After entering February, Li Ye's family began to become nervous. According to normal time, Qingyu's due date was this month, and Li Tengkong also specially moved into Prince Qi's palace to take care of his precious apprentice.
Li Tengkong has extremely superb medical skills. She is well aware of the dangers faced by pregnant women, so she pays special attention to the health care of pregnant women during pregnancy. She has compiled a set of anti-abortion exercises and promoted them in various places in Longyou, requiring every pregnant woman to get up early and do the exercises every day.
She has to walk 2,000 to 3,000 steps. In addition, she also disclosed three anti-fetal prescriptions and some postpartum anti-inflammatory measures.
Thanks to her tireless promotion, local governments responded and encouraged doctors and midwives to learn her methods of tocolysis and delivery techniques. The results were very good. The two main culprits of maternal death were dystocia caused by incorrect fetal position and infection caused by untimely anti-inflammation after delivery.
It has been well handled, resulting in a significant drop in the maternal mortality rate in Longyou prefecture. Last year, less than ten pregnant women died due to dystocia in Longyou prefecture.
Li Tengkong was also highly praised by the people in Longyou, giving her a reputation as a fairy who gave birth to children.
That morning, as usual, Qingyu was walking slowly in the palace with the support of two maids. Suddenly, he felt a burst of abdominal pain. The maid was so frightened that he ran back to report the news.
Dugu Xinyue received the news and hurriedly ordered a dozen maids to carry Qingyu into the delivery room on a bamboo bed. She also sent someone to notify her master Li Tengkong, and the whole house became busy.
At this time, Li Ye was discussing the attack on Jingxiang with two military advisors in Jiedu Mansion.
"The most important thing in the attack on Jingxiang is to capture Xiangyang. The moat of Xiangyang is extremely wide and suitable for a waterway attack. The key is that there must be people in the city to support us, and we must cooperate internally and externally to capture Xiangyang, otherwise it will be difficult to capture Xiangyang."
Li Ye had managed Xiangyang, and he knew that Xiangyang was difficult to attack. Historically, the Yuan army attacked Xiangyang for decades before finally capturing it, which shows how difficult it was.
Liu Yan smiled and said: "It is said that it is difficult for Liang Chongyi to recruit troops now. Not only are there no soldiers, but there are also a large number of deserters."
Li Ye sneered and said: "This is because the local gentry in Jingxiang did not support Liang Chongyi. We also encountered it back then. The difference is only the light and shade of resistance. We resisted covertly, while Liang Chongyi resisted openly, so there were deserters."
Li Mi said slowly: "It is precisely because they have difficulty recruiting troops that this is an opportunity. At this time, Shen Chenzhou needs to play his role."
Li Ye glanced at Li Mi and asked, "Is there anything Chang Shi can do?"
Li Mi nodded, "I do have a plan."
At this moment, a soldier rushed over and said a few words to Wei Yingwu who was standing at the door. Wei Yingwu nodded, walked forward quickly and whispered a few words to Li Ye.
Li Ye smiled and said: "Let's discuss it tomorrow! I have to go home, the little lady at home is going to give birth."
"Then your highness, please go back quickly!"
Li Ye said to Li Bi: "Chang Shi might as well write me a plan and I will take a closer look tomorrow."
Li Mi nodded, "Liu Sima and I will discuss it again and write a complete plan to His Highness."
Li Ye simply tidied up and hurried back to Prince Qi's Mansion.
At this time, the inner house is full of women. From the time the child is born to the time it opens its eyes, no other adult men are allowed to touch the newborn baby, except the father and the doctor. This is also a custom in Longyou.
Li Ye stood waiting outside the courtyard, feeling quite uneasy. There were no caesarean sections in the Tang Dynasty. Once any symptoms appeared, there would be one dead or two. For thousands of years, women's childbirth has always been a hellish experience.
Mothers from wealthy families will give birth in large wooden barrels filled with hot water, which makes it easier for them. This is also the experience accumulated over thousands of years.
Of course, medicines are also very important, such as agarwood, Wulingzhi, etc., which are all helpful for childbirth.
At this time, Li Ye suddenly heard a baby crying, and his hanging heart suddenly relaxed.
Everyone was busy for a while. Li Tengkong walked out tiredly. Li Ye quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Auntie, how are you doing with Qingyu?"
Li Tengkong smiled and said: "You have a good conscience and know how to ask Qingyu first. That's not bad. Mother and son are safe!"
"Ah! Is it my son?"
Li Tengkong nodded, "Your mother is really discerning. She always said that Qingyu was destined to have sons, and she was right. Both of them are sons."
Li Ye was overjoyed, now he had three sons.
After cleaning up, Li Ye also changed his clothes and came to the quiet room.
The quiet room was very warm and quiet. Qingyu was lying on the bed with a pale face, covered with a thick quilt, and her face looked very haggard. A maid was feeding her porridge. Next to her was a large cradle with a newborn baby.
The swaddle was placed in the cradle, and the baby slept soundly.
"Let me do it!"
Li Ye took the porridge bowl from the maid's hand and carefully fed Qing Yu the porridge.
"Husband, is there no color at all on my face?"
Li Ye nodded and said with a smile: "Take good care of yourself and you will recover!"
Qingyu also nodded slightly, "Xiao Baoer's facial features are very similar to those of my husband, have you noticed?"
"I feel it, and this little guy looks very domineering. I guess he will be a martial arts material when he grows up."
"Then what will your husband name him?"
Li Ye smiled and said: "I have already thought about it. The official name is Li Hua. The Hua next to the word "wood" refers to China, and the nickname is Sanlang."
"Then why is his brother called Li Tan?" Qingyu asked again.
Li Ye smiled and said: "Actually, this is what Tan Lang wants to thank his daughter. I hope he will grow up to be a handsome man with both good looks and good looks!"
"I see."
After Li Ye fed Qing Yu hot porridge, he saw that she was a little tired, so he lowered his head and kissed her, "Have a good rest!"
"Husband, go ahead! I'll take a nap for a while."
Li Ye kissed the newborn baby's little face again, and at the same time gave a few words to the two personal maids, asking them to sit aside and keep an eye on the mistress and the child, and to inform them of anything at any time, and then he left.
Arriving at the back hall, Princess Xinyue and Yang Yuhuan were talking in the hall.
"How is Qingyu?" Xinyue asked.
"She is a little tired and has already fallen asleep. The little guy also slept soundly."
"My husband already has six children, so the palace is a bit small and needs to be expanded." Yang Yuhuan said with a smile.
Li Ye smiled and said: "There is no need to expand, maybe we will move. Let me tell you a news, the emperor is likely to move the capital."
"Really?"
Dugu Xinyue was suddenly surprised and said: "What about Guanzhong and Chang'an?"
Yang Yuhuan's expression was a little complicated, and he asked cautiously: "Does your husband want to go over?"
"I don't know yet."
Li Ye shook his head and said: "Some things cannot follow the plan. Many times, no matter how much you think about it, it is useless. Maybe if you take a step forward, it will suddenly happen, so just let it take its course."
Li Ye will not go to Jiedu Mansion for the time being and will simply rest at home for the day.
He came to his study room and as soon as he sat down, Yang Yuhuan walked in with hot tea.
Li Ye saw the worry in her eyes, so he held her in his arms and sat down, asking her, "Is Yuhuan afraid of Chang'an?"
Yang Yuhuan lowered his head and whispered: "I'm actually afraid that my husband cares about my past."
Li Ye shook his head, "The bright moon of the Qin Dynasty and the Pass of the Han Dynasty, looking at Chang'an for hundreds of years during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, no matter which dynasty it is in Chang'an, countless rulers have existed in that land, and everyone has left their own traces, and I will not be an exception.
, Tang Minghuang's era is over, you will live in my era, understand? I don't care about your past, but I hope you will completely break with the past and fully embrace the era I created."
Yang Yuhuan spread her pretty face, hugged her husband's neck and smiled: "I understand, I am your woman, now and in the future!"
