Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan knew the gender of their child ten days ago.

Powerful Chinese medicine doctors can determine the gender of a child from the pulse. This is something that the imperial doctors know tacitly, but few doctors say it out loud, and instead use various excuses to explain it away.

Not talking about the various derived reasons, the fundamental reason they didn't talk about was the same: less killing.

Some people don’t want to give birth to a girl, and some don’t want to give birth to a boy, or some don’t want pregnant women to give birth to girls, and some don’t want pregnant women to give birth to boys.

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of pregnant women and children, it is the greatest kindness to say nothing.

But this is not necessary here with Zhao Hanzhang.

As an emperor or empress, she will take good care of her, whether she is a girl or a boy.

Therefore, the imperial doctor diagnosed her gender after she was six months pregnant and told her on the spot.

Yes, Zhao Hanzhang was six months pregnant. The outside world thought that she was only about four months pregnant. Except for Fu Tinghan and the imperial doctor, Ting He knew the specific time, and even the Wang family did not know.

At this time, we have to thank the current popular clothing. Zhao Hanzhang has many styles to choose from. In addition to the casual clothes for martial arts and travel, her court clothes and casual clothes in the palace are mainly loose. The former is complicated, and the latter is relaxed and elegant. , all covering the belly.

Moreover, her belly is not very big.

Zhao Hanzhang was worried in the middle, feeling that her belly was not growing at all. At four months, her belly was as if she had eaten an extra barbecue at night and had a small bulge. Who knew that in the fifth month, her belly would look like a balloon? It seemed like a long time before Zhao Hanzhang announced the news.

She is very cautious, she trusts Ji Yuan and Ming Yu, she also trusts Zhao Mingzuti and others, she trusts Zhao Erlang and Bei Gongchun, she trusts all civil and military officials, but...

She is equally suspicious. Even if it is Fu Tinghan, she can trust him, but she will not deliberately test people's hearts.

Therefore, she will be prepared for unexpected surprises, show trust, and always leave a space for herself in her heart.

After eight months of pregnancy, six months as the outside world speculated, Zhao Hanzhang began to reduce the number of court meetings. The large court meetings were changed from once every ten days to once a month, and the small court meetings were changed from daily to once every five days to focus on reporting things.

Zhao Hanzhang temporarily established a discussion cabinet, which was composed of the chief and deputy officials of Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and the six ministers of Shangshu Province. They would discuss political affairs and give opinions on how to deal with them, and major matters would be reported to Zhao Hanzhang.

Not to mention, after the establishment of the Council, work efficiency has improved.

Zhao Hanzhang was very satisfied with this, and Fu Tinghan also went out less often. Most of the time he spent in the palace handling affairs of the Shangshu Province, and at the same time helping her handle some government affairs.

In fact, when she couldn't bear to sit for a long time, he would read the documents he handed in to her. After she gave her opinions on how to deal with them, he would write for her with a pen and occasionally give some opinions.

Zhao Hanzhang changed the date of the Umrah meeting based on her expected delivery date. She was lucky. September 9th was the Double Ninth Festival and the Umrah holiday ended on September 12th, so the Umrah meeting was postponed to September 15th. She had labor pains on September 10th and started Production.

The imperial doctors had already prepared, and Zhao Hanzhang walked into the delivery room by himself.

Fu Tinghan also changed into clean clothes and followed her in. While she was circling the delivery room, she told Zeng Yue who was listening outside the window, "Don't make too much noise, just pay attention to the curfew."

Zeng Yue asked: "Should we deploy soldiers and horses from the fourth battalion to the palace for defense?"

Zhao Hanzhang refused, "The distance between Nanying and Dongying is not far. Reinforcements can arrive in an hour. There is no need to panic."

Fu Tinghan saw her words of comfort and relaxed hands patting her belly, but he still noticed her nervousness, so he reached out to grab her hand, "Take a deep breath?"

Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him and asked Zeng Yue to make arrangements, then took Fu Tinghan's hand and dangled it around.

Both of their palms were a little wet. Fu Tinghan's palms were sweatier than hers. It was obvious that he was really nervous.

Zhao Hanzhang was also nervous, but she told herself in her heart that she would fight it as a battle. There was no battle in the world that she could not win.

She said to Fu Tinghan: "I will win this time too." She wanted to get Fu Tinghan's affirmation to add some confidence.

Fu Tinghan nodded, "All the doctors from the Imperial Hospital are here. We have prepared a lot of medicine and also invited military doctors who are good at surgery. Even if it is the worst outcome, we can handle it."

Zhao Hanzhang became full of confidence.

Mrs. Wang temporarily went to the ancestral hall to burn a stick of incense, asked her father-in-law and husband to bless her daughter well, and then hurried over.

She was stopped just as she entered the courtyard. Fan Ying said softly: "Empress, Your Majesty has to concentrate on the birth. Why don't you rest in the side hall and wait for good news."

Wang said: "No, I have to go and guard Sanniang."

Hearing her voice, Zhao Hanzhang opened the window and said, "Auntie, go to the side hall and wait. I'm still distracted while you're here."

Fu Tinghan also said, "Don't worry, I will be with you here in Hanzhang."

Mrs. Wang saw Fu Tinghan's eyes widening in the delivery room and wanted to say something, but thinking that her daughter was already an emperor, what happened to Fu Tinghan accompanying her daughter to give birth?

How painful it is to give birth to a child. As a royal husband, isn't it natural to be by your daughter's side?

So Ms. Wang swallowed her words and kept suppressing the deep-rooted thoughts in her heart. After a while, she became confident and nodded: "Then I will wait in the side hall. Sanniang, if you have anything, just call me. I have given birth to two children." My kid is very experienced."

Forget it, Zhao Hanzhang has nothing to learn from her experience. From giving birth to teaching children, she looks ignorant and has no experience at all.

However, Zhao Hanzhang still smiled and nodded, agreeing.

The current labor pains come one after another. Zhao Hanzhang has a high ability to tolerate pain and does not take this pain into his heart.

She thought she was only afraid of medical accidents during childbirth, not the pain of childbirth.

Now, her weight and abdominal circumference are acceptable. Both the imperial doctor and Wen Po have touched her belly. The fetal position is correct and the size of the child is appropriate. Her heart rate and pulse results are all healthy, so she has nothing to fear. of?

It was just the pain of childbirth. She had been slashed with knives, stabbed with swords, and shot with arrows. She had experienced a lot of pain.

Then that night, Zhao Hanzhang turned pale in pain, and the hand holding Fu Tinghan was so painful that she couldn't say a word, and she didn't even scream.

Fu Tinghan knelt behind her to support her, and wrapped an arm in front of her, letting her hold on tightly.

Zhao Hanzhang's nails had been trimmed, but when he grabbed his arm, blood still came out. Fu Tinghan felt pain, but his mind was not there. He looked at her face, which was as white as hers, sweating like rain. General fell and looked anxiously at the imperial doctor and Wen Po.

The imperial doctor was sweating. He was able to enter the delivery room at the beginning of the delivery for the first time. The emperor deserves to be an emperor, and the emperor's husband deserves to be an emperor's husband.
