Pang Xiao's mind was buzzing. Back when he was fighting on the battlefield, he didn't even frown when he was cut by a knife, but now, he was nervous and afraid.
Before he left, his grandmother specially called him aside to talk to him alone.
"Dai Fu, you have to be more careful when you go out. Giving birth to a child is like walking through the gates of hell. Yi Yi has suffered a lot since she married into our family, and she's also suffered a lot outside. Her body isn't much better than a normal person's, and it's even harder for her to be pregnant with twins. It's also more dangerous during childbirth.
"You've tired her out this time and made her go out with you with a big belly. You have to be more responsible, care for her, and give in to her. Once you see that the situation is not good, you have to stop immediately. You mustn't be in a hurry during the confinement period, do you understand?
"Don't make a promise to me and then forget about your wife later on! Let me tell you, when your mother gave birth to you, she almost lost her life due to hemorrhage. If we didn't manage to find a good doctor in time, the consequences would have been worse. Sister Yi gave birth to twins in one go, so it's even more dangerous. Don't take my words for granted! "
…
Recalling Mrs. Ma's nagging, Pang Xiao's hands and feet turned cold.
Seeing Pang Xiao standing there in a daze like a wooden stake, Huzi couldn't help but pat Pang Xiao worriedly. "Wang Ye, what's wrong with you?"
Pang Xiao suddenly snapped back to his senses after being patted. He turned his head in a daze. "Huh? What did you say? "
Huzi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was rare to see Pang Xiao like this. Thinking of the Qin Yining situation, Huzi also straightened his expression and asked the same question again.
Pang Xiao seemed to have been enlightened. He slapped his thigh like an anxious child.
"Yes, yes, it's better to gather firewood together. Go and get the best midwives in Liang City. It's better to have more people around so that they can refer to each other. At the same time, see which way the medicine shop door is open, in case we don't have enough medicine."
"Wang Ye is right. I'll tell them to go now. "Tiger cupped his hands and retreated.
Pang Xiao turned around and called for Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi. "Please follow me."
When Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi saw that Pang Xiao looked so serious, they knew that something difficult must have happened and needed their help. They immediately bowed and followed Pang Xiao into the west wing.
The three of them sat down according to their identities. Xu Weizhi asked, "Does Wang Ye have any difficulties?"
"Indeed." Pang Xiao said seriously, "This King has thought of a few names and would like to ask the two of you to help him think about which one to use."
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi were speechless.
They couldn't accept that Wang Ye was using the attitude of discussing national affairs to name the future Little Heir Apparent.
Xie Yue looked at Pang Xiao's serious expression and coughed to hold back the smile on her lips. She also said seriously, "Wang Ye, our status is low. I'm afraid it's not good to name the Little Heir Apparent or Little Miss."
Pang Xiao waved his hand. "The two of you are both very talented. Moreover, with our relationship, why should we care about those worldly rules? The two of you have been with me for so many years and have always done your best. I've always treated the two of you as family. We also need to discuss the names of the children. "
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi felt warmth in their hearts when they heard this.
Xu Weizhi asked with a smile, "Wang Ye, what names have you thought of?"
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "I've thought about it for a long time. Earlier, I discussed the names of the children with Sister Yi. However, Sister Yi said that I am the father, so the names need to be chosen by the father. She arranged everything for me. I've thought of two names, 'Bosom Friend' and 'Bosom Foe'. What do the two of you think? "
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi thought for a moment and exchanged a look. They already had an understanding of Pang Xiao's ability to name names.
"These two words come from the 'Art of War' chapter of 'Sun Tzu's Art of War.' It suits the identity of Huzi from a general's family." Xu Weizhi smiled. "However, what if the Princess Consort gives birth to two daughters?"
"This … I've thought about it. It's not impossible to name the girls Bosom Friend and Bosom Foe."
Xie Yue's mouth twitched. She didn't know how the Princess Consort's Yao Clan would feel if they knew that their daughters' names were Bosom Friend and Bosom Foe.
Xu Weizhi thought for a moment and said, "If the Princess Consort gives birth to two young masters, Bosom Friend and Bosom Foe will be called the same as Wang Ye's courtesy name. Moreover, when Wang Ye started the rebellion, he had the identity of General Pang. Shouldn't we consider what the Pang Family's generation should be? "
Pang Xiao frowned. Even though he didn't have any feelings for the Pang Family, he had to admit that Xu Weizhi's words made sense.
"I heard my mother say that the Pang Family's generation should be called Ru regardless of gender."
"That's it." Xu Weizhi smiled and said, "Why don't we use two characters after the word 'Ru'? It can be used regardless of whether the Princess Consort gives birth to twins or fraternal twins. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? "
Pang Xiao suddenly understood and said with a smile, "The two of you are so thoughtful."
Pang Xiao stood up and paced a few steps. He smiled and said, "What do you think of the two characters' Zhao 'and' Han '?"
"Ru Zhao, Ru Han … Good, good. These two characters have the meaning of light. Whether it's a brother or a sister, they can be used. They even used the word 'Ru' from the Pang Family's genealogy. Whether it's the meaning or morality, it's perfect. It's very good." Xie Yue smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Xu Weizhi also smiled and said, "Whether it's Zhao Ge 'er, Han Ge' er, Zhao Ge 'er, Han Ge' er, or Han Ge 'er, they're all good. Wang Ye's two names are very good. "
Pang Xiao also smiled for a while. But when he thought that Qin Yining was still being tortured,
The joy of having a child's name was swept away and turned into deep worry.
He still didn't feel confident.
Pang Xiao went to the door of the side room again and listened to the movements in the room. Several times, he wanted to lift the curtain and enter the room, but he was stopped by Bing Tang.
Seeing that night had fallen, Huzi hurried over with the local doctor and midwife.
"Wang Ye, we've invited the most famous midwife and doctor in Liang City. With the people we've brought, Wang Fei will definitely be safe. You don't have to worry."
Pang Xiao didn't care about anything else and nodded anxiously.
Standing there, he could only hear the sounds in the room. In between, there were some groans of Qin Yining enduring the pain and the comforting sounds of Bing Tang.
The flow of time seemed to have become exceptionally slow at this time. Pang Xiao was so anxious that he couldn't stand or sit. He was so worried that his body and mind were exhausted. He almost rushed into the delivery room to check on the situation. Only a few hours had passed.
In the middle of the night, when everyone was at their most sleepy, the pain of Qin Yining's labor became intense.
The doctor that had been invited took the pulse through the gauze curtain. Bing Tang examined carefully and then discussed with the doctor to use a decoction to induce labor.
In less than fifteen minutes, there was movement.
Pang Xiao had just gone to the side room to take a sip of hot tea when he heard someone report that there was movement in Wang Fei's room. He couldn't care about anything else. He grabbed a large cloak and rushed out.
Waves of stifled groans came from the delivery room. Compared to those people who screamed in pain, Qin Yining's pain made Pang Xiao's heart ache more.
The curtain lifted and a wave of hot air mixed with the thick smell of blood came out. A mama came out with a basin of bloody water. She went to pour it out like the wind. Another mama boiled hot water and brought it in.
Pang Xiao saw the large basin of bloody water and was completely panicking.
What to do, what should he do?
"Wang Ye, don't panic. Go rest for a while. There will be good news in a while." Huzi couldn't pay attention to the movements in the delivery room. He turned to the side and didn't want to see the mama coming in and out. He also didn't want to hear what was going on inside. He only urged Pang Xiao to rest.
Pang Xiao shook his head and stood silently in place.
The noise in the room became louder. The mama who came out with the basin of blood became more frequent. Pang Xiao's face became uglier.
"It's been four hours. Why hasn't the baby come out yet? How much blood can be lost like this! " Pang Xiao's face was as pale as a ghost. He grabbed a mama who was bringing hot water in, "What's going on inside!"
The mama was shocked and almost threw the brass kettle away. It was not good to talk about it in front of a man. She only said, "Nothing, nothing."
"Then what's going on? How is Wang Fei now? Why is there so much blood! "
How could the mama answer this?
"Wang Ye, I, I, I don't know. Why don't I let the doctor tell you?" The mama rushed into the room as if she was running away.
Not long after, Pang Xiao heard Bing Tang's voice through the curtain, "Wang Fei is fine. Wang Ye, don't make trouble here!"
He didn't come out to explain and was extremely impatient.
Pang Xiao wasn't angry at all. He was half relieved.
He knew Bing Tang's medical skills. He also trusted Bing Tang's character.
If Bing Tang said it was fine, then it should be fine, right?
Pang Xiao was relieved for the time being, but he still refused to leave the door of the delivery room. He stood in the cold and wet courtyard, almost turning into a statue.
Huzi couldn't stand it anymore. He had no choice but to make a charcoal brazier and put it next to Pang Xiao. He also brought over a chair with a thick cushion for Pang Xiao to sit on. He also gave Pang Xiao a heater with a suitable temperature.
Pang Xiao was usually too lazy to use these garrulous things. At this time, he was wholeheartedly concerned about the safety of his wife and child. He didn't care about these things at all. When Huzi handed it over, he took it.
After waiting for another two hours, the room became noisier. During this time, it was mixed with the midwife's encouragement and Qin Yining's uncontrollable cries of pain. Not long after, there was a loud cry.
Pang Xiao stood up. The heater in his hand fell to the ground. The charcoal inside spilled all over the floor.
Hearing the baby's cries, Xie Yue, Xu Weizhi, and the others who were waiting in the side room all rushed out at the same time. They looked expectantly in the direction of the side room.
A mama's hands were still stained with blood. She lifted the curtain and came out. She bowed with a smile so sharp that her eyes couldn't be seen. "Congratulations, Wang Ye. It's a healthy brother. He weighs five and three taels and is very beautiful! There's also a small cinnabar mole between his eyebrows! It's too cold outside. I was afraid that the brother couldn't stand it, so I didn't bring him out. Wang Ye will know when he sees him later! "
Pang Xiao was stunned at this time. He could only grin and nod. "This King knows. How is the Princess Consort? How did she …"
Before he finished speaking, another cry came from the room. This cry was even more powerful than the previous one.
Not long after, another mama rushed out. "Wang Ye, congratulations. Second Young Master Pang Xiao is six and one tael. Mother and child are safe!"
Pang Xiao's hand, which was tightly gripping his sleeve, suddenly relaxed. He let out a long breath.
