Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 2236: An Le Gives Birth, Xia Yuan Spoils the Child_2
Although she was severely nauseated, fortunately, Princess Anle did not experience any bleeding or other symptoms throughout her pregnancy, which was considered a blessing.
The entire pregnancy was spent amidst such constant torment, and finally, the day of delivery arrived.
Lin Yuan and Princess Anle’s pregnancy timelines were almost the same, but strictly speaking, Lin Yuan was a bit earlier.
It was initially assumed that she would be the first to give birth, but unexpectedly, Princess Anle went into labor first.
That night, under Xia Yuan’s meticulous care, Princess Anle managed to eat a small half-bowl of rice porridge with great difficulty. Suddenly, she had an appetite and ate several bites of chicken and two steamed dumplings.
This was the most she had eaten in these ten months, and Xia Yuan was overjoyed, his already thin face filled with smiles.
But this happiness did not last long, as Anle’s expression suddenly changed.
"Oh no, my, my stomach hurts! No, it’s my stomach! I must have eaten too much!"
The room was full of people, all watching her anxiously, but unexpectedly, Anle blurted out such a sentence. Needless to say, Xia Yuan and the others, even Ah Jin and Ah Yin pursed their lips disdainfully and complained, "Greedy, tummy ache, spank!"
Perhaps inheriting Xia Zheng’s foodie nature, the two of them always had to eat to their heart’s content, and if not for Lin Yuan’s threats of spanking, they would definitely have eaten to the point of having stomach aches.
The admonishment usually reserved for themselves was now applied to their grandmother, and the two little ones were delighted, sneaking back to the table to feast while no one was paying attention.
Princess Anle was not overstuffed because she soon broke her water, and the little one inside was restlessly descending.
Although it wasn’t her first childbirth, the pain was still unbearable.
Princess Anle’s screams could almost be heard throughout the General Mansion.
The midwives had been found beforehand, and the delivery room was in chaos, filled with Anle’s agonizing wails and the maids’ guidance and comfort. The various sounds made Xia Yuan even more restless.
Even though her water had broken long ago, more than two hours had passed, and there was still no sound of a baby’s cry from inside. Xia Yuan’s legs were starting to weaken.
Perhaps it was contagious; listening to Anle’s heart-wrenching cries, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but feel as if her stomach was always dropping.
After another hour, she could no longer hold on.
"Ah Zheng, I, I’m going into labor too!"
With his mother on one side and his wife on the other, Xia Zheng was so anxious that his head was about to explode.
Frantically, he carried Lin Yuan back to their courtyard, sent two midwives over to assist with the delivery, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had listened to Lin Yuan earlier and hired several midwives, otherwise, he would have been worried to death today.
Whether it was because she was young or because the first childbirth was not long ago, Lin Yuan’s delivery this time was very smooth.
The little one surrendered after less than two hours, emerging from her little house.
"Is it a daughter? Really a daughter? Haha, it’s really a daughter!"
Looking at the tender little girl in his arms, Xia Zheng laughed heartily. He finally had a daughter. Haha, if mother gave birth to another son, he wondered how dark father’s face would be!
The news of Lin Yuan giving birth to a daughter immediately reached Xia Yuan’s ears, and finally having the granddaughter he yearned for, he should have been overjoyed, but Xia Yuan couldn’t feel happy.
His wife was still lying in the delivery room; he hoped nothing would go wrong! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"Anle, no matter if it’s a boy or a girl, as long as it’s born, it’s fine. Heaven bless, mother and child safe, mother and child safe!"
Perhaps hearing Xia Yuan’s prayers, Anle suddenly let out a scream, immediately followed by the sound of a loud baby’s cry.
"It’s born, it’s born! Finally born!"
Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly realizing that his hands were drenched in sweat.
Halfway here, Xia Hen couldn’t help but tease, "Brother just said boy or girl is fine, and now the little one decides to come out. Could it be another son, afraid that you wouldn’t be happy, thus hesitating to come out?"
These words were like stabbing at Xia Yuan’s hopeful wish for a granddaughter.
But Xia Yuan was neither angry nor disappointed, "As long as mother and child are safe, that’s all that matters."
Only when loved ones experience life and death, it suddenly becomes clear that boy or girl, beautiful or ugly, as long as the wife and child are safe, it’s worth more than anything!
With a creak, the maid walked out with the newborn.
"Congratulations, General..."
"Is Madam well?"
Before the maid could finish, Xia Yuan had already looked past her into the room.
The maid pursed her lips and smiled, "Princess just said, if the first thing you ask isn’t about her, she’ll seek separation from you! But now it seems, Princess can rest assured, haha."
Pfft!
Xia Zhen and Tian Hui couldn’t help but laugh, these words indeed sounded like something Princess Anle would say.
Xia Yuan also laughed heartily, "Being able to say that, it seems Madam is fine. Fine, as long as she’s fine!"
Now he could finally relax.
"Come, let me see this little rascal of yours. You made your mother endure so much; you must be mischievous and need to be properly disciplined!"
The maid’s hands emptied as the tiny bundle was somewhat roughly snatched by Xia Yuan.
She collected herself and quickly reminded, "Be careful, General, the young lady is fragile and can’t withstand such handling!"
What!
Y-Young lady?
It turned out to be a daughter?!
"Mingzhu, daddy’s back, come out and greet daddy!"
Before the person appeared, the voice had already entered the room. Princess Anle couldn’t help but curl her lips and immediately got up and walked out quickly, whispering to the man taking big strides to rush in.
"Keep it down! The daughter’s just fallen asleep!"
Huh? Asleep? How could this little thing sleep so much? Sleeping during the day is improper, quickly wake her up!
Back when Xia Zhen and Xia Zheng slept, Xia Yuan would wake his two sons with his loud voice.
But now...
"Huh? Asleep? Why sleep during the day? Is she feeling unwell? Does she have a fever, is she cold?"
Xia Yuan sneaked past Princess Anle, tiptoeing into the room, speaking in a voice as low as a mosquito’s buzz.
Looking at the tender little one in the bed curtain, Xia Yuan’s heart almost melted.
The daughter is so pretty; she must take after me!
Extending his hand cautiously, afraid that his hands accustomed to swords might hurt his daughter’s delicate skin, he deliberately lightened his touch, gently brushing his fingertips over his daughter.
"Good, she’s not sick. Did she eat? Did she have any fruit? I heard girls need to eat more fruit to grow beautiful!"
Fearing he would wake their daughter, Princess Anle quickly dragged him to the outer room.
Even in the outer room, Xia Yuan deliberately kept his voice down, afraid of disturbing his daughter’s sweet dreams.
"Fruit, fruit, don’t you know it’s winter now, where are there so many fruits to eat?"
There actually were fruits, but this guy only talked about their daughter as soon as he entered, not even asking about her, so she felt a bit jealous.
Xia Yuan, however, took it seriously, immediately standing up to head outside.
"Where are you going? You just got back!"
"I’m going to the palace to ask for some fruits; after all, the palace is full of fruits; it wouldn’t miss a little for our daughter!"
Anle was amused and bemused, but when she saw the "little" fruits Xia Yuan brought back, her jaw almost dropped.
A basket of apples, two baskets of pears, a large basket of mangoes and dragon fruits from the Southern Border, and specially purchased red cherries and raspberries from Dongling.
Little by little, there were enough to fill two large carts!
Is this really just a little?
