Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

This matter also came to an end with the final conclusion of the Imperial Hospital. As for the final fate of that young lady Weixia and the almost crazy maid standing in front of him, it is no longer known.

However, there are many methods in the palace, so Qi Ning'an doesn't have to worry about these things.

The lotus pond outside was full of blooming lotus flowers, so Qi Ning'an told the Queen how wonderful the world outside was. The Queen was very happy to hear that, and she felt that her pregnancy days were a lot more relaxed.

Qi Ning'an still helped the Queen to regulate her body step by step, and she spent some time working from sunrise to sunset.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day when the queen gave birth every year.

The Imperial Hospital estimated that it was almost certain that the baby would be born in those few days, and everyone was on high alert, fearing any mishap. All the efforts made by everyone during this period of time were completely wasted.

The Queen Mother couldn't help feeling a little nervous. Although this was not her first childbirth, it was definitely the most stressful one.

This is probably the last time I will give birth in this life. If I lose the child by accident, wouldn’t all my efforts during this period be in vain?

Qi Ning'an was already the calmest person in the entire Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. The Queen was pregnant and no one dared to let her walk around, but Qi Ning'an insisted that she still walk around every day, otherwise she would not be able to bear it.

Everyone was full of uncertainty, but the people at the Imperial Hospital also said that walking around would help the Empress with her delivery.

Everyone then walked around with the Queen in a skeptical manner.

On that day, it was said that the flowers in the Imperial Garden were in full bloom. Everyone carefully accompanied the Queen. In previous years, the Queen would also walk around the Imperial Garden at this time.

This year, I was walking around in the Imperial Garden with a big belly, and I didn’t feel as tired as in previous years.

"Zhao Ping, I don't feel tired when I walk around now. Even with such a big belly, I feel more relaxed than before when I wasn't pregnant. It seems that I still need to eat some meat." The Queen smiled at Qi Ning'an beside her, with indescribable appreciation and satisfaction in her eyes.

During this period of time, everything Qi Ning'an did made the Queen feel that it was worth it. Fortunately, she believed the Emperor's words at that time.

Just as she was talking and laughing at people and teasing at the lotus flowers in the lotus pond, the queen suddenly covered her stomach and frowned.

Qi Ning'an was startled, but soon calmed down and shouted, "The queen is about to give birth, help her back to the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests."

Everyone hurriedly sent the queen back to the Qinian Palace, where a "delivery room" had been prepared long ago.

The director of the Imperial Medical Bureau has arrived, and this is something the Empress cannot joke about.

For a moment, the Qinian Palace was in a state of bustle, with palace maids carrying water and passing cloths, and midwives waiting outside the door early.

Qi Ning'an stood by and comforted the queen softly. She thought that this was the result of her amniotic fluid breaking and it would take some time before she gave birth.

"Your Highness, please be patient. The most important thing now is to conserve your energy. Your Highness has maintained a good weight, so the baby must be healthy. The most important thing now is to relax and not be so nervous. I will prepare some food and drinks for you. Eat as much as you can. Only when you have the energy will the birth of the baby go smoothly."

Perhaps it was because Qi Ning'an's voice was too calm that the queen unconsciously felt relieved. She no longer had the strength to answer Qi Ning'an and just nodded.

Qi Ning'an quickly left the palace and went to the small kitchen in the Qinian Palace. Qi Ning'an ordered Lixia to cook a large pot of sugar water, adding less sugar and salt and more water. No matter how much the Queen could drink, it would at least replenish her strength.

Qi Ningan stood by the stove, his eyes fixed on the salt and sugar water in the pot.

At this time, Lixia whispered, "Young lady, is this sugar water really useful?"

Qi Ning'an nodded, "It's better than nothing. Giving birth is very physically demanding. This salt and sugar water may be ordinary, but it can quickly replenish energy."

However, this is the fastest homemade "water of life" to replenish physical strength in modern history. It can help people recover their strength quickly. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, you have to eat it.

After the salt and sugar water was ready, Qi Ningan scooped out a bowl and carefully carried it to the delivery room.

As soon as she reached the door, she heard the Queen's painful cry from inside. She could sense the Queen's pain just from the sound. She took a deep breath and walked into the house.

"My queen, please drink some sugar water." Qi Ning'an said softly.

The queen forced herself to open her eyes, drank a few sips, then lay down again, sweating all over her head, and continued to exert herself.

Perhaps the sugar took effect, the queen felt a little better.

Fortunately, the child didn't seem to intend to torment his mother, and the Queen's suffering did not last too long.

I originally thought it would take a while to give birth, but I didn't expect it to be so quick.

The midwife kept encouraging the queen to push harder, while Qi Ning'an gently wiped the sweat off the queen's forehead with a handkerchief. After a difficult struggle, finally, a loud baby cry echoed throughout the Qinian Palace.

Everyone showed a look of joy, and Qi Ning'an also breathed a sigh of relief. The baby was finally born. Judging from the loud voice, it should be a healthy and sound child.

The head of the Imperial Hospital came over to check and said with a smile on his face, "Congratulations to the Queen on giving birth to a prince. Both mother and child are safe."

The queen smiled weakly, and seemed to have used up all her strength to say to Qi Ning'an, "Thanks to you."

Qi Ning'an quickly waved his hands and fed the Queen a large bowl of salt and sugar water.

There was joy everywhere in the Qinian Palace, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In the palace, a prince was born in the Queen's belly. This is such a rare thing.

The nanny accompanied the queen in the palace. The queen opened her eyes reluctantly and asked, "Is the child okay?"

The nanny wiped the sweat off the queen's head with a kind face and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, your majesty, the little prince is healthy."

The Queen finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the child was fine.

The emperor finally arrived and hugged the little prince with gratitude. This was his youngest child, so he naturally felt very sorry for him.

"Zhao Ping, thank you so much. The Queen and I have never had a healthy little prince, and now he is so strong and has such a loud voice. It's all thanks to you. When you return to the Marquis' Mansion, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

The emperor's smiling face made everyone in the Qinian Palace feel relieved. It seemed that the empress's position was secure this time, and everyone didn't have to worry about anything anymore.

Qi Ning bowed his head, the matter was finally over.
