She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

"Oh? Jing'er has a good idea? Tell me about it." The old prince raised his eyes and became interested.

"Grandfather, we can put some flower pots on the deck and grow vegetables on the boat. Even if it's not much, we can always have something green to eat instead of going without a meal for a month."

Shangguan Yajing thought of the flower pots in the palace's greenhouse, each containing a different flower, which could be moved into the house to grow. She wondered if she could also grow vegetables on a boat in this way.

"Jing'er, this is a good idea. Why didn't we think of it before? If we have to sail on the sea for a few months, we can raise some chickens and pigs, so that we can eat fresh meat instead of eating frozen meat in the ice cellar." Yu Yuanzheng gave her daughter a thumbs up.

"That's right. Next time we go out to sea, we will grow some vegetables on the boat." Shangguan Ziqi was happy that his daughter could come up with this idea.

"Father, I want to go out with you next time. I'll grow vegetables." Shangguan Yajing made an appointment immediately.

"Then you have to learn how to grow vegetables. Don't cry when they don't sprout."

"I'll find a gardener to teach me when I return to Beijing." Shangguan Yajing said confidently.

"A gardener grows flowers, he doesn't know how to grow vegetables." Yu Yuanzheng criticized.

"Then I'll go to Zhuangzi to study."

Everyone had a great meal at this New Year's Eve dinner.

Magistrate Qin was praised by Emperor Qiming as "capable of doing things". He was so happy that he went home happily, thinking that he would definitely have a chance of promotion.

The next day, everyone packed light and headed for the capital.

The four sisters of the Chun family could not ride horses, so they were asked to go to Beijing with the goods. Even the two maids, Lixiang and Taoxiang, were not brought along, and they were asked to take care of the four sisters along the way.

The fast horse reached the capital in just seven days.

The old prince sent Emperor Qiming back to the palace.

Shangguan Ziqi ran excitedly towards the palace with his family of five.

But just as he ran to the gate of the palace, he saw the old princess and her daughter rushing out of the palace, and her usual carriage was parked at the door.

"Grandma, little aunt, we are back."

Seeing this from a distance, the three children started shouting.

The old princess stopped when she saw her son and his family coming back.

But although there was a smile on his face, he did not see the joy of his relatives, but a smile with a sad look.

The five people quickly arrived at the gate of the mansion.

"Mother, where are we going?" Yu Yuanzheng was observant and could tell at a glance that the old princess had something urgent to do.

They did not send a letter home in advance, as they wanted to give their mother a surprise.

"You guys are back just in time, Zheng'er, come with me to Wanmin Hospital now.

The eighth princess went into labor, but a day had passed and she still hadn't given birth.

I sent Nanny Ye to keep an eye on her, but she reported back that the eighth princess was having a difficult delivery and the midwives in the hospital couldn't do anything about it.

"I was just planning to go to the hospital with Mengyao, but the Empress Dowager has left the palace. Two doctors have also gone to the Imperial Hospital," the old princess said anxiously.

"What?" Yu Yuanzheng was shocked when he heard it.

It’s not even the due date yet, how come it’s almost a month early?

Even if you're pregnant with twins, you wouldn't give birth this early, right?

The eighth princess married into the Yu family in August of the previous year.

She got pregnant in less than a year, and it was twins.

Yu Yuanzheng checked her out before going out to sea and the fetus was doing well.

"Husband, you guys go back first. I'm going to the hospital first. My sister-in-law is going through a difficult time. She will feel more at ease with me by her side." Yu Yuanzheng instantly forgot the tiredness of the journey.

Fortunately, she came back in time.

"I'll go with you. You don't have to go, mother. Take the children in." Shangguan Ziqi made the decision immediately.

The old princess felt heartbroken when she saw her three children had gone on such a long journey.

Did you come back here at full speed?

"Where is your father?" The old princess asked in confusion when she didn't see her old man.

"He sent the Emperor back to the palace and will be back soon."

Yu Yuanzheng didn't even enter the mansion, nor did he have time to say hello to his younger sister. He and Shangguan Ziqi rode their horses directly to the hospital.

It was already 3 p.m., and the people who came to see the doctor had already dispersed.

Yu Yuanzheng went directly into the women's ward from the north gate.

Come to the obstetrics department.

I saw that all the relatives were waiting here, and even the Queen Mother was sitting outside the delivery room, feeling uneasy.

"Father, mother."

Yu Yuanzheng's shout attracted everyone's attention.

"Zheng'er? You're back?" Zhao Yuejiao was overjoyed when she saw her eldest daughter.

As long as the eldest daughter is there, she will be able to keep her daughter-in-law and her child safe.

As soon as the Queen Mother saw her, her anxious mood was greatly relieved.

"Greetings, Her Majesty the Grand Empress." The couple greeted each other.

"Yuan Zheng, you're finally back. Yan'er went into labor last night, but hasn't been born yet. I was so worried." The Queen Mother held Yu Yuan Zheng's hand, her eyes filled with worry and helplessness.

It didn't take so long when she gave birth to the seventh prince and the eighth princess.

"Your Highness, please don't worry. Wait until I go in and take a look. My sister-in-law will be fine. I will do my best."

"Sister, I'm counting on you." Yu Qingsheng finally felt relieved when he saw his sister coming back, having been worried for a whole day and night.

With her elder sister around, Yan'er and her child will be safe.

Yu Yuanzheng didn't have time to exchange pleasantries. She washed her hands and face, changed into the clothes provided by the hospital, and went into the delivery room.

Both Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie were there, as well as Yu Yueyin.

Two female doctors assisting.

As soon as she walked there, she heard the weak voice of the Eighth Princess.

"This princess will not give birth anymore. This princess has no strength left. This princess is going to die."

He can still speak, so he probably hasn't reached his limit yet.

When Mrs. Xie saw someone coming in, she turned around and looked as if she had seen a savior.

"The Princess Zhenguo is back, that's great."

She was asked to deliver the princess because she felt too much pressure, and the eighth princess's fetal position was abnormal.

She had tried all the experience she had accumulated throughout her life, but she just couldn't get it right.

The main reason was that she was pregnant with twins. If it was just one, she wouldn't be so troubled.

Moreover, the princess was so delicate that she didn't dare to use any harsh force. If she hurt the princess or the child, she couldn't bear the responsibility.

"Sister, it's great that you're back." Yu Yueyin was so excited that she almost cried.

Yu Yuanzheng nodded, walked a few steps to the bedside, and saw that Cao Jinyan was not angry at all, feeling distressed.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

"Sister, wuwu...it hurts so much, I want to die, I won't give birth anymore." The eighth princess couldn't hold back her tears anymore when she saw Yu Yuanzheng.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You've worked so hard to carry the baby for ten months and raise him. Now that the baby is about to come out and call you mother, how can you say such depressing words?"

"But I really have no strength left." Cao Jinyan tried to wipe her tears weakly, but Yu Yueyin was faster and wiped them for her.

"Sister-in-law, now that my eldest sister is back, you don't have to worry. You will definitely be able to give birth to the baby." Yu Yueyin comforted.

Yu Yuanzheng first took the eighth princess's pulse and then touched her belly.

I found that the fetal positions were very strange. One was lying sideways and the other was head up. Both fetal positions were not correct.

It’s really difficult to adjust it properly.

It's not just one thing. If you adjust one, what will happen to the other one? It's impossible to control.

No wonder the Xie family had no solution.

"Princess Zhenguo, is there any solution?" asked Mrs. Xie eagerly.
