Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 1039 Production

"Zhen'er, the imperial physician and midwife are currently staying at the manor. If you feel anything is amiss, just call them over to wait."

Chu Junting said seriously, "I have already asked my father for leave today. Starting tomorrow, I will not need to attend court. I will stay at home and take care of you."

The doctor had previously said that the due date was approaching, but they didn't know exactly when it would start.

Even when he went to court these past few days, he felt uneasy, so he simply took leave today and stayed at home so that he could be by his side if he felt unwell.

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but feel happy.

Although I had prepared myself mentally beforehand, not knowing exactly when it would happen still made me feel panicked.

Knowing that Jun Ting was with her, she felt more at ease.

However, Song Ruozhen suddenly realized that the pain was getting more and more intense, and quickly grabbed Chu Junting's hand, "It seems like I'm really going to give birth."

"Hurry up!" Chu Junting's expression immediately changed.

The imperial physician and midwife rushed over. It was the first time Song Ruozhen had ever seen Chu Junting so nervous. Even though he wasn't the one giving birth, he seemed even more nervous than she was.

Bai Zhi immediately sent someone to inform the Song family, as the madam had previously instructed that they must be notified as soon as possible.

Soon, Song Ruozhen truly experienced what the pain of childbirth meant.

Even though she tried to remain calm, the waves of pain were unbearable, so intense that she couldn't even make a sound.

The midwife told her to conserve her energy for childbirth later.

Because she was pregnant with three children, the childbirth process would be longer, and she needed to conserve her energy.

Chu Junting stood guard outside, but found that there was no movement inside, only the sound of maids and nannies pacing back and forth. He couldn't hear his mistress and couldn't help but get anxious.

"What's going on inside? Why is there no sound at all?"

Gu Ruyan and the others exchanged glances, also finding it strange.

"When my wife was giving birth, I could hear her moaning the whole time. Why is it that when my fifth sister was giving birth, there was no sound at all?"

Song Yanzhou frowned, clenched his hands, and couldn't help but feel anxious. Why were the situations different?

"No, I still have to go in and take a look."

Chu Junting's expression was solemn. He was really worried and had to go in and check on things.

Seeing that Chu Junting was walking straight inside, the nanny quickly stopped him.

"Your Highness, a woman giving birth is a very unclean place. You mustn't go in! It will bring bad luck!"

However, Chu Junting didn't care at all. "The Crown Princess is giving birth to my child. What bad luck would it be if I went in?"

Should I be there for her during childbirth? Otherwise, I won't feel at ease.

"Your Highness, it might not be appropriate for you to go in!"

Seeing that Chu Junting was in such a hurry to go in, Gu Ruyan couldn't help but feel anxious. Since ancient times, men have never been allowed to enter during childbirth.

Although she didn't think it was unlucky, many people still liked to criticize it.

If Chu Junting really goes to jail, and everyone ends up accusing him of something, that would be really bad.

Chu Junting turned to his mother-in-law and said, "Mother-in-law, I won't feel at ease if I don't watch over Zhen'er with my own eyes."

Seeing Chu Junting's worried and anxious expression, the Song family members ultimately did not voice their objections.

Since Zhen'er got married, they realized that although His Highness the Crown Prince was not Zhen'er's relative, his affection for Zhen'er was even deeper than that for his own family.

The current tension is clearly due to extreme worry.

If Zhen'er were to really get into trouble, I can't even imagine what His Highness the Crown Prince would become.

"Keep this a secret; no one is allowed to spread it."

After giving the order, Chu Junting turned around and went inside. He himself did not think there was anything wrong with the matter, but if the matter were to spread, it might indeed be used against him.

He himself didn't care, but he couldn't tolerate Zhen'er being talked about.

Song Ruozhen's clothes were soaked with sweat. She endured the waves of pain in her body and did as the midwife and the imperial physician told her.

Suddenly, the anxious voices of the midwife and the imperial physician could be heard: "Your Highness, why did you come in? This is absolutely not allowed. Please leave immediately."

"This is none of your business. How is the Crown Princess now?"

Chu Junting immediately noticed Song Ruozhen's pale face. Despite the presence of so many people in the room, she looked fragile and helpless, and he was instantly heartbroken, his eyes reddening as well.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is doing well, but because she is carrying triplets, it will take longer."

The imperial physician quickly spoke up, knowing that the Crown Princess was a clever woman and that her medical skills were far superior to his.

Chu Junting breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everything was going smoothly.

He walked to Song Ruozhen's side, took her hand, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm with you."

Song Ruozhen was somewhat surprised to see Chu Junting arrive, but she was also touched.

In ancient times, men who could do what he did were extremely rare.

Chu Junting did not leave, but stayed by her side, watching the scene in the delivery room. His resolve grew stronger, and he vowed never to let Zhen'er suffer like this again.

Around noon, the sound of a child being beaten was finally heard.

Upon hearing the sound, everyone outside breathed a sigh of relief and showed expressions of joy.

"She gave birth! She's finally given birth!"

"Thank God, we're safe and sound."

Gu Ruyan couldn't help but pray. Pregnant with three children was too dangerous. Ever since Zhen'er became pregnant, she couldn't help but worry.

Now that I've finally given birth to one child, I just hope that the next two children will also have smooth sailing.

"He is a young master."

The midwife was overjoyed; the baby had finally been born safely.

If she does this job well, she will have made a great contribution and will be rewarded handsomely. But if she does it poorly, it will be a disaster.

Chu Junting glanced at the child, then, not caring about anything else, saw that Song Ruozhen seemed to have lost her strength and quickly put the ginseng slices into her mouth.

"Madam, you are truly brave."

When Song Ruozhen saw Chu Junting wipe the sweat from her forehead, she squeezed his hand tightly.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

As the second cry rang out, the midwife was overjoyed again, "Congratulations, Your Highness, and congratulations, Your Highness, on another little prince!"

After giving birth to her second child, Song Ruozhen felt completely exhausted, and her mind suddenly went blank.

She took a deep breath, knowing that she had to persevere no matter what. She was carrying a child, and if she didn't give birth soon, the child might be in danger.

"Give me a cup of ginseng tea, I have no strength left."

Chu Junting quickly had someone bring over the ginseng tea and handed it to Song Ruozhen's lips.

For some reason, he felt an unprecedented sense of panic.

"Zhen'er, you must hold on!"
