Xiao Hua entered labor very suddenly. She was awoken in the middle of the night by the pain.

The western pavilion's lamps were immediately all lit, and everyone was running back and forth in preparation.

Eunuch Fu arrived right away, and stood there directing everything. Nana He, Matron Xu, Ding Xiang and the others started preparing for the delivery.

Xiao Hua was first given a wet towel bath, and then a meal. This time Nana He didn't limit how much she could eat.

After eating, she was supported by Ding Xiang and the others over to the eastern wing.

Once they got to the delivery room, Matron Xu first felt the position of the fetus before smiling and saying: 'Very proper. Have two people support madam and walk around for a while."

"She still has to walk?" Chun Cao exclaimed.

"Yes yes yes, walk, walk."

Xiao Hua didn't say anything and had Ding Xiang and Chun Cao support her while she walked in circles around the room.

After fifteen minutes, she sat down to take a rest before continuing to walk. Xiao Hua was already sweating all over from pain. Ding Xiang couldn't help but say to Matron Xu: "She doesn't have to exercise at this point, right? Madam is in a lot of pain."

"Walk some more, it'll be good for the birth." Matron Xu said.

Ding Xiang looked towards Nana He.

"Listen to her." Nana He said.

Hearing Nana He say this, Matron Xu couldn't help but give a satisfied smile. But thinking of this old woman's status, she hurriedly retracted it.

"Madam, you have to bear with it. Suffering more now means suffering less later."

Xiao Hua's face was pale as she nodded. She continued to walk with Ding Xiang's support.

The Jing Prince had been sitting outside ever since Xiao Hua entered the delivery room. Men were not permitted to enter, otherwise he would have long since gone inside to check on the situation. Eunuch Fu and Auntie Qi accompanied him, and their faces were grave. Even Doctor Hu was standing by.

Ding Lan came out to report: "Nana He told this servant to come give an update and reassure highness. Madam's fetus is in a very proper position, but she still needs to wait a bit before giving birth."

The Jing Prince nodded his head and Ding Lan went back inside.

Auntie Qi said softly, "Highness shouldn't worry. It's not that fast for a woman to give birth."

The Jing Prince didn't speak but the tea saucer in his hand shattered.

Seeing this, Eunuch Fu hurriedly called someone over to switch it out.

Doctor Hu also comforted on the side: "Highness shouldn't worry. Based on madam's condition, there shouldn't be any issues."

Within the delivery room, Matron Xu asked Xiao Hua how frequent the pain was coming, and then felt the fetus position again.

"Good, good. It's still in the proper spot. The baby's head is also downwards. Walk a little longer, and it'll be easier to give birth."

After walking another fifteen minutes, Xiao Hua was unable to stand steady. She was completely leaning against Ding Lan and the others for support. Only then did Matron Xu allow them to support her over to the bed.

Xiao Hua lay in bed, her body covered in sweat.

Matron Xu instructed Ding Xiang: "Go prepare hot water for madam to clean her body, and help her change into clean clothes."
