It was early morning in April, a beautiful springtime. I, who love life, cherish such moments. Sitting comfortably in the pavilion and enjoying breakfast, I exclaimed, “Why is this breakfast porridge again?!”
“Manager Ling, today it’s bird’s nest porridge, different from yesterday’s red date porridge,” the maidservant explained. I slapped the stone table, “No matter what kind of porridge, it’s still porridge!”
“Xiao Han, how can you be so picky?” Bao Xi’s voice came from afar. He excitedly ran towards me. Although Bao Xi had grown into a handsome young man, tall (at least taller than me), his behavior and speech still seemed immature.
“Bao Xi? What are you doing here?” I stared at him in shock. Weren’t they supposed to be tied up and sent back to the palace? How did they end up here? “Not just me, look, they’ve come too.” In the distance, the other three jumped down from Bao Bao’s exclusive flying carpet.
The three of them smiled at me, and I awkwardly smiled back. It seemed the court officials were nearly going mad. “Why are you all here? Have you neglected court affairs?”
Bao Bao folded up the flying carpet and excitedly said, “I heard a little gossip from Dad, today is a big day, Xiao Han jiejie!” I nearly choked, “What?” Thinking it over, indeed it was about time.
“That’s right, so Bao Bao gege and I brought Xiao Shang and them along!” Bei Bei, perched on Bao Bao’s shoulder, giggled innocently. A grimace of pain during childbirth flashed through my mind.
“Can I avoid childbirth?” I asked innocently. Just kidding, ancient medicine was unreliable; childbirth could be fatal at any moment!
“Of course you can’t!”
“Everyone immediately shouted loudly. Wuwu, no hope… T^T
My stomach suddenly hurt intensely, “Ow~ It hurts!” I fell to one side. Shang rushed forward to hold me, and the four carried me into the room. Everyone in Tianxia No. 1 Hall was busy – boiling water, preparing for delivery…
“Manager Ling, push harder!” The midwife screamed beside me. I thought, what do you want me to do? I haven’t eaten breakfast! Where am I supposed to find strength?!
“Ahhh!!!” I howled. Childbirth pain is no joke…
