She was ...

Chapter 3 Birth

When Wanyan Honglie learned that Gu Ning was about to give birth, he rushed over immediately, and kept repeating that it had to be a daughter, it had to be a daughter.

In Manchu society, the paternal aunt held a very high status.

It turned out that Gu Ning had given birth to three sons before she became pregnant with this child a few years later. Wanyan Honglie loved his wife very much, so he wanted a daughter just like her.

Therefore, Wanyan Honglie paid close attention to this pregnancy, because the doctor had revealed when the fetus was seven months along that it was most likely to be a girl.

Gu Ning also wanted a daughter, since having too many sons made them less valuable.

Because she had already given birth to three children, this delivery was very quick, taking less than an hour.

Of course, this was also due to Ye Wanwan's own efforts. After all, she was a person with an adult soul, so she worked very hard to climb out.

Ah~ Ah~ Ah~

"She's given birth! She's given birth!"

Ye Wanwan was born in the fourteenth year of the Shunzhi Emperor's reign. (It is said that the Shunzhi Emperor lived to be twenty-two years old.)

The midwife came out carrying the baby and congratulated Wanyan Honglie, "Congratulations, sir, your wife has given birth to a daughter." The midwife was the same one who had given birth to sons the previous three times, so she naturally knew that Wanyan Honglie wanted a daughter.

Wanyan Honglie was also very happy, after all, it was the daughter he had longed for for several years. Taking the child from the midwife, he asked, "How is the Princess Consort?"

The midwife replied, "The lady is a little weak, but everything is fine."

Wanyan Honglie happily said, "Good, good, good! The entire household will be rewarded with half a year's worth of monthly allowances."

He then carried Ye Wanwan into the delivery room. In fact, Wanyan Honglie had been in the delivery room when his first three sons were born, after all, he really loved his wife.

Seeing his wife looking exhausted, he said gently, "You've suffered a lot."

Gu Ning also loved her husband very much. She looked at him with tenderness and said, "It is indeed tiring, but I am willing to be tired to bear children for you."

The child cried: Ah~ Ah~ Ah~

Ye Wanwan: (?′?`?)*??* I don't want to cry either, but I can't control myself.

Gu Ning looked at the child and said to the wet nurse that the child must be hungry. Upon hearing this, the wet nurse immediately took Ye Wanwan into the inner room to breastfeed.

Ye Wanwan wanted to cry. She felt helpless. Although her body was that of a newborn baby, her soul was that of a nearly thirty-year-old adult!

I was still struggling with the decision of whether or not to suckle. Unfortunately, before I could figure it out, something was already in my mouth, and most importantly, I was sucking on it without even realizing it.

Ye Wanwan froze instantly. The wet nurse looked at the strange Ye Wanwan and said, "Why isn't Gege eating? Did she wet herself?" Just as the wet nurse was about to uncover the blanket to see if the child had wet herself, Ye Wanwan gave up her original idea.

I'm just a child. What's wrong with breastfeeding? Isn't breastfeeding normal? I'm proud to breastfeed; I've lived a second life!

And so, Ye Wanwan began to nurse without any psychological pressure. When the wet nurse saw that Ye Wanwan had started nursing again, she stopped checking whether the baby had wet herself.

After checking on Gu Ning in the delivery room, Wanyan Honglie went to the front yard to find the piece of paper on which he had named his daughter. Gu Ning was also a little tired, so she fell asleep.

The paper had several girls' names written on it, and Wanyan Honglie planned to discuss which name to choose after Gu Ning woke up.

When Gu Ning woke up that night, the first thing she did was ask how Gege was. The wet nurse brought Ye Wanwan to Gu Ning's side, and Gu Ning said, "Give me the child." Gu Ning was Han Chinese, and her manners were less strict than those of the Manchus.

Naturally, Gu Ning did not intend to entrust all the children to the wet nurse's care. Including Ye Wanwan's three older brothers, they were all personally cared for by Gu Ning.
