The 30th day of the first lunar month, at the hour of You.
"Tai Nv Zhengjun, hold it in! Don't use too much force yet, and don't shout."
In the Laifeng Kingdom's palace, Mu Lige in the Lingkun Courtyard of the East Palace was still enduring the labor pains before giving birth. Several steady men were waiting by her side, giving her guidance and reminders from time to time.
"Brother Li..." Hua Qingcheng looked at Mu Lige, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and was extremely anxious.
Mu Lige's handsome face was distorted by the onset of contractions. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his hair and the bedding beneath him.
Hua Qingcheng looked at Mu Lige with heartache, and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with the handkerchief in her hand, but the sweat kept pouring out like a spring, making her feel helpless and anxious.
At this moment, Mu Lige's eyes, as bright as the stars, were slightly narrowed, losing their former brilliance. His handsome eyebrows were furrowed, and his lips were tightly pursed, as if he was enduring great pain. Hua Qingcheng held his hand tightly, trying to give him some strength and comfort. Her eyes were full of concern and worry, as if she herself was enduring the same pain.
The dormitory was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if time had frozen in time and seemed to stretch for an extremely long time. Hua Qingcheng's heartbeat quickened with each contraction. She wished so much that she could share some of Mu Lige's pain. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that everything would go smoothly, that her brother Li would be safe.
As the contractions became more frequent and intense, Mu Lige's face turned pale as paper, and she began to sweat. Hua Qingcheng was filled with fear. Giving birth is said to be a journey through the gates of hell. She was terrified of losing her brother Li and of seeing him get hurt.
Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but let the tears fall. She wished she could do something for Mu Lige, but she was powerless and could only watch her beloved brother Li suffer in agony...
Mu Lige wanted to say something to comfort Hua Qingcheng, but he was suffering from labor pains at the moment and had no time to care about anything else. He could only concentrate on giving birth.
Xiao Lengyu, who was in charge of recording and observing Mu Lige's labor, felt that it was almost done, so he said, "Your Highness, please go to the side and rest first. Let me see how dilated your Highness's cervix is."
Upon hearing this, Hua Qingcheng could only get up from the chair in front of the bed and walk to the side.
Seeing Hua Qingcheng standing aside, as if ready to monitor him, Xiao Lengyu said helplessly, "Your Highness, please step away a few steps."
"I won't leave. I'll stay here and watch you. You just go about your business." Hua Qingcheng stood guard beside Mu Lige's bed like a stone talisman, refusing to let Mu Lige leave her sight.
"Xiao Qingcheng, we are all here, don't be nervous." Han Yichen, who was wearing special clothes, gave Hua Qingcheng a soothing look.
"No, he never lets me see him during his checkups. Could it be that he wants to do something..."
Hua Qingcheng stared at Xiao Lengyu with extremely sharp eyes, as if if Xiao Lengyu showed any sign of misbehavior, her eyes would immediately turn into sharp arrows and shoot him to death.
Feeling extremely wronged, Xiao Lengyu could only look for help at Xuanming, who was sitting on the couch beside him.
"As for Qingcheng, A Yu can still be trusted. Just let him check your Zhengjun." Seeing Hua Qingcheng was overly nervous, Xuan Ming could only speak.
However, Hua Qingcheng's attitude was very firm, "I didn't stop him from checking, but I have to watch the whole process."
"Qingqing~"
Mu Lige's voice was weak and he looked extremely tired. Mu Lige wanted to hold Hua Qingcheng's hand, but unfortunately, he was in so much pain that he couldn't even do such a simple action.
"Brother Li, I'm here." Seeing this, Hua Qingcheng hurried forward and held Mu Lige's slightly cold and sweaty hand.
"The production is bloody, you go wait outside." Mu Lige said with difficulty.
"Brother Li, I won't leave. I want to stay here with you. We are husband and wife. There is nothing I can't see or know. You don't have to feel embarrassed." Hua Qingcheng's tone was still firm.
Everyone was helpless and could only let Hua Qingcheng do as she pleased.
Under Hua Qingcheng's concerned and vigilant gaze, Xiao Lengyu once again lifted the quilt covering Mu Lige and checked the dilation of his cervix.
Hua Qingcheng stared in shock at the seven or eight centimeter gash on Mu Lige's lower abdomen. Furthermore, Mu Lige's breasts were incredibly full, almost twice her size...
Hua Qingcheng's lips trembled slightly, and she felt that everything that was shocking before her was beyond words.
"Second Elder, Valley Master, Zhengjun's cervix has dilated to eight fingers." Xiao Lengyu said as he checked.
Xuanming nodded slightly when he heard this, "Continue to monitor closely."
"Yes, Second Elder."
Seeing Hua Qingcheng's surprised expression, Han Yichen, who thought she was frightened, raised his hand and waved it in front of her worriedly, and asked, "Xiao Qingcheng? Xiao Qingcheng? Are you okay?"
"A... Achen, Second... Second Master, Li... Brother Li's... his stomach was... was it squeezed to pieces? And... and his chest..." Hua Qingcheng's lips trembled slightly, her eyes full of horror and shock.
"That's my brother's cervix. It opens during childbirth and slowly closes about a month after the birth. As for his chest..." Han Yichen said with a bit of trepidation, thinking about how he'd end up like that in the future. "Once the baby's weaned, it'll slowly return to normal."
"So...so that's how it is..."
The question that had been lingering in Hua Qingcheng's mind about how men give birth to children was finally answered. However, at the moment, she was more worried about Mu Lige and had no time to satisfy her curiosity.
