It was raining on August 10th.
Shang Changge woke up very early, while it was still dark. As soon as he made a movement, Xiao Ji, who was sleeping beside him, opened his eyes.
"Where do you feel unwell?" Xiao Ji's voice was magnetic and husky, just after he woke up, and very gentle.
Shang Changge paused for a moment, then, using the faint light of daylight, met Xiao Ji's gaze with her long, beautiful phoenix eyes and spoke:
“I dreamt that our child told me he was going to be born today.”
Xiao Ji was startled, his sleepiness vanished, and he got up. "I'll have them call the midwife over. I won't be attending court today."
Shang Changge reached out and grabbed the man's collar just in time, feeling both helpless and amused: "It's just a dream, it doesn't have to be real..."
Shang Changge couldn't continue speaking because the sudden contractions distorted her expression.
Xiao Ji's expression hardened, and he picked up Shang Changge.
In less than fifteen minutes, the midwives and other necessary personnel arrived. The delivery room bustled with activity, and everything was prepared in an orderly fashion.
As Shang Changge became pregnant, she gradually learned a lot about childbirth and realized that it was impossible to give birth in one painful moment.
This is my first pregnancy, so even if it's quick, it will still be around noon or afternoon.
Despite the pain, she pinched Xiao Ji's cheek: "Why don't you go to court? It'll take a long time."
Xiao Ji held Shang Changge's hand, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, and shook his head without saying a word.
Qingyao and Zhuque watched anxiously and worriedly from the sidelines, but there was nothing they could do.
The midwife was also afraid. She had done so many births that she couldn't handle today's baby, who was a princess of unparalleled status.
If this happens... she'll lose her life, no, everyone in this house will lose their lives.
Carrying over the nourishing food and soup to replenish qi and blood, she dared not approach Xiao Ji, and carefully placed the soup in front of Qing Yao, saying:
"My lady, my lady. Let the princess eat this food; she'll have more strength to give birth later..."
With Xiao Ji present, Shang Changge didn't need to eat the food and soup herself, nor did anyone else need to feed her.
Xiao Jicai left the delivery room between dawn and nearly noon.
Shang Changge is about to give birth.
Before leaving, Xiao Ji bent down and kissed Shang Changge's soft lips, but he couldn't say anything despite having so much to say.
Finally, urged by Shang Changge, she suppressed her surging emotions and left the delivery room, but didn't leave; she stood at the door of the delivery room.
Losing his composure, his imposing figure was extremely tense, especially when he heard Shang Changge's voice or any sound that belonged to Shang Changge, he became almost stiff, like a statue standing still.
In addition to feelings of heartache, worry, fear and apprehension, I was also filled with feelings of guilt and remorse.
Inside the delivery room, as soon as Xiao Ji left, Shang Changge lost the large hand she could hold and the object of her pain, and instantly started swearing.
"grass!"
It hurts so much! Can we send this baby back and not have any more?!
Qingyao and Zhuque's eyelids twitched, and the two of them quickly grabbed their master's hands, one on each side.
The midwives and others were startled by the princess's sudden outburst of temper, but they quickly regained their composure and went about their business.
Outside the door.
Shang Changze arrived as soon as court was over, and had been standing outside the delivery room for almost as long as Xiao Ji. He came to Xiao Ji's side and asked:
"Is your condition alright, sister...?"
He keenly noticed Xiao Ji's bloodshot eyes, paused, and felt a mix of emotions. He knew Xiao Ji's temperament fairly well; he was cold-blooded, ruthless, and decisive.
If he hadn't stood outside the delivery room for so long today, asking the people going in and out of the delivery room several times to find out that his sister was safe and sound, he would have been fine.
Given Xiao Ji's current appearance, he might mistakenly believe it's his sister and the child in her womb... But that's fine too.
In short, my sister married the right person.
Shang Changze stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the closed door of the delivery room. His gentle and refined face was filled with worry, and his hands under the wide sleeves of his dragon robe clenched together.
My sister and the child will be safe and sound, I'm sure of it.
