The Xiaowan was about to be born.

Back then, when Yue Huaiyin sent people to burn Ling Xiao Inn, Little Pei ran out from his mother's stomach to save the fire. Furthermore, before the firefighting, he had cast a barrier to prevent the inn from being hit by the snowstorm and the flood.

Thinking about it now, it was not only her grandmother who had interfered with her parents' lives back then. Even Little Pei himself had done a lot of things unwittingly, causing his parents' lives to deviate from their original path.

This time, Xiaowan was like any other person, peacefully passing through their pregnancy. Even though they had experienced many things with Ling Chaofeng, they had still relied on their own strength to resolve it.

However, the pure hearted Xiaowan believed the doctor and said that she was not pregnant with twins. It was only at this moment, when the pain made her want to die, that she realized that she was pregnant with two babies.

When Ling Chaofeng rushed to the top of the stairs, Xiaowan had just endured the waves of pain. He closed his eyes weakly and felt his husband's hand on his cheek.

”Late at night. Aunty won't let me stay here. I'm going out soon. I'll be waiting for you at the door.” Ling Chaofeng's heart was in pain, although the doctors told him to prepare earlier, but when it really came to this day, he still panicked.

”Husband, am I really pregnant with two children?” Xiaowan strenuously asked with a silly smile on his face, ”Why are you so powerful?”

Ling Chaofeng laughed: ”Now you're still in the mood to joke? Besides, it's not that I'm powerful, it's just that you're powerful. Late at night, you suffered. ”

”Not at all.” The Xiaowan laughed, she still wanted to ask, ”Has Lian Yi already left, and boarded the boat?”

”She even said that she wanted to wait for you to give birth before leaving, but she wanted to return to the capital to express her gratitude.” Ling Chaofeng said, ”Although it's a pity, it's not a big deal, in the future we will bring our children to the capital to play.”

Xiaowan's gaze looked into the house. Aunt Zhang and Susu were there, although the midwife and doctor hadn't arrived yet, Susu rolled up her sleeves with a face full of calmness. Aunt Zhang was not in a hurry either, this made her feel at ease.

”Where's Little Pei?” Xiaowan asked.

”At the door. He was not allowed in.” Ling Chaofeng said.

”I want to see him.” The Xiaowan said.

After a moment of hesitation, Ling Chaofeng went to the door and brought his son in. Little Pei ran to the bedside and held his mother's hand to kiss it, and his tears unconsciously fell on his mother's hand. Xiaowan immediately felt much better.

”Silly child, you'll be a big brother in a while.” The Xiaowan comforted Little Pei, ”Little Pei doesn't cry, nor does it hurt his mother. It doesn't hurt at all.”

But very quickly, another wave of pain came. Even though Little Pei's tears could make Xiaowan less painful, the new pain was not only a test for her mother, but also a tenacious little life that was trying hard to come to this world.

The doctor had arrived and the midwife had arrived. Ling Chaofeng took his son and left the room.

He moved his hand a little but Ling Chaofeng realized that he had used too much strength. He squatted down and rubbed his son's palm, hugging him and giving him a kiss.

The painful groan of the Xiaowan could be heard from inside the house. Seeing how the little one revealed a nervous and distressed expression, Ling Chaofeng felt gratified but at the same time, felt very guilty.

He brought his son and sat on the ground by the door, holding Little Pei in his arms as they spoke, ”Little Pei likes mother so much, but Father still misunderstood that you were jealous of me and wanted to do something to hurt Mother. Little Pei, Daddy wants to apologize to you one more time, forgive Daddy, okay? ”

Little Pei immediately became proud of himself. ”Then, are you going to be naughty in the future? Your father won't beat me up anymore.

Ling Chaofeng looked at his son without speaking, all of his dignity in his eyes.

Of course Little Pei could understand it.

Ling Chaofeng scratched his stomach, he twisted and turned a few times, but was still afraid of being mocked as a man. Then he jumped up to scratch his father's itch, the father and son were playing, Little Pei screamed, and was covered by his father's mouth.

Separated by the door, the inside of the house was very quiet. Xiaowan had just endured a sharp pain, and just happened to hear the father and son duo arguing outside, causing the exhausted people to smile. She firmly grabbed onto the bed sheets, gritted her teeth, and made sure that the child would be safely born.

In the capital city that was a thousand miles away, the sky was clear today. The lotus flowers in the palace pond were blooming, and Siyan brought her daughter to admire the flowers.

The empress took her in her arms and held her out, but the little princess stroked the lotus before withdrawing her hand and looking at the empress with a smile.

”No more?” Siyan asked her daughter.

”Flower …” The little princess was still trying to understand the meaning of his words, but was unable to speak out loud. She could only mutter, ”Beautiful.”

Siyan smiled gently, ”The flowers are beautiful, let her bloom in the pond, okay? Mother will bring you to see her every day.”

Her daughter agreed, and after playing with her mother for a while by the pond, she decided to go elsewhere.

Siyan was holding his daughter's hand and walking away. Unknowingly, she suddenly wanted to look back, but after one glance, she saw that lotus flower that his daughter touched earlier, slowly rising into the sky while emitting a translucent radiance.

”Empress, what are you looking at?” The Palace Maid beside her, upon seeing the Queen's surprised expression, all of them looked towards the pond as well.

Just as Siyan was about to speak, the lotus flower gradually disappeared in midair. A gust of wind blew past, and it was unknown where it was headed.
