Chapter 1: The Birth of the Baby Girl

Translator: Vicky_

In the delivery room, covered in the light of the bright moon and several stars, a baby girl’s tender cry sounded. And then all the people of the Duke’s family were cheering excitedly.

The Duke’s family was a family of military officers. There were four generations alive in the Duke’s family now. They had never had a daughter for thousands of years. In the Phoenix Dynasty, when women were in power and equality between men and women was highly commended, the Duke’s family was absolutely peculiar.

All the young masters in the Duke’s family had good character and excellent martial arts. They were still criticized. The Duke’s family even attracted the attention of several generations of female emperors and was mocked by almost all the officials.

“The eldest grandson’s daughter-in-law gave birth to the eldest granddaughter of the Duke’s family. She is a great contributor to the Duke’s family and she will be rewarded greatly!”

The Old Master, the head of the Duke’s family, blushed with excitement. He kept hitting the floor with his stick and assigning tasks to his four sons. He was asking them to go to the imperial palace and close friends’ residences to deliver this good news as soon as possible.

“The girl is here. Please have a look, Old Master, sirs and madams.”

The wet nurse of the eldest grandson’s daughter-in-law walked out of the delivery room happily and came to the front hall with the newly-born girl in her arms.

“Wow, my dear, our granddaughter is so beautiful!”

Before the wet nurse came to the Old Master, the Duke and his wife, who had been waiting here for a long time, grabbed the baby girl wrapped in a quilt and held her in their arms.

The porcelain-like little baby girl was wrapped in a quilt. She did not open her eyes or her mouth. She seemed to hear the boasting voices of the Duke and his wife. The little baby girl was smiling.

The Duke and his wife took a breath. They looked at the little baby girl, and their hearts melted. They wished they could hold their granddaughter and never let her go.

“Hey, you. Take the baby girl to me!”

The Old Master couldn’t wait to see the little baby girl anymore. He even wanted to poke his stick at the nose of the Duke.

“Ha ha, dad, look, my granddaughter is smiling.”

The Duke was reluctant to let go of his granddaughter and walked over to the Old Master with his granddaughter in his arms. He kept looking and smiling at her granddaughter.

“Oh, my dear great-granddaughter, I have been looking forward to you for such a long time. Finally, you come to me.”

The Old Master stroked the quilt with his thin fingers and looked at the baby girl’s fair and tender face. At that moment, he could not hold back her tears anymore.

“Great-grandpa, let us have a look at my little sister.”

Seven boys of different heights hurriedly ran in from the hall, gathered around the Duke, stretched their necks on tiptoes, and peered into the quilt.

“Get out of here, you naughty boys. Don’t frighten your sister.”

The Duke waved his hands impatiently. He just wanted to drive those naughty boys away. He did not want them to frighten his granddaughter. The Duke protected the quilt with both hands, fearing disturbing his granddaughter’s dream.

“Hey, let us have a look, just a look, okay?”

The boys were unwilling to leave. They were still trying to have a look at their sister around the Duke.

“Dad, just let them have a look. If you don’t let them have a look at their sister, they won’t leave. They will make a lot of noise here.”

The Duke’s son, the little girl’s biological father, smiled and shook his head. He came to the Duke and looked at his beloved daughter. He was very happy that he had a daughter now.

“Alright, I will let you guys just have one look.”

The Duke did not want to go against his eldest son’s will. He patiently agreed to the request of those boys. Therefore, he leaned over to the Old Master and sat down. He protected the baby in his arms and let the noisy boys come to the front to look at their sister.

“My sister is so beautiful! She is as white as cotton candy.”

“My sister is so pretty! She has a white face, like an egg.”

“My sister is so fragrant and soft! I want to hold her.”

The boys lined up obediently and walked past the Duke one by one. The innocent voices made the adults in the room smile. The madams covered their mouths with their handkerchiefs and kept laughing.
