Half a month passed quickly, and the much-anticipated palace examination was finally about to begin.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Xiaowu and Jingwen entered the palace with Prime Minister Zhao.

As soon as the three of them left, the princess's mansion fell into chaos.

"Mom, my stomach seems to be a little bit wrong." Meihua leaned against the door with her brows furrowed. She subconsciously hugged her stomach. Her face was pale and there was some sweat on her forehead.

After hearing this, Zhou's heart trembled suddenly, and she asked worriedly: "What's wrong? Isn't the birth still half a month away? Why is it that something is wrong now?"

Without waiting for Meihua to respond, she strode forward and carefully helped her into the house.

"Hurry, go inside and lie down first." Zhou's voice rose unconsciously, revealing a bit of anxiety that was difficult to conceal.

The maids and old women saw that something was not right and ran to boil water and prepare things.

"Second brother, you stay here and I'll go find a midwife." Boss Zheng knew that he couldn't help much here, so he took the initiative to do some errands.

Although his mother also has experience in delivering babies, things are getting better and better now and conditions are different from the past, so it is still safer to have a midwife.

Meihua saw everyone was in a hurry, grinned, and comforted them: "Mom, don't worry, maybe Xiaowu is taking part in the palace examination today, and I am too excited. This child may be like me, and is also impatient. She wants to come out early to see her uncle win the first place."

As soon as these words came out, the tense atmosphere instantly became light.

Jin Bao walked to the bed and sat down, smiling and gently touching her belly, "My sister was born just in time for uncle's palace examination. She is blessed to be like me."

Meihua was amused and laughed out loud while holding back the pain: "Hahaha, I dream of letting this child follow you. If that really happens, I will have to go to the temple and burn a few more incense sticks."

As they were talking, the maids brought hot water.

Zhou started to chase people away: "Okay, all of you, get out quickly and don't make trouble here."

Jinbao walked out the door obediently.

She saw her second uncle squatting at the door without saying a word, and asked curiously: "Second uncle, aren't you worried?"

She remembered that when her third aunt and her younger aunt gave birth to their children, her third uncle and her younger uncle were so anxious that they paced back and forth at the door.

"What's the use of being anxious and worried? It's better to save your energy so that you can have the energy to take care of your second aunt later." Zheng Laoer smiled lightly, seemingly relaxed, but his clenched fists revealed his worry.

Jinbao nodded in agreement and began to assign tasks: "Second Uncle is right, we will wait here peacefully. When Second Aunt gives birth, I will be responsible for holding my sister, and you will be responsible for going in to take care of Second Aunt."

Thinking that she would soon see the soft and sweet little sister, her heart felt sweeter than eating honey.

After hearing what Jinbao said, Zheng Laoer relaxed a little and a look of anticipation appeared on his face.

"Here she comes, the midwife is here!"

Soon, Boss Zheng ran in with two midwives.

These two people looked somewhat familiar. They were the midwives who delivered Zhao Yusheng some time ago.

After the midwife entered the room, Meihua's cries of pain were heard soon after. The sounds became louder and louder. Zheng Laoer turned pale and clenched his fists unconsciously again.

Jinbao had already checked Meihua's pulse and confirmed her physical condition. Although he was not worried, he still stood at the door, closed his eyes and prayed quietly: "Goddess, please bless my second aunt to give birth to my sister safely..."

An hour passed.

"Wa~Wa~" A clear crying sound came from inside the house.

Hearing the child's cry, Zheng Laoer was very excited and stood up suddenly. However, his legs were numb because he had been squatting for too long. He lost his balance and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Zheng Laoda was quick to help him.

"Be careful. You look so useless that your legs are weak now. Don't hold the child later."

As soon as Zheng Laoer stood firm, he was despised by Zheng Laoda.

But he was happy at the moment. Instead of refutation, he laughed out loud, then gave him a big hug to share his joy.

The door opened and Zhou came out holding a wrapped baby.

Jinbao hurriedly squeezed forward and got close to her. Not wanting to scare the child, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I'll hold her. I'll hold my sister."

Seeing her anxious look, Zhou smiled indulgently and gently handed the child to her.

Jinbao has been helping Zhao Yusheng take care of the child during this period, and his skill in holding the baby has become more and more proficient.

At this moment, she steadily took the little ball in the cradle, looked down, and saw the little guy's pink face, curved eyebrows, and rosy little mouth sucking from time to time.

The fair, tender, soft and tender sister, I’ve finally waited for her!

Jinbao's heart melted when he saw this. The corners of his mouth stretched uncontrollably to his ears, and his whole body exuded happiness.

Wan Niang gently took the child from Jin Bao's arms, her eyes full of tenderness and love. "This child is so beautiful, look at how rosy this little face is, it doesn't look like a premature baby at all."

The more she looked at this little appearance, the more it resembled Jinbao when he was a child. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. The corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and the smile reached her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, give me a hug." Zheng Laoer rubbed his hands expectantly, looking at the pink little ball in the cradle with envy in his eyes.

Boss Zheng glared at him and said, "What are you holding? Your legs were weak and you almost fell to the ground. Go in and take care of your sister-in-law. You don't have to worry about here." Then he pushed him into the house.

Zheng Laoer felt very aggrieved, but when he thought of his wife who had just given birth to a child, he walked to the bedside with a distressed look on his face and took care of Meihua attentively.

After Xiaowu finished the palace examination, he returned home happily. He thought everyone would welcome him joyfully, but to his surprise, no one was there. Except for the doorman, even the maids and servants were nowhere to be seen.

He walked towards the backyard with a puzzled look on his face, and then he saw the people standing at the door.

"You are..."

As soon as the words came out, the voice was interrupted by Jinbao, "Shh~ Keep your voice down, your sister is asleep, don't wake her up."

Sister? Where did the sister come from?

This sudden sentence left Xiaowu a little confused.

Seeing this, Zhou smiled and walked forward to explain: "Your second sister-in-law just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. How did you perform in the palace examination today?"

"Isn't my second sister-in-law due in half a month? How come she's giving birth early? Is my second sister-in-law okay?" Xiaowu was a little worried.

"Don't worry, little uncle. Second Aunt is fine. It's my sister who wants to see you become the top scholar, so she came out in a hurry." Speaking of his sister, Jinbao looked proud.

Xiao Wu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then he said with a smile: "The list will be announced in three days, and Jingwen and I will definitely be among the top three."

The Zheng family had a double celebration today. The entire Princess's Mansion was filled with laughter and joy. Everyone was immersed in joy and it was very lively.
