After nine months of pregnancy, the baby in Zhi Ning's belly was finally ready to be born.
Her belly was both big and pointed, and those who saw it said it was a boy.
This made Zhi Ning both excited and disappointed. The Zhi Clan, especially her father Zhi Lan's lineage, was incredibly thin. Now that another male was being added, it bolstered their spirits a little.
However, because of the boy's special status, he was destined not to participate in politics. That's why she had always wanted to give birth to a daughter, who could devote herself to the study of the arts.
Her belly was really big, but she still insisted on walking every day, just to keep the child and herself healthy.
Strangely enough, Zhi Ning's body, which had been rather frail, became healthier after she made an effort to eat well and exercise instead of lying on the couch and reading for half a day as she had before. In fact, another word to describe her condition was that she'd become strong.
