Manbao opened the child's mouth, and after confirming there was nothing dirty inside, she carefully supported the child's head and placed him into the water.
Upon the first contact with water, his little legs instinctively kicked, his eyes tightly shut, and his small fists clenched and moved slightly.
Manbao gave him a simple wash, and immediately servants spread open a swaddle, and together with her, they dried the child with a soft towel and wrapped him up.
Manbao had just wrapped him when she remembered he hadn't cried yet, so she picked him up again and gave his bottom a gentle slap.
The child obviously didn't expect to be spanked, felt a sudden pain, and couldn't help but cry out twice.
Hearing the cry, Manbao was satisfied and tucked him into the swaddle.
The midwife and Junior Ms.Qian also finished tidying up Zhou Lijun. Manbao went over to check, saw she was doing well, and then brought the child to her. "Look, it's a boy."
