[Dad is here to see me]
[And he brought me a gift for my birth. Woo~ Even though the tyrant father can be harsh, he's soft-hearted.]
Ah Bao craned her neck and peered eagerly from her swaddling, catching sight of a dazzling figure approaching.
As soon as the tyrant stepped into Yihe Palace, he heard Ah Bao's voice.
A faint, barely perceptible smile appeared on the cold and stern face of the tyrant.
"I thought Ah Bao would know that I was coming to see her. Is she awake now?"
Concubine De greeted him and quickly approached, "Your Majesty, you arrived just in time; Ah Bao has just woken up."
Newborns in the confinement period sleep a lot.
The tyrant held Ah Bao in his arms, rocking her gently. The sight of her bright eyes and lively expression only made him find her more endearing.
"I just realized that I hadn't given Ah Bao a gift yet since her birth. So I prepared something for her." The tyrant instructed to bring in the box.
Ah Bao's little hands reached out eagerly.
[This is the first time I've ever received a gift in this life and the last one!]
[Hurry and let me see what it is.]
The moment the lid of the box was opened, Ah Bao saw a large gleam of gold.
Wow!
A golden basin!
It was an enormous, gigantic golden basin!
After spending hundreds of years in the underworld without seeing a single gold brick, seeing this basin, which was many times larger than a bowl, filled Ah Bao's eyes with sparkling gold.
[What does it mean to be extravagantly unreasonable! Look at my tyrant father!]
[Even though gold is a bit tacky, I actually like this tackiness.]
[How did I not notice how handsome my tyrant father is before, glowing with brilliance!]
Although dealing with state affairs had been exhausting for the tyrant recently, seeing little Ah Bao so happy completely cleared the gloom from his heart.
"Ah Bao's drooling all over, so she must like the gift," the tyrant said with a chuckle.
[Salivating over gold isn't anything special; if I could walk, I'd bite into it myself.]
[There's no way around it. I've never seen gold in the underworld. What girl wouldn't like glittering things?]
The tyrant: ...
Was Ah Bao perhaps a wandering soul before her rebirth?
Folktale narrators often said that a soul could be reincarnated quickly if it had relatives performing rites for it. Wandering souls had to wait in line.
How pitiful.
How long had Ah Bao waited to find them?
The tyrant felt even more affection for Ah Bao.
He placed Ah Bao into the golden basin.
Ah Bao was still in the confinement period, just two days old, weighing a little over six pounds.
The golden basin was large enough to compare with a modern washbasin, easily accommodating Ah Bao.
The tyrant said, "This really is a genuine treasure basin."
