The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 61 Yunxi is pregnant

For the past few days, Yunxi had been feeling heavy and weak, and even lost her appetite. Initially, she hadn't taken it personally, believing it was simply from worrying about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion.

Early in the morning, sunlight streamed brightly into the room through the window lattice. Yunxi slowly opened her eyes. Today, she felt much sleepier than usual.

Cui'er, her personal maid, hurried over and helped her up. Seeing her face, which was as pale as paper, Cui'er said worriedly, "Miss, you've been so listless these past few days. You don't have any energy at all. How about we ask a doctor to take a look?"

Yunxi frowned slightly, waved her hand gently, and replied weakly: "Cui'er, I guess she just didn't get enough rest. It's nothing serious. She will recover in a few days."

Cui Er pouted and said anxiously, "Miss, that won't do. Your body is precious. What if something happens to it?"

Yunxi sighed and didn't say anything else.

When it was time for lunch, Yunxi sat at the table, staring at the table full of food, her eyes fixed on it, and she had no desire to eat at all.

She forced herself to pick up the chopsticks, but after taking a few bites, she felt her stomach churning and was extremely uncomfortable.

She quickly covered her mouth and couldn't help retching.

Cui'er was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, stamping her feet, not knowing where to put her hands, and muttering to herself. But when it was time for lunch, Yunxi looked at the table full of food but had no appetite. After just a few bites, she felt her stomach churning and started to dry heave, covering her mouth.

Cui Er was so anxious that she kept spinning around: "Miss, this won't work. Let's ask a doctor to take a look."

Yunxi couldn't persuade Cui'er, so she nodded in agreement.

Soon, the doctor came hurriedly, carrying a medicine box on his back. He had gray hair and a thin figure, but his steps were still quite brisk.

As soon as he entered the room, he didn't even bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He hurried to Yunxi's bed, put down the medicine box, and stretched out three fingers to place on Yunxi's wrist.

His expression was very focused, his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were half-closed, and he was muttering to himself.

After a long while, a smile gradually appeared on the doctor's face. He stood up and bowed to Yunxi and congratulated her: "Congratulations, Princess, you are pregnant!"

When Yunxi heard this, she was stunned at first, her eyes wide open, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

Then a blush of surprise appeared on her face, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise: "Really?"

The doctor nodded repeatedly and said with a firm face: "It is absolutely true. The princess is nearly two months pregnant."

When Yunxi heard this, she subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen, her eyes full of tenderness and joy. Her eyes were like a clear spring, revealing endless love.

The news spread quickly throughout the mansion, and people came to congratulate him.

The daughter of the Marquis's family walked in with her maid, twisting her body. She forced a smile on her face, which was uglier than crying. She said with a fake smile, "Congratulations, sister."

Yunxi smiled and responded, "Thank you, sister."

The daughter of the Marquis sat down beside her, but her eyes were a little complicated. She looked at Yunxi's belly for a while, then pouted her lips, her eyes rolling around, and no one knew what she was thinking.

At this time, the wife of the Marquis also arrived. She had a smile on her face, but a closer look revealed that it was a bit stiff. The corners of her mouth were pulled high, but there was no smile in her eyes. She said, "Yunxi, you are pregnant, you must take good care of yourself."

Yunxi said, "Thank you for your concern, Madam."

The wife of the Marquis gave a few more instructions. Her words sounded warm, but her tone was cold.

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left with her maid, her steps hurried as if she didn't want to stay even a moment longer.

Yunxi leaned on the couch, her hand gently placed on her belly, a happy smile on her face, and she was thinking about the arrival of the child in her heart.

She murmured to herself, "My child, you must be safe." As she thought about it, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Cui'er was watching from the side, her face also full of joy. She poured Yunxi a glass of water, then got her a pillow, and was busy having fun.

Other maids and old women were also coming in and out of the house, some were packing things, some were preparing food, all of them had a smile on their face and kept saying auspicious words.

In the evening, the prince came back from outside and heard the good news as soon as he entered the yard. He walked into the house in two steps, his face filled with unconcealable joy.

"Yunxi, I heard that you are pregnant?" The prince asked excitedly, his eyes wide open, and he rushed to Yunxi in two steps.

Yunxi nodded with a smile in her eyes.

The prince sat down next to Yunxi and held her hand tightly, his hands shaking with excitement: "This is so great, I'm going to be a father!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly leaned over, put his ear against Yunxi's belly, and muttered, "Little guy, you better be good."

He looked like a child who had received a treasure.

Yunxi looked at the prince's appearance and couldn't help laughing. She reached out and gently patted the prince's head.

In the days that followed, everyone in the mansion revolved around Yunxi. The fat cook in the kitchen, with beads of sweat on his forehead, was thinking of various ways to prepare nourishing meals.

Every meal was different, from black chicken soup to pigeon porridge. Yunxi's room was also filled with various precious supplements, with ginseng and bird's nest piled up like a small mountain.

Cui'er was extremely careful, her eyes were always on Yunxi, sometimes she would massage Yunxi's legs, sometimes she would rub her shoulders, and she never stopped.

Yunxi would sometimes walk in the garden. Whenever she appeared, the servants would bow respectfully, their eyes full of concern.

Those maids bent their waists so low that their heads almost touched the ground.

One day, Yunxi was sitting in the pavilion in the garden to rest when she suddenly heard a quarrel.

"You are so clumsy, what if you offend the princess?" A fat old woman yelled at a little maidservant in a hoarse voice.

The old woman glared at him and almost poked the little maid's forehead with her finger.

The little maidservant was so frightened that her face turned pale, her body trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Yunxi walked over and asked, "What's going on?"

The old woman saluted quickly, her waist bent like a shrimp, and her face was full of smiles: "Princess, this little maid accidentally knocked over the snacks prepared for you."

Yunxi frowned slightly and said, "Forget it. I'll be more careful next time."

The little maidservant was so grateful that she almost knelt down and said in a tearful voice, "Thank you, Princess."

The days passed one by one, and Yunxi's belly grew bigger and bigger.

Once, Yunxi wanted to eat sour fruit, so the prince personally rode on his horse and ran several blocks to buy it. When he returned to the palace, he was exhausted and out of breath, but his face was full of joy.

Another time, Yunxi was unable to sleep well at night, tossing and turning. Cui'er stayed by her bedside, not closing her eyes all night, fearing that something might happen to Yunxi.

The other ladies in the mansion also came to visit from time to time. Some were genuinely happy, while others were just smiling with a fake smile, and who knows how jealous they were.

Yunxi didn't mind and always entertained people politely.

On this day, Yunxi was basking in the sun in the yard when several old maids came over and chattered about auspicious things.

One said, "The princess' baby is sure to be a boy, who will have great things in the future." Another said, "I think it might be a beautiful girl, as graceful and elegant as the princess."

Yunxi listened and just smiled, feeling warm in her heart.

Yunxi looked at the spring scenery in the garden, her heart filled with happiness. She knew that the arrival of this child would bring more joy and hope to the Marquis's Mansion.
