Chapter 288 Happy Pulse
Chapter 288 Happy Pulse
When Xiao Zhixue heard the words "Old Mrs. Yu", she couldn't help but chuckle, thinking to herself that this old lady of the Duke might indeed be a difficult person, and maybe she has some subtle conflicts with Doctor Wang.
Han Yuexi stopped joking and said earnestly, "Since this is the case, since Imperial Doctor Wang rarely comes, why don't you check the princess' pulse to make sure she is fine?"
As he spoke, he gave Doctor Wang a meaningful look.
Although Doctor Wang did not understand the intention, he went along with it and said with a smile: "Since the princess invites me, I am naturally happy to serve you."
Xiao Zhixue did not notice the subtle exchange between the two and agreed casually: "Then I'll trouble Doctor Wang."
During another long pulse-taking process, Xiao Zhixue muttered to herself, she was clearly in good health, so why did this routine check-up have to be taken so seriously?
After finally finishing, she was asked to use the other hand to continue. Xiao Zhixue had no choice but to stretch out her other hand, feeling a little impatient.
After taking the pulse for the second time, Doctor Wang was silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly, with a bit of surprise in his tone: "The pulse of the princess shows that it is a pregnancy pulse, and it has been about a month. Because it has not been long, it is not easy to detect at first, but I can conclude that it is indeed a pregnancy pulse without a doubt."
When Han Yuexi heard this, she stood up from her chair excitedly, her eyes sparkling with joy: "Oh, this is really great news! Thanks to Doctor Wang!"
Xiao Zhixue was stunned. She was pregnant? She had no idea?
When she came to her senses, Doctor Wang had already packed up and was ready to leave. Only Han Yuexi was left in the room, leisurely enjoying the exquisite snacks at the stone table.
"Have you come to your senses? Look at your expression. It's just a pregnancy. Why make such a fuss?"
Han Yuexi looked at Xiao Zhixue with a hint of teasing in her eyes.
Han Yuexi has a straightforward personality. She didn't get angry when she talked about the past. Instead, she laughed and said, "Well said. When I found out I was pregnant, my reaction was much more intense than yours now."
Xiao Zhixue ordered her maid Siqin: "Siqin, go get the four treasures of the study and ask the Crown Prince's wife to write down everything she needs to pay attention to during pregnancy."
Han Yuexi quickly replied: "Oh, I almost forgot, I have a list here, you can use it first."
Xiao Zhixue took the detailed and thoughtful list and asked in confusion: "When did you write these?"
Han Yuexi rolled her eyes helplessly: "Seeing how absent-minded you were just now, this list is what I listed as precautions during pregnancy after Doctor Wang diagnosed the condition."
Xiao Zhixue read it carefully, then handed it to the maid Wangyue beside her, and reminded her: "Keep it well, and everyone in the mansion must study it carefully."
Wang Yue replied respectfully: "Don't worry, my lady. We will obey your orders and study them carefully."
The afterglow of the setting sun is like an orange-red ribbon, gently brushing across the sky of the capital. The hustle and bustle of the city begins to gradually fade away, and a hint of evening coolness permeates the room.
Xiao Zhixue and Han Yuexi returned to their respective residences. Fan Yanmu had not returned yet. Xiao Zhixue felt a little lonely, and her eagerness to share this joy could not be concealed.
At the same time, the news of Xiao Zhixue's pregnancy quietly blew into Anyang Marquis' Mansion like a spring breeze.
When Xiao Wang heard this, he was surprised, his eyes were full of joy, and he stood there in a daze for a moment.
Upon hearing the news, Fan Mingrui immediately ordered Madam Hu to prepare nutritional supplements and send them to Prince An's Mansion.
As Princess An temporarily left the palace, Xiao Zhixue was the only one left at home. Fan Mingrui was worried and decided to go and take care of her in person that night.
Considering that the pregnancy period is less than three months, Fan Mingrui decided to keep it secret for the time being and announce it to the public after a three-month stable period to avoid conflicting marriage.
At the beginning of the Xu hour, Fan Mingrui arrived at Prince An's Mansion.
When Xiao Zhixue heard that her mother had arrived, she was surprised. She came to visit at this time. Could it be that something happened to her father or her younger brother Zhen'er?
As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Xiao Zhixue did not dare to delay and hurried to the front yard to greet him.
Just as they arrived in front of the Chuihua Gate, they saw Fan Mingrui coming in, his face covered in dust, followed by a group of maids and servants, each holding a food box, looking solemn and anxious.
Xiao Zhixue's doubts grew even stronger. She quickened her pace and asked, "Mom, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Seeing his daughter rushing over anxiously, Fan Mingrui quickly shouted, "Hey, Xue'er, don't run around. Be careful."
When Xiao Zhixue heard this, she immediately stopped and waited quietly for her mother to arrive.
Fan Mingrui came closer and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "You are already pregnant, why are you still so clumsy? Don't you look like a pregnant woman?"
Xiao Zhixue nodded repeatedly, not daring to refute.
After Fan Mingrui finished scolding her, Xiao Zhixue suddenly realized: "Mom, how did you know I was pregnant? I didn't let anyone know."
Fan Mingrui smiled and said, "He Xiang told me. She informed me as soon as she knew about it."
Xiao Zhixue was relieved: "So that's how it is. I thought something big happened at home and that's why you rushed here in such a hurry."
Fan Mingrui tapped Xiao Zhixue's forehead, his tone gentle but with a hint of reproach: "Why, your pregnancy is not a big deal? It's too late tonight, your father and Zhen'er will come to see you tomorrow, don't tell the palace yet, wait until three months have passed."
The mother and daughter talked all the way and walked into the glass courtyard.
Fan Mingrui carefully reminded everyone of the various precautions during pregnancy, and asked He Xiang and others to take detailed notes and remind them on time every month.
It was not until late at night that Fan Yanmu returned, and Fan Mingrui returned to his mansion with peace of mind.
Fan Yanmu had never thought that a few days ago he was discussing with Xiao Zhixue when to have a child, and in the blink of an eye, his dream had become a reality.
Fan Yanmu, who had originally planned to return home and try harder, was filled with regret and resentment.
After dinner, Fan Yanmu lay on the bed, hugged Xiao Zhixue, and whispered softly: "I wonder if it's a son or a daughter?"
Xiao Zhixue's words were full of joking and caution: "Do you still have the old-fashioned idea of favoring boys over girls?"
Fan Yanmu quickly clarified, his eyes sincere: "How dare I, how dare I, wife, you know, no matter it's a boy or a girl, they are our babies, I can't let them go."
Xiao Zhixue snorted twice, her voice mixed with a bit of pride and coquettishness: "It's a good thing that you have self-awareness and don't get complacent. Otherwise, at this moment, you would have been punished to stand in the yard, reflecting deeply on your actions in front of the spring scenery in the garden."
There was a sly gleam in her eyes, clearly warning the other person.
Fan Yanmu raised his lips in a bitter smile, but secretly complained in his heart: "Hey, my dear wife, violence is not the way to solve the problem. This is not good for our little baby."
This thought is like a breeze blowing across the water, rippling gently in the sea of heart, but not daring to let it float to the surface.
He could only shake his head helplessly and sighed self-deprecatingly: "Ah, who made me marry a wife with outstanding martial arts skills? I am not as skilled as her. It seems that I need to improve my ability to be patient."
Just as Xiao Zhixue turned over, her fingertips accidentally touched a sensitive spot on Fan Yanmu's body, as if she had found a bargaining chip. A cunning light flashed in her eyes, and she said casually: "So, how do you plan to spend your time in the future? Don't tell me that you want to go out and look for prostitutes, I absolutely cannot tolerate that."
