Chapter 107: To Be With Child

Every three to five days, Fu Ling would bring Prince Han over to pay respects to her Mistress and also talk about things that happened in Yong Hua Palace. Mistress always listen quietly and occasionally looked at Prince Han but never carried him. Today, Fu Ling once again brought Prince Han over to pay his respects and only spoke less than the time to finish a cup of tea when Fu Ling felt that Qing Feng seemed preoccupied, her hand kept pressing her chest and her facial expression was not good.

Fu Ling worriedly asked, “Mistress, what is the matter?”

“A little uncomfortable.” These few days were like this, especially when she was getting up in the morning, it would be particularly difficult to bear.

Fu Ling placed Yan Han gently on the couch and walked over to Qing Feng’s side and half squatted down, “Let this servant take your pulse.”

“Alright.” Qing Feng put her hand out and Fu Ling placed her fingers on her slender wrist. After a moment, her expression slightly changed and there was some hint of tears when she looked towards Qing Feng, “Mistress… You…”

“What is wrong?” Qing Feng was unable to make heads of it.

Fu Ling smiled, “Congratulations Mistress, you are pregnant and it has already been more than three months.” The Heavens was finally not cruel to Mistress and quickly brought a new hope to her.

“Impossible!” Qing Feng took her hand back in fright and stared at Fu Ling like she had said an unimaginable thing.

Seeing Qing Feng’s reaction, Fu Ling thought for a bit before softly saying, “Let this servant invite the Imperial Physician to take a look.”

“No, don’t go.” Qing Feng quickly step forward and grabbed onto Fu Ling’s hands so that she would not be able to call for anyone.

She was someone who was pregnant before and she felt that there was something wrong with her body but dare not call for an Imperial Physician. Why did it turn out like this? She obviously ate the pill that Yue Sheng left behind after each deed was completed. Thinking back to the day when Yue Sheng gave her the pills, his expression and speech, she could not confirm that Yue Sheng was lying to her. She was pregnant for three months. According to the timeline that she recalled, after that crazy night with Yan Hong Tian after her face was fully healed, she had it.

Qing Feng came to realise the truth. That was not any other medication but a medicine to encourage her pregnancy. How hateful!

“Fu Ling, don’t tell anyone about this matter first.” She did not think about having another child and this child came too suddenly and it made her heart confuse.

The palms that her Mistress was grabbing her were sweating and just as Fu Ling wanted to ask her what was the matter, her sight sweep over Qing Feng’s waist and landed on the warm jade that she was carrying around. Fu Ling somewhat understood Mistress’s panic and gently help her to the bed before whispering back, “Yes. This servant will not say.”

Yan Han who was laying on the bed alone was ignored for too long and was babbling. Fu Ling walked over and carried him in her arms to coax lightly. Yan Han was approaching one year old and kept looking around in Fu Ling’s arms. He was quite family with Qing Feng, since he saw her every few days, and upon seeing her dazed, Yan Han reached out his little arms and touch her face.

At this time Qing Feng was unsettled when suddenly her face turn warm. A fair and soft small hand was on her face and it also naughtily squeezed. Qing Feng felt like she was shocked by lightning and her heart seemed to be seized by that little hand and she was no longer panicking but instead her mind went blank.

In a moment of distraction from Fu Ling and the little fellow in her embrace was up to mischief. Seeing Qing Feng’s stiffen expression, Fu Ling quickly carried this little ancestor further away. Mistress had always not like being near this child and usually was not willing to even carry, now like this… Would she be angry?

Fu Ling nervously watched Qing Feng and only saw that she blanked out for a while and was not as agitated when she recovered to her senses. She only waved her hands to her and said, “Bring him back.”

“Yes.” Fu Ling let out a relief and carried Yan Han out of the room. When Fu Ling was standing outside the room, she was worrying about her Mistress. It was indeed a joyous thing for the child arrival but it was not necessarily a good thing.

“Older sister Fu Ling, from the skies it seemed that it would be raining soon. This servant would get an umbrella for you.”

When Fu Ling recovered to her senses, a palace maid was obediently standing by the side. She previously did not see her before and it was most likely chosen by Ru Yi. Ru Yi’s was done very well, the entire Qing Feng Hall was managed very well and the personnel elected were also very careful and lovable.

Fu Ling looked up to the skies and saw that it was indeed covered with clouds. Seeing that there would likely be a heavy rain, Fu Ling gently nodded and replied, “Alright.”

In a short while, the palace maid carried a large ink black umbrella and handed it over to Fu Ling as she smiled softly, “This umbrella is bigger.”

Fu Ling took it over and handing it to the old mama beside her and left Qing Feng Hall.

The summer rains came down suddenly but fortunately they had an umbrella on hand and reached back to Yong Hua Palace. Fu Ling changed the clothes for the child and handled him over for the mama to carry. Just as she was about to return to her room to change her clothes, she pa.s.sed the corridor and found that the umbrella that was placed by the door was somewhat familiar, like the umbrella that Mistress used to put in the room for a long time.

Fu Ling opened up the umbrella and discovered two small words on the handle before smiling. It must be that the palace maid saw that the umbrella was big and brought it over. Fu Ling picked up a dry cloth to wipe the umbrella dry carefully as she intended to keep it after she dried it and bring it over to Qing Feng Hall when she headed over the next time, after all her Ladys.h.i.+p treated this umbrella preciously that time.

When her hand went over the handle of the umbrella, Fu Ling inadvertently saw two words above it.

“Qi Yu?” Why was this so familiar?
