The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 62 The Prince is Delighted

That day, the prince returned from the court, his face showing a trace of fatigue, and his steps were somewhat heavy. As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Marquis's mansion, the butler rushed to greet him like a gust of wind.

"Your Highness, great news!" The butler grinned, his eyes almost invisible with only two slits left.

The prince frowned and asked in confusion, "What's the good news? Tell me!"

The housekeeper hurried to the prince's side, his voice rising a few notches: "Prince, the princess is pregnant, this is a great joy!"

When the prince heard this, he froze in place like a wooden stake. Then, his eyes lit up like stars, and his tiredness disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He didn't care about etiquette, picked up his robe, and ran towards Yunxi's yard.

The prince's heart was beating like a drum, "boom, boom, boom." He kept repeating, "I'm going to be a father, I'm going to be a father!"

Those two legs moved like windmills, creating a whirring breeze.

The maids and servants passing by were all dumbfounded. No one had ever seen the prince so anxious and hurried.

A servant was about to pay his respects when the prince ran away.

The prince was panting as he ran, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead. When he finally reached the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped, his chest heaving violently, and he was gasping for breath.

He wiped the sweat off his face, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his heart that was about to jump out of his chest.

When he arrived at the gate of the yard, the prince took a deep breath, tried to calm his excitement, and then slowly walked in.

Inside, Yunxi was reclining on the couch, a medical book in hand. Her pale blue dress accentuated her gentle demeanor, her features radiating a tranquility and peace. Her dark hair was loosely tied back.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up and saw the prince coming in. A gentle smile appeared on her face. That smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, which made people feel warm in their hearts.

The prince walked quickly to the bed, his eyes wide open, his heart and eyes filled with Yunxi. He grabbed Yunxi's hand with such force that it seemed as if he was going to crush it, his voice trembling: "Yunxi, I heard..."

Yunxi nodded gently, her eyes full of tenderness and affection: "Yes, Your Majesty, we have a child."

When the prince heard this, his mouth widened so much that it almost reached his ears. He was so happy that he couldn't help but dance like a child.

He jumped up and down, waved his arms, and kept shouting, "Hahahaha, I'm going to be a father, I'm going to be a father!"

The excitement was like winning the jackpot.

Yunxi glanced at him angrily, frowning slightly: "Your Highness, you have lost your composure when you look like this."

The prince didn't care. His neck stiffened and his eyes widened. "How can I be so steady in front of you?"

After saying that, he sat down next to Yunxi, and his action was so rough that he almost broke the couch.

He carefully placed his hand on Yunxi's lower abdomen, leaned his head closer, and tilted his ear, as if feeling something.

"Yunxi, you've worked hard." The prince looked at Yunxi affectionately, his eyes full of pity.

Yunxi smiled and shook her head, reaching out to gently smooth the hair by her ear: "It is my blessing to be able to bear a child for the prince."

At this moment, the maid Cui'er came in with a plate of fruit. Cui'er was wearing a green dress, with two small braids and a rosy face.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw the prince so happy that she couldn't help laughing. Her laughter was as clear as a bell.

"Your Highness, you look so happy. From now on, you have to take good care of the princess." Cui'er said.

The prince stood up straight and waved his hand: "Of course, from now on, Yunxi will be the most powerful in this mansion.

Whoever dares to let her suffer any injustice, I will not forgive him!"

Yunxi gently tugged at the prince's sleeve: "Prince, don't say that. Everyone in the mansion treats me very well."

The prince snorted, "That won't do. I cherish you and your mother."

As he spoke, the prince turned to look at Cui'er and said, "Cui'er, from today on, you must take good care of the princess's diet and daily life. If there is any mistake, I will hold you responsible!"

Cui Er nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to serve you, Princess."

The prince turned around again and held Yunxi's hand: "Yunxi, whatever you want to eat or use, just tell me."

Yunxi pursed her lips and smiled: "Your Majesty, I'm not that delicate."

The prince frowned and said, "How can this be possible? You are not alone now, you can't be careless."

Yunxi shook her head helplessly: "Okay, I'll listen to you, Your Majesty."

The prince nodded in satisfaction and gently touched Yunxi's belly twice: "Little guy, you better be good and don't bother your mother."

Yunxi looked at the prince like this and felt sweet in her heart.

The prince stood up and paced back and forth in the room, muttering to himself, "I must quickly have someone prepare some nourishing food and clothes for the children..."

Yunxi smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's still early."

The prince said seriously: "Not too early, not too early, we must prepare in advance."

As he said this, the prince strode out quickly, his steps hurried as if there was something important waiting for him to do.

The prince nodded repeatedly, "Of course. From now on, everyone in this mansion must prioritize the princess and the child."

As they were talking, several concubines from the Marquis's residence came over with gifts to congratulate them. They twisted their waists and smiled, their smiles looking festive, but their eyes revealed a bit of complexity.

"Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness." Several concubines said in unison, each voice louder than the last, for fear of being left behind.

The prince smiled and asked them to sit down, but his eyes never left Yunxi. After the concubines sat down, they were not idle either. One of them, seeing the prince's expression, said, "This child will be extremely intelligent in the future, as brave as the prince."

Having said that, she did not forget to secretly glance at the prince.

Another concubine quickly chimed in, "Yes, this is a great joy for the Marquis's family. Looking at the princess's belly, it's definitely a boy, who will bring honor to the Marquis's family in the future!"

The prince smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words." But he knew in his heart that these concubines were just saying nice things.

Yunxi looked at the lively scene, her heart filled with warmth. She had a faint smile on her face, a smile that was not ostentatious, but made people feel comfortable.

When it was time to eat, the prince personally served the dishes to Yunxi, and asked Yunxi if she wanted to eat each dish before serving it.

"Yunxi, drink more of this chicken soup to nourish your body." The prince said as he filled a bowl of chicken soup for Yunxi. He was very careful not to spill even a drop.

Yunxi took it with a smile: "Prince, you eat too."

After dinner, the prince took Yunxi for a walk in the courtyard. The prince walked in front, taking steps that were neither too big nor too small, just enough for Yunxi to keep up.

"Yunxi, from today on, you can't tire yourself out. I'll take care of everything." The prince said, turning his head to look at Yunxi, his eyes full of concern.

Yunxi nodded: "Okay."

As they walked, the prince suddenly stopped and said solemnly, "Yunxi, I will definitely protect you and your son."

As he spoke, he held Yunxi's hand tightly. His grip was so strong that it seemed as if he wanted to hold Yunxi's hand into his bones.

Yunxi looked at the prince's determined eyes, her heart was filled with emotion, and her eyes were slightly red.

As night fell, the prince sat in his study, holding a military book in his hand, but he couldn't concentrate on reading.

His mind was entirely on Yunxi and the child, his brows tightly furrowed.

"Your Highness, it's time to rest." The servant reminded.

The prince waved his hand and said, "You go down first."

The servant didn't dare to say anything more and retreated quietly.

The prince stood up and walked to the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and secretly vowed in his heart: I must give Yunxi and the child a stable and happy future.
