Chapter 318 Pregnant with a Pair of Boys

With no worries in her mind, Qin Xiaoning slept soundly. When she opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside.

Songzhi heard the noise and came in to serve. He said, "The prince went out early in the morning." He sighed, "He is the regent now, so he is really busy."

Qin Xiaoning was combing her hair in front of a diamond-shaped mirror. Upon hearing this, she snorted calmly, "Of course he is busy. On the one hand, he is busy with government affairs. On the other hand, he is going to get married."

As she spoke, she placed the sheep-horn comb on the dressing table with a click: "The one he is going to marry is the daughter of the Wang family of Langya, who can become the queen. Now he is the regent, and he must be very happy to marry such a noble lady."

Qin Xiaoning was talking here and didn't hear any movement from Songzhi for a long time. She turned around and saw the little maid staring at her.

His eyes look quite strange.

Seeing Qin Xiaoning looking over, Song Zhi spoke up: "A Ning, do you feel that you have changed a lot recently?"

Qin Xiaoning was puzzled: "I have changed? What has changed?"

Songzhi sighed: "Since the second day since the prince came to Shuwang, you have changed, especially your attitude towards the prince. You are not in a good mood, and your words are either sour or full of gunpowder."

Then the little maid asked in confusion, "When the prince first came to Shuwang, I saw you still acting like a spoiled child to him. Why did you suddenly change?"

At the beginning, she thought Lu Ji would take her back and make her his legal wife, but unexpectedly he had no such intention at all. How could she be happy?

How can I give him a good face?

Qin Xiaoning sneered: "Who made him change his mind?"

As she spoke, she picked up the sheep-horn comb and continued to comb her hair, saying to herself, "Since he has changed his mind, why should I be nice to him?"

"I think the prince still has you in his heart, but you cruelly abandoned her back then, how could the prince not feel resentful?" Song Zhi walked up to Qin Xiaoning and advised in a gentle voice: "You have always been the best at controlling the prince's heart, why don't you beg him to break up with Wang Fengyi."

"How can I beg?" Qin Xiaoning paused and said with a wooden face: "If he has me in his heart, he will definitely give me the best. If he doesn't have me, then with his cold and hard personality, it will be useless for me to beg."

Seeing Songzhi was about to say something, Qin Xiaoning interrupted him impatiently, "Don't try to persuade me. It's not like I haven't tried to be nice to him before. When he first came to Shuwang, I did everything to please him. I admitted my mistakes, apologized, and coaxed him humbly. I did everything I should have done, but in the end, he still played dumb and didn't even mention making me his wife."

Qin Xiaoning got angry when this was mentioned.

She threw the sheep-horn comb onto the dressing table with a "pop" sound. "This Lu Ji must be thinking of having a rich wife and beautiful concubines, enjoying the happiness of having two wives. It's really infuriating, so infuriating."

Qin Xiaoning was just getting angry here when the little maid Hong'er came in and reported that the housekeeper had brought a doctor to take Qin Xiaoning's pulse.

The child is the oldest.

Qin Xiaoning immediately calmed down after hearing this and said hurriedly, "Please invite the doctor in."

When Shu Wang was in power, she would go to Jiang Nu to check her pulse every ten days. Today was exactly the tenth day since the last time she checked her pulse.

After a while, the butler brought the doctor into the hall. The doctor was an old man with a white beard. The butler said, "Madam, this is the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, Doctor Pang. He is here to diagnose your pulse on the orders of the prince."

Qin Xiaoning was quite relieved that Lu Ji cared about the child.

"Thank you, Doctor Pang." Qin Xiaoning put on a smile.

The white-bearded old man exchanged a few words of greeting, then took out a pulse pillow and began to carefully take Qin Xiaoning's pulse.

The imperial physician's eyes gradually showed surprise: "Madam is pregnant with twins?"

The last time she took her pulse, the baby in her belly was less than three months old. Although Ms. Jiang diagnosed twins, she was not sure.

Qin Xiaoning hurriedly asked, "Doctor Pang, can you confirm that it is twins?" The old man smiled and said, "Madam's pulse is very obvious. I am sure it is twins."

He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Look at the pulse, it looks like two male fetuses."

It really is twins, and they are two boys.

Qin Xiaoning was very happy.

After all, Lu Ji had promised to pass the title to her child. If it was a girl, there would be no way for her to inherit it.

Qin Xiaoning winked at Song Zhi, and the maid brought a heavy purse to the doctor, but Doctor Pang refused: "Madam, you don't have to be polite. I was entrusted by the prince to take good care of you and your unborn child."

Just after the imperial physician had left, several old friends came to see Qin Xiaoning.

One is Li Lanchun, with the fifth and sixth girls.

After receiving the report, Qin Xiaoning hurried out of the hall. As soon as she walked out of the hall door, she saw several people walking towards this side.

"Sister Qin——"

Seeing Qin Xiaoning, the Sixth Miss ran over with her skirt in hand and took Qin Xiaoning's arm: "Sister Qin, you are finally back."

"Oh my, Ning, you really scared all of us."

As they were talking, Li Lanchun and the Fifth Miss also came to Qin Xiaoning. Qin Xiaoning was about to greet Li Lanchun, but was stopped by her: "No, no, we just happened to run into Doctor Pang when we came in. I heard that you are pregnant."

"Or twins?"

"A pair of boys?"

Li Lanchun pulled Qin Xiaoning and stared at her belly with envy in her eyes: "Oh my, Ning is really capable. Oh my, look at her, it's so enviable."

Li Lanchun has been married into the mansion for more than ten years. She has only two sisters. The third grandmother, Xia Yun, from the second room has not been able to conceive since she had a miscarriage a few years ago.

The next generation of the mansion does not have a single male child.

Qin Xiaoning became pregnant with two babies at once.

Isn't it really enviable?

"Go inside quickly." Li Lanchun carefully supported Qin Xiaoning: "You are a gold nugget now, very valuable."

The group entered the hall and chatted for a while. Qin Xiaoning asked, "Is everything okay at home?"

"All right." Li Lanchun said, "Everyone is fine. It's just that my second brother has been quite depressed since you left. But now he's fine. Now that you're back, my second brother has untied his knot. Everything is fine now."

As she said this, she clapped her hands with laughter: "You are pregnant again, my second brother must be so happy that he doesn't know what to do."

She was pregnant with Lu Ji's child, and Lu Ji also promised to give the child a noble status, but the Lu family had strict family traditions, and Qin Xiaoning couldn't help feeling a little worried.

After all, she was just a concubine.

Lu Ji's wife is about to marry him, and his concubine is pregnant with his eldest son. How will the elders of the Lu family look upon her and the child?

"How is the Duke's wife doing lately?" Qin Xiaoning asked Li Lanchun carefully.
