Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Yet Yan Shuang'er, standing beside her, had flushed red with shame at this moment, head lowered, unable to utter a single word. Just as the two were conversing, a maid hurried in. Guo Lanxin fixed her gaze and discovered this woman was actually from Yan Xiner's courtyard.

This maid stepped forward quickly, bowed to everyone, and said: "Reporting to Madam, the Young Mistress has already woken up, and is currently washing up; she will come over here shortly." Guo Lanxin heard this and nodded, then immediately asked: "Then what about Chun'er? Why didn't Chun'er come first?"

The maid hurriedly bowed and replied: "Reporting to the Wangfei and the various Young Misses and Young Masters, the Young Mistress is now six months pregnant, her body has grown even heavier. The Eldest Young Master worries that us servants might not attend to her thoroughly or wholeheartedly, and truly cannot set his mind at ease, so he insists on personally watching over her."

The Eldest Young Master also specially instructed this servant to apologize to the Wangfei and all of you, saying that if there is any shortcoming in the hospitality, please be forgiving. Once he finishes handling the matters at hand, he will come immediately to apologize."

The Wangfei heard this and waved her hands repeatedly with a smile: "Oh my, where is any slight or not slight? You go back quickly and tell Chun'er not to be so anxious, just take your time tidying up properly before coming."

Originally, the Wangfei had planned to go visit personally, but the physician had previously said that although the Young Mistress's body was heavy, moderate activity would be of great benefit for the future delivery. So Guo Lanxin stopped the Wangfei, only letting Yan Xiner stroll over on her own.

That maid received the word, assented, then turned and hurried away to report the news. On this side, Guo Lanxin, face full of smiles, took the Wangfei's hand and said warmly and enthusiastically: "For today's noon meal, how about you and everyone dine here?"

The Wangfei hesitated slightly, declining politely: "Many thanks for Lanxin meimei's kind intention, but our party is large this time, I fear we would be too much of a bother." Guo Lanxin chided: "Look at what Elder Sister is saying, between us sisters why stand on such ceremony? We're all family, where does any bother come from? Besides, if Xiner sees you all here, she'll surely be delighted, and might even eat several more bowls of rice!"

The Wangfei felt Guo Lanxin's words were very reasonable, so she no longer declined. Seeing this, Guo Lanxin hurriedly called a maid at her side and instructed softly: "Go tell the kitchen to make more dishes for today's noon." Then she turned with a smile and asked Qianqian, Yan Shuang'er, and Yan Jie what dishes they each liked.

Qianqian and Yan Jie had not the slightest bashfulness, answering generously that they liked chicken legs and spare ribs best. Especially cute was that Qianqian specially emphasized the spare ribs must be sweet-and-sour flavored. Guo Lanxin couldn't help laughing aloud, agreed readily, and hurriedly turned to order the servants to prepare these dishes carefully.

At this moment, the Wangfei glanced at Guo Lanxin with a touch of reproach, teasing: "Look at her, she truly doesn't treat you as an outsider at all! And look at you, you really spoil her to the heavens!" Guo Lanxin replied unconcernedly: "If Xiner were here right now, never mind mere chicken legs and spare ribs, even if Qianqian wanted the stars in the sky, Xiner would probably think of every way to pluck them down for her! Naturally she must be indulged properly; as long as Qianqian is happy, Xiner will be happy too!"

Hearing these words, the Wangfei gazed at Guo Lanxin's such deep care for Yan Xiner, and her heart felt truly much relieved.

Before long, everyone's gaze was drawn to a radiant figure. They saw a man in a white long robe — Ai Chun — carefully supporting a Yan Xiner in a yellow skirt, walking over with dignified grace. Her hair was combed perfectly smooth, not a strand out of place, and her face, without a trace of makeup, appeared even more clear, beautiful, and transcendent.

They saw Yan Xiner's abdomen bulging high, her movements slightly slow, but her face brimming with a happy radiance. Although Yan Xiner was already pregnant and had grown much fatter, basically only her abdomen was prominently bulging; her face compared to before had merely added a touch more flesh. Even so, her outstanding beauty still could not be concealed.

Just as Yan Xiner stepped through the door, she called out joyfully in a loud voice: "Mother~ Shuang'er, Qianqian, Jie'er!" Hearing this call, Qianqian and Yan Jie instantly jumped up in excitement and shouted in unison: "Big Sister!" Immediately after, the two impatiently sprinted toward Yan Xiner.

Qianqian, having run up close, curiously extended a finger and lightly poked Yan Xiner's round bulging belly, feeling it somewhat hard, and blinked her big eyes asking: "Big Sister, is Qianqian's little nephew inside here?" Yan Xiner smiled and replied: "That's right, Qianqian will soon become a little aunt!"

Yan Shuang'er at the side saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, first calling: "Big Sister." Then she turned to Ai Chun and said: "Big Brother-in-law." Finishing, she carefully took Yan Xiner's other arm and said concernedly: "Big Sister, quickly sit and rest a while, let's chat properly. After all, with your body so heavy now, standing like this all the time is too tiring."

At this time, Ai Chun saw Yan Shuang'er come to support Yan Xiner, so he reassuringly entrusted Yan Xiner to her. Immediately after, he hurriedly shouted loudly toward the room: "Mother, Yue Mu, truly sorry, I'm late, please forgive me!" The Wangfei hurriedly said: "It's nothing, seeing you care for Xiner so properly, where is any offense?" Ai Chun grinned a hehe laugh, then sat openly beside Yan Xiner.

The Wangfei gazed at Yan Xiner's round bulging belly and said smilingly: "This belly is so round, in my view, eight or nine out of ten it's a baby girl." Guo Lanxin at the side nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Exactly, a daughter is good, I've been longing to hold a cute little granddaughter!" Ai Chun also chimed in: "Yes yes, both of us are hoping for a caring little padded jacket."

At this moment, Yan Xiner lightly stroked her high bulging abdomen and complained helplessly: "Boy or girl, whatever, just want this little brat to come out quick. Day after day it's truly tossing me to death; sometimes deep in the night sleeping soundly, suddenly get kicked hard by him (her), not honest at all!"

The Wangfei asked concernedly: "Then did the physician say roughly when the delivery will be?" Ai Chun hurriedly replied: "At most seven or eight days' matter."

Guo Lanxin immediately added: "The midwife has long been found, and the Old Master even specially went to petition the Emperor, requesting an decree that on the day Xiner gives birth, imperial physicians skilled in obstetrics be dispatched to assist."

"Furthermore, the physician said during the previous examination that although this child's build is slightly small, the fetal position is very correct, there won't be any risk, so we can all rest assured." The Wangfei heard this and a relieved smile appeared on her face, she said "That's good" twice, the joy and relaxation in her tone plain to see.
