Chapter 190: Couple's Heart-to-Heart

~8 min read 1,416 words

Liu Dafu was utterly speechless. After coming out, he first softly explained to the two consorts: Sui Sui's pulse is steady; likely she smelled something unpleasant and had an abnormal reaction, which is quite normal. She has already taken something and gone to sleep; the Princess Consort is inside comforting her.

Hearing this, Ren Ce Fei and Meng Ce Fei both breathed a sigh of relief to varying degrees.

Meng Ce Fei, worried about the child, asked softly: "She hasn't eaten yet, and she's already asleep—won't she feel uncomfortable?"

Liu Dafu shook his head: "Young children never lie; if they're hungry, they'll get up to eat."

After hearing this, Meng Ce Fei felt much more relieved.

After hearing this, Ren Ce Fei also felt relieved, and soon she asked puzzledly: "What did Sui Sui smell? When she played with earthworms before, she never said it smelled bad, and she certainly didn't vomit directly from stimulation."

After asking, Ren Ce Fei still looked suspiciously at Prince Qi.

So he quickly gestured to Sui Si: "Put it on."

Princess Consort of Qi did not hide anything either, and said softly: "Let's talk about Sui Sui's matter."

Princess Consort of Qi didn't care whether this was reasonable or legal.

Upon hearing this, he relaxed considerably, a smile of deep ease and joy appearing on his face that he himself hadn't noticed: "That child, I feel light holding her; at a glance I can tell she's pitiful."

How pitiful she is!

Prince Qi puzzled, asked softly: "...... What's going on?"

When others don't speak, he doesn't think much.

Seeing the sachet, Prince Qi hesitated for a moment; after reacting, he felt his sincerity lacking.

Then seeing the Princess Consort about to cry, he panicked instantly: "Ah, ah, ah, don't cry, I agree, I agree, and I also like this child—those eyes, heh heh, clearly my child at first glance!"

Prince Qi exploded: "I'm not, I didn't!"

Fortunately Sui Sui is still young; slowly teaching should be fine, right?

Actually, Princess Consort of Qi also had no confidence in her heart, but she pitied the child and could not bear to give her up.

The two came to the main courtyard, dismissed most of the servants, leaving only trusted confidants nearby.

Anyway, her child—no one can take her away.

Prince Qi couldn't help but stand by the bed and stare for a long time.

Thinking of Sui Sui, he couldn't help worrying about her earlier vomiting that turned her face pale; Princess Consort of Qi anxiously asked again: "When you returned, did you really not mess around in the carriage?"

Especially after Sui Sui gained some flesh, those eyes on her face became even more noticeable.

At this moment, the couple approached, leaving only Aunt Qiu attending; Princess Consort of Qi sent away her close attendants Haitang and Shaoyao, and Sui Si stood guard at the door beside Prince Qi.

But if it were Prince Qi, she thought, if interests and the child were placed on equal footing and he had to choose, Princess Consort of Qi had no confidence that the Prince would certainly choose the child.

After Prince Qi went around in circles, when he returned to look at Sui Sui, the little girl was already sleeping soundly.

Seeing the Prince's behavior like that, one knows he truly had none.

Prince Qi also likes Sui Sui this child, naturally unwilling for her to suffer returning to the Jin Yang Hou residence.

Thinking of these, Princess Consort of Qi said with a voice tinged with sobs: "First, not discussing how Sui Sui saved Little Six twice, just saying I like this child, I will not allow her to be taken by anyone—no one can, whoever comes I will fight to the death, you too cannot!"

The tone sounded aggrieved.

Princess Consort of Qi saying this certainly means she has something private to say to him.

Originally it was about that child; Prince Qi, because of the commotion inside the room, was still somewhat nervous.

Whoever takes her, I will fight to the death!

Earlier, the Dowager Grand Princess's residence's Yanshi had mentioned it, and the natal family also spoke of it; now the Prince also mentioned those round, gleaming eyes.

So she also could not help but speak.

She thought, women and men are ultimately different.

But deep down she still knew clearly whether he had any illegitimate children outside.

She thought, let's wait and see the situation.

After all, in Princess Consort of Qi's view, they are not anything good.

Prince Qi:?

Oh great heavenly lord!

Prince Qi almost knelt down to swear: "I really didn't! I I I I..."

If the Prince truly loved this child, if he could really for the child give up the huge benefit at hand.

No one can guarantee this; in the end the three could only act separately.

After the incense had been burned for about the time of one incense stick, Prince Qi rose, and while tidying his clothes, his attendant Sui Si held a sachet and asked softly: "Prince, should this sachet be worn on the person?"

After all, the same thing, in Jing Cheng this place of fame and profit, Princess Consort of Qi has seen too much.

Thus, even though she likes Sui Sui, she inevitably hopes in her heart to have a biological child, one connected by blood.

After hearing this, Meng Ce Fei nodded, but the doubt in her heart remained unresolved: "What is that smell?"

Upon hearing this, the Prince flew into a rage and smashed two cups: "Damn thing!!!"

Not of the same family, not entering the same door.

The sachet was obtained by Car Maid, who said it was prayed for many sons and blessings, to be worn daily to show sincerity.

Finally, Princess Consort of Qi pulled his sleeve to remind: "Alright, the child is sleeping well; we can look again later."

Regarding the possibility that Sui Sui is a Lucky Star, Princess Consort of Qi hesitated a moment, then temporarily suppressed it and did not tell the Prince.

Not only that, after bathing he specially incensed for most of the day, trying to make himself soaked in scent so that no odd smell remained, and he also furtively incensed the same fragrance the Princess Consort usually used.

From this it could be heard that he truly had none.

Princess Consort of Qi thought, let alone, those eyes really do look more and more like his the more they are spoken of.

The sachet is a pair, one for him, one for Car Maid.

Calling her "Mother Consort" makes it only right that she is his child.

Meng Ce Fei bluntly asked: "When you returned, did you make a child in the carriage?"

The scent was slightly different, but to Prince Qi it felt much the same.

Although Prince Qi was reluctant, he eventually went along and walked out.

The Princess Consort of Qi had lived half her life, and being in such a position, she had seen much and thought much.

It was unclear who this remark was scolding—whether the Chen Dalang family or the Jinyang Marquis Manor.

The Princess Consort of Qi let out a soft sigh, then carefully spoke of Sui Sui's past, and also of how Sui Sui had helped Feng Xuanrui and Prince Qing's entourage.

So, concerning this matter, the Princess Consort of Qi concealed her own selfish thoughts and temporarily suppressed them.

Although Prince Qi felt a fateful connection with Sui Sui, he believed this was his own child lost out in the world.

The Princess Consort of Qi asked an extra question simply because she was worried about Sui Sui and couldn't rest easy.

Prince Qi didn't want Sui Sui to dislike him, so he quickly went to wash up.

The Princess Consort of Qi felt she could risk everything for her child, even against the whole world.

Prince Qi was displeased, waving his hand as he said, 'Are the people in the residence being lazy? Not cleaning the rooms diligently?'

Prince Qi almost had his hair stand on end from her gaze; he instinctively stepped back two steps, gritted his teeth, and asked, 'What are you looking at?'

But nothing untoward—where on earth did that smell come from on his body?

The Princess Consort of Qi couldn't figure it out; seeing her lost in thought, Prince Qi himself was also puzzled.

He doesn't smell bad either, does he?

The second watch is at 19:00.
