Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1088 - 1086: Pregnant

Wufu’s days in Changan City were busy and fulfilling, while in Huayang, during Wufu’s absence, things were not so peaceful, especially at present.

Madam Zhou lay on the chaise longue, looking a bit haggard, her expression complex, yet upon closer observation, one could detect a faint trace of joy deep in her eyes.

"Madam, the medicine is here." Qiu Xiang entered with a tray, noticing Madam Zhou staring at her abdomen. She couldn’t help but glance at her belly, feeling inexplicably conflicted.

Who would have thought, at her age, Madam could still get pregnant? Over thirty, people might call it an old clam producing a pearl.

Not only would Qiu Xiang be surprised, but Madam Zhou herself hadn’t anticipated this. After so many years, she would have another child.

Madam Zhou caressed her abdomen, sighed lightly, her expression mixed with both sighs and joy.

Qiu Xiang placed the medicine aside and stood by, forced a smile saying, "Madam, this fetus-preserving medicine was personally brewed by me. Please drink it while it’s hot."

Fetus-preserving medicine.

Madam Zhou bit her lip, looking at the steaming bowl of medicine. This was the first time such a medicine appeared in her life. When she was pregnant with Wufu, so laborious and tough, she never needed this. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Now, it was merely anger and fatigue that caused a fainting spell. When diagnosed with pregnancy and minor fetal distress, this medicine was prescribed.

Indeed, living a life of ease makes one delicate, or perhaps it’s simply that at her age, pregnancy is unsettling.

Madam Zhou touched the warm rim of the bowl, slowly sipped, and soon finished the entire bowl of medicine.

Qiu Xiang then offered warm water for her to rinse her mouth, then handed her a plate of sweet and sour candied fruit, saying, "This was made by Sister-in-law Qing the other day. It comes in handy now, Madam, would you like some?"

Madam Zhou picked one with her fingers and put it in her mouth. The sour and sweet taste was indeed good, so she said, "The flavor is suitable, it’s quite nice."

"That’s why I said these candied fruits were made skillfully," Qiu Xiang said with a smile. She stepped back two steps and curtsied to Madam Zhou, "Congratulations, Madam, on bearing a noble son."

Madam Zhou smiled and caressed her belly, saying, "Thank you. But it hasn’t been born yet, who knows if it’s a son or a daughter?" Although she spoke this way, inside, she was still full of hope and anticipation.

A son is a woman’s fate; in this era, no woman doesn’t wish to have a son, it’s their source of confidence.

Since Madam Zhou already has a daughter, she wants a son even more, yet thinking she is too old, she hadn’t hoped for this. Dare not think.

Who knew, just like that, it happened.

Madam Zhou caressed her abdomen, her expression gentle.

"I must apologize to Madam," Qiu Xiang said regretfully, "Madam’s monthly visitor didn’t come, and I didn’t consider it would be a problem, almost causing a disaster. Madam, please punish me."

Madam Zhou laughed and said in mock anger, "How can I blame you? You are still a young girl; how could you know these things? I don’t have any elderly companions either. Not to mention you, even I didn’t anticipate this. Just thought the monthly visitor was irregular again, had no idea it turned out to be..."

Qiu Xiang quickly said, "It’s because the young master cares for Madam. It’s already been two months, and besides sleeping more, Madam hasn’t shown any other reactions, which shows the young master cherishes Madam!"

Madam Zhou was coaxed into a bright smile and said, "Yes, this is different from when I was pregnant with his sister. Your lady was quite restless then."

Qiu Xiang promptly complimented, saying the lady is caring too.
