In the early morning, to eat something so crisp and fragrant, if it were the former Princess Wenyi, it would have been absolutely impossible. But now, as long as she opened her mouth, even if she wanted the moon in the sky, it's likely Bai Silang would go and fetch it.
The entire Bai household paid special attention to this sudden child. Especially Madam Lin. Since Bai Siru got married and Bai Shanwei went to the southwest, her maternal love had nowhere to be released.
Now, there was finally something to do.
First, they appealed to the ancestors, then they ordered the entire household to clean, and threw away everything that was not conducive to pregnancy.
A skilled cook was specially assigned to her small kitchen, so she could have whatever she wanted made fresh.
Then, a massive amount of tonics were sent to the Fourth Branch's courtyard, making Princess Wenyi feel quite embarrassed.
"Sister-in-law, you're making too much of a fuss. I still don't know anything."
"What do you need to know? Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's a Bai family child. You just need to take good care of yourself. Once it's born, I'll help you raise it."
After saying this, she suddenly remembered that their manor had not heard the laughter of children for a long time. The arrival of this one was simply a gift from heaven.
"Sister-in-law..."
Princess Wenyi felt that marrying Bai Silang in this life was truly a blessing.
And to have such a sister-in-law was like falling into a honey pot.
"You, just don't overthink it. Once the pregnancy is stable, quickly share the good news with your relatives. I can imagine their expressions."
The sisters-in-law chuckled. Who could say otherwise!
Bai Siruo, under the instructions of Madam Lin, kept the news strictly confidential. But in the end, she couldn't resist telling Xiao Muqian.
Xiao Muqian's eyes widened, unsure how to respond.
After a long while, he finally said, "Then what congratulatory gift should we give Mother-in-law?"
Bai Siruo looked at his clueless appearance, pouted, and waved her hand.
"You'll have to hold on. Let's wait until Mother's pregnancy is stable."
Xiao Muqian nodded. It was indeed surprising to have a child at this age, so it was better to be careful.
Then he stared at Bai Siruo, his gaze seeming to say, Mother-in-law already has one, when will Madam have one?
So, taking advantage of Bai Siruo's lack of preparedness, he picked her up and carried her towards the inner room.
The maids were all so shy, they quickly hid in the courtyard. The Second Young Master and Madam were truly deeply in love.
The Feng family was the first to know the news, and it was Feng Er.
He hadn't expected to be so precise. He had just arrived at the academy to talk with his fourth uncle and Yun He when someone from the Bai family came to report the good news.
In the middle of the night, if he hadn't protected them, the carriage might not have even entered the city.
So, he returned home and told Madam Feng and Feng Jinyao.
They were indeed surprised, especially Madam Feng, who repeatedly confirmed the truth of the matter with him.
It was Feng Jinyao who, recalling a past joke, quickly understood that Bai Siruo must have been behind it!
"Fourth Uncle's wife is getting on in years. Is it appropriate to be pregnant at this time?"
"No one can say for sure. No, I have to go and see."
Madam Feng was about to get up, but Feng Jinyao stopped her.
"Fourth Uncle's wife suddenly became pregnant, and I'm sure everyone in the household is being very careful. If Mother goes at this time and disturbs her pregnancy, it won't be good. Besides, Eldest Aunt is the most meticulous person. They must have thought about waiting until after the first three months to announce it. Otherwise, if they have to entertain you today and the Prince Kang's manor tomorrow, how can Fourth Uncle's wife nurture her pregnancy?"
"What you say makes sense. Forget it, I'll wait a bit longer. But I still have to send something."
"Mother, don't worry. Daughter will find Uncle Shou and ask him to visit the Bai family to check on Fourth Uncle's wife's pregnancy. He would be more suitable than us. We can say it's to see the maternal grandfather, how about that?"
"Yes, that's a good idea. It won't alert the enemy."
Prime Minister Bai's illness in the past was also seen by Divine Doctor Zhang, so it wasn't a big deal for him to visit now.
When the Bai manor received the invitation stating that the Feng family was sending Divine Doctor Zhang to see Prime Minister Bai, Madam Lin quickly understood. She immediately sent someone to invite the divine doctor to Princess Wenyi.
After a careful examination, Divine Doctor Zhang said.
"This pregnancy came a bit early. Fourth Madam's body is not suitable for pregnancy."
"Then what should we do?"
The sisters-in-law immediately became anxious. The feeling of gaining and then losing was very difficult to bear.
"Nothing needs to be done. I will write a prescription, and we will come for a consultation once a month. We will try to keep the child until seven months. Premature babies can survive, but if the mother's body cannot provide enough nutrients, it's better to give birth and nurture it carefully."
Hearing this, their hearts fluttered intensely.
Bai Silang held Princess Wenyi's hand, wanting to transmit his warmth to her, but Princess Wenyi seemed lost in her worries and did not feel it.
Divine Doctor Zhang's voice suddenly became louder.
"Fourth Madam, a mother is strong. Since the child has come, you, as a mother, should protect it well. Now you need to take good care of your body, eat what you should eat, sleep when you should sleep. After the first three months, you should also exercise appropriately. I said I can keep it until seven months, and there will be no problem. If your own emotional distress causes any issues with the child, then don't blame me."
Divine Doctor Zhang's consultations were based on his mood.
Everyone around him was strong and healthy. Seeing Princess Wenyi's sad expression, he became displeased.
A physician can treat illness, but not the heart.
He disliked concealing the patient's condition the most, so he was always straightforward.
Hearing his words, Princess Wenyi was first taken aback. Then, her maternal love was ignited, and she wiped the tears from her eyes and said.
"Divine Doctor is right! I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions so early. Since the child has come, I will definitely ensure its health and safety."
Whether it was the effect of Divine Doctor Zhang's medicine or Princess Wenyi's firm resolve,
Her nausea and loss of appetite disappeared. Instead, she could eat and sleep, and even became more plump.
Seeing her condition, the people in the Bai manor felt their hearts rise and fall like a swing.
Fortunately, her body was well-maintained, so she had a smooth and safe pregnancy.
Madam Lin, fearing disturbance from outsiders, decided that even after three months, she would probably wait until the child was born before announcing it to the public.
The Prince Kang's manor did not keep it a secret. The old Princess and the current Princess personally came to visit her.
They were happy that she could conceive again, and at the same time, they worried if she could bear it. However, looking at her complexion, she appeared much better than the news suggested.
Bai Silang had taken leave from the academy and was wholeheartedly taking care of his wife at home.
Madam Lin also did not dare to be careless and stayed close to Princess Wenyi.
She was now the darling of the Bai family, and this affection made Bai Sihan envious.
