Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When the maids of the mansion saw Jiang Songbai carrying Jiang Peihuan inside, worry appeared in their eyes.

Upon hearing Jiang Songbai’s shout, they hurriedly went to fetch the mansion’s doctor.

Some people also went to the Chrysanthemum Hall and Yan Lin to report.

When the Jiang family heard the news, they rushed to the plum garden immediately.

Even the old madam held Nanny Xu’s hand and went to the plum garden.

Jiang Songbai carried Jiang Peihuan into the plum garden and placed her on the bed.

“Where’s the doctor? Why isn’t he here yet?”

Seeing Jiang Peihuan’s pale face, Jiang Songbai was full of anxiety. He, being the youngest son of the general’s mansion and having always studied in the academy.

The maids of the General’s Mansion had always thought that the Third Young Master had the mildest temperament. Now that they saw Jiang Songbai’s appearance, everyone was shocked.

“Young Master, the doctor is here.”

When Ping An saw his young master carrying the young miss and rushing back to the mansion, he hurriedly followed him back.

Ping An pulled the doctor and brought him directly to Jiang Peihuan’s room.

“Greetings, Third Young Master, I…”

“Don’t bother with formalities. Just check on my eldest sister.”

Before the doctor could finish, Jiang Songbai hurriedly cut him off and stepped aside.

The doctor then took Jiang Peihuan’s pulse.

While the doctor was checking, Jiang Songbai didn’t dare to speak, even trying to breathe softly.

“Huan Er, Huan…”

Xue Yan, supporting the old madam, entered the room hastily and saw the doctor checking the pulse. Seeing this, she instinctively stopped shouting.

The doctor alternated between frowning and smiling.

After releasing Jiang Peihuan’s hand, he greeted the old madam and Xue Yan, “Congratulations.”

“Doctor, what are you saying? My elder sister fainted, and you’re congratulating?”

Before Xue Yan and the old madam could respond, Jiang Songbai, filled with anger, spoke out.

Both the Old Madam Jiang and Xue Yan were stunned, but a few seconds later, the old madam, with excitement in her eyes, asked the doctor, “Do you mean Huan Er is… pregnant?”

“Yes, the Eldest Miss is indeed pregnant.”

“That’s wonderful, truly wonderful!”

Old Madam Jiang and Xue Yan were excited when they heard the doctor’s words. Jiang Songbai was stunned.

His elder sister was pregnant. He was about to become an uncle.

Thinking of this, Jiang Songbai’s face was full of smiles.

Looking at Liu Xiu standing behind, he grabbed her hand, “Mother, did you hear? My elder sister is pregnant. I’m going to be an uncle.”

Jiang Songbai was beaming with happiness and excitement.

Liu Xiu had a great relationship with Jiang Peihuan, and upon hearing this, her eyes were also full of smiles.

But Xue Yan, seeing the still unconscious and pale-faced Jiang Peihuan, turned to the doctor, “How is Huan Er’s health now? Why is she so pale?”

“Madam, don’t worry. The young lady is just exhausted. Coupled with her pregnancy, it led to her fainting. A few days of proper rest should make her fine.”

“Do you need to prescribe any medicine?”

“No need. The eldest miss is in excellent health. Just adjust her diet and eat more nutritious foods. Medicines have their side effects, and given her current situation, it’s not suitable for her to take any.”

“Yu Zhen, remember to reward the doctor when you send him out.”

Old Madam Jiang looked at Nanny Xu and said in a low voice.

“Yes.”

Nanny Xu replied softly when she heard the old madam’s words.

The entire Jiang Mansion was filled with joy upon learning of Jiang Pei Huan’s pregnancy.

By the time Jiang Peihuan woke up, it was already night. As she opened her eyes, she was somewhat dazed.

“Huan Er, you’re awake?”

The Old Madam Jiang had been asked to rest because of her age, but Xue Yan, worried about her daughter, had been keeping vigil in the Plum Garden. Seeing Jiang Peihuan’s eyes flutter open, she immediately approached.

Upon seeing Xue Yan sitting by her bed, Jiang Peihuan quickly sat up, “Mother, why are you here?”

“You must be careful now that you are pregnant. No more rash actions.”

“Child… Mother, what are you saying?”

“I’m saying that you’re pregnant, Huan Er. You’re going to be a mother,” Xue Yan’s eyes sparkled with happiness. However, hearing these words, Jiang Peihuan was completely stunned.

She was pregnant.

She was going to be a mother.

She lowered her gaze to her still-flat belly, reaching out to gently touch it. While there was no visible bump, the realization that a new life was growing inside her felt incredibly surreal.

Apart from the joy, there was a hint of complexity in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes. This life was different from her previous one. In her past life, by this time, the Jiang family was on the brink of collapse, and she had no chance to get married or have children. But now, she was already expecting her own child.

“Huan Er, this is a joyous occasion. You should inform King Cheng,” Xue Yan reminded her, “Your father has already gone to the palace to share the good news.”

Given Xiao Nanye’s unique position, he should have been the one to report the happy news in person. But with his absence and Jiang Peihuan’s indisposition, Jiang Hong decided to go on their behalf.

In the imperial palace, within the Qian Qing Hall.

“You said what?” Emperor Qi Ming’s eyes were wide with surprise, so much so that he accidentally dripped ink onto the paper from his brush.

Seeing the emperor’s delighted expression, Jiang Hong proudly announced, “My daughter, Huan Er, is pregnant. I’m about to become a grandfather.”

The emperor’s joy was palpable, but when he saw Jiang Hong’s smug expression, he suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.

After all, in terms of familial relations, he would only be an imperial uncle to the child, while Jiang Hong would be a grandfather.

Yet, thinking of the child was Xiao Nanye’s, the emperor’s eyes twinkled with happiness again.

Turning to Wang Kun, he ordered, “Go to the storeroom and see if there are any tonics. Let the great general take them later to help Queen Cheng to regain her strength.”

At that moment, a eunuch announced outside, “Your Majesty, the Empress wishes to see you.”

“Let the Empress in,” the emperor commanded.

Soon after, the empress entered the Qian Qing Hall. As Jiang Hong was about to bow to the empress, she stopped him, “Great General, no need for formalities.”

“I’ve heard about Queen Cheng’s pregnancy and have prepared some tonics. Please take them with you when you leave the palace,” she said.

“Thank you, Your Royal Majesty,” Jiang Hong replied.

The empress smiled, “You’re too polite. King Cheng grew up before our eyes, and we are quite fond of Pei Huan. Now that she’s pregnant, she should rest and not move around much. After three months, let her come to the palace to chat.”

“Understood.”

Ever since Jiang Peihuan discovered the poison in the empress, the empress had been extremely fond of her. Hence, upon hearing of her pregnancy, she immediately came over and had many tonics prepared for her..
