Chapter 261 Pei Rujing is Pregnant
Wei gave birth at the end of July. Although it wasn't as hot as in June, postpartum care was still difficult at this time.
The room could not have its windows open, nor could ice be placed in it, lest one catch a chill. The maids could only fan the room, but they could not fan it continuously, lest it cause a headache.
Pei Rujing visited Wei Shi several times and was deeply moved by how uncomfortable Wei Shi was during her postpartum period: "I will never give birth in hot weather."
Both the Liu family and the Wei family left a shadow on Pei Rujing.
I thought childbirth was the most painful thing, but the postpartum period was even more uncomfortable.
Wen Zongji raised an eyebrow: "Then we'd better calculate the time carefully."
Pei Rujing looked at him: "Does this even count?"
Isn't it said that when you get pregnant depends on fate?
"Yes, but it's not allowed."
Actually, he only had a superficial understanding of this and wasn't very clear about it.
In his previous life, during the era of big data, he had come across this information, but at that time he neither had a girlfriend nor thought about marriage, so he wasn't interested in this kind of information and just glanced at it before scrolling past it.
Pei Rujing rolled her eyes at him: "Then what's the difference between you saying it and not saying it at all?"
"This will put my wife's mind at ease."
"Let's forget about it. The day after tomorrow is Hengge'er's one-month celebration. I made a pair of gold locks for him. Remember to pick them up when you come back from work tomorrow."
Wen Zongji nodded: "I've got it."
……
Duke Pei's Mansion
Duke Pei's smile never stopped today; he greeted everyone with a beaming look.
Although Pei Shizhao was not close to him and did not respect him as his father, this did not prevent Pei Shizhao from being his most valued eldest son.
Now that Pei Shizhao has a legitimate eldest son, it means that the Pei family has an heir.
Even if Duke Pei doted on the two children born to Consort Wang, he knew in his heart that the Pei family business would definitely be handed over to Pei Shizhao.
So when he learned that Lady Wei had given birth to her eldest son, he began to make arrangements for the full moon celebration. Fearing that the Princess would hold the celebration at the Princess's residence, the Duke of Pei told Pei Shizhao the day after Lady Wei gave birth that he would be in full charge of the full moon celebration.
Pei Shizhao knew that the eldest princess would not compete with the Duke of Pei for her, so he agreed.
Wen Zongji and Pei Rujing arrived at the Pei State Duke's residence together. Seeing the decorations and the joyful atmosphere, Wen Zongji said, "It seems the Pei State Duke really cares about Hengge'er. Was this name given by the Pei State Duke himself?"
Pei Rujing nodded.
Pei Shizhao wanted to choose the name himself. Duke Pei had thought of several names when Lady Wei was pregnant, and when he learned that his eldest grandson was born, he immediately decided on the name.
The name Pei Shizhao prepared was never used.
The full moon celebration of the eldest grandson of the Duke of Pei's family was undoubtedly grand, with even Emperor Shun'an and the Crown Prince in the palace sending congratulatory gifts.
Although it was done out of respect for the eldest princess, this favor truly fell upon the Duke Pei's mansion, and the guests who came to the banquet surrounded the Duke Pei to offer their congratulations.
Pei Rujing felt a pang of nausea at the sight of Duke Pei's smug expression.
Wen Zongji held her hand: "We'll leave after the banquet ends."
Pei Ruyan, who was not far away, couldn't help but bite her lip when she saw this scene.
She had come of age, and Aunt Wang was helping her find a husband. It was only then that she realized that although she had looked down on Wen Zongji's status back then, it was not easy for her to marry someone of Wen Zongji's status now.
Although she is the daughter of Duke Pei, Duke Pei is currently retired and has no real power. Pei Shizhao, on the other hand, has a bright future, but this has little to do with Pei Ruyan.
Of course, if she wanted, she could marry a son of a noble family or an earl's family, but he would definitely be a good-for-nothing playboy, and no one with any ambition would marry her.
After all, it's obvious that you can't get any help from her.
The reality of the marriage negotiations during this period made Pei Ruyan indignant, and she became increasingly displeased with Pei Rujing.
But she dared not do anything, not even look up at Pei Rujing, for fear that Pei Rujing would notice her emotions.
Pei Rujing didn't even notice Pei Ruyan.
She used to dislike Pei Ruyan because she still had some lingering feelings for her father, Duke Pei.
Now that she doesn't even care about Duke Pei, she certainly won't take Pei Ruyan seriously.
Pei Rujing didn't care, and Wen Zongji cared even less.
He was focused on picking out the fish bones for Pei Rujing and then putting them in her bowl.
Pei Rujing gave him a sweet smile, but the next moment her face changed drastically. She couldn't help but gag, vomiting up all the fish she had just eaten.
Wen Zongji immediately patted Pei Rujing's back: "Wife, what's wrong?"
Pei Rujing frowned: "Why does this fish taste so fishy?"
"Does it smell fishy?"
Wen Zongji smelled it, then took a bite: "It's not fishy at all."
Pei Rujing took a sip of tea, suppressing the urge to gag: "Maybe I just can't get used to the food."
"Then let's eat something else."
Pei Rujing shook her head: "I have no appetite."
Seeing this, a woman standing nearby smiled and suggested, "Perhaps the princess could consult a doctor to take her pulse."
Wen Zongji's expression changed slightly: "Does Madam mean the County Princess is ill?"
He was perfectly fine when he left the Marquis's residence today.
Pei Rujing frowned: "I don't feel any discomfort."
The woman looked at the inexperienced young couple, her smile deepening: "It's not an illness, perhaps it's a good thing."
She was only guessing and didn't say it outright.
Wen Zongji understood the woman's implied meaning, and his heart suddenly raced. He barely managed to remain calm: "Thank you for reminding me, Madam."
Pei Rujing hadn't quite grasped the meaning yet: "What do you mean?"
Wen Zongji squeezed her hand: "My wife will know soon."
Pei Rujing pouted.
He hates speaking in riddles.
After that, Wen Zongji became absent-minded. He watched Pei Shizhao holding Hengge'er and exchanging pleasantries with everyone, but he didn't go over to join in.
As soon as the banquet ended, Wen Zongji pulled Pei Rujing away from the Duke of Pei's mansion.
As he boarded the carriage, he instructed, "Go to the nearest clinic."
Pei Rujing was pulled into the clinic by Wen Zongji in a daze.
"Doctor, please take a look at my wife."
The old doctor glanced at Pei Rujing and said, "Please extend your wrist, Madam."
Pei Rujing glanced at Wen Zongji, then placed her right hand on the pulse pillow.
The old doctor carefully examined the pulse, his eyes flashing slightly. He then glanced at Wen Zongji, who appeared calm but was actually extremely nervous, and he understood the situation.
But the old doctor didn't immediately make a conclusion, saying, "Please have the lady switch to her left hand."
Generally speaking, it is more accurate to take the pulse in both hands.
Pei Rujing placed her left hand on it.
This time, the old doctor smiled, withdrew his hand, and said, "Congratulations, madam, you are one month pregnant."
This statement came out.
Wen Zongji revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
Pei Rujing stood there, stunned.
Qinghe and the others behind them were overjoyed.
The county princess is pregnant!
Yunguangyuan is going to have a little master!
