Feng Liu sighed internally: “We envy her, but she must envy us too. A woman's life is always incomplete without her own child.”
“Sigh.”
Xuanyuan Qing listened and stopped smiling, no longer speaking.

Drunken Frost Residence.
As the Duchess of Zhen leaned on the head of her bed, she held her chest and cried out in pain.
Crying about the pain in her heart, she urged Lin Jinyun to send messages to her unworthy grandchildren, telling them to hurry back and visit her without delay.
Being filial, Lin Jinyun obliged and sent a Sound Transmission Talisman to each of his brothers. The replies they received were all the same.
All the brothers, including Lin Jinming, claimed to be exploring a Secret Realm and unable to return for a year and a half.
“Aiyo, these brats are killing me.”
The Duchess of Zhen's chest pain worsened after hearing the replies. She gave Lin Jinyun an earful.
Lin Jinyun lowered his eyelids, letting the words go in one ear and out the other, not taking it to heart.
“The Princess Consort is here.”
The maidservant at Drunken Frost Residence saw Feng Liu and Xuanyuan Qing coming together, lifted the curtain, and bowed to report.
“Qing'er is here.”
Lin Jinyun's heart cheered, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief as he slipped out of the chamber.
“It's getting dark, and it's cold outside. Hurry and let the Princess Consort in.”
Having given birth to two sons and now pregnant with another, Xuanyuan Qing was a great asset to the Duke of Zhen's household.
The Duchess of Zhen felt better as soon as she heard that Xuanyuan Qing was here. Her heart no longer ached, and she immediately regained her spirit.
“Qing'er, how come you're here?”
Lin Jinyun greeted his wife outside, holding her hand with a caring look.
“If I didn't come…”
Xuanyuan Qing glanced at the chamber, winked playfully: “Would the old Madam let you go?”
“The Princess Consort speaks the truth.”
Lin Jinyun suppressed his laughter, nodded solemnly, expressing agreement.
“Hehe.”
Feng Liu watched on, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and laughing.
“Princess Consort, the old Madam invites you in.”
The maidservant lifted the curtain and bowed.
“Alright.”
Lin Jinyun answered for his wife, helping her toward the chamber. As they crossed the threshold, he whispered, “Watch out for the high step. Don't trip.”
The considerate attention made Feng Liu envious.
Among the Lin clan's brothers, the Regent was the most gentle and considerate.
Xuanyuan Qing was indeed fortunate – marrying away from home and finding a good husband to be with for a lifetime.
“Qing'er, come in.”
The Duchess of Zhen looked at Xuanyuan Qing's round belly and had a smile in her eyes.
“Old Madam, I heard that you were ill, so I brought some nourishing gifts to pay my respects.”
Xuanyuan Qing smiled softly, gesturing for her maidservant to bring the supplements forward.
“You're more sensible and filial than those brats.”
As the Duchess of Zhen glanced at the maidservants carrying the tray of gifts, entering single file, she thought of her ungrateful grandchildren and felt a pang in her heart again.
“Old Madam.”
Xuanyuan Qing intentionally changed the subject, “Yesterday, I asked the Imperial Physician in the palace to take my pulse. They said this child I'm carrying might be a girl.”
“Really?!”
Not only the Duchess of Zhen but also Lin Jinyun and Feng Liu looked surprised and delighted at the news.
“Qing'er is not lying.”
Xuanyuan Qing's eyes glistened with a hint of anticipation as she bashfully lowered her eyelids.
“Jinyun, hurry and send someone to Relief Medical Hall to invite Immortal Master Mo.”
The Duchess of Zhen excitedly got out of bed and instructed Lin Jinyun, “Have Immortal Master Mo come to the Duke of Zhen's household personally to take Qing'er's pulse.”
“My grandson will go personally.”
Lin Jinyun was also excited, and he left the chamber as he spoke.
