Chapter 63 Happy Pulse
After a few more days, Huo Zheng went out earlier and came back later.
Chunzhi still gets up before dawn every day to make tofu. With Laicai keeping her company, she doesn't feel lonely.
Street vendors are still not allowed in the West Market, so regular customers have almost gotten used to going to Taohua Lane to buy tofu.
Chunzhi only sells two baskets of tofu every day. After finishing her work in the morning, she can rest in the afternoon and make clothes for Huo Qi.
One day, when she was wrapping tofu for Aunt Li, she suddenly felt nauseous and dry heaved several times, but nothing came out.
Seeing this, Aunt Li immediately asked her, "Chunzhi...you've been married for more than two months, right? Are you pregnant?"
Chunzhi was a little surprised and a little excited when she heard this. She said softly, "I don't know. I'll go to the clinic to see a doctor later."
She wrapped the tofu and handed it to Aunt Li.
Aunt Li said, "You and your husband are both young, so it's easy for you to get pregnant. You should go to the doctor as soon as possible."
"I know."
Chunzhi responded while counting the days since she last came to Kuishui in her mind.
It came at the beginning of last month, and it hasn't come at the end of this month.
Chunzhi gets up early and works late to make tofu, and her period has never been very accurate, but she didn't pay much attention to it. Today, she suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. Aunt Li asked her if she was pregnant, but she wasn't sure.
After selling tofu in the morning, Chunzhi cooked herself a bowl of rice cake. After cleaning the yard, she went to the clinic.
The patient was the old doctor named Zhang who had taken Yuzhu's pulse last time.
Chunzhi sat down in front of the medical record and stretched out her hand for Doctor Zhang to take her pulse.
It was quiet all around.
Doctor Zhang felt her pulse for a long time and said, "The pulse is like a rolling ball, which means it is a pulse of happiness."
"Is this really a pregnancy pulse?"
Chunzhi has wanted a child who is related to her by blood for a long time.
She had been an orphan for ten years. Even though she was taken in by the Lu family and treated Lu Jingyun and Old Madam Lu as family, there was always a lack of blood ties.
Now that she is with Huo Qi, Chunzhi also knows that their love cannot last forever. Huo Qi will leave one day sooner or later, and this child belongs to her completely.
When Chunzhi heard the doctor say that it was a pregnant pulse, she was still a little bit unbelieving.
Doctor Zhang asked, "Why would I lie to you?"
Chunzhi asked, "Then...what should I pay attention to on a daily basis? Should I take tonic medicine to protect the pregnancy?"
Doctor Zhang said, "You are in good health. Don't take any tonics. Just make sure you get enough rest and don't overwork yourself."
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Chunzhi was overwhelmed by the good news. When she returned home, she went to Qian Sanniang's shop and bought some good fabrics, ready to start making clothes for the child.
Qian Sanniang also teased Chunzhi, saying that after she got married, she was willing to spend money and the materials of the clothes she bought were better and better.
Chunzhi had a smile on her face and said nothing to Qian Sanniang.
She has been pregnant for just over a month, and according to the customs of Linshui Town, she cannot tell others that she is pregnant so early.
You have to wait until the child is older and the pregnancy is obvious before telling others.
Chunzhi went home with the cloth in her arms. As soon as she entered Taohua Lane, she saw a luxurious carriage with two riders pulling by it parked in front of her yard.
A group of servants and maids were standing in front of the carriage. When they saw Chunzhi coming back, their eyes all fell on her.
Chunzhi wanted to bypass them and go straight home, but she heard one of the maids turn around, lift the carriage curtain, and report respectfully: "Sir, the person has returned."
"Let me see what kind of beauty has captured Qilang's heart?"
Huo Yu stepped out, waving a folding fan in his hand. He got off the carriage and looked at Chunzhi while smiling, "She is indeed a rare beauty. Even her thorny hairpin and cloth skirt cannot hide her stunning beauty."
As he spoke, he walked towards Chunzhi.
Chunzhi took two steps back, and the maidservants from Prince Ning's mansion immediately blocked her way.
Huo Yu continued to move forward, "Beauty, what's your name?"
Chunzhi's face turned pale. Instead of answering, she asked, "Who are you?"
Huo Yu smiled and said, "Me? I'm the Prince of Ning, Qilang's cousin."
Huo Zheng has been traveling frequently between Nanzhou City and Linshui Town these days. Huo Yu sent people to follow him for a long time and finally found out that he had settled down in Taohua Lane.
Prince Chang'an was inspecting Nanzhou, but no matter how he and his father tried to tempt him, Huo Zheng refused to take the bait. He was simply a stubborn person.
Huo Yu had no choice but to find another way, so he found Chunzhi.
"Prince Ning——"
Chunzhi had never met Prince Ning, but she knew that he was the most powerful person in Nanzhou.
The young man in front of him claimed to be the Prince of Ning, and judging from the way he traveled, it didn't seem fake.
So, could the Qilang he mentioned be Huo Qi?
Chunzhi thought that Huo Qi might come from a wealthy family, but she never thought that he would be related to a big figure like King Ning.
Huo Yu smiled and moved closer to Chunzhi, "Why, Qilang mentioned me to you?"
Chunzhi moved to the side and was about to speak when she heard someone riding a horse galloping behind her, the sound of horse hooves was right next to her ears.
"Huo Yu!" Huo Zheng jumped off his horse and pushed Huo Yu away from Chunzhi.
He stood in front of Chunzhi, his handsome face slightly gloomy, and asked Huo Yu: "What are you doing here?"
Huo Yu was nearly thrown to the ground, but he remained unfazed. He smiled and said, "Of course I came to see what kind of beauty Qilang has hidden."
Huo Zheng turned to Chunzhi and said, "You go in first."
Chunzhi wanted to ask who he was, but in front of so many outsiders, she held back, replied softly, "Okay," opened the gate, and walked in quickly.
"Hey, don't go, beautiful."
Huo Yu wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Huo Zheng.
Huo Yu put away his white folding fan and said with a smile, "Qi Lang, don't be so stingy. You have a beautiful girl hidden in a golden house, no, it should be a thatched house, and you are reluctant to let me see her?"
Huo Zheng said in a normal tone, "She's just an ordinary girl, nothing special to look at."
"That's impossible." Huo Yu laughed and said, "There are only a handful of beauties like this in the entire Nanzhou City. If they weren't so rare, why do you come to this thatched cottage every day, Qilang?"
Prince Ning boasted of his romantic character, smiling and waving his fan as he teased Huo Zheng.
Huo Zheng said: "It has nothing to do with you."
As he spoke, he was about to walk into the yard.
Chunzhi must have been frightened by Huo Yu just now. He had to go over and comfort her, and then tell her his true identity.
But at this moment, a group of Nanzhou officials rushed in from the alley, knelt on the ground in unison, and shouted: "Your subordinates pay their respects to the King of Chang'an!"
The sound of greetings, spoken in unison, echoed in front of the door.
Chunzhi, who was afraid that Huo Qi would have a conflict with the Prince of Ning, happened to walk behind the door at this time. Hearing the words "Greetings to the King of Chang'an", he saw those officials in official uniforms kneeling in front of Huo Qi one by one.
Chunzhi was stunned for a moment.
Huo Qi... Huo Qi is actually the King of Chang'an!
When Huo Zheng turned around, he saw Chunzhi who was in shock.
"Haruji..."
When Huo Zheng took a step forward, Chunzhi involuntarily took a step back.
