Fu Qiyuan looked helplessly at Jiao's mother.
Madam Jiao suddenly stood up, somewhat flustered, and said, "Doctor Yan, is it true? Is Shan'er really...!"
Before she could finish speaking, Jiao's mother covered her mouth.
Fu Qiyuan became even more anxious!
"Mother, what's wrong with Shan'er?"
Madam Jiao stepped forward, brushed aside Fu Qiyuan's outstretched hand, and stared at Physician Yan with shining eyes.
Physician Yan smiled and nodded, saying, "It's only been a short time; the results will be obvious in a few more days!"
Overjoyed, Jiao's mother spun around in circles, then grabbed Grand Tutor Cheng and cried tears of joy, "Father, Shan'er is pregnant! He's pregnant!"
Grand Tutor Cheng was also very happy and shouted to Fu Qiyuan, who was pale with anxiety, "Silly boy, you're going to be a father!"
Becoming a father? But I already am...!
Fu Qiyuan suddenly turned around and looked at Physician Yan. His gaze darted back and forth between Madam Jiao and Grand Tutor Cheng several times before he suddenly ran into the room.
Physician Yan and Jiao's mother exchanged a smile.
"This silly child...!"
Inside the room, Jiang Shan was fast asleep when he suddenly felt a chill on his face and a slightly cool, damp sensation.
She groggily opened her eyes and was met with Fu Qiyuan's tear-stained eyes.
She was startled and, supporting herself on the bed, asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Is it Huai'er...?"
Before she could speak, Fu Qiyuan's lips silenced her.
After a long while, Fu Qiyuan finally let go of Jiang Shan, cupped her face in his hands, and said with boundless joy, "Shan'er, congratulations, you're going to be a mother!"
Jiang Shan reacted almost instantly, grabbed Fu Qiyuan's hand and sat up, asking, "What did Physician Yan say? I told you it was nothing serious, it wasn't because I missed Huai'er... Do you remember Huai'er saying before that I had a little sister in my belly?"
Fu Qiyuan blinked. "You mean, Huai'er sensed it?"
Jiang Shan shook his head. "I don't know either. If this child is really a girl, then it will fulfill Huai'er's prophecy!"
Fu Qiyuan smiled and said, "No matter what, Shan'er, I am so happy! Shan'er, thank you for giving me all of this! This time, I will not miss the birth of this child again. I will stay by your side and take good care of you and the baby!"
Jiang Shan buried his head on Fu Qiyuan's shoulder and laughed, "I originally thought I'd just let things take their course, but I didn't expect God to be so kind to you, sending us this wonderful gift so early. I'm very happy!"
Fu Qiyuan's smile deepened.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and his expression changed abruptly.
Jiang Shan noticed his unusual behavior and looked at him with confusion.
Fu Qiyuan's face was pale, and his hands were trembling.
"Shan'er, when you gave birth to Huai'er... childbirth is very dangerous, otherwise we..."
Jiang Shan covered Fu Qiyuan's mouth, frowned, and said, "You're not allowed to say such things again! This is our child, we don't know what kind of fate we have, how can you bear to part with him?"
Fu Qiyuan said in a panic, "Shan'er, I'm reluctant to do it either, but I'm worried that you'll be in pain, that you'll get hurt, that you'll...!"
He couldn't bring himself to say those words, but he couldn't help but think about those bad things, and he felt terrible!
Jiang Shan took a deep breath, turned his face towards her, and said seriously, "When I gave birth to Huai'er, our conditions were not good. Now I am a princess, with you by my side, and with so many imperial physicians, and Mother will also invite the best midwife from the capital to help me give birth. What do we have to worry about?"
"That's true, but I..." Fu Qiyuan didn't dare to say those unlucky words, and his lips drooped in dejection.
Jiang Shan couldn't bear to see him tormenting himself like this, so she had to slowly and carefully explain things to him.
"Do you remember the blood transfusion surgery you and Huai'er had? Even if I have a difficult childbirth, Physician Yan can deliver the baby via cesarean section. I'll just have an extra incision in my abdomen, but both my baby and I will be safe and sound. You should trust Physician Yan's medical skills, right?"
To everyone's surprise, Fu Qiyuan's face turned even paler!
“Absolutely not! Grandfather and Second Uncle were here before, and An Yi and the others were helping out, but now they’ve all gone back to Qingcheng Mountain… Right, I need to have Fu Shu go to Qingcheng Mountain and invite Grandfather and Second Uncle back…!”
"Wait a minute, stop right there!"
Jiang Shan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She grabbed Fu Qiyuan and pressed him down into a chair. "Ayan, husband, you have to stay calm at this time. How can I have a baby in peace if you're like this?"
Fu Qiyuan was shocked, realizing a huge problem.
He is the child's father, Shan'er's husband, and the backbone of this family. If he cannot properly face the fact that Shan'er is having a child, how much pressure will it put on those around him!
Especially Shan'er!
Thinking of this, Fu Qiyuan took a few quick breaths to calm himself down. It took him a while to calm the pounding in his heart. He slowly hugged Jiang Shan's waist and gently rested his head on her abdomen.
"Shan'er, I will protect you!" These words seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
Jiang Shan held Fu Qiyuan's head and said with a gentle smile, "Let's prepare a few nice names for the child in advance, for girls!"
This sentence successfully distracted Fu Qiyuan, and a smile quickly spread across his face, as radiant as spring flowers.
Naming a child is a skill, and a highly sought-after job. From Sanlang to Fu Qiyuan to Fu Ting, from the Li Huan brothers to Jiao's mother to Grand Tutor Cheng, everyone has put in a lot of effort.
When she heard Li Huan and Li Yu naming their child, the Crown Princess suddenly realized a major problem and hurriedly brought her two sons to find the Crown Prince.
