Chapter 856: Mother is more anxious than her
"Mother, why are you more anxious than me? My aunt's due date is in early August, so it won't be too late to go back a few days later."
Jing Chunxi's slender fingers were pressing lightly on Jing Qiurong's swollen calf. There was a hint of helplessness in his tone as if he was being urged, but his movements were still gentle and delicate, for fear of hurting his mother.
The cicadas outside the window are no longer so noisy, and the house doesn't feel stuffy even without the ice basin.
Jing Qiurong leaned on the soft couch with a bulging belly. She seemed to be in great pain because she was carrying twins.
She sighed, a look of deep worry etched between her brows. "Child, I understand the truth. But she's your aunt, much older than me. If you don't go, she might feel uneasy. I'd rather you stay with me."
She sighed softly and said, "Mother is always worried. After all, after giving birth to this child, the princess doesn't know if she can have another one."
Then he gently pushed her and said, "The sooner Xi'er passes away, the sooner I can feel at ease. Fairy aunt... and your strange but effective medicine make me feel more at ease than ten imperial doctors in the palace." Her words were vague, but they both understood each other tacitly.
Being urged repeatedly by his mother, Jing Chunxi did feel a little unpleasant in his heart, but he still did not stop and focused on massaging the acupoints, trying to relieve his mother's discomfort.
She could understand her mother's anxiety, and knew that her anxiety also came from the sense of belonging she had after marrying her stepfather. She regarded Prince Jingjing's Mansion as her own home, and Princess Hongjun was also a rare relative of hers. Naturally, she hoped that her relatives were well.
"Hey! It's all my fault." Xu Dingchun, who was also guarding his wife, hit his leg suddenly, his face full of regret and self-blame.
"At first, the military doctor didn't realize you were pregnant with twins, so he only gave your mother the same supplements as for a single baby. If he had known earlier, he would have fed her smaller meals more frequently and taken good care of her. He wouldn't have let her become so weak. Now she can't eat or sleep well, and Xi'er is worrying too much."
Looking at his wife's haggard appearance, he felt extremely distressed and thought that he had failed in his duty as a husband.
Jing Chunxi looked up at her adoptive father, and the slight unhappiness in her heart was instantly replaced by a warm feeling. She slowed her voice and soothed, "Dad, please stop blaming yourself. How can you be blamed for this? Mom had such severe morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy, throwing up everything she ate. She was so thin that she was completely emaciated. She was lucky to be able to eat more and gain some weight later on. The health of the fetus is the most important thing."
She was most happy to see her parents loving each other, and felt that even the deeply affectionate young couples described in books were no more than this. However, Xu Dingchun was now obsessed with his concern.
"Xi'er promises you that I will take care of mother and my brothers and sisters." She said firmly, trying to reassure her parents. "As soon as I'm sure Auntie is safe, I'll rush back as fast as I can and won't delay even a moment."
Having said that, Jing Chunxi also had a heavy weight in his heart.
During this period, she would enter the space every night, harvest a new crop of crops, and plant new seeds. However, she had no time to take care of the rest of the vegetables and grains, as her mind was entirely on the pharmacy.
Every time she would check again and again, hoping for new tips, or at least some new medicines for pregnant women. But every time she returned disappointed - the medicine cabinet remained the same, there were no new medicines, let alone any guidance.
This silence only made her even more uneasy. Did this mean that her mother and aunt's births would be smooth and uneventful, or was it just the calm before the storm? She didn't dare to say for sure.
After only a few days of reluctant stay at Qingshan Manor, on July 20th, Jing Chunxi could no longer resist her mother's constant urging and had no choice but to pack up and head for the city. This time, she was directly settled in Prince Jing's mansion.
The moment Princess Hong saw her, her eyes suddenly brightened, and her slightly frowned brows seemed to relax. She held her hand tightly and let out a long sigh: "Good child, you are finally here. Actually... there is no need to rush back so quickly, your mother also needs care." Although the words were polite, the relaxed expression could not deceive anyone.
Jing Chunxi knew that if he hadn't come, his aunt would have been nervous until the moment of delivery. After all, his aunt was already quite old, having last given birth to Ling'er nearly ten years ago. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't afraid.
She held her aunt's hand, her smile gentle and reassuring, "Don't worry, Aunt, Mother is fine. Since you're here, Xi'er won't go anywhere and will stay with you in the mansion. The farthest I'll go is just a walk with Ling'er."
As soon as she entered the mansion, Ling'er chattered to her that the moon gates of Prince Jing's Mansion and her family's Earl Rong'en Mansion had been repaired. Now the two mansions were connected, making travel very convenient.
"Sister!" Ling'er took her arm affectionately, her eyes sparkling, "Since you are back, why don't we move to the attic tonight? The weather is just right now. When winter comes, it will be too cold to live up there." She shook Jing Chunxi's arm, full of anticipation.
This hit the spot exactly where Jing Chunxi wanted to be. She was even more eager than Ling'er to experience her new territory, especially the attic that Xu Zize had mentioned so carefully. She smiled and said, "That's exactly what you're thinking, sister! Let's go take a look and see if there's anything missing. We'll quickly have someone add it and move in tonight!"
"Why would I need to look?" Ling'er raised her little face proudly, as if she was proud of it. "I help my sister keep an eye on it every day! The eldest prince came over personally for two days and watched as Nanny Gong arranged everything perfectly. The curtains, carpets, and furniture are all available. It is said that everything is designed according to my sister's preferences. I can sleep comfortably once I put it in!"
She actually didn't quite understand why her cousin cared so much about her sister, doing everything himself and being extraordinarily considerate and thoughtful, but she was happy to see such kindness and was genuinely happy for her sister.
Ever since Xu Zize personally took them to visit the Rong Enbo Mansion, which was about to be completed, Jing Chunxi's heart was hooked when she first saw the uniquely designed attic in her yard.
She had imagined countless times how comfortable and lazy it would be to be in the attic, bathed in sunlight or the stars and moon, leaning over the railing to gaze into the distance, sipping tea and chatting, or nestling in that dreamy pink and purple gauze that Xu Zize had specifically mentioned. That anticipation had already taken root in her heart.
The two girls chatted and laughed, holding hands, like two light butterflies, passing through the newly opened moon gate, flying from the back garden of Prince Jing's Mansion all the way into the backyard of Earl Rong'en's Mansion, and ran straight to the imaginative attic.
The wooden staircase creaked pleasantly, leading them to the upper floor. Pushing open the attic door, they were greeted by a sudden opening. The first thing that caught their eye was the wide, eaves-covered veranda. They hurried over, leaning against the carved railing to gaze out into the distance.
Behind me was the rippling lake, the sunlight scattering across the surface like golden fragments, the occasional fish leaping up, creating ripples. The covered bridge over the lake was reflected in the water, looking like a painting.
Turning to the other side, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful back garden of Prince Jing's Mansion next door, with pavilions, towers, colorful flowers, lush greenery, and a unique perspective, which is quite charming.
The breeze brings the fragrance of late summer grass and trees and the faint scent of flowers, which is refreshing.
After walking around the corridor and looking around enough, the two of them cast their eyes on the most eye-catching place in the attic - the huge bed covered with soft and transparent pink and purple gauze.
