Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Chapter 67: Pregnancy

Dujuan had been in the mansion for eight years. Although she was only a mere maid, she had some ways. At noon on the fifth day of the seventh month, the sun was shining brightly on the ground and made the ground reflected brightly. The maids and old women all hid in the shade to enjoy the coolness while Dujuan led a young manservant with ice walked quickly into the Jianjia courtyard.

As soon as the door was closed, Du Juan immediately took the ice basin in the hands of the young manservant, and apologized repeatedly, "Doctor, please forgive me. Our master can't help it at the very moment and caused you to feel wronged."

The man dressed as a young manservant was the doctor. He straightened the unfitting hat on his head and said, "There's no harm. Doctors treat patients like their parents. Let's go see the patient first."

This doctor was found from outside. He was willing to enter the mansion with so much trouble to see a patient because, on one hand, it was due to the doctor's compassion, and on the other, more importantly, Tang Shishi had given enough money for consultation.

Tang Shishi has no other advantages, except that she was not short of money. Even if she could not bring too many banknotes into the imperial palace, she did not lack money.

At this moment, the bead curtain in the room was hanging low and Tang Shishi slowly stretched out her wrist through the hazy smoke curtain. The doctor also understood the taboos of these rich families. He avoided her eyes, did not look at the blurry shadows behind the curtain, and concentrated on checking the pulse.

The doctor checked it for a while, hesitated a little, and asked, "Madam, can i check your other hand?"

When Tang Shishi heard what he called her, her heart was half cold. She silently switched her other hand without saying a word. The doctor only responded after a little while, then he stood up as he cupped both his hands, "Congratulations, Madam. It's a happy pulse."

Normally, this was a happy event. No matter which family, there was no unhappiness in diagnosing a happy pulse. The doctor was ready to hear the excitement, but unexpectedly, the room was as quiet as ever, even a little tense.

The doctor was surprised. He could not help but raise his eyes secretly to look behind the hazy smoke curtain. The silhouette quietly leaned on the pillow, as if she had not heard the result. The maid who brought him in stared at the person behind the bed curtain, almost crying nervously.

The doctor became ever more puzzled and did not understand what was going on. After a while, a jade-like female voice sounded, "Are you sure?"

The doctor was stunned when he was asked this. The diagnosis of the happy pulse was a great blessing. Ordinary people would be very happy and people in the prince's mansion should regard children as even more important. Why according to this madam's tone if she was expecting him to give a negative answer?

The doctor did not dare to get involved with the affairs of their mansion. He hung his head lower and fixed his eyes on the ground, "It may not be accurate in the first two months. My medical skills are low, and there may be some mistakes in the diagnosis. Madam, it's better to ask an expert again next month. You will know at that time whether it's true or not."

"I understand." Tang Shishi leaned behind the curtain and looked forward with a despondent expression, "Today's weather is extremely hot and the doctor had a hard time entering the mansion. Dujuan, you go prepare the red packet for the doctor to buy some tea to relieve the summer heat."

Dujuan was stunned. She looked at the doctor and then at Tang Shishi, vaguely felt that Tang Shishi wanted to send her away. Dujuan wanted to say something but she stopped. In the end, she felt that she should trust Tang Shishi, so she went out.
