How If (Dong Hua And Feng Jiu Story)

42. The confrontation of the two wives

It's a very bright morning as Bai Qian sat down on the pundarika in the middle of the peach garden, which is a miniature imitation of Zhe Yan's peach garden. Nay nay had already served tea and snacks and she was so relaxed breathing in the fresh air and feeling the breeze on her face. It had been three hundred days since the Feng Jiu and Gungun incident. If Goddess Zuti's prediction was not wrong, then her niece and grandson would return in two hundred days. Ah, it's likely that the baby was already born at that time. Bai Qian prayed that Feng Jiu will return before the baby's birth. After all, it was her niece who took care of her womb all this time. Bai Qian also wanted Feng Jiu to accompany her during childbirth. In fact, Bai Qian wanted Feng Jiu to be the first to hold the baby. Bai Qian didn't care if other people think her thoughts are weird. Usually the baby's father should carry the baby first after the mother, but Bai Qian brushed it off. Ye Hua didn't mind either.

Bai Qian sighed again. She looked down as she felt her stomach tighten. False contractions were becoming more common these days. She smiled and stroked her belly, hummed and then monologued, "Can't you wait to be born, huh? My Baby, please be patient, okay? We'll wait for your queen sister first." Bai Qian chuckled then, "I don't know if you'll call her, Queen Sister or Dihou of Dong Hua Dijun." Bai Qian sighed again, "Ah,I don't know what that little fox saw in Dong Hua Dijun. How could she be so infatuated with him. A Stiff old stone." She blushed when she realized that she was also no better than her niece. She is also very infatuated with Ye Hua. Then, She looked down and rubbed her belly again, "Are you going to be like us in the future? No, no... I beg you not."

Her hand reached for the teapot, poured its contents into the cup and drank it. "Ah, this tea is fine even if it's not as good as Xiao Jiu's." She then called Nay nay who had been standing behind her. "Nay nay, did Xiao Jiu ever teach you how to brew tea when we stayed in Qin Que?"

The loyal servant bowed respectfully, "Forgive me, Your Majesty. During this time, the young queen did not allow me to hold the tea mixture."

Bai Qian also smiled hearing that. "It must be because of Dijun." She sighed after that, "Ah, like husband like wife. I want to see if the little queen will keep the secret of tea concoction when I ask for it."

"Pardon me, Your Majesty. Judging by the young queen's personality, it seems she will keep it a secret."

Bai Qian sighed again. "Okay, you can even judge her character. I miss her even more." She turned to Nay Nay then, "Nay nay, do you think... Is goddess Zuti's prediction correct that Xiao Jiu will come in about two hundred days?"

"I'm not even sure, Your Majesty. Let's just pray that it happens."

"Yes, only prayer can calm us down." Bai Qian faced the table again then took a piece of cake and devoured it. The cake wasn't as good as Feng Jiu's. She sighed again.

Speaking of cakes, Bai Qian was reminded of Lady Lexu. The woman had visited her a month ago. Lexu visited her with a maid who brought a box of cakes. A visit that made Bai Qian felt bad because she should be the one visiting Lexu as a daughter-in-law.

Bai Qian was even surprised to see Lexu's growing belly. She just found out that her mother-in-law was pregnant right then and there. Lexu's face was pale even though there was a glint of happiness in her eyes. Bai Qian also realized the possibility that Lexu was also having difficulties in this pregnancy. Moreover, she is no longer young. Ah, Bai qian even realized that maybe, her mother-in-law was the same age as her.

Bai Qian also remembered that she received Lady Lexu in this place. Bai Qian remembered that Lexu was sitting across the table, right in front of her while adjusting her belly that looked bloated with the distance between the bench and the table and Lexu smiled when she had managed to sit comfortably on the bench. "Sorry if I interrupt your time, Crown Princess."
