The doctor kowtowed again before standing up: "Thank you, Princess Consort, Prince."
Long Rui: "Take the Princess Consort’s pulse and see if there’s good news?"
Doctor: "I obey, Your Grace."
The doctor put down the medicine box from his shoulder and earnestly took Xuexue’s pulse, but no matter how much he felt, he couldn’t find the pregnancy pulse! The Prince was looking at him eagerly, and the doctor was beating the drum in his heart, wondering if he would be beheaded if he said the Princess Consort wasn’t pregnant.
Gradually, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the doctor’s forehead.
Long Rui looked at the doctor expectantly, hoping to hear good news, but as time passed, the doctor was still checking the pulse, and Long Rui grew impatient: "Hey, hey, are you a doctor or not? Can you take a pulse? Why are you dawdling so much?"
The doctor had already finished checking the pulse but was only pretending for fear of being scolded by the Prince.
Upon hearing this, he immediately withdrew his hand and said: "Reporting to the Prince, the Princess Consort is in good health."
The doctor cleverly avoided the topic of pregnancy.
Who would have thought Long Rui would be relentless, asking: "Doctor, is the Princess Consort pregnant?"
Well, what can’t be avoided must be faced. At risk of being beheaded by the Prince, the doctor said: "Reporting to the Prince, the Princess Consort is not pregnant."
Long Rui fell silent.
The doctor shivered on the side, thinking, would the Prince get angry and behead him?
After a while, Long Rui mumbled: "How can it be? My wife and I have been married for so long, how can there be no children? And both of us are so healthy."
He felt that his wife had no sense of security with him, though he didn’t know why, he could just feel it. So, Long Rui always hoped they would have a child out of love, so his wife would feel secure. Now that Xuexue wasn’t pregnant, he couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.
Xuexue reached out and held his hand: "Prince, don’t be sad, we’ll have children in the future."
He was disappointed, not sad, he just wanted to strengthen his relationship with his wife, why was it so difficult?
Long Rui waved dismissively at the doctor and said weakly: "You may leave now!"
The doctor quickly kowtowed and withdrew. The steward stuffed a pouch of silver into his hands; it was the consultation fee, and everyone understood. The doctor didn’t dare to see how much silver it was, hastily tucked it into his chest, picked up his medicine box, and left without daring to lift his head.
"Prince, don’t be sad, we’ll have children in the future." Long Rui remained silent, and Xuexue comforted him.
Long Rui suddenly lifted his head, eyes shining as he looked at Xuexue, and she got goosebumps, unable to help but ask: "Prince, what are you looking at?"
Long Rui’s eyes sparkled: "Wife, let’s go make a baby."
Xuexue looked bewildered: "What?"
Long Rui said enthusiastically: "Let’s go make a baby."
At first, Xuexue didn’t understand. Not until laughter erupted around them did she realize what Long Rui meant, and her face blushed as she shyly said: "Naughty!"
Long Rui: "Wife, will you? Can you give me an answer?"
"How could I give an answer to something like this?" Embarrassed by the servants’ laughter, Xuexue was both annoyed and furious.
"Yes, yes, a matter like this should be initiated by your husband, wife, let’s go back to the room."
Saying this, Long Rui reached out to pull Xuexue, but unexpectedly, Xuexue slapped his hand away vigorously, saying: "Go away!"
The servants around them chuckled yet drew a sharp breath. How courageous was the Princess Consort to speak to the Prince like that, not fearing he would get angry.
Just as they thought the Princess Consort was in a precarious position, they heard the Prince’s reply and all fainted...
Long Rui: "Wife, after making a baby, your husband will roll away, what do you think?"
