Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Two at Once?_1

After Li Wuyu escorted them outside the Imperial Capital, Li Wuyu took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to An Jing, saying, ”Master, this is for you to give to my baby.”

”Alright,” An Jing didn’t ask anything else and simply put the letter away.

”Master, Dad, you are really leaving now,” Li Wuyu’s eyes were slightly red. Apart from her father, her master cared for her the most.

An Jing nodded, and then, although it was stating the obvious, she still couldn’t help but caution, ”Wuyu, your father’s position is not an easy one. There are times when you can act willfully, but in some matters, you must be cautious with your words and actions. Don’t hurt yourself, nor your father.”

”Master, don’t worry, I understand all this.”

An Jing nodded again, looked at her disciple Li Wuyu with a bit of sadness for a while, then boarded the carriage.

After getting comfortably seated in the carriage, she waved to Li Wuyu, ”Wuyu, your Dad and I are leaving. If there comes a day when you need our help, and if we can help, we will.”

Li Wuyu said gratefully, ”Thank you, Master, Dad. I wish you both a smooth journey.”

...

Because An Jing was pregnant, Xiao Changyi didn’t dare to let the carriage go too fast. It took a full two and a half months to travel from the Imperial Capital to Sixteen Town in Hecheng County, and An Jing was already more than three months pregnant.

What surprised the Imperial Physician was the speed at which An Jing’s belly showed.

Although she was only a little over three months pregnant, her belly swelled as though she were four or five months along.

This Imperial Physician had been taking her pulse along the journey, and it wasn’t until they were almost at Hecheng County that he took her pulse again at an inn. Finally, he was certain and reported to Xiao Changyi, ”Prince, it seems that the Princess is carrying twins.”

Xiao Changyi: ”...” He felt one was already early enough, and now two at once?

An Jing, however, was very happy but also somewhat incredulous, ”Really?”

The Imperial Physician said solemnly, ”Absolutely certain.”

When An Jing heard this, she was even more delighted and hurriedly said to Xiao Changyi, ”Husband, quickly give Doctor Jiang a big red envelope.”

Indeed, the Imperial Physician accompanying them was the same Doctor Jiang who had gone with An Jing to the Pingjun Prince’s Mansion before.

Hearing this, Xiao Changyi was silent for a moment before he looked at Meng Zhuqing, who immediately gave Doctor Jiang a big red envelope.

Upon receiving the red envelope, Doctor Jiang said, ”Thank you, Prince, Princess, for the reward.”

”That’s right,” An Jing suddenly remembered something. ”Last time Doctor Fang said I might be carrying twins, I said if I was carrying twins, I would also give him a big red envelope. Doctor Jiang, please deliver this big red envelope to Doctor Fang on my behalf.”

”As you wish,” Doctor Jiang respectfully answered.

This time, Meng Zhuqing didn’t need a cue from Xiao Changyi, and quickly gave Doctor Jiang another big red envelope, instructing him to give it to Fang Shicai when he returned to the Capital.

Carrying twins made An Jing ecstatic. When Fang Shicai had said so before, it was uncertain, and she hadn’t taken it to heart. Now that it was confirmed she was carrying twins, she was truly delighted.

Doctor Jiang left, and soon Meng Zhuqing also excused himself, closing the door behind An Jing and Xiao Changyi.

”Husband, you are truly amazing, to have placed two babies in my belly at once,” An Jing said, tilting her face upwards, her smile brimming with delight.

Xiao Changyi was silent for a while, then he looked down at her belly, and after a long moment, he said in an indescribable tone, ”Really, twins?”

”Weren’t you there when Doctor Jiang said it was twins? Why are you still asking me?”
