Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

669  Such a kind soul [Bonus chapter]

Li Hua opened her eyes gradually and saw Lóng Wei in front of her. "I fainted suddenly," she said and tried to sit up. She found something odd. Lóng Wei's eyes were teary and she asked about it as she sat up.

Lóng Wei hugged her, thus taking her by surprise. "Did Prince Lóng Wei cry?" she asked.

"Of course. You have completed us," Lóng Wei said and withdrew to look at her.

"What?" Li Hua exclaimed.

Lóng Wei cupped her face between his palms, "Li Hua, you are carrying our child," he said.

Li Hua was shocked for a while. A smile carved on her lips and she again hugged him. "I am so happy, Your Highness," she said and she closed her eyes. Lóng Wei caressed her back until she pulled away.

"We need to prepare for a lot of things, Prince Lóng Wei," Li Hua stated.

"Of course, we have to. But before that, we need to think of you. You will not lift anything heavy, not wake up till late at night, eat only healthy meals and many more things. Everyone was here earlier and they told me what I need to do from now on. I will be by your side all the time, Li Hua," Lóng Wei pronounced. He brought his hand to the temple of her forehead and brushed her hair.

"The feeling is unexplainable, Li Hua. We will be parents soon. It is beautiful. A heavenly feeling," Lóng Wei said and leaned down to kiss her. She kissed him back and placed her hands on the sides of his face.

"I need to inform my brother about this," Li Hua said after they stopped kissing.

"Huang Xi has gone to inform Xu Zifan and Feng Lao about this. They soon will be here, I believe," Lóng Wei said. "Are you hungry? Should I bring something for you?" he asked.

"I am not hungry, Your Highness," Li Hua answered. "I was wondering if we should go to the shrine to pray. God has given us everything, Prince Lóng Wei, so must thank him," Li Hua opined.

"I am ready to go with you. I will make arrangements for this and then we will go tomorrow," Lóng Wei assured her.

"Let's visit His Highness's mother too. We need to share this news with her," Li Hua asserted.

"Now?" Lóng Wei asked.

"Hmm. I am not feeling tired or anything. I am good," Li Hua told him.

Lóng Wei agreed to take Li Hua to her mother's chamber. She put her feet down to wear the shoes when Lóng Wei got down on his knees. He made Li Hua wear the shoes. "I shall wash my hands first," he said and asked her to wait for him. Li Hua hummed and watched him leave.

The maidservant walked in and bowed to her. She, first, congratulated Li Hua and asked her if she needed any help.

"I wanted to brush my hair," Li Hua replied and went with her to the dressing room. The maidservant brushed her hair and also informed her soon a court lady be appointed in her service.

They both came out of the dressing room and saw Lóng Wei had also entered the chamber. "I will see you later," Li Hua told the maidservant and left with Lóng Wei to his mother's chamber.

Ai Fen was seated in the yard on the bench while seeing how Chang Shi listening to the patients and handing out the appropriate medicines to them.

"My Lord always distributes medicine for free to the people, who cannot afford them," the chief servant, Baobao, informed Ai Fen.

"He is such a kind soul. For how long has he been doing this work?" Ai Fen asked.

"It has been more than thirteen years, Your Highness," Baobao replied. "We all are happy about our lord's marriage with the Second Princess. He has spent so many years in loneliness," he said and recalled the time when Chang Shi used to get sick or upset. He had no one beside her. However, now Ai Fen was with her and soon would be his wife.

"Baobao, you have taken good care of your master," Ai Fen said and tilted her head to look at him. "Don't you want to marry too? You are also getting old," she said.

"Who will marry me, Your Highness? I am happy in serving my lord and will soon serve the princess too," Baobao stated.

"I believe there will be hundreds of women who want to marry a man like you. You can go to the matchmaking agency. You are thirty years old now, so you must not delay anymore," Ai Fen advised him.

"I will think about it, Your Highness," Baobao said.

"You should. Your lord will be happy to see you getting married," Ai Fen stated.

Baobao smiled and humbly told Ai Fen she should go inside as the sun was shining brightly.

"I like to watch Chang Shi," Ai Fen said and refused to go inside. By the mid-noon, Chang Shi's work was completed.

He got up from the patio where he was giving consultation to the patients and came toward Ai Fen. She stood up and stepped toward him.

They both held each other's hands. "You are such a wonderful person, Chang Shi. I fell for you again," Ai Fen said.

Chang Shi smiled at her praiseworthy words. "Why did the Princess stay outside? It is hot here," she stated.

"I wanted to watch you work, Chang Shi. Stay here. I will bring something to drink for you," Ai Fen stated.

"The servant will do the work," Chang Shi told her.

"But I want to bring it for you," Ai Fen said and asked him to wait for a while. She went toward the kitchen.

Baobao ran to his master and said, "The Second Princess is so in love with my lord. I am so excited about their marriage."

"I know. We will be married soon and then you have to get married too. You spent so many years serving me, Baobao," Chang Shi said.

"Her Highness was saying the same to me. I need to go to the matchmaking agency for that, but I am scared," Baobao stated.

"I will go with you," Chang Shi asserted.
