668 Prince Lóng Wei has become a father

Huang Xi dried his hands with the towel and thanked Xiaolian for giving him her precious time. "Princess Xiaolian is truly talented," he asserted and put the towel on the table, and he grabbed the sword.

"Oh, there is clay on Commander Huang Xi's cheek," Xiaolian told him.

Huang Xi rubbed his cheek when Xiaolian asked her to move his fingers down. "Not there," Xiaolian said, "to the slight left."

"Where? Is there any mirror here?" Huang Xi asked.

Xiaolian shook her head and stepped toward her. She lifted her hand and wiped the clay from his cheek. She lowered her hand and took a step back.

"Thank you, Princess Xiaolian," Huang Xi said and asked her how long it would take for the bowls to dry.

"Two days," Xiaolian replied. "However, I would recommend Commander Huang Xi to give more attempts to bring the right shape to the bowl. There is still time for his mother's birthday," she suggested.

Huang Xi nodded his head and agreed with her suggestion. They both came out of the pottery house and headed to the main palace. Huang Xi bowed to Xiaolian as they entered the main palace and told her he would see her tomorrow. He went in the other direction while Xiaolian went to see Ai Fen.

"What were you doing with Xiaolian?" Lóng Wei asked Huang Xi, who encountered the prince after walking a few meters.

"I asked Princess Xiaolian to teach me pottery," Huang Xi replied.

Lóng Wei had an amusing smile which made Huang Xi a bit conscious and asked him why the prince was giving him that kind of smile.

"Because Huang Xi is getting close to a woman," Lóng Wei answered, which made Huang Xi chuckle.

"His Highness is thinking wrong. My mother's birthday is near, so I thought to learn it from the Third Princess," Huang Xi gave an explanation.

Lóng Wei put his arm around Huang Xi's shoulder and started walking along with him. "You could have learned from a professional potter in the capital. Why Xiaolian?" Lóng Wei questioned him with a smirk.

"Because my duty is in the palace most of the time, Your Highness," Huang Xi answered.

"I am getting this intuition that you will fall in love with Xiaolian," Lóng Wei stated and his smile widened.

"Prince Lóng Wei is assuming wrong," Huang Xi stated.

"It is intuition, Huang Xi," Lóng Wei asserted.

"Let's see if His Highness's intuition comes true or not," Huang Xi muttered and asked Lóng Wei if he celebrated Li Hua's birthday well.

"Her birthday passed so many days ago. You are asking now," Lóng Wei was a bit startled by his question. "Her birthday went well. She loves everything I give her. We went out to a secret place and spent our day there," Lóng Wei stated.

"Everyone is awaiting good news from Her Highness Princess Consort Li Hua," Huang Xi stated. "I heard two days ago the palace servant speaking about it," he affirmed.

"Who? Don't they have any work to do? They need a punishment," Lóng Wei stated.

"Prince Lóng Wei got married the earliest. Perhaps that is why they were speaking," Huang Xi stated.

"Your Highness!"

They both halted and Lóng Wei withdrew his arm from Huang Xi's shoulder. He saw the maidservant was gasping for air.

"What happened?" Lóng Wei asked.

"Princess Consort Li Hua suddenly fainted," the maidservant replied.

Lóng Wei did not wait for a second and ran to his manor while Huang Xi went behind him. He caught his breath when he reached the bedchamber and saw Physician Peng.

"What happened?" Lóng Wei looked at the maidservant, who was appointed in Li Hua's service.

"I do not know, Your Highness. Her Highness was crushing the dry flowers and she went to bring an incense stick holder when she fainted," the maidservant replied with a fearful expression.

Lóng Wei went to Peng Yuxian and asked him if Li Hua was alright.

"I am checking the pulse, Your Highness. It may take me a few minutes," Peng Yuxian replied.

Huang Xi also reached the chamber, but he did not go inside the bedchamber.

Lóng Wei joined his both hands. His heart was strangely pounding against his chest. His eyes remained fixated on Li Hua's face.

"We had a proper meal in the morning. She does not skip any of his meals either. Is it because of weakness?" Lóng Wei could not stay quiet for a long time.

A smile was carved on Peng Yuxian lips and he got up. Lóng Wei asked him why he was smiling as he got a bit angry.

"I am overjoyed to inform Prince Lóng Wei that Princess Consort Li Hua is carrying his child," Peng Yuxian said.

"What did you say?" Lóng Wei asked. He was unable to believe his ears.

"Her Highness is pregnant, Your Highness," Peng Yuxian stated.

Lóng Wei started smiling and ended up hugging Peng Yuxian tightly. The maidservant present in the bedchamber went outside to give the news to the King and the Queen.

Lóng Wei started jumping with happiness while Peng Yuxian asked him to let him go as he was unable to breathe. Lóng Wei let go of him and apologized. "How can I hold this happiness?" He muttered when Huang Xi walked in and congratulated him by giving a tight hug to the prince.

"Prince Lóng Wei has become a father," Huang Xi said.

"Yes. I became a father," Lóng Wei said and tears welled up in his eyes.

Peng Yuxian remembered how he once was against Lóng Wei. Time changed so fast. He was happy for Lóng Wei.

Huang Xi pulled away from the hug and saw the tears in Lóng Wei's eyes. "It is an occasion of happiness," he told Lóng Wei.

"Ha-happiness," Lóng Wei murmured and turned to Peng Yuxian.

"When she will be awake?" Lóng Wei asked.

"Soon, Your Highness," Peng Yuxian replied with a smile.

"Lóng Wei!" Qiu Qizhen's voice fell into Lóng Wei's ears. He turned to face his father and walked to him.

Qiu Qizhen embraced his son and the tears poured down Lóng Wei's cheeks. He never knew this euphoric feeling would be unexplainable to him. He thanked God for granting this wish of his.
