CHAPTER 586: CHAPTER 188: THE ELDER PRINCESS HAS AN ACCIDENT, YE QICHI PROVIDES TREATMENT_3

Speaking of which, when she sent Anqi back to the Minister Mansion, Anqi was only a few months old. How could she remember that she was her own mother?

Her crisp calling melted her heart.

"The young madam told the little miss yesterday that the elder miss would be visiting the mansion. The little miss has been waiting at the entrance of the courtyard for the elder miss since early this morning," said the Maid eagerly.

"Then how did you recognize your mother?" Ye Qichi asked Anqi.

With her big eyes twinkling, Anqi’s tender voice spoke unclearly for quite a while.

Ye Qichi was taken aback.

She couldn’t understand.

The Maid quickly stepped forward to explain, "The little miss said, ’People she hasn’t seen before are her mother.’

Ye Qichi then quickly caught on.

Anqi’s intelligence was indeed a delightful surprise.

"Daddy." When Anqi saw Xiao Jinxing beside Ye Qichi, she sweetly called out.

Ye Qichi was amused by Anqi once again.

Her attention was all on Anqi and thus she did not notice Xiao Jinxing’s discomfort.

Clearly still a bit at a loss.

"Strangers are Daddy, right?" Ye Qichi asked Anqi.

Again, Anqi mumbled and muttered a bunch.

The Maid stepped forward to explain, "The little miss said, ’The man beside her mother is her father.’

Ye Qichi patted Anqi’s head.

How could she be so clever?

"These were all the things that the young madam told the little miss yesterday," said the Maid respectfully.

No wonder.

She had even thought that Anqi had turned into a spirit.

Being able to understand so much at just over a year old.

That was really something to be delighted about.

Considering her intelligence, she wouldn’t suffer even if she went out into the world.

"Where is my mother?" Ye Qichi, holding Anqi in her arms, asked the Maid.

"The young madam is in the room doing her postnatal confinement," the Maid quickly said, "The little young master is also sleeping beside the young madam, with the wet nurse by her side."

So it was a son.

This could make up for Qin Mengxi’s regret.

"I will go see my mother," Ye Qichi said, about to go in.

"Then I will take my leave first," Xiao Jinxing said.

"Then you take Anqi to play for a while," Ye Qichi casually handed Anqi to Xiao Jinxing.

Xiao Jinxing’s face clearly darkened.

Ye Qichi pretended not to see it.

As she was leaving, she intentionally said, "She even called you ’Daddy’."

"..." Xiao Jinxing’s face got even darker.

Ye Qichi entered Qin Mengxi’s room.

Inside the room.

Qin Mengxi was already sitting up in bed.

She had heard the noise outside as well.

"Qi’er," Qin Mengyu hurriedly called to Ye Qichi.

Ye Qichi sat beside Qin Mengxi, glanced at her newly born brother, who wasn’t particularly handsome yet brought an indescribable sense of affinity, as if by blood relation.

She didn’t expect that by inhabiting Ye Qichi’s body, even her feelings would change a bit.

"Mother, how are you feeling?" asked Ye Qichi.

"I’m good," said Qin Mengxi, "I thought it would be hard to give birth at my age, but it turned out to be much smoother than when I had you."

"That’s good then."

"Did you just see Anqi?" Qin Mengxi suddenly asked.

"Yes, I saw her. I didn’t expect her to have grown so much," Ye Qichi said, feeling warmth in her heart when she spoke of Anqi.

Being a parent felt like this, huh?

Even though Anqi was not her biological child.

But when she called her mother, her heart softened quite a bit.

"At that time when she arrived, she was still in my arms, and now she can even run," Ye Qichi said.

"Anqi really is well-behaved, soft and sensible, even more lovable than you were as a child," Qin Mengxi clearly adored Anqi deeply.

"Don’t try to compete with me for Anqi because you think she’s adorable," Ye Qichi warned with a wary face, "You already have a son, don’t be greedy."

"You child," Qin Mengxi was somewhat speechless.

Her daughter’s personality had changed drastically since she got married.

But she had gotten used to it.

"I just want to ask, is there no good news between you and His Majesty yet?" Qin Mengxi couldn’t help but inquire.

"No," Ye Qichi replied frankly.

"Between the two of you..."

"Neither I nor His Majesty are keen on having children. Mother, don’t try to persuade me," Ye Qichi preempted Qin Mengxi’s words.

She knew that coming back would lead to the topic of having children.

"You just said Anqi is cute. Don’t you want to have a child as adorable as Anqi?"

"That wouldn’t be with His Majesty."

"Qi’er!" Qin Mengxi’s face turned pale with shock.

What a thing to say.

Ye Qichi couldn’t help but smile.

She knew this sort of talk could scare ancient people to death.

She said, "Alright, I know how to live well. Don’t worry about me. Now you’re in confinement, take good care of yourself so you don’t get any postpartum ailments."
