Perhaps because Marquis Chu was scared by his wife's previous childbirth, every time he saw her, the first thing he looked at was not her face, but her belly. When Chen Afu walked up to him, he smiled, "Your belly looks alright, not as large as before."
In reality, Chen Afu's belly compared to other pregnant women's was quite large. However, compared to when she was pregnant with her twin boys, it seemed smaller. Marquis Chu had never really paid attention to any other pregnant women's bellies, so Chen Afu's belly didn't seem huge to him. The smaller the child, the easier the birth would be.
Chen Afu, noting the happiness apparent in Marquis Chu's eyes, joked, "You seem so happy. Is there good news?"
Marquis Chu laughed, "Actually, there is. The Ninth Prince has added another brother and sister."
Indeed, this was great news. Last month, the Ninth Prince's consort had given birth to a son. Now, the Ninth Prince had two sons and a daughter. Dabao was safer now.
