Chapter 26 Madam Urges the Birth
Chunhui Hall.
When Song Zhiyuan and his wife arrived together, Song Ci was arranging a table under the grape arbor in the backyard with a few maidservants. A pure white tablecloth embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns spread over the table, with a few exquisite snacks and a set of sky-blue porcelain teaware. A fair-skinned and beautiful maid was sitting by the table brewing tea.
As for the main character, Song Ci, she was holding a small pair of silver scissors, squatting without any regard for her image in front of the flowerbed, clipping a few longevity flowers, and placing them in a wide-bellied porcelain vase. She arranged them casually yet artfully on the table.
"Madam, the Prime Minister and Madam have arrived," Nanny Gong reminded Song Ci.
Song Ci looked up and indeed saw the couple approaching, with the maidservants bowing in greeting. She stood upright.
"May you be blessed, Mother," Madam Song bowed to Song Ci in greeting.
"Mother," Song Zhiyuan carefully examined Song Ci's complexion and was slightly relieved.
Her face was rosy, her spirits high; she had indeed improved a lot, allowing him to lay aside his worries.
Song Ci looked at the couple, the man elegant and charming, the woman dignified and graceful, of high status, having both children, truly the winners in life.
