A Wind Mage! Wind Mage are very rare-- in the past 10 thousand years, there had been only 10 known Wind Mages, 4 who ascended and 5 who are at 8th rank and above-- the other one wasn't still publicly known--
Wind Mages are highly valued. Even the Royal Family would humble themselves in front of a Wind Mage, the Wind Mage has the highest potential of cultivating, and they rarely ever encounter a bottleneck, the lowest level that a Wind Mage could achieve is 9th rank, until the Saint rank.
Wind Mages were revered and envied, they all have high cultivation they only lack in the defense. Wind mages focuses on their attacks and escaping techniques.
Rui Wei couldn't help but think to herself-- why would a Wind Mage be willing to serve a person?
The little girl invoked the bored pregnant transmigrator's interest. Rui Wei quietly listed the little girl's face on the back of her mind-- An interesting target!
It'll be better that Rui Wei look into this little girl's origin, than later knowing that this little girl is actually a spy sent by the Emperor to watch over the General Dou's Manor. Although, Rui Wei don't really use any of her skill, and let her days pass peacefully, being a bit extra careful doesn't hurt.
"3rd Madam, please enjoy." The four finished arranging the food, they all lined up in the corner, ready to serve me anytime.
I slowly tasted the food, savoring it's taste.
'Delicious!' Rui Wei's eating speed rose up as she quickly, and elegantly stuff the food on her mouth and chew it quietly. The three maids were quite astonished at Rui Wei's eating speed, while her personal maid which tried to kill Madam Lou had a smug look on her face as if saying 'I know my Madam well.' Unfortunately, Rui Wei still do not know her name.
After Rui Wei finished eating, they also quickly clean everything and left. Rui Wei's dowry maid then entered carrying a water basin, they helped her wash Rui Wei's hand and change into sleeping wear, which is a 3 layer white gown.
After that, they respectfully bowed and left. Instead of sleeping, Rui Wei actually just lay on her bed and guide the water Qi through her veins and sometimes, guiding it towards the little guy on her stomach.
--
The sun rose, and so did Rui Wei. She didn't wait for her maids to wake her up, as she casually drape a pink robe over her night wear which is a three layered dress.
Rui Wei opened the door and surprisingly, a maid was already there (it was the one who tried to kill the 1st wife). This time Rui Wei scrutinized the maid in front of her, she has a healthy tanned skin, her face smooth, she has a slightly pursed lips, and a neutral eyes, her hair was neatly tied in a pony tail.
Rui Wei remembered that she did order this maid to prepare her bath before she woke up, Rui Wei tilted her head, as she almost forgot about it. Her mind was full of thoughts to get her own spacial ring.
"Madam, your bath has been prepared." The maid respectfully said as she extended her hand.
"Oh, is that so." Rui Wei took her extended hand and walked outside the room-- She drape a black cloth on Rui Wei, as it was quite chilly, and the bathroom is quite far from my room.
"What's your name?" Rui Wei asked in a neutral tone.
"Eh?!" After she heard Rui Wei's question, she froze and looked back at her, her face full of disbelief, but she soon regained her composure and sadly replied.
"This one is called Wu Sona...." She dejectedly said with her head bowed.
As Rui Wei and entourage walked on the hall. Wu Sona would sneak a glance at Rui Wei, then shift her gaze away.
'Aiyah, Sona your gaze is hurting this lady here, it's not my fault that I can't remember your name, It's just I don't want any attachments to people of this place, ok? This lady is just staying here for a short period of time.' Rui Wei internally shook her head.
-- Spirit Hot Spring, this was specially crafted after General Dou won a war with rebels. The Emperor especially invited several famed crafters to create this Hotspring.
Rui Wei's sky blue hair scattered on the hot spring adorned with the White petals of White rose, making it look dream like. The girl stared at her own reflection in the water, big watery eyes, small pointed nose, small cherry like lips, milky white skin, with a slightly red cheeks.
All in all, cute!
"Haaaaa--- Spirit Hot springs are the best~" This spirit hot spring has the purest Water Qi, that Rui Wei have absorbed ever since transmigrating over.
Rui Wei blankly stared at the mist. She started to control the mist and found that she have no difficulties on doing so.
Then she condensed the mist on her hands and tried to solidify it into ice. The mist started to take form and freeze, it slowly froze into a butterfly. Creating Ice from mist took more time than Rui Wei expected, she creased her brows.
'Meh, I'll just stick to my other techniques.'
--
After 3 minutes I got up and left the hotspring... In fact, pregnant woman should not bath in a since there are risk.. For normal pregnant woman. I'm a water mage, what could the risk be? I even absorbed the pure water qi.
As soon as Sona saw me, she quickly put the robe on me, and the other maids which I think Sona called; helped me dry my hair and get dressed. They simply tied the half-top of my hair into braids, and let the half-down, freely flow down on my knees.
Now then, let's set off to find that stinky steward, and have a good talk. The quicker I get my own spatial ring, the better. I also need it when I roam this world~
Lii is the Steward of General Dou's Manor, he is managing the financial affairs of the whole manor, until the 1st wife Madam Lou gets into a good shape. Lii is General Dou's bestfriend, a comrade in arms, but 5 years ago (or so the rumors go around) Lii was seriously wounded and cannot go into wars anymore, so General Dou offered Lii the steward position since Lii has quite a good brain.
"Um.. Madam Cheng-- about that...." Lii sat opposite of me, his expression quite troubled. I quietly sip my tea-- Guuh... bitter!
I endured the bitterness on my mouth. It is well known that I have a sweet tooth, why did the maids give me a tea?!
After I swallowed the bitter tea, I gave steward Lii a smile that did not reach my eyes.
"Was my request a bit too much, I wonder~"
"No-- Madam Cheng it's just that-- we only have the Yellow spatial ring.. So why not just wait until we get our hands on a blue one?" Steward Lii, said.
"I want the yellow one now. And just a send a word to my father, he should at least get me an Indigo spatial ring." My Father the prime minister should have the power to get his hands on an Indigo Spatial Ring.
Spatial rings are ranked into Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. In short in a rainbow manner, the Violet Spatial ring is indeed rare but still obtainable. The Indigo Spatial ring is quite common on noble houses, I bet ny fatger has one, as it's usually used by the head of the house.
I happily left Steward Lii's room, looking at my left hand, I satisfactorily smiled at the Yellow ring on my thumb. The yellow spatial ring has a (40x40) square room, although quite small, it's still satisfying to own one!

The days passed quite painfully, my contraction appeared. I, who almost never left her room, am now really stuck.
Until true labor, came-- The differences of contraction and labor are not that far, but the pain is almost the same.
I'm crying-- this is why... Uuuh.
"DOCTOR LOLA!! QUICKLY CALL DOCTOR LOLA!!" Sona shouted in panic, she was holding a basin of water, she sat on the side of the bed, and wiped Rui Wei's sweat.
The maids constant hurried footstep could be heard inside-out of the room. The door was left open, Sona clutched my hand--
"3rd Madam, they have already called for Doctor Lola, please don't worry." Sona was more anxious than me-- seeing her panicked reaction, and her hair that was neatly tied in a bun, is now slightly falling, several baby hairs were sticking on her sweaty face.
"Ahahahahah! No worries, no worries~ I'm the one giving birth." Rui Wei who is supposedly emotionless actually laughed in a situation where people would start getting nervous.
Rui Wei's face contracted as she felt an immense pain.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!" Rui Wei screamed, scaring Sona that she almost jumped, but Sona's hands were clutched by Rui Wei, Sona almost cried in pain at Rui Wei's grip on her hand.
