But it's normal. Drinking tonic soup for more than half a month in a row would be an overdose even for an ordinary person, let alone a man in his prime.

During this period, Ying Zheng was very busy with the reform and the war, and he lost a lot of weight.

When Chu Yuening learned about this, she felt deeply distressed. She personally made nourishing soup every day and sent people to deliver it to Zhangtai Palace, urging him to drink it.

Ying Zheng felt both sweet and helpless about his wife's loving nourishing soup.

He practiced martial arts all year round and was in good health. He wouldn't be exhausted after a month's hard work, but he was reluctant to waste his wife's kindness.

After drinking the last mouthful of nourishing soup, the emperor's handsome face flushed, as if he was drunk.

He ordered someone to remove the soup bowl, and drank a cup of tea to clear his heart and reduce internal heat, which finally suppressed the heat in his body.

At this time, outside the window, the sun was setting in the west and the sky was bright with brilliant rays of light.

While reviewing the remaining memorials, Ying Zheng was thinking about going back and telling his wife not to work so hard making soup.

After the reform, government efficiency was greatly improved, so he completed his official business quickly.

As soon as he returned to Qinian Palace, he saw his wife and daughter fighting wits and courage again.

The little guy jumped up and down nimbly. The woman, who was usually gentle and quiet, raised her eyebrows and chased after him in a rage.

"Mom, I don't want to drink. I don't want to drink."

"You work so hard every day practicing martial arts, how can you do that without adequate nutrition?"

"I want to lose weight. I won't be pretty if I gain weight."

"Nonsense, why would a child lose weight? You're as white and tender as a sticky rice dumpling now, so cute!"

The mother and daughter were chasing each other, and a little boy with delicate features was reading a book nearby. He looked calm and composed, and it was obvious that he was used to this.

Just as he was about to be caught by his mother, Ying Luan happened to see his savior and hurriedly sought help.

"Father, save me!"

Ying Zheng caught the "little cannonball" running towards him, and then put his other arm around his furious wife and persuaded her gently.

"Yuening, since Luan'er doesn't like soup, let's ask the Imperial Food Bureau to prepare some nourishing meals that she likes."

"Hmph, just pamper this little demon star. He doesn't even take care of himself at such a young age."

Chu Yuening pinched the little guy's slightly lost baby fat, and was so angry that she glared at her accomplice.

When Ying Luan saw that his father was taking the blame, his big black eyes rolled around, and then he took the opportunity to slip away quietly.

Ying Zheng naturally noticed some conscienceless behavior, but he was busy coaxing his wife and had no time to settle the score.

He held her slender hands and kissed her white and tender fingers. The soft and delicate kiss was full of tenderness.

"Yuening, please don't cook soup yourself from now on. I know you mean it, but I can't bear to let you do it."

"Let Luan'er do as she pleases. The Imperial Food Bureau will take care of everything. Otherwise, what's the point of hiring those chefs?"

"I was just giving orders to the cooks verbally, it wasn't really hard work at all."

Chu Yuening met those burning eyes filled with heartache, and timidly lowered her eyelids, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly, like a butterfly flapping its wings to fly.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but reach out and touch it, the tingling sensation spread from his fingertips to the tip of his heart.

"Okay, Yue Ning, don't make me feel sad."

"Huh, you're still talking about me? You've lost weight yourself."

"Thanks to Yue Ning's tonic soup, I'm now as vigorous as a dragon and a tiger. Why don't you give me a test tonight?"

"Ah, damn, the kids are still here..."

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you. Let's talk about it tonight."

......

The couple flirted with each other, and the palace was filled with sweet pink bubbles. The two children were already used to the unexpected dog food from their parents.

Ying Luan watched the fun while eating snacks with gusto and joking with a smile.

"Mom is so easy to coax. Is this what Yi Yi meant by 'love-brain'?"

"Sister, be careful with your words. If mother hears you, I'll deduct three days' worth of snacks from you."

"It's okay (chew chew) Xiao Ying'er will bring it to me (chew chew), brother, do you want some? This lotus pastry is good (chew chew)"

"No, can you still eat dinner later?"

"Burp~"

With the cool breeze, bright moon and the singing of summer cicadas, summer nights are indescribably comfortable and relaxed.

After the family finished their dinner and ate some cool and sweet watermelon, they went back to their rooms to rest.

After Chu Yuening finished her shower, she lazily rested her head on the man's thighs, enjoying the attentive hair-wiping service, while her hands were dishonestly kneading his firm and elastic abdominal muscles.

She raised her head and stared at the man's not-too-sharp jaw. She felt relieved in her heart, but smiled and teased him.

"It seems that all those nourishing soups were not in vain. My housekeeping baby has indeed gained some weight."

Hearing such an extremely shameful name, a trace of helplessness crossed Ying Zheng's mature and steady face.

Who could have imagined that he, a tall and strong man, a man of integrity, a king with the power of life and death, was secretly called such a childish name by his wife.

If I tell anyone about it, I'm afraid I'll lose all my face.

However, Yue Ning said that this was a nickname used between husband and wife in her world, and he had no choice but to accept it.

You can't let your wife call someone else baby, right?

Between face and his wife, Ying Zheng decisively chose the latter.

He carefully wiped the three thousand strands of black hair of the person in his arms, his eyes fell on her beautiful face that was as bright as a lotus flower, then moved to her tempting red lips, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

Seeing that the man remained silent for a long time, Chu Yuening raised the corners of her eyes slightly, and ripples flowed in her beautiful eyes, exuding an alluring and charming charm.

She stretched out her snow-white arms and wrapped them around the man's neck. Her soft and plump body wrapped around him like a beautiful snake, and her red lips held his earlobe, licking and biting it.
