It's good that Yu Nanqing has regained feeling in her legs, but it's too early to celebrate. The most important thing is whether she can fully recover her leg function. During this time, Emperor Yuanhe and the Eldest Princess must not find out.

"Yes!" Wang Zhang immediately understood the importance of this, and his expression became serious and firm.

Your Majesty is right, now is not the time to get excited.

He's been through so much, big and small, following the prince around, yet he still can't stay calm!

"From now on, you will transfer all the people from the main courtyard out and have trusted people guard the main courtyard gate. No one is allowed to enter without permission."

"yes!"

"Please ask the carpenter who made Yu Nanqing's wheelchair to come over first thing tomorrow morning. I have some things I need him to do."

"yes."

"Today is the Winter Solstice. There may be an imperial invitation from the palace. You don't need to inform me; just refuse it. There will be a New Year's banquet after the Winter Solstice; cancel all of those as well."

"Yes." Wang Zhang responded to whatever Su Wanyan instructed, memorizing each and every one of her commands.

"I haven't thought of anything else yet. Anyway, Master Wang, you can handle it. It might be a bit tough for you in the near future."

"It's no trouble at all. It's an honor for this old servant to serve Your Majesty!"

He never imagined that meeting Su Wanyan could save the prince from a desperate situation. Meeting her and working for her was the most worthwhile thing he had ever done in his life.

Thinking this, Wang Zhang's excitement surged up again, and he immediately composed himself, looking up and asking, "Your Majesty, now that the Spring Festival is approaching, should we keep all the preparations for the Spring Festival simple?"

"It can be simplified, but the Spring Festival should still have some atmosphere." This is her first Spring Festival since she traveled through time, and she wants to celebrate it properly and also as a memento.

Moreover, it's the Lunar New Year, so the people in the mansion should be festive; otherwise, it's as if the New Year hasn't been celebrated at all.

Wang Zhang understood: "Yes."

"Go."

"Yes." Wang Zhang accepted the order and withdrew.

At dawn that day, before daybreak, all the servants who were doing odd jobs in the main courtyard were woken up by Wang Zhang's men from the side rooms and transferred out of the main courtyard.

Now, only Tanaka, Akiba, and Koyo are left in the main courtyard to serve Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan.

After Wang Zhang transferred these people out, he personally checked the main courtyard again to make sure there was no one else there. Then he sent two guards to stand guard at the entrance of the main courtyard, and no unauthorized personnel were allowed to enter.

After arranging these things, Su Wanyan looked at the sky and estimated the time. Feeling that she could sleep a little longer, she went into the main room.

Inside the room, Yu Nanqing lay on the bed, not asleep, while Tian Zhong stood guard. The two grown men, one standing there like a wooden statue, the other sleeping on the bed like a wooden statue, remained silent to each other.

Unlike Yu Nanqing, Tanaka kept wanting to ask something, but Yu Nanqing's thoughts had long since drifted far away, and he couldn't notice Tanaka's expression at all.

Yu Nanqing was excited and found it hard to calm down. He could only keep repeating Su Wanyan's words to himself: Don't get excited, don't get excited.

Upon seeing Su Wanyan enter, Yu Nanqing's eyes lit up, only to be stopped by her raising her hand: "Don't call me unless it's necessary, I want to sleep."

People need food to survive; you'll feel exhausted if you don't sleep for a day.

And so, under Yu Nanqing's expectant gaze, she entered the side room.

Yu Nanqing: "..."

The Winter Solstice is considered as important as the Lunar New Year, and ancestor worship ceremonies are indispensable on this day. On the Winter Solstice, people drink homemade rice wine, and those who can afford it will also slaughter a chicken to celebrate.

The capital city is bustling, and its people come from all over the country. Their customs vary, but they all share a common origin. Drinking rice wine, eating tofu, cooking ginger rice, and eating roast meat are all folk customs.

On this day, among the dishes that Qiu Ye brought to the main courtyard of Prince Gong's Mansion, there was also mutton soup and glutinous rice balls.

After finishing breakfast, Wang Zhang brought the old craftsman who made the wheelchair with him.

Today is the winter solstice. Normally, the master craftsmen don't open their shops, but when they heard it was Su Wanyan's request, they immediately brought their tools and came over.

The reason is simple: Su Wanyan gave a lot of money.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, making more money for a prosperous year is definitely the right thing to do.

Su Wanyan greeted him in the flower hall: "Master Niu, it's been a long time."

She greeted us first.

Niu Da was flattered and hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects: "This humble subject greets Your Highness the Princess. I am deeply grateful for Your Highness's kindness in remembering this humble subject."

He thought that someone of Su Wanyan's status would never remember a commoner like him.

"Master Niu, get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Su Wanyan laughed and said, "Master Niu, what are you saying? Isn't the wheelchair that the Prince uses the one you made? Every time I see that wheelchair, I am reminded of Master Niu's ingenious craftsmanship."

"Oh, Your Majesty, you are making me feel so ashamed."

Su Wanyan cut to the chase: "I called Master Niu here this time because there are a few things I need you to do."

"Your Majesty, please give your orders."

Su Wanyan handed over several blueprints from the small table.

Niu Da glanced at them briefly. These...aren't they all very simple?

Any carpenter in the city could make these things, but Su Wanyan specifically asked him. Niu Da was extremely grateful and immediately bowed respectfully: "May I ask where Your Highness intends to build these things, and is there a deadline?"

"The sooner the better, of course."

“Today,” Niu Da confidently stated, “this humble subject will be able to complete all of these tasks today.”

"Okay." Originally, those things weren't very difficult. Compared to Yu Nanqing's wheelchair before, the difficulty was negligible.

However, it is winter now, and it has started snowing outside, which will greatly hinder the construction process.

But Master Niu said he could finish it in a day, which Su Wanyan thought was the best, since it would be very inconvenient for Master Niu to stay in the mansion for too long.

"Guard Tian," Su Wanyan called out, and Tian Zhong entered from outside the door.

Su Wanyan instructed, "Take Master Niu to find Wang Zhang. If there is anything you need, ask Master Wang to provide it."

"yes."

Tanaka took Niu Da away.

As always, Su Wanyan gave Yu Nanqing acupuncture, massage, and foot reflexology.

Since Yu Nanqing regained feeling in his legs, Su Wanyan added joint exercises when massaging him, which literally means lifting his feet and moving them around.

Sometimes you need to use your body position to loosen your joints.

Every time Su Wanyan loosened Yu Nanqing's bones, she would be covered in sweat, while Yu Nanqing's face would turn bright red. The two were completely on different wavelengths.

As the New Year approached, although Prince Gong's Mansion did not hold a grand celebration, there were still many things that Su Wanyan needed to decide.

For example, the menu for the New Year's Eve dinner needs to be reviewed by Su Wanyan. Only if Su Wanyan agrees will the chefs in the kitchen prepare the food according to the menu during the New Year.

The Prince's mansion only had two masters and not many servants, but the menu presented was dazzling. Su Wanyan picked out some of them, and then had Wang Zhang send the rest to the kitchen.
