Little Greenie seemed a little uncomfortable in her swaddling clothes. Bean Sixteen watched as she slightly furrowed her brows, a smile flashing across her eyes. This was indeed making things difficult for the little one.

"Come out and play for a while," Dou Shiliu said, shooing the eunuchs and maids out, closing the door, and turning around to uncover the cloth covering Xiao Lülü.

Little Green has grown a bit recently, but she looks no different from any other child, though her face is indeed exceptionally delicate.

Little Green rolled around on the bed a few times. It was so uncomfortable being in that swaddling clothes. The baby I saw that day was also wrapped up in the same way. It must have been incredibly uncomfortable. No wonder he cried.

Little Greenie propped herself up, looked at Bean Sixteen, stretched out her hand, and pouted in a coquettish tone: "Mommy, hug me~"

Dou Shiliu's pale eyes trembled slightly. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, his hand gently touching her stomach. "What have you been eating lately?"

With a gentle touch, Dou Shiliu calmly regulated the mixed spiritual energy inside Little Green's belly, asking questions in a low voice.

Little Green lay comfortably on the bed, thought for a moment, then frowned: "I recently ate the nectar Little Butterfly gave me."

Little Butterfly, that is, the group of butterflies

Little Green and the insects had a really good relationship. Bean Sixteen didn't know why she liked those butterflies and insects so much.

A soft knock sounded, and Dou Shiliu gently raised her eyes. "Come in."

Di'an Yan walked straight in, while Xiao Lü Lü, lying on the bed, blinked as she watched him enter.

He Yanyu held a full moon celebration.

"Hmm, did he extend a grand invitation to the Emperor?"

Di An Yan nodded, sat down in a seat not far away, and indifferently picked up the tea on the table and took a few sips.

"I was busy, so I didn't agree."

He Yanyu did not force him, after all, he was the king of a country, and agreeing to his request would only make him feel flattered.

Dou Shiliu nodded and said that they would also be holding a full moon celebration for Xiao Lülü soon.

...

The Crane Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, not only for Crane's full moon celebration, but also to commemorate his complete recovery from illness.

The gloom of the past month dissipated from the entire He family mansion, replaced by a joyous atmosphere. He Yanyu also hosted a banquet for court officials and invited some of the scholars who were still settled in the capital.

Under the steward's arrangement, the servants were busy running around, while He Yanyu and Ji Ya greeted the guests outside, and all sorts of gifts were moved from one side to the other.

Lively and bustling

He Yanyu and Ji Ya looked radiant, their joy amplified by the sight of their child. When the Emperor arrived, Chun'er's illness was cured, for which He Yanyu was deeply grateful.

Whatever the reason, He Yanyu became even more loyal to Emperor An Yan, while Ji Ya, who originally had no interest in the emperor or the court, was grateful for this action.

"I heard that Consort Xiu just gave birth, so I should send her some nourishing food," Ji Ya said, holding her quiet baby.

He Yanyu greeted the guests with a smile, and his wife's words naturally reached his ears. He couldn't help but smile and nod to the guests.

He Yanyu whispered beside her, "Alright, I'll ask His Majesty about it tomorrow, and then we'll go to the palace together."

Ji Ya smiled and nodded, changing the subject, and joined He Yanyu in greeting the guests.

A few days later, He Yanyu naturally obtained Di Anyan's consent, and then went with Ji Ya.

"Why are you carrying so much stuff?"

As soon as He Yanyu entered the door, he saw his wife carrying a bag filled with a lot of things, all sorts of odds and ends.

"My lady..." He Yanyu stepped forward, amused, to stop Ji Ya's actions, and said with a wry smile, "Consort Xiu's palace has everything she needs. You can just bring some simple, nourishing things into the palace."

Ji Ya raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and then shook her head: "These are tonics that I carefully selected, and they are no worse than those in the palace."

He Yanyu smiled as she watched Ji Ya chatter away for a few minutes, then stuffed all sorts of odds and ends into her pockets.

When they entered the palace, they were naturally subjected to a thorough search inside and out to ensure they were not carrying any contraband before being allowed to enter the inner palace.

Ji Ya whispered, "Getting into the palace is really troublesome."

He Yanyu squeezed her hand and whispered in her ear, "These are the rules of the palace. After all, everyone here is extremely noble, and it would be absolutely unacceptable for anything to go wrong."

Ji Ya pouted, tied the thin cloth covering her head, and muttered, "It's better outside. The rules here are too troublesome."

He Yanyu smiled and shook her head, then followed the eunuch into Yanhan Palace. In fact, Emperor An Yan wanted to give Dou Shiliu a courtyard, but Dou Shiliu refused, saying it was too much trouble, so Emperor An Yan gave up on the idea.

Following the eunuch's steps, Ji Ya slightly raised her eyes to survey the scene. Looking at the palace maids sweeping by the roadside and the seemingly endless backyard, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

According to He Yanyu, this Consort Xiu's original name was Su Xiu, the daughter of an official in a small town. She performed a dance at the Emperor's birthday banquet and was kept by the Emperor. Of all the women selected, Emperor An Yan's harem only had Su Xiu, which shows how much the Emperor loved this woman.

As Ji Ya's thoughts raced, she followed He Yan Yu to the front of the palace. A eunuch went to announce their arrival before they were allowed to enter.

Ji Ya picked up her bag and stepped inside. He Yanyu bowed first, and Ji Ya, who had learned some etiquette in the mansion, reluctantly bowed to Dou Shiliu.

Dou Shiliu looked up at them and nodded slightly. Then, palace servants came forward to give them wooden chairs and served them tea and snacks.

"Thank you, Consort Xiu."

Dou Shiliu nodded, his eyes falling on the pocket next to Ji Ya. Ji Ya quickly took it out and showed Dou Shiliu what was inside.

"Your Majesty, this is the best tonic we have in our area."

Dou Shiliu was slightly stunned. She hadn't expected that He Yanyu and the others had come to the palace to deliver these things to her. Although she hadn't given birth, she had made it public, so it was rare that they had such a thoughtful gesture.

Dou Shiliu naturally accepted it with a smile. Ji Ya also gave her a prescription. Dou Shiliu glanced at the herbs on the prescription and her lips twitched.

These are all medications that postpartum women should take, as well as things to replenish their bodies and help with blood loss.

Dou Shiliu accepted the gifts and also gave He Yanyu and the others some rewards.

"I heard from the Emperor that Minister He's son has recovered from his illness? Is he feeling any better?" Dou Shiliu lowered his eyes, reached out and lifted the teacup, flipped the tea leaves inside with the lid, and the fragrant aroma of tea wafted out.

Although He Yanyu knew perfectly well whether her son was alright or not, she still needed to find something to talk about.
