If he dares to run away before she gets tired of him, her fists will always be waiting for him.

Yin Tang might have been acting on a sixth sense or perhaps it was the intuition of a small animal.

His intuition told him that if he went along with his wife, he would have everything; but if he dared to go against her wishes…

Ouch! I can't even imagine!

He was afraid his little brother would be ruined!

"I love Yaoling the most, believe me, they are not worthy to be compared with you!" Yinzhen hurriedly declared, then turned to He Yuzhu and instructed, "Tell them to stay quietly in their own courtyard and not bother the Fujin! Otherwise, let them go back to their own homes!"

"Yes, ma'am!" He Yuzhu was now completely in awe of his wife.

Seeing Yinzhen's eagerness to claim credit, Xue Li smiled and led him to the study.

When Yinzhen saw that Xue Li was happy, he was happy too, and followed her happily.

Upon seeing Shirley's masterpiece, Yinzhen felt as if his head was filled with blood, and he felt like he was about to burst into smoke.

Yinzhen looked at Xue Li with some embarrassment: "Yao Ling, you, you bullied me, and you even drew it!"

"Don't you like it, Grandpa? Don't you want to live another ten or eight years, when we're old, to show our grandchildren and great-grandchildren what their ancestors looked like when they were young?"

Sherry's vision seemed promising, and Yinzhen almost believed it.

"But... how can we show this to others?!"

Yinzhen hugged Xue Li's neck, whimpering pitifully.

"Then, how about I paint your daily life another day? But you must spend a day with me, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to capture even a fraction of your charm!"

Sherry put it so nicely, and there was nothing he could do; Yinzhen's mouth was agape in a wide grin.

Why was Heshen so favored later on? Because he was the best at flattering people!

What was that saying again? Later surveillance cameras have blind spots, but his flattery didn't.

At this moment, Sherry felt that it was indeed interesting. After all, she was quite happy to receive positive emotional feedback from others.

Yinzhen was clearly overjoyed and at a loss for what to do, but he had to pretend to be calm.

"Alright then, since Yao Ling loves me so much, I'll wait for my day off to spend some quality time with you."

As he spoke, Yinzhen admired his own beauty while holding the painting. He decided in his heart to get up early the next day so he could savor his own beauty even more.

"This will be our secret base from now on, okay?!" Shirley saw that he really liked it, but didn't want to give it to him. She also wanted to come and visit it from time to time, and she even planned to keep it as a keepsake in the future.

Yinzhen nodded impatiently, put the painting down, and carried Xue Li back to his bedchamber.

Sherry originally intended to let him off the hook today, but thinking about his hesitation earlier, she felt that he still had too much energy.

The two started their evening program.

Yin Tang was actually quite tired, but he dared not and would not say it.

Yin Tang: A real man never says no!

Shirley waited for him to sleep, and Yinzhen waited for Shirley to sleep as well.

Then the two of them competed for a whole night.

The next day, Yinzhen was somewhat listless.

Feeling a little guilty, Shirley arranged for the kitchen to prepare a nourishing soup for him.

Yinzhen went out happily and returned happily.

That night, Sherry didn't touch him.

Yinzhen looked at Xue Li with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.

"My lord, I need to go to the palace to visit my mother tomorrow, so let's retire early tonight!"

It was only after being reminded by her maid that Shirley remembered her kind mother-in-law.

I wonder if Consort Yi will be unhappy that I haven't visited in so long?

After thinking for a moment, Sherry decided to send a set of her own skincare products.

No woman in this world can resist becoming beautiful.

With that thought, Sherry felt relieved and drifted off to sleep.

At dawn, Shirley was to go to the palace to pay her respects to Consort Yi.

So she got up quite early and dressed herself up beautifully.

She also brought with her the glass lamps that Yinzhen had bought, various jewelry, and skincare products that Xue Li had prepared to the palace.

Sydney, this familiar surroundings...

After sitting for a while at Yikun Palace, I followed Consort Yi to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager treated everyone equally and asked them all questions.

Sherry's fluent Mongolian impressed the Empress Dowager.

Consort Yi looked at Xue Li with great satisfaction. She also glanced almost imperceptibly at the other concubines present.

Sherry sat with the Empress Dowager for a while, and the Empress Dowager even praised her recipe for making delicious dishes.

Shirley then realized that it was probably the Tenth Prince's wife who had visited the Empress Dowager in the palace.

Perhaps because of the mutual friends, Sherry relaxed a bit and even suggested ways to make milk tea taste better.

Perhaps due to her advanced age, the Empress Dowager had a fondness for sweets but dared not eat too much.

The recipes for Shirley all use low-sugar raw materials.

After all, Sydney loves to eat it, and she does.

The Empress Dowager was even happier to hear this, and Sherry took many gifts with her when she left.

When Shirley returned to Yikun Palace, Consort Yi was somewhat surprised to see what the maid behind her was carrying.

His expression was somewhat complicated.

After all, because of the fifth prince, Consort Yi often entertained the Empress Dowager.

I also tried hard to learn Mongolian.

As a result, her daughter-in-law was much more favored by the Empress Dowager than she was.

Thinking about it that way, she didn't bother to put on a show anymore.

After all, although Sherry didn't go to the palace much, it was obvious to the naked eye that the Ninth Prince had become much more well-behaved.

Even when making money, he knew how to provide disaster relief and donate food and supplies. Emperor Kangxi praised the Ninth Prince for this, saying that he had started a family and become sensible.

Thinking about it this way, Consort Yi was even happier.

They arranged for someone to make the desserts and sweets that the original owner of the body liked.

She enjoyed the pear without any hesitation.

To be honest, there are a few kinds of pears I've never tried before.

"Mother, I've never tried Green Hibiscus or White Jade Cake before. This tastes so unique!"

The pear was being eaten generously, and it looked especially delicious.

Consort Yi couldn't resist taking a piece and eating it. After finishing, she rubbed her stomach and stopped.

"This is a recipe that Lao Jiu arranged for someone to learn from the south! If you like, you can copy it down when you leave."

Consort Yi was afraid of gaining weight, so she resisted eating, thinking to herself, "It's so good to be young; I can eat so much and not get fat!"

"Ah, so Master has been sending all the good stuff to the palace. Daughter-in-law is only getting to eat it because of Mother!"

Sherry puffed out her cheeks and took another bite in a huff.

Consort Yi was delighted to hear this: "Oh! He even came over yesterday to remind me to make it for you! The ingredients were hard to find, so I only managed to make it three times!"

"Thank you, Mother, you're so kind!" Xue Li looked at her with a face full of filial piety.

Consort Yi smiled even more happily.

"I'm so glad you're both doing well! I always wanted to raise a daughter like you, but I was fortunate enough to raise Kejing instead. He's been quiet and reserved since he was little, like a little adult..."

As Consort Yi spoke, her eyes held a hint of nostalgia and a sigh.

Sherry felt the atmosphere suddenly become a little awkward, patted her belly and said, "Then you just wait and see, Mother, you'll definitely be holding your grandchildren next year!"

Consort Yi chuckled, pinching a handkerchief as she pointed at the snow pear.

"Linlang, look at this shameless little rascal! He's stuffed his belly full of pastries and is telling me he'll have a grandson next year!"

Linlang, the head maid of Consort Yi, also smiled gently.

"Your Highness, this servant thinks Ninth Princess Consort is right. Just wait for good news!"
