"Really?" Yun Song's handsome face couldn't hide his joy, but after thinking about it carefully, he sighed softly:

"But Sister Changyue doesn't seem to like me. Every time I greet her, she ignores me."

"Chang Yue is naturally aloof and indifferent to everyone. She's different from my wife. You have to show her your sincerity before there's any possibility of feelings developing over time. Do you really expect the girl to take the initiative?"

In reality, Yun Song had his own concerns: "It's not that I'm unwilling to take the initiative, but I'm worried that if I take the initiative too much, I'll annoy her."

Nodding, Li Yu sighed, "That's true. If it's too bland, she won't be able to taste it; if it's too strong, she'll find it unpleasant. Finding the right balance is an art."

Yun Song had little experience, so he could only ask Li Yu for advice. "Brother Li, I admire your way of dealing with people the most. Why don't you teach me a few tricks? I'll treat you to drinks tonight!"

Li Yu waved his hand, "There's no need for drinking. I've been with Fourth Master for many years, and he dislikes people around him drinking. If it weren't for my vacation, I would never drink."

"Then I'll invite you again when you're on vacation, Brother Li, please help me!" Yun Song pleaded repeatedly. Li Yu's heart softened, and after a moment's thought, he whispered a few words in his ear.

Yun Song nodded in understanding and did as he was told that very night. The next day, when he saw Chang Yue come out again, Yun Song immediately stepped forward and called out with a smile:

"Sister Changyue, I heard that Auntie injured her back. Is her condition improving now?"

When suddenly asked about her family affairs, Chang Yue was puzzled, but still answered politely, "I have been resting for two months and have improved."

Yun Song followed up by saying, "You can't be careless when you fall and get injured. You need to apply plasters in the early stages and ointments later."

My grandmother also fell and injured herself a couple of years ago. She seemed to have recovered after several months of rest, but she would experience unbearable pain again on rainy days. She saw several doctors, but her condition didn't improve. Then a doctor prescribed this medicine, and my grandmother used it consistently for three months. After that, she never felt pain when it rained again.

As they spoke, Yun Song took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to her, saying, "This is it. Take it back and let your aunt try it, so that she doesn't develop a chronic illness."

Changyue's mother was already able to get out of bed, but she had mentioned that her back was a little sore when it rained a few days ago, which matched the symptoms Yunsong had described. So Changyue decided to take it back and try it out, and also asked him how much silver it would cost.

Yun Song smiled indifferently, "It's not worth much money, just take it back and use it. We're all serving Princess Su, no need to be polite."

He insisted on refusing the money, so Chang Yue had no choice but to accept it and thanked him again.

When she had a chance to go home, Changyue gave the ointment to her mother and applied it for her. When Yao asked about the origin of the ointment, Changyue was too embarrassed to say that it was given to her by a guard, and only said that it was given to her by a young lady in the mansion.

Without much thought, Madam Yao felt she shouldn't accept favors for nothing, so she asked Changyue to deliver the dumplings that her family had just steamed to the recipient as a token of her gratitude.

Changyue couldn't refuse her mother's kind offer, so she sat with her mother for a while before taking the food box back to her residence.

On her way back to the house, she was too embarrassed to give it to Yunsong, but after entering the house, she begged Yunfang to deliver it to him for her.

This was originally a trivial matter, but Yun Fang's eyes flickered, and she politely declined:

"My dear sister, a thank-you gift must be delivered in person to show sincerity. I'm sorry, I can't help you with this!"

She refused to help, and Su Yushan refused to do it for her. Helpless, Chang Yue could only turn back by herself and hand the food box to Yun Song, saying it was a thank-you gift from her mother.

Yun Song was secretly delighted and quickly accepted the gift, saying, "Auntie, you're too kind. I'll gladly accept your offer. Thank you, Sister Changyue!"

Yun Song wanted to say a few more words to her, but Chang Yue said she had something else to do and turned to leave first.

Although her attitude towards him was still indifferent, the method Li Yu taught him was ultimately effective. At least Chang Yue brought him food, which was not a bad start.

Overjoyed, Yun Song secretly encouraged himself, determined to persevere in order to win the heart of the beauty!

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, according to custom, one should drink Laba porridge. Unfortunately, Hongli had to go to the palace. After the court session, Yongzheng kept him in the palace to drink porridge, so he was unable to go back to accompany Yushan.

When he returned, Yu Shan had already finished breakfast and was playing with Yan Yan.

Now that Yan Yan is seven months old, he can sit on the couch. As soon as Hongli entered the room, he called out "Yan Yan," and Yan Yan, who was holding a rattle drum, raised his head and smiled at his father.

Whenever he saw the child's smile, Hongli felt a warmth in his heart and reached out to him, saying, "Come here, let your father hold you and see if you've gained weight."

When he picked up the child, the father and son were very close, and Hongli was startled to notice a white spot on his toothbrush, causing him to frown.

"What's wrong with Yan Yan's teeth? They're all white. Is it because she's got a sore throat?"

Su Yushan covered her mouth and laughed, "Those are his little teeth, Yan Yan is starting to get his first teeth!"

It was a false alarm. Hongli laughed and exclaimed, "It was just a little white tooth! My son is teething! Hurry up and get all his teeth in so he can enjoy all the delicious food!"

Yan Yan didn't understand what his father was laughing about, but seeing that everyone else was laughing, he chuckled along.

Just as the family was celebrating, Yun Song walked to the door and called out, "Reporting to Fourth Master, Ning Shuang, a maid from Lan Zhao Courtyard, requests your presence. She says that the Fujin (principal wife) has something to say to you."

Hongli's smile froze, and he could only say that he was too busy.

Yun Song went to report back as he was told, but Ning Shuang refused to leave. "The Princess Consort really has something very important to discuss with the Fourth Prince. Brother Yun Song, please, do me a favor and pass on the message for me!"

Ning Shuang frowned pitifully and tugged at his arm, her tone almost like a spoiled child, which made Yun Song's scalp tingle. He immediately shook her off.

"Fourth Master said he's busy, so stop nagging!"
