Honghui was the first to sense Yihua's unusual behavior. His gaze lingered between his mother and mother-in-law, and he wisely took his younger brother and sister away.

Seeing that the children had finished eating, Yi Hua poured Yinzhen a cup of sake: "Your Highness, please try this. It's a new recipe that our shop came up with. The taste is quite unique, bitter at first and then sweet, like sipping tea."

Yinzhen took a sip: "It's acceptable."

Seeing that Yinzhen remained unmoved and showed no emotion on his face, Yihua felt a little uneasy. How should she bring up the matter of the Uya clan? Would it be too abrupt to go straight to the point?

Seeing Yihua's conflicted expression, Yinzhen sighed and asked, "Does this wine have a name?"

"Not yet, this is the first batch of finished products, I'm still thinking about it."

Yinzhen pondered for a moment: "How about we call it Tongxin (同心)?"

"Huh?" Yi Hua asked, puzzled.

"It tastes slightly bitter at first, then sweet, and finally leaves a lingering fragrance in the mouth." Yinzhen poured himself another cup and drank it. "I don't think my relationship with my wife is very similar. It's all about getting along first, then gradually getting into a better state, and finally growing old together."

"I want to be with you for life, just like this cup of wine that symbolizes our shared love."

As Yi Hua listened to Yin Zhen's sudden sweet words, her cheeks gradually flushed red, looking like the sunset on the horizon. After thinking for a moment, she said directly, "I have no intention of taking a concubine for you. Princess Wuya, I want to choose a good husband for her."

"I know." Yinzhen suppressed a laugh; so this was what had made her so uneasy.

"I thought you already understood that I would not and could not allow you to take a concubine. Whether the Emperor and the Empress want to give one or you want one yourself, I cannot stop you, but I will never send another woman to your side on my own initiative." This was the first time Yi Hua had spoken her mind so frankly. In this era, anyone who dared to openly say that they would not allow their husband to take a concubine was someone who would be criticized behind their back. Didn't you see that the Eighth Prince's wife had always been an anomaly among the princes' wives?

“Yihua, you can try saying no to me.” Yinzhen was puzzled. Before Honghui was born, his wife always argued with him, but after Honghui was born, she never did. She became docile and also became someone he couldn’t understand.

"Yinzhen, I will never say no to you." Yihua said with a double meaning, drinking the wine that Yinzhen poured for her.

Yinzhen smiled and asked, "Another cup?"

"good."

"Tea Yan Yue Se" launched a new product called "Tong Xin" (meaning "Unity of Hearts"). During the first seven days of the promotion, each bottle of tea came with a bookmark decorated with red plum blossoms and the words "May lovers be united forever" written in the slender gold script. The product sold out as soon as it was released, becoming a popular story.

From that day on, Yihua felt that she and Yinzhen had developed a tacit understanding and became much closer. This closeness was not because the distance between them when they cuddled together at night had changed, but because their two beating hearts were constantly drawing closer.

Just like today, when Yi Hua woke up, Yin Zhen had already gone to court. When Yu Xue saw that Yi Hua was awake, she brought over breakfast: "Your Highness, the Prince said that the breakfast here has a novel taste, so he specially bought it for Your Highness to try. Come and take a look. This crystal cake is really interesting. You can even see the filling inside."

Yi Hua stretched and pulled her clothes tighter, trying to cover up the traces of yesterday. She didn't know what was wrong with her lately. Everyone said that women are like wolves in their thirties and tigers in their forties, but Yin Zhen's behavior lately was more like that of a young boy.

"Could he be secretly taking drugs?" Yi Hua wondered, her mind wandering.

Especially considering he was doing that kind of thing yesterday, and he still had the leisure to chat.

"My dear, do you have a nickname?"

"No...no," Yi Hua stammered, still catching her breath.

"Then I'll give you one," Yinzhen said as he made the gesture.

Last night, the rain was sparse and the wind was strong, and even a deep sleep could not dispel the lingering effects of the wine. I asked the person rolling up the curtain, who said that the crabapple blossoms were still there. Do you know, do you know? It should be that the green leaves are lush and the red flowers are faded.

"This poem perfectly captures the scene we have today. How about you take the nickname 'Begonia' for me, Qingqing? I promise that Begonia will bloom every day and will not be broken by wind or rain," Yinzhen whispered in Yihua's ear.

Then, she used her waist to call out "Tangtang". Yihua felt like a fish on a chopping board, being turned over and over, and it took her a whole night to breathe fresh air.

Seeing that her mistress was leaning against the headboard without moving, Yu Xue suddenly brought over a vase: "By the way, Your Highness, His Highness had someone send this vase over this morning. It's amazing that there are still blooming crabapple blossoms at this time of year."

"Take it out!" Yi Hua was so angry from being tormented that she gritted her teeth.

Seeing that her mistress was angry, Yu Xue hurriedly tried to throw the vase away. She had already reached the door when she heard Yi Hua's voice again.

"Place it by the window, take good care of it, and don't let it die."

"yes."

Little Wolf began his martial arts training before he was even six years old. Fortunately, he loved martial arts and was very enthusiastic about going to Ulanara Mansion every afternoon.

Fei Yanggu has recently been teaching him horse stance, which is the most basic part of the basic skills. He originally thought that the pampered little wolf would cry and make a fuss, so he had prepared several plans to coax him.

Unexpectedly, the child persevered without crying or fussing, and didn't complain even though his legs were trembling.

Fine materials and beautiful jade are rare, but it is even rarer to be willing to put in hard work and not waste one's talent. Fei Yanggu cherished this grandson even more.

After Little Wolf finished practicing his horse stance that day, Fei Yanggu happened to have a guest visiting, so he let him rest for a while and wander around at his leisure.

Besides practicing martial arts and swordsmanship, Little Wolf's favorite things are swings and slides. He was a little annoyed as he wandered around the artificial hill but couldn't find any familiar facilities.

Just then, a woman's muttering came from the other side of the artificial hill.

"Ah Zhu, you've been sent to take care of the young master for three months now. I heard your allowance increased this month. Could it be..." The woman spoke ambiguously, smiling, and Little Wolf was somewhat puzzled.
