Barin couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and secretly went to see Hongyu.

Xiao Ba, with her sharp eyes, noticed this scene, her gaze shifting before accepting the gift from her sister-in-law.

He said in a childish voice, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you are so beautiful. I heard you are from the grasslands. I have never been to the grasslands before."

Looking at the child's expectant eyes, Balin was instantly charmed and said in a gentle voice, "Okay, sister-in-law, tell your eighth brother about the stories of the grasslands when you have time."

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Ba was overjoyed and almost jumped up.

Hongyu watched him to prevent him from falling, but Xiao Ba's next words made the young couple blush.

"Sister-in-law, you have to keep it up!" Then, pretending to whisper, she leaned close to Balinshi and said, "Grandma said that Mother can't wait to hold her grandson."

He Zhuo thought it was Xiao Ba doing it on purpose, whispering but not quietly.

Balin felt like her face was hot enough to scald an egg, and Hongyu, having just tasted meat yesterday, also had a flushed face.

Smiles spread across everyone's faces. Xiao Qi started to cheer, and Xiao Jiu, who had been hanging out with Seventh Brother and Eighth Brother all this time, immediately chimed in in a childish voice, "Hold a grandson, hold a grandson."

He Zhuo noticed his daughter-in-law's embarrassment and spoke up to defuse the situation: "Yes, Xiao Ba is right. Your mother and Consort Hui are both looking forward to holding their grandson, but there's no rush, you're newlyweds."

"Yes, Mother."

Everything went smoothly after that. Yinzhi's daughters, the Gege (princess) side, now only have 3 left, while the Zhijunwang Mansion has already had 4 Gege married off.

After the tea ceremony was over, Yinzhi said to everyone, "I have other business to attend to today, so I'll be leaving now."

"Respectfully seeing you off, sir."

Since Hongyu was about to get married, the servants in the mansion changed their way of addressing her. Hezhuo became the princess, the secondary consort became the secondary concubine, and the one who entered the mansion became the crown prince's wife.

Actually, it's always been like this, but everyone's used to it and hasn't changed their way of speaking.

However, when they go out, people still habitually call her First Princess Consort, Third Princess Consort, Fourth Princess Consort, and so on.

After the tea ceremony, the children went to school, the concubines returned to their courtyards, leaving only He Zhuo, the Crown Prince and his wife, and Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, and Xiao Jiu.

When a new bride first starts out, she is expected to serve her mother-in-law meals, and He Zhuo readily complied.

The truth is, if they didn't let her serve them meals, people would think they had a problem with her, so He Zhuo wouldn't break this rule.

However, it won't be necessary tomorrow. He Zhuo only pays respects to his relatives on the first and fifteenth of each month now. He doesn't like having a daughter-in-law constantly around.

After finishing breakfast, He Zhuo asked, "Hongyu's wife, do you think you can hold on today?"

Hongyu instantly understood what his mother meant: whether he could go to the palace.

The day after the prince and his wife's wedding, all the palace bosses had to go to pay their respects. This was the usual procedure for imperial decrees of marriage. Even if the big boss didn't see you, not going would be considered a lack of manners and gratitude.

He Zhuo saw her momentary confusion and immediately understood. He nodded inwardly, thinking that his wife was handsome and had regular features, but her reaction speed was not bad.

Actually, asking He Zhuo was just a symbolic gesture; everyone was going to go anyway.

"Yes, daughter-in-law will help mother wash up."

After being served once, He Zhuo was told to prepare himself and go to the palace.

Actually, the daughter-in-law's service wasn't very good; it wasn't as comfortable as being served by a maid. After all, she wasn't there to serve others. However, the custom of serving the mother-in-law meant that if the new bride was refused during her wedding, it would be a very embarrassing thing.

He Zhuo is left to her.
