For a moment, she felt like she was back in the past, but when he held her hand, she was shocked to realize that she had become an old woman.

"Little Tangyuan is awake," Chu Younan said hurriedly, "I'll have someone bring him over to you to have a look!"

Su Bei immediately perked up, but he still needed his help to sit up, "Quick! Let me see! Have you given her a name?"

"I woke up and called myself Chu Qianyi. Do you think it's okay?"

“Yeah, that sounds good!”

"Just like the name you gave her, she is now white and plump, like a glutinous rice dumpling..."

"That's good, it's better than being born red and wrinkled!"

Su Bei leaned on the head of the bed, and the two of them looked like an ordinary couple.

Not long after, Baoqiu's voice rang out, "Prince, Prince, the little princess is here!"

"Quick! Bring it here and let me see it!" Su Bei said quickly.

Bao Qiu was very cautious when he came in, without even raising his head. Perhaps Chu Younan had instructed people not to stare at Su Bei.

But Su Bei noticed that her hair was tied in a bun.

"Baoqiu, are you married?"

Bao Qiu then looked at her and said, "Princess, the prince has granted me a marriage, allowing me to marry your son. But I can't bear to leave you, and I still want to serve you."

"Okay! Okay!" Su Bei chuckled and looked at the little glutinous rice ball in her arms.

More than half a year has passed, and little Tangyuan is almost one year old. He really looks like a glutinous rice ball, fair and tender, with a pair of big eyes that looks just like Chu Younan when he was a child.

Su Bei couldn't help but smile and reached out to hug little Tangyuan.

Unexpectedly, the little girl avoided her and turned around and got into Chu Younan's arms, "Die...Die..."

The childish voice is like the clear sound of wind chimes.

Su Bei felt a little disappointed and quickly turned his head away, "Carry him out!"

Baoqiu was stunned for a moment, but still took the dumpling.

It was natural for the child not to be close to her, but fortunately she hadn't cried yet. You know, when Bei Shijing turned into a monster, Su Bei's eyesight hadn't developed well, but Xiao Tangyuan is now a mature baby.

Seeing Baoqiu carrying little Tangyuan away, Su Bei couldn't help but say, "Baoqiu!"

Bao Qiu paused but didn't turn around, "Does the princess have any other instructions?"

"Ask Xia if she is...married?"

"As for her, the prince also granted her marriage, and she married Lu Jiu." Bao Qiu still didn't turn his head.

Su Bei could hear that her voice was a little choked up, "Okay! Go ahead and take little Tangyuan out to play! Oh, right! Let Yunxi come over!"

"Yes!" Baoqiu agreed and went out holding the little glutinous rice balls.

Su Bei looked towards the door, her eyes kept looking outward for a long time, then she slowly said: "Chu Younan, why did you give Wen Xia to Lu Jiu?"

Chu Younan stroked her silver hair and said softly, "Lu Jiu keeps asking Xia all the time. I asked her what she thought, and she said she was willing to marry Lu Jiu."

"That's good, that's good. You must find a good marriage for Yun Rou and Yun Xi, especially Yun Xi. Little Tangyuan's health depends all on her..." Su Bei murmured.

After a while, Yun Xi came, but Su Bei did not see her. He just thanked her solemnly through the screen and gave her a lot of gold and silver.

The next day, the current Emperor Chu Youyang came, and Su Bei lowered the curtain to meet him.

"I heard from Jinrong that we are not outsiders, so just let me see him!" Chu Youyang's tone seemed quite relaxed.

Su Bei refused, "There's nothing to see, it's too ugly! I'm afraid of disturbing the emperor."

"Tsk! It's all my Third Brother! I don't want to be the emperor! It's better to let him be the emperor!" Chu Youyang said angrily.

"Just be your emperor!" Chu Younan said solemnly, "Have you ever seen an emperor wearing a mask all day long?"

"I've sent people out to look for it. They'll definitely find medicine to cure your scar. Then you can be the boss!" Chu Youyang said as if he was playing house.

Su Bei didn't say anything, so Chu Younan spoke up: "Ah Bei is not well, so I will stay with her all the time. Don't let your imagination run wild! Have you finished reviewing the memorials today? If not, go back and review them now!"

Chu Youyang hung his head, like a child being criticized.

After he left, the palace became quiet.

Su Bei still held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that she would get better like Bei Shijing, but over the past ten days, her health became worse and worse...

She even lost two teeth in a row. She is now no different from an old woman.

Chu Younan felt even colder than her, and secretly asked someone to inquire about the Snow Girl of the North, to see if there was any turning point.

Easier said than done…

That night, he hugged Su Bei and looked at her in the dim candlelight, with mixed feelings in his heart.

There is nothing more heartbreaking than watching a loved one fade away.

He leaned over quietly and kissed her dry lips.

Fortunately, she was already asleep. If she was awake, she would have been angry and asked him to go away. After all, she was an eighty-year-old woman, and being kissed by a strong young man, the inferiority complex was deep in her bones.

But Su Bei might have been dreaming of the past tenderness in her sleep. When Chu Younan kissed her more deeply, she actually responded to him as she did before.

Chu Younan just felt his eyes sore.

The next morning, when Su Bei woke up, he was still asleep.

This was the first time she felt so energetic since she woke up.

Maybe it was a flash of life? She was worried.

But……

She didn't cough much throughout the whole day, as if she was really feeling much better.

Chu Younan had other ideas in his mind.

The Snow Girl of the North was a magical being. She cursed Chu Youchen to turn into a human pig, and it really came true. She cursed the Chu family, and Xue Jinrong had three miscarriages in less than a year.

Moreover, Bei Shijing still looked to be in her twenties until her death, which doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it.

He read from Su Bei's thoughts that Bei Shijing had also aged, but Su Duo never left her, and she recovered her appearance in just one month...

Therefore, he boldly speculated that the Northern Snow Girl might have been cursed. If she didn't get true love, she might die like this...

That night, he boldly confirmed his thoughts again and kissed Su Bei quietly while she was asleep.

But Su Bei was in much better spirits, and she woke up as soon as he kissed her...

"Chu Younan!" Su Bei said in panic, "What are you doing? I'm..."

"Shh! Don't talk!" Chu Younan covered her eyes and took off his mask.

The kiss was long and heavy. She kept dodging at first, but he kept attacking.

His guess was finally confirmed.

The next day, Su Bei felt better. When Xue Jinrong came to check her pulse, he found that her pulse was stronger...

"This is truly a miracle!" Xue Jinrong exclaimed.

"Yes! This is really a miracle!" Su Bei sighed and looked at Chu Younan.

She is an old woman, he has scars on half his face, they are similar.

But this half-pound and eight-pound thing couldn't last long. Su Bei grew new teeth, and his shriveled body gradually became plump...
