Wei Hong had already dressed Song Xibai in thick clothes for going out, and then brought over a fur cloak.
Song Xibai was helpless.
"It's just a few steps, no need to wear so many clothes."
“No.” Wei Hong was adamant on this point. “Master Du Chenghui is a cautionary tale. Your health cannot be exposed to any cold.”
Having no other choice, Song Xibai obediently put on the cloak.

Various precious spices were mixed together.
This doesn't seem like something the Crown Princess would do.
