At that moment, Wei Hong entered with her maids.
"Master, the ginger soup is ready."
Song Xibai beckoned them over.
The crown prince's expression changed.
"I don't feel cold anymore, I'm fine, I don't need ginger soup!"
Song Xibai turned her head and saw the rejection on his face, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Just like Dingxiang's mother said, men are like children.
So, Song Xibai coaxed the Crown Prince in the same way she would a child.
"Your Highness is the future crown prince! He is our pillar of strength, how could he be afraid of a mere bowl of ginger soup? Right? Your Highness, don't be afraid, I had someone put in a lot of brown sugar, it's not very spicy, just this one bowl, drink it and get some sleep, I guarantee you won't get sick tomorrow."
Her tone was soft and gentle, like a spring breeze caressing one's heart, and the Crown Prince was captivated by her voice.

He instinctively opened his mouth and took a sip, then his facial features contorted.

After being coaxed by Song Xibai to drink two more sips, the Crown Prince finally regained his voice.
"I've had enough."
Song Xibai glanced at the bowl and saw that there was only a little left, so she didn't insist and handed the bowl to the little palace maid.
"Oh, right, what about the people who went out with His Highness? Send them some ginger soup. Also, give each of the palace maids and servants on night watch a bowl."
In the small kitchen, ginger soup is made in batches, and the prince only drinks a small bowl of it. The rest can't be saved for tomorrow.
Song Xibai then gave this instruction.
Wei Hong withdrew with a smile.
Before long, the palace servants who had just returned from their outings and those on night watch were given a bowl of ginger soup and felt grateful to Song Xibai.
Although it was just a small bowl of ginger soup, it was a particularly warm thing for them in the winter.
