Shen Du indulgently echoed Qing Yin's words.
Noticing the man's improper gaze, Qingyin blushed again. She gave him a wary look and said, "You...you better behave yourself. We still need to visit Mother."
"Yes, Qingqing is right."
That's what they say, but Shen Du, this newly appointed husband, really has no self-control.
Although he wouldn't do anything underhanded while Qingyin was getting ready, his burning gaze was truly indescribable.
The maid's movements became more tense and cautious, and Qingyin was also affected, becoming somewhat shy.
—
Qingyin got up and dressed in no time, successfully getting rid of an overly clingy man. With Shen Du gone, Qingying and the maids were able to get ready more quickly.
By the time Qingyin finished getting ready and changed her clothes, it was already noon when she and Shen Du met Princess Gu Yanran.
Song Zhenbao, dressed in a pink cheongsam, was obediently held in Gu Yanran's arms. Some time ago, Song Zhenbao had met this gentle woman and knew that she was her new grandmother, so she was no longer afraid of her.
Her grandmother told her that her mother had married her new father, and her new grandmother was her new father's mother. Her mother had just gotten married yesterday, and she couldn't disturb her mother and new father, so she would be able to see her mother the next day.
Song Zhenbao was not afraid.
She nestled happily in Gu Yanran's arms. The new grandmother was much better than the old one. She didn't dislike Niannian at all; on the contrary, she liked Niannian very much. She bought Niannian new clothes and fed her delicious food. Niannian liked this grandmother.
Gu Yanran felt even happier when she saw her granddaughter's dependence on her, especially when she saw the beautiful couple walking out of the courtyard gate.
"Qingqing, you've arrived."
"Mother!"
"Yes, son/daughter-in-law greets mother."
Qingyin and Shen Du bowed to Gu Yanran in unison.
Gu Yanran laughed so hard she couldn't stop.
"Quickly, get up."
“Niannian has been thinking about you for a while, but she stayed here with me obediently this morning. She’s so good.”
Qingyin smiled and said, "Thank you for taking care of Niannian, Mother."
Gu Yanran waved her hand generously: "Taking care of my granddaughter is nothing tiring. I wish Nian Nian could be with me every day."
Look at this moment, Song Zhenbao said to Gu Yanran in a coquettish tone, "Niannian also likes Grandmother and wants to be with Grandmother every day."
"Oh, my dear Niannian." Gu Yanran was so pleased with her that she called Song Zhenbao's name several times.
Qingyin and Shen Du exchanged a smile.
Judging from her mother-in-law's appearance, she was another one who had been coaxed by Nian Nian and had probably forgotten that they were performing the ceremony.
Mother Shen has not forgotten her son and daughter-in-law, especially her daughter-in-law who is as beautiful as an angel.
She generously took out several of her treasured jewelry pieces and prepared beautiful dresses, and handed them to Qingyin.
As the eldest princess and the wife of a great general, Gu Yanran was undoubtedly a very wealthy woman.
When giving gifts, they didn't even blink, and in no time, these exquisite clothes and various gifts were piled up in front of Qingyin.
As for her son, Gu Yanran's opinion was: he should earn his own living, and her daughter-in-law was the one she should cherish.
Shen Du: "..."
Qingyin struggled to look away from the gifts. "Mother, these gifts are too many and too precious."
If I wear all these clothes, I probably won't be able to use them all by next year.
Gu Yanran said matter-of-factly, "What's the big deal? If you can't wear them all, just change them every day. Pretty people should wear more new clothes."
Qingyin looked at Gu Yanran with sparkling eyes. Her mother-in-law was so generous; she wanted a dozen mothers-in-law like that!
Seeing his wife staring at his mother with sparkling eyes, Shen Du was already calculating how many beautiful clothes and jewelry he could buy to win back his wife's heart from his mother.
Shen Du bitterly calculated that his personal savings were not even as much as his mother's secret stash.
Shen Du: The sky has fallen!
At this moment, Shen Du, who was not poor, felt a strong urge to strive. He should work hard for his little wife.
—
Qingyin lived a very leisurely life after marrying into the Shen family. Her child was taken care of by Shen's mother, and Shen Du would send her all sorts of interesting things to play with. No one knew that Shen Du had found out that she liked red pandas, but he actually brought over a red panda cub and a giant panda mother.
Looking at the familiar tuft of hair standing up on the panda cub's head, Qingyin roughly knew where Shen Du had gotten it from.
Looking at the empty bamboo forest and his fifth brother, who was fawning over him with ingratiating smiles, at the Fourth Prince's residence, he felt utterly speechless.
"Fourth Brother, wouldn't it be great to give the Iron-Eating Beasts to our cousin's wife who truly loves them? She's so beautiful and kind; she'll definitely treat them well."
Fourth Prince: "..."
What does being pretty have to do with being kind? What a jerk of a younger brother!
However, he was genuinely willing to give the Iron-Eating Beast to Song Qingqing, that beauty.
But he would never tell his younger brother the truth, even if they were blood brothers.
—
After Qingyin married Shendu, two major events occurred.
One was His Majesty's removal of the Crown Prince, and the other was the recognition of the Fourth Prince from the common people—that's right, it was Liu Zhi.
It is said that the male fetus that Consort De was pregnant with was killed by one of the midwives in the palace out of jealousy. Someone with ulterior motives transported the baby out of the palace, but the baby was lucky enough to be found by Prime Minister Liu Yue.
That day, Consort De happened to see Liu Shilang at a palace banquet and discovered that he looked remarkably like her own brother. Therefore, she reported this to the Emperor, and Liu Zhi was recognized as a relative.
Qingyin listened intently as her mother-in-law, the eldest princess, told her gossip about Liu Zhi.
