Princess Pingning thought of her father, the Marquis of Xiangyang, who kept bringing women into the palace. As a child, she often saw her mother secretly crying. When she married, she had never thought of wanting her husband alone. After entering the palace, she knew that her eldest sister-in-law kept Qi Da under strict control, but she just watched and didn't think much of it.
After entering the house, according to the rules, Qi Er's two concubines were released and the concubine was kept. Firstly, the concubine was given by the mother-in-law, and secondly, the concubine was only pretty.
She never thought that her husband would say such words to her one day. Inexplicably, besides joy, she also felt a little aggrieved.
Qi Er looked at Princess Pingning crying foolishly and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Then he was thrown into Princess Pingning's arms, and Princess Pingning cried even louder in his embrace.
Qi Er was confused and didn't know what he had done wrong. He could only patiently stroke Princess Pingning's back and coax her softly: "Don't cry, tell me what I did wrong, and I will correct it immediately."
Princess Pingning, nestled in his arms, shook her head and continued to cry. It wasn't until a cup of tea had passed that she finally stopped crying. Qi Er's chest was half soaked with tears. After she finished crying, Princess Pingning looked at Qi Er with watery eyes and said, "Then you must keep your word. You only want me and the child."
Qi Er wiped her face and said seriously, "Keep your word. A man's word is as good as his bond."
The next morning, Princess Pingning received Sheng Hong's prescription. She first wrote back to Sheng Hong and then found a doctor she was familiar with.
After reading the prescription, the doctor nodded and said, "Princess, this prescription is wonderful. I didn't know these two herbs were so effective in this prescription."
After a pause, the doctor asked, "Is this a secret family recipe?"
Seeing Princess Pingning nod, the doctor said, "Then I will forget it after reading it and will never reveal it to anyone."
He then took Princess Pingning's pulse, stroked her beard, and said, "Your blood and qi are a little deficient. You need to recuperate for a month or so. If you want to have a child later, just follow the prescription and get the medicine."
Princess Pingning felt like she had stumbled upon a treasure when she heard this. After thanking the doctor, she instructed her maid, "Go, send Doctor Liu off and give him the Yunzhi tree in the storeroom."
Doctor Liu bowed, took the medicine box and left with the maid.
After everyone left, Princess Pingning thought for a moment, then called over another maid and said, "Remember there's a century-old ginseng in my dowry? Find it. There are also four oriental pearls. Find two of them."
After packing two boxes, Princess Pingning looked at them and nodded in satisfaction. She then sent another invitation to the Yu family, saying she would visit them in three days.
With the Emperor and Empress back in the palace, preparations for this year's annual banquet began across the capital. While Sheng Hong wasn't celebrating New Year's in the capital, it was her first year preparing for it herself. Previously, at the Sheng household, she'd only assisted and learned, but now that she was doing it herself, she realized how complex it was. Even managing the various relatives involved a lot of work. After a tiring day, she crawled into bed and didn't want to get up.
Sheng Hong was dozing off when a heavy body fell on her. She woke up with a start. She stretched out her hands to resist, but was turned over and fell on top of someone.
She quickly looked at the face and saw that it was her husband, Yu Jiaxing. This man with a scruffy beard and disheveled clothes was completely different from the elegant gentleman he had been when they first got married.
Yu Jiaxing let Sheng Hong look at him for a long time before he hugged her tightly and said, "Let's rest together for a while." After that, he pulled the quilt over to cover them both.
