"Who told you to coax me?" Chen Qingxuan was both awkward and proud. Kong Wenmin pulled him back to the room. He looked at Kong Wenmin, who was soaked from head to toe, and hurriedly urged, "Hurry up and change your clothes. Don't catch a cold."
"Don't be afraid of catching a cold. Just make me a few more bowls of brown sugar ginger tea," Kong Wenmin laughed. Even though Chen Qingxuan rolled his eyes at her three times, he was still grinning from ear to ear. While taking off his clothes, he continued to laugh, "Add more peppercorns. I like the taste of Su Su Mama the most, hehe."
"Why do you, an old man, talk so much?" Chen Qingxuan was almost annoyed by him. Seeing him taking off his outer clothes, revealing the almost transparent inner clothes that stuck to his body, Chen Qingxuan felt uncomfortable and hurried to the side room.
"Where are you going?" Kong Wenmin thought he was being naughty again and asked quickly.
"Let's make ginger soup," Chen Qingxuan said unhappily, "add as much peppercorns as you can. I guarantee you'll be refreshed from head to toe!"
"Hey, beat two more eggs in!" Kong Wenmin looked at Chen Qingxuan's back and laughed. He felt happy even before he had the chance to eat.
"Add eggs? Do you think you're in confinement after childbirth?!" Chen Qingxuan shouted in frustration.
Kong Wenmin, who was unbuckling his belt, silently looked at his belly: "...Alas! I'm afraid I can't get pregnant."
Chen Qingxuan: “…”

July 20, 1934
Northwest Camp.
Pingxi Palace.
"General!" At dawn, before daybreak, Meng Tan rushed into the backyard in a hurry.
A maidservant came over immediately and stopped him: "General Meng, what's wrong with you? If there is something, you have to wait until the prince and princess wake up before reporting it. How can you just barge in like this?"
"General!" Meng Tan completely ignored the maid, pushed her aside, and continued to run inside.
"What's going on?" The maid held onto the crescent-shaped door and frowned as she looked at Meng Tan's wind-like back. "Why is General Meng like he's gone mad?"
Meng Tan was the personal bodyguard of King Pingxi and used to live next door to Zhong Zhiling. After Zhong Zhiling got married, Meng Tan moved to the front yard and usually never set foot in the backyard. If there was anything, Zhong Zhiling would discuss it with him in the study in the front yard or in the backyard. So this was the first time that Meng Tan went straight into the backyard.
"What's wrong?" Helan Ya asked dazedly when she felt the person next to her sitting up, while reaching out to stop Zhong Zhiling, "It's not even daybreak yet? Why are you up so early?"
"You continue to sleep. I'll get up and go to the study." Zhong Zhiling leaned over and kissed Helan Ya's forehead, patting her back. Seeing Helan Ya frowning and about to speak, Zhong Zhiling smiled and said, "I'll be back soon. I'll be back to accompany you and Nannan to sleep."
"How do you know it's Nannan?" Hearing what he said, Helan Ya couldn't help but smiled, "I think it's a big fat boy."
"It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, as long as they're yours," Zhong Zhiling laughed, kissed Helan Ya's lips again, and then asked in a low voice, "What do you want to eat this morning? Ham and steamed dumplings? Or anything else? I'll ask the cook to make it later."
"Well, then make a basket of siomai. I also want to eat a baked bun," Helan Ya smiled, pursed her lips, and then said, "Tofu brain, spicy soup, if it's convenient, make some for me."
"It's convenient. What's inconvenient about it?" Zhong Zhiling said with a smile. He took his outer garment and put it on. He said to the woman who was staring at him with her eyes wide open on the bed, "Okay, if you can't sleep, think about what you want to eat for lunch."
