After the meal, Xie Sui had a low alcohol tolerance and felt dizzy after just two drinks, so the two decided to stay at Yu's residence to rest. Yu Guiwan first helped Xie Sui into the house, and then ordered Fuqiu to go to the kitchen to bring some sobering soup.

"Awan, come out with me first." Yang Nian shouted outside the house.

She answered towards the door, "Mom, I'll be right there." After that, Yu Guiwan tucked the quilt in for Xie Sui and whispered in his ear, "Xie Sui, I'm going out for a while."

Xie Sui groggily responded, adding, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Yang Nian pulled Yu Guiwan to sit in the next room. Yang Nian sat beside her with a serious expression. She couldn't help but ask, "Mom, is there something wrong?"

"No." Yang Nian's expression eased a lot. He took Yu Guiwan's hand again and said solemnly: "The prince still needs to take care of his health, so you two should also be more restrained."

"I know." Yu Guiwan spoke with some embarrassment. In fact, he only needed to tell Xie Sui, because he was the one who was unrestrained.

Seeing her shyness, Yang Nian didn't say much, "I'm glad you understand. I heard from Fuqiu that you don't drink the soup and serve it to the prince every day?"

Yu Guiwan felt a little guilty when he heard this.

I cursed Fuqiu in my heart as a traitor!

"You've suffered so much since you came back from the border. You must make up for it. If I find out that you're being clever again, I'll go to Prince Chen's Mansion to supervise you personally." Yang Nian said with a stern face. Although Yu Guiwan has recovered a lot these days, Yang Nian will never forget how much thinner she was when she just came back from the border.

"That's perfect. Now that mom has moved to Prince Chen's Mansion, I can spend more time with her." Yu Guiwan said coquettishly.

"You." Yang Nian scratched her nose. "The weather is getting colder now. You can't stay in the cool anymore. Do you hear me?" Yang Nian would remind Yu Guiwan of this every time he saw her.

It's not because of anything else, but mainly because she has no restraint in this regard. No matter how cold the weather is, she will eat Sushan.

"Yes, mother." Yu Guiwan stood up and bowed slightly.

Yang Nian looked at her with a cunning look and said, "It's getting late, go to bed early." Then she stood up and went back to her yard.

When Yu Guiwan returned to the room, Fuqiu also came back with the hangover soup. He took the soup from Fuqiu and went to the bedside. As soon as he went there, he saw Xie Sui trying hard to open his eyelids.

She couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Sleep if you want."

Hearing Yu Guiwan's voice, Xie Sui immediately sobered up a lot, "I said I would wait for you." He sat up on the bed with one hand, took the sobering soup from Yu Guiwan's hand and drank two small sips.

"Drink two more sips, or you'll have a headache tomorrow morning."

After hearing what Yu Guiwan said, Xie Sui drank it all and was about to get out of bed. Yu Guiwan took the empty bowl from his hand and said, "Just give it to me. Why bother getting out of bed yourself?" As she said that, she had already put the empty bowl down.

As soon as Yu Guiwan got on the bed, Xie Sui held her in his arms. Yu Guiwan felt as if she had touched something scorching hot. Xie Sui was about to speak when she interrupted him, "No, mother just told me to be moderate."

"It's clear that you are the only one who needs to exercise restraint."

Yu Guiwan muttered something, but Xie Sui pretended not to hear. Yu Guiwan said with a stern face, "Not today." She emphasized again.

Xie Sui looked disappointed, then thought of something, "If it's not possible today, will it be possible tomorrow?" He whispered.

"..."

Rascal.

Early in the morning, the whole family sat in the dining room and had breakfast happily.

After breakfast, Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui were about to return to Prince Chen's Mansion. Yu Guiwan wanted to stay in the mansion for a few more days, but Yang Nian did not agree, so Yu Guiwan had to give up.

After breakfast, everyone moved to the front hall to chat.

As everyone was talking and laughing, the servant outside the door ran in, "Master, Madam, Master Ji is here."

Yang Nian stood up in surprise, "Mingchuan is here, please invite him in quickly." She had heard that Ji Mingchuan had won the third place in the imperial examination when she was in Prince Chen's Mansion, but she was sick at that time, so she only sent someone to deliver gifts to congratulate him.

I didn't expect that Ji Mingchuan would come to my door in person today.

When Xie Sui heard the name, he frowned almost imperceptibly, turned around and took Yu Guiwan's hand. Yu Guiwan looked puzzled and was about to break free from his hand, but Xie Sui exerted a little force to prevent her from breaking free.

"What are you doing? There are so many people here." She muttered softly.

Soon, Ji Mingchuan sent someone to the door with gifts. When he saw Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui, his expression was slightly startled but quickly returned to normal. "Greetings to Prince Chen and Princess Chen."

"Stand up." Xie Sui responded.

After standing up, Ji Mingchuan looked at Yu Wan and Yang Nian, "Uncle, Aunt, Mingchuan has only recently been free, so I came to visit you. I hope you can forgive me. I also brought a lot of supplements for Yanlin."

Ji Mingchuan bowed.

"Mingchuan, you are too polite." Yang Nian said with a smile.

"Brother Mingchuan, I haven't had time to congratulate you." Yu Guiwan only heard about Ji Mingchuan's admission to high school after she came back. If she were still in Beijing, she would definitely celebrate for him.

"Thank you, Princess. I like the gift you sent earlier."

After Ji Mingchuan finished speaking, Xie Sui looked at Yu Guiwan with a puzzled look, as if asking Yu Guiwan:

When did you give him a gift? How come he didn't know?

"I heard that Mingchuan has been appointed. I guess your parents will be returning to the capital soon, right?" Yang Nian asked, thinking about her good friend all the time.

"Yes, I think she will arrive in the capital soon. My mother even wrote to me asking you, aunt, to prepare a welcome banquet for her."

"Your mother is really something. If she wanted to enjoy my cooking, why didn't she write to me in person?"

Ji Mingchuan smiled and explained, "Aunt, don't you understand my mother's personality? She must be afraid that you won't agree."

Yang Nian was unhappy when he heard this, "Am I such a stingy person? I'll scold her when she arrives in the capital." Although he said this, Yang Nian was extremely happy in his heart.

Yu Wang immediately greeted him, "Then Mingchuan, you should stay at the Yu Mansion for dinner today."

Hearing this, Xie Sui felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ji Mingchuan cup his hands and said, "Mingchuan will be taking up his post soon. I haven't finished the things I have on hand yet, so I won't stay for dinner."

"After my parents arrive, Mingchuan will have a couple of drinks with my uncle."

Seeing Ji Mingchuan say this, they didn't want to keep him any longer. After all, a new official has a lot of things to do. "Okay, let's do it another day."
