The prince only allowed me to have a baby, so the pressure is a bit high!

Chapter 22: First Encounter with the Princesses

When he heard that it was someone from the main courtyard who invited him, Yinreng made up his mind instantly. Go and try again tonight to see if it was really that magical. Could she really be the only one?

Yinreng quickly brought He Zhu with him, and also brought a few poetry collections that he liked. These were prepared for Buerhe. Since they were just killing time, reading poetry collections was always better than those damn storybooks, especially those storybooks.

Seeing Burhe waiting at the second gate of the main courtyard from afar, Yinreng thought for a moment and reached out to support Burhe who was about to bow and greet him. This action scared He Zhu, who had been serving Yinreng, so much that his eyes widened.

He knew his master's problem. He hated being touched by others the most. Over the years, except for the eunuchs in the front yard, even Nanny Wu was not allowed to touch his master. Why would his master take the initiative to support the Crown Princess today?

Could it be that the master's mysophobia has been cured? While He Zhu was still daydreaming, Yinreng had already helped Buerhe up and walked into the main hall together.

At this moment, Yinreng, who was walking in front, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not lose his composure. He did not retch when he helped Buerhe, and he did not feel nauseous. Otherwise, he really didn't know how many people outside would be waiting to laugh at him if the news that he retched in front of the Crown Princess just after his wedding got out.

Buerhe, however, didn't feel anything. After getting married, it was normal for her husband to help her. Even the servants in the main courtyard didn't make a fuss. In such a scene, He Zhu's difference was revealed.

Seeing this, Li Dehai, the chief eunuch of the main courtyard, came forward and embraced He Zhu and went to the servants' room next door. A table of food had already been prepared there, waiting for He Zhu to sit down.

Li Dehai: "Oh my dear Brother He, what's with that expression on your face? Did you encounter something that you can't talk about? Then you can talk to me and let me share your worries. The masters have gone in for dinner, and there are servants to take care of them. You can relax and take it easy here, and use some of your energy quickly, so that you will have the strength to serve the masters later, right?"

When Li Dehai approached and grabbed him, He Zhu suppressed his surprised expression. In this palace, the most taboo thing is to show everything on your face. Even though this is the main courtyard, as the eunuch beside the master, he cannot relax in the slightest.

He Zhu didn't care about Li Dehai's flattery. His master was the master of the entire Yuqing Palace. As the chief eunuch beside his master, he had to flatter wherever he went. A simple invitation to a meal like this was the cheapest he could do.

However, the position of the Crown Princess in her master's heart is unclear now, and He Zhu was a little nervous about his master's performance tonight, so he did not refuse Li Dehai's enthusiastic invitation.

If what he thought was right, then the main court would soar to great heights. In this case, it would be very necessary to establish a good relationship with the main court in advance.

Thinking of this, He Zhu also forced a smile, put his hand on Li Dehai's shoulder, and went to the servants' room with Li Dehai to have dinner.

According to the prince's habit of coming to the main courtyard to have meals in the past two days, the master would not finish his meal so quickly, so He Zhu finished his meal peacefully. When he finished his dinner and drank a cup of hot tea and came out to the door of the main hall, Yinreng and Buerhe had just finished their dinner and were sitting together drinking tea.

Bull didn't like tea very much in her previous life, and she doesn't have the talent to appreciate it in this life. In her eyes, tea only has the effect of quenching thirst. As for whether it has a sweet aftertaste, a sweet fragrance, or a refreshing fragrance, please forgive her for not being able to feel it at all.

Not to mention that contemporary literati or talented women like to drink tea together. Before, Buerhe had also attended gatherings between noble ladies. They gathered together to either recite poems, drink tea, or play the piano and appreciate flowers.

For the green tea in that small teacup, a group of people have to distinguish the name of the green tea, what kind of water is used, the water temperature, whether it is brewed, boiled or steeped, and even compare the color and shape after brewing.

She stood there listening to their enthusiastic discussion about whether it was Mingqian or Yuqian, and she felt that she shouldn't be there. When did the noble ladies start imitating the Han Banners and learning these things every day? Didn't Mama always say that women should be proficient in riding and shooting?

It was also after that party that she realized that she was out of tune with those noble ladies. It’s not that studying literature is bad, but there is no need to show off your elegance all day long. Why get together just to discuss the ingredients, time and category of a cup of tea?

She is pragmatic and pays attention to practicality. In her opinion, no matter how expensive the tea is, its ultimate purpose is to quench thirst, just like the way she manages her servants. No matter whether they are unique or not gentle enough, as long as the effect is good, the main courtyard is well organized, and her own fence is tied tightly, this is the ability.

After drinking a cup of tea, Buerhe didn't want to drink any more. He turned his eyes and saw the books that Yinreng brought with him. He was curious and asked, "What did you bring?"

Seeing this, Yinreng also put down his teacup: "Curious?"

Buerhe: "Yes, I don't know what you brought here. Is it your homework?"

Yinreng said, "That's not the case. I just noticed that there aren't many poems in your study, so I thought I'd bring a few over to help you pass the time." At this point, Yinreng suddenly asked, "I noticed some annotations on those elementary books in your study. Did you write them?"

Buerhe didn't know why the topic suddenly jumped to enlightenment books, but she was still very happy that she was not allowed to look at those so-called poetry collections right away, so she changed the subject according to Yinreng's words: "Yes, that was written by me when I was free after my enlightenment and reviewing. I'm sorry if it's too childish or superficial, my Lord."

Yinreng shook his head. "That's not the case. I actually thought it was perfect for children's enlightenment. I wanted to borrow your book to read more. I skimmed through a few chapters today and found them quite interesting."

Buerhe: "If you like them, you can take them directly. They are all my childhood things. Now that I have finished my studies, I can't use them anymore. I just put them there and look at them occasionally as a souvenir."

Yinreng: "No, I'll just look at it here. If I take it away, it will be troublesome for you to look at it again later. Besides, this is originally yours. How can I just occupy it like this?"

After saying that, he nodded to Bullhe, indicating that he would go to the study to continue reading the enlightenment books that he had not finished reading in the morning.

Bu Erhe also hurriedly followed. She had ordered the palace servants to tidy up the bookshelf in the afternoon, and she didn't know whether those storybooks had been taken away. If the prince saw them again, wouldn't he be angry again?

As soon as Yinreng entered the study, he saw the empty bookshelf on the right. He then realized that it was because he was angry during the day, so Buerhe should have had someone clear it out.

It is always pleasant to have your opinions valued by others, so Yinreng walked to the bookshelf behind the desk with a smile and took out the "Three Character Classic" that he had not finished reading in the morning and continued reading.

Buerhe followed in and saw the empty bookshelf at the door. She knew that the servants had already cleaned it up. She guessed that the books had not been dealt with yet and that was why they did not come to report. She put her mind at ease. Seeing that the prince directly took out the "Three Character Classic" and sat at the desk to read carefully, she turned back to the inner room and ordered the servants to serve tea to the study. She asked her personal maid Qi'er to loosen her hair and prepared to wash.

This afternoon, she had been discussing with Nanny Li how to manage the main courtyard and how to benefit Yuqing Palace in the future. She had no time to rest. In the evening, she had dinner with the prince and did not relax either. Now it was already the hour of Xu, and she was starting to feel sleepy.

Regardless of whether the prince was sleepy or not, she wanted to rest anyway. Without waiting for the prince, she ordered the servants to bring hot water and started washing.

Qi'er felt very distressed when he saw his master sitting in the bathtub and nodding constantly. His master was still young and in the process of growing up, so he needed sleep the most. He hadn't rested the whole day today, and he must be very tired now.

She did not disturb him, but gently took a towel to wash Buerhe. After washing, she carefully helped the dazed Buerhe to the bed to rest, while she brought a round stool and sat beside the bed to watch him.

The master has always had a problem when sleeping, that is, he likes to move around. The old lady has always tried to correct this problem, but no matter whether she slapped his hands or tied him with soft cloth, this problem has never been corrected.

This wedding was a hasty one. The day before yesterday and yesterday, Qi'er had been on edge, terrified to hear that her master had kicked the prince off the bed. Just when she was relieved, her master was so sleepy tonight from not getting enough rest during the day that she couldn't even open her eyes. You know, the more tired and sleepy her master's illness becomes, the more likely she is to develop it. Could she still be quiet and still tonight?

When the hour of Xu was almost over, the Crown Prince finally emerged from his study. Seeing the inner chambers were completely quiet, with only a maidservant at the door, Yinreng glanced at He Zhu, who immediately stepped forward and asked, "Where is the Crown Princess?"

The palace maid had just been assigned to guard the night. When asked by He Zhu, she replied timidly, "Yes, in the inner room with Sister Qi'er."

Yinreng said nothing more. Qi'er, who had heard the noise outside the inner room, quietly opened the door and appeared. She greeted Yinreng and said, "My Lord, the master is very tired today and has gone to bed. Before going to sleep, he asked the servants to prepare hot water for you. Do you see?"

It was impossible to leave. Since he was already in the main courtyard, if he returned to the front courtyard at this time, how would the servants look at Buerhe in the future? Besides, it was better that Buerhe was asleep. This way he would have time and opportunity to test his guess.

Yinreng: "Well, you can go down too. I have He Zhu to serve me here."

After hearing the prince's order, Qi'er was worried but there was nothing he could do. He could only bow and leave with worry.

Yinreng was eager to prove his guess, so he washed quickly. After washing, he pretended to be sleepy and asked He Zhu to go downstairs to rest, and then he went into the inner room.

As soon as the curtains were lifted in the inner room, Yinreng saw Buerhe's little face sleeping soundly. Looking at the chubby appearance, Yinreng couldn't help but poke it with his hand. It was soft, tender and smooth, and felt very nice to touch.

And he found that he really didn't have the disgust he had when he touched the woman before. Thinking of this, he took Burhe's hand again and placed her on his chest. Well, he still didn't feel anything.

However, it is estimated that his hand was moved, triggering some mechanism on Bullhe's body. Bullhe began to sleep uneasily, began to turn over, and pressed his hand under his body.

Seeing this, Yinreng was unable to pull Buerhe's hand out from under her, so he could only climb onto the bed in disappointment and prepare to lie down.

However, before lying down, he still thought about whether he should do another experiment. Thinking of this, he moved closer to Bull and Xuxu and hugged her. This posture was maintained for about five minutes. Yinreng didn't feel anything else, just a little tired.

After feeling the soreness in his arms and waist, Yinreng suddenly realized that he was a little stupid. He quickly adjusted his posture, stopped worrying about it, and prepared to go to sleep.

He was originally thinking about whether he should try other methods, but within two minutes after lying down, his eyelids began to droop uncontrollably, and in a short while, he fell into a deep sleep.

When Yinreng began to snore softly, Buerhe suddenly turned over and put one leg directly on Yinreng. Yinreng's sleeping posture was taught by the palace servants since he was born, so his sleeping posture was very good. He was in the same position when he fell asleep at night and woke up the next day. It was basically unchanged.
