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

Chapter 24 Harnessing the Yellow River

Yinreng's smiling look at Buerhe finally made Buerhe shy. She glanced at Yinreng coquettishly, pouted, and turned to go to the main hall.

When Yinreng also went to the main hall, Buerhe had already washed his hands after being helped by the servants and was sitting at the table waiting for Yinreng to come for dinner.

In order to cultivate their relationship, the prince did not follow the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping during dinner as he did before. Instead, he took the initiative to give the belly of his favorite fish to Burhe.

Buerhe felt flattered at the moment. He didn't expect that the prince would take the initiative to pick up food for him, and it was his favorite steamed fish.

It can only be said that this is a beautiful misunderstanding. However, if the prince had not told him, Buerhe would not have known about it. He just thought that the prince cared about him, so he knew that he loved to eat fish.

In order to reciprocate, Burhe also imitated the prince and picked up a piece of lychee meat for the prince with chopsticks. This was not Burhe's favorite food, but it was a food that Nanny Wu had told her was the prince's favorite.

When the prince saw his favorite lychee flesh, his mood instantly became cheerful. He didn't ask the eunuch to serve him the dishes. He just picked up the chopsticks and put the ones he thought were delicious into the bowl.

While putting the food in the bowl, he asked Buerhe if it tasted good. Buerhe had no choice but to keep picking up the food that the prince put into the bowl and give a serious evaluation of each one.

Seeing that the prince had not eaten yet but was still taking care of himself, Burhe quickly took advantage of the gap to pick up two chopsticks of food for the prince, and asked the prince to eat as well and give his comments.

The prince seemed to have found the fun. He stopped picking up food for himself and only picked up food for Burhe. He then asked Burhe to help him pick up food before he started eating.

In this way, you took one chopstick and I took another, interspersed with a few comments in between, and the couple spent almost half an hour on the meal. If the prince's portion was not very generous and the weather had not completely turned cold, the dishes would definitely have all gone cold in this meal time.

However, because of this meal, the couple finally got to know each other's general taste. Although it was not as detailed as before, it was generally correct.

For example, the prince likes strong flavors, and he likes the kind with heavy oil and saltiness the most. Secondly, he likes soups, but because he has to attend court in the morning, he cannot drink too much water. Otherwise, he likes to eat beef soup or mutton soup in the morning.

As for Buerhe, perhaps due to his poor health since childhood, he has always eaten a light diet, so his taste is light. His favorite food is soup, but mostly light soups like pear soup and winter melon and corn soup.

However, the two of them also have a common hobby, which is that they like antique soup the most in winter. No matter whether it is clear soup or with pepper or the chili that has just spread to the capital, the taste is so delicious that it makes people drool.

It is said that the Qing Dynasty also made great contributions to food. Before the Qing Dynasty, the meat dishes on the table were basically beef, mutton, chicken, fish, etc., and pork was rarely seen. However, after the Qing Dynasty ruled the entire Central Plains, pork was brought to the table.

For this purpose, many meat dishes related to pork have been invented, such as Fu meat, Amazun meat, Hubai meat, roasted whole pig, Suzhou meat, braised meat, oil-fried meat, preserved vegetable pork, garlic white meat, steamed pork with rice flour, Furong meat, eight-treasure meat, litchi meat, pot-roasted meat, sauced meat, etc.

After the meal, the two not only understood each other's tastes, but also became closer. They were no longer as unfamiliar as they were in the previous two days, with nothing to say and the silence following just two simple greetings.

After dinner, when the two of them were sitting there drinking tea, Yinreng mentioned that he wanted to eat pork and auspicious vegetable buns early the next morning. Bu Erhe nodded in agreement and ordered the kitchen to prepare them for the prince early the next morning.

Buerhe also took the opportunity to talk about the gifts he had given to the princesses when he went to pay his respects earlier in the morning, and his impressions of each princess. Finally, he explained the return gifts given by the Empress Dowager.

At first, Yinreng didn't feel anything about the gifts that Burhe gave to the princesses and his comments on their impressions. Later, when Burhe mentioned the return gifts given by Ukuma Ma, Yinreng remembered that he had forgotten to tell the Crown Princess about this.

Yinreng did not hesitate and told Buerhe that he had asked Nanny Wu to prepare the return gift. He also said that he would ask Nanny Wu to send the gift list to Buerhe tomorrow. If there was anything inappropriate, he could delete it directly and replace it with another one from the library later.

He also said that on the day of his return, he would ask for leave from the Emperor, and they would go back to the Ulanara Mansion early in the morning and return to the Forbidden City after lunch.

Since the prince was giving face to himself and the Ulanara family in this way, Burhe would definitely not refuse and agreed with a smile.

We drank some tea and chatted. It was already late. The lighting in ancient times was not very good, and it got dark quickly. It was pitch black outside. Even if we lit a candle, it could only illuminate a small area.

Since there was nothing to do, Bu Erhe prepared to rest early. He asked Yinreng with his eyes, and Yinreng understood and nodded in agreement. Then the two of them went into the bathroom, one on the left and one on the right, to wash up.

He Zhu and Qi'er, following behind the two, were completely bewildered. They wondered how their master had understood. What was he talking about? While they didn't understand, it didn't stop them from following and serving. They were just puzzled. They hadn't been distracted just now, so how could they not have noticed the tacit understanding between the two?

When Buerhe was about to fall asleep in bed that night, Yinreng suddenly asked, "Do you usually like to sleep with something in your arms?"

As soon as these words came out, the sleepiness in Buerhe's eyes disappeared without a trace. The lights in the room were dim, and it was not very clear to see things clearly, but Buerhe could clearly see the bright smile in Yinreng's eyes. Buerhe, who was still a little sleepy, blushed instantly.

Buerhe: "Not often, but sometimes I can't help it."

Yinreng: "Then your family didn't correct you for this when you were a child?"

Although Buerhe became the Crown Princess without going through the selection, if it weren't for this incident, she should have participated in the next selection.

The selection is different from this time. After the preliminary selection, the candidates have to live in the palace for a month, and the masters in the palace will observe the characters of the candidates. One of the items they observe is their sleeping posture.

Upon hearing this, Buerhe's face turned even redder. "It's because I'm a spoiled child. Mama was also very determined to discipline me when I was little, but I couldn't bear it and begged and pleaded to stop. Mama saw me like that and was helpless. She could only ask the maid to keep an eye on me and see if she could help me adjust while I was asleep. My condition had improved significantly. I heard from Qi'er that I haven't slept with something in my arms for a long time. But I can't be too sleepy. If I am too sleepy one day, this little problem might appear."

Upon hearing this, Yinreng became interested in correcting his sleeping posture: "How do we correct his sleeping posture? Do we tie him up with a rope? Or use a ruler?"

Yinreng's sleeping posture was developed in his previous life, so he did not experience these things in this life. The women he had in his previous life also slept in the same palace posture without exception.

In this life, the Crown Princess's novel sleeping position surprised him greatly.

Buerhe recalled the hardships of having her sleeping position corrected and said, "At first, it was just reminders, the kind where I'd be woken up in the middle of the night to fall back asleep. Later, when that didn't work, she had the maids tie my feet up with soft cloth. Finally, she even made the bed so narrow that I couldn't turn over. When she found that these didn't have much effect, and I couldn't sleep well and only dozed during the day, she gave up and just had the maids on night watch correct me when I moved too much in my sleep. These past two days, because His Highness doesn't like people keeping watch, the maids have been staying outside the door and haven't come in, so my sleeping position has become irregular again."

After hearing this, Yinreng was simply amazed. It turned out that this sleeping position required such arduous training. Women really had it hard. He vaguely remembered that he was not asked to do this when he was a child.

Since the Crown Princess had already suffered such a crime and still hadn't recovered, he didn't force it any further. He just said to Buerhe, "Then I won't pursue it any further. But you still need to be careful. I don't want to have another nightmare tonight."

Thinking about it, Burhe realized that it was because of him that he overpowered the prince last night, causing him to have a nightmare that night. So he assured the prince very embarrassedly: "Don't worry, I will pay attention."

In fact, what Buerhe didn't say just now was that Mama only trained him for two nights before she couldn't stand his aggrieved little appearance. In addition, at that time, the family always put his sister first, so the requirement for Buerhe was to pass the re-selection, and during the interview, Mama would ask the Empress Dowager to help him find a family of equal status to marry.

But things are unpredictable. No one could have predicted that her sister would die in the selection, and that she would soon become the Crown Princess. In the month that the imperial edict was issued, other trivial matters came one after another. How could she have found time to correct her sleeping position?

Anyway, she has become the Crown Princess. It won't hinder her marriage whether this sleeping posture is good or not. Besides, only the Crown Prince can see her sleeping posture after marriage. Would the Crown Prince be so stupid as to spread it to others?

So the old lady didn't take this sleeping position seriously at the time. She just thought about it and forgot about it.

It was late at night and there were other things to do tomorrow, so the two of them didn't talk any more and soon shut up and prepared to go to sleep.

Bu Erhe, relieved, fell asleep quickly. While Yinreng was still resting with his eyes closed, half asleep and half awake, Bu Erhe was already fast asleep.

Before Yinreng fell into a sweet sleep, he felt a rustling sound beside him, and then an arm crossed the open space and rested on Yinreng's chest.

Awakened by the feeling of a heavy object on his chest, Yinreng looked helplessly at the small white arm on his chest and could only gently push Burhe beside him. As if feeling something, Burhe moved his arm back after being pushed by Yinreng.

Seeing this, Yinreng stopped moving and continued to close his eyes. After a while, a thigh stretched up and pressed against Yinreng's waist, waking him up from his sleep.

Yinreng, who had just fallen asleep, was still a little confused and didn't understand what was going on. It took him a while to realize that it was because of the thigh around his waist.

This time, he didn't push Burhe anymore, but pushed the leg down directly, and moved his whole body inside, increasing the distance between him and Burhe.

Yinreng waited quietly for a while, and when he found that there was no movement, he finally fell asleep peacefully this time.

I don't know how long it took, but Buerhe gradually began to move, as if looking for a heat source, and little by little he came to Yinreng's side. This time, he began to pile his hands and feet on Yinreng.

Yinreng, who was already sound asleep, just frowned this time. He wanted to open his eyes but was powerless to resist the call of the god of sleep. He continued to fall into a deep sleep and went on a date with Zhou Gong.

Shortly after the Yin hour, He Zhu's soft voice called out from outside. Yinreng seemed to have heard something and opened his eyes at once. After listening carefully, he found that it was indeed He Zhu's call. After thinking about it, he realized that it was time. Today was a grand court meeting, and the court session would be earlier than usual, so he had to get up early.

Just as he was about to get up, he was pushed back onto the bed. It was only then that Yinreng discovered something was wrong with him. Bu Erhe had slept on him all night with his hands and feet on him.

Helplessly holding his forehead, Yinreng saw Buerhe sleeping soundly and pinched her upturned nose angrily. Seeing that Buerhe frowned and was about to wake up, he quickly let go of his hand, patted Buerhe's back with his big hand, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was asleep again.

Before getting out of bed, he quickly put his pillow into Buerhe's arms, fearing that she would not sleep well, and started humming again.
