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

Chapter 25: A gap between mother and daughter

Time passed quickly, and it had been eight days since Buerhe married into the palace. Early in the morning of this day, she woke up early without waiting for the palace maid to call her. When she woke up, Yinreng had just opened his eyes!

This was also the first time that Buerhe had seen how he slept while awake, or rather how he and the Crown Prince slept together. He had used his hands and feet to pin Yinreng down so tightly that he couldn't even turn over.

Seeing this, she quickly withdrew her hands and feet guiltily, but it was too late. The prince had woken up just before she did. Yinreng saw all of Buer's expressions and actions.

Yinreng jokingly said, "Isn't it a little late to put away my Crown Princess now? I've been suppressed for a long time."

Buerhe was feeling a little guilty at first, but upon hearing Yinreng's teasing, he immediately complained inwardly with a clear conscience: "Don't you agree? If you don't want to, this Yuqing Palace is yours. Who can stop you from leaving?"

However, Buerhe only thought about this in his mind and did not dare to say it out loud. The prince was born into a family of destiny. If he rashly made a joke about it now, it might not end well.

Besides, they had only just gotten to know each other recently. She'd been married for eight days, but they hadn't spent that much time together, mostly just at dinner. Of course, sleeping didn't count, because who could communicate in their sleep?

Ignoring Yinreng, Buerhe called the maid outside to come over to help with her makeup. Today, it was Liuli who came in. This was also arranged by Buerhe in the morning. Today, when she returned home, Buerhe was ready to hand over all the remaining secrets to Liuli. This time, she would take advantage of the return visit to have an open contact with her.

In addition to Liuli, Bu Erhe also plans to take Mo'er, Shu'er, Hua'er and Yan'er back with him. They are all servants of the Ulanara Mansion. It is not known when they will leave the palace next time. Taking advantage of this return trip, they can also have a short reunion with their families.

As for the main courtyard, Qi'er and two maids are there, so nothing will go wrong.

Seeing that Bu Erhe was busy dressing up, Yinreng touched his nose and got up as well.

Today's breakfast was very sumptuous. This was a rare time for the two masters to get together for breakfast without having to pay their respects or attend court. The small kitchen had carefully prepared many kinds of food, including the prince's favorite pork and auspicious vegetable buns and fish porridge.

Speaking of fish porridge, while its name is simple, making it is quite time-consuming. Take a fresh mandarin fish, remove the head, tail, skin, and internal organs, tie it with cotton string, and place it in a clay pot to cook. Then add pre-soaked rice, ginger, wine, and salt to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor. When the fish is cooked through, pull out the string, and the bones will instantly be pulled out. The fish will be completely dissolved in the porridge, making it difficult to distinguish between rice and fish. It tastes incredibly sweet and is also known to replenish qi and blood, and benefit the spleen and stomach.

According to modern health care, this fish porridge contains both carbohydrates and high-quality protein, making it an excellent breakfast.

The small kitchen did not forget Buerhe and prepared for her the water chestnut wontons and butter cakes that she had loved before she got married. They also prepared steamed buns with vermicelli and tofu filling, which looked soft and tasted delicious.

The prince was extremely satisfied with this breakfast. After he finished his own portion, he took away several steamed buns from Burhe's plate. Burhe was stunned and then he quickened his eating speed. He no longer focused on the wontons, but competed with the prince in eating the steamed buns.

However, the small kitchen had anticipated this and prepared a lot. After one plate was finished, another one was served immediately to ensure that both masters could eat their fill.

I don't know if it's because of Bull's age, but she's becoming more and more childish. In the first two years after she arrived, she was able to maintain her composure as an adult, but after two years, she's learned to act like a spoiled brat without any guidance. However, she's still very steady around strangers.

If the prince had not been teasing her all the time these days, and if the two of them had not slept in the same bed for several days, and their future was tied together and inseparable, Burhe would not have revealed her true nature so quickly and made a move to snatch food from the prince.

The prince was the same. In his previous life, he followed the rules and regulations, but it didn't end well for him. In this life, he was more spontaneous, but no matter how spontaneous he was, he was still well-behaved. Ever since Buerhe married into his family, he could sleep peacefully beside her and felt safe. He took Buerhe into his family.

When I was bored, I always wanted to tease her and see more expressions on Bull and that dignified bun's faces.

After breakfast, the two of them went to the Cining Palace together to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager, and then took a carriage with gifts and left the Forbidden City under the escort of a group of guards.

They left relatively early, so the streets were sparsely populated, but the stalls were already set up. Seeing this, Bull, who hadn't been out for a long time, didn't stay in the carriage and instead lifted the curtain to watch the world go by.

Suddenly, Bullhe saw a small vendor holding a big straw stick hurriedly passing by the carriage. The straw stick was full of red candied haws.

Yes, isn't this the time of year when hawthorns are ripe? Every year at this time, when my brothers come to visit me at the other courtyard, they always bring a few bunches for Buerhe to try.

Because she got married this year, snacks like candied haws, which are not presentable, never appeared in front of Buerhe again.

Seeing the eager look in his master's eyes, Mo'er volunteered to get off the car to buy a few strings for his master. Seeing Buerhe nod, Mo'er lifted the curtain and discussed with the coachman.

Yinreng, who was riding in the lead, saw this and turned his horse around to ask. When he learned that it was Buerhe who wanted candied haws, he signaled to He Zhu beside him. He Zhu understood and quickly asked the guards to help buy all the candied haws on the stick.

When the big stick of candied haws was delivered to Buerhe's carriage, Buerhe couldn't help but cover his face. Now the whole team knew that he was craving for candied haws.

But since the thing has already happened and the candied haws have been bought, in order not to waste the prince's kindness, Bu Erhe still reached out and picked a bunch from the stick, and let Mo'er take the rest out to share.

After dividing it around, there was still half left. The prince waved his hand and asked one of the young eunuchs to carry it and follow him.

In the carriage, Buerhe picked up the candied haws that she had carefully selected, slightly opened her red lips, took a light bite, and her face wrinkled instantly. This candied haws was so sour!

Bullhe narrowed her eyes, quietly waiting for the sour taste to subside. Now she would never open her mouth easily again. The hawthorns were just ripe, and the sourness was even stronger. Even though the hawthorns were coated in syrup, the sourness still overwhelmed the sweetness.

This was not the sweet and sour taste she remembered, and her expectations were instantly shattered.

Throwing the rest into the empty plate beside him, Bull took the milk tea prepared beside him and took a sip, finally suppressing the sourness in his mouth.

Now, even if he heard or saw the delicious food outside, Bullhe was no longer interested. It was too different from what he had imagined.

In fact, Buerhe was right to stop asking to buy these street snacks. The snacks her brothers said they bought on the street were actually bought in time-honored shops in Beijing. These were century-old shops, and the snacks were of guaranteed quality, which was not comparable to those sold on the stalls of these vendors.

The team continued on their way, this time without stopping, and soon arrived at the gate of the Ulanara Mansion. The entire family, except for the old lady, was waiting at the gate. After the Crown Prince dismounted and led Burhe out of the carriage, they all knelt and greeted: "Greetings to the Crown Prince, may the Crown Prince be blessed with good health. Greetings to the Crown Princess, may the Crown Princess be blessed with good fortune."

Burhe was heartbroken when he saw his father and brothers kneeling down to him, but the prince had not spoken yet and he could only stand aside in silence. Fortunately, the prince sympathized with Burhe's feelings of seeing his family and did not let them kneel for long. After they paid their respects, he stepped forward to help Fei Yanggu up and signaled others to do the same.

A group of people accompanied the prince and Burhe to the old lady's Shou'an Courtyard. At this time, the old lady was waiting in front of the Shou'an Courtyard.

Seeing Mama, whom he had missed for a long time, Buerhe could not help but quicken his pace. Yinreng also quickened his pace silently upon seeing this, and helped the old lady to her feet before she could salute. "You are so polite, old lady. Today, I am the son-in-law of the Ulanara family. We as a family cannot be too polite."

When the old lady saw her beloved granddaughter returning with a rosy face and the prince still being so enthusiastic towards her, she knew that Buerhe had been doing well recently. She smiled more sincerely at Yinreng and repeatedly invited them to go into Shou'an Courtyard to rest.

After entering Shou'an Courtyard, there was another round of arguing and pushing around. In the end, the prince and Burhe sat at the top, the old lady sat below the prince, Fei Yanggu and Jueluo sat below Burhe, followed by Burhe's eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother, etc.

The old lady first asked about the health of the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager in the palace, and then thanked the emperor for his grace in allowing her family to have a Crown Princess.

He also said politely to Yinreng: "Buerhe has been spoiled by me at home. If she has done anything wrong or has any shortcomings, I hope that the prince can be more tolerant for my sake."

This was purely a courtesy. The prince also knew that the Ulanara family had never thought that there would be a princess in the family. Strictly speaking, this was forced by the royal family, so he was apologetic in himself. In addition, Burhe was still young and was just a little girl in front of him, so the prince was very tolerant of Burhe.

Seeing this, he was ready to reassure the old lady, so he said, "Old lady, you're too modest. Ukuma Ma really likes Buerhe. She often nags her to try the yak jerky at the Cining Palace, saying she's a sweet and lively girl. This time, she even prepared a lot of gifts for me to bring back as a reward for the Nara Mansion."

After a pause, Yinreng added, "Even the Emperor was full of praise for Buerhe, always praising the good upbringing and discipline of the family. This time, he even gave me an early holiday and rewarded me with a jade ruyi. Oh, and he also asked me to bring a good bow to Master Fei Yanggu."

Hearing the praise and rewards from the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, the whole family's faces immediately broke into smiles. According to what the Crown Prince said, the royal family was still very satisfied with Burhe, so they were relieved.

Fei Yanggu also fully demonstrated his qualities as a military general. After hearing the prince talk about the good bow, he stared at Yinreng with burning eyes, allowing Yinreng to once again witness his father-in-law's straightforward character and was amazed.

It turns out that this is the emperor's favorite general. If Fei Yanggu had not died early in his previous life, he would definitely have missed out on a place in the war against Galdan.

The old lady also witnessed her son's embarrassing scene, but as a military commander, Fei Yanggu's nerves were not a big deal. After the simple greetings were over, she prepared to satisfy her son and asked Fei Yanggu to take Buerhe's brothers to lead the prince to the front yard to chat about some topics that men like.

These women also wanted to have some private conversations that they couldn't hear.

After all the men left, the old lady asked Wang Jia, who was pregnant, to go back as well. She was going to give birth next month. She must be very tired after waiting at the door early in the morning and just chatting with each other.

Buerhe also hurriedly persuaded Wang Jiashi to go back and rest, and asked the maid to hand over the gift he had brought for her to Wang Jiashi's personal maid. He also told her that if she was really tired, they didn't have to eat lunch together, because the baby in her belly was more important.
