Cheng Hu couldn't help but sigh, "Alas! My two brothers and I have been exposed to this biting cold wind for quite a long time!"

Yiermu nodded slightly, her eyes full of tenderness as she looked at her husband, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, husband. It's really not easy to be busy with state affairs all day. But I remember that after some time, when the emperor puts down his pen, you won't have to get up so early to attend the morning court anymore, right?

Cheng Hu: "Well, once Father stops writing, we won't have to attend the morning court anymore, and we can rest for a few days."

Yiermu: "My dear husband, please sit down first. I will go and see if lunch is ready." Then she walked out.

Qin Jin: "Crown Princess."

Yiermu said to Qin Jin with a serious face, "Qin Jin, go and make arrangements quickly. This carriage needs to be cleaned up properly, especially with soft cushions inside so that the Crown Prince can sit comfortably. Also, tell the kitchen staff in advance to start preparing some of the Crown Prince's favorite foods early tomorrow morning and put them in the carriage. Don't delay anything!"

Qin Jin quickly agreed: "Yes, Her Majesty the Crown Princess has thought it through. I will do it right away." Yiermu nodded with satisfaction and turned back to her room.

Cheng Hu was reclining on the couch, eyes closed, resting. He opened his eyes at the sound of movement and saw Yi Ermu come in. He reached out and pulled her over to sit beside him. "Just now, I heard you tell Qin Jin that you were thinking of me in everything. It's really troublesome."

Yiermu smiled lightly, "This is what I should do. My husband is busy with government affairs, and I just hope to make him feel at ease."

Soon, lunch was served, and Yiermu personally served the dishes. While they were eating, a panicked voice suddenly rang out from the palace maid: "Crown Princess, someone from the Concubine's side said she's not feeling well and might have caught a cold."

Yiermu frowned slightly and glanced at Chenghu. Chenghu put down his chopsticks and said, "Since he is sick, let's call the imperial physician to take a look."

Although Yiermu was unhappy, she said gently, "I will send someone to call the imperial physician and have someone send some nourishing food over."

Chenghu patted her hand in appreciation, but Yiermu thought to himself that the timing of this concubine's illness was too coincidental, and she might be trying to win favor.

The Third Prince's Mansion

Yinreng returned to the mansion and strode into the main courtyard: "Wow, this weather is really cold."

Yaliqi: "Master, you're back. You must be freezing. Binglan, quickly make me some hot tea."

Yinreng: "Yaliqi, you didn't go out today, did you?"

Yaliqi: "I just went to check on the two iron-eating beasts you gave me. It's cold out, and I was afraid they'd freeze to death, so I asked someone to find a room to lock them up."

Yinreng took a sip of hot tea and said slowly, "You are thoughtful. I thought there would be nothing to do in the court today, but who knew that there would be so many trivial matters."

Yaliqi gently massaged his back and said softly, "Master, you have worked hard. I cannot share the government affairs with you. I can only let you relax in the backyard."

Yinreng: "By the way, the birthday gift for big brother is ready. We will go to celebrate big brother's birthday the day after tomorrow. I don't know what arrangements big sister-in-law will make."

Yalichi replied, "I have already prepared it. It is a painting from my dowry. My brother found it before the wedding. My lord, please take a look and unfold it. Yinreng nodded and praised, "It is very good. My elder brother has always liked books, calligraphy and paintings.

Fifth Prince's Mansion

Yinzhen returned to the mansion and went back to the main courtyard: "Xiao Xingxing, why did you bring the iron-eating beast back into the house?"

Wu Xiha: "Master, you are back. It is snowing now. I was afraid they would freeze, so I brought them back to the house. This is a gift from you, my husband."

Yinzhen smiled helplessly, "You are always so childish. But my mother kept this iron-eating beast indoors during the winter."

Wu Xiha was overjoyed to hear this and snuggled up to Yinzhen. Suddenly, she remembered something, "Master, the New Year is coming in a few days. I want to personally take care of the arrangements in the mansion. It must be lively and exciting."

Yinzhen looked at her lovingly and said, "It's all up to you, but don't tire yourself out."

Wu Xiha smiled and nodded, already planning all kinds of novel decorations and activities in his mind, determined to fill the mansion with a joyous atmosphere.
