A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

After exchanging a few jokes, Qin Suiyou noticed that Shuo Han and the others would be arriving soon. He then reminded the brother and sister, "From now on, just remember to call me Young Master. I will take you into the Prince An's residence later."

The brother and sister nodded: "We will follow your orders, young master."

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Du Heng opened the door, and a waiter came to ask if the dishes could be served.

"Sure, sure, please serve the food quickly."

As soon as Lu Xi entered Sanweixuan, he was thinking about eating. As soon as he heard the waiter's words, he couldn't wait to answer first.

While the waiter went to the kitchen to get the dishes, another waiter led Shuo Han and the other two to a private room on the second floor.

Upon entering, the three bowed and greeted the person as "Lord."

After Qin Suiyou responded, he said, "The brother and sister are named Du Heng and Du Ruo. They have been my servants for many years. I asked them to sell their old house and other large items before coming here. You just happened to meet them after you took your things. There is also Lu Xi's brother, named Lu Yu, who is guarding the luggage at the inn where we are staying. I want to take them back to the palace."

Qin Suiyou then told the brother and sister about the identities of Shuo Han and the other two, and the group exchanged greetings.

Then Shuo Han said, "You are the lord, so you can decide such a small matter yourself. Just inform the princess when you return to the manor."

Qin Suiyou smiled and nodded: "That's true."

There was a slightly larger round table in the private room, enough for several people to sit together. Qin Suiyou invited Shuo Han and the others to sit down.

"No need for formalities, let's all come together."

The three of them thanked him and sat down without much hesitation.

He Dabao added, "Zhengjun is truly handsome and kind-hearted. Although Sanweixuan is not the most upscale restaurant, it is very popular. I always hear people say how delicious the dishes are, but I've never had the chance to come. Today, I'm here thanks to you."

Lu Xi sat next to him, itching to eat for a while, but Sanweixuan's dishes were large and the plates were big, so one person could only carry one dish. Now that there were many customers, there were not enough staff, so the dishes were served a little slowly.

Right in the middle of the table was a fragrant and irresistible dish of chopped chili fish head, and Lu Xi, craving it, decided to talk to someone to distract herself.

What do you usually do?

"When I returned from the Northern Region a few months ago, I had to organize and report the military merits and rewards of the soldiers in the army, as well as the compensation for the wounded and injured soldiers. It was almost done, and we were just waiting for the Ministry of War to submit it to the Emperor for review and approval."

Lu Xi's eyes lit up as she stared at the tempting honey-glazed roast duck in the waiter's dish. She almost didn't hear what He Dabao was saying, but she managed to restrain herself and turn her head away.

"And what about the last few days?"

"Originally, I was going to find a doctor for the boss, ah, that is, the Crown Prince, but since the Lord has taken action, I've had quite a bit of free time lately. Remember to call me if there's anything fun to do."

Lu Xi's attention was mostly drawn away by the aroma of the food, but she still managed to find a moment to answer He Dabao's question.

"Well, okay, no problem."

Fortunately, the food and tableware were all served by now. The waiter withdrew, and Qin Suiyou started eating first, followed by Lu Xi.

After a pleasant meal, Qin Suiyou, as previously mentioned, strolled around for a while, during which he had Du Heng and his sister meet with Lu Yu, with whom he had secretly exchanged information, to retrieve their belongings.

After going through the process, the group of five became eight, and they also had more things to buy and four wooden boxes that were half a person tall brought by Du Heng and Du Ruo. So they hired a carriage and then the eight of them headed back to the Prince An's Mansion.

After the two carriages had traveled a short distance, two beautiful figures appeared near where the carriages had been parked.

“Miss, that looks like the carriage of Prince An’s mansion. That should be the newlywed heir.”

"To be able to bring so many people with him on a trip out of the manor, this young master from the Qin family is no ordinary man."

"Judging from his shabby clothes, he must just be bluffing."

"When did your eyesight get worse? Sigh, I wonder when I'll be able to see my good friend who married into the Prince An's household."

……

"Who is this lady...?"

When Qin Suiyou and the others returned to the Prince An's residence, it was still early.

Beitang Xinyue had just finished her afternoon nap and was spending time with her younger brother when she heard the news of her sister-in-law's return. She immediately thought of going to Wutong Courtyard and even wanted to bring Beitang Rui along.

Princess An was also there. She and Granny Ye were initially worried that Beitang Rui might catch a cold if he went out, and they disagreed with Beitang Xinyue taking her younger brother to Wutong Courtyard. However, when Beitang Xinyue said that she wanted Qin Suiyou to check on Beitang Rui's health, they agreed without much hesitation.

Because of his weak constitution and the toxins in his body, Beitang Rui had always slept longer than other babies his age, and his face was not very rosy. However, since taking the Rejuvenation Pill given to him by Qin Suiyou, Beitang Rui has been drinking more milk and has gradually become much more energetic than before. His complexion has also begun to change back to that of a normal three-month-old baby.

They were all very happy that things were developing in a positive direction, and they also wanted Qin Suiyou to see the situation more clearly. So, in the end, Granny Ye, a wet nurse, and Beitang Xinyue took Beitang Rui, who was wrapped tightly in swaddling clothes, to Wutong Courtyard.

Princess An thought it was her daughter's idea to go play with Qin Suiyou, so she didn't go with them. She told Beitang Xinyue to take good care of her younger brother and then let the others go.

When Beitang Xinyue arrived, Du Ruo and five maids from Wutong Courtyard were picking through some unprocessed, still-moist flower seeds that Qin Suiyou had bought on Xijin Road. These were much cheaper than the ones that were already ready to be planted. After seeing them, Qin Suiyou discussed with the flower grower and bought them. To prevent them from rotting, he asked Du Ruo and Jinzhu to stay in the courtyard where the seeds were in good condition and then go outside to process them further.

While teaching them, Du Ruo subtly infiltrated the group of five close friends she had known for a long time, and even showed signs of becoming their leader.

Upon suddenly seeing a beautiful, unfamiliar face, Beitang Xinyue felt inexplicably nervous, a feeling that reached its peak when Qin Suiyou introduced Du Ruo to him as his long-time maid.

The reason is simple: Du Ruo is too beautiful. Her features are delicate yet elegant, and her figure is slender and graceful. Her attire, which is different from Jin Zhu's and the others, makes it impossible to tell that she is a maid.

Nowadays, in families with some wealth, most mistresses will arrange for pre-trained maids to be assigned to their sons when they reach a certain age. Many of these maids will later become the young master's concubines. However, they are generally not very beautiful. But the beautiful Du Ruo undoubtedly makes Beitang Xinyue more worried about her brother.

Du Ruo respectfully bowed to Xin Yue in the North Hall.

"This servant, Du Ruo, greets the Princess."

With a thousand thoughts swirling in her mind, Beitang Xinyue, who thought she hadn't revealed a single word in response, made Du Ruo stand up.

Although she didn't know why the princess in front of her had such a rich expression after seeing her, Du Ruo didn't say anything and calmly stepped back to let Qin Suiyou continue talking to Beitang Xinyue.

"Please come inside and have a seat."

After inviting Beitang Xinyue and the others inside, Qin Suiyou instructed Du Ruo, "We need to hurry, it's going to rain in a little over an hour."

"Yes."

After entering, Qin Suiyou picked up Beitang Rui and sat down in a nearby seat.

"Why did you bring him here?"

Beitang Xinyue reached out to help straighten the slightly loose swaddling clothes. "Rui Rui has hardly ever been outside since he was born. I thought I'd bring him here to my sister-in-law's place for a change of scenery. I'm sure Rui Rui really likes you, sister-in-law. I saw he was almost asleep on the way here, but he woke up on his own as soon as we got to the courtyard gate. I guess he knew he had to see you before he woke up."

Qin Suiyou gently poked the soft little face of the baby in his arms with his index finger. It felt so good that he couldn't stop.

Beitang Rui, whose face had been poked, grinned, revealing his gums, which hadn't grown in yet.

The baby's smile was so heartwarming that Qin Suiyou was also infected by it and smiled gently.

Beitang Xinyue was surprised, "He's actually smiling so happily. I've been teasing him for ages and he never even smiled at me."

"It seems he really likes me."

Babies who don't yet have much objective thinking act primarily on instinct, and their likes and dislikes are expressed very directly.

Qin Suiyou added, "He's recovering well. In a few days, when the sun is shining brighter, you can take him out in the yard to bask in the sun more often, but not for too long. Let's skip the next couple of days, as it's going to rain again later. You won't be able to go back for a while with him. After dinner tonight, stay and rest."

"How did you know it was going to rain, sister-in-law?"

Looking around, Beitang Xinyue saw that the sun was shining brightly outside and a pleasant breeze was blowing from time to time. There was no sign of rain at all, otherwise she would not have dared to take her weak younger brother out of the courtyard.

After poking the baby's tender face, Qin Suiyou then enthusiastically touched the baby's little nose.

"Of course I could tell."
