Xunyang told Nangong Xu exactly what Chunchan said.

"It's a good idea. If they can really understand their roles, Prince Xu's Mansion won't mind raising a few more people so that they can keep an eye on them and don't give them the opportunity to hurt others."

"Yes."

The New Year's Eve dinner in the evening was particularly warm. Dongfang Li cooked several of their favorite dishes in person according to their preferences. Even the dumplings were stuffed and wrapped by the two of them together.

White flowers, round dumplings rolling in the pot, Nangong Xu has never enjoyed the feeling of home like this.

The kitchen was filled with smoke. Dongfang Li stood by the stove and took out the fried vegetables and carefully arranged them on the plates. Nangongxu was responsible for putting the vegetables into eating boxes and then taking them to Chaochen Pavilion.

"Ali, thank you."

"Okay, why are you thanking me?"

After the meal, the two sat in front of the window, and Nangong Xu handed the first cup of tea to Dongfang Li as usual.

"Thank you for giving me a new life, and thank you for spending the rest of my life with me."

"Then do I also want to thank you for giving me enough trust and security?"

Dongfang Li held his chin in one hand and played with the teacup in front of him with the other.

"It's my honor to be able to make Ali feel safe!"

Nangong Xu raised the tea cup in his hand, Dongfang Li understood, and the two cups collided in the air.

"Bang... bang... swish..."

The sound of clusters of fireworks released in the air drowned out the conversation between the two. Nangong Xu opened the window. In the yard, a pair of tall snowmen that the two had piled up in the afternoon came into view, while the scattered snowmen in the night sky came into view. The bright colors reflected on Dongfang Li's side made her look even more soft and stunning, making people unable to bear to look at her.

--

New Year's Day.

Nangong Xu rewarded everyone in the palace, and then accompanied Dongfang Li to the general's palace with gifts.

"I bring my whole family to pay my respects to the prince, and to pay my respects to the princess."

Dongfang Changqing took Mrs. Liu and Dongfang Jiao to salute at the door of the General's Mansion and welcomed them into the mansion.

"Sister, a few years ago, my mother and I renovated the garden where you live. Can you go and have a look later?"

Dongfang Jiao followed Dongfang Li and asked in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll go take a look later."

Knowing that they had good intentions, Dongfang Li did not refuse.

After lunch, Dongfang Li took a walk and went to the courtyard where she lived before. The snow in the yard had been cleared away, and the house was spotless.

"Madam, thank you for your trouble, Jiaojiao, thank your mother for me."

Looking at the newly added wardrobes, tables and chairs in the house, as well as the replaced quilts and bed curtains, although they were only slightly moved, they looked completely different.

"Mom said that my sister thought it was troublesome and never repaired it. Now that my sister is away, I can just clean it up. When my sister and brother-in-law come back, I can come over and have a rest."

"it is good."

"Princess, the prince asked his subordinates to come over and ask if they should go back to the palace tonight or stay here for the night."

Xunyu appeared at the door of the side garden at the right time.

"Go back. I will go to the Duke's Mansion in the afternoon to pay New Year's greetings to the Duke. The General's Mansion is my natal family, so I can come back anytime."

Dongfang Li thought about it for a while and decided to go back.

"Yes, then go and arrange the carriage."

"Sister, are you going back now?"

Dongfang Jiao was a little reluctant to leave. There were only two sisters in the house. Now that her elder sister was married, she was the only one left.

"Jiaojiao will have haircut soon. She is no longer a child, right? Now you are the only young lady in the house. Jiaojiao must know how to cherish it. The days spent together as a family are the most precious."

"Yes, I know, sister."

Although Dongfang Jiao felt dizzy after hearing this, she still nodded obediently.

"Jiaojiao is so cute."

Dongfang Li helped her smooth her long hair hanging to one side.

"Okay, I'm going back. If anything happens in the mansion, remember to ask someone to go to Prince Xu's mansion. If the prince and I are not here, go directly to the old housekeeper, remember?"

"remember."

--

"Let's go back and rest today. We'll see grandpa tomorrow. We'll leave for Qingshan the day after tomorrow."

In the carriage back to the palace, Nangong Xu hugged Dongfang Li and re-planned the itinerary.

"it is good."

Dongfang Li responded calmly.

"Nangongxu, can we have another baby later..."

When they were approaching the palace, Dongfang Li suddenly asked.

"I remember Ali said before that we can't consummate our marriage until my body has completely recovered..."

"But it has to recover, right? Finding the blood lotus is equivalent to finding the dream butterfly. All that's left is the blood dead wood."

Dongfang Li's voice was filled with uneasiness.

"Okay, then we will have a baby later, so that we can spend more time traveling with Ali."

"Actually, I prefer growing medicinal herbs to visiting mountains and rivers. Watching them break the ground, grow up, and finally watch them bloom and mature is a very fulfilling thing."

"Okay, then we will plant all the medicinal herbs on the mountain behind the palace, and then I will let people build a house on it. When we grow old, we can live there, work at sunrise and rest at sunset every day. "

Thinking of that kind of life, Nangong Xu couldn't help but yearn for it.

"Just watch the flowers bloom and fall, sit back and watch the clouds roll and relax."

A smile finally appeared on Dongfang Li's face.

The next day.

Nangong Xu and Dongfang Li arrived at the Duke's Mansion with gifts. The old Duke and his wife looked at the two people who walked in together, with water in their eyes.

"My grandson pays his respects to his grandparents."

"My granddaughter-in-law pays her respects to my grandparents."

"Good good..."

The old lady said three good words in a row, which was enough to prove her love and doting for the two children.

"It's such a cold day. You're probably freezing. Come sit down."

The old lady held Dongfang Li's hand and asked her to sit closer to the charcoal stove.

"Grandma, don't worry, it won't be cold. Your Majesty has prepared a small stove in the carriage, and you see, this Tangbao is still hot."

Dongfang Li spread his hand and asked the old lady to look at Mrs. Tang in her hand.

"Well, Ah Xu has done a good job in this matter. My wife needs to be cared for by herself..."

The old lady actually reached out and touched Dongfang Li's soup. After confirming that it was hot, she nodded with satisfaction and praised Nangong Xu.

"Yes, grandma said so."

Nangong Xu responded softly, with a rare flattery on his face.

"How is grandma's health lately? Before, the prince was in poor health and we were not sensible enough to come to see you and grandpa. Now that the prince is in good health, we will come to see you often."

Dongfang Li took advantage of the old lady's hand and gently placed her fingers on her pulse, feeling it carefully.

"As long as you are good, your grandpa and I will be good. Before, Ah Xu was alone and his health was like that, so we couldn't help him much if we wanted to. Now that he has you, he is lucky."

"Grandma is right, I am lucky to meet Ali..."
