Ever since Xiao Yu came to the farm, Concubine Zhen has been visibly happy.

That night, he asked the chef to stew the hunted game and the vegetables grown on the farm, making a sumptuous meal.

The happiest person is Yan Qing.

"Madam is so nice to us!" Yan Qing sat down next to Lin Chuan, looked at the dishes on the table, and couldn't help swallowing.

Doctor Lu couldn't help but tease: "You little bastard, pay attention to your image, your saliva is about to fall."

Only then did Yan Qing retract his gaze and sit up straight.

Concubine Zhen smiled with a loving look on her face, "The food you eat along the way is definitely not as good as what you eat in the mansion. If you are hungry, just start eating. Don't be restrained."

The meal was a lively one. Xiao Yu didn't eat much on weekdays due to health reasons, so Concubine Zhen projected her maternal love that had accumulated over the years on Yan Qing and Lin Chuan.

After a tiring journey, they knew they had to stay up all night, so they all took a nap in their rooms in the afternoon.

Therefore, after eating and drinking, he is still full of energy.

After sitting for a while and digesting the food, Xiao Yu decided to take a shower and change clothes first.

When Concubine Zhen heard that he was going to take a bath and change clothes, she said happily: "Wait a minute, Yu'er, I made a new set of clothes for you. After you take a bath, put them on and see if they fit you."

After saying that, she happily went back to her room to get it for him.

The clothes were brought over, a sky blue set with fine workmanship.

Concubine Zhen handed the clothes to Xiao Yu and said gently, "I see that you usually wear dark clothes. You are still so young, you can try other colors."

The color of clothes can sometimes reflect a person's mood. Concubine Zhen wanted him to feel more relaxed.

Xiao Yu took the clothes and raised the corner of his lips slightly, "Yue'er also said the same thing. You all said so. I will try it in the future."

Seeing that Xiao Yu had turned around and walked out of the hall, Yan Qing and Doctor Lu also stood up to follow him.

Concubine Zhen was a little puzzled, "Xiaoyan, Doctor Lu, you guys want to take a bath too? I'm afraid you'll have to wait, there aren't that many bathtubs."

Yan Qing smiled and gestured: "I, give you a bath, and Uncle Lu, give you a massage."

"Is it like this every day?"

"Well," Doctor Lu explained, "massage during bathing can help to stimulate blood circulation and is good for his health."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Go ahead!"

Concubine Zhen was in a trance for a moment. She realized that after not living together for so many years, she knew very little about her son.

When they returned to the room, Yan Qing had already moved the bathtub and Lin Chuan was helping to fetch water.

After the two of them had divided the work, Lin Chuan went out, leaving Yuqing and Doctor Lu in the room.

When Doctor Lu was giving Xiao Yu a massage, he thought of Concubine Zhen's confused look just now and felt a little reluctant.

"Aren't you going to tell her about your situation?"

"Yes," Xiao Yu replied softly with his eyes closed, "Mother has finally been freed from the palace. Now she has nothing to worry about every day. She probably thinks about me every day. Such a simple life is good. If she knew my situation, she would probably cry every day in the future."

Yan Qing wiped Xiao Yu's arm with a relaxed look, "Then don't talk about it. Anyway, when we get the Spirit Fire Grass back, all the problems will be solved. Why should Madam worry about it in vain?"

Doctor Lu was infected by Yan Qing's relaxed look and felt much more relieved. "Okay, then don't show any flaws in front of the lady. Don't take off the mask you're wearing these days. If you take it off, she won't be able to hide your complexion."

"Okay." Xiao Yu also responded in a relaxed tone.

After Xiao Yu washed and bathed, he changed into the clothes made by Concubine Zhen.

Looking at the clothes Xiao Yu was wearing, Concubine Zhen's eyes were slightly red. "Fortunately, the clothes fit well. The size I measured for you before has not changed."

Xiao Yu was puzzled, "When did mother measure my blood?"

Concubine Zhen pulled his outer robe and smiled gently, "I wanted to make you a set of clothes before, but I didn't have the cloth. Later, every time you came to see me, I secretly measured your clothes while I was sorting them out, and I have kept it in mind!"

Talking about the past, Xiao Yu felt nervous. His mother had to suffer so much because of him.

He looked down at Concubine Zhen and said seriously, "Now I have everything I need, so I'd like to trouble mother to make me a few more sets. Mother makes them and they fit me very well."

"Okay!" Concubine Zhen agreed with a smile, "But I can't just do it for you. Yue'er is my daughter-in-law, so she has to have it too. But I haven't had time to measure her yet. When you have someone measure Yue'er, write to me and tell me."

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Why bother? I'll just tell my mother."

Concubine Zhen was very surprised by this, but her face was full of praise, "Ordinary men would not remember these things, it is the women who remember them. They know how to care about their wives, and they do the right thing."

After saying that, he turned around and told the nanny, "Go get some pen and ink to record the measurements."

Xiao Yu said calmly: "No need, I'll go with you."

Concubine Zhen was just about to tell her son that this nanny was very attentive when she saw Xiao Yu walking out on his own.

She had no choice but to follow along with Mammy.

Arriving at the study, the nanny held a pen and waited for Xiao Yu to report the young lady's size.

Xiao Yu raised his hand and pointed to a point slightly below his chest, and said, "Her shoulders are here."

Nanny and Concubine Zhen both looked at Xiao Yu in disbelief.

Only now did they understand why Xiao Yu followed them.

After coming out of the study, Concubine Zhen and the nanny had been smiling, but Xiao Yu's face was as calm as usual.

Yan Qing looked curious, "Madam, what happened just now? Why are you laughing so happily?"

Concubine Zhen smiled and said, "You are still young. You won't understand even if I tell you."

Doctor Lu thought over the reactions of the three people and everything that had happened in his mind, and soon he also smiled, stroking his beard.

He also stroked his beard and said to Yan Qing meaningfully: "Madam is right, you are still young, you won't understand even if I tell you."

Yan Qing scratched his head in confusion, turned around and asked Lin Chuan who was sitting next to him, "Do you know?"

Lin Chuan also shook his head in confusion.

Xiao Yu sat down calmly, picked up the teacup beside him and drank tea. The cup blocked the upturned corners of Xiao Yu's mouth.

Several people stayed up together in the hall. Since they were located on a mountain, fireworks were not allowed. So Yan Qing, Lin Chuan, and several servants and maids set off firecrackers in the yard to celebrate the New Year.

Concubine Zhen, Doctor Lu and Xiao Yu were chatting in the hall.

In the palace, Su Lingyue and Caiyi and the others prepared a banquet with all kinds of delicious snacks and tasty fruit wine.

After the feast, Su Lingyue asked the servant to bring out the newly bought fireworks, and Yun Ting was responsible for setting off the fireworks. The laughter and joy lasted until midnight.

In a courtyard in the Prince's Mansion, there was the sound of a woman moaning in pain.

Su Nanxing lay on the bed, curled up, with cold sweat covering his forehead.

"Madame Liu, I'm in so much pain, please give me some painkillers."

Seeing Su Nanxing like this, Nanny Liu did not dare to delay for a moment. She took the small bottle, poured some powder onto a spoon, and asked Su Nanxing to take it with water.

"Your Majesty, why don't you call the imperial physician? It won't work if you keep holding on like this." Nanny Liu sat down beside the bed, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat off Su Nanxing's face.

After taking the medicine, Su Nanxing looked better.

She lay there with a pale face, whispering, "Before I get the prince's child, I must not let anyone else know about my physical condition."

Madam Liu sighed, "But seeing how painful it is for Miss every time she has her period, how can I report to Madam?"

Xue Man's burns have healed, but her body is covered with scars and she can no longer see anyone.

"No need to tell mother." Su Nanxing turned over weakly, "She can't help me with anything.

The doctor said that only the Spirit Fire Grass can completely cure the cold I contracted during my last miscarriage. I have already sent someone to look for it privately, but there is no news."

At this point, Su Nanxing's pretty face showed a hint of viciousness, "I heard that someone has spent 100,000 taels of gold to find it. When I find out who it is, I will ask that person to give me the Spirit Fire Grass obediently."
