Song Chuanbai ran out of the gate of the Song family.

He stood in front of the gate and thought for a while.

He remembered that his sister used to love almond tofu from Quan Fu Mansion. He pursed his lips.

Since he was free today, he might as well buy her a portion.

Humph, he didn't care about that small matter.

As a man of indomitable spirit!

How could he be calculative with the woman at home.

He strolled all the way to Quan Fu Mansion. When he went in,

He found out that the almond tofu was sold out.

Song Chuanbai frowned.

Quan Fu Mansion was expensive, but this was the only bad thing about it. Every day, there was a limited number of dishes.

As long as it was sold out, no one cared.

They wouldn't make an extra portion.

Why not last time?

How could Lord Huai rob people of their food in broad daylight?

It was all because of the limited number of dishes.

There was someone behind Quan Fu Mansion. Everyone knew that. Because of previous experience, no matter if it was the royal family or the dignitaries in the imperial court, they could only let it go.

If it went too far, they would have to pay a large sum of money.

It was to compensate for the loss of the restaurant.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

A restaurant that dared to open a restaurant in the capital, which was full of dignitaries.

And set such an arrogant rule, but the restaurant had never been closed down. Who would believe that there was no one behind it?

The Song Family wasn't an illustrious family. Although Father Song's medical skills earned him the respect of the other families, he was, after all, just a doctor. In the eyes of the commoners, he wasn't as influential as the nobles. Song Chuanbai was just a commoner without any power or influence. When he heard the shop assistant say that the almond tofu was sold out, he couldn't help but feel annoyed that he was walking too slowly.

Although he didn't buy his sister's favorite dessert, he couldn't go back empty-handed. Song Chuanbai bought a plate of sugar-fried chestnuts and two sticks of sugar-coated haws. He wandered home.

Back at the Song mansion, Song Chuanbai didn't go to Song Xuan's room. He said, "Sister, look what I bought for you."

Song Xuan was not in the bedroom. He was sitting in the living room, eating a small bowl of food. When he saw his brother enter, he asked, "What else did you buy?"

Little Brother Song didn't hear anything wrong with his sister's words. He took out the chestnuts and sugar-coated haws as if he was presenting a treasure. Then, he said with a bit of regret, "It's just that I didn't get your favorite almond tofu. I'll go there early tomorrow morning. I'll definitely get it for you."

Song Xuan was surprised and showed him the white jade bowl. "Didn't you buy this almond tofu?"

Little Brother Song was even more baffled. He opened his eyes wide, "Sis, where did you get this?

I didn't buy it. When I went there, they clearly said that it was sold out. "

Song Xuan didn't answer, but the maidservant beside him said, "It was a waiter from Quanfu Mansion. He said that Young Master bought it from them."

Little Brother Song was even more puzzled now, "How is that possible? They told me that it was sold out, but in the end, they sent it home. Aren't they playing with me?"

Song Xuan probably knew who did it, so he didn't pursue the matter. Instead, he smiled and said to his brother, "I thought that our Chuanbai was finally rich. You're so generous. Quanfu Mansion didn't just send this dessert, they also sent many other signature dishes. This is not a small expense ah!"

Song Chuanbai sucked in a breath of cold air, "Sis … Sister, what did you say?" He blinked, "They sent many other dishes. Did Mother pay the bill?

Don't tell me you want me to pay for it? "

He ran to Song Xuan in small steps and shook Song Xuan's sleeve. He looked pitiful, "Sister, you know that your brother is a pauper. I don't have any money."

Song Xuan pretended to think seriously, then said, "I don't know if Mother paid the bill or not. If she didn't, then you probably have to pay for it yourself. If she did, then she probably used your future pocket money to pay for it."

Song Chuanbai looked as if he had been struck by lightning. After a while, he said with a sad face, "Then how long do I have to boil medicine for Father in the medical hall to earn back the money?"

Song Xuan looked at his silly brother and finally couldn't help but laugh. Nurse Sun probably guessed the truth of the matter and stood behind them, laughing as well.

Song Chuanbai didn't understand at first, but then he understood. He felt wronged and said, "Sister, are you teasing me again?"

Song Yao smiled and patted his head. "You're so silly …"

The shadow guard reported everything that happened in the Song Manor to the Regent. Liu Zhan unexpectedly smiled when he heard it, "That little fellow really said that he would teach this Prince a lesson?"

"Yes, Prince. The Song Family's young master seems very confident."

"Ah, then this Prince will wait for him."

On the day of Song Xuan's wedding, the Regent personally brought people to pick up the bride.

The Song Family's young master really did what he said. He was wearing a festive robe and stood in front of the Regent with his arms open.

"I know you have a noble status, but my sister is also our Song Family's treasure. If you dare to treat my sister badly, I'll snatch her back and let you know how to write the word 'regret'!" The young man's face was solemn as he said seriously, "I know you have a noble status, but my sister is also our Song Family's treasure. If you dare to treat my sister badly, I'll go and snatch her back.

The attendant looked at the young master with admiration. It's been a long time since someone dared to talk to the Prince like this. The young master's courage was commendable!

Doctor Song and Song Furen watched in horror. This stinky boy, he can't see at first glance, but he dared to run in front of the Regent and talk nonsense. How many lives do you have?

Hearing such arrogant words, the Regent's reaction was beyond everyone's expectation. He didn't get angry or ignore him as everyone thought. Instead, he bent down and patted the Song Family's young master's head. His voice was not loud, but it was not difficult to hear the seriousness in it. "You can rest assured that this Prince will not give you this chance."

It was the first time that Song Family's young master was patted by someone other than his family. His face flushed red, and he forced himself to finish the last sentence. "Then … you better remember what you said today. I'm not joking." Then he turned around and ran away in small steps under the kind laughter of everyone.

Liu Zhan looked up and saw the little red figure running away not far away. He felt funny inside.

Next, he picked up his Wangfei without any hindrance. Then, he carried out the dowry from the Song Family's house, which surprised the people outside the door. Didn't they say that the new Wangfei's family was just an ordinary family?

Now it seems that her family's background was obviously not thin.

There was a banquet in the palace. The ministers came with their wives and children to congratulate the Regent on his happy day.

The Emperor always remembered what happened that day. He even hated Song Xuan. Originally, he didn't plan to attend the Regent's banquet. He wanted to embarrass them.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhan didn't want to invite him at all. Liu Xiuyao waited in the Central Government Hall until evening. As a result, the banquet has been going on for a long time, but no one invited him to attend.

The palace was very festive. There were red lanterns and red silk hanging everywhere. The palace people who came and went had a sincere smile on their faces. It was said that because of today, the Regent specially ordered to reward all the palace people with two months of salary.

He didn't know why, but he suddenly remembered a lot of things in the past.

When he was a child, his relationship with Imperial Uncle was not so bad. Instead, it was very close. Because the royal blood was weak, there was no playmate of the same age as him in the palace. Only Imperial Uncle, who was about the same age as him, often took him to practice writing or play.

At that time, Imperial Grandfather was still on the throne. Imperial Father was far less favored than Imperial Uncle. The palace people didn't value him as much as Imperial Uncle. Naturally, the things sent to him were not as good as Imperial Uncle's. At this time, whenever he wanted something, he only needed to ask Imperial Uncle for it. Imperial Uncle would directly give it to him if he could. For some things that Imperial Uncle couldn't do, Imperial Uncle would ask Imperial Grandfather for it.

Imperial Uncle treated him so well at that time!

He really treated him better than Imperial Father.

But when did it become like this between them?

Who was at fault for all of this?

A tear fell from Liu Xiuyao's eyes. It couldn't go back, it couldn't go back …

The crack had formed. There was no possibility of recovery!

…

The days after the marriage were no different from before.

Even though the Regent had ordered people to prepare a room for Wang Fei, he didn't agree to let people move in. Even though this was against the rules and etiquette passed down by the ancestors, no one in the world could control the Regent. The Imperial Censor pretended not to know about this. The Left Prime Minister and the two old wangye didn't speak, so it wasn't his turn to speak.

The cook of "Quan Fu Lou", who was the best at making desserts, was arranged by Liu Zhan to enter the small kitchen of Xuande Hall. After the order was given, he would only make desserts for Wang Fei.

One morning, Liu Zhan woke up early as usual. He lowered his head to look at the person sleeping peacefully in his arms.

These two days, she seemed to be particularly sleepy. It was fine if she woke up late in the morning, but her nap at noon was also very long. Liu Zhan couldn't help but worry.

Gently moving the person out of his arms, he got off the bed and went to the outer room to wear his robes.

Sun mama heard the noise and came over to help Wang Ye tie his belt. Liu Zhan remembered this and ordered in a low voice, "When Wang Fei wakes up, send someone to the Imperial Hospital to call a taiyi over. Ben wang feels that Wang Fei has been very tired these two days."

Sun mama had seen Song Xuan's behavior these two days and had a guess. But it hadn't been long and she couldn't be sure. But since Wang Ye said so, then she would call a taiyi over to take a look. That would put her mind at ease.

She responded, "Nubi understands."

Liu Zhan put on his robes and walked into the inner room. He lifted the curtain and looked at Song Xuan. Her little face was red from sleep, her breathing even. She was still sleeping soundly and didn't seem to be abnormal. Liu Zhan's brows were still furrowed — usually, at this time, A Guan would have woken up.

He lowered his head to kiss her forehead. Song Xuan didn't respond and was still sleeping soundly.

Liu Zhan frowned and tucked her in. He turned and strode out of the hall.

"Wang Shun."
