He Sanlang lowered his eyes and looked at her unhappy little face. He pecked her smooth cheek comfortingly. "Seven days. After seven days, you can switch to medicinal cuisine. At that time, you don't have to be so strict. You can also eat and drink some fruit tea, but you can't be greedy."

Chu Lian could only nod helplessly at He Changdi's words.

Fortunately, it was only seven days. If it was a month or two, she would die of discomfort.

Chu Lian pursed her lips. She could only accept this reality.

She pried He Changdi's arm from around her waist. "Let go. I want to eat."

He Sanlang's lips curved and he let go. Chu Lian hurriedly jumped down and sat to the side.

In truth, when the two of them sat together so intimately, not only did Chu Lian blush, but He Changdi also couldn't endure it for much longer. It was better to separate.

Chu Lian didn't have much of an appetite. She picked up a few light dishes and ate a few mouthfuls before putting down her chopsticks.

He Changdi frowned when he saw that she ate so little. He personally scooped a bowl of chicken soup for her and placed it in front of her.

"You're eating too little."

Chu Lian didn't want to disappoint him, so she could only pick up the spoon and slowly drink.

Suddenly, she remembered something and turned to ask He Changdi, who was eating seriously.

"He Sanlang, where did you get so much silver to buy jewelry for me?" Those jewelry cost at least four or five thousand taels of silver. This was not a small sum.

He Changdi's slender fingers holding the jade chopsticks paused. His deep phoenix eyes swept over her.

Chu Lian's lips twitched guiltily. She added the word 'husband' to quell He Changdi's dissatisfaction.

After all, the two of them hadn't been together for long. Chu Lian was still not used to Chu Lian acting like a noble young lady in ancient times and calling He Changdi 'husband' without any qualms.

He Sanlang put down his chopsticks and stopped eating. He looked seriously at Chu Lian and thought for a moment before saying, "Lian 'er, I don't want to lie to you. I can't tell you where this silver came from for now, but don't worry, it's all mine. I didn't get it through improper means."

Chu Lian hadn't expected this answer.

She was a little surprised, but did not press him. She had read the original text, so she knew the general direction the Great Wu Dynasty would take in the future.

She didn't want to care about the matters of the court. She wasn't that ambitious. As long as she had enough money to spend and a comfortable life, it was fine. Why should she care so much?

Besides, there were some things that she couldn't change by herself.

Her wish was to be a comfortable rice worm. As long as others did not provoke her, she would be well-behaved.

When the time came, as long as the He family's general direction was not wrong, the entire He residence would be fine.

"Okay, then I won't ask anymore. But even if it's your money, you can't spend it like this. If grandmother finds out, I'm afraid she'll think too much."

That's right!

Now that Count Jing 'an's estate didn't have enough money to spend, he even shamelessly came to her and asked for Guilin Restaurant. However, He Changdi had spent a few thousand taels to buy jewelry for her. If Matriarch He found out about this, she would definitely be angry with the third branch.

The He family hadn't split from the main branch, so they still lived with their elders. They had to keep a low profile no matter what they did.

He Sanlang understood his wife's misgivings and difficulties. He reached out to stroke Chu Lian's hair. "Don't worry, grandmother won't find out. If a husband wants to buy some jewelry for his wife, do I have to ask for permission?"

Chu Lian rolled her eyes. How was he buying "some" jewelry for her? He was probably going to move the entire counter in the Precious Treasures Pavilion back.

"Eat some more."

He Changdi put some more food in her bowl.

Chu Lian sat next to He Changdi. Seeing him eat seriously, she unconsciously ate a little more as well.

She discovered that regardless of whether he lived in luxury or poverty, He Sanlang wouldn't waste food carelessly.

The couple only had the usual three dishes and one soup at the dining table every day. However, because Chu Lian had already improved the recipes, their dishes were many times more delicious than other people's dishes. The portions were also about the same, just enough for the couple to eat. There wouldn't be much left over.

Two days later, it was time for Chu Yuan's hairpin ceremony.

Chu Lian had already received the invitation, and it was her paternal home. She couldn't possibly not go.

He Changdi had to go to the Ministry of War's yamen today to hand over some matters. He wouldn't be free until noon.

When the couple woke up in the morning, Senior Servant Gui and Xiyan were picking out a dress for Chu Lian to wear.

Chu Lian came out of the washroom and saw that He Changdi was still there. She asked curiously, "Didn't you say you were going to the Ministry of War today?

Why haven't you left yet? "

He Changdi's deep eyes swept over Chu Lian, who was only wearing a casual dress. "There's no rush. I'll take you to the British Public House first, then I'll go to the Ministry of War."

Chu Lian was slightly surprised. "Won't this interfere with your work?"

As she spoke with He Changdi, Chu Lian sat in front of the dressing table and let Wenlan comb her hair.

He Changdi leaned against the rose chair by the window. Today, he wore a green official robe with a slightly darker colored cloak. His jade belt was tied with a high-quality black tortoise black jade, and his black hair was tied up with a jade crown. Although his temperament was cold, his face was like jade, and he looked like a gentleman.

Sitting there with his long arms and long legs, he looked like a mesmerizing natural painting.

He Changdi had already tidied up and was sitting to the side waiting for his wife.

Since he had nothing to do, he casually flipped through the book that Chu Lian usually used to kill time on the small table next to him.

Chu Lian's skin was delicate and fair, and she was at the prime of her age, so she didn't need to deliberately put on makeup.

After she finished combing her hair, she chose an emerald phoenix hairpin and a sapphire necklace to wear. She lightly brushed her eyebrows and applied a bit of rouge to her lips.

Although He Changdi seemed to be reading the storybook in his hands, fifteen minutes had passed and he hadn't flipped a single page.

Bai Cha, who was serving tea, saw Third Young Master looking in Third Young Master's direction from time to time and smiled.

Third Young Master was sixteen this year. Her facial features were more mature than when she got married last year, and the baby fat on her cheeks had completely disappeared. Now, her face was beautiful, and her beauty was natural. No matter how you looked at her, she was beautiful. Even a little girl like her was mesmerized by her beauty, let alone Third Young Master!

At this time, Gui Mo Po came out from behind the screen with two dresses.

"Third Young Master, which one do you think looks good?"

Gui Mo Po brought over two sets of clothes. One was a begonia colored five-piece dress, and the other was a bamboo green scholarly dress.

These two sets of clothes were sent by Wei Wangfu, and Chu Lian had never worn them before.

Chu Lian was about to say the begonia colored one, but He Changdi pointed at the bamboo green one and said, "I'll take this one."

Gui Mo Po looked at Chu Lian awkwardly, using her eyes to ask for her opinion.

Chu Lian nodded.

Actually, the workmanship of these two sets of clothes were exquisite, and the fabric was of the highest quality. Since they were sent by Wei Wangfu, they couldn't be bad.

Although the style was different, it made no difference to Chu Lian.

She didn't have high standards when it came to clothes, so Gui Mo Po was the one who usually took care of her clothes.

Gui Mo Po handed the begonia colored one to a young servant girl and put it back in the wardrobe. Then, she handed the bamboo green one to Xiyan.

When Chu Lian finished changing, her gaze swept over He Changdi, and she suddenly understood.

Today, they were actually wearing the same color of clothes. If the two of them stood together, it would look like they were wearing a couple's outfit …

Chu Lian pursed her lips and smiled when she thought about how He Changdi had interjected to help her pick out the clothes.

In the room, Gui Mo Po and a few senior servant girls also understood when they saw their master and her husband standing together.

He Changdi saw that she was almost done, so he also put the story aside.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to drape the ochre colored cloak over Chu Lian.

In half an hour, the couple arrived at the Ying Duke's Estate.

Sister Yuan was, after all, the di daughter of the second branch, so today's coronation ceremony was very lively.

Chu Lian's carriage stopped in front of the main entrance, and there were already mamas and senior servant girls there to welcome the guests.

He Changdi jumped down from the carriage first, then reached out his hand to help Chu Lian down from the carriage.

The old mamas who were welcoming the guests at the entrance were all perceptive, so of course, they recognized Chu Lian at a glance.

One of the mamas hurriedly ran over with a servant girl. "Sixth Miss has returned. Old Master and Old Madam have been talking about you for a long time." Then, she bowed to He Changdi, who was beside Chu Lian.

The mamas's eyes swept around, and when she saw Chu Lian and He Changdi's attire, as well as He Changdi's attitude towards Chu Lian, she became even more cautious.

"Sixth Son-in-law, Old Master, First Master, Second Master, Third Master, and the young masters are all in the study in the front courtyard!

This old servant will send someone to bring you there. "

Because He Changdi now had a noble title, the servants of the Ying Duke's Estate were even more humble towards him.

Chu Lian turned to look at him. "Do you want to go in and have a seat first?"

He Changdi shook his head. "You go in. I'll go to the Ministry of War's yamen and come back at noon."

Chu Lian nodded.

He Sanlang took the reins that Chu Lian handed over. Before he left, he squeezed Chu Lian's small hand and gave Wenqing and Wenlan a meaningful look. Only then did he turn around and quickly leave.

The mamas saw how much He Changdi treasured Chu Lian. Although he had official business to attend to, he still personally escorted Chu Lian back to her maternal home. It was clear that the Sixth Miss held a high position in his heart, so she didn't dare to slight her.

She carefully invited Chu Lian into the estate.

As soon as Chu Lian entered the Ying Duke's Estate and went around the screen wall, a servant girl in the dark quickly ran away and headed towards the inner courtyard.

Hidden Fragrance Garden.

This was the courtyard that Chu Lian lived in in the Ying Duke's Estate. Now, it was Sister Yuan's.

Sister Yuan was sitting in the embroidery building's boudoir. She was dressing up. Today was the day of her hairpin ceremony.

The second madam was afraid that she would make a mistake, so she sent her trusted mamas over.

At this moment, Sister Yuan was sitting in front of the dressing table, letting the wet nurse brush her hair.

Suddenly, a servant girl ran in in a panic and almost bumped into the head maid, Xiaoqin, who was holding a tray.

Xiaoqin angrily scolded her before asking, "What's going on? Why are you in such a panic?"

The servant girl looked at the Eighth Miss who was dressing up inside, then carefully glanced at the head maid, Xiaoqin. "Sister Xiaoqin, the Sixth Miss has returned."

Inside, Sister Yuan heard the voices outside and ordered the servant girl to go in and reply.

The servant girl trembled with fear and lowered her head as she entered the inner room.

Sister Yuan raised her hand to stop the wet nurse who was brushing her hair. She turned around and asked the servant girl, "Tell me about the scene when the Sixth Miss entered the estate."
