Although neither of them could stand the other, they still managed to maintain a semblance of decorum on the surface.

Because of Kong Sangqi's special status, he could not be allowed to stay at the post station at will.

After discussing it, the officials of the Court of State Ceremonial specially found a large mansion and decorated it according to the standards for a prince.

It's no exaggeration to say that it's even more luxurious than Prince Yin Cheng's mansion.

It is said that Kong Sangqi brought his most beloved son with him this time. Yin Cheng guessed that it might be Hua Yue, but he had not found an opportunity to see him.

Kong Sangqi kept a close watch on people, so Yin Cheng couldn't just barge in blindly, since Hua Yue should be fifteen by now.

Yin Cheng thought he would definitely see her at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, so he had his secret guards find out where Hua Yue lived and sent an arrow with a message to her.

The letter contained only five words: Come to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

Little did Yin Cheng know that after he left, the crying in the courtyard continued until late at night.

At the end of July, the weather was very changeable, alternating between cool and hot.

My wedding anniversary with my wife is just around the corner. In the past few years, due to various reasons, I haven't been able to spend it with her even once. This year, I'm determined to celebrate our anniversary with her.

Yin Cheng racked his brains for a long time, and in addition to setting up the outdoor scene, he also decided to make a modern and popular doll bouquet for his wife.

Time was short, so after Yin Cheng finished drawing the blueprints, he quickly asked Jingyi to secretly find a few reliable tailors and instructed her not to let the King know about it.

He was not particular about clothing, food, housing, or transportation; these trivial matters were usually handled by the servants in the mansion.

Jingyi thought to herself, "The prince must want to make new clothes for the prince, so he found five tailors all at once."

Fearing his wife would find out, Yin Cheng called the man to his study.

Several tailors looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw the various colorful cotton and linen fabrics on the table. This wealthy family had always used silk and brocade; when did they start using cotton and linen?

Jingyi assumed it was for making new clothes for the prince, and thought, how could cotton and linen possibly be suitable? So she said tactfully, "Your Highness, we have two bolts of colorful brocade in our storeroom, which would be especially beautiful for making skirts."

"Uh, don't rush with the dress," Yin Cheng said. "For the mirror dress, go and get some cotton, bring a lot."

"Yes." Jingyi's heart skipped a beat, and her mind started racing.

Why cotton? Is it to make one of those bulky cotton robes for the king?

On the way to get the cotton, Jingyi began to think about how to make the cotton robe look good.

The tailors had all heard of Cheng Wang's infamous reputation, and with Jingyi gone, they became even more nervous.

Yin Cheng unfolded the blueprints. "Come here."

Several tailors approached cautiously, and the slightly bolder one asked, "Your Highness, what style of clothing would you like to have made?"

"We won't make clothes," Yin Cheng said. "Come and look at this blueprint."

The group mustered their courage and stepped forward to take a look, only to see a... rabbit drawn on the drawing?

This rabbit is very strange; it stands up on its two hind legs just like a human. If it weren't for its rabbit ears, you wouldn't be able to tell it's a rabbit at all.

"It's somewhat similar to the method used for making cloth tigers. See if you can make this rabbit."

Several people looked at each other.

Yin Cheng was somewhat disappointed. "You can't make it?"

"No, no, Your Highness, this can be done!"

The drawings are very detailed, even including a floor plan.

"Okay, let's begin," Yin Cheng said.

The tailors were all elderly men, so their skills were naturally superb.

Jingyi quickly brought over the cotton. He saw the blueprint and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, is this a rabbit?"

"Yes." Of all the simple drawings, Yin Cheng could only draw rabbits, and with just a few strokes, he could sketch an adorable little rabbit.

An hour later, one of the tailors timidly spoke up: "Your Highness, do you think this will be alright?"

After looking at it, Yin Cheng said, "Make the rabbit's ears a little bigger."

After two rounds, Yin Cheng finally found one he was satisfied with. "Okay, this is it. Stuff the cotton in and seal it. Make sure it's packed tightly."

With the help of several tailors, the doll rabbit was quickly finished.

After receiving their reward, the group left Prince Cheng's residence with smiles on their faces.

It was already dark. Jingyi lit a candle. "Your Highness, is this for the Prince?"

"Yes," Yin Cheng said, "but something is still missing."

Just as Jingyi was about to ask what was missing, Lin Nian's footsteps came from the corridor.

Yin Cheng and Jing Yi exchanged a glance. Jing Yi quickly tore off a piece of white cloth, wrapped the rabbit in it, and stuffed it into the jar next to them.

Yin Cheng picked up a book, pretending to be very busy, trying to cover up his true intentions.

Seeing that the man had been busy in the study all day, Lin Nian made some soup and brought it over.

"Ah Cheng, you've been busy all day, come and take a break."

Yin Cheng waved off his mirror-like clothes, put down his book, and beckoned to his wife, "Wife, come here."

As soon as Lin Nian got close, the man grabbed her wrist and made her sit on his lap.

Lin Nian shifted her position awkwardly and settled comfortably on the man's lap.

"What did you cook?" Yin Cheng put his arm around his wife's waist. "It smells delicious."

"I've made red date, yam, and pork rib soup. Honey, drink it while it's hot." Lin Nian picked up the bowl and prepared to feed the man the soup with a spoon.

Yin Cheng exclaimed, "Wife, you look just like Daji now!"

"What is it...?" Lin Nian fed the man a spoonful of soup to his lips. "Open your mouth."

Yin Cheng obediently swallowed the soup. "Daji is a fox spirit."

Lin Nian glared at the man with dissatisfaction, her eyes silently accusing him: Who are you calling a vixen!

"I think Niannian is a vixen too, otherwise how could she have completely bewitched me?"

Lin Nian: "..." This jerk can't be serious at all.

The bowl of soup was quickly finished, and Lin Nian got up from the man's lap. "Then I won't bother you anymore. You should finish your work and go eat something. Pearl and I have already had dinner."

"Understood," Yin Cheng replied.

Lin Nian leaned down and kissed the man on the cheek. "I'm going back now."

"it is good."

After his wife left, Yin Cheng took out a rabbit from the scroll bin and asked Jingyi to fetch some floral paper.

Yin Cheng went to the yard and picked many red roses, making them into doll bouquets.

Unfortunately, Yin Cheng overestimated himself; the bouquet he wrapped was loose and scattered, lacking any aesthetic appeal.

Jingyi couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to help her master wrap the bouquet.

"Your Highness, how about this?"

Yin Cheng gave a thumbs up, saying that the boy was indeed clever and skillful.

In the middle of the night, Lin Nian was half asleep when he felt the man fall asleep beside him. He turned over and snuggled into the man's arms.

The next morning, Lin Nian woke up to the fragrance of flowers.

He glanced down and saw a bouquet of flowers on the bedside table, with a chubby rabbit inside.

The man sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him and smiling.

"What's this?" Lin Nian asked curiously, pointing at the rabbit.

"Do you like the bouquet of plush toys from our area?"

"Um!"

Happy wedding anniversary, my love.

Lin Nian didn't know what a wedding anniversary was, but she knew it was a nice thing to say, and she smiled with her eyes crinkling.

At this moment, Pearl woke up and climbed onto her little daddy. When she saw the bouquet of flowers her little daddy was holding, she pouted. She wanted a cute bunny too!

Yin Cheng quickly handed over the smaller bouquet.

"Bunny!" Pearl was immediately attracted to the little bunny and liked it very much. She even held the bouquet of flowers tightly while eating breakfast.

After dinner, the man walked mysteriously to Lin Nian's side and said he was going to take him to handle an important matter.

Lin Nian looked bewildered. "What?"

Yin Cheng said seriously, "This matter is extremely dangerous; it could result in someone's death. Shall we take Pearl to my uncle?"
