After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Yin Cheng was summoned to the palace by the emperor.

The fact that a secret guard was sent to deliver the message, rather than an imperial edict, suggests that it's not a major matter.

When he went to take a look, he found that the bicycle had actually been made by the Ministry of Works.

Yin Cheng demonstrated riding a bicycle to his brother on the spot, and the emperor immediately summoned several clever palace servants to learn how to ride a bicycle.

Yin Cheng looked incredulous. "Does this thing even need to be taught? Anyone can do it!"

The older brother punched his younger brother hard, yelling, "Go now, if you can't teach them, don't come back today!"

"Then should I hang myself at Zhengyang Gate?"

"It seems Jiangzhou sent over a set of pearl and red coral jewelry a few days ago. Niannian probably didn't like it... Oh well, Xiao Anzi, just throw it in the storeroom."

When these words reached Yin Cheng's ears, it was no different from saying: "Hermes 4 top-grade crocodile leather bag, complete with all accessories, a limited edition worldwide, first come, first served."

He said enthusiastically, "Hey you guys, stop dawdling and get your feet moving!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Xiao Anzi silently gave His Majesty a thumbs up in his heart.

As dusk fell, finally a clever and quick-witted palace maid was able to ride a bicycle freely on the flat ground.

Yin Cheng, holding the makeup box, happily went home to find his wife.

He skillfully scaled the wall and entered the courtyard, where he saw Old Man Xue waiting for him.

Yin Cheng asked, "Did you need something from me?"

Old Xue tossed him a tattered book. "I've never seen the second half of the Heavenly Heart Sutra either, so I don't know if this one is real. Just practice it casually; maybe it's genuine."

"Alright." Yin Cheng easily caught the flying, tattered book. "Hey, so you haven't practiced the second half either? How come you're not blind?"

Old Xue remained silent at first, then became enraged, and finally gritted his teeth, "..."

Yin Cheng suddenly realized, "I get it now. You're not as smart as me, so your training isn't as good, right?"

Old Xue blushed, turned around and left, saying, "I'm leaving."

"Where are we going?" Yin Cheng asked.

Old Xue didn't turn around, he just said, "Go to Yanru."

"Okay, be careful." Yin Cheng thought for a moment, then said to his back, "If Yan Ru calls, you can cover for me."

Old Xue waved his hand, walked out of the doorway into the setting sun, leaving Yin Cheng with only a lonely silhouette.

The setting sun cast a long shadow of Old Xue, which disappeared as soon as he turned the corner, leaving only a warm golden sunset on the ground.

Yin Cheng shook the dust off the tattered book and stuffed it into his bosom.

When they returned to their room, Lin Nian was packing their belongings with Jing Yi.

"What are you doing?" Yin Cheng placed the makeup box on the dressing table, walked to Lin Nian's side, and naturally took the clothes from his hands and began to fold them.

Lin Nian said, "Let's pack up, we should go back to Caixia City. Besides, I've been thinking about it, I'm still in my postpartum period, so walking won't be a problem. If I were older, it would be much more difficult."

Yin Cheng paused, frowned, and said, "I don't plan to go back now."

Lin Nian said, "But Emperor Yanru has already gone back. What if he attacks us?"

"No, don't worry," Yin Cheng said. "We'll talk about it after the second baby is born."

I already neglected my wife and children last time, so this time I'm determined to stay by their side no matter what.

Lin Nian naturally understood the man's thoughts, but the responsibility on a man's shoulders was too heavy. How could he put the lives and deaths of the people on the border aside for his own sake?

He pursed his lips. "But..."

The mirrored garment was quietly removed.

Yin Cheng put his arm around his wife and said, "Don't worry, the deployment in the North is very good. As long as there isn't a large-scale war, it doesn't matter whether I'm here or not. Honey, you should know this too."

Lin Nian said, "I'm just worried about war!"

"No," Yin Cheng said casually. "As long as Kong Sangqi can maintain his throne, this war won't break out anytime soon."

Lin Nian asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Yin Cheng simply smiled enigmatically, offering no answer, but instead changed the subject, "Niannian, what are your thoughts on the matter between Fourth Brother and Lanshu?"

Lin Nian shook her head, looking somewhat worried. "Since Fourth Brother left, Lan Shu has been staying in her room all day, feeling depressed."

"How about we go on a trip to Ningzhou?"

Lin Nian's eyes lit up. "Is it okay?"

"If we travel by water, it should take about half a month to reach Ningzhou. Honey, do you get seasick?" Yin Cheng asked. "If you don't get seasick, the cabin is much more comfortable than a carriage. You won't feel sore all over like you do in a carriage."

Yuezhou is mountainous, so the official road to Caixia City is always winding, steep and treacherous.

The area from the capital to Ningzhou is mostly plains, so traveling by water along the river wouldn't be as difficult.

Yin Cheng thought for a moment and added, "Especially pregnant men."

Lin Nian automatically ignored the man's last sentence and quickly said, "No, no, when do we leave?"

Yin Cheng stared straight at his wife without saying a word.

Lin Nian skillfully leaned over and gave him two quick kisses, "Ah Cheng, husband~"

"That's it?" Yin Cheng said. "Wife, show some sincerity."

Lin Nian cupped the man's face and gave him a serious kiss.

"Isn't that enough sincerity now?"

"not enough."

"You're pushing your luck!" Lin Nian angrily picked up the clothes on the bed and threw them at the man. "You fold them. No one is allowed to help you. You're not allowed to eat until you finish."

Yin Cheng: "...Or shall we discuss this further?"

Lin Nian gave a cold and ruthless "humph," then turned and tried to walk away.

Yin Cheng casually tossed aside the clothes his wife threw at him, then stepped forward and scooped her up in his arms. "You've gone too far! Can't you tell the difference between a king and a princess?"

Lin Nian nestled in the man's arms, ignoring his bluff.

The Prince of Cheng now is not the naive young master Lin from before. The man has definitely planned everything long ago, and now he's digging a pit for him to fall into.

He won't fall for it!

"Put me down. I made plans with Pearl to have lunch with Zhaozhao at the cafeteria today. Zhaozhao is afraid of you, so you shouldn't go."

Yin Cheng was furious. "That brat dares to poach my guy?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? He's a young man," Lin Nian said. "Put me down, quickly."

Yin Cheng reluctantly put his wife down. "And me?"

"Eat by yourself. You're a grown woman, why do you need someone to keep you company?" Lin Nian said. "Our Pearl can eat by herself obediently, husband, I believe you can too!"

Yin Cheng: "...I don't think I'm really capable."

"By the way, I gave Xiao Jiu'er a month-long honeymoon leave. If you need anything during this time, just call Yin Zhu." Lin Nian suppressed a laugh and kissed the man on the cheek. "I'll go ask Yin Zhu to serve you the food."

Yin Cheng was filled with impotent rage and, in his mind, imagined a hundred ways for Si Zhaozhao to die.

In the evening, when Lin Nian returned to her room, she saw that the food on the table hadn't been touched, and assumed that the man was angry.

His conscience ached slightly, and he felt like a scoundrel who abandoned his husband to enjoy a life of luxury on his own.

He asked Yinzhu to remove the cold food and went to the kitchen to personally cook the dishes that men like and bring them up.
