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

After Lin Wu's wedding banquet ended, it was time to say goodbye.

On the day everyone returned to the capital, the one who cried the most was Little Round Face.

When Pearl cried, Lin Siheng also cried, while Zhao Duo, like a little adult, kept a straight face and comforted the two of them.

Zhao Duo patted Pearl's head. "I will come to the capital to see you in the future. Don't cry."

Pearl sobbed, "Then you have to come see me."

"Uh-huh."

"Pinky promise."

Yin Cheng, standing to the side, grinned sarcastically, "How about I just beat this kid to death right now?"

Lin Nian covered the man's mouth while punching him, "Can you please shut up!"

That jerk, he can't even keep his mouth shut! Zhao Duo's parents were right there watching!!

Zhao Duo comforted Pearl, and then began to comfort Lin Siheng.

Lin Siheng finally met a good brother with similar interests, but they hadn't even known each other for a few days before they had to part ways.

He was crying his heart out when suddenly his father kicked him hard in the butt.

Lin Siheng rubbed his bottom and reluctantly stopped crying.

After the group left, Zhao Lang sighed, "I thought he would at least come to the military camp once, but I never expected him to have come even once. Has he forgotten that he is the Grand Marshal of the Armed Forces, responsible for commanding the three armies?"

Atuna Qianyuan said, "Husband, instead of worrying about this, you should worry about how Xinhui will be able to marry Pearl in the future."

Zhao Lang was slightly surprised. "If I remember correctly, Xin Hui is only five years old, right?"

Atuna Qianyuan said, "Who told our son to like him, right, Xinhui?"

Zhao Duo didn't respond, but just stared blankly in the direction the group had left.

Inside the carriage, Pearl nestled in Yin Cheng's arms, sobbing uncontrollably, her little voice filled with grievance, "Waaah, Daddy."

"Baby, don't cry anymore, your face is all red from crying." Yin Cheng wiped away Xiao Yuanyuan's tears and spent a long time coaxing her before he finally managed to calm her down.

When they returned, Lin Er brought a merchant ship to accompany the whole family.

The family returned to Beijing in mid-October.

The osmanthus trees in Prince Cheng's Mansion are in bloom, and the whole courtyard is filled with fragrance.

Lin Nian was already showing some signs of pregnancy, and Yin Cheng touched her belly several times a day to make sure the baby was still there.

Although the man didn't say it, Lin Nian knew it was because of the debt she owed him and Pearl.

Lin Nian didn't want the man to feel guilty, so every day she would tirelessly say, "The baby is fine." "Both babies are fine." "I'm fine too."

Pearl also started taking classes, with an old palace attendant from the palace teaching her etiquette.

Before long, Pearl was able to give her father a very standard greeting.

Yin Cheng had just finished his morning court session when Pearl ran towards him.

Halfway there, Little Round Face realized his movements weren't elegant enough, so he quickly stopped and took small, quick steps to his father.

"May Father be well, and may Little Father be well."

Yin Cheng was stunned for a moment, then the old father smiled and whispered to his wife, "You know what, our little pearl is quite the looker."

Lin Nian smiled and said, "Of course, His Majesty sent the best etiquette official in the palace."

Pearl bowed, then slouched and took her leave, shuffling out with tiny steps. Once outside, her true nature was immediately revealed; her short legs trotted off, calling out, "Brother Siheng, I'm here!"

Yin Cheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Our good boy takes after you."

Lin Nian glared at him, knowing that the man was teasing him.

Yin Cheng leaned in and kissed his wife, "Just as adorable."

Lin Nian gave a light snort and helped the man take off his court robes. "Why are you so late coming back from court today? Did His Majesty keep you here?"

Yin Cheng thought to himself: This doesn't sound right. It sounds like his wife is asking him if he didn't pay attention in class and made the teacher keep him after school.

"He asked me to be regent," Yin Cheng said. "I told him I didn't have the ability, and then he showed me his belly."

Lin Nian blinked, then immediately understood, and asked in a whisper, "Got it?"

"Hmm, probably around the same month as our second child."

Lin Nian said, "So you agreed?"

"What else can we do?" Yin Cheng sighed. "We can't let him go to court with such a big belly. If he gets angry at those old men and something bad happens, my brother-in-law could poison everyone in the capital."

"Honey, you've worked so hard." Lin Nian smiled and said, "Let me give you a shoulder massage."

Yin Cheng held Lin Nian's hand, "My wife has it a little harder."

Lin Nian said, "By the way, honey, Zhao Zhao said he wants to open a food shop in the capital, and I agreed. I'm afraid he'll be bullied in the capital, so I let him open the shop under the name of the Prince's Mansion."

What is he planning to sell?

"They say it's a butter hot pot, I'm looking forward to it," Lin Nian asked. "What's that? Is it the kind of mutton hot pot we eat in winter?"

Yin Cheng said, "Uh... more or less." In this era, there were already specialized cattle farmers, and although beef was expensive, it had become a common dish on the tables of ordinary people.

"He asked if he could open a livestock farm; he wanted to raise cattle."

"We'll ask Jingyi later if we have any land in the suburbs, and then we can allocate it to him."

Lin Nian nodded. "He also said he wanted to sign a contract with me, splitting the profits 50/50. He would contribute his technology as equity, and I would only need to invest money. I didn't understand any of what he was saying, but I gave him 100 taels of gold to open a shop."

"Let me take a look at the contract."

Lin Nian brought over the contract drafted by Si Zhaozhao. Yin Cheng took one look and immediately felt better. "Wife, look, his handwriting is even uglier than mine."

Lin Nian: "..."

Lin Nian said listlessly, "Honey, can't you pay attention to something useful?"

Yin Cheng glanced at it briefly. "Although the contract is well-drafted, has he forgotten that I am a prince? This contract can only bind him, not me."

"Stop bullying him." Lin Nian put the contract away and carefully placed it in the box. "He also said he wanted to give us a job opportunity, which I think is great."

"His ideas are quite modern," Yin Cheng said. "Tell him to work hard and try to achieve something. Before we return to the Northern Border, we'll give him a county princess title."

Lin Nian said, "Okay."

To thank Lin Nian for her generous donation, Si Zhaozhao immediately notified Lin Nian to try the hot pot as soon as she invented it.

Considering his physical condition, and also the presence of little Pearl, Si Zhaozhao specially made a hot pot with two separate broths.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it started snowing in the capital.

Lin Nian was in her late pregnancy and felt listless all day. Coupled with back pain, she didn't want to go out at all.

Yin Cheng was worried that his wife would be uncomfortable staying at home, so he would occasionally bring her to the palace with him.

Lin Nian waited for him to finish his official business in the side hall, and then the two of them slowly walked back to the Prince Cheng's residence from the palace.

If Lin Nian got tired from walking, the man would carry him home, then kiss his wife as usual and massage his slightly swollen legs.
