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

Yinzhu brought over a basin of hot water. "Your Highness, please move aside. I need to bathe the Prince."

"Shall I do it?" Yin Cheng was just about to roll up his sleeves when Yin Zhu decisively refused him.

"You're being too rough; you'll hurt the prince again," Yinzhu said. "Your Highness, there's ginseng porridge in the kitchen. If you're really free, please get a bowl; the prince wants to eat it later."

Yin Cheng left the delivery room, looking back every few steps.

In order to prevent his wife from being infected by bacteria during childbirth, Yin Cheng went to great lengths to create a relatively sterile room.

Since there was no disinfectant alcohol in this era, Yin Cheng distilled the alcohol himself multiple times to increase its purity.

The delivery room is disinfected daily, and bedding and supplies are also sterilized at high temperatures.

Lin Nian didn't know what a bacterial infection was, but she unconditionally trusted her husband.

He stayed in the delivery room for several days, and was only carried back to the bedroom by the man when he was able to get out of bed and walk around.

When Yin Cheng said he would take care of the baby with Lin Nian, he was absolutely telling the truth.

I would wake up in the middle of the night to change my son's diapers and take him to his foster father to feed him; I did all of that myself.

Erzai's voice was much louder than Pearl's kitten-like voice. He would howl every now and then to assert his presence. Sometimes even Lin Nian couldn't help but want to break down, but the man was emotionally stable and took good care of Erzai.

At first, Lin Nian felt sweet inside, thinking that she had married a man who was different from all the other men in the world.

He became a little uncomfortable after that.

Because she was in postpartum confinement, she couldn't be exposed to cold, so she couldn't take a bath, and naturally her body smelled bad.

When he was making pearls before, he was alone in the North and didn't pay much attention to such things.

But now he sleeps in the same bed with a man every night.

Lin Nian felt extremely awkward. He remembered how men used to call him "Fragrant Boy," and now he felt sour and smelly all over.

One night, Lin Nian finally couldn't help but speak up, "Ah Cheng, it doesn't really have to be a month, right? A few days left shouldn't matter, right?"

Just as Yin Cheng finished telling Pearl a bedtime story, Yin Zhu finished washing Erzai, wrapped him in a new cotton cloth, and carried him to the bed.

"What?"

Lin Nian said, "I want to take a shower."

Yin Cheng said, "There'll be another week, then I can take a bath soon."

Lin Nian pouted, "I won't catch a cold. There's a geothermal spring at home, and it's April now, the weather is warming up!"

His wife hadn't shown such a coquettish expression in a long time, and Yin Cheng's heart wavered slightly before he hardened his heart and refused, "I'll go get some water to wipe you down."

"I've wiped myself down, now I want to take a shower!" Lin Nian said. "I feel like I smell awful!"

"No," Yin Cheng said. "My darling smells wonderful."

Lin Nian immediately revealed a strange expression, "Ah Cheng, your ability to lie through your teeth is getting better and better."

"It's the last few days, honey, hang in there," Yin Cheng said. "I heard that if you get sick during your postpartum period, there will be long-term consequences."

Lin Nian looked at the man with extremely aggrieved eyes, her watery eyes saying, "Then go sleep in the study."

Yin Cheng: "?"

Yin Cheng quickly took off his outer robe and crawled into bed. "I'm asleep, I can't hear you."

Lin Nian pushed him, "You should leave now."

"What if you want to drink water at night?" Yin Cheng argued, trying to preserve the dignity of the head of the household residing in the master bedroom.

Lin Nian said, "There are silver beads and a little wine."

"They're not as considerate as I am," Yin Cheng said. "What if you have chest pains? You can't expect them to help you, can you?"

Lin Nian blushed, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Yin Cheng said, "Shh, the two kids are asleep. You'll wake them up if you do."

Speaking of the two children, that means they've hit Lin Nian's weak spot.

He silently wrapped himself in the blankets and pressed himself against the innermost part of the bed, afraid that he would offend the man with his odor.

On the day Lin Nian finished her postpartum confinement, he scrubbed himself in the bath room for two hours, wishing he could use up all the scented soap in the mansion.

Yin Cheng held his second son, who was wearing a red jacket, at the door to greet the guests.

Today marks the one-month anniversary of their second child's birth, and there are far more guests than when they got married a few years ago.

At that time, no one knew the true nature of the relationship between Prince Cheng and the Emperor, and everyone was afraid of choosing the wrong side.

After all that has happened, if the civil and military officials still don't understand, then they're just plain stupid.

Therefore, when the second son of the Prince of Cheng was one month old, those who received invitations were overjoyed, and those who did not receive invitations also sent congratulatory gifts.

Xiao Jiu'er stood at the door collecting gifts, her smile never fading.

Money, so much money! Money is coming from all directions!

Not only was the second son dressed festively, but Pearl was dressed festively as well.

Pearl has already started wearing spring and summer dresses, and the tiny pearl is running around among the guests.

Except for the fourth and fifth sons from the Southwest, all the other members of the Lin family came.

Although Lin Zhishan couldn't be there in person because he was studying, he sent his newborn cousin a wood carving he had made himself as a token of his affection as an older brother.

Lin Siheng didn't come either. He was chosen by his elusive master, Lin Yunyuan, and taken to the top of Guishan Mountain to learn martial arts.

Shen Qingheng originally didn't want her son to suffer from the hardships of studying so soon, but she couldn't resist Lin Siheng's willingness to go.

When asked why, he said it was shameful to get into a street fight and lose. He planned to return after completing his studies and become the number one playboy in the entire capital.

Shen Qingheng was speechless, but with the baby about to be born, she would definitely have no time to take care of this little rascal, and he would probably run out and cause trouble again.

But at the same time, he was also worried that Lin Siheng might be jealous of his younger brother, or that he might feel that his fathers didn't like him anymore, which was why they sent him away.

As it turned out, Lin Siheng was very easygoing and ran away very fast. Before leaving, he took away his birthday gift—a weapon box that his grandfather, Ye Qingyu, had funded to be made for him.

He was gone for three months, but every month he would write back to his uncle in his crooked handwriting to let him know he was safe.

Pearl didn't see Siheng, and her little mouth was pouting.

Nobody plays with him anymore!

He saw his eldest uncle's big belly and immediately became happy. Hehehe, soon he will be the big brother of two little babies!

After the banquet, the whole family gathered around to look at the second child.

Lin Yunyuan originally didn't want to join in the fun, but he couldn't resist Shen Qingheng's enthusiasm. He was also worried about his husband, so he protected him at all times, afraid that he would bump into something.

Xia Ying pushed Lin Er aside, gently touched the baby's little hand, and asked, "Nian-ge'er, have you named the baby yet?"

The couple, who had been calling their son "Second Son" lately, silently shook their heads.

Because they tacitly agreed to wait until the emperor returned from Whitewater City before giving the second son a formal name...

"You must have a nickname, right?"

Yin Cheng said, "A gold ingot."

It's obvious! Pearl and Yuanbao—these two names clearly indicate a loving family. What else would they call them but Yuanbao? It makes perfect sense, absolutely perfect.
