Chapter 183 Tongxin Wine
Honghui was the first to notice Yihuan's abnormality. His eyes wandered between his mother and his mother, and he tactfully took his brother and sister away.
Seeing that the children had finished eating, Yihuan poured a glass of sake for Yinzhen: "Master, try this. This is a new recipe that our shop has come up with. The taste is very special, bitter at first and sweet later, just like tasting tea."
Yinzhen took a sip and said, "It's OK."
Seeing that Yinzhen stood still like a mountain and nothing could be seen from his expression, Yihuan felt a little nervous. She didn't know how to start the conversation about the Uya family. Would it be too abrupt to go straight to the point?
Yinzhen saw Yihuan's conflicted expression and sighed, "Does this wine have a name?"
"Not yet, this is the first batch of finished products, I'm still thinking about it."
Yinzhen pondered for a while and said, "Why not call it Tongxin?"
"Huh?" Yihuan was puzzled.
"It tastes slightly bitter at first, then sweet, and finally leaves a lingering fragrance in the mouth." Yinzhen poured himself another drink, "Don't you think Fu Jin is very similar to getting along with a husband and wife? They all start by getting used to each other, then gradually get along, and finally grow old together."
"I want to be with you for the rest of our lives, just like this wine."
Yihuan listened to Yinzhen's sudden love words, and her cheeks gradually became red, looking like the sunset glow in the sky. She thought for a moment and said directly: "I don't want to take a concubine for you. I want to choose a good husband for Uya Gege."
"I know." Yinzhen held back her laughter. This was what made her so uneasy.
"I thought you already understood that I would not and could not allow you to take a concubine. If the Emperor and the Empress want to give you one or if you want it yourself, I cannot stop them. But I will never take the initiative to send other women to you." This was the first time that Yihuan spoke her mind so bluntly. In this era, those who dared to openly say that they would not allow their husbands to take concubines would be criticized. Didn't you see that the Eighth Lady has always been an outlier among the princes' wives?
"Yihuan, you can try to say no to me." Yinzhen was very confused. Before Honghui was born, Fu Jin always contradicted him. But after giving birth to Honghui, she no longer did that. She became docile and difficult to see clearly.
"Yinzhen, I will never say no to you." Yihuan said with a double meaning as she drank the wine that Yinzhen poured for her.
Yinzhen smiled and said, "Another drink?"
"it is good."
"Cha Yan Yue Se" launched a new product called "Tong Xin". It held a promotion in the first seven days. Each pot of wine was equipped with a bookmark with red plum dots on it and the words "May lovers be together forever" written in Slender Gold font. It was sold out as soon as it was put on the shelves and became a good story.
From that day on, Yihuan felt that she and Yinzhen had a tacit understanding and became much closer. This closeness was not just a change in the distance between them when they cuddled together at night, but the fact that their two beating hearts were getting closer and closer.
Just like today, when Yihuan woke up, Yinzhen had already gone to court. Yuxue saw Yihuan was awake and brought breakfast over: "Princess, the prince said that the breakfast here tastes novel, so he bought it specially for you to try. Come and have a look, this crystal cake is really interesting, you can even see the filling inside."
Yihuan stretched and pulled her clothes together, trying to cover up the traces of yesterday. She didn't know what was wrong with her recently. It is said that women are like wolves in their thirties and tigers in their forties, but Yinzhen's recent behavior is more like that of a young boy.
Could he be taking drugs secretly? Yihuan thought wildly.
Especially since he was doing that kind of thing yesterday and still had the time to chat.
"My dear, do you have any nickname?"
"No...no." Yihuan said tremblingly after gasping for a long time.
"Then I'll give you one." Yinzhen said as he moved.
"Last night it was rainy and windy, and I couldn't get rid of the remaining wine after a deep sleep. I tried to ask the people behind the curtain, but the crabapples were still the same. Do you know, do you know? They should be green, fat, red and thin."
"This poem is just right for the current situation. Why don't you call yourself Haitang? I will make sure that the tangtang blooms every day and is not broken by wind and rain." Yinzhen whispered in Yihuan's ear. Then he exerted force on his waist and called out "Tangtang". Yihuan felt like a fish on a chopping board, being turned over and over, and it took a whole night before she could breathe fresh air.
Seeing that her master was leaning against the bed without moving, Yuxue suddenly brought a vase over and said, "Oh, Princess, my master sent this vase this morning. There are still crabapple flowers blooming in this season. It's really magical."
"Take it out!" Yihuan was tortured so badly that her teeth itched in anger.
Seeing that her master was angry, Yuxue was about to throw the vase away. She had already walked to the door when she heard Yihuan's voice again.
"Put it by the window and take good care of it so it doesn't die."
"Yes."

Little Wolf started his martial arts career before he was six years old. Fortunately, he liked martial arts very much and was very active in going to Ulanala Mansion every afternoon.
Fei Yanggu has recently been teaching him the horse stance, which is the most basic part of the basic skills. He originally thought that the little wolf who was brought up in pampering would cry and make a fuss, so he had prepared several plans to coax him.
Unexpectedly, the child persisted without crying or making a fuss, and even though his legs were shaking, he did not complain or feel tired.
Good materials and beautiful jade are rare, but it is even rarer to be willing to work hard and not waste talent. Fei Yanggu loved his grandson even more.
After Little Wolf finished his horse stance practice that day, Fei Yanggu happened to have a visitor, so he let him rest for a while and wander around at his own will.
In addition to practicing martial arts and swordplay, the little wolf's favorite things are swings and slides. He was a little distressed when he didn't find any familiar facilities while wandering around the rockery.
Just then, a woman's mumbling voice was heard from the other side of the rockery.
"Azhu, it's been three months since you were assigned to take care of the young master. I heard that your salary increased this month. Could it be..." The woman said it ambiguously with a smile, and Little Wolf was a little confused about what she meant.
"The eldest young master is a very nice person. He is deeply in love with the eldest princess of Prince Yong's Mansion. I just admire him. Fortunately, he is a very gentle person." Ah Zhu's voice was very cheerful, and you could tell that she was very happy.
"Tell me how you did it. The concubine sent so many maids there before, but only you succeeded. The young master must like you very much."
Naturally, following Xiaolang were the servants of the Ulanala family. He felt something was wrong when he heard this and was about to speak out to remind them, but Xiaolang signaled to Guo Wei not to speak.
So Guo Wei covered the servant's mouth, and everyone in the group listened quietly.
"It's so embarrassing, stop talking about it. The eldest master said that I look a lot like the eldest princess in Prince Yong's mansion. Maybe it's because of this that when the future wife comes to the mansion, I will also serve her well." Ah Zhu has the most traditional ideas.
"You'd better be careful. How can a princess from the palace be good-tempered? You should take advantage of the fact that the young master is still new to you and leave a child as soon as possible. As long as you have a child, even the princess can't easily beat you to death."
"This...can't be." Azhu hesitated.
"Think about it carefully. Fu Jin is still waiting for me to comb her hair. She is about to wake up from her nap. I'm leaving first."
Guo Wei let go of his hand only after all the sound from the rockery had completely died down. The servant of the Ulanara family turned terribly pale.
Little Wolf stood there for a long time, hugging his shoulders: "Guo Wei, are they talking about the big sister?"
Guo Wei cursed the two servants in his heart. How dare they let the Fourth Prince hear such a dirty thing? "My Lord, it has nothing to do with the eldest princess. The Lord may be waiting for you. Let's go back to the martial arts arena."
"Okay." The little wolf suppressed his doubts in his heart and prepared to go back and tell his eldest brother.
Big brother is there for everything.
