Li Chengze ordered another bowl of hot soup, soaked the meat slices and ate it deliciously. Huilan only drank the soup. She had already eaten, so she just had some with him.

Seeing him shaking his head indifferently, "I don't know, who knows what she was thinking, why she came out in such a cold weather, she doesn't want others to interfere."

Completely unconcerned.

Huilan immediately smiled and said, "I just want to meet you. After all, the last time we met was not pleasant."

"I don't like her being like this. She's so anxious and can't wait for a moment. What do you want me to say when we meet? She's a stranger to begin with. She shouldn't go through all these tricks without even entering the door, so she wants me to be affectionate with her?"

Li Chengze curled his lips and looked very impatient.

Huilan chuckled lightly and didn't mention it again, "I made a new pair of boots for you. It's still early to leave the spring, so you need to keep warm."

"You are still considerate."

"Tomorrow I will take you to pay my respects to the Imperial Grandmother. Didn't you copy the scriptures and show them to her?

It's getting cold, and her rheumatism has hit her legs again, so I'll give you a few patches of medicine. If you make her happy, you won't have to worry about the queen causing trouble for you in the future."

Li Chengze hopes that she can get the favor of the imperial grandmother, so that she can have an extra layer of assurance. After all, he can't watch over her all the time.

"I know, Zelang still loves me the most."

"It's good that you know. Are you having your period?"

Li Chengze has been waiting for her to grow up, and he is anxious about waiting. He doesn't want to pamper others. None of those in the backyard can worry.

Huilan blushed, "I just had my period."

"Huh? You're having your period. That's great, Lan'er, you've grown up."

Li Chengze cheered happily when he heard this.

The sound was so loud that Huilan's face turned red and she quickly covered his mouth.

"My Lord, please don't shout. It's not a happy event, so why are you shouting?"

Huilan didn't quite understand his anxious mood, so she gave him an annoyed look.

Li Chengze angrily bit her white paw, "You heartless little villain, I've been waiting for you for almost a year, do you want me to get angry just to be happy?"

As he said this, he himself turned red with embarrassment. This was not the first time he had touched a woman, but he was particularly looking forward to the day when she would sleep with him. He had been looking forward to it for a long time.

Huilan also blushed, "I can't do it these days. I'm not clean. Ding Xiang has asked someone to declare my trust date. If I didn't tell you how many days it would be, I would tell you the day. Why are you anxious?"

"Can I not be in a hurry? I've been homeless for a whole winter, little rascal. I don't care if you want to compensate me."

Li Chengze held her in his arms and kissed her passionately, finally waiting for this day.

Huilan responded to his enthusiasm shyly, feeling secretly happy in her heart. It wasn't that she was delaying on purpose, but that her body really hadn't grown up yet.

Nourishing the body with spiritual things has many benefits, but it can also delay the time of faith.

At night, Li Chengze was afraid that she would freeze, so he specially asked someone to add charcoal fire to heat the room.

"Is there enough charcoal fire in the house? When using the fire at night, don't put it beside the bed. Put it in a well-ventilated place by the window to avoid poisoning."

"knew."

"Good boy, you must keep warm during menstruation in winter. If you don't take good care of yourself for the first time, it will leave the root of the disease in the future. Be careful. I will be here these days. If the charcoal fire is not enough, go to Chang Ji. Don't wrong yourself.

Being cold."

He thought for a moment that he had to come here in the next few days, but he was afraid that the people below him would not pay attention to it. It was Lan'er's first menstrual period, so he would not be able to take good care of it.

Huilan hugged his waist and lay in her arms, "Ze Lang, are you going to marry the crown princess in the spring? Then can you still love me like this in the future?"

There was a vague feeling of disappointment in my heart, but I didn't quite understand why.

"Yes, no one will forget you, silly girl, do you still doubt my heart? How could I wait until now if I didn't have you in my heart."

He understood his feelings very early, and this little girl lived in his heart, firmly occupying the center position and acting coquettishly.

Even if I don't see anyone, I will always think about her, and I can't forget her when I think about her.

Since you can't forget it, just protect it and take care of it. This royal inner courtyard is cold and ruthless, so you are lucky to have someone close to you by your side.

"Ze Lang, I like you too. Recently, I always think about your wedding. I will be unhappy. Am I a bad learner and jealous?"

She tilted her head and was a little confused. She had never loved a man in her life, and she didn't understand what love was.

She really didn't understand the difference between love and liking, but she knew that she liked Li Chengze, and she was willing to be pampered and coquettish. She would be very happy being with him.

Li Chengze kissed her lips, "My silly girl, this is not jealousy, this is jealousy. I am very happy, you have really grown up."

Huilan gave him a sideways look, "I'm not a child to begin with. I just like to act coquettishly and be pampered. You really think I'm a child. I'm just fooling you, okay?"

"What kind of look is that? You are just a silly girl."

"Huh! If I don't tell you, I'm going to bed."

Huilan curled her lips and put the things she couldn't figure out away for now, if there's anything important.

Li Chengze shook his head and laughed. He also lay down and covered her with a quilt. He hugged her and closed his eyes and fell asleep. The corners of his mouth were raised high, with a happy expression.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand. It's enough for me to know who the person I love is. I will protect you and make you fall in love with me.

The next day, Li Chengze took her to Cining Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager.

"Get up, you must be that Mr. Ding. The scriptures are written very well, and your medicinal patches are well made. My old lady uses them very well."

"Thank you for the compliment, the Queen Mother. You are overly complimentary. I don't know anything about anything else. I just like to tinker with small things and have fun. Being able to help the Queen Mother is my concubine's face.

I also brought some medicated bath ointment today, which can be used when bathing. It can dispel the cold and make you feel more comfortable in winter."

Huilan handed the things to the old nanny for verification before giving them to the Queen Mother.

"You are interested. I heard that your embroidery skills are good. Make a pair of shoes for the old woman."

The Queen Mother seems to have a good face, good etiquette, and good manners. She is a good child and has a pleasant appearance. The Prince brought her because he wanted her to protect her, so please give her some face.

"Yes, I must prepare it and deliver it. The ointment should be stopped every five days, and there should be a rest of nine days in between to avoid frequent medicinal baths, which will make the effect worse."

"Thank you Liangdi for worrying about it."

Grandma Yan smiled and thanked her.

In the Cining Palace, Li Chengze mainly talked and joked with the Empress Dowager, while Huilan stood beside him filling tea and passing water, acting well-behaved and sensible, and the Empress Dowager never stopped smiling.

Li Chengze came to Qinghui Garden to spend the night for several days. After five days, Huilan's menstruation finally cleared up.

Chang Ji deliberately reported to him secretly while others were unprepared.

"Sir, Master Ding's menstruation is over."

"knew."
