A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace-Chapter 936: New Year’s Celebration (Part 1)
The wedding night passed.
The next day, the newlyweds didn’t get up until almost noon.
Yang Chenyi was indifferent.
Xia Caiying was extremely anxious.
Her clothes were changed, her makeup carefully painted.
Even the bridal veil on the bed was taken away by Sister.
But she couldn’t stand up, her legs soft like noodles, devoid of strength.
What to do? She couldn’t be carried out, could she?
Wouldn’t that make her a laughing stock?!
But not going to serve tea to her mother-in-law on the second day of marriage.
Would also make her a subject of mockery.
Neither option seemed good, Xia Caiying was about to cry from anxiety.
On the bed, Yang Chenyi lazily smiled and said.
"You don’t need to hurry, our family doesn’t have those pointless rules."
"If you can’t go, just rest well! Mother won’t blame you!"
Xia Caiying, however, didn’t agree, her face flushed with embarrassment as she retorted.
"Getting up early to serve tea to my mother-in-law is basic etiquette, not a pointless rule!"
"Besides, whether mother blames us or not is her prerogative, we can’t be thoughtless!"
"Husband, please get up!"
She gently pushed him, her fair wrist equally weak and powerless.
Seeing this made Yang Chenyi’s Adam’s apple bob, feeling another bout of thirst.
He quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look anymore.
Seeing her truly anxious, he stopped teasing her.
He immediately got up and called the maid in to assist with dressing and washing.
He acted quickly, getting ready in just a moment.
Then stood before her.
Smiling as he observed her annoyed expression.
"Let’s go!"
Xia Caiying was a bit puzzled.
"Where to?"
Yang Chenyi didn’t speak, he directly bent down and lifted her with his strong arms.
"Where do you think?!"
"Didn’t you want to go pay respects and serve tea to mother?!"
In the moment he spoke.
He had already carried her out the door.
Xia Caiying was both helpless and shy, struggling with her hands and feet.
"Husband, you... this won’t do! Put me down quickly, there are servants everywhere outside..."
Yang Chenyi raised his stern brows.
"Hmm? Madam?"
"Are you saying I can’t do it?"
Xia Caiying’s face flushed red again.
"No... no!"
"Then can I do it?" He said with a playful smirk.
Xia Caiying quickly nodded.
"You can, you can, you can! Please put me down!"
Yang Chenyi again smiled mischievously.
"Madam, you said I can do it, so let’s hurry up!"
With that, he strode quickly towards Madam Yang’s courtyard.
Xia Caiying was utterly desperate, not forgetting to struggle.
Yang Chenyi, however, smiled at the corners of his mouth, leaned down to her ear, and whispered softly.
"Madam, it’s better to conserve some energy, otherwise serving tea to mother later..."
"If you can’t stand steadily, that wouldn’t be good!"
Xia Caiying’s cheeks turned instantly red upon hearing this, but she dared not move recklessly anymore.
In fact.
She barely had any strength left.
The so-called struggle was nothing more than a little bunny clawing lightly in the arms of the Big Grey Wolf.
Yang Chenyi’s tall figure carried her like a cat.
Where was there room to escape?!
And so...
The Eldest Young Master carried the Eldest Young Madam.
Under the envious, jealous, and resentful gazes of the maids along the way, they went to Madam Yang’s courtyard.
"Madam, Madam, the Eldest Young Master and Eldest Young Madam are here to pay respects!"
The maid rushed in to report.
Madam Yang thought they wouldn’t come and was all set to have lunch.
Now hearing that her son and daughter-in-law had come, she was instantly delighted.
"Quickly, let them in!"
As the words fell.
She saw her son cautiously supporting her daughter-in-law, as the couple walked in slowly.
Xia Caiying was just put down.
At this moment, she was exerting all her strength to make her walking posture appear less odd.
Unfortunately...
"Paying respects to mother!"
The couple kneeled on the prepared mats.
Yang Chenyi moved swiftly.
While Xia Caiying... almost collapsed with her leg giving out.
Madam Yang was startled.
She paused and secretly glared at her son, then quickly ordered the maid beside her.
"Please rise, both of you!"
Yang Chenyi on the side chuckled.
"Mother! Caiying hasn’t served you tea yet!"
Xia Caiying also forced a smile.
"Yes, mother! Haven’t served the tea yet!"
Madam Yang couldn’t say much.
Just then, the maid brought over tea.
Xia Caiying received the tea and respectfully offered it to Madam Yang with a smile.
"Mother, please have tea!"
"Ah! Good!"
Madam Yang smiled in response, took the tea, sipped twice before setting it down.
She quickly ordered to have Xia Caiying assisted to sit on a chair, finally feeling slightly relieved.
Xia Caiying clearly did not look good.
Sitting for just a moment.
Madam Yang didn’t dare invite them for a meal, excusing their departure by saying her body was uncomfortable, telling them to go rest.
Once they left.
Madam Yang was both amused and annoyed, laughing at the Sister beside her.
"Look at my son!"
"I used to arrange so many chamber maids for him, yet he didn’t want a single one, I even thought my son had some problem!"
That Sister covered her mouth and laughed.
"Madam, are you relieved now?"
Madam Yang nodded.
"Relieved?"
"When will I ever be relieved? Look at today, Caiying girl’s face!"
"That boy Yiyi really went too far, I must give him a good talking to later!"
"A fine girl like her can’t take such a strain!"
That Sister laughed again.
"They say mother and son are connected at heart, surely the young master knows you’re eager for grandchildren, hence this..."
"Enough, enough!"
"You! So improper!"
Madam Yang teased her playfully and dismissed the incident.
...
In the palace.
Having witnessed Xia Caiying getting married, Xia Ruqing felt at ease.
The end of the year was approaching.
She finally had some free time, wanting to celebrate the New Year well.
So.
After the Small New Year on the twenty-third.
She personally took the palace attendants to prepare.
Cut window flowers, replace peach talismans, and hang lanterns.
On the twenty-fourth, it snowed.
She immediately called people to make a warm nest for Da Bai and Xiao Bai’s family in the vacant house in the backyard.
Inside was padded with thick cotton, beside the window, making it particularly warm when the sun shines.
By the 27th of the month, the weather cleared.
Xia Ruqing took two little buns.
Hunched next to the cat nest in the backyard.
Watching as Little White brought two kittens to settle into the snug nest.
Feeling very satisfied.
"Mom, let’s give names to these two kittens!"
Henger said in a tender voice.
Xia Ruqing responded with a smile, "Sure!"
Beside her, Yeye seemed uninterested, suddenly commenting.
"What names, they’re just kittens?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Henger quickly argued.
"What’s wrong with kittens? They’re Little White’s favorites!"
"Right, mom?!"
Xia Ruqing was long used to the brothers’ banter.
She smiled immediately.
"Yes, yes, kittens are Little White’s favorites!"
"They deserve names!"
Henger finally nodded in satisfaction.
Yeye gave Henger a ’you’re so childish’ look but didn’t say more.
Henger stared at the kittens for a while, then excitedly said.
"Mom, look, they both have patterns, why don’t we call them Da Hua and Xiao Hua?"
