Early in the morning, the rewards from the palace were delivered to Prince Yu's Palace one after another.

First, Emperor Wenzong, Empress Dowager Yuande, Empress Jingren, Concubine De and other elders gave Chu Xuanchi gifts.

Then came the birthday gifts for the Crown Prince, the Eighth Prince, Princess Jiashan and other siblings. For a while the Prince's Palace was bustling with activity.

Later, there were gifts from the brothers outside the palace, as well as birthday gifts sent by the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion and other ministers.

"I don't like the hassle, so I purposely didn't hold a birthday party. I just wanted to spend a quiet birthday with Zhao Zhao, but I still can't escape these social interactions."

Chu Xuanchi was reluctant to hold a birthday banquet. Besides thinking it was troublesome, he was also afraid that Mo Zhaohua would work too hard. After all, if he held a birthday banquet, it would definitely be a grand occasion.

"It's alright, my husband, don't worry about it. I will have someone write it down, and when the other party has any happy events, I will return the gifts one by one."

No matter whether it is a happy event or something else, gifts sent by others must be registered before being put into storage so that they can be returned the favor.

Chu Xuanchi felt that she was very tired just thinking about it, "Thank you for your hard work."

"This is my responsibility as the mistress, and with the help of Pearl and Amber, it is not that hard."

As the head maids, Pearl and Amber were responsible for assisting their mistress in handling household affairs, while Huaying was more responsible for external affairs.

Speaking of Zhenzhu, Chu Xuanchi thought of her marriage, "Zhenzhu and Cui Zhuo's wedding, Zhao Zhao wants to hold it before or after the New Year?"

Mo Zhaohua already had an idea, but he hadn't had time to tell him yet, "Let's do it in the second half of the month, just in time for Zhenzhu to spend the New Year at her husband's house."

Chu Xuanchi was worried again, "Zhenzhu is going to her husband's house for the New Year, and this is the first time we're spending the New Year together, so won't Zhaozhao be very busy?"

The new year is busy with affairs, and Zhenzhu is the backbone of the servants. If she were newlywed, he guessed that Mo Zhaohua would definitely give her a long vacation.

"My husband, don't worry. I have long been learning housekeeping from my mother. I have also helped out during the past few years and am quite proficient."

In her previous life, Mo Zhaohua went from Prince Qi's Mansion to the Eastern Palace, and then to the mother of the country. She had been the mistress for more than ten years, so the New Year was really simple for her.

Chu Xuanchi urged, "Okay, don't do everything yourself, let the people below do it, they don't just eat for free."

Seeing how worried he was, Mo Zhaohua couldn't help but laugh, "Why, my husband, are you so worried that I'll get tired?"

"It's not fear, it's heartache." Chu Xuanchi said sincerely, "Zhao Zhao is tired, the pain is in my heart, and I hate that I can't help."

Mo Zhaohua's eyes were full of affection, and her words were as gentle as water, "My husband, there is really no need to worry so much. I am not that fragile."

Chu Xuanchi nodded slightly, "Okay, Zhao Zhao now has internal strength, and his mental method has entered the third level. He is indeed not weak anymore."

Mo Zhaohua changed the subject, "This is the first time I spend my husband's birthday with him. I don't know what birthday gift to give him. Does he want anything?"

"Zhao Zhao is asking now, is it too late?" Chu Xuanchi had no requirements for gifts. He would be happy even if she picked a flower and gave it to him.

Mo Zhaohua wanted to tease him, "It is indeed too late. I will ask again next year. I will not give you a birthday gift this year."

"Want to coax me?" Chu Xuanchi raised his sword-like eyebrows, "I don't believe it. How could Zhao Zhao be unprepared? I'm afraid he wants to give me a surprise."

"Oh... I have to go to the front yard to get busy. Let me take care of the housework first." Mo Zhaohua escaped with a sweet smile.

Chu Xuanchi looked at her hurriedly leaving back and smiled happily, "Hehe... Zhao Zhao is becoming more and more naughty now."

***

Chu Xuanchi's birthday was extremely simple.

He just called Mu Xueyan and Xiao Yan and had dinner with the couple in the evening.

In addition, several guards of Wuying, as well as Pearl and Amber, also set up a table nearby.

In the name of Chu Xuanchi, Mo Zhaohua asked the whole family to eat noodles in the evening, not only with an egg for each person, but also shredded pork.

The servants were very grateful. When other masters had birthdays, the servants were so busy that they had no time to rest, and all they ate were the leftovers.

When their master has a birthday, they not only don't have to prepare a banquet, but they can also eat meat specially prepared by the kitchen.

After the acupuncture at night, Mo Zhaohua and Chu Xuanchi washed and changed their clothes.

Chu Xuanchi thanked her sincerely, "Thank you, Zhaozhao, for winning the hearts of the servants in the mansion with just a bowl of noodles."

Mo Zhaohua twisted the handkerchief and gave it to him. "I am not just doing this for you, my husband. I am doing this for us, unless you want to marry someone else."

"It's my fault. Husband and wife are supposed to be one, but I separated you and me. It's so strange. Besides, I will never marry another man in my lifetime."

Chu Xuanchi admitted his mistake quickly and sincerely, so Mo Zhaohua couldn't bear to tease him anymore. "It's good that my husband knows he's wrong."

After they washed up and changed into warm pajamas, Chu Xuanchi asked, "It's late at night and the birthday is almost over. Where is Zhao Zhao's gift?"

Mo Zhaohua's eyes were as charming as silk, "Is there any better gift than this concubine?"

Chu Xuanchi looked at her charming look and swallowed subconsciously, "Zhao Zhao... want to give yourself to me?"

Mo Zhaohua walked to the table and lifted the red cloth covering the table. There were two wine glasses underneath and he could faintly smell the wine.

She picked up the two cups of wine, returned to Chu Xuanchi, and handed him one cup, "My husband, drink this cup of wedding wine with me first."

On the wedding day, she drank the "wedding wine" with him using water instead of wine, saying that the day of actually drinking the wedding wine would be the day of the wedding night.

Chu Xuanchi took the wine glass with a smile, "Zhao Zhao's birthday gift is to have a real wedding night today?"

Mo Zhaohua bent down and held his hand and cupped his wine, "My husband, you should also consummate the marriage with me and let me become a real woman."

Chu Xuanchi called her softly with a guilty look in his eyes, "Zhao Zhao..."

Mo Zhaohua's heart sank slightly, and she was a little worried, "Will my husband still refuse?"

"No, I should have consummated my marriage with Zhao Zhao long ago. As a man, how could I be more timid than Zhao Zhao? I am so hesitant."

Chu Xuanchi said as he drank the wine in the glass. The wine had a spicy taste when it went down his throat, which showed that it was a real strong liquor.

Mo Zhaohua also drank the wine in the glass. She couldn't drink much and didn't like alcohol, but she would definitely drink this glass of wine.

She took the wine glass from Chu Xuanchi's hand and put them back on the table, then pushed the wheelchair to the bed and watched him get on the bed.

Chu Xuanchi looked at Mo Zhaohua standing beside the bed with a burning gaze, "My beloved, it's getting late. We should go to bed."

Mo Zhaohua took off his shoes and got on the bed, hiding under the soft and warm quilt. Then Zhenzhu came in, lowered the curtains and turned off the lights.

She took off her pajamas in the dark and put them aside. Then she turned over and pressed Chu Xuanchi under her body, "I will let my husband suffer this time."

Chu Xuanchi hugged her and said, "Don't feel wronged. I, Chu Xuanchi, pray to God that we can grow old together and have many children and grandchildren."

Mo Zhaohua followed suit and prayed, "I, Mo Zhaohua, pray to God, may our marriage last forever and our children and grandchildren live in peace and happiness."
