Warm medicine emits fragrance

For Fan Liuer, life after marrying Li Chenbi was no different from before, except that Li Chenbi became increasingly clingy.

He's now just a carefree prince consort, only occasionally giving lessons to Yanqiu and not caring about anything else.

He handed over all the businesses of the Li family to Fan Liuer to manage, claiming that they were all Fan Liuer's own assets.

However, he didn't completely ignore it. When Fan Liuer encountered something she couldn't handle, he would give her some pointers.

His daily life consisted of sticking to Fan Liuer. When Fan Liuer was at home looking at account books, he would lie on Fan Liuer's lap and read storybooks.

When Fan Liuer went out to handle business, he followed closely behind her.

Everyone says that Fan Liuer has been spoiled by Li Chenbi, but Fan Liuer herself is quite satisfied with this situation.

Spoiled? You're kidding. That's a fortune. How could she feel at ease not keeping it in her own hands?

Since Li Chenbi handed all these responsibilities over to Fan Liuer, she has become much more diligent and no longer stays cooped up in the house like before.

Sure enough, money was the only thing that motivated her to go out.

Not long after their marriage, Siqing and Feng Xu returned to Xingzhou. Feng Xu is now the head steward of the Li family, and he manages all of the Li family's businesses and properties in Xingzhou.

The old lady stayed in Kyoto with Li Yuhe. As Li Yuhe grew older, the old lady wanted to arrange a marriage for her.

Observing Fan Liuer's daily life, Li Yuhe secretly made a decision: she would not marry anyone else; she would find a son-in-law to live with her.

These days, Li Yuhe has been involved in the family business and is no longer the timid and weak little girl she used to be.

The old lady disagreed with her idea, believing that good men were unwilling to come to her home, and that she wouldn't be able to find a good family to marry into through a traditional marriage proposal.

Li Chenbi and Fan Liuer were very supportive. Li Chenbi said that he and Fan Liuer would never have children in their lives, so the task of continuing the Li family line would be left to Li Yuhe.

Three months after their marriage, Fan Liuer opened an An Yi Tang shop in Kyoto.

The war caused many children to be displaced, and many orphans wandered the outskirts of Kyoto, where people starved to death every day.

The opening of An-Yi-Dou provided these orphans with a place to live and make a living, and it was cheered by all the people of Kyoto on the day of its opening.

Upon learning of this, Yan Qi not only commended Fan Liuer but also symbolically allocated funds for her.

With the emperor's support, An Yi Tang later spread throughout the country, cultivating many talented individuals.

Of course, this is something.

A year after Li Chenbi and Fan Liuer got married, Chuixue asked Fan Liuer for permission to resign. She had been pursuing Qi Weiming without success and wanted to leave the capital.

Fan Liuer then sent Chuixue to other prefectures to manage the properties of Anyitang and the Li family, with Feng Xu assisting her. She also sent Li Chenbi's confidant to accompany the two of them.

Fubuki likes this mission; it pays her and allows her to travel all over the country.

Two years after Li Chenbi and Fan Liuer's marriage, Qi Weiming married the youngest daughter of the Vice Minister of Rites. The two fell in love at first sight during an autumn hunt and were eventually granted marriage by Yan Qi.

In the same year, Siqing became pregnant and gave birth to a son, whom she named Feng Shoucheng.

Three years after Li Chenbi and Fan Liuer got married, Yan Qi fell ill due to his busy schedule in court. Yan Qiu took over the administration of the court, and Li Chenbi was forced to end his leisurely life as a prince consort. He was often summoned to the palace by Yan Qiu to help him devise strategies.

In the same year, Qi Weiming was blessed with a son, whom he named Qi Sili.

Four years after Li Chenbi and Fan Liuer got married, that year was an exceptionally cold winter, the cold was so severe that Fan Liuer suffered terribly, and the cost of heating in the mansion was several times higher than in previous years.

Yan Qi ultimately did not survive the harsh winter and passed away before the New Year.

After the New Year, Yanqiu ascended the throne and observed three years of mourning. During this year, Li Chenshu often entered the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager.

Six years after Li Chenbi and Fan Liuer's marriage, Li Yuhe, at the age of twenty-two, finally found a husband to marry into her family. The man was an illegitimate son from a wealthy family in the capital. He was not particularly talented and was not valued or loved at home.

The two met at An-Yi-Tang. He loved carving and taught the children at An-Yi-Tang for free.

Li Yuhe saw him a few times when she went to Anyitang with Fan Liuer.

After a few times, Li Yuhe privately told Fan Liuer that this young man was handsome and gentle, and that she was interested in him.

After observing him secretly for a few times and discovering that this young master also had some feelings for Li Yuhe, Fan Liuer went to tell Li Chenbi about it.

Although the other party was a son of a concubine, wealthy families would consider it a disgrace to have their son visit them, and would certainly not allow this young master to come.

No one knows what method Li Chenbi used, but in the end the other party happily agreed and even gave a generous dowry.

Of course, Li Yuhe also gave a considerable dowry.

Seven years after Li Chenbi and Fan Liuer's marriage, Li Yuhe arranged for her husband to come to her home. In the same year, after Yanqiu's mourning period ended, she married Li Chenshu.

That year, Li Qiuping also got married. Now, Li Qiuping was no longer Li Chenbi's personal bodyguard or the manager of the North Garden of the Li Mansion, but a first-class imperial bodyguard, a third-rank official.

After Yanqiu ascended the throne, he spent three days pestering Li Chenbi and finally managed to get Li Qiuping to go.

Li Qiuping didn't want to go. He had been by Li Chenbi's side since he was a child. He was Li Chenbi's man in life and in death. He didn't want to change masters.

Li Chenbi did not interfere with Li Qiuping's choice; he left the choice entirely to Li Qiuping himself.

Later, Fan Liuer persuaded him, saying that his life belonged to him and that he should pursue his own life, and that Li Chenbi should not be his whole life.

Li Qiuping already had someone he liked in his heart, and persuaded by these words, he entered the palace to become a royal bodyguard.

But whenever he had free time, he would rush to the princess's residence, saying that this was his true home.

Fan Liuer treated him like a younger brother and specially opened a courtyard for him to live in. It wasn't until Li Qiuping got married and married the girl he loved that Li Chenbi bought him a mansion, and he moved in with his beloved girl.

For the past seven years, Li Chenbi has been searching for a way to cure Fan Liuer's cold syndrome. Under his care and with the couple's frequent sexual activity, Fan Liuer's cold syndrome has improved a lot, and she is no longer so afraid of the cold in winter.

Eight years after Li Chenbi and Fan Liuer got married, Li Chenshu became pregnant, but miscarried in less than three months. Everyone in the court was urging Yanqiu to take a concubine so that he could have more children.

Yanqiu argued with these officials every day under pressure, until he was exhausted.

Li Chenshu secretly made a mental note of these people and took revenge on them one by one afterward.

In the same year, Li Yuhe became pregnant at the beginning of the year and gave birth to a daughter at the end of the year, who became the next heir of the Li family and was named Li Shanjun.

Li Chenbi said that it was rare for a new member to be born into the family, and that a humble name would make her easier to raise. He insisted on calling her "Little Dog," which earned him a scolding from Fan Liuer, thus saving Li Shanjun's reputation for the future.

Nine years after Li Chenbi and Fan Liuer got married, Li Chenshu became pregnant again, and a month later, Fan Liuer also found out she was pregnant.

The couple, who had long accepted that they would never have children, were both stunned when they heard the news.

"Li Chenbi, did I hear that right?" Fan Liuer looked at Li Chenbi, her mind still in a daze.

Li Chenbi was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked the doctor, "She is already thirty years old and in poor health. Can she give birth? Will it be bad for her health? If her body is not suitable for childbirth, this child cannot be kept."
