Perhaps it was because she had taken too much medicine, Murong Jiu felt no swelling at her chest. By the time she finally ceased taking the medication, half a month had passed, and she found herself unable to produce milk.
As the New Year approached, the Prince Mansion was festively decorated with lanterns and peach talismans, and couplets were written. Jun Yuyan was uncharacteristically busy, personally crafting many red lanterns. He placed candles inside them, which, when lit at night, cast the shadows of various animals.
Murong Jiu saw a set hanging under the eaves, depicting the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, none missing.
Jun Yuyan said to her, "This is our first New Year together, and our first as a family of four. I hope to create some unique memories for you. Although Xiao Jin and Xiaoyu are still young, we can't just brush this off. When they grow up, they might ask what their father had prepared for New Year's in past years."
