After saying that, she turned around and left so quickly that Gardenia could only see her back.
She stood there and blinked, still holding a bite of candied fruit in her hand, a little confused.
After pondering for a while, I thought that my younger brother might be busy with official duties, so I had to regretfully swallow this question and walk to the table holding the paper bag.
After a while, Suzuran came back, holding a set of clothes in her hand. Seeing her sitting there, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"My slave just noticed that there was a thread hanging on this dress, so I went to find my aunt, which wasted some time. Fortunately, you didn't fall asleep in the bath."
Gardenia poured herself a cup of tea, felt a little guilty after hearing this and touched the tip of her nose, but said nothing.
Seeing her like this, Linglan didn't understand anything, so she glanced helplessly at her princess, then her eyes fell on the candied fruit in her hand, and she narrowed her eyes.
"Has Miss Nanqing been here just now?"
The little girl shook her head without warning. "No, it was sent by General Xiao Huo."
Suzuran, who was hanging up her dress, paused, her expression a little subtle.
"You looked like this when the general came over?"
Gardenia looked down at herself and responded hesitantly.
She didn't show anything. It didn't matter. If she was meeting other people, she would definitely wear another coat, but why is her little brother so particular about it?
And it's not like she has never seen her little brother without clothes.
No, she wouldn't let anyone into her room if it was someone else.
Thinking of this, Gardenia raised her chin proudly. It's not like she didn't know these things.
Suzuran beside her felt that her smile was not a smile.
After taking a few deep breaths, she suppressed the hatred in her heart and only advised him politely.
"Princess, this is outside the palace, and there are many people. If a man and a woman are found alone in the same room, it will not be good for you and the general's reputation. If you need it next time, just ask your servant to come over."
The little girl thought for a while and nodded obediently.
Well, for the sake of her younger brother's reputation, it's okay for her to pay attention.
After the repairs were completed, everyone went down to the first floor to have dinner.
Apart from the inconvenient status of His Majesty and the people in the harem, even the princesses and princes all ate here together, separated into different areas.
When Zhi Nai came down, the people below were almost seated. When she saw Shen Nanqing sitting there, she walked over there without much thought.
At this time, only she and Shen Yang were sitting at this table.
Shen Nanqing was not in the capital before and was not familiar with the ladies from other families. Although Shen Yang had a few close friends, she had just recovered from a serious illness and everyone did not want to be infected, so they naturally stayed as far away as possible.
Seeing the little girl coming, Shen Nanqing first curled his lips helplessly, and then arranged a position for her.
"Why did you come down just now, but you took a nap?"
While Gardenia answered her questions, she responded to Shen Yang's salute. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell which side she was closer to.
Feeling the gazes of Ruoyouruowu around him, Shen Yang lowered his eyes in humiliation and fiddled with the handkerchief with his fingers.
Seeing her princess sitting down, Linglan naturally served her dinner without saying a word, nor did she say anything to ask the little girl to go to the royal family.
Sitting there, she had to worry about whether she could finish the meal smoothly. As expected, it was more reassuring to sit next to Miss Nan Qing.
As for Shen Yang, Linglan didn't pay attention at all.
If a young lady from any family was jealous or dissatisfied, she would take it seriously, but with the little princess's reputation, she couldn't help but worry about it.
Gardenia took the chopsticks handed over by Suzuran, and while talking to Shen Nanqing, she put the food into her mouth, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
But within a few bites, another person sat down next to me.
Suzuran bowed, and while saluting, she did not forget to secretly remind her princess.
