I will only protect you for the rest of my life35

The little girl raised her head in confusion.

"Huh? Why are there only two of us left?"

"...It's okay. Do you want some shrimp? I'll peel it for you."

Gardenia blinked her eyes and nodded.

"eat!"

the other side.

Because it was a front-end and back-foot effort, and the women's rooms were on the same floor, Princess Anping inevitably bumped into Shen Yang.

Seeing her reluctance to salute him, Princess Anping sneered.

"Is this how the Prime Minister's Mansion teaches rules? Do you still need me to have someone tell you how to salute?"

Shen Yang's face turned pale, and his figure was so thin that he seemed about to fall down in the next second.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the princesses and princes walking here, and Princess Anping's eyes flashed with a trace of ridicule.

"Since you like to stay, then just stand here and leave when you learn the rules."

After saying that, he turned around and ordered his maid.

"Yuqin, you keep an eye on her here."

"Yes, Princess."

Princess Anping didn't pay any attention to her afterwards, but she took the rest of the people back to her room in a bad mood.

But I heard from my maid that she was rescued by the prince later, and I don’t know whose sake it was.

It wasn't until late in the evening when Suzuran came over with a paper bag that Princess Anping felt a little better.

Suzuran smiled at this and handed over the paper bag in her hand.

"Princess Anping, this is the lotus leaf chicken that the princess asked your slave to bring over. You didn't eat in the afternoon, so this will be a good meal."

Princess Anping suppressed her happiness and hummed, and waited until the people left before pretending that nothing had happened and walked to the table.

She had been holding back her anger this afternoon, so she felt a little happier when she still remembered the little girl when she met her.

Forget it, for the sake of her face, I would reluctantly help keep an eye on Shen Yang, so as not to look like Gardenia's deceitful person and never know when she was bullied.

Gardenia simply bought too much and couldn’t eat it: she felt guilty for no reason.jpg

As a result, the queen discovered that she had sneaked out of the team, so when Suzuran came back from delivering the things, she saw her princess being carried to another room by the queen.

She sighed inwardly and noticed the look in the little girl's eyes. She turned around and went to the general for help.

Gardenia was sitting on the stool below, holding an orange in her hand that had been stuffed by the palace servant, with her knees together, looking as obedient as she could.

The queen was lying on the bed, and the nanny beside her was gently pressing her temples.

The room was eerily quiet.

After a while, the queen opened her eyes and looked at her, her voice was neither salty nor cold.

"Do you know it's wrong?"

There were many concubines coming from the harem this time. For fear of accidents, she followed almost the entire journey and did not stay with His Majesty. Naturally, she didn’t know what happened on the way, or whether she only found out about it when the Emperor accidentally let it slip just now. thing.

The queen's biological sister was originally married to Gardenia's mother's brother. If true, it would be okay for the little girl to call the queen aunt.

The queen currently has three sons, namely the prince, the fourth prince and the seventh prince, and she does not have a daughter.

Therefore, even if she didn't mention this relationship, she really cared for the little girl as her biological daughter. However, she kept it secret from herself when something like this happened. It was impossible to say that she was not angry.

Gardenia nodded innocently.

"I know I was wrong."

Seeing that the queen's expression was softening, she sneaked over and grabbed her cuffs.

"Aunt...aunt...the Queen..."

"...Don't try to act coquettish and get away with it. If you don't teach me a lesson, you will be in trouble. Go back and copy the book for me thirty times, and hand it over to me when you get to the palace. This will prevent you from wandering around on the road again."
