After getting the answer she wanted, Gardenia nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, she felt that fifty times was a bit too little, but thinking about how he would cause trouble after going to the palace, she thought about it and decided not to add fuel to the fire.
She is so kind!
The prince, who was on extra missions for no reason, gritted his teeth and lowered his head in response.
Afterwards, Gardenia didn't stay any longer, and thoughtfully made space for mother and son, not forgetting to take away the remaining fruit plate in her arms before leaving.
Seeing her leaving happily, the three princes felt their teeth hurt inexplicably. Sure enough, nothing good would happen if they met this little ancestor. Who knew when it would be their turn.
It just so happens that this is the favorite of His Majesty and the Queen. Thinking about her background, everyone can only break their teeth and swallow it.
In fact, if there is any force involved, they will never let it go as they are now, but the other party is just a pampered little princess with no connection with the court, so there is no need for them to spend a lot of time to interfere with it, so as not to waste money. You can't get enough of it with all your strength.
A few people here were deep in thought, while Zhi Nai was biting into pieces of apple and bumped into Linglan and Huo Lichi who were looking for them.
Suzuran trotted over and checked her around, feeling relieved.
"It's good that the princess is not punished."
At the mention of this, the little girl's head drooped, her nose wrinkled and she muttered.
"I need to copy the book, thirty times!"
Huo Lichi was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
"I'll copy it for the princess."
Gardenia pretended to cough, her little eyes looking forward to it.
"Really? Aren't you still responsible for the safety of the palace?"
"It's okay. Thirty times won't take long. Besides, this happened because of me, and the princess was punished instead."
Gardenia immediately felt happy because she didn't have to copy the book by herself. She stood up on tiptoes and patted his shoulder. She pushed the fruit plate into his arms.
"This is a thank you gift!"
After saying that, he grabbed his sleeve and led people away. This floor was the territory of the harem concubines after all. Huo Lichi was a foreign minister and a man, so it would be inconvenient to stay here.
The young man was also obedient, and the dignified general was dragged away by the little girl, and he was able to protect the fruit plate in his arms with ease.
The whole time, only Suzuran was following behind, breathing a sigh of relief.
For a while, I shouted in my heart that the little princess should move slower. For a while, I felt that my princess's movements were too heroic and did not have the elegance of a royal relative. I couldn't bear to look away. In the end, I almost felt like a Buddha.
Forget it, it seems that her princess has no image in front of the general.
But when she found out that the little girl was planning to take the person back to her room, Suzuran couldn't help but gasp, and then quickly stepped forward to stop her.
"Princess Princess!"
Seeing her winking wildly at him, Zhi Nai frowned in confusion, wondering what she was thinking.
Fortunately, Huo Lichi reacted now, lowered his eyes and looked at her for a while, and moved his fingers slightly.
"Princess, please rest early, we have to go on the road tomorrow morning."
After sending the person to the stairs, he made an excuse to leave.
Gardenia stood there, looking at her hands, thoughtfully.
Did I pinch myself just now?
…
The next day, after breakfast, the group continued on their way and finally arrived at the summer resort in the afternoon.
Someone from the palace had already arrived before them, and now the palace was filled with coolness. As soon as they entered, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if even their pores were stretched.
It was not the first time for Gardenia to come here. She was led skillfully to her yard by the palace servants, holding a few freshly picked lotus pods in her hands.
The koi carps fed in the pond cannot be eaten, but the lotus pods cannot be spared.
