Gardenia was placed aside, eating snacks and observing her expression. Seeing that she had no reaction, she felt a little guilty.
The queen read them one by one, with no change in her expression. She only raised her head and looked at her, as if testing.
"Did you really copy it? How could you be so active this time?"
The little girl straightened her back unconsciously and looked serious.
"I have always loved studying, and I was just punished for copying. Originally, it was because there were so many interesting things in the capital that attracted me. Now that I have come to the palace, I finish copying without having anything to do."
The queen said meaningfully and looked down again.
It's 80% similar to the little girl's own handwriting, so it's no wonder she's so confident. You wouldn't be able to tell at a glance.
Gardenia looks exquisite and beautiful, and her handwriting is also beautiful. She writes in the same way, but it is more refined than others. Yes, it is exquisite, so it is difficult for others to imitate her.
But although what I got now is similar in shape, each stroke has a bit of heroism and a unique character of its own.
As for the person to help copy the book, the Queen guessed it in a flash. After all, she had just mentioned it last night, and no one else had the courage.
But she didn't mean to expose the little girl. She just wanted to punish her, and she didn't really want her to work harder.
Handing the paper to the nanny beside her, the Queen nodded.
"Even if you finish it, you have to do this in the future."
After receiving the affirmation, the guilt in Gardenia's heart disappeared instantly and she nodded.
Anyway, she can ask her little brother for help next time.
After collecting the penalty copy, the queen seemed to ask an unintentional question.
"I heard that you have a very good relationship with General Xiao Huo. You have also reached the age of marriage. Would you be willing to betroth you to him? If you have any young master you like, you can talk to me about this marriage. I won’t force you, just choose what you like, and don’t worry about family status, His Majesty will naturally support you.”
I was afraid that she wouldn't understand the meaning, so I added a special sentence.
"You can choose from all the young masters in the capital."
Gardenia was looking at the candied fruits brought to her by the palace attendants, and she tilted her head casually when she heard this.
"General Xiao Huo?"
The queen hummed and said nothing more.
After confirming that it was the person she was thinking of, the little girl nodded sharply.
"Okay, I like him."
"..."
The queen choked and carefully observed her expression. After seeing that she did not resist at all and was even a little interested, she sighed helplessly.
(Guangtuan:...Actually, the reason why I am so excited is because I thought of going outside the village later.)
Since they were in love, she couldn't stop it anymore. She just had to find an opportunity to talk about it openly to her.
As a little girl, it is inevitable that she does not think carefully enough.
Just when I was thinking about when it would be convenient, I heard someone coming from the palace outside. It was obviously someone visiting.
Gardena had no intention of staying any longer, so when she saw someone coming in, she greeted her and left.
After all, we couldn't negotiate today, so the queen readily let him go.
When Gardena went out, she happened to bump into the fourth prince coming from the other way. Her eyes inevitably fell on his neck, but she looked away the next second.
The fourth prince didn't see it, but felt that Tan's eyes looked a little strange today, as if he was guilty, but also seemed to be sympathetic.
Frowning, he planned to simply say hello and leave, but inadvertently saw the purse hanging on her waist and subconsciously stopped.
"Which store does this purse of yours come from?"
Gardenia looked down and blinked as if remembering something.
"No, Nan Qing gave it to me."
Shen Nanqing?
The fourth prince lowered his eyes, nodded clearly and left.
