The banquet lasted for a long time. After Shen Huaixu finished eating, he stared at a certain place in a trance and talked to Fu Tuan in the space.

[Host, is the food in the palace delicious?] Fu Tuan was almost drooling.

It had only eaten snacks in the palace and had never tasted any food.

How could it not be delicious? Working in the palace is tough. If you're not careful, you might even lose your life.

Fu Tuan had a sad face, his eyes rolling around as he started to think, "Host, didn't the emperor say he wanted to reward you? How about asking him to treat you to a meal? Anyway, you're very rich..."

Chen Huaixu didn't want to listen to its bad ideas, so he entered the planting space. Fubao was picking ripe fruits in the fruit area, such as strawberries, each one was big and juicy.

She had tasted it before and it tasted sweet too.

He interrupted Futuan's complaints and said, "Stop nagging me. There's so much food in this space, but it can't stop your mouth. If you don't have enough to eat or drink, what will happen..."

"Chen Huaixu? Chen Huaixu!"

The shouting brought Shen Huaixu back to reality, "Sister Chaohua?"

Hearing her calling "sister" affectionately, the young ladies around Chaohua exchanged glances with ambiguous expressions.

Princess Chaohua raised her chin slightly and said, "Didn't I tell you just now? Why aren't you following me?"

"Okay." Shen Huaixu stood up and responded obediently, "Sister Chaohua, please."

Chaohua was very satisfied with Chen Huaixu's respectful and well-behaved attitude. She turned and left, and Chen Huaixu followed closely behind.

Walking out of the hall, the people following behind couldn't help but slow down their pace when they looked at the two figures in front.

"What does this mean, Princess?"

"What do you mean?" One of the young ladies, who was about 18, glanced at the speaker. "Can't you see? This Miss Shen is used to doing things to please others. You can tell from the birthday gift she gave to the Empress that she is not a simple person."

"Yan'er is right." The young lady next to Shangguan Ruoyan echoed, "People from the countryside don't behave properly. It's only because the princess has a good temper that she allows her to call me sister."

"Hmph!" Yi Qian sneered and walked away quickly.

Where there are many people, there are many troubles. The incident that Marquis Xuanping had caused in her Yi family is still vivid in her mind. Some people have started to make trouble out of nothing again. They look down on others and don't feel comfortable until they step on others.

She had gotten to know Chen Huaixu a little bit in the past few days. This man was definitely not as harmless as he seemed, nor was he someone without any means and who could only rely on his father.

"Strange." Shangguan Ruoyan looked at the backs of the two people in front of Yi Qian talking and asked in confusion, "Does Yi Qian know the man surnamed Chen?"

Yi Qian is a famous talented woman in the capital. She is aloof and proud. Those who are on good terms with her are all educated people. Although she looks down on Yi Qian's aloofness, she has to admit that Yi Qian has a good eye for people.

Someone said: "I don't know whether Yi Xi and Shen Huaixu knew each other, but she should know Xuan Ping Hou..."

After being reminded of this, everyone couldn't help but think of what Marquis Xuanping had done in the Yi family before, and they all fell silent for a moment.

Shangguan Ruoyan sneered, "I see. Marquis Xuanping is an elder after all. It's really narrow-minded of him to interfere with a girl's joke. I never thought the Yi family would be frightened by his words. If he came to my Shangguan family and acted like this, my father would definitely file a memorial to His Majesty!"

"Your father is an old man who has followed His Majesty to conquer the world. He was personally conferred the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan by His Majesty. The Empress Xian in the palace is closely related to your family. No one else can compare to her."

······

Different from the enthusiastic atmosphere of the crowd behind, the three people in front were really enjoying the flowers, not wasting the rare beautiful spring weather.

In late spring, the Imperial Garden was ablaze with flowers, dazzling the eyes. Fu Tuan's radar rang out. Shen Huaixu pretended to walk to the place indicated by Fu Tuan and squatted down to look at the cluster of fragrant flowers in the flower bed.

"You have good taste. You like the flowers that my royal grandmother likes."

Yi Qian also said: "I have one at home, which was given to me by the Queen Mother."

Chen Huaixu raised his head, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Princess Chaohua, his smile brighter than the flowers. "Sisters, what is the name of this flower?"

"This was offered as a tribute by foreign envoys. It's called Freesia."

"I'm afraid it's not very convenient at Sister Yi's house. Can Sister Chaohua give me one?"

Princess Chaohua was stunned by Chen Huaixu's blunt words, "Chen Huaixu, do you think this is your backyard?"

Chen Huaixu sighed and stood up reluctantly. "Mingyi saw that there were flowers like this in other places in the Imperial Garden, and thought that asking for one or two would be okay, so I shamelessly asked you. If you don't want to, Mingyi won't force you."

Princess Chaohua felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. She glanced at Shen Huaixu. Was she saying that she was stingy?

"I'll ask the gardener to dig two for you later."

Chen Huaixu narrowed her eyes and smiled, feeling extremely happy. At first, she saw that the princess seemed to be a little jealous of her, so in order not to offend the princess, she acted softly. Who would have thought that it would turn out to be the right outcome, and the little princess seemed to be quite fond of her trick.

Thinking of this, she stepped forward and gently took Chaohua's arm, "Sister Chaohua, do you know why I want this flower?"

Chaohua felt uncomfortable and tried to pull his arm out but failed.

"Is it for medicinal use?" Yi Qian guessed.

Shen Huaixu smiled and nodded at Yi Qian, "Yes and no, it's to see if it can be used as medicine."

She turned to Princess Chaohua and said, "Sister Chaohua, I can read faces. When I first met you, I felt that you must be a kind-hearted person. There are so many flowers and plants in the imperial garden that are not usually seen. If you can understand them, it will be a great good deed. Then you will be the first-class hero. In the future, all the patients cured by these medicines will have a share of your merit..."
