"Yes." Huanzhi took the things Su Ruojin gave her and walked out of the room, heading towards the kitchen.

Although the Prince's Mansion ordered a lot of food and wine from restaurants outside today, there are still some dishes that need to be prepared and supplied by the mansion's chefs.

The kitchen is incredibly busy right now, with people constantly directing the serving of dishes.

Huanzhi's clothes clearly didn't belong to the maids or nannies in the manor. As soon as she appeared, a nanny came up to her and asked, "Miss, what brings you here?"

"Granny, our princess is pregnant and would like a bowl of plum juice. Does the kitchen have any?"

The steward of the manor had previously instructed everyone in the manor that the Regent's Consort of the Great Chu was coming, and that since the Consort was pregnant, everyone should be extra careful.

Upon hearing Huanzhi's words, the old woman realized that the Regent Princess of Great Chu wanted to drink plum juice, and the girl in front of her must be one of the servants serving the princess.

The old woman looked troubled. "Miss, Northern Li is not like Great Chu. At this time of year, there is indeed no sour plum drink in the manor, and probably none in the entire Northern Li. If Your Highness wishes to eat something sour, could you perhaps have some sour candied fruit first? Or perhaps a pot of sour mare's milk soup?"

Huanzhi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. "Alright, then please have some prepared for me, and I'll send it to the Princess."

Seeing that Huanzhi wasn't picky, the nanny breathed a sigh of relief. Her master had previously instructed them that whatever the Regent's Consort of Great Chu wanted, they had to be satisfied, or else they would be held responsible.

If the Regent's wife insists on having plum juice, the nanny will go crazy.

The nanny quickly prepared these items and placed them on a tray.

Huanzhi was about to pick up the tray when she was stopped by the nanny. "Miss, how can you do this? Someone come here."

A maidservant hurried over and picked up the tray. "Miss, let me help you."

Huanzhi nodded without saying anything more. "Let's go."

Dong'er followed Huanzhi to the door of Su Ruojin's room. Huanzhi took the tray from her and said, "Thank you."

Dong'er curtsied to Huanzhi, turned and left, clutching the thing in her hand tightly.

Huanzhi entered the room and placed the food she had brought on the table. She then noticed that Su Ruojin was not in bed but was looking at the two potted plants by the window.

Huanzhi walked over and saw two pots of flowers by the window. One pot was full of white flowers, which were very small and each one looked like a star.

The other pot only had two flowers, one blue and one purple. The two flowers on one stem were separated into two, somewhat like twin lotus flowers, but with different colors, giving it a unique charm.

Huanzhi had never seen these two kinds of flowers before and was quite surprised. "Your Highness, what kind of flowers are these? It's already winter, yet they're still blooming so beautifully in Beili."

Su Ruojin smiled and said, "If I don't drive well, it won't kill me."

Huanzhi was startled and immediately realized, "This flower is poisonous? I'll take it out and throw it away right now."

This Northern Li is truly dangerous everywhere; there's always someone trying to harm the princess.

"It's alright, just leave it there. It can't poison anything. What did you bring back?" Su Ruojin asked.

Huanzhi breathed a sigh of relief. Among these people, no one could surpass the princess in terms of poison skills. If the princess said it was alright, then it must be alright.

“Some apricots, preserved plums, and a pot of sour mare’s milk soup,” Huanzhi said.

Su Ruojin walked to the table, sat down, and picked up a dried apricot to examine it closely.

Seeing the princess's state, Huanzhi became anxious again, "Is this candied fruit also poisonous?"

Dried apricots...

It seems that Femoron did put in some effort, knowing that she loves dried apricots.

"It's not poisonous, and it's even a bit nutritious. Huanqing, come over here, let's eat together, don't waste it." After saying that, Su Ruojin put the dried apricots into her mouth.

It's a bit sour.

Su Ruojin frowned, and after eating only one piece, she didn't want to eat anymore.

"Huanzhi, rest for a while. We'll be heading back soon." After saying that, Su Ruojin lay down on the chaise lounge in the room and closed her eyes.

Huanzhi ate a dried apricot, which was indeed a bit sour, but she had always liked sour foods since she was a child, so she didn't think much of it.

Since the princess wouldn't eat, she ate it herself.
