Lanru shook her head helplessly at the little girl.
If people found out that the eldest princess had personally come to inspect her new house, wouldn't she be laughed at?
Nanxing led the way.
“Aunt Lanru, our Prince took into account that the Eldest Princess prefers quiet, so her bedroom has been arranged deep in the backyard of Prince Rui’s residence…”
Zhao Zhi couldn't help but complain in her heart, "What do you mean by taking into account the princess's preference for quiet? This is obviously intentional!" Shen Hanshan doesn't like this princess, but this suits her just the way she wants.
The princess's bedroom was soon reached.
Zhao Zhi looked up and saw a golden plaque hanging above the courtyard gate, with the three large characters "Feng Yi Lai" written on it, the handwriting smooth and solemn.
On either side of the door hung a red couplet with gold trim. The first line read, "The golden phoenix spreads its wings and sings of a prosperous age," and the second line read, "Jade dew moistens the clothes and nourishes the youthful years." The horizontal inscription read, "A happy marriage."
Nanxing explained, "Aunt Lanru, the couplet here symbolizes the beautiful marriage between the Princess and our Prince and their future prosperity. If the Princess doesn't like it, we can send someone to replace it with a new one."
Lanru looked at Zhao Zhi and, seeing that she had no expression, said, "No need to change. This pair is fine."
The three entered the new house and found it to be elegantly and warmly decorated.
There is a screen as soon as you enter.
The screen is decorated with landscape patterns, the colors are elegant and the artistic conception is profound.
The walls around the room are adorned with lifelike embroidered flowers and birds.
The window frames are decorated with red paper cutouts of magpies perched on plum blossoms, symbolizing good fortune and continuous joy.
Zhao Zhi thought to herself, "That's more like it."
Seeing that she nodded from time to time, Lanru knew that she was satisfied, so she stopped finding fault with her.
The east side of the new house is a rest area, where an exquisite wooden bed is placed, covered with silk quilts embroidered with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns.
A red tasseled canopy hung above the bed, swaying gently in the breeze, adding a touch of softness and warmth. On the other side of the bed was a dressing table, displaying various pieces of jewelry.
Zhao Zhi turned her gaze to the west side of the room.
On the west side is a desk, next to which is a display shelf. Several pots of orchids are placed on the shelf, emitting a gentle fragrance.
Lanru whispered in her ear, "This was made separately according to your request."
Zhao Zhi nodded her thanks.
The three of them left the dormitory, and Lanru said she had no complaints.
Nanxing breathed a long sigh of relief.
She escorted the two to the gate of the mansion, where she bumped into the drunken Shen Hanshan.
"Zhao Yi, give me back my Zhizhi, give it back to me!" Shen Hanshan muttered unhappily, holding the wine pot.
Upon seeing that it was an aunt from the palace, Du Heng quickly covered Shen Hanshan's mouth and said with a smile, "The wedding is coming soon, and my lord is so happy that he drank a few extra cups."
Zhao Zhi chimed in sarcastically, "Judging from the prince's expression, he doesn't seem happy at all. It seems the prince has a problem with our eldest princess!"
"No, don't mention the Princess in front of me!" Shen Hanshan stumbled and almost fell against Zhao Zhi.
Zhao Zhi quickly stepped aside, fanning the air with his hand, and said, "Ew, such a strong smell of alcohol! Don't let it interfere with important business tomorrow! If His Highness blames you, you'll be in big trouble!"
"Don't worry, Auntie, it won't cause any delays! Your Highness, let's go!"
Du Heng pulled Shen Hanshan forcefully into the courtyard.
