Chapter 328
Liu Yurou had never experienced true love, so she couldn't see it clearly. But the atmosphere inside the carriage was cheerful, so she didn't take it to heart.
On the other side.
Wang Jiarong was helped by her maid to walk slowly outside. Facing the cool autumn breeze, she felt that the nausea in her heart had subsided considerably.
At this moment, Zhu Lan came over with fruits and motion sickness cream. She bowed to Wang Jiarong and presented the items with both hands: "Madam, these are fruits and motion sickness medicine sent to you by the Imperial Concubine."
Wang Jiarong was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the largest carriage in front of her. The carriage was parked there quietly, and no one lifted the curtains of the windows. It seemed that the people inside had never noticed her.
She withdrew her gaze, gestured to the maid beside her to put the things away, and then said, "This humble woman thanks Your Highness, the Noble Consort."
She didn't quite understand why the Imperial Concubine would send her gifts. Her feelings towards the Imperial Concubine were complicated, but she was mostly angry with her. However, she also understood that the Imperial Concubine couldn't be blamed for this.
After all, even if there was no imperial concubine, there were others. Didn't Prime Minister Shen send a woman who resembled the late empress into the harem?
She also saw through Prime Minister Shen because of this incident. He claimed to miss the late Empress so much, yet he still sent Shen Man into the harem. Who would believe that he was the legitimate daughter raised on the estate?
She's more like a concubine than a Shen Man!
"This motion sickness cream has the special properties of a miracle doctor. Just apply it to the philtrum to relieve dizziness and reduce nausea," Zhu Lan whispered instruction.
Shen Man pulled herself out of her thoughts and nodded in response, "Your Highness is truly kind."
After saying that, she waved her hand and gestured for the maid beside her to come forward and slip a few silver leaves into Zhu Lan's hand.
After bowing, Zhu Lan left.
Inside the carriage, Shen Qingnian looked at the few silver leaves, her expression softening.
Jia Rong's personality hasn't changed at all. Although she resists other people's attempts to befriend her, she can't bring herself to be cold.
She asked Zhu Lan, "How is the Crown Prince's wife?"
"Your Highness, although the Crown Prince's wife is wearing a veil, she sounds quite well," Zhu Lan replied.
Shen Qingnian nodded, her gaze still fixed on the silver leaf, a hint of nostalgia in her expression.
Wang Jiarong and Chen Min were among the few young ladies she could talk to, and they were genuinely kind to her without any ulterior motives.
Just as her thoughts were racing, the silver leaves on the table were snatched away by a large hand, and a man's voice rang out: "If Qing Nian likes silver leaves, I will give you three large boxes when we return to the palace."
The silver leaf was a gift from someone else, and Qing Nian looked at it with a sense of nostalgia.
Shen Qingnian was both amused and exasperated. She took the silver leaf from Song Xuan's hand and handed it to Zhu Lan.
"If others knew that His Majesty was so stingy, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?" she said with a hint of teasing.
Holding Liu Yurou in her arms, little Shen Xi stretched out her delicate white fingers and stroked her face, saying in a soft, sweet voice, "Daddy, you're so shy!"
Xiao Yanqing, who was standing next to her, also covered her mouth and laughed.
Both little ones could tell that their father was jealous.
Song Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and he simply said, "If you know, you know; it's not something shameful."
He doesn't mind if others know about these things.
Shen Qingnian found it amusing to look at the man's serious yet shameless demeanor.
Just then, Xiaxiazi walked in carrying roasted meat—two roasted rabbits. The aroma of the roasted meat was mouthwatering, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Little Shen Xi exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! It smells so good!"
The little girl never thought eating rabbit was a terrible thing; for her, tasting good was the most important thing.
