"Her Royal Highness is kind, and it is also your good fortune." The old lady took Gu Yuanfang's hand and said, "Her Royal Highness has no children. In the future, you should be more filial to her to repay her kindness."
"Well, I will definitely remember my great-aunt's words and be filial to Her Royal Highness the Princess." Gu Yuanfang said proudly, "Her Royal Highness the Princess said that she will adopt me as her adopted daughter after the Wanshou Festival."
