Green Plum answered in a measured tone: "She said it was loquat syrup made last year. It's especially good to drink when it's soaked in water at this time of year, as it quenches thirst, protects the lungs, and soothes the throat. Princess Niohuru said it's a small token of her appreciation, and she hopes that the concubine won't find it offensive."
Li Chenjiao hesitated for two seconds: "Take it. Say that I thanked her and remembered this. It's not a big deal. Tell her to take care of herself."
Green Plum agreed and left quickly, but Li Chenjiao, the person who delivered the things, was nowhere to be seen.
After Green Plum saw the person off, she quickly brought in the loquat syrup, which was packaged in three small, white porcelain jars that looked very cute and delicate.
"Have someone check it; if there are no problems, then put it away."
However, Niohuru was probably not foolish enough to tamper with things so openly; it was just that the items sent to the East Courtyard were always checked to ensure there were no mistakes.
Qiu Hu stepped forward and took the small box from Lü Mei's hand.
However, the loquat syrup did smell quite fragrant. Li Chenjiao kept glancing at it longingly as Qiu Hu took it away.
The eldest princess spent the whole day playing with the second princess in the east courtyard. Originally, the second princess was planning to go to the garden to play, but the eldest princess stopped her.
This girl is very obedient to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was naturally sensible. She thought that since the fourth master was still ill, it wouldn't be appropriate for the children to be too happy.
These past few days, Li Chenjiao has been restraining the Second Princess from going out to play. The girl has tried everything in the East Courtyard these past few days.
Fortunately, the eldest princess was there, and Li Chenjiao spent the afternoon making silk flowers with the two little girls.
However, most of the time the maids did the work, and Li Chenjiao only occasionally did a couple of stitches. The two little maids, on the other hand, could play happily with the scraps of fabric.
However, as the day passed, the Fourth Master in the front courtyard did not send the Second Princess's birthday gift. It was unclear whether he had forgotten or if there was some other reason.
In the end, Li Chenjiao still had Qiu Hu find the things prepared in the storeroom, and the little girl was overjoyed.
Later that night, the servants also presented many trinkets as if they were treasures, but the one who came out on top was Xiao Luzi.
I don't know where she got those jars of fireflies from, but when the candles were out in the house at night, the yard was filled with twinkling lights, which was absolutely beautiful.
The little girl was still muttering to herself before going to sleep.
However, after the little girl fell asleep, Li Chenjiao asked Xiao Luzi to release all the fireflies.
Fireflies filled the sky as Li Chenjiao sat on the veranda. Her maid brought out her favorite rocking chair from summer, and she swayed a round fan, looking utterly content.
That's fine too, if I forgot to send it, I forgot to send it.
There's nothing she can do; getting angry will only make her more tired and upset.
She didn't have the right to be angry.
People shouldn't be too greedy.
