An ordinary-looking traditional handkerchief
The Jingrou fabric is incredibly soft to the touch, and even though I usually wear high-quality materials, I can still feel the difference...
The silky smooth feel made Jingrou quite fond of it, so it wasn't as ordinary as it was described!
"Host, some items distributed by the system have a certain probability of triggering a lucky bonus! This is a matter of probability—we can't yet determine which item it is!" the Salty Fish System reminded.
The reason there's no way to confirm is that similar systems haven't been running for very long, and even they themselves are somewhat unsure...
Jingrou nodded with satisfaction. So that meant the handkerchief in her hand also had such a possibility? The handkerchief was embroidered with a peony flower, so lifelike that Jingrou liked it very much.
She was so fond of this handkerchief that she held it in her hand for a while. Then she heard footsteps outside. It was her wet nurse, whom she knew very well.
"I have to hide the box," Jingrou thought to herself. In her haste, she quickly hid the box without even having time to see what the last item was.
When the wet nurse, Ma Jia, quietly entered, she saw her young mistress sitting obediently on the bed, rubbing her eyes. Although she was already awake, she remained silent and sat there quietly, which made her heart melt.
"My dear young lady... what time did you get up? Shall we go to the Princess's courtyard for dinner? The Princess has prepared your favorite lotus seed soup..."
Feeling guilty yet obedient, Jingrou reached out and hugged her nanny's neck, then let her lead her downstairs to wash up.
Since she was just a child, Jingrou obediently raised her face to receive her wet handkerchief from her wet nurse. It took her a while to tidy herself up before she appeared neatly in Hesheli's courtyard.
As for the last reward he had been longing for, he could only wait until he was alone and went back inside to look at it slowly.

Yesterday, Hesheli learned from the nanny what happened after Jingrou went out, including encountering a mysterious little eunuch in the Imperial Garden.
Hesheli found this situation rather strange. Firstly, they had come from outside the palace, and according to palace regulations, it was unusual for a lowly eunuch to be kneeling there at that time. Unless the head eunuch was exceptionally bold, he should have been worried about offending them…
However, the nanny and wet nurse rarely came to the palace, and since it was raining, they didn't go over to take a look. Jingrou's attitude was unexpectedly persistent, which is why she was allowed to get closer.
Oh dear, what if that little eunuch has ill intentions and hurts Jingrou?
However, now that they had left the palace, they decided not to dwell on that matter. This served as a warning to Hesheli, reminding her not to let Jingrou follow her wherever she pleased.
Jingrou never expected that just because she showed a little kindness and became bolder in the palace, her maternal grandmother would become even more strict with her.
However, it wasn't a difficult task for her.
Anyway, she can easily do things like acting cute and charming now, and her grandmother is most susceptible to her charm!
Although Hesheli thought so, she was only three years old and couldn't even speak fluently yet, so what could she possibly do for her?
To say she was going to school was too early, and to say she was going to do embroidery was too much for her age, as her bones hadn't even hardened yet. How could she possibly be doing that? Even Hesheli herself felt sorry for her.
As for things like playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, forget about it!
No one else would even mention it, but just thinking about it made Hesheli's heart ache terribly, so naturally she would never let her precious granddaughter do such a thing.
Despite her intention to control Jingrou, she is actually the one who can't bear to see Jingrou suffer the most.
At the same time, Hesheli's favorite thing was to take her to her own courtyard, "feed" her the snacks she had prepared, and then fatten Jingrou up!
In the end, Jingrou could only pinch her increasingly round cheeks, trying her best to resist the allure of the snacks, and when she couldn't resist any longer, she opened her mouth and continued to eat.
"Did you sleep well today? You must have been exhausted from yesterday in the palace... Look how high the sun is..." Empress Hesheli lovingly embraced her granddaughter. Although she knew her grandmother was just saying that, Jingrou blushed and buried her head in her arms.
"Is she growing into a young lady? She's even starting to feel shy!" But looking at the little dumpling in her arms, Hesheli thought to herself, "She's still a long way from growing into a young lady!"
The grandfather and grandson ate a meal in harmony, and after resting for a while, it was already noon.
After noon, Jingrou's two aunts also arrived, and the group sat together making knots, preparing to make clothes and purses. Of course, in the prestigious Prince An's mansion, they didn't need to do these things themselves.
It's just that doing some needlework when I have free time, and making something for my husband or kids, is a meaningful thing.
Especially for Lady Irgen Gioro, whenever she did such things, she would always think of the time when she followed her husband to the border. The border was very harsh, and her maids had countless things to do. When Jingrou's second uncle returned from the battlefield or wore out his clothes during training, Lady Irgen Gioro had to personally mend them for him.
A dim lamplight and the silhouettes of two people are memories that Irgen Gioro Shi can never forget, so much so that when he does this kind of needlework, his eyebrows and eyes can't help but soften.
