Chapter 384 I like it very much, reward [16]
The Crown Prince spent half a day at the Duke of Zhenguo's residence, having lunch with Achu, chatting with her, and playing with the jade pendant.
When it was time to leave, the Crown Prince was still reluctant to part.
He was reluctant to part with his sister, and he was also reluctant to give up this relaxed and carefree feeling.
After all, the crown prince, as the heir apparent, has many burdens on his shoulders.
Fang Lu was also quite reluctant to leave. Although she had only stayed at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion for half a day, she had breathed in some air of freedom.
She also struck up a conversation with the palace maids of Fanghua Garden and learned that they could occasionally go out of the mansion for a stroll.
They also said that Princess Shenghua's temperament had improved a lot since she married Lu Zhixing.
Although he occasionally loses his temper, he no longer punishes the servants around him as often as before.
When she was in a good mood, she would casually give them little trinkets that were extremely valuable to them.
Fang Lu listened, feeling incredibly envious.
She was starting to regret it.
When she was climbing the ranks, she hesitated between the Crown Prince and the Eldest Princess.
Ultimately, she chose the Crown Prince because she had heard that although he was strict, he was not capricious.
They are fair in their rewards and punishments, but they never resort to violence or killing.
At least, my life can be saved.
It seems that being with the Eldest Princess is much better than being with the Crown Prince!
As Achu watched Fang Lu, the female lead, leave Fanghua Garden with the Crown Prince, her face practically screamed "reluctance to leave."
She remembered that in the original story, Fang Lu traveled from the modern era.
Since she was already in the palace, she had no choice but to climb the ranks and live a more comfortable life.
But deep down, Fang Lu still yearned for freedom.
She was just waiting to be released from the palace when she turned twenty, and then use the money she had saved to open a small shop.
As a result, she fell in love with Lan Qingchen.
Lan Qingchen returned to Yetu Kingdom, thinking that this was just a love affair that would end without a trace.
Not long after, Lan Qingchen led his troops to attack.
Fang Lu witnessed Lan Qingchen cut off the crown prince's head, and felt no attachment or regret towards him, only fear.
She tried to escape in the chaos, but Lan Qingchen caught her and brought her back.
Lan Qingchen insisted on giving her the rank of concubine, completely disregarding Fang Lu's wishes.
So the plot of this novel is sweet at the beginning, angsty in the middle, and sweet again at the end.
Of course, Ah Chu didn't see anything sweet about it.
I only saw the first part was a deception, and the second part was that Fang Lu knew she could not escape Lan Qingchen and was forced to give birth to the child.
She reluctantly compromised for the sake of her child and to make herself feel a little better.
Achu disliked Lan Qingchen very much, but had a good impression of Fang Lu.
She'd be willing to help her if she could.
So Achu stopped the Crown Prince: "I've heard that the palace maid named Chenlu by your side is very good at making desserts."
"Lately I've been craving sweets..."
Before Achu could finish speaking, the Crown Prince readily agreed, saying, "Chenlu is indeed very good at making desserts. My younger brother has grown up now and doesn't like sweets anymore, so let's give Chenlu to my elder sister!"
In fact, the Crown Prince really liked sweets, and he asked Fang Lu to make him a dessert almost every day.
Therefore, Fang Lu was able to become the Crown Prince's head palace maid entirely because she was very skilled at making desserts.
With a wave of his hand, the Crown Prince kept Fang Lu behind.
Fang Lu was completely dumbfounded.
What?!
Did she really stay after only thinking about it in her mind?
Watching the Crown Prince's carriage depart, Fang Lu felt uneasy.
Although I heard from the palace maids in the afternoon that the princess's temper had improved a lot, she still had a criminal record.
However, Fang Lu had a good attitude and believed in making the best of a bad situation. She started to look through the dessert recipes in her mind, thinking about what kind of dessert to make for A Chu.
Fang Lu heard that A Chu had recently taken a liking to grapes, so she decided to make a grape mousse cake for him.
Fang Lu has loved eating desserts since she was a child, and she also enjoys researching them.
She was very grateful for her hobby, which allowed her to travel to ancient times and rise to the position of head palace maid by the Crown Prince's side.
When Achu tasted Fang Lu's improved version of the mousse cake, she felt that her decision to keep her was quite wise.
She has indeed been preferring sweeter flavors lately, and Fang Lu happens to be very good at them.
Achu, who originally had little appetite, finished the mousse cake that Fang Lu made all by herself.
Oh, I shared some with Lu Zhixing to try.
Fortunately, Lu Zhixing really doesn't like sweets and wasn't interested in them at all.
Ah Chu ate happily, raised her hand, and lazily said, "I like it very much, reward me."
Fang Lu quickly knelt down to express her gratitude, and breathed a sigh of relief.
If you like it, that's great!
It seems her job is still secure.
When Fang Lu received a delicate and adorable solid golden peanut, she was so happy she almost burst out laughing!
Good heavens! This princess is so generous!
If things continue at this pace, wouldn't she be able to open a big store when she regains her freedom at the age of twenty?
Why rent a small shop? Just buy it!
Hahaha!
Fang Lu stayed with A Chu, and both of them were quite happy.
Some people, however, were unhappy.
Lan Qingchen never expected that Fang Lu had only accompanied the Crown Prince to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and that she would never return!
For a moment, he speculated on many possibilities.
One possibility is that the eldest princess learned of his unusual relationship with Fang Lu, became jealous, and kept him by her side to torment him.
Lan Qingchen was very worried about Fang Lu, but all the spies he had planted in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion had been removed by Lu Zhixing.
No matter how worried he was, he couldn't reach into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and had no way of knowing whether Fang Lu was safe and sound.
For Fang Lu's sake, Lan Qingchen attempted to plant more spies in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
During this time, Achu and Fanglu were both doing well.
Ah Chu's life after becoming pregnant was not much different from usual; she still ate, drank, and played.
The only difference is that the nightlife is monotonous.
In ordinary families, after the wife becomes pregnant, the couple usually sleeps in separate rooms.
But Achu didn't mention it, and Lu Zhixing slept with her every night.
Occasionally, the two would have a wild moment and try some scraps of meat.
Ah Chu was fine; Lu Zhixing had a strong sense of service, so she was always satisfied.
As for Lu Zhixing, he could only take cold showers in the middle of the night.
As for Fang Lu, she felt that she was living a wonderful life right now!
When she was by the Crown Prince's side, she was his personal maid, who not only made him a variety of desserts every day, but also served him in various ways.
Fortunately, she's a high-energy person and can handle it.
But it's different for Achu.
Achu already had a head maidservant who served her personally, so she didn't need her at all.
So what she had to do every day was to make different kinds of desserts for Achu.
The rest of the time, she's idle!
Ah Chu was happy with the food, and he would reward her almost every time.
Fang Lu also found herself an excuse to go out of the mansion to find more fresh ingredients, and was able to go out—just for a stroll!
Fang Lu felt that even if she couldn't regain her freedom, such a life was acceptable.
Oh, of course, it would be better to regain my freedom!
