Granny Liu lay stiffly on the bed, her eyes open but lacking any spirit.
Where is she? What is she doing here?
Reality and dreams were torn apart until I saw the face of the shattered ink.
"Did you rest well, Granny?"
Granny Liu glanced at them briefly, completely ignoring them.
"It's already Chen Shi (7-9 AM), are you hungry?"
Looking at the food that was served, Granny Liu's eyes twitched violently.
"Ha, I was naive to have failed twice, but a third time?"
Why am I so greedy? Take it away!
Glug glug~~~
The moment the rumbling in my intestines began, the silence was deafening!
Sui Mo's face was taut, and he dared not show the slightest smile.
"This meal is guaranteed to be free of any added ingredients."
Today, two princes are going out, and there's a literary gathering at noon, so the Sixth Prince left the residence early.
Granny Liu sprang to her feet. "What do you mean? She didn't administer the drug when she left the manor, does that mean she'll add it again when she comes back?"
"That depends on whether you cooperate or not."
"you!"
Granny Liu was trembling with anger. "Are you just going to let her act like this? Aren't you afraid she'll cause trouble?"
Sui Mo said calmly, "Don't worry, Granny Liu, His Highness is not the same as before. She'll definitely cause trouble."
She had already heard about the task assigned by the palace from His Highness, and also knew about the request His Highness made to Lord Yinzhe. She felt that trouble was imminent.
Granny Liu: ?
What do you mean? You've grown up and matured, so you no longer feel shame or guilt for causing trouble, right?
"Don't worry, Granny, whether His Highness causes trouble or not has nothing to do with you."
You can stay at home and enjoy good food and drink. If you want to go out and have fun, you can go out and have fun. I will arrange a car. Consider it a day off.
Just wait patiently until the delegation arrives in the capital, then you can return to the palace.
"Whether you're nice to me, Your Highness, or not, what do you think?"
"Ha," Granny Liu scoffed, "did I have any other choice?"
"Of course, you can choose to continue taking the medication."
Liu Mama, who had been well-behaved all her life, almost lost her composure and swallowed the swear words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Don't worry, Granny Liu. His Highness instructed that the medicine you are given has no side effects and can even calm your nerves."
Did you feel incredibly refreshed after waking up? The medicine my staff personally prepares isn't cheap.
"You son of a bitch..."
Granny Liu's magic was ultimately broken.
The two sat facing each other, enjoying a meal meticulously prepared by the princess's residence.
This is Liu Mama's requirement; we must eat together.
Sui Mo thought that if they really had to take action, he could simply swallow the antidote first.
However, he didn't say the truth out loud, for fear of upsetting the elderly person he had finally managed to calm down.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally gotten through this lousy job.
Around noon, Qin Zhaoyue took the three children to Liuyuan Garden.
She was a bit stingy, but she did her best to play with them.
With the arrival of autumn, many new autumn fruits have come to market, including crisp pears, grapes, pomegranates, and watermelons from the Western Regions.
People eagerly ate melons to cool off in the autumn heat, and the women were no exception, trying all sorts of melons, both familiar and unfamiliar.
Qin Zhaoyue took a small bite of watermelon and, to be honest, it was far inferior to what she had eaten in her previous life.
However, they are all pollution-free products, so there's no need to worry about food safety issues such as pesticide use.
I bought some of the autumn fans that peddlers sold from their poles, and the flower ornaments and pendants woven from catalpa leaves by skillful women on the street, or the small notes that could be used to write poems. They looked so novel that I bought some of them.
I watched groups of children catching crickets in the grass at the corner of the neighborhood; I watched girls playing a game of grass fighting, comparing whose grass stems were the toughest.
Watch sumo wrestling and cockfighting; watch the Hu women in the tavern dance to the beat of drums; watch the street performers swallowing knives and breathing fire...
Being a leader of children isn't easy. With two boys and a girl, their energy seems inexhaustible, and even Qin Zhaoyue is finding it hard to keep up.
As soon as he got into the carriage, he fell asleep immediately and started snoring away.
Once awakened at the entrance of Lingering Garden, it immediately became energetic again.
Liuyuan Garden was the property of the Third Prince, and was bestowed upon him by His Majesty when he left the palace to establish his own residence.
The entrance wouldn't be bustling with traffic, since those attending the literary gathering wouldn't arrive at this time.
However, the carriages stretched far along the outer wall, with no end in sight.
The four imperial heirs arrived together. The steward had thought they wouldn't come, so he waited anxiously at the door. Upon seeing them, he immediately came out to greet them.
"Is dinner ready yet?"
Butler: So you've come for lunch? No wonder you only arrived at noon.
"It's almost time..."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."
The steward led the way, and after passing the screen wall depicting the four seasons, the railings of the winding corridor were made of jade bamboo.
Qin Zhaoyue really didn't have any impression of this place, after all, the original owner of this body disliked her third sister the most.
There's no way around it; underachievers are naturally inclined to keep their distance from top students.
Of course, her third sister also looked down on her.
Upon reaching the third bend, I suddenly saw the words "Autumn sounds arrive first at the bamboo" engraved on a lake stone outside the corridor, which I guessed was my third sister's handwriting.
A breeze swept through the hollow bamboo joints, as if playing a few musical notes.
Passing through the moon gate, the flowing cloud pattern made of five-colored pebbles in front of Chengqiu Hall flickers in and out.
Looking up, one discovers the mystery: the midday sun shines through the crystal prisms hanging from the eaves, casting ever-changing rainbows on the ground.
Thirty steps east along the bluestone path, the Seven-Bend Bridge of Shuyu Pond is shrouded in a thin veil of mist.
Here, you can already see a few scattered figures. The literary gathering does not emphasize luxury; many people are dressed in plain robes, and their hairpins and ornaments are also mainly simple and elegant.
It would be a big mistake to think that people don't care about their clothes. Although the colors are not particularly striking, there are many details hidden in them.
From a distance, she appears to be the daughter of the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, holding a purple brush and inscribing a poem on an octagonal screen.
As the brushstrokes passed, the silver threads embedded in the screen shone slightly with the ink, revealing that it was pine soot ink mixed with luminescent powder.
Suddenly, a clear tinkling sound of jade pendants arose from the west side of the hall. It turned out that three talented women dressed in tulip skirts were looking at a bronze chime.
Inside the Fuyun Pavilion north of the pond, two female Taoist priests were unfolding a three-zhang-long piece of embossed paper.
The woman in the moon-white Taoist robe struck the teacup with a tea whisk, and a restrained gasp could be faintly heard amidst the clear, melodious sound, as if she had used some unknown method.
Passing through the gourd-shaped gate dappled with bamboo shadows, the place suddenly became lively.
Langhuan Book House is home to many talented women who move about on the jade steps in a rhythmic fashion, like hopscotch.
Suddenly, a hidden compartment appeared in the stone wall, revealing a lotus-shaped cup carved from frozen stone, eliciting exclamations of wonder.
Qin Zhaoyue remembered that this place was indeed interesting; it was a mechanism set up by craftsmen in imitation of the "winding stream party".
There are many ways to play. The jade tablets can represent both musical notes and poems. Find the pattern and step on them in sequence to trigger the mechanism.
Tsk... Qin Zhaoyue curled her lips.
Another reason why the original owner of this body was unwilling to come here was that she had been ridiculed here before.
The older women were stepping on things and creating all sorts of ingenious gadgets, while she was just randomly stepping on things.
The key issue is that even now, she doesn't understand anything about music theory, poetry, or rhyme schemes.
"Sixth Sister," Xiao Jiu tugged at Qin Zhaoyue's sleeve, "that looks really interesting."
"No, it's not interesting."
"Zhaolong wants to go play."
No, you don't want to.
"Eh~~~"
