Chapter 475 Extra - Gift
When Shu Tong arrived, Ye Qingning was holding Abao and admiring the flowers under the eaves.
The roses and crabapples have already started to bloom at this time of year; there are many varieties, and their vibrant colors are quite beautiful.
The sun is shining brightly right now, bathing the entire house in a warm glow. Birds can be seen flying back to the woods, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
While petting the cat, Ye Qingning whispered to Abao, "Abao, look how nice this place is. It's much nicer than the concrete jungle of big cities. The only regret is that there's no skateboard... otherwise, it would be so pleasant to stroll around this garden."
Abao meowed, and Ye Qingning smiled, "But with you by my side, I'm happy no matter what I do... But I still hope the story ends soon so we can go back to Qing City..."
Even though Ye Qingning's voice was very soft, dancers have excellent hearing, and Chu Song, who was a few steps away, still heard everything she said.
A slight smile curved her lips.
Qingqing, how I long to return to Qing City as soon as possible!
These days you're more affectionate towards a cat than towards me...
Soon, two figures flashed in from the other end of the corridor. Shu Tong, holding a bouquet of flowers, walked briskly toward her.
The sunlight filtered down on Shu Tong, adding to her charming appearance. Her large, bright eyes warmed Ye Qingning's heart.
As expected of the female lead, she exudes the aura of a female lead wherever she goes.
Shu Tong quickly approached and bowed, saying, "This humble servant greets Your Majesty."
"Get up," Ye Qingning smiled. "We sisters don't need to be so polite."
Shu Tong smiled and handed over the flowers while praising A Bao, "A Bao is so well-behaved. I've never seen such an affectionate cat."
Ye Qingning took the bouquet and paused for a moment.
Although they are just ordinary flowers and leaves in a garden, the arrangement and packaging of the bouquets are very much like the techniques of modern people.
Seeing Ye Qingning in a daze, Haitang behind Shu Tong immediately curtsied and explained, "Miss Liangyuan wanted to come and pay her respects to Your Highness, so she picked the best flowers from the garden to bring to Your Highness. Miss Liangyuan is new to the manor and does not yet know the proper etiquette. I hope Your Highness will not blame her for her sincerity."
Ye Qingning glanced at Haitang and saw that she looked nervous.
I couldn't help but sigh to myself.
The female lead's maids are all clever and protective of their mistress; Haitang's character is really quite good.
"No, I like it very much." Ye Qingning smiled gently, "Thank you, little sister."
Shu Tong smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it, sister... I thought it wouldn't be right to come over for a meal without bringing a gift. I don't have anything fun to do where I live. Back in my hometown, I often wrap bouquets to give to people, so I thought I'd bring you a little something."
Ye Qingning showed the bouquet of flowers to Abao.
Abao looked up at Shutong and then meowed.
Ye Qingning smiled: "Look, even Abao likes it very much."
At this moment, Xiaodie came over and reported: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Kitchen has already delivered lunch."
"Okay." Ye Qingning stood up. "Let's go have a meal then."
Shu Tong nodded with great interest: "Okay."
After all, she was only a concubine and had not yet been favored by the Crown Prince, so her daily meals were naturally not as plentiful as those of the Crown Princess. Therefore, she was very happy to come to Chuyun Palace for a free meal.
Ye Qingning could see that she was genuinely happy, and her heart warmed as well. So she instructed Chu Song, "Chu Song, go to the small kitchen and make two servings of milk tea and bring them over."
Chu Song glanced at Shu Tong and nodded: "Yes."
Shu Tong paused for a moment: "Milk tea?"
“Yes.” Ye Qingning explained, “It’s made in Chu Song’s hometown, and it’s delicious.”
A calculating glint appeared in Shu Tong's eyes. She glanced in Chu Song's direction and saw the man's tall figure disappear into the kitchen.
