Gao Zhenzhen followed Ling Xiang's gaze and also spotted the flower that shouldn't have been there. "These servants are getting lazy. Why don't they clear away flowers like this? Is it just an eyesore?"
Aunt Gui's expression changed, and she explained the matter naturally: "I think it was Hua Nu's negligence."
He immediately scolded the person behind him, "Hurry up and dig up these flowers and plant some more flowers that the princess likes!"
Hua Nu immediately took the order and went to do the job.
Ling Xiang quickly looked up information about Gesang flowers in the space, and she actually discovered something unusual.
Campanula is poisonous. Before it is made into poison, the toxicity will not be released, but it will remain in the soil, making it impossible to grow other flowers in the soil where campanula has been planted.
But, Gesang flowers are an exception.
Gesang flowers can gradually remove the toxicity left in the soil by bell flowers, but the residual toxicity of bell flowers can also damage Gesang flowers, causing their flowers to wither.
If it was true that wind chimes were planted here and that caused the gesang flowers to wither, then the "Seven-Day Wind Chimes" that poisoned Concubine Shu must have something to do with the eldest princess!
The matter was of great importance, Ling Xiang could not act rashly, so she pretended not to care and looked away.
As she entered the room, she secretly glanced at Xiaoyu and Mu Heng, then shifted her gaze to the Gesang flowers.
Mu Heng blinked and looked at Ling Xiang in confusion.
Xiaoyu seemed to understand and nodded secretly.
When the flower slave brought the tools, Xiaoyu pulled Mu Heng and enthusiastically went to help remove the flowers.
"Thank you, thank you, you don't have to come, we can do it ourselves." Hua Nu quickly refused.
"Alas, the flowers are all withered. How can the master be in a good mood after seeing this? Anyway, we have nothing to do right now. If we help you, we can quickly remove these withered flowers, right? Besides, I just happened to learn some planting techniques, so I would like to ask you professionals to help me see if I have learned well."
Xiaoyu is very enthusiastic and skilled. She has learned a lot of techniques for growing medicinal herbs from the young lady on the farm these days, which come in handy.
Seeing that Xiaoyu was an expert, Hua Nu no longer refused and was very grateful.
Xiaoyu secretly hid some flowers, thought about it, and dug some soil.
Mu Heng was completely confused, but he still tried to cover for Xiaoyu seriously.
On the other side, Ling Xiang entered the kitchen, and lunch came up one after another. As lunch was served, the eldest princess appeared outside the kitchen door.
Ling Xiang bowed: "Ling Xiang greets the Princess."
Gao Zhenzhen also followed suit and saluted: "Greetings, Princess."
"Get up quickly." The eldest princess was very enthusiastic. She personally helped Ling Xiang up and pulled her to sit next to her, completely ignoring Gao Zhenzhen.
Gao Zhenzhen looked unhappy. In order to avoid further embarrassment, she stood up and sat back in her original seat.
"Xiang'er, you haven't come for so many days. I thought you were angry with me and refused to come to the Prince of Qin's Mansion anymore."
Ling Xiang: Look, if she didn't come today, who knows what bad rumors would spread...
It was just a casual act. Ling Xiang smiled sincerely, "The Princess is so kind to me, how could I not come? If I hadn't been injured, I would definitely come to the Prince Qin's Mansion every day to study hard and live up to the Princess's expectations."
"Good child! I knew that you would not be instigated by people with ulterior motives and misunderstand me." The eldest princess was very happy and looked at Gao Zhenzhen meaningfully.
Ling Xiang pretended not to notice and continued to smile sincerely: "Ling Xiang has lived so long, and the eldest princess is the best elder to me. I will misunderstand anyone but the eldest princess."
"Okay, okay, good boy, come and have your meal." The eldest princess picked up the serving chopsticks and personally served food to Ling Xiang.
Ling Xiang was flattered and thanked him quickly.
The two of them interacted with each other, and were even closer than mother and daughter. Gao Zhenzhen, who was watching from the side, completely lost her appetite and wished she could leave immediately.
At this time, Nangong Yu walked in from outside, breaking the atmosphere in the kitchen at the right time.
"Your Highness..." Gao Zhenzhen was already feeling very uneasy, and when she saw her backbone coming, she immediately went to greet him.
In front of the eldest princess, Nangong Yu always protected Gao Zhenzhen. He pulled her to sit down and asked with concern: "You have been in class for such a long time today, why don't you rest in your room?"
Gao Zhenzhen said happily: "The princess is treating me to a banquet. I am happy and not tired."
Nangong Yu was very surprised.
Gao Zhenzhen has been in the Prince of Qin's Mansion for more than half a year. Except for the first time she came, her mother hosted a banquet for her to thank her for saving her life. Since then, she has never seen her mother have a good face towards Zhenzhen, let alone host a banquet for her.
The eldest princess looked at her son, pretending not to notice Gao Zhenzhen's transgression, and jokingly said, "Yu'er, I'm hosting a banquet for Miss Ling today. Are you thinking about your fiancée, so you came uninvited?"
Nangong Yu apologized, "It's my son's fault. I've been busy with official duties these days and haven't been able to spend more time with my mother for meals."
After listening to Nangong Yu's explanation, Gao Zhenzhen finally felt better after feeling uncomfortable for many days.
It seems that the prince has been really busy these days and has no time to even take care of the princess. He is not deliberately ignoring her.
Gao Zhenzhen immediately served Nangong Yu some food tenderly and considerately: "Your Highness, you must be tired these days. Come, try this."
The eldest princess's expression changed. "Yu'er, don't forget, your fiancée is still here. Don't let others think that we in the Prince Qin's Mansion have no rules."
The princess didn't praise Zhenzhen in any of her words, but instead blamed Gao Zhenzhen for being so intimate with Nangong Yu in front of his fiancée.
Nangong Yu looked at Ling Xiang.
Ling Xiang stared at the meat on the plate, drooling, as if he didn't hear what they said at all.
The way she looked made people feel that if she hadn't been concerned that this was someone else's house, she would have started eating with relish long ago.
Ling Xiang said: Yes, that's right, since she is at the dinner table, she is a foodie now, don't pick on her for no reason!
The parties involved didn't care anymore. Nangong Yu didn't respond to the princess's words. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks and served food to Gao Zhenzhen: "Zhenzhen, you've lost weight these days. Eat more."
Nangong Yu was the first to pick up his chopsticks. Ling Xiang was as if she had been pardoned. She quickly picked up the meat she had been eyeing for a long time and devoured it. After eating a piece, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Princess, where did you hire this chef from? It's so delicious!"
The eldest princess was very disappointed with Gao Zhenzhen: She had clearly asked Ling Xiang to suppress Gao Zhenzhen, so that Gao Zhenzhen could see her own identity clearly and stop coveting her son.
The result, is this?
How heartless must one be to allow another woman to steal the affections of one's future husband?!
"If you like it, eat more. I will ask the cook to make delicious food for you often in the future." The eldest princess sighed silently. She was really worried that Ling Xiang would not be a match for Gao Zhenzhen in the future.
"Yeah!" Ling Xiang responded vaguely with meat stuffed in her mouth.
The eldest princess's mouth twitched. Facing Ling Xiang like this, she was in a bad mood and had no appetite. She left the table after eating a few bites.
After sending the most troublesome one away, Ling Xiang was too lazy to pretend anymore, and stopped eating. She stood up and left the table: "I'm full, enjoy yourselves."
