My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

Huaying walked to the bag with a smile and untied the rope at the bag's opening.

After opening the bag, what comes into view are small and exquisite bags, each with a small note tightly stuck on it.

I took out a bag and looked closely, and saw a piece of paper with the name of the seeds and the planting method written on it.

The words on the note were vigorous and sharp, and one could tell at a glance that the person who wrote them must be a man.

Qing He, who was standing nearby, saw the notes and couldn't help but sigh, "Prince Yan is really thoughtful! He must be worried that you don't know how to plant these flowers and plants, so he wrote down the method specially."

Huaying smiled at Qinghe and said jokingly, "Oh, you little girl know a lot!"

Qing He smiled mischievously: "I can tell at a glance that Prince Yan treats Miss differently! When Miss reaches the age of marriage next year, I wonder how many people will come to our Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage! Maybe Prince Yan will even ask the Emperor to grant you a marriage!"

Huaying gently tapped Qinghe's head and said angrily, "Fortunately, we are at home. If you continue to talk nonsense like this, the lady will definitely punish you for being unruly if she hears you!"

Qingzhu, who was standing by, whispered to Huaying respectfully, "Qinghe was just joking, but you will inevitably receive invitations in the future. Before, Madam had been announcing that you were recuperating, so you could have some peace and quiet. However, since you attended the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, you have received many invitations. Madam declined them after reading them. Prince Yan never needs to use visiting cards when he comes to our house, first because of his high status, and second because he has a good personal relationship with our eldest son. When you have your coming-of-age ceremony next year, you will probably receive more invitations and gifts. It is better for you to know these things earlier so that you can make corresponding preparations in advance."

Huaying looked at Qingzhu, who was usually taciturn, and saw that he had said so many words in one breath today. She couldn't help but smile and admired softly, "I didn't expect Qingzhu's state of mind to be so clear and calm."

Qinghe stood aside and said to Huaying in a low voice, "Miss, Qingzhu used to work in Madam's room. This time when you came back, Madam specially arranged for her to come and take care of your daily life."

However, at this moment, Qingzhu knelt down without any warning, and said respectfully and firmly: "Since I followed the young lady, I have sworn in front of the lady that I will never do anything to damage the young lady's reputation!"

Seeing this, Huaying was touched and quickly reached out to help Qingzhu up from her kneeling position. She comforted him softly, "Qinghe didn't mean anything by that. You don't have to take it too seriously. Now that you've come to Molan Pavilion, in my eyes, you and Qinghe are both my close friends."

After hearing Huaying's words, Qingzhu finally released the grievances that had accumulated over the past few days, and tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded vigorously.

When Huaying saw Qingzhu wiping her tears, she realized that she had been a little careless. She never liked having too many people serve her closely, and she was used to Qinghe's care, so she forgot that Qingzhu was originally from her mother's courtyard. She thought that she should be more careful in employing people in the future to avoid such embarrassment.

Huaying calmed herself down and walked to the bag again, checking the cloth bags of various colors one by one, thinking that she would bring so many flower and grass seeds to Dongxue next time she went to Taohua Town, and she would surely like them.

He tied the bag tightly, turned around and told Qingzhu, "Qingzhu, put this bag of seeds in a slightly drier warehouse."

Qingzhu agreed with a smile, picked up the bag and prepared to leave. Huaying motioned Qinghe to help her carry it.

Qingzhu looked at Qinghe sheepishly, only to see Qinghe grinning at her. Qingzhu burst out laughing. Huaying was also amused by Qinghe and shook her head helplessly.

When the two of them came back, Huaying took them to the street to look around and buy some seeds.

After entering the rice shop, Huaying picked some wheat. It seemed that this was the only crop suitable for planting in this season.

After paying, he walked out of the store carrying the purchased corn.

Just then, Huaying heard a voice calling her name from behind.

Huaying thought, would anyone be able to recognize me with this veil on?

Turning around and looking in the direction of the voice, she saw Princess Zi Jin, without a veil or hat, walking slowly towards her with a smile on her face.

Upon seeing this, Huaying bowed to her and greeted her.

Princess Zijin also returned her greeting, and held Huaying's hand affectionately, saying coquettishly: "Oh, I've told you many times, just call me Zijin like we did in Taohua Town, and don't call me Princess Princess anymore. By the way, have you tried the red bean cake that your brother brought back last time? How does it taste?"

Huaying looked at Zijin with a friendly face, but she could not feel the slightest desire to get close to him.

I always feel that Zi Jin is like a "pure" white lotus. This feeling already existed when I was in Taohua Town.

Huaying quickly gathered her thoughts and replied with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, sister Zijin. I have tried the red bean cakes and they are delicious. Sister Zijin is going out today. Do you want to buy something?"

Zi Jin took her hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to my sister's shop. If you like anything, just take it. Just consider it a gift from me."

Huaying smiled and nodded, then followed Zijin to a shop called Jewelry Shop.

As soon as you step into the store, you will see a wide variety of jewelry on display. There are also many women in the store choosing their favorite jewelry.

When the shop owner saw the princess coming, he hurried forward to greet her.

Zi Jin waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be polite, and then he walked around the store holding Huaying's arm.

Zi Jin stopped in front of a golden flower hairpin and said to Hua Ying, "This hairpin is quite interesting! Once, I was discussing poetry with Brother Fu at Zui Jiang Yue, and we talked about the line 'A hairpin is like a dream of prosperity'. At that time, I suddenly had an idea to draw the artistic conception of this poem into a set of hairpin styles, and then ask a craftsman to make it. Later, I drew the style for Brother Fu to see, and I didn't expect that even a cold-tempered person like him would praise me for my ingenuity."

When he said this, Zi Jin's cheeks turned visibly red.

Huaying silently looked at her face which turned red with shyness, and a feeling of depression surged in her heart, but she still smiled slightly, did not say anything, and turned her head to continue looking at the hairpins on the counter.

Zi Jin seemed to be afraid that Hua Ying might misunderstand him, so he quickly pulled Hua Ying's arm and whispered in her ear, "Please don't laugh at me! When we talked about poetry that day, I mustered up the courage to ask him if he had a crush on someone. When I found out that he didn't, I dared to talk to him more about poetry. Our daily correspondence was just about discussing poetry, really."

Huaying turned to look at Zijin and saw that her cheeks were slightly flushed, and even the tips of her ears were a hint of red.

Huaying raised the corner of her mouth slightly and responded with a smile: "As long as Sister Zijin is happy, there is no need to tell me these things."

Zi Jin noticed that Hua Ying's face didn't look abnormal, so he continued to ask tentatively, "Oh, that's because I heard that you and Brother Fu are both the owners of Zui Jiang Yue, and even Brother Fu once told me that he trusts you like a brother or sister. That's why I wanted to ask you secretly, based on your understanding of Brother Fu, what does he like? I want to give him something to express my gratitude."

Huaying felt depressed, but she remained polite and responded, "Brother Fu and I are just partners. We don't interact much on a daily basis, so I may not be able to offer any advice on Sister Zijin's problem."

Zi Jin showed a look of disappointment, but soon regained his smile, picked up another hairpin and gestured on his head, saying to himself: "It doesn't matter, I'll think of other ways."

Then she picked out a few pieces of jewelry and asked the shopkeeper to pack them up to give to Huaying.

Huaying couldn't refuse and had to accept it.

After leaving the jewelry shop, Huaying said goodbye to Zijin with a smile. Zijin stared at Huaying's back with a smug smile on his face.
