The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Minglang took Qin Xiaosi to the flower garden. It was so late, and there was still a gardener on duty tending to the flowers and plants in the garden.

"This servant greets Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Minglang raised his hand and signaled the gardeners to stand up.

"What are you doing so late at night?"

The temperature in the garden was slightly higher than outside, but not much better.

Minglang pulled his cloak closer. The air was filled with the fragrance of earth and flowers.

"To answer your Highness, it is colder tonight than last night. The servants are worried and want to come in to check on the flowers and plants."

If it were ordinary flowers and plants, they wouldn't be working in the garden so late.

But now, all the flowers and plants in the flower garden were transplanted from the Cining Palace.

Every one of them is extremely valuable, so they dare not slack off at all.

What's more, most of the flowers and plants in this flower garden are priceless.

If they raise it well, they can get a reward, but if it is raised badly, the consequences will be something they cannot afford.

Minglang took the lantern from Qin Xiaosi's hand and took a closer look at the flowers and plants.

He still looked a little listless, but much better than that day.

"You are so thoughtful. You will be rewarded handsomely after you take good care of these flowers and plants."

Minglang personally looked at every flower and plant.

Those who could not be saved have been moved to the most marginal areas.

The remaining ones seem to be able to survive.

"Didn't they move six pots of peonies here? Why do I only see four?"

After walking around the entire flower garden, Minglang keenly noticed that something was missing.

The palace servants on duty in the flower garden looked at each other, and a slightly older one walked out.

"In reply to Your Highness, the other two pots of peonies look a little sick. I put them here to prevent the sickness from spreading, so I put them in the back."

Minglang had heard from Grandma Huang before that trees can also get sick and are contagious.

At that time, I didn't expect that this would happen to me so soon.

It was her fault.

"Take me over there and have a look."

The palace maid at the front quickly responded and gestured for invitation to the back.

Minglang took the lantern and walked in the direction of his finger.

Qin Xiaosi followed behind.

Before leaving the flower garden, I looked back at the flowers and plants in the garden.

It can be seen that these flowers and plants are all blooming extremely beautifully in their prime.

Even though it was sick and wilted now, it was still much more beautiful than any he had seen before.

"Your Highness, this is it. These two pots of peonies were just moved here."

As they were talking, the candles in the backyard were lit, and the lighting was much better.

Minglang approached with a lantern in hand. The condition of these two peonies was indeed much worse than those in the flower garden.

"Have the two that didn't have any been saved?"

These two plants are Grandma Huang’s favorites in recent years. Look at what they look like now.

She could imagine Grandma Huang's reaction when she saw these two plants.

"In reply to Her Royal Highness, the medicine has been used, but the reaction is not very good."

The leaves have wilted and curled up, and the flower buds that have just grown on the branches have lost some of their color.

It looks like he's not going to survive.

Minglang turned his head and looked at Qin Xiaosi.

"Do you have any way to save these two pots of peonies?"

When she first came, she just wanted to try Qin Xiaosi and see how much she could use the booklet after reading it.

But now looking at the condition of these two pots of peonies, she really wants to save them.

For her, Qin Xiaosi was just a last resort.

"I can give it a try. I've seen peonies like this elsewhere before. If I can't save these two pots of peonies before the New Year, I'll go there and personally escort them back to Beijing."

Minglang nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

Before leaving the flower garden, Minglang carefully checked all the transplanted flowers and plants.

He said to the palace guards on duty:

"After these flowers and plants are well taken care of, I will reward you handsomely."

If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it.

When the palace servants heard that there was a reward, they became visibly excited.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness."

Minglang took Qin Xiaosi away from the flower garden.

After returning to the Cining Palace, Minglang went to the side hall.

As soon as the outer robe was taken off, Minglang's hand pressed on Qin Xiaosi's hand that was about to take off the cloak.

"This has nothing to do with you. Go back and rest. You don't need to get up too early tomorrow morning. Just remember to forget those two pots of peonies."

This is his first official mission after entering the palace, and Qin Xiaosi is confident that he can complete it well.

"Yes, Your Highness, rest assured, I will complete the task."

After Qin Xiaosi left, Minglang was not in a hurry to go to bed.

"Your Highness, I have brought you some hot water. Please soak your hands and warm yourself."

Minglang put his hands in the basin and soaked them in the warm water, and he felt relaxed all over.

"Qin Xiaosi was reading a brochure outside today. How long did he spend reading it?"

After being asked, Nanxing fell into a brief contemplation.

"To answer your Highness, it seems he read it three or four times, but I don't know if he has truly finished it."

Just now in the flower garden, Minglang was planning to test Qin Xiaosi's understanding of the booklet before going there.

After seeing the two pots of peonies that were dead beyond death.

She was not in the mood to test Qin Xiaosi again.

As long as Qin Xiaosi can finally save those two pots of peonies, or get two new pots of the same variety of flowers before the New Year.

She thought he was quite capable.

"Qin Xiaosi is already in the flower garden. Your Highness, do you still want to read that booklet?"

Nanxing looked at the dark spots under the prince's eyes and felt a little distressed.

"Your Highness, you haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time. Please don't stay up tonight."

Others may not know, but Nanxing knows.

Although His Highness locked himself in the palace in the afternoon.

But His Highness was not sleeping, but studying government affairs.

"It's okay. I was sleepy and fell asleep naturally."

Go to bed now, it's a waste of time outside.

After soaking his hands, Minglang wiped them on the long towel hanging beside him.

He walked to the cabinet next to the desk and searched several times.

Finally found a long-forgotten list.

"I will light all the candles around Your Highness. Please be careful with your eyes."

Knowing that he couldn't persuade him, Nanxing could only do what he could for His Highness.

Minglang flipped through the somewhat old roster.

After being stored for a long time, in addition to the scent of ink, there is also some musty smell.

Nanxing smelled it when she came over to light the candle.

"It smells really musty. Your Highness, why don't you give this booklet to me to get rid of the musty smell first?"

Minglang picked up the booklet and knocked it against the corner of the table to knock off the dust.

"That's it, no need to bother anymore."

Ever since Qin Xiaosi appeared, Minglang discovered that everyone around her was very caring towards Qin Xiaosi.

This phenomenon is very strange, because it is impossible for the people around her to pay special attention to a secret guard for no reason.

Qin Xiaosi is still unwilling to take off his mask in front of outsiders.

Qin...
