Zhao Ziyi took a carriage back to the Grand Princess Pingyang's Mansion. After getting off the car, she went straight to Wutong Garden. Of course, she was still holding the intact ginseng of unknown age in her hand.

She ran in carelessly, and Xia Chan couldn't catch up with her. "Princess, please slow down and watch the road carefully!"

"Boom!"

The sound of a box falling to the ground startled Zhao Ziyi. She looked sideways and saw Doctor Wen standing at the corner of the corridor with a large medicine box at his feet.

"My princess, is that ginseng in your hand?"

Zhao Ziyi nodded repeatedly and held up the ginseng to show off. "Doctor Wen has a good eye. This is ginseng. What do you think of its growth?"

Doctor Wen was over fifty years old, but he was walking very fast at this moment. He had come to Zhao Ziyi's side without her knowing when. His eyes were shining and he reached out to take the ginseng in her hand.

Zhao Ziyi retreated repeatedly, "Doctor Wen, this princess respects your age and won't bother with you. If you dare to touch this ginseng of mine again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

This is the sworn brotherhood gift Sister Wan gave me. I haven’t even warmed it up yet, and you dare to snatch it from me? Are you tired of living?

Doctor Wen shuddered. "Princess, may I have a discussion with you?"

"not good!"

After Zhao Ziyi finished speaking, she walked past Doctor Wen and hurried away, running into the side hall of Wutong Garden in one breath.

"Mother, look, what treasure did your daughter get today?"

In the side hall, Princess Pingyang was drinking tea from a cup.

She was wearing a moon-white brocade long dress with only a few elegant orchids embroidered with silver thread on the hem. A light blue ribbon was tied around her waist, and even when she was sitting, her slender waist, which was in her early thirties, was clearly visible.

Her long black hair was simply tied into a bun and fixed with several white jade hairpins. It was simple yet unique.

She has red lips and white teeth, and she doesn't wear any makeup, but her face is as rosy as a peach, which makes people envy her.

"Mother, why don't you answer your daughter?"

Zhao Ziyi had already rushed in, panting slightly, "Do you know where I went today?"

Princess Pingyang picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Zhao Ziyi's forehead. "Could it be that you went to the Prime Minister's residence to look for your sister Wan?"

"Mother, you know all this?"

"Tell me, what makes you so happy?"

Zhao Ziyi had just handed the ginseng in her hand forward, and before Princess Pingyang even saw it, Zhao Ziyi's hand was empty.

"Tsk tsk, this old man is truly enlightened. I can see a living ginseng that is over a thousand years old in my lifetime. I have no regrets in my life."

Zhao Ziyi took a look and thought, wow, this Doctor Wen is quite old, when did his legs and feet become so nimble that he could actually catch up with her speed and follow in?

"Hurry up and return the ginseng to me! It's a sworn brotherhood gift from Sister Wan. Don't try to take it away from me! I won't exchange it for anything!"

Princess Pingyang's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this. "Doctor Wen, you just said this is thousand-year-old ginseng. If I give it to my mother..."

Doctor Wen nodded repeatedly, "This ginseng is growing so well. Using it to replace ordinary ginseng will naturally have a better medicinal effect. I'm just afraid that the princess will be reluctant to give it away..."

Zhao Ziyi pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

This was something given to her by Sister Wan, and she was reluctant to give it to her, but the Imperial Grandmother loved her very much, so she should be filial to her.

After the surroundings quieted down, Doctor Wen felt embarrassed to stay any longer, no matter how thick his face was, so he had to reluctantly hand the ginseng back to Princess Hua'an.

He walked out, looking back every few steps. If he walked slower, even slower, someone might ask him to stay.

Unfortunately, it was paid by mistake after all.

When the mother and daughter were the only ones left in the side hall, Princess Pingyang sighed and said, "Tell me, what happened today?"

Zhao Ziyi stuffed the ginseng into Princess Pingyang's hand and said, "Mother, please give it to the Imperial Grandmother. The only reason I can't bear to give it away is because it was given to me by Sister Wan."

"There's no rush for this. First, talk to your mother and find out what happened today."
