Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

When Qinghuan was sent back to Chaoyang Palace, Hua Manman leaned on the soft couch and took a nap.

Seeing that Qinghuan came back safe and sound, she felt relieved, but at the same time her sleepiness doubled.

Her eyelids kept pressing down, and she said vaguely while yawning.

"Hurry up and go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."

Qinghuan replied: "Here."

She helped the princess to sleep, and slept in the small room next door by herself.

The next day, Hua Manman slept until the sun was high before getting up.

Qinghuan waited for her to wash, and at the same time told the whole story of what happened last night.

To be honest, listening to Qinghuan tell stories is really a test of patience.

When she finally finished talking, Hua Manman couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

It's over.

Hua Manman praised: "You did a good job."

Qinghuan couldn't help asking herself to justify.

"Your maidservant...no...swallowing...spitting, my maidservant just...speaking...slowly...that's all."

Hua Manman comforted her with a gentle voice: "Yes, that's right, you just spoke slowly, you did nothing wrong, it's them who treat the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Seeing that the concubine still understood her very well, Qinghuan suddenly became happy again.

After breakfast, Hua Manman sat on the porch basking in the sun.

When she was so dazed and almost fell asleep, Li Ying came.

He stood beside her, blocking most of the sunlight.

Hua Manman opened her eyes, and after seeing clearly that it was him, most of her sleepiness was relieved.

With Qinghuan's support, she stood up.

"King Wuzhang is here."

Li Ying had obviously just come down to court, and he was still wearing the crown robe that represented the status of a prince.

He said, "I made an appointment with you last night, and I want to show you around."

Hua Manman smiled and said, "Thank you for keeping this little thing in mind, shall we leave now?"

Li Ying said seriously: "I can remember everything you said."

Hua Manman shook her head: "My lord doesn't have to be like this."

The two left Chaoyang Palace and walked towards the Imperial Garden.

Li Ying, who had been admiring the flowers and plants, asked proactively.

"Shall I ask someone to transplant some flowers and plants into Chaoyang Palace? Then you can see these beautiful flowers and plants as soon as you open the window."

Hua Manman waved his hand to say no: "I won't live here forever, so there's no need to waste such effort."

Li Ying pursed her lips, feeling very disappointed.

She reminded him all the time that she didn't belong to him and that she might leave at any time.

Hua Manman noticed that there was a court lady picking petals in front of her.

Seeing that the maid's figure looked familiar, she couldn't help but take a second look.

After seeing the maid's appearance clearly, she remembered that the maid was Mu Qing, who was the one who rescued her from the ancient well.

Hua Manman remembered that Mu Qing was on duty in Hanzhang Palace, why did she suddenly appear here?

Mu Qing obviously also noticed someone approaching.

She stopped, bowed her head, and saluted respectfully.

"The servants pay homage to His Royal Highness King Wu Zhang and His Royal Highness Princess Zhao."

Hua Manman really wanted to ask her why she was here, but because Li Ying was still by her side, she was afraid of being seen, so she had to keep her mouth shut and act as if she didn't know him.

Li Ying didn't care about such an ordinary court lady, she walked straight past her without even looking at her.

Huamanman is one step behind.

When she passed by Mu Qing, she suddenly stopped, her eyes fell on the bamboo basket in Mu Qing's hand, and she asked curiously.

"What are you doing picking these petals?"

Mu Qing replied humbly: "As for the princess, this is used to make scented tea."

Hua Manman reached out and pinched a petal, put it in front of her nose and smelled it.

"It's quite fragrant."

Li Ying: "If you like it, then take this basket of petals back and play."

Hua Manman hesitated and said, "This is the raw material used by others to make scented tea, so it wouldn't be good for me to just take it away?"

Mu Qing: "It is their blessing that these petals are loved by the princess. Please accept these petals."

Hua Manman smiled: "Then I will be disrespectful."

She glanced at Qinghuan who was following behind her.

Qinghuan stepped forward to take the bamboo basket.

The imperial garden is huge, and with Hua Manman's current physical strength, it is impossible to visit it all at once.

She was tired from shopping and proposed to go back and have a rest.

Li Ying personally sent her back to Chaoyang Palace, and stayed here to have lunch with Hua Manman.

In the afternoon, Li Ying still had something to do, so she left first.

As soon as he left the Chaoyang Palace, the sun in the sky disappeared, and the dark clouds became more and more numerous.

Not long after Li Ying walked out, he suddenly heard shouts from behind.

"My lord, please stay!"

Li Ying stopped, turned around, and saw Qinghuan running over with an umbrella.

She handed the oil-paper umbrella to Li Ying and explained.

"The concubine said...wait a minute...maybe...it will rain, let this servant...bring you...an umbrella."

Li Ying looked at the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

With his current status, even if it really rains, some people will bring him umbrellas.

He doesn't need such an umbrella at all.

But he would still be happy with such an umbrella.

Li Ying: "Speak to the princess on behalf of the king, thank her for her concern."

Yes, that's caring.

It was a care he had hardly experienced in his life.

After Qinghuan left, Liang Yong stepped forward and asked respectfully, "May the servant help you hold this umbrella?"

Li Ying refused.

"No, I want to take it myself."

Liang Yong didn't understand, this was just an ordinary oil-paper umbrella, and it was not a precious treasure, why the prince seemed to have acquired a rare treasure, and he looked like he wanted to put it in his arms and hide it.

Qinghuan returned to Chaoyang Palace, and Princess Chaozhao was blessed.

"Your servant...has...followed your...instructions, and gave...the umbrella...to King Wuzhang, and King Wuzhang...asked this servant...to speak to you...on behalf of...him... thanks."

Hua Manman was pulling the petals in the bamboo basket, and he responded casually when he heard the words.

"Um."

Qinghuan walked over and asked curiously: "What are you... looking for...?"

Hua Manman: "I want to see if there is anything hidden in this basket? Help me find it together."

In fact, it wasn't because she fell in love with the basket of petals just now, but because when she passed by Mu Qing, Mu Qing quickly raised her head to look at her, and that look obviously wanted to say something to her.

But in that case, it was impossible for them to talk directly.

Just in time, she saw Mu Qing holding the bamboo basket in another hand, so she guessed that there might be something in the basket.

So she pretended to be interested in the petals and asked for the basket of petals.

There were too many petals in the basket, Hua Manman simply put the bamboo basket upside down on the table, and all the petals inside poured out.

She and Qinghuan rummaged carefully with their eyes wide open, and finally found a small ball of paper inside.
