Shen Xihe had a complicated expression after hearing this. In her impression, Gu Qingshu was a smart and pretty girl.
Xiao Huayong did not treat her as an outsider, which was why he so casually expressed his judgment of Gu Qingshu in front of her. It was not that he wanted to talk about her behind her back, but he was worried that as they were both girls, if they had any interactions in the future, he would not be able to see Gu Qingshu's true face.
It was because he had said that Gu Qingzhi had given him a second life, so he was worried that she would be lenient towards Gu Qingshu because of this.
"Your Highness, are your eyesight better now?" Shen Xihe asked with concern.
Xiao Huayong smiled slowly: "You can still see some bright colors occasionally, but not for long. Ah Xi said we can't rush it."
"I looked through some ancient books and found some medicinal foods that can improve eyesight. I made them for Your Highness to try today." Shen Xihe stood up and went to the dining room. She was already very familiar with the dining room of the East Palace.
Medicinal food must be consumed for a long time to have some effect. Shen Xihe specifically asked Zhenzhu and Sui Axi to make sure there was no incompatibility before making it for Xiao Huayong. She also carefully handed it to Jiuzhang, and only now knew that Xiao Huayong had four generals under his command.
The eunuch who follows Tian Yuan by his side and is responsible for his daily life and food is also the first eunuch of the Eastern Palace - Jiuzhang. The eunuch who is in charge of local intelligence is Tian Yuan's younger brother from the same mother. He is in charge of his underground forces and the laws for rewarding and punishing his subordinates.
The sky is round and the earth is square, and there are nine chapters of laws and decrees. This is a Taoist verse. I am worthy of growing up in a Taoist temple.
She also had dinner in the East Palace before leaving. She returned to the mansion and wrote a letter to her brother before going to bed.
The Shangsi Festival on March 3 has passed. Due to the fraud case, the people did not celebrate this year's Shangsi Festival in a big way. However, in the season when peach blossoms bloom, girls wearing veils or girls in men's clothes and boys are playing together everywhere.
Apricot gardens on both sides of Qujiang were in full bloom, and people were coming and going in an endless stream. Shen Xihe was sitting in a carriage and seeing such a grand scene, which was in no way inferior to the Shangsi Festival.
Just then, an orchid with a small white flower poked its head out from the edge of the carriage, startling Shen Xihe for a moment. Then, Xiao Huayong's handsome face magnified: "It is customary to give orchids to the girls you like during the Shangsi Festival. I regret not inviting Youyou to the stepping feast this year. I will give you an orchid today to make up for it."
Shen Xihe looked at the orchid grass and reached out to take it, but Xiao Huayong took the opportunity to take advantage of it. When he let go, his fingertips brushed across the back of her hand, causing Shen Xihe to glare at him.
Even though she was willing to follow her heart and not resist him, she didn't like him being so frivolous all the time, but he didn't change even after she told him.
Xiao Huayong didn't know why, but he just liked to see her glaring at him. He didn't even know how cute she looked when she was angry.
The thick-skinned and thick-fleshed Crown Prince not only did not restrain himself, but his face became more and more smiling. Shen Xihe pulled down the curtain and sat up straight. He lowered his head to look at the orchid at hand and threw it on the table beside him.
"Meow!" When the short-lived cat saw its owner throwing a flower, it immediately pounced on it. Before it opened its mouth to grab the flower, Shen Xihe snatched it away. It turned its head and looked at Shen Xihe with its round eyes, as if full of confusion.
Shen Xihe picked it up by the neck, threw it into Zhenzhu's arms, and then put the orchid on himself.
Seeing this, Hongyu winked at Zhenzhu, and Zhenzhu glared at her. Hongyu didn't know when she had been deceived by the Crown Prince, and she wished that the princess would marry into the Eastern Palace immediately so that she could see the princess and the Crown Prince living in harmony every day.
