Before Qiaoshan could think of how to answer Ning Dai, the old eunuch walking behind laughed.

When Ning Dai turned around, the old eunuch had already walked over, saluted her and said, "The princess is frank."

Then he turned to Qiaoshan and said, "This is the first time for the princess to enter the palace. Aunt Qiaoshan must take good care of her. The princess has a distinguished status, so the chairs brought must be laid with soft seats. Don't neglect her."

Although he was smiling when he spoke, not only Qiao Shan, but even Ning Dai could see the threat hidden under the smile.

But compared to Qiaoshan, Ning Dai did not take the threat seriously, and instead gave the old eunuch named Lu a friendly smile.

She could feel that the old eunuch was helping her.

Perhaps the old eunuch named Lu saw her intention?

After receiving Ning Dai's smile, the old eunuch smiled more seriously. He saluted again and said a few polite words before turning around and leaving Changning Palace.

With the old eunuch's words, Qiaoshan quickly ordered people to move the seats and placed them at the location designated by Ning Dai. The seats were also covered with comfortable cushions as the old eunuch said, and they were also brought in at the same time.

Got a small table.

Tea and cakes were placed on the table.

Qiaoshan stood beside him and waited: "Princess, the pastries are specially prepared by the small kitchen. Please try them, Princess."

Ning Dai said perfunctorily and did not move her hands.

She stared at the water tank. As she just said, there were actually two fish in the water tank, one red and one yellow. She didn't know that someone was watching them, so she swam slowly in the water.

.

Looking from Qiaoshan's perspective, one can only see Ning Dai's focused gaze, intently looking at the swimming fish.

For a moment, Qiao Shan didn't know what to think.

Qiao Shan knew the details of this woman who suddenly became Princess Jin Gong. He knew that her status was not low, but she was a fool.

I didn't know how stupid she was, but when I met her for the first time today, Qiao Shan saw that Ning Dai was silent and her expression was very normal, so she thought that the news outside was untrue.

But at this moment, looking at Ning Dai's behavior at this time, Qiao Shan knew that the news was not false.

She quietly sighed in her heart for Yuan Zhuo.

Although she has a clear mind, Concubine Chen is very happy to see Yuan Zhuo's marriage and his marrying such a stupid wife come to fruition.

After all, if Yuan Zhuo is not good, her son will have more hope.

Qiao Shan came back from his thoughts and looked at the people around him. Ning Dai still maintained her posture of focusing on watching the fish. As for the cakes and tea on the table next to her, she had not touched them at all.

"Princess." Qiao Shan called her in a soft voice: "But the pastry is not to the princess's taste? Whatever the princess likes to eat, just tell the slave, we can make it in our small kitchen."

Ning Dai took her attention away, looked back, smiled and said, "No, I don't know how to eat."

Qiao Shan was stunned.

Ning Dai put her hands on the edge of the jar, looked at her calmly, and continued: "I have been taught since I was a child that I should not just eat what others give me, because no one can guarantee that there is nothing wrong with what I eat."

Qiao Shan was speechless in shock.

I don't know whether I should say that Ning Dai is really frank and unabashed, or whether I should say that she is just pretending to be stupid and deliberately being merciless.

Looking at her face again, Qiaoshan leaned toward the latter, but she didn't want to admit that it was the latter.

Because he was so confused, Qiaoshan didn't utter a single word for a long time.

After Ning Dai looked at her for a while, she lost interest and turned back to looking at the fish.

The courtyard fell into a deserted silence, but it wasn't really deserted. At least Ning Dai knew that there were many people hiding in the corner and slacking off on her.

Ning Dai didn't care at all about being peeked at. She was carefully listening with her ears raised to see if there would be any bad sounds coming from the palace. If there was any, she would rush in as soon as possible.

However, the hall was as quiet as outside until a long time later, Yuan Zhuo's clear coughing sound could be heard.

Ning Dai turned around immediately and saw that Yuan Zhuo had already come out of the hall, followed by a little Huangmen who was watching out for him.

As soon as Yuan Zhuo came out, he saw Ning Dai. Seeing that she hadn't gone far, he couldn't help but smile and walked towards her.

Ning Dai stood up and went to greet him, looking him up and down to make sure he was fine.

"Have you gone back?" Ning Dai asked him.

Yuan Zhuo shook his head and said that he wanted to see his imperial brother.

The Prince's Palace where Ninth Prince Yuan Jia lives is some distance away from Changning Palace, so Xiao Huang Mao accompanied Yuan Zhuo there.

When Ning Dai heard this, she had no choice but to follow.

Yuan Zhuo thought for a while and agreed.

Qiao Shan, who was accompanying Ning Dai, also went with her.

On the way there, Yuan Zhuo asked, "Why don't you go to the Imperial Garden?"

Ning Dai said in a disgusting tone: "Is it rare?"

Yuan Zhuo smiled and said in a particularly doting tone: "Well, it's not unusual."

Ning Dai curled her lips.

Qiaoshan, who was following them, glanced at the two people talking in front of him with a confused expression, and followed silently.

Finally, we arrived at the Ninth Prince's residence. Because the Ninth Prince was not awake yet, the atmosphere inside and outside the residence seemed very depressing. The maids on duty, Xiao Huangmen, all had frowns on their faces. In addition, there was an unstoppable smell of medicine.

Someone saw Yuan Zhuo's arrival and quickly stopped what they were busy doing and saluted him.

With the first one, there will soon be the second one, the third one...

It seems that many people here recognize him.

When he was approaching the entrance of the palace, Yuan Zhuo turned to Ning Dai: "Why don't you stay outside later? I'll go in and take a look."

Ning Dai asked him back: "Is there a rule that I can't follow you in to take a look?"

Yuan Zhuo said nothing.

Don't get me wrong, she didn't have to follow him, it's just that I didn't see it. She was just curious and didn't know what her son looked like or whether he looked similar to the sick Xishi in front of her.

The concubine can use the curtain to block it tightly, the prince can't block it tightly, can he?

As for Ning Dai's little thoughts, Yuan Zhuo really figured it out clearly.

After looking at her twice, Yuan Zhuo agreed to go in with her.

Now besides Yuan Zhuo, there is no other person here who has the right to say anything. Naturally, those palace maids and Xiao Huangmen did not dare to stop it, and could not stop it. Ning Dai finally went in to see the person as she wished.

Her curiosity was finally answered.

"Wow, you two are indeed two brothers, you are so close." After seeing the person, Ning Dai immediately stood next to Yuan Zhuo to express her opinion.

Look at those closed eyebrows. Although we can't say they are exactly alike, there is definitely a certain amount of similarity between them.

And to be fair, Ning Dai inevitably thought of another person.

Before her brain could bring up another face, her hand hanging by her side was suddenly wrapped in a soft warmth.

Ning Dai lowered her eyes and saw that it was Yuan Zhuo holding her hand.

She looked up and met his penetrating eyes.
