Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. This little girl was quite spicy!

Gu Ruoruo successfully stopped them, but the Empress suddenly appeared from another direction and walked straight to the room. Seeing that they were about to push the door open, Gu Ruoruo rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush over without a care. At this moment, she heard a very familiar voice.

“Ruoruo, where are you going?”

Gu Ruoruo stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the person in disbelief.

“Xiaoxiao?”

She looked in the direction of the room in confusion. “I couldn’t wait for you to cjust now. I was worried that something would happen, so I cout to look for you. In the end, as soon as I walked out, these people followed closely. There’s clearly something wrong.”

“What happened after you left with them?”

Xiaoxiao picked the parts that she could say. “I felt dizzy as I was walking just now and felt that something was wrong. After the nanny broughtto the room, I slipped out first.”

Gu Ruoruo felt like she had survived a calamity. She gave Xiaoxiao a thumbs up. “Fortunately, you’re smart. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened. No wonder Great-Grandpa never liked to participate in these social events and didn’t agree with us juniors interacting too much with those silk pants.”

Just as Xiaoxiao was about to ask, “Then why are you here today?”, she already had a clear answer—for her.

It was because they were worried that their granddaughter, niece cum friend, who was unfamiliar with the place, would do their best to protect and help her.

She hooked her arm around Gu Ruoruo’s shoulder. “You like that pot of orchids very much, right?”

“You can have it!”

Without waiting for her to reject, Xiaoxiao continued, “I have many, many more.”

Seeing that she was still very embarrassed, Xiaoxiao decided to use her trump card. “I planted it to decorate the dishes.”

At this moment, Gu Ruoruo seemed to have engraved these words on her face—

What! A! Waste!

“Alright!”

As the two of them spoke, the Empress had already said the prepared lines outside the room.

“Didn’t I say that the Crown Prince is resting in this room and can’t be disturbed by others?”

Coincidentally, as soon as she finished speaking, an unbearable hum cfrom the room.

The Empress took the opportunity to push open the door and rush in. Xiao Ning had been drugged, but the Crown Prince was awake, so if someone was to lose face, it could only be Xiao Ning, who had “intruded the Crown Prince’s place without permission”.

The servants agilely opened the window and the door. The couple also revealed their true appearance.

All the lines that the Empress had prepared in advance were stuck in her throat because of Zuo Xiangling’s seductive face.

Why was it her?

Zuo Qingyan’s composure was clearly far inferior to the Empress’s. After realizing that the person hugging the Crown Prince tightly was her half sister, she could not hold back her anger at all. She went forward and slapped her fiercely.

This slap made the delirious Zuo Xiangling regain sconsciousness. However, after realizing the current situation in a daze, all she could do was cling to the Crown Prince even more tightly.

Since the plan had failed, the Empress naturally wouldn’t deliberately publicize it. She ordered someone to take Zuo Xiangling away in a low profile manner. After intimidating the noble ladies present, they returned to the place where they had been admiring the flowers.

Seeing Xiaoxiao and Gu Ruoruo sitting together and chatting, Zuo Qingyan could not control the anger in her voice. “Why is the princess here?”

Xiaoxiao looked up at her. “That’s strange. Miss Zuo, are you questioning me?”

Realizing that she had lost her composure, Zuo Qingyan quickly forced herself to adjust her emotions. “Qingyan means that the servants can’t find the princess anywhere. We’re so anxious.”

Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hand. “I suddenly wanted to relieve myself just now, but the servants were all gone. I had no choice but to look for the place myself. I only remembered the way back after I was done.”

“Why,” she asked, “is there a problem?”

Zuo Qingyan could only grit her teeth and continue with the flower appreciation banquet.

The nanny said that the person who was with Xiao Ning in the end was Zuo Xiangling, so she was not sure if her plan had gone wrong or if her half-sister by his father’s concubine had other thoughts and was deliberately causing trouble.

The medicinal effects had not passed, and now was not the best tto ask. She could only wait for the flower appreciation banquet before investigating. However, she would definitely embarrass Xiao Ning at this banquet!

The matter of her marrying the Crown Prince was already set in stone, but Xiao Ning appeared out of nowhere and almost made Zuo Qingyan a laughingstock in the Imperial Capital. Even if the Third Prince proposed to His Majesty, the Empress still wanted Xiao Ning to be his concubine.

Who wouldn’t be disgusted by this?

However, she even had to be magnanimous and sensible. As a result, a concubine’s daughter even dared to have ill intentions towards her!

Although everyone knew that the main purpose of the flower appreciation banquet was not to admire the flowers, they still had to go through the process. However—

“Let’s change the gameplay today. Everyone will lift the cover on the flower pot at the stand choose together. How about that?”

This way, even if Xiao Ning knew that she was going to lose face, she could not retreat!

Little did she know that the food here was not delicious at all, just as Xiaoxiao wanted. Moreover, there was Little Big Brother who was on the verge of getting angry in the space. She had to leave early.

The women naturally complied. When the servants received the instructions, they went forward and lifted the covers one by one. Coincidentally, Xiaoxiao’s was placed last.

Zuo Qingyan did this to embarrass Xiaoxiao, but why was she so calm from the beginning to the end?

It was impossible for her to really have something good, right?

Then, she quickly shook off this thought. It was already good enough for a wild girl from the countryside to be able to differentiate between flowers and plants. Where could she get a precious species from?

The covers were lifted one by one. The various famous flowers were overwhelming. Apart from being smug, the girls were also looking forward to seeing what Xiao Ning had brought.

Someone whispered to each other, “She won’t bring a pot of vegetables, right?”

Needless to say, this was not impossible. After all, they had heard that she liked to farm when she was in the countryside.

With the mood of watching a joke, everyone focused their gazes on the last two pots of flowers. The first thing that appeared in front of everyone was a pot of orchids brought by Gu Ruoruo.

It was understandable that Gu Ruoruo, who was born in the Gu Family, would bring orchids.

The Gu Family was not a rich family. Their only love was their upright style, so this pot of orchids was not very expensive.

The girls quickly shifted their expectant gazes to the last pot—it was brought by Xiaoxiao.

The mockery on their faces turned into shock when they saw its true appearance—

“This is the Spring Sword Royal Orchid?”

How was that possible? She was just a farm girl. She might not even be able to distinguish between flowers and plants. How could she have an orchid of such quality?

Could it be from the Gu Family?

Gu Ruoruo glared back. “Do I look like I can take this out?”

That made sense…

Gu Ruoruo was a little unhappy after saying that, so she added, “But Xiaoxiao has already agreed to givea pot. Hmph.”

Although it was childish to show off like this, she felt great!

Many people revealed envious expressions, but there were also many who were stubborn. “Do you know how rare the Spring Sword Royal Orchid is? One stalk is already priceless. Are you giving it away just like that?”

Gu Ruoruo was a little hesitant. So it was so expensive?

How about she forget about it?

But if she didn’t want it, Xiao Ning might really use the flowers as a garnish for the dishes…
