On the windowsill, the bare branches from just a moment ago had already grown a few small leaves, and the leaves seemed to be glowing.
And that ginseng seedling which had been on the verge of death had not only regained its vitality, but most importantly, it had bloomed!
Duoduo skipped over to the two pots of plants.
Ah! You are really so obedient!
Come, drink some water!
Duoduo picked up a small watering can and watered the ginseng seedling and the unknown flower seedling.
Water flowed down along Duoduo's palm and dripped into the flower pots.
The plants in the pots kept swaying their leaves, waving at Duoduo.
Do you like it? Then drink a little more!
Seeing the tender green leaves, Duoduo was very happy.
Several maids who had placed the flower pots came back again.
Huh? Why have these grown leaves?
Lüluo was the first to notice the difference in the two pots of flowers on the windowsill.
Lüdou hurriedly walked over to take a look, and then she pushed Lüluo and the other maids outward.
Weren't you going to make clothes for the Princess? Go do it quickly, there are only a few days left before departure.
Then who will serve the Princess here?
Am I not here? Go on now.
Ever since Lüdou returned, she had taken charge of the other maids.
Therefore, as soon as she spoke, the other maids obediently went back.
Lüdou returned to the room; she guarded the door and did not go over.
She kept her head down, but in reality, her eyes were filled with the scene she had just witnessed.
This was not the first time she had seen such a sight.
In the past, whenever flowers in the courtyard were about to wither and die, as long as Duoduo sat there and watered them, those flowers would come back to life.
It was just that the speed back then was not as fast as it was now.
After Duoduo finished watering the flowers, she finally realized that all the maids in the room were gone.
Lüdou, where are the others?
To answer the Princess, this servant just told them to go back and make clothes for you.
Does the Princess have any orders? Just instruct this servant.
Lüdou bowed and answered respectfully.
Nothing much, just help me keep an eye on these two pots of flowers. No one is allowed to touch them!
Even watering is not allowed! I will water them myself!
Duoduo added an uneasy reminder.
Yes, this servant will warn them later!
However, Princess, since these two pots of flowers are so precious, how about we find another place to put them?
Duoduo tilted her head and thought for a moment.
Father said that nowhere is safer than keeping things right in front of your own eyes.
Anyway, I am leaving this room to you!
Lüdou knelt down, This servant will definitely guard them well. As long as I am here, they will be here!
Duoduo hurriedly waved her hand.
Get up quickly! It is not that serious!
It is not like you don't know, even if it gets worse, I can still save them!
Shh! Princess, please do not say such things in the future!
Frightened, Lüdou hurriedly waved her hands.
Duoduo pouted, not wanting to continue this topic.
Bring the things you brought back over here for me to see.
Yes.
Lüdou climbed up from the ground and turned to fetch them.
After a short while, she walked in carrying a small bundle.
After Lüdou opened it, Duoduo leaned over to take a look; there were only four or five plants.
Lüdou, take two plants to Master Zhang. I just promised him.
Just as Lüdou was about to leave, she was stopped by Duoduo.
Go find a few more flower pots, I want to plant them.
Lüdou was startled.
Princess, this is poisonous!
Duoduo shook her head, The Master just said it is not poisonous.
Don't worry about it, hurry and go!
Helpless, Lüdou had no choice but to take out two plants, wrap them in the cloth bundle, and leave.
Duoduo looked at the remaining plants on the ground and fell deep in thought.
She wanted to let her father try it out to see how the effects actually were.
But, how should she tell her father?
Also, she wondered if her father would be satisfied with the duration of one incense stick's burning time?
If her father wanted the time to be a bit longer, how could she extend it?
Lüdou quickly returned.
Lüdou, plant these few into the flower pots.
Also, give me the ones from just now, I will get some more water out.
Lüdou hurriedly waved her hands.
Princess, how about this servant pound the juice out first, and then plant them.
Please don't touch it. If you accidentally get it on yourself, you won't be able to move for a long time!
Duoduo thought for a moment and nodded.
Alright! Thanks for your hard work, be careful! I will go read a book for a while.
Okay.
Duoduo walked over to the desk and continued reading the medical records that Master Zhang had given her.
Lüdou pounded the plants into pieces, squeezed out the juice, and finally, she placed the silver needles that Duoduo had taken out into it.
After doing all this, she carefully buried the remaining plants into the flower pots.
Princess, where should I put these?
Duoduo looked up from the medical records, her eyes showing a moment of confusion.
Lüdou asked again.
Duoduo pointed at the windowsill, Put them together over there.
After saying that, Duoduo lowered her head again.
Lüdou knew that once Duoduo started studying, she would forget to eat and sleep.
Therefore, she nervously placed the flower pots on the windowsill.
Meanwhile, Yingniang finally woke up.
She opened her eyes and saw that there was unexpectedly no one left in the study.
Yingniang stood up, feeling a bit bewildered.
She had only taken a nap, how come everyone was gone?
Yingniang walked out of the study. She thought for a moment and decided to go find her mother.
She didn't know where Duoduo had gone, and the rules in the prince's manor were strict, so she couldn't run around everywhere.
Xu Jinxin saw her daughter walking in alone looking very downcast, and immediately laughed.
What's wrong? Did you get scolded by the master?
Yingniang didn't deny it; she walked over to Xu Jinxin's side and buried her head in her mother's embrace.
The Princess Consort of Pingyang and Xu Jinxin exchanged a glance; they could both tell that Yingniang was very unhappy.
Xu Jinxin lifted Yingniang onto her lap.
Come, tell mother about it.
Yingniang listlessly shook her head.
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Princess Consort of Pingyang.
She asked with some difficulty, Could it be... did Duoduo bully you?
Yingniang still shook her head.
Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Do you need to see a doctor? Xu Jinxin touched Yingniang's forehead with some concern.
Yingniang just reached out and hugged Xu Jinxin, not saying a word.
Seeing this, the Princess Consort of Pingyang shook her head at Xu Jinxin.
Then, she waved to Lianxin behind her and whispered an instruction.
Go and bring the Princess over.
To find out what happened to Yingniang, they could only call Duoduo over to ask.
Lianxin hurried away.
Upon finding out that Duoduo was in her room, Lianxin quickly walked to Duoduo's room.
Lüdou welcomed Lianxin into the room, Princess, Lianxin is here.
Lüdou called out a few times before Duoduo reluctantly put down the medical records in her hands.
Lianxin, does Mother have something to call me for?
Lianxin nodded.
Princess, the Princess Consort wants you to go over!
Duoduo hopped down from her chair, Lianxin, why is Mother looking for me?
Just now, Miss Li listlessly went to find Madam Li. No matter what Madam Li asked, she wouldn't speak.
The Princess Consort wants you to go over and see what's wrong with Miss Li.
Duoduo froze.
Oh no! I completely forgot about my sister in the study!
