After saying that, he turned around and left neatly, so fast that Gardenia could only see a back.

She stood there and blinked, holding a bite of candied fruit in her hand, a little inexplicable.

After pondering for a while, thinking that the younger brother might be busy with official business, he had to swallow this question regrettably, and walked to the table with the paper bag in his hand.

After a while, Lily of the Valley returned, still holding a dress in her hand, and was relieved to see her sitting there.

"The slave maid just found that there was a thread hanging in this dress, and I went to find my aunt, so I delayed a little time, but fortunately you didn't fall asleep in the bath."

Gardenia poured herself a cup of tea, and touched the tip of her nose with a little weakness when she heard the words, but she didn't say anything.

Seeing her like this, Lily of the Valley still didn't understand anything, so she looked at her own county lord helplessly, and then her eyes fell on the candied fruit in her hand and narrowed her eyes.

"Did Miss Nanqing come just now?"

The little girl shook her head defenselessly. "No, it was sent by General Xiao Huo."

Lily of the valley, who was hanging up her dress, made a pause, and her expression was a little subtle.

"You looked like this when the general came?"

Gardena looked down at herself and hesitated in response.

She didn't show anywhere, what is this, if she sees someone else, she will definitely wear another coat, but why is she so particular about seeing her little brother.

And it's not like she hasn't seen her little brother without clothes.

No, if it was someone else, she wouldn't let people into her room.

Thinking so, Gardena raised her chin proudly, she didn't know these things.

Lily of the valley on the side only felt that her smile was not a laugh.

Taking a few deep breaths, she suppressed the hatred in her heart, and only persuaded tactfully.

"County Lord, this is outside the palace, and there are many people, if it is found that a lonely man and a widow are in the same room, it will not be good for you and the reputation of the general, next time if you need to, you can just order the slave and maid to go over."

The little girl thought for a moment and nodded obediently.

Well, for the sake of the little brother's reputation, it's okay for her to pay attention.

After the renovation, everyone went down to the first floor to eat.

In addition to the inconvenience of His Majesty and the people of the harem, even the princesses and princes are all unified to eat here, and they are only divided into different areas.

When Gardenia came down, the people below were already sitting almost sitting, and when they saw Shen Nanqing sitting there, they walked over there without much thought.

At this time, only her and Shen Yang sat at this table.

Shen Nanqing was not in the capital before, and she was not familiar with the ladies of other families, and although Shen Yang had a few friends, she had just recovered from a serious illness, and everyone didn't want to be infected, so naturally she was far away.

Seeing the little girl coming, Shen Nanqing first bent her lips helplessly, and then sorted out a position for her.

"Why did you come down now, but you slept some?"

Gardenia answered her question while dealing with Shen Yang's salute, and anyone with a discerning eye could see which side she was closer to.

Feeling the gaze of the surroundings, Shen Yang lowered his eyes in humiliation, and his fingers stirred the handkerchief.

Seeing that the county lord of her family was sitting down, Lily of the Valley naturally didn't say a word to serve her for dinner, and she didn't say anything to let the little girl go to the royal side.

Sitting there, she still had to worry about whether the meal could be eaten smoothly, and sure enough, it was more reassuring to be next to Miss Nanqing.

As for Shen Yang, Lily of the Valley didn't pay attention to it at all.

If any young lady is jealous or dissatisfied with her, she must take it to heart, then with the reputation of the little county lord, she must not worry about death.

Gardenia took the chopsticks handed over by Lily of the Valley, and while talking to Shen Nanqing with her head sideways, she pulled the vegetables into her mouth, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

It's just that after a few bites, another person sat down next to him.

Lily of the valley bowed, and did not forget to secretly remind her county lord while saluting.
