The Favored Concubine: The Doting Prince

Since the visit of the Seventh Prince, Gu Fanqiu has completely relaxed. It seems that Yuan Ye’s verbal promise is still very effective.

Apart from practicing dancing for a few hours every day, Gu Fanyue returned to his lazy life of eating and sleeping.

On this day, Fan Qiu and Fan Yue were sitting in the yard. The little girl was applying thick flower juice on their fingernails and then wrapping them with leaves to dye their nails. Although there were not many colors, they looked very natural and beautiful.

The stinky fox licked it greedily, leaving its mouth red and pink, which made Fan Qiu burst into laughter. The stinky fox took the opportunity to crawl into Fan Qiu's arms with a sly look on his face. Fan Qiu also kept praising it for being cute.

Fan Yue really didn’t understand. This stinky fox looked like it was vomiting blood and dying. How could it be cute?

Just as Fan Yue picked up the fox from Fan Qiu, he saw the housekeeper walking towards him in a hurry.

The housekeeper whispered a few words in Fanqiu's ear, and Gu Fanqiu immediately became serious. He hurriedly stood up and left with the housekeeper, leaving Gu Fanyue full of confusion and worry.

After a while, Gu Fanqiu came back with a smile on his face, and even looked excited.

"Sister, I have good news!" Fan Qiu shouted before she even got close.

"The Imperial Concubine has just got a rare flower, it's very beautiful, but she doesn't know how to take care of it, so she asked me to help. She also specifically told me to bring you along." As soon as Gu Fanqiu sat back in his chair, he grabbed Gu Fanyue's hands, which were tied with leaves, and read out the news.

"That sister was so serious just now. I was worried for a long time."

"At that time, I just heard someone coming to the palace. I didn't know what it was about, so I was naturally nervous."

Enter the palace?! Enter the palace now? Gu Fanyue grasped the key point. He could enter without dancing. Ah, then why did I attend the palace banquet?

Gu Fanqiu looked at Fan Yue's expression, which changed from happy to slightly angry to disappointed, and he had no idea what was going on in this girl's head.

"Fanyue, don't worry. The imperial concubine is a very gentle person with a good temper. Like me, she likes to grow flowers and grass." Gu Fanqiu thought that Gu Fanyue was worried about entering the palace and wanted to comfort her.

Gu Fanyue looked up at Gu Fanqiu and followed Gu Fanqiu's words and said, "That's right, with my sister here, I have nothing to worry about. My sister's skill in tending flowers and plants is well-known in the capital." The stinky fox thought to himself, you are the same, you try to please others whenever you have the chance. Humph!

"In fact, when Yue'er was little, she was even better than her sister. She was more familiar with flowers and plants, but later..."

Gu Fanyue heard from Gu Fanqiu that there was a flower that Fanqiu thought could not be kept alive, but Fanyue took good care of it for a few days and the flower actually came back to life. The real Gu Fanyue should be a quiet little girl who likes to grow flowers and grass by herself.

Seeing that Fan Yue seemed to be thinking about something, Fan Qiu touched her head and said, "Sister also likes the lively and cheerful you are now."

In fact, Wang Yueran is not particularly lively and cheerful, I just think this likable character is easy to liven up.

"The imperial concubine is quite anxious, and we don't have much time to choose clothes. Alas~" Fan Qiu continued with a look of disappointment.

I thank the Imperial Concubine, Gu Fanyue thought.

He got up very early on the day of entering the palace. Fanqiu was not in a hurry about the palace etiquette, as Fanyue had practiced it many times for the palace banquet.

Fan Yue was drowsy all the way and finally entered the palace.

This place is very different from the scenic spots and historical sites Wang Yueran has visited. It is more like a huge garden, extremely beautiful and unique.

It lacks the majesty of an imperial palace. Rather, it resembles the Nine Heavens in a TV series. Gu Fanyue thought, this is indeed a country with monsters.

But after entering the palace, Gu Fanyue found that he had no chance to find monsters at all. As soon as he entered the palace, a palace servant led him all the way to Luoying Pavilion, the garden where the imperial concubine lived. At most, he could just look at the flowers and scenery along the way.

In comparison, the Luoying Pavilion where the imperial concubine lived seemed much more normal and simple. There were not so many exotic colors, and not all the flowers were so full, as if they were fake.

Everything was very natural, as if returning to earth from heaven.

The imperial concubine was indeed a gentle woman. She didn't have a stunning appearance, nor did she have a condescending demeanor, which made Fan Yue feel a little relieved.

The new flower that Guifei had bought was indeed very beautiful, and even Gu Fanyue couldn't help but take a few more glances. But it looked very delicate, with the small leaves hanging on the branches, and it felt like they would fall off if the wind blew.

Gu Fanqiu and Guifei were chatting happily, from methods of cultivating the soil to watering, to when to apply fertilizer to extend the flowering period. Fanyue couldn't get a word in, but she had to make herself look like she was listening to their conversation very seriously.

The imperial concubine looked at the little girl sitting next to her sister. She was very cute and pretty, but her fingers kept drawing circles on her skirt.

"Yue'er, don't you think growing flowers is fun?"

When Gu Fanyue heard someone calling her name, she was stunned at first, then she looked up and saw the imperial concubine's smiling face.

"No, it's just that Yue'er is stupid and doesn't quite understand."

"Yue'er just doesn't like it, she's not stupid. Go ahead, there are lots of flowers and swings in the yard, go play with them, there's no need to sit here."

After hearing these words, the image of the imperial concubine suddenly became taller in Gu Fanyue's heart. How could she be so considerate?

After getting his sister's consent, Gu Fanyue almost ran out.

In fact, Gu Fanyue knew in her heart that the imperial concubine must have something to say to her sister.

In fact, there is no shortage of professional gardeners and flower spirits in the palace, but there must be a reason to meet them. Gu Fanqiu loves flowers and plants very much, so this excuse is a good one.

Gu Fanyue ran to the garden with great joy, sat on the swing and observed carefully, thinking that she might at least see a flower spirit. Just as she was trying to carefully identify whether the huge butterfly was a real butterfly or a flower spirit, she saw a figure approaching.

The butterfly flew away. The black boots with red patterns looked familiar, and Gu Fanyue looked up and saw the Seventh Prince Yuanye.

Gu Fanyue first thought, why is he here?

Oh, to him, he is the son of a noble concubine.

Well, but I feel like I should do something.

When she realized this, she wanted to jump off the swing and salute him, but Yuan Ye just waved his hand to exempt her from the salute.

The weather was good today so Yuan Ye wanted to come and see his mother. As soon as he entered the palace gate, he heard that the imperial concubine had guests, so he left. Later he learned that they were the two sisters of the Gu family, so he turned back. His coming and going made the palace servant who led the way at a loss.

Yuan Ye walked in without notifying anyone. As soon as he entered the garden, he saw the thin and weak person sitting on the swing, her pink skirt fluttering in the wind.

At this moment, she was holding the swing rope with one hand, keeping her body firmly on the swing, but her upper body was leaning out as if she was looking at something. Her posture was both strenuous and ugly. Yuan Ye really didn't know why she didn't stand up and walk over to take a look. What a strange girl.

"What are you looking for?" Yuan Ye asked.

"It is said that there are flower spirits taking care of flowers and plants in the palace. I am wondering if I can find them." Gu Fanyue said with a sly smile on her face.

"There's no one here, I can take you to see him." Seeing the girl smiling, Yuan Ye blurted out this sentence without thinking.

Gu Fanyue was extremely happy in her heart. This prince was very sensible!

But she was also afraid that her sister would come out and not find her and would worry, so just as she was about to say she wanted to go and tell her sister, she found Yuan Ye striding away, so she could only hurriedly catch up.

The palace was so huge, full of exotic flowers and rocks, winding and winding. It was easy to get lost in this cluster of flowers or that cluster of flowers.

After walking for a long time, Yuan Ye led her to a more remote place. He did not speak to her along the way, and Gu Fanyue just followed behind him, watching the golden ball swaying left and right.

"Wait for me here, don't walk around." Yuan Ye certainly didn't realize that his tone sounded like he was coaxing a child.

Gu Fanyue was really tired from walking, so he sat on a big rock and nodded obediently.

Gu Fanyue now felt thirsty and tired. There was no one around and she didn't know where to get some water. At this moment, she smelled a strange sweet fragrance, like the scent of some fruit.

Gu Fanyue stood up and turned around a few times, squinting his eyes and sniffing to determine the direction. He found a fruit tree not far away.

The fruit looked like a peach, but was much larger than an ordinary peach and smelled very sweet. Gu Fanyue had already begun to imagine how tender and juicy it would be if he took a bite of it, but the fruit tree was very tall.

Gu Fanyue looked around carefully, and after making sure that there was no one around, she reached out her hand and jumped. Wang Yueran was annoyed. Gu Fanyue was too short. After trying several times, she only touched the edge of the fruit. The fruit fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and rolled away.

Gu Fanyue ran to pick the fruit, and just as he picked it up, he found a small path. The branches of the flower tree formed a small door, luring others in.

Gu Fanyue thought that this was the imperial palace and there wouldn't be any dangerous places. Moreover, this place was so desolate and there wouldn't be any palaces or anyone to run into, so she walked in with the fruit in her arms, adventurous.

After walking through the short path, there was an open space in front of us. It turned out to be a flower forest with light red flowers.

The red color is very beautiful, like the light red of the cassia flower, very beautiful, and the fragrance it emits is also very fresh and sweet.

Gu Fanyue kept looking up at the flowers blooming above her head, until she lowered her head and found a person lying quietly under a tree in the distance.
