After exchanging marriage with my elder sister, I won with a bad hand.

Coincidentally, some careless gardener dropped his shovel under the tree.

Shen Yihuan's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that it was indeed God's will. He quickly squatted down, picked up a small shovel and started digging.

"Liang Di, what are you doing?"

"Stop making noise, help me dig out this tea tree."

"Isn't this too obvious?"

"If one plant is missing, it won't be noticed."

Cuicui was speechless. Looking at the scattered eighteen scholars, she felt that her master was deceiving herself.

When the two men were digging hard, a loud shout suddenly came from above.

"Stop it, who are you to steal flowers here?"

The two thieves were already nervous, and after hearing the loud shout, they were so frightened that they dropped the tools in their hands.

Shen Yihuan quickly came to her senses and stood up preemptively: "Who are you to be so presumptuous in front of this concubine?"

As she spoke, she looked the person up and down. She was wearing gorgeous clothes, so she ruled out the possibility that she was a palace servant.

He has an extraordinary appearance, and his eyes and eyebrows actually look a bit like Zhao Xun.

Seeing that his age was about the same as Zhao Xun, she guessed that he must be a prince.

The man looked her over for a few seconds before he said slowly, "Are you Xun'er's concubine?"

Xun'er?

Shen Yihuan frowned, this address seemed a little wrong. She looked the man up and down again and suddenly thought of someone.

"You are the Prince of Chenliu, the youngest brother of the current emperor?"

Prince Chenliu was a little surprised that the other party had guessed his identity before he even opened his mouth.

It seems that the woman in front of me is a smart one.

He nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to have some knowledge."

"Greetings, Prince Chenliu." Shen Yihuan hurriedly saluted.

When Cuicui saw this, she also hurriedly followed suit and bowed.

"Why did you steal the flowers?"

Shen Yihuan didn't expect Prince Chenliu to speak so directly, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

She tapped her toes subconsciously, but said calmly, "Your Highness, you are wrong. We were not stealing flowers just now, we were planting them."

Cui Cui, who was just feeling very nervous, looked up at her in surprise after hearing what her master said.

Shen Yihuan was speechless. Her face showed disbelief. Didn't that mean she was telling everyone that she lied?

Thinking of this, she calmly poked Cuicui, asking her to cheer up.

Prince Chenliu noticed her little action, and then looking at the shameless expression of the prince's concubine who refused to admit it, he immediately felt that the woman in front of him was quite interesting.

He also pretended to be fooled, nodded and said: "So you are planting flowers, then I misunderstood you."

"Yes, it was a misunderstanding. How could I, the prince's concubine, be a flower thief?"

Prince Chenliu took a look at the camellia in her hand. The whole tree had been dug out, and there was still a little mud on the roots.

Shen Yihuan also noticed his look and said quickly: "Oh, when I passed by the Eighteen Scholars just now, I felt that the soil here was not suitable for planting the Eighteen Scholars, so I dug it out and planned to move to a suitable place."

What she said was true. It was a mistake to plant these eighteen scholars here. If her prediction was correct, these precious tea trees would die within half a year.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Prince Chenliu naturally didn't believe it. His first feeling was that the cunning woman in front of him was lying and trying to fool him.

However, Shen Yihuan's subsequent remarks greatly changed his mind.

Because what Shen Yihuan said gave people the impression that he was very professional in the field of flower planting. From the analysis of climate, soil, and habits, he also said that the Eighteen Scholars is a delicate flower. Why is it difficult to survive? That is because the growing conditions are harsh. Many people are not aware of this and just plant them randomly, so very few can survive.

When it comes to growing flowers, Shen Yihuan talks eloquently and his knowledge is so broad that it would take three days and three nights to talk about it.

While Shen Yihuan was speaking, Prince Chenliu had been staring at her silently. As he watched, a hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes.

Regardless of whether what was said was true or false, he admired the eloquence alone.

Prince Chenliu showed a gentle smile on his face, looked at Shen Yihuan and said: "This prince has always loved planting flowers, but nothing he planted could survive. Today I am so lucky to meet you, Master."

Shen Yihuan also became interested when he heard this and asked, "Prince, do you like to grow flowers too?"

Prince Chenliu nodded, glanced at the calm Shen Yihuan, and suddenly said, "If you don't mind, could you teach me some techniques for growing flowers?"

"This..." Shen Yihuan was a little hesitant, because her current identity was the prince's concubine, and it would be inappropriate to be too intimate with other men.

Prince Chenliu also thought of this, and a trace of loss flashed across his eyes.

"If it's inconvenient, forget it."

"No." Shen Yihuan thought for a moment and said, "It's not difficult to teach the prince to grow flowers. It's just that the Chenliu Palace is outside the palace, which is a bit inconvenient."

It's impossible for her, a concubine of the crown prince, to go in and out of the Chenliu Palace every day. That's ridiculous!

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Prince Chenliu smiled.

"I thought you were worried about something, but this is not a problem at all."

In Shen Yihuan's confusion, he continued: "My brother said that I can do whatever I want with the flowers and plants in this imperial garden, so if Liang Di doesn't mind, you can come to the imperial garden every day to teach me how to grow flowers."

Shen Yihuan was a little surprised to hear this, and was actually a little moved.

You should know that there are countless types of flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden.

When Prince Chenliu saw that she looked interested, he immediately prescribed drastic measures.

"As a reward, I am willing to give those Eighteen Scholars to Liang Di."

Eighteen Bachelors gave it to her!

Shen Yihuan was startled and his heart sank.

"What do you think, Lady Liang?"

"Okay, I will accept you as my apprentice."

Shen Yihuan was so happy that he blurted out the words "accepting a disciple".

When Prince Chenliu heard this, he was stunned at first, then he was delighted. Before she changed her mind, he quickly called her Master.

"Master, please take good care of me in the future."

Uh... Shen Yihuan opened his mouth, but the words he wanted to change were choked in his mouth, and finally he nodded.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Shen Yihuan, and I'm the eldest princess and the second daughter of the prime minister."

"So she's still my little niece."

"Ok?"

"Master."

"Okay then, starting from tomorrow, you will come to the Imperial Garden to wait for your teacher. As for the time, let's set it at noon. Is that a problem?" She originally wanted to say morning, but then she thought that Prince Chenliu had to attend the morning court and would definitely not have time in the morning, so she set the time at noon.

Fortunately, summer has passed and it is autumn now, so the midday sun is not too strong.

The Prince of Chenliu replied: "No."
