Jiang Jilian's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Jiang Lili to guess this. He hurriedly covered up and said, "Lili, you misunderstood. I do have some things to deal with, but I have already asked my servants to take care of the medicinal materials. Don't worry, they will be delivered soon."

Jiang Lili looked at her father's eyes and couldn't help but feel a little shaken. Her father was always serious and not good at expressing his emotions, but his concern for her was genuine.

"Okay, father, I believe you. But I really want to recover soon so that I can help you share some of the affairs in the mansion." Jiang Lili's voice was filled with a hint of anticipation.

Jiang Jilian felt warm in his heart, and he gently patted Jiang Lili's hand and said softly, "Lili, don't worry, father will handle everything as soon as possible. As long as you rest assured and recover soon, it will be the greatest help to father."

Jiang Lili's condition was sometimes better and sometimes worse, and she could always feel her father secretly observing her, his eyes full of concern. Jiang Jilian was busy all day and rarely went home.

Jiang Lili was lying in her warm room. The sun was shining brightly outside the window, but it could not dispel the gloom in her heart.

My father was worried, and I seemed to have become an unspeakable burden to him.

On this day, Jiang Lili felt that her health had improved a little, so she struggled to sit up. She looked out the window and couldn't help but think of her mother, Lu Yundi, the gentle and virtuous lady. Her departure brought an irreparable gap to the family. Jiang Lili took a deep breath and decided to walk in the garden and find a chance to talk to her father.

"Father, you are there." As soon as Jiang Lili walked into the garden, she saw Jiang Jilian standing alone under an ancient plum tree, seemingly thinking about something.

Jiang Jilian came to his senses immediately after hearing the voice, turned around and saw his daughter, with a complex expression in his eyes. He walked forward, gently patted Jiang Lili's shoulder, and said softly, "Lili, you are out now, are you feeling well?"

"Father, I'm much better now. I want to talk to you about medicinal herbs." Jiang Lili looked at Jiang Jilian with a firm look in her eyes.

At this time, Jiang Ren came to report: "My Lord, the young lady's medicinal materials have arrived."

Jiang Jilian was slightly stunned, then he smiled with satisfaction. He looked at Jiang Lili, his eyes full of gratitude and satisfaction.

"Li Li, don't worry, the herbs have arrived. I will have someone boil them for you immediately." Jiang Ji Lian said softly, his eyes full of care.

Jiang Lili smiled slightly. Her father had been worrying about her all the time, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She looked at Jiang Jilian and said softly, "Father, I know you have been worrying about me all the time, and I want to share some of your worries. Regarding the matter of medicinal herbs, I want to know, are these medicinal herbs really as precious as you said?"

Jiang Jilian paused slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Lili was a smart child, and it would be hard to deceive her about what he wanted to hide. But he didn't want to make Jiang Lili worry, and he felt conflicted for a moment.

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment and sighed deeply. Facing his smart daughter, avoiding her was not an option. He sat on a stone bench nearby and motioned for Jiang Lili to sit down as well.

"Li Li, actually these herbs are not as precious as I said before, it's just... I just said that because I'm worried that your condition will worsen." Jiang Jilian sighed, with endless guilt in his eyes.

......

Jiang Lili ran back to Lu Yundi's room crying. Her miserable appearance scared Lu Yundi.

She quickly put down the embroidery in her hands, walked over quickly, gently patted Jiang Lili's back, and said softly, "Li'er, what's wrong with you? What happened to make you so sad?"

Jiang Lili raised her tearful eyes, looked at Lu Yundi, and sobbed, "Mother, today the Crown Prince was extremely cold to me. I don't understand what I did wrong to make him treat me like this."

Lu Yundi frowned slightly. She knew that her daughter was a study companion in the palace and had always had a close relationship with the Crown Prince. Now that she suddenly became like this, there must be something fishy. She stroked Jiang Lili's hair and said slowly, "Li'er, don't worry. Tell me what happened in the palace today. Maybe I can help you analyze it."

Jiang Lili sniffed and told the story in detail. It turned out that Jiang Lili met the Crown Prince by chance in the Imperial Garden today. She wanted to share her recent reading experience with him, but she found that the Crown Prince ignored her and even avoided her intentionally. This made Jiang Lili feel very aggrieved.

After listening to his daughter's story, Lu Yundi pondered for a moment, then said: "Li'er, perhaps His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a bad mood recently, or has some troubles, so he is cold to you. You don't have to take it too seriously, why not wait and see."

Jiang Lili bit her lip and said worriedly, "But mother, I'm afraid there are some rumors in the palace that may have caused His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to distance himself from me."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, patted Jiang Lili's hand, and comforted her: "Li'er, you don't have to worry too much. There are many gossips in the palace, but as long as we act upright and sit upright, we are not afraid of others' gossip. What you need to do now is to adjust your mood, continue to accompany the study in the palace, and conquer everyone with your talent and charm."

Jiang Lili felt a little comforted by her mother's words, but a trace of uneasiness still flashed in her eyes. Lu Yundi saw it and sighed inwardly, knowing that the knot in her daughter's heart would not be untied in a short time.

"Li'er, do you know?" Lu Yundi said softly, "In the palace, one should not be surprised by honor or disgrace, and should accept gains and losses as they come. This is a state of mind. The prince's coldness towards you today may be a test from him, or it may be someone else's secret mischief. But no matter what, you must remain calm and composed."

Jiang Lili nodded slightly, but her eyes were still a little confused.

His daughter's character still needs to be tempered. Lu Yundi pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll have someone prepare some supplements tomorrow. You can take them to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and see if his attitude has changed."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Jiang Lili's eyes. Her mother was trying hard to help her. She nodded gently, and her tears gradually stopped.

Jiang Lili's emotions gradually calmed down. She wiped the tears from her face and forced a grateful smile.

"Mother, I understand. I will do as you say tomorrow. I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can understand my daughter's painstaking efforts." Jiang Lili's voice was weak but her tone was firm.

Lu Yundi gently patted Jiang Lili's hand and said, "By the way, you should also pay more attention to the changes in the palace's wind direction when you accompany her to study. Sometimes, when the wind direction changes, people's hearts will change as well. You must learn to observe and learn to adapt."

Jiang Lili nodded, secretly remembering her mother's words in her heart. The two were silent for a moment, and Lu Yundi asked again: "By the way, have you seen any changes in the attitudes of other palace maids or concubines towards you recently?"

Jiang Lili pondered for a moment and shook her head: "My daughter didn't notice anything unusual, but, perhaps because of the prince, they were much more polite to me."
