Editor: Henyee Translations

Princess Shuangfu flashed a warm smile at Qiao Xuan. “These items are of no use to me, so I’d like to give them to you, Madame Shao. They are just trinkets, and I’m uncertain of their practicality. Please don’t be concerned about them.”

Qiao Xuan could discern that Princess Shuangfu secretly wished to keep these items, but she knew that these modest treasures were hardly fit for the refined environment of the royal palace. Bringing them in was an impossibility.

Her heart quickened, and she leaned in closer to Princess Shuangfu, whispering with a soft chuckle, “Princess, aren’t you going to leave the palace tomorrow? Why don’t you return to my home? I’ll place these items in a room today. Tomorrow, you can choose whatever you like. I’ll have them packed and ready for you to take along when you depart the palace…”

Princess Shuangfu’s eyes brightened with surprise and delight. “Is… is that really possible?”

Qiao Xuan couldn’t make any guarantees but maintained a smile. “I can’t say for sure, but we can certainly give it a try.”

After all, Shao Yunduan held a position as the envoy, and they would be traveling together with their luggage, which meant they could bring at least a couple of boxes.

Princess Shuangfu also realized that with Lord Shao as the envoy, Qiao Xuan might be able to assist her in this endeavor. Overjoyed, she took Qiao Xuan’s hands and expressed her gratitude, saying, “Alright, let’s give it a shot, Madame Shao. Thank you!”

“You’re very gracious, Princess!”

With her spirits lifted, Princess Shuangfu bid farewell to Qiao Xuan with a smile, then returned to the palace under the watchful eye of the guards.

Upon his return home, Shao Yunduan inquired about the day’s events. Seeing his wife’s contented expression, Qiao Xuan replied with a smile, “Princess Shuangfu is truly kind-hearted, approachable, and humble. It was quite enjoyable shopping with her.”

Relieved by her words, Shao Yunduan remarked, “Crown Prince mentioned that Princess Shuangfu possesses a gentle temperament. It appears to be true.”

“That’s right! I’ve never gone shopping like that before and ended up buying a variety of knick-knacks. I’ve stored them here for her. She’ll visit our home today to make her selections. I’ll pack them up for her later, so she can take them with her when she gets married.”

Shao Yunduan stared at his wife, puzzled.

“I’ll never understand what you women are thinking!”

The following morning, Princess Shuangfu and her servant arrived as promised.

Qiao Xuan prepared breakfast at home, serving noodles and potato pancakes. Princess Shuangfu observed her busy in the kitchen, deeply intrigued by the preparation of noodles and potato pancakes in this manner. They complimented Qiao Xuan for her impressive culinary skills.

Qiao Xuan was left torn between laughter and bewilderment.

After breakfast, they proceeded to sort through the items.

While Princess Shuangfu held a sentimental attachment to all the goods she had personally acquired and wished she could take them all with her, she recognized the impracticality of this desire.

Consequently, she selected two boxes and handed them to Qiao Xuan.

With a smile, she addressed Qiao Xuan, saying, “Madame Shao, please don’t forget to include the strawberries and potatoes as well!”

Qiao Xuan nodded reassuringly. “Certainly, I won’t forget.”

After some thought, Princess Shuangfu hesitated and said, “Madame Shao, I… I would like to bring some other items, such as seeds, flowers, plants, vegetables, fruit trees, and more. I may not be knowledgeable about them, but I wish to bring as many as possible. Madame Shao, could you assist me in preparing these as well?”

Qiao Xuan was taken aback by the unexpected request and felt a deep sense of respect for Princess Shuangfu’s remarkable interest and ambition.
