Nalan Jinlian heard this, and smiled at Mrs. Xu saying, "Mother, I’ll take you back first, then go to the front courtyard to see Grandfather!" Original content can be found at novel⸺fire.net
"No need to escort me, I still want to pick some plum flowers. You take some people to deliver plum flowers to your grandfather!"
Nalan Jinlian thought for a while, waited for Lian Qiao to bring the White Jade Plum Vase over, broke off some plum branches and put them in the vase, and with Juan Ye, she called a maid to accompany her and headed towards the front courtyard.
Juan Ye was a maid in the residence and naturally knew the way.
Nalan Jinlian did not ask the maid’s name, and assessed the appearance of the residence as she walked.
Overall, the foundation of the Fuwei Marquis Residence was quite profound, exuding fineness everywhere.
The front courtyard was even more grand and bold, not quite the same as the exquisite elegance of the back courtyard.
Nalan Jinlian glanced a few times but found no interest and directly headed to the study of the old Marquess.
At the door of the study, she let the servant go in to announce her presence.
"Who did you say has arrived?" the old Marquess asked.
"Replying to the Marquess, it’s the Sixth Miss!"
The old Marquess was taken aback for a moment, "Wasn’t she supposed to be going into the palace?"
The servant was also unaware of the details, so he remained silent.
The old Marquess pondered for a moment, "Invite her in. Also, instruct them to prepare tea and bring some snacks over!"
The servant respectfully invited Nalan Jinlian inside.
Nalan Jinlian nodded and elegantly entered the study with two maids.
The old Marquess, sitting in the Taishi Chair, smiled at Nalan Jinlian, "What brings you here?"
"I was in the Plum Forest earlier and saw the plum flowers were blooming well, so I picked some for you, Grandfather. This White Jade Plum Vase is from my mother!"
She praised herself and also complimented her mother.
The old Marquess looked and laughed, "Hmm, these plum flowers are good, and the plum vase isn’t bad either, put it on the shelf over there!"
Juan Ye immediately placed the vase down.
Nalan Jinlian smiled and asked, "Grandfather, I’ve brought plum flowers for you, can you agree to a small, very small request of mine?"
"It’s said that people don’t visit the temple for no reason, tell me, what exactly is this small request?"
"Actually, it’s no big deal, it’s just that the books in my Qinglian Garden, I don’t like reading any of them. I wanted to see if there are any I like in your study, can I, Grandfather?"
"Of course, you can take the books back to read, but you must return them and not damage them, understand?"
"Mm mm, thank you, Grandfather, I’ll go find books now!"
Nalan Jinlian finished speaking and eagerly went to search for books.
The old Marquess smiled helplessly.
Because he was aware of the Crown Prince’s subtle interest in Nalan Jinlian, he indulged her a bit more, not daring to go against her wishes.
Carefully cherishing her.
Hoping she would have more affection for the Marquis Residence, and if she truly became influential one day, to pull the Marquis Residence up somewhat.
Moreover, the Crown Prince takes great care for her, seemingly genuinely interested.
Everything done by the Marquis Residence now was naturally also for the Crown Prince to see.
Nalan Jinlian wandered by the bookshelves, examining them row by row, seriously selecting and picking, indeed finding several books, all regarding Medical Books.
Nalan Jinlian did not know why, she just wanted to read books on this topic.
"Does Miss know medical skills?" Juan Ye asked softly.
Nalan Jinlian shook her head, "No!"
"Then why is Miss choosing Medical Books?"
"You can learn if you don’t know, maybe one day I’ll become a renowned physician!" Nalan Jinlian said while seriously selecting again.
Juan Ye nodded in agreement.
Thinking Nalan Jinlian made a very good point.
The maid Qing Zhu who came along subtly changed her expression, pursed her lips without speaking.
Nalan Jinlian casually and imperceptibly glanced at her, her eyes deep and silent, continuing to choose Medical Books...
