So, the Eleventh Prince stayed in Lucky Garden, lying on the spacious bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

In the southern region of October, there would already be charcoal braziers in the palace.

He hadn’t seen any here, yet the room remained dry and warm.

Reaching under the bedding, he felt the warmth. Breathing in the air here was comfortable, and he understood why his father liked coming here.

This place was indeed extraordinary. His father, who usually commanded everyone with an authoritative tone, revealed a different side.

Rarely seeing this aspect of his father, he felt it was worth spending time here.

He observed the servants coming in and out, and the room soon filled with the fragrance of fruits. The person attending to him saw him gulp.

“Your Highness, shall this servant peel a banana for you? It looks delicious.”

The Eleventh Prince nodded, “Little Six, bring me a variety of fruits from the table I haven’t tried.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

With the toxins removed from his legs, he no longer needed to restrict his diet. He decided to eat more fruits. He wanted to recover quickly, exercise his legs, and experience the feeling of running and jumping.

At this moment, the lead sheep and its siblings arrived at Tingfeng Pavilion, even peering into his room.

The Eleventh Prince widened his eyes. “Little Six, aren’t the sheep in this house supposed to be caged?”

“I don’t know. It’s said that there are many small animals here—some roam freely, and some are in the backyard. When your legs are better, this servant will assist you in taking a look. Lucky Garden is famous in the capital. Not everyone can live here.”

“Inquire more about it.”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

As night fell, the couple finished dinner. Yuan Jiaqi massaged Qiao Mai’s shoulders.

“My wife, do you intend for Ling’er to marry into the royal family?”

“It’s not certain. It depends on whether Ling’er and he get along. I never intended for Ling’er to marry into the royal family, but the emperor mentioned it several times, so I went along.”

“But today, I saw Ling’er peeking at the front hall door.”

“I saw it too. She’s just curious. Let’s wait and see. Fate is something even I can’t control, no matter how capable I am. Perhaps this is fate. Let it be.”

In Xianyue Pavilion, Yue Hong and Yue Xia spread the bed while Nanny Jin and Ling’er sat face to face.

“Princess, now that the Eleventh Prince is living in our house, you must be careful when coming and going.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? He is a prince, and I am a princess. Besides, this is my house. Can guests bully the host?”

“Sigh, I’m just worried about the emperor’s intention on you.”

“I went to the front hall to sneak a peek today. The Eleventh Prince is handsome; it’s just that his legs are crippled. Mother is treating him.”

Nanny Jin’s eyes flickered. She silently hoped that they wouldn’t marry. After all, she had barely managed to escape from the imperial palace and didn’t want to return.

“Princess, what if the emperor wants you to marry the Eleventh Prince?”

“I believe in my mother’s judgment. Look at the women she chose for my eldest and second brothers—all good women. Third brother’s wife is also good.” “You don’t have your own opinion?”

“I’m not that stubborn. I listen to advice when I’m well-fed. I don’t ask for much. As long as he treats me well, it’s enough.” “But if you marry into the royal family, it will be difficult to leave the palace.”

“With my mother around, what is there to fear?”

“Heh, your mother is like a God! Everything is your mother!”

“Of course. In my heart, my mother is the god. She won’t just watch me get trapped.’

Nanny Jin shook her head and stood up. “It’s time to rest, Princess.”

“I know, Master.”

Qiao Mai went to Tingfeng Pavilion the next day and found the Eleventh Prince eating fruits.

Seeing Qiao Mai, he struggled to sit up. “Aunt, good morning!”

“You don’t need to move. Just lie down. I’ll check your pulse and leave.” The Eleventh Prince lay down, and Qiao Mai held his pulse. “If you’re hungry, you can have a steamed bun.”

“The fruits in your house are delicious.”

“If you like them, eat more. Your recovery is going well. In two days, you can eat regular meals. If you want something specific, you can send someone to the kitchen to order.”

“I’m sorry for troubling Uncle and Aunt.”

“Your father is a wise emperor. Out of respect for him, I cured your legs and saved your life. Seize this opportunity to live well.”

“Thank you, Aunt!”

After a few instructions, Qiao Mai left. The Eleventh Prince asked his attendant for a bright red apple.

“Madam Qiao doesn’t seem particularly special from her appearance.”

Little Six smirked, “I’ve inquired with the servants at home. Madam Qiao has extraordinary skills. Don’t judge a book by its cover.” “I know. I only said it casually.”

“Your Highness…” Little Six whispered in his ear.

After hearing his words, the Eleventh Prince was astonished. “She has such great skills?”

“I speak the truth. You’re secluded in the palace for years and know nothing about the outside world. I often run errands for you and have heard some things. ”

“This Lucky Garden doesn’t even have any guards. The ones guarding this place are a few sheep?”

“All those with ill intentions come here standing but leave lying down. The Qin

Dynasty’s Second Prince sent over a hundred assassins to abduct Princess

Tianshui. Unfortunately, they all died here.”

The Eleventh Prince sighed. “Looks can be deceiving. It must be describing Madam Qiao.”

“Yes, I’ve never heard that she could heal. Unexpectedly, she hides her skills so well. Besides, things like wheat, rice, and steel recipes come from her hands. Isn’t she formidable?”

“After listening to you, I want to see Madam Qiao’s skills. If possible, I would like to be her disciple.”

“I heard that the Fourth-Rank Generals, the brothers Jiang Yunpeng, were raised by Madam Qiao. Oh, and they were virtually invincible on the battlefield.

The more Little Six talked, the brighter the Eleventh Prince’s eyes shone. He liked to associate with people with skills.

Only by doing so could he learn many things and feel full of vitality.

He impatiently wanted to recover quickly, explore Lucky Garden, and seek guidance from Madam Qiao. “Little Six?”

“I’m here, Your Highness.”

“Go to the palace and pick some of the most precious gifts from the warehouse.

The Eleventh Prince nodded, “Little Six, bring me a variety of fruits from the table I haven’t tried.”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

After Little Six left, the Eleventh Prince had someone help him sit up. Two eunuchs massaged his calves, and he looked out of the window.

Tingfeng Pavilion was vast. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. His eyes caught the closest room to him.

He was attended to by palace maids for his personal needs. However, the steward sent someone to teach them how to use the bathroom. After using it, he fell in love with it.

That room looked beautiful outside, and the interior decoration was even better than the palace. Although he wasn’t a germaphone, he especially loved cleanliness. Taking a bath there was too comfortable.

There was no need for servants to deliver hot water. That thing called a shower head instantly produced hot water when turned on. The temperature was just right, and the pool could be filled with hot water shortly. After bathing, it would even drain automatically.

The emperor had only come to Lucky Garden for a meal. If he stayed for a few days, he believed the emperor would fall in love with it.

Lucky Garden was filled with peculiar and fascinating things. The Eleventh Prince’s eyes lit up as he saw three snow-white little sheep who came to inspect the area in groups.

He waved at the sheep through the window. The lead sheep rolled its eyes in a seemingly humanized manner, causing the Eleventh Prince to burst into laughter.

Looking at each other, the attendants noted that their prince hadn’t laughed so happily in a long time..
