Summer arrived, bringing the harvest season. Apricot, early plum, and mulberry trees were ripe for picking.

Zhou Ying started preparing gifts, a basket each of apricots and plums, and two large jars of mulberry wine, and brought them to the palace, splitting them between the Grand Empress Dowager and Gu Wanning.

Seeing the Second Prince playing on the slide, Zhou Ying greeted Gu Wanning, who was watching nearby. Gu Wanning smiled upon seeing the gifts. “Fresh fruit! I haven’t had any in a while. Thank you, Sister-in-law.”

“Enjoy them,” Zhou Ying replied. “They’re delicious, but go easy, especially for the children.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll watch them.”

Pointing to the large jar, Gu Wanning asked with sparkling eyes, “Is that wine?”

“A savior, just and kind!”

Zhou Ying simply smiled at Zhi Shan’s reverence.

They then turned to palace news. The eldest princess and prince were now fully engaged in their studies—six hours daily, divided between morning and afternoon sessions.

Notably, the Emperor personally took the Eldest Prince to practice martial arts in the horse stance every morning, much to the prince’s dismay.

He Jiahui, on the other hand, had been well-behaved since entering the palace. Aside from the mandatory morning and evening greetings, she rarely visited. Already three months pregnant, she remained hidden, seemingly content to stay out of sight.

Zhou Ying wondered if this was genuine meekness or well-calculated prudence. After all, someone entering via a talent competition was more likely to be the latter.

Lunchtime arrived, and Zhi Shan left to be with her daughter. Zhou Ying and Gu Wanning exchanged a few more words. Learning that the Emperor remained unchanged, Zhou Ying finally felt relieved after her half-month visit.

Stay strong,” Zhou Ying offered before leaving.
