The girl’s retort was obviously recovering better.
Her eyes were shining and she looked innocent. Lu Zhiyao’s mind buzzed with excitement. He instinctively touched his nose, afraid that he would lose his composure in front of the girl.
Her wet hair scattered behind the girl’s back, young and charming.
Such beauty was like an extremely attractive rose, slowly revealing its unique bud.
He was so lucky. In the beginning, he married the silly princess, but now, the silly princess was more beautiful than the clever princess, and he liked her even more!
“Tan ‘Er is getting smarter and smarter. ” Lu Zhiyao rubbed Xia Ling’s head.
Xia Ling’s lips curved into a smile as if she enjoyed this child-like tone. She rubbed her head against his palm.
“Yes! Tan ‘Er is getting smarter and smarter. ”
Lu Zhiyao’s smile deepened. He carefully held Xia Ling’s hand and led her out.
“Let’s go home. ”

Lu zhiyao stayed in the princess’residence for five days in a row.
By the end of the five days, Xia Ling’s sanity had basically returned to normal from the age of ten.
Xia Ling had even been summoned by the imperial family for such a miracle once.
She timidly called out ‘Daddy’ . Not only did the imperial family not punish her, they also did not correct her address. Instead, they rewarded her handsomely.
Soon after, Lu Zhiyao had just entered the imperial academy when he was promoted by the imperial family’s ‘dragon’s heart’ .
Lu Zhiyao naturally knew that this was all thanks to Song Tan.
Even if Song Tan didn’t say anything else now, she only had a pair of tearful eyes and looked at people timidly. Her beautiful and clean face and clear and moist black eyes were enough to melt people’s hearts.

Lu Zhiyao had heard many rumors outside.
His colleagues envied him for being promoted so quickly and ridiculed him for being a good-looking Princess. Even if Princess Fukang was stupid, he would still be able to coax the silly princess into coming to the imperial court to speak well of him.
The other academicians of the imperial forest courtyard faintly ostracized him.
Princess Fuan’s son-in-law was the crown prince of the High Duke’s Public House. Now, he was an idle steward in the Imperial Forest Garden. He was in charge of the flowers and trees in the capital. To put it bluntly, he was a gardener. He was even more humble than Lu Zhiyao, the academician of the Imperial Academy.
However, the Imperial Forest Garden and the Imperial Academy happened to be in the same place.
It would be a miracle if Lu Zhiyao could get along well with the crown prince.
Lu Zhiyao had never brought these troublesome matters back to the princess’residence. His princess was an innocent girl and did not know anything about these matters. It would be useless even if he told her.
Moreover, he did not talk about these matters. As long as he saw the girl’s happy smile every day, his mood would improve.
Just like that, the days passed by peacefully.
Xia Ling was watched over by Nanny Li and nanny Zhang. Every day, she used soup and Chinese medicine to recuperate her body. After half a month, her body grew taller and fatter. Even her face was full of flesh.
When she had nothing to do, she would pass a sign to the palace.
The princess who married out of the palace wanted to enter the palace. She could only enter the palace three times a month, and each time was limited to four hours.
Zhang Guifei had never taken these rules seriously.
If she followed the rules, how could she be considered a favored concubine?
Every month, Xia Ling could enter the palace four or five times. Sometimes, when she entered the palace, Zhang Guifei would leave her in the palace to spend the night.
The official family doted on Zhang Guifei, and he doted on Xia Ling even more. Gradually, the princess that the official family was talking about changed from Princess Fukang, Song Qian, to Princess Fuyu, Song Tan.
At that time, after Song Tan got married, Song Qian wanted to build a good impression in front of the official family, so she invited herself to copy a volume of Diamond Sutra for the official family in the temple.
At that time, she was still proud of herself. She was the only princess in the palace who had not married yet. With her modern thinking, she would definitely be able to win the favor of the officials.
