Princesses were known for their simplicity and lack of pretense. This made Qingdi's journey accompanying her to the wedding far from exhausting.
Princess Shuangfu expressed great interest in the strawberries that Qiao Xuan had mentioned. Never having seen a vegetable garden before, she expressed a desire to visit Qiao Xuan's place for a closer look.
Qiao Xuan readily agreed to this straightforward request. Moreover, her yard was impeccably kept, offering a safe and appealing destination.
The two of them exited the teahouse and promptly hailed a carriage.
Unfortunately, the weather remained cold. While the entire garden was orderly, it was currently devoid of life, with the strawberry plants still concealed beneath a thick layer of straw for the winter.
They would have to wait at least until mid-February for the weather to warm up, at which point they could remove the straw coverings.
