Ziwei ignored Shen Nian's rejection and went off to make Luohan cakes for him.

Seeing Ziwei struggling to knead the dough, the chefs in the imperial kitchen lost their desire to help.

They didn't even appreciate the princess's kindness, let alone the others. Besides, there was Granny Gui watching over them, so they just went about their work.

Xuan'er, who had helped Ziwei up, regretted helping her up when she heard Ziwei's ungrateful words. She quickly brushed her sleeves as if she had touched something dirty.

Chen Nian really didn't care about Ziwei's affairs anymore, and didn't know that Ziwei had given up her soybean paste to make Luohan cakes for herself.

Her milk tea was ready, and the young chefs were already portioning it out for themselves.

"Princess, waaaah, I don't want this dress anymore. I'll change it as soon as we get back to Cining Palace."

"Okay, I'll change it when we get back and make you a new one."

Hearing Xuan'er's disdainful tone, Shen Nian knew what Xuan'er was bothered by, and nodded with a smile in his eyes.

She didn't care about Ziwei's matter at all; she wouldn't waste her emotions on people who were none of her business.

Chen Nian was at the stove where he was making milk tea, which was a bit far from where Ziwei was making things, and he was unaware that Fu Erkang had come to rescue his Ziwei.

...

As soon as Erkang entered the imperial kitchen, he saw Ziwei kneading dough with trembling hands and no one around to help her. He was furious.

"Ziwei, didn't you come to the imperial kitchen to teach how to make cakes? Why are you making them by yourself? Why is no one helping you?"

"May Grandpa Fu be blessed."

Upon seeing the person approaching, Master Zhuang took two steps forward.

“Master Zhuang, Ziwei is here to teach the Imperial Kitchen how to make pastries, not to let her make them herself.”

Upon seeing the person standing in front of him, Er Kang unleashed a barrage of attacks.

Master Zhuang was angered when he heard Fu Erkang berate him without knowing anything, and his liking for Ziwei decreased even more.

"Uncle Fu, it was my fault for not asking for help, it wasn't Master Zhuang's fault."

Ziwei, who was listening to Erkang's tirade, hadn't even reacted yet. By the time she did, Erkang was lecturing Master Zhuang, and she had to put down her work and step forward to stop him.

"Erkang, it has nothing to do with Master Zhuang. It was because Princess Shen wanted to eat Luohan cakes, and I was worried that the young chefs in the Imperial Kitchen wouldn't make them well, so I made them myself."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ziwei brought up Chen Nian.

“Chen Nian is here too. Why did she ask you to eat Luohan cake?”

Erkang was furious. Seeing Ziwei's trembling hands, he blamed everything on Chen Nian.

“Chen Nian, Chen Nian, where are you? Come out.”

Ignoring Ziwei's attempts to stop him, Erkang began searching the imperial kitchen, shouting loudly.

He wanted to ask Chen Nian if she wanted to eat Luohan cakes. Didn't she have enough people in the imperial kitchen to order them? Why did she have Ziwei make them for her?

...

"Princess, we've packed your things. Shall we take them to you? Are all these things going to be sent back to Cining Palace, Princess?"

"Okay, thank you for your help. Send one milk tea and two servings of taro balls with pearls to Yikun Palace, two servings of milk tea and taro balls with pearls to Shufangzhai, and the rest to Cining Palace."

After glancing at the amount of food that had been packed, Chen Nian nodded. She and Xuan'er couldn't carry it all, so they could only ask the chefs from the imperial kitchen to help deliver it.

"No trouble at all, Princess, please go ahead."

The chefs in the imperial kitchen had a very high opinion of Chen Nian because of his polite treatment.

I originally thought that since Chen Nian was so favored, he would be very arrogant, but I never expected him to be so approachable and not even hiding anything about the recipe.

They were from the imperial kitchen and were very interested in food. Princess Shen didn't hide the recipes from them at all, and even told them the key points, which really surprised them.

"good."

Chen Nian and Xuan'er walked out chatting and laughing.

“Chen Nian, no, Princess Chen, why do you want Ziwei to make you eat? Aren’t there enough people in the Imperial Kitchen for you to order around? Ziwei’s hands were shaking as she made the cakes for you. Don’t you have any compassion?”

"Xiao Yanzi is so good to you, she treats you like a sister, and my brother is also so good to you, so why do you still make things difficult for Ziwei?"

After finally finding someone, Er Kang saw Chen Nian smiling happily, and his anger rose rapidly.

His Ziwei is suffering, while the culprit is laughing happily. It's a shame that his brother treated her so well. Does he have no conscience at all?

Shen Nian was chatting with Xuan'er when Er Kang suddenly jumped out, his loud, harsh voice making Shen Nian's mind buzz. His face turned pale and his lips lost all color.

The young master following behind Chen Nian, seeing Chen Nian's rapidly changing expression, called out anxiously and worriedly, "Gege—"

When Xuan'er saw Chen Nian's condition, although she was also startled by Er Kang, she quickly reacted and hurriedly patted Chen Nian's back to help her catch her breath, her tone full of panic.

"Princess, Princess, don't be angry, don't be angry, it's not worth it, take a deep breath."

Xuan'er took out the pills she carried with her, poured out one, and fed it into Chen Nian's mouth. "Quickly, bring me some water."

"The water is here! The water is here!"

The young waiter was always ready; as soon as he heard the news, he quickly grabbed some water and a stool as well.

Xuan'er was also extremely flustered. With trembling hands, she took the water and fed it to Chen Nian's lips.

"Princess, have some water."

Feeling a dull pain in his chest, Chen Nian didn't care about Er Kang. He took a sip of water with Xuan'er's help, swallowed the pill, and was helped to sit down by Xuan'er.

I regulated my breathing.

The situation here also attracted the attention of Master Zhuang and Granny Ziwei on the other side.
