"Go and get the snacks that the East Palace gave us today."

Liu'er looked into the room in surprise and left in silence.

Du Yaoyao said happily: "The prince also sent you some snacks." As a boss, it is normal to reward subordinates throughout the year.

Shen Jie said calmly, “The Crown Princess made it herself.”

"What a treat!" In Du Yaoyao's opinion, anything that the prince can show off must be a good thing.

Liu'er brought a food box, which was decorated with intricate carvings and was extremely exquisite.

"Open it and take a look." Shen Jie said.

Du Yaoyao obeyed and opened the lid of the box.

The bottom of the box was covered with white silk, and six golden and white plum blossom cakes lay quietly inside. A scent of milk mixed with almonds filled the air.

"The Crown Princess has such skillful hands," she exclaimed.

"Yeah." Shen Jie agreed and added, "It's very thoughtful. It took a lot of effort to grind the almonds into powder."

Yin Ye, who was standing aside, changed his expression and looked up, wanting to say something.

Shen Jie glanced at him with a cold and sharp look.

Yin Ye retreated angrily.

Du Yaoyao was completely unaware and just lowered her head to look at the pastries intently.

She licked her lips and reached for it, "I'll eat one first."

"This is almond pastry." Shen Jie reminded.

"I smell it, it has the scent of almonds." Du Yaoyao sniffed. Almonds are a good thing, but she was too poor to buy them in the past.

She took one and was about to put it in her mouth, but Shen Jie snatched it away, "You are not suitable to eat this."

"What's wrong?" Du Yaoyao was stunned and asked carefully, "Is there any taboo?" For example, things given by the emperor and the prince can only be offered up and not eaten.

There was something strange on Chen Jie's face. He smiled slightly and said, "It's taboo, Yaoyao, I should be the one asking you this."

Du Yaoyao was really confused. His words and actions were so confusing that she had no way of guessing what was going on.

Her eyes rolled around a few times. Chen Jie didn't allow her to eat almond cakes, and it was not a royal taboo. Is it a taboo of the original body?

The original owner doesn’t eat almond cakes, or is allergic to almond cakes?

Oh my god, why would the author spend so much time and effort on such a trivial matter as a cannon fodder ex-wife? She couldn't take care of everything and predict the future, so Du Yaoyao felt ashamed and thought about remedial measures.

Chen Jie saw through Du Yaoyao's embarrassment, smiled, and pointed at Yin Ye, "You say."

Yin Ye knelt down and complained, "Madam, you are allergic to almonds. If you eat them by mistake, you will get red bumps on your body. A year ago, because the cook in your house made a plate of almond cheese, you...almost beat her to death."

boom--

It’s not a small matter!

She remembered the beating and killing of the cook Du Yaoyao, but the specific reason was not mentioned in the book. She thought it was because the original owner was arrogant and domineering, but she didn't expect it was for Xingren.

There was so much shouting and fighting, but now she said she had forgotten about it, and her reason was not convincing.

Du Yaoyao rubbed her brows and said, "Okay, I remember now. You can go down now!"

After sending Yin Ye away, she wanted to face Chen Jie, the plague god, alone.

Chen Jie held a porcelain ladle in his hand and drank the sweet soup slowly beside the table. He smacked his lips and said with a smile, "It tastes good."

So calm as if nothing had happened.

Du Yaoyao knew in her heart that he was waiting for her explanation.

After sorting out her thoughts, Du Yaoyao decided to "confess" in a different way.

She said: "You know that time last month when I had a very severe fever, I couldn't remember a lot of things after waking up from that time."

"Yeah." Shen Jie responded. That time, she failed to seduce Song Xingkai and her aunt poured a basin of cold water on her. She had a fever and became a completely different person.

He helped her fill in, "Your temperament has changed a lot, your physique has changed a lot, and even your mind has become much clearer and smarter."

"What do you mean?" There was something else in his words, and Du Yaoyao immediately stared at him.
