Having completed his mission, Qin Xiao naturally left the palace early and reported to the prince's residence. However, knowing well what was inside the porcelain, he could not resist his curiosity and wanted to know what the princess intended.

Not to mention the women in the harem, even the women of ordinary families would be afraid of these insects. However, this princess, who is a royal family, not only asked the prince to find these things, but also looked at the things delivered today with excitement! If he didn't know the princess's personality, he would probably suspect that the princess had a special hobby for these things.

While thinking, Qin Xiao stepped into the main courtyard.

"What?" A cold voice awakened his thoughts. Qin Xiao looked at the master who had been sitting here before he entered the palace just now, and he couldn't help but be surprised. This back and forth also took a lot of time. It was obvious that the master had been here all the time, waiting for news? Sure enough, when he saw the book that the master had just placed on his thigh, Qin Xiao confirmed his guess. Since the princess entered the palace, the master has been sitting in the main hall of this courtyard almost every day after court. People who don't know or don't understand, he has followed the master for so many years, naturally understands that the master is here to ensure that if there is any event at any time, he can receive the report in the first time. After all, if it is in Yunxiao Courtyard, I am afraid there will be a lot of checks and reports before it can be seen.

"To reply to your Highness, the princess is very excited." Qin Xiao suppressed his excited smile and lowered his head.

"Excited?" Situ Xunxiao leaned against the back of the chair, raised his eyebrows, and his cold eyes also showed a hint of inquiry. He vaguely felt that Zongzheng Xiaoting's question in the pavilion in the middle of the lake was related to his current behavior. Situ Xunxiao narrowed his eyes and thought, what did she say at that time? Was she afraid of insects? Especially food?

"In the next few days, pay attention to the princess's movements at all times, and report anything." Situ Xunxiao sat up straight and frowned. This little girl wouldn't be so bold as to force anyone to eat insects. His eyebrows gathered more and more, and then, suddenly, as if suddenly enlightened, he restored his usual expressionless face. Situ Xunxiao leaned back in his chair. Even if someone forced her, he could protect her. Who cares?

Qin Xiao had long been accustomed to his master's mood swings after meeting the princess, and was immune to his master's change at this moment. He simply lowered his head and retreated. When he met the Nighthawk who came over, he immediately gave a few instructions.

"Nighthawk."

"Brother Qinxiao?" The hurried Nighthawk was stunned by the curiosity flashing in the eyes of Qinxiao, who was always serious.

"Didn't the prince arrange for you to protect the princess?" Qin Xiao smiled, "Do you know what the princess wants to do?"

It was rare to see Qin Xiao gossiping, so Nighthawk blinked in disbelief, "Are you sure you are Brother Qin Xiao?"

"Nonsense, you little bastard. What? You can't ask that. Do you understand that you should obey orders? Just answer whatever is asked." Qin Xiao, who was humiliated and angry, had to put on airs and use threats and inducements.

"Haha." Nighthawk waved his hands, "This is the brother Qinxiao I know. That's why I came here. The princess fried and processed all the insects. I really don't understand. But the princess just gave these things a very mysterious position. The queen mother is now talking to the princess enthusiastically, and it seems that she is interested in these things."

"What?" Qin Xiao had a bad feeling in his heart, and the two of them hurried towards the hall.

At this moment, in Tianxue Palace

"I thought it was something else. The Queen Mother really has a keen sense of smell." Zongzheng Xiaoting covered his mouth and laughed, "It's all Xiaoting's fault for being greedy. The big move attracted the smell to the Queen Mother's palace."

"The princess's big move has attracted me." The queen mother smiled, glanced at Gong Yunluo and Gong Yunfei beside her, and continued, "Just now, I was chatting with Yunluo and the others, and they were all attracted by the fragrance. Yunfei came out without asking for anything, but she pestered me to come over and take a look. I think she was probably too embarrassed to ask the princess."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting just smiled and said nothing. The Queen Mother's implication was that she wanted to use other people to get a piece of the pie, right? She said it in a nice way, but she pushed everything onto Gong Yunfei. Everyone could see that Gong Yunfei had no weight at all in the Queen Mother's heart.

However, Gong Yunfei was also smart. How could she not play the role that the Queen Mother wanted? With a smile on her face, Gong Yunfei said warmly to Zongzheng Xiaoting, "Princess Xiaoting, you don't know that although the princess didn't say anything at the palace banquet that day, Yunfei was thinking about it very much. I'm afraid that behind this unknown thing is the treasure of the Royal Concubine. Yunfei overestimates her own abilities and really wants to ask the princess for a share."

"This..." Zong Zheng Xiaoting pretended to be embarrassed.

"The princess wouldn't even satisfy me with this, right?" Gong Yunfei asked eagerly. "Yunfei knows that the princess's secret recipe is not to be known to others. But, today Brother Xunxiao happened to send something to Yunfei, and Yunfei saw it. Yunfei is really looking forward to it. If I can't get the secret recipe, at least I can try it, right?"

Gong Yunfei's words at this moment were so earnest and coupled with her charming appearance, it was really hard to refuse her.

"Princess Yunfei is very thoughtful, but I really don't like these things. Besides, my mother once asked Xiaoting not to publicize them. I'm afraid..."

"Princess, why should you be shy? No matter what we do, we will not announce it to the public. The more you hide it, the more we will be itching to have it." Gong Yunluo said to Zongzheng Xiaoting quickly, "Now that this fragrance is so mouth-watering, the princess won't be so stingy, right? Yunluo has no chance of getting this harem beauty secret recipe, so it's not too much to get a little bit of it, right?"

"If that's the case, then fine, Xiaoting will be back soon." Zongzheng Xiaoting looked embarrassed, his brows slightly furrowed, "Ningshuang, take the Queen Mother and the two princesses to the side hall first, and Qingqing and I will prepare the next seasoning first."

"Yes!" Ningshuang bowed and saluted respectfully to the Queen Mother and others, then moved towards the side hall with three people who looked very happy.

Qingqing, however, followed Zongzheng Xiaoting with some uneasiness, "Princess, you are not really going to ask the Queen Mother and the two princesses to eat these, are you?"

"Why not?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows and smiled slyly, "I really think it's delicious, but well, those who have never eaten it and have never had the mindset of the place where I have lived don't understand the nutritional value of these things, and have never experienced when the poor are really poor and crazy. I'm afraid that the rich and powerful who eat everything to survive will make people sick to death."

Qingqing shook her head helplessly when she heard this, "Princess, if you give it to the Queen Mother like this, I'm afraid they won't even touch it."

Is that so? Zong Zheng Xiaoting blinked and looked at Qingqing, who looked innocent. However, the corners of her mouth that were raised seemed to be hiding a smile, which she was trying hard to suppress.
