The Princess's Mansion.

The atmosphere of the mansion, which used to be cold and deserted, suddenly changed in one morning.

The cheerful laughter of children could be heard from inside the house, and from time to time there were other women's voices whispering pleasantries.

What a lively scene.

Jiang Qingqing was holding the menu handed over by Fan Lou and looking at the delicacies carefully. From time to time, she exchanged her experience with Princess Qi Yang about these pastries. When they reached a consensus, Jiang Qingqing's laughter was particularly cheerful.

The person in charge of Fanlou stood aside somewhat uneasily, watching the two girls talking and laughing about something, but the topic had nothing to do with ordering food, and their posture did not look like they were in a play.

Because of excessive worry, the person in charge of Fanlou took out a handkerchief from time to time to wipe the sweat from his temples.

The last page was turned over. Jiang Qingqing and Princess Qiyang exchanged a glance. The former turned to the eldest princess who was smiling at them from the main seat and said, "Aunt, there are so many delicacies in Fanlou. It is impossible to ensure the deliciousness of the dishes or whether the presentation of the dishes meets the requirements of the banquet just by looking at the few words in the booklet."

Jiang Qingqing's speech was very serious, and it was hard to find fault with it.

The person in charge of Fanlou quickly stuffed the towel into his arms and hurriedly explained the dishes of Fanlou: "Don't worry, sir. Our Fanlou has hosted many banquets for dukes and earls. The dishes are absolutely up to standard, and no one has ever complained that the food is not fresh."

"I know that Fanlou has a full range of dishes. How about this," Jiang Qingqing heard the person in charge say this, which was exactly what she wanted, "You can choose a few of your signature and classic dishes and cook them. We will pick a few good ones here, and go to Fanlou the day after tomorrow to check out the situation on the spot. How about that?"

She wanted to postpone this matter to the day after tomorrow.

Mainly for the purpose of contacting Yanluo.

Princess Qiyang had no objection at this moment. Jiang Qingqing had gained a lot of favor with the princess these days. Even if the person in charge of Fanlou was reluctant to do so because he thought it was troublesome, he nodded in response because of the status of the princess and Prince Xiao.

In fact, the birthday banquet has been almost decided, except for the dishes.

The main reason why the eldest princess wanted to do this was that she was unwilling to compromise.

She always felt that there were better options besides Fanlou.

Princess Qi Yang thought that if she followed the general trend, nothing would go wrong at most, so she played it safe. Therefore, she had not yet placed an order for this dish.

Jiang Qingqing didn't think it was a big deal. The main character of the birthday banquet was the eldest princess, and the dishes were just a embellishment. If there were better ones, that would be great, but if there were nothing better, it wouldn't be a big deal.

The two of them had different opinions on the dishes. Jiang Qingqing maintained a neutral attitude. While trying to please her aunt, she looked at Princess Qi Yang who was so concerned and hesitated to speak.

This awkward situation lasted until Jiang Chen spoke.

"Perhaps, does anyone want to eat some cakes from Ying Niang's family on East Street?"

Jiang Chen spoke awkwardly, his expression a little unnatural.

Jiang Qingqing looked back at her brother, who looked a little unwell, and wondered how he knew which street had delicious food since he had never been out of the palace.

While Jiang Qingqing was puzzled, the eldest princess beside her obviously felt something was wrong.

"How did the Third Prince know about this shop on East Street?" The eldest princess asked puzzledly while sitting in the main seat.

The tone was not a serious question.

But Jiang Chen's stereotype of the imperial aunt was too strong. Even when he left the palace, he dared to be unrestrained in front of his uncle. He was a little flustered when it came to the imperial aunt.

He glanced around and before he could say a word or two, Xiao Linting on the side cleared up everyone's doubts.

"It was I who told Your Highness that the hot summer weather would inevitably affect one's mood. The weather is so nice today, why don't we go out for a walk? What do you think, Princess?"

Xiao Linting stood up and bowed to the eldest princess, neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke in a calm and steady manner.

He doesn't look like a boy of only fifteen or sixteen years old.

The eldest princess has always admired Xiao Linting as an elder does to a younger generation. She is also willing to give face to such an outstanding younger generation who can calm down conflicts with words.

"I will not be leaving the palace with you guys, you guys just have fun," the princess waved her hand, refusing, and then she turned to look at Jiang Qingqing, "Qingqing, when you are done playing, do you want to go back to the princess's palace?"

"Qingqing knows!"

Jiang Qingqing smiled brightly at the eldest princess.

Jiang Qingqing kept counting on her fingers in her mind, thinking about her current network of contacts in Apocalypse.

The emperor's uncle can barely be considered one, and now with the eldest princess as a hidden backer, perhaps in the short term, the people hidden in the palace will keep quiet for a while for the sake of the eldest princess.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingqing's smile seemed even more sincere.

As their group was about to leave the Princess's Mansion, the two men in front walked faster, and as time went by, only Jiang Qingqing and Princess Qi Yang were left walking behind.

Jiang Qingqing was followed by two maids.

"Cousin Qi Yang, why did your personality suddenly change?"

Jiang Qingqing has never spoken in a subtle way since she realized that she is a five-year-old kid. To be honest, they just think that she has a carefree personality.

There's nothing wrong with being carefree to others.

Who doesn't know how to use sleight of hand?

Princess Qi Yang was looking at the flowers, plants and trees around the Princess's Mansion. When she heard this question, she turned her head and looked at the little princess beside her.

"Your Highness, why do you think I suddenly changed my personality?"

"Are you serious about your question?" Jiang Qingqing also turned her head to look at Princess Qi Yang, who was much taller than her.

His big eyes were filled with shock.

Princess Qi Yang didn't say anything, this time she just nodded and acknowledged it.

Jiang Qingqing smiled and said, "It's impossible that you think I'm cute, so you let go of your hatred towards me, right?"

Ninety percent of what she said was a joke, and the other ten percent was just nonsense.

Princess Qi Yang sneered, and when Jiang Qingqing heard this laugh, she suddenly became alert.

This crazy woman, is she going to expose her kind face of the past few days and start a fight with me?

When Jiang Qingqing was about to prepare for counterattack, Princess Qi Yang beside her suddenly stopped and looked at Jiang Qingqing seriously and sincerely.

"I did put aside my own prejudices because of your character."

"ha!?"

Wait a minute, this story is going in the wrong direction!!

You were playing the villain in the beginning, why? Why did you suddenly switch sides?

"The words His Highness used when he reprimanded the Third Prince hit the nail on the head. I thought that the girl who could say such straightforward words must have a good heart."

“…”

Jiang Qingqing looked at the woman in front of her in shock.

Oh, her damned personality.
