"Pointed at both ends is an egg dumpling, white at both ends is a fish ball, sparse at both ends is shrimp paste, and layered at both ends is auspicious purple clouds coming from the east."
"Laugh all you want, it's the only thing I could think of."
As soon as Chen Nian finished speaking, he shrank behind Qing'er, pulling Xiao Yanzi to shield himself completely, preparing to receive a baptism of laughter, because...
She could already see the undisguised smiles in everyone's eyes from the moment she made her first egg dumpling.
As for Master Ji, who had the highest expectations for her, his lips twitched. His eyes, besides amusement, also showed disappointment. His female disciple really loved to eat!
"Haha, Niannian, your answer really lives up to your reputation as a little foodie. All you talked about were snacks. No wonder the Empress Dowager always tells me to come to Cining Palace to eat more often. Watching you eat makes us eat two more bowls of rice."
The Emperor, true to his word, spoke for everyone.
What followed made everyone, who had been holding back their laughter, finally break down and burst out laughing.
Looking at Xiao Yanzi standing in a group, so self-righteous, and Chen Nian huddled behind Qing'er and Xiao Yanzi, whose backs could be vaguely seen through the gaps, their eyes were full of smiles.
The Emperor is truly blessed to have these two princesses.
The two princesses' answers were truly unexpected, and each had its own merits.
"Your Majesty, just laugh if you want, why are you bringing up my food again?"
The Emperor's words made Chen Nian even less inclined to come out. She stomped her foot, feigning annoyance and shyness, and hid herself tightly behind Qing'er and Xiao Yanzi, but her exposed ears turned bright red.
Originally, Xiaoxiao only mentioned food, and that was the end of it. But now, everyone knows she's a foodie.
Does she still have her face, her ladylike image? She's probably the first princess to love eating as much as she does.
However, this feeling was quite nice. Everyone was smiling tolerantly, unlike the ridicule I had received before. The anxiety that had been weighing heavily on my mind finally subsided at this moment.
Ertai noticed the change in Shen Nian's aura, and the worry in his eyes gradually dissipated. He slowly moved forward and then quietly slipped a piece of candy to Shen Nian.
Lord Furen, who happened to be following behind his son and witnessed his youngest son's sneaky actions: ...
Seeing that no one was paying attention, and looking around to make sure no one noticed his youngest son's situation, he resigned himself to shifting his position, blocking the unruly hand, and allowing Ertai to successfully place the candy into Chen Nian's hand.
Are you that worried about them?
Not only does he use his connections to find delicious food for people, but he also begs his wife to make soup for them at home, and he gives them special meals when they go out. Now, he even gives people a piece of candy as a reward if they answer a question correctly. Who taught his son to be so clever?
It's no wonder that the Fujin (wife of the emperor) once doubted whether the son was theirs, because he was just too clever.
Ertai: ...Can't he become self-taught?
Despite the doubts, the son was still his own flesh and blood. Apart from being too clever, there was nothing else to doubt.
"Alright, alright, come out now. I won't laugh at you anymore. Don't hold it in."
Seeing that the people were hiding and refusing to come out, the emperor called out.
"Sir, no one should expose someone's weaknesses like that."
Chen Nian weakly offered a rebuttal.
She already had nothing to be liked, and now she's been given the added label of "loves to eat," which will probably make her even less likable.
