Chen Cao was amused by her cute little look.
"In short, Princess, remember what I said. If you really encounter any trouble, seek his protection."
Chen Cao called Juqing over again and told her some things, then left the palace.

Soon, a morning passed.
As expected, the people from the imperial kitchen did not bring breakfast.
It was not until almost noon that the palace official in charge of delivering meals finally arrived, but he only brought a pile of leftovers from the morning.
Xiao Shuangbao has become accustomed to this.
She was fed by the young musician in the morning and ate very well.
I wasn't very hungry at that time.
She lazily walked to the dining table and was just about to pick up a piece of cold pastry to take a bite.
Outside, someone suddenly knocked on the door and came in.
Little Shuangbao held the pastries and stared blankly at the young musician who suddenly appeared in front of him.
There was also a beautiful sister behind him with a gloomy face, looking at him with great displeasure.
And Uncle Zhong, who followed diligently beside him, carrying an extra-large food box.
"Little princess, it's time to eat! Look what our young master brought you!"
As soon as Uncle Zhong came in, he opened the lunch box enthusiastically.
Suddenly, a fragrance hit Xiao Shuangbao's face.
She didn't feel very hungry just now, but the glutton in her stomach was instantly awakened and started to growl.
"It smells so good!"
Little Shuangbao's eyes widened as he watched Uncle Zhong take out one delicious dish after another from the food box and place them on the table.
Her saliva was about to flow out.
“There are so many delicious foods!”
Little Shuangbao automatically ignored her beautiful sister and looked at the little musician with sparkling eyes, "Brother Musician, are these for Shuangbao to eat?"
"nonsense!"
Before the young musician, Zhongli Yu, could reply, the eldest prince, Jing Zhao, took the initiative and replied in a cold tone, "Isn't it for pigs to eat?"
"The eldest prince..." Zhongli Yu was a little helpless.
"Humph, Shuangbao is not a pig! Even if he is! He is still the cutest little pig!"
Little Shuangbao muttered weakly.
"You can actually eat the amount that several people eat in one meal. You are clearly a gluttonous pig!" The eldest prince sarcastically said.
"That's because Shuangbao is very strong! Naturally, he eats more!" This time, little Shuangbao immediately fought back unconvinced.
"You are so eloquent now, but don't be so scared when the day comes when you have to prove your mother's innocence that you can't say a word!" The eldest prince continued to sneer.
"Alright, First Prince, since you agreed to come with me today, let's not talk about this anymore."
Zhongli Yu's childish face was full of helplessness.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the eldest prince said awkwardly, "If I had known you asked me to leave the palace today just to go to the restaurant and order these dishes for her... I would never have agreed to go with you!"
"Hey, these delicious foods, did Brother Qinshi go out of the palace to buy them for Shuangbao?"
Xiao Shuangbao said with a look of surprise.
She was touched again.
"Brother Qinshi, why are you so nice to Shuangbao?
"Ever since Daddy went to Noble Consort Wang's palace, the people in the imperial kitchen have only given Shuangbao leftovers."
Hearing this, Zhongli Yu just smiled faintly.
He looked at Xiao Shuangbao's innocent eyes and said nothing. Instead, he took her little hand and sat down with her at the dining table. Just like in the morning, he began to pick up food for her.
"Princess, please eat quickly, or it will get cold."
The eldest prince couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw his gentle posture.
Zhongli Yu must have not had much contact with Su Chushuang in his previous life, so he has no idea what kind of person she is.
In this life, I was deceived by the soft, cute and innocent appearance of young Su Chushuang!
That's why he was so kind as to send her food.
If you have the chance, you must warn Zhong Liyu to stay away from Su Chushuang, otherwise she might stab you in the back!
Zhongli Yu finished the meal with Xiao Shuangbao.
The eldest prince watched from the side, and was finally persuaded by Zhongli Yu to eat a little.
Chen Cao had previously told her to seek help from Zhong Liyu if she encountered any problems, but in the end, she didn't, and Zhong Liyu came to her on his own.
In the next two days, he also fed little Shuangbao three meals a day without missing a thing.
Little Shuangbao's face, which had just become a little thin due to hunger, quickly became round again.
And these people who were sent by Concubine Zhao to monitor them saw it all.
After she heard the report, she was so angry that her teeth were about to break.
"Is this hostage from Southern Yan deliberately going against me?
"I want to kill that little bastard, and he keeps trying to get close to him all day long! What an eyesore!
"If he wasn't a hostage, I'd really like to kill him! To keep him out of the way!"
Concubine Zhao cursed loudly in her own palace.
Madam Zhou said calmly, "Don't worry, Madam. I have my own way to deal with a hostage from a different country."
"Madam, please be careful. I don't want to be suspected by the Emperor because of a hostage."
Concubine Zhao glanced at Nanny Zhou and said.
"Don't worry, Madam. You can trust me in my work. I promise it will be clean and efficient."
After she finished speaking, a sinister smile appeared on Nanny Zhou's usually kind and gentle face.
**
In a blink of an eye, three days passed.
The day has come for the Queen to prove her innocence to Emperor Chengxuan.
This day is attracting everyone's attention.
Early in the morning, almost all the concubines in the harem gathered in the Qianqing Palace, waiting to see the queen make a fool of herself.
