Chapter 458 Extra - The Negotiations Failed
Or was Shu Tong deliberately testing her?
Ye Qingning's eyes darted around, and she smiled, "Little sister, since you've opened your heart to me, I might as well say a few words from the heart to you."
"Please speak, sister."
Seeing the deep thought in Ye Qingning's eyes, Shu Tong felt that she had definitely succeeded in persuading the Crown Princess.
Her bright future should be even brighter.
She wore a smile, expecting to hear good news, but to her surprise, Ye Qingning spoke first.
"After this period of seclusion and reflection, I've realized that I'm still more suited to this peaceful and simple life with my Ayan, no, I mean with my Abao."
Ye Qingning rubbed the back of Abao's neck, and it hummed comfortably twice.
Ye Qingning smiled and continued, "His Highness the Crown Prince dislikes me, and I don't want to upset him further. After all, His Highness is busy with official duties, and it would be better if he had more free time to visit Wutong Residence and talk to you. It's worth all my efforts that you two are so compatible."
Shu Tong's smile froze on her face. This was so different from the plot she remembered.
Or was it because they had just met, and the Crown Princess was still hesitant to tell her the truth? So she deliberately used such words to test her?
Shu Tong dared not speculate, after all, in this world, a higher official rank can be incredibly powerful.
With just a whispered word from the Crown Princess, she could be killed without a proper burial.
But she really didn't want to fight to the death with another woman like in the drama, just for the so-called position of Crown Princess.
She could only smile and change the subject: "Sister is joking. If the Crown Prince really disliked you, he wouldn't have gone all the way to Wutong Residence to ask how to please you."
Xiao Die brought the freshly baked pastries to the table, and Shu Tong's eyes lit up instantly: "Egg yolk pastries?"
This is her favorite.
Especially when it's piping hot and fresh out of the pot.
The red bean paste filling, combined with the savory egg yolk and flaky pastry, offers a triple delight with every bite.
Tsk.
If I could also enjoy it with a sip of milk tea, that would be pure bliss.
Ye Qingning nodded: "Yes, if you like them, please have a few more. I have plenty more here."
Shu Tong didn't stand on ceremony and ate happily, saying as she ate, "Sister, don't worry, His Highness the Crown Prince truly cares about you."
From a considerable distance, Haitang couldn't hear what the two were saying, but seeing her mistress's eating manners in front of the Crown Princess, she began to regret not having explained the rules to her properly before coming.
Is the food here at the Crown Princess's place something you can eat freely?
You can die if you don't eat well.
After eating three in one go, Shu Tong gave a thumbs up: "Sister, the egg yolk pastries here are really delicious."
"Come to my place often if you want to eat here. I have lots of other delicious food."
Ye Qingning also plans to make some milk tea, taro balls, mochi, and the like. In short, she can make all the things she likes to eat in modern times with the ingredients here.
She only needs to give two instructions, and the kitchen can whip it up for her.
Even if you don't know what to do, a little guidance from her is usually enough.
"Okay, okay," Shu Tong replied.
In any case, it's best to first establish a good relationship with the Crown Princess; everything will be easier to handle later.
Xiao Die brought the tea over, and Shu Tong gulped down a large cup, then sighed softly, "It would be so nice to have a cup of milk tea."
Ye Qingning was taken aback: "What kind of tea?"
Shu Tong smiled without changing her expression and explained, "There's a type of tea from my hometown that's..."
Before she could finish explaining, a servant came in to report: "Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince has sent over four imperial guards from the Ye residence. He needs you to inspect them personally."
