Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Empress Dowager really regretted letting Princess Xuehua join them for the meal. She glanced displeased at Princess Xuehua. Whats wrong with you today?

Princess Xuehua blinked her eyes innocently. Imperial Mother, I only wanted to tell Little Young Master Su that there is a saying, Crabs are tasteless after eating. Weve already eaten the imperial meal, but Little Young Master only brought out this snow pear soup now. Im afraid that no matter how you try, you wont be able to taste it.

After saying this, Princess Xuehua covered her lips and smiled. However, her words were full of mockery. She obviously felt that the food made by Su Ye and Su Qingqing wasnt as delicious as the imperial meal. Even if they brought it out, it would be a display of empty generosity.

So what if its tasteless? You wont get a share anyway. Su Qian smiled gently as she looked at the Empress Dowager and said, Empress Dowager, the children rarely cook for outsiders. Today, they only prepared it for the Empress Dowager, me, and the Ninth Prince. I really didnt expect Princess Xuehua to join the banquet.

Princess Xuehua was furious when she heard that. She almost broke the chopsticks in her hand with a squeeze.

What did Su Qian mean by that? Did she imply that Princess Xuehua was an outsider?

Feeling that Su Qian was being so arrogant because she had Xiao Yans support, Princess Xuehua hatched a plan and said coquettishly, Xiao Jiu, I remember youve never liked sweet things. Why dont just give me your share?

When Su Qian heard Princess Xuehuas gentle voice, she subconsciously frowned and looked at her with disdain.

She thought, What was wrong with this woman? Doesnt she know how to talk nicely?

She was so disgusted that she almost had gooseb.u.mps on her back. Su Qian retracted her gaze from Princess Xuehua, afraid that she would be so disgusted that she wouldnt be able to eat.

Xiao Yan didnt even want to look at Princess Xuehua.

Surprisingly, before Xiao Yan could speak, the two children were shocked and shouted in unison, No!

The childrens sudden loud voices startled everyone.

The two children seemed to have realized that their reactions were a little too big. They looked at each other and saw the nervousness in each others eyes.

Xiao Yan took in the expressions of these two little ones and laughed strangely with interest, Why not?

Although he didnt have that intention, seeing how nervous these two little fellows were, he had the evil intention of teasing them.

Because, because that was specially made by Qingqing and brother for Ninth Uncle. Dont let Aunty eat it, Su Qingqing explained nervously.

Is that so? Su Qian also noticed the unease in the two children and squinted her phoenix eyes at them.

She knew her children well but she didnt know what these two children were up to.

The two little buns felt as if their mother was about to see through them. They lowered their heads and nodded silently.

The Empress Dowager easily believed the two little buns words and sighed, So its the two childrens goodwill. Since thats the case, we definitely cant share it with others. Nanny Jin, take the snow pear soup that the children made and heat it in the kitchen. I must taste the childrens goodwill.

It was obvious that the Empress Dowager was genuinely delighted that the two children had prepared food for her..
