TICIEC Chapter 83.2

Wei Yingya used her chopsticks to pick up a plate and handed it to Tang Miaoling, while having the maid pack the rest into a food box.

“These are snow skin mooncakes. You can take this box back and eat it. I’ll send the remaining box to Ning Jieyu.”

“Come on, let’s go see my cousin together.”

Tang Miaoling held a plate in one hand and stuffed a snow skin mooncake into her mouth with the other.

“So delicious! Sister Ya, if you hadn’t entered the palace and instead opened a restaurant, it would definitely be a huge success!”

Wei Yingya smiled and said, “And then the Wei family broke my legs and kicked me out?”

How could a noble lady from a noble family lower herself to engage in business?

“That’s true…” Tang Miaoling nodded in realization.

The two of them walked out chatting and laughing.

A maid followed, carrying two large boxes of mooncakes.

As soon as the two of them stepped out, they saw a beautifully sculpted little girl near the palace gate, curiously looking in their direction.

“Huh? Where did this little girl come from…” Wei Yingya said in surprise.

Tang Miaoling recognized her at a glance and introduced her in a low voice: “This is the Eldest Princess. I saw her in the Imperial Garden before. Zhuang Fei doesn’t like her, and she is usually played alone with the nanny.”

The two sides met briefly.

The little girl stared intently at the pastry in Tang Miaoling’s hand, then quickly looked away and obediently stepped forward to bow.

“This daughter has met Ying Meiren and Tang Meiren.”

Wei Yingya looked at the little girl in front of her curiously: “Eldest Princess, please rise. What are you doing here?”

The little girl’s cheeks flushed red; she was too embarrassed to answer.

The accompanying nanny, Nanny Ping, smiled and said, “Please forgive me, Your Highnesses. This old servant accompanied the Eldest Princess to stroll in the Imperial Garden. As we passed by, we smelled a fragrance… The Eldest Princess was curious and stopped to take a look.”

That was said very subtly.

It was just that the child was tempted by the aroma and wanted to eat it, but she was too shy to do so, so she just stood there watching longingly.

Wei Yingya smiled and said, “I see. These are snow skin mooncakes I made. If the Eldest Princess likes them, please take a box to try.”

She made a lot; besides giving some to Ning Jieyu and Tang Miaoling, she could pack four or five more boxes.

“This…” The Eldest Princess hesitated for a moment, looking expectantly at Nanny Ping.

She wanted it, but Nanny Ping was very strict with her and never took other people’s things without permission.

Nanny Ping nodded at her.

The Eldest Princess smiled brightly, her eyes filled with undisguised joy: “Thank you, Ying Meiren! This daughter has tasted crispy snow before, and the imperial kitchen said it was made from Ying Meiren’s recipe. Ying Meiren’s culinary skills are truly amazing!”

She loves crispy snow the most!

So today, when she passed by Jing Guizhai, she couldn’t resist the aroma and stopped in her tracks.

“If the Eldest Princess likes it, you can come often in the future. I don’t have much else here, but I have plenty of snacks!” Wei Yingya said with a smile.

Then she ordered the palace servants to pack a box of mooncakes for the Eldest Princess.

Nanny Ping bowed to the two meirens to express her gratitude and then led the overjoyed Eldest Princess away.

“The Eldest Princess is also pitiful…” Tang Miaoling sighed softly, her eyes full of sympathy.

She was originally the most noble legitimate princess.

However, her mother died early, and she was raised by Zhuang Fei. Everyone knew Zhuang Fei’s temperament; she disliked the other concubines and, even more so, their children.

Over the years, she has ignored the Eldest Princess, and only her nanny has taken care of her.

“Yes, look at her, so well-behaved and sensible at such a young age. It’s heartbreaking.” Wei Yingya nodded in agreement.

Modern four or five-year-old girls are usually innocent and naive, pampered darlings of their parents. But this princess is well-mannered, speaks with propriety, and already acts like a little adult.
