1602 She Had Other Intentions

Yaoyao raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, “What did you initially think of me?”

“I thought you would be egotistical and difficult to get along with. You’re a princess, after all, and someone of noble status,” Yuan You replied honestly.

Yaoyao burst out laughing, but suddenly looked serious and said sternly, “How dare you, Yuan You?!”

Yuan You trembled with fright. “Princess Yaoyao, I…”

“Haha…”

Yaoyao and Hexin laughed so hard, they fell to their sides.

It took a while for them to finally stop. Yaoyao held Hexin’s shoulder and said, “Where did you find your little cousin from? She’s so much fun to tease.”

Hexin finally stopped laughing and she said to Yuan You, who had a blank look on her face, “Yaoyao was just joking with you. Why did you take it seriously?” She smiled, but could not help laughing again after that.

Yuan You finally caught on to the situation and said frustratedly, “How could you two tease me like that? I have to punish you.” With that, she ran toward them and began tickling them.

“Haha…”

Their laughter filled the room.

After the three of them had their fun, they sat down at the table.

Hexin spotted the two brocade pouches on the table and touched them out of curiosity. “What are these?”

It was only then that Yaoyao remembered them. She picked one up to take a look. A sweet feeling filled her heart when she saw that it was filled with sunflower seeds. She quickly tucked the other brocade pouch away. “It’s nothing.”

Hexin gave her a questioning look when she saw how much Yaoyao seemed to treasure it but did not say anything further about it.

Soon, Ling’er served up a scrumptious breakfast.

Yaoyao invited the girls to enjoy it together.

Both of the other girls had already taken their breakfast before entering the Palace, but when they saw the breakfast specially prepared by the imperial chef, it ignited their appetites even though they were not hungry.

“Thank you, Big Sis Yaoyao. We’ll help ourselves then,” Hexin said as she picked up the chopsticks.

“You’re welcome.” Yaoyao smiled as she picked up another pair of chopsticks and passed it to the more reserved Yuan You. “Help yourselves.”

Hexin rubbed her stomach as well. “Me too. The breakfast prepared by the imperial chef is really good.”

When Yaoyao saw how much they enjoyed it, she said, “If you don’t find it too troublesome, you’re most welcome to come to the Palace for breakfast in the future.”

Yuan You looked at her in delight. “Can we really do that?”

“Of course.” Yaoyao nodded.

A cunning look flashed in Hexin’s eyes as she looked at Yaoyao teasingly. “Don’t you need to ask His Majesty’s permission?”

Yaoyao saw the playful look in her eyes and pretended to think about it before saying, “That reminds me—I’m a guest as well. I do need to ask the owner about this. I’ll ask Big Brother Beitang when he returns later.”

When Yuan You heard this, a look of delight flashed in her eyes and she asked happily, “Is His Majesty returning?”

“He should be.” Yaoyao noticed how happy she looked and replied without revealing anything.

Yuan You did not say anything more, but her little face exposed her thoughts—she was eagerly awaiting his return.

Yaoyao looked at Hexin and flashed her a questioning look.

Hexin shook her head; she had only found out about this as well.

Hexin was on full alert now. No wonder Youyou was so enthusiastic about accompanying her to the Palace.

The girl had other intentions.

“Since we’re at the Palace, let me show you around the imperial garden,” Yaoyao suggested.

“Let’s go,” Yuan You replied happily.

All three of them went to the imperial garden.

“By the way, why didn’t you leave the Palace to see me yesterday?” Hexin asked with concern. “Chen Jin said you suddenly had something to attend to. Was it anything important?”
