Gluttonous Crown Princess

ably distanced herself from her by a lot.
It can’t go on like this!

Zishuang’s eyes rolled in thought, then said hurriedly, “Mistress, the kitchen is full of soot and grime, what is a precious and noble self like you going there for? If you have any orders, you can just call for Supervisor Yuan from the Food Services Bureau.”

Tao Ti cast her a glance, “I have no orders, I just want to go to the kitchen for a look.”

Zishuang choked; she still wanted to speak, but Tao Ti had already left, taking Linglong with her.

Zishuang bit her lip bitterly; she didn’t know how this little tramp Linglong had sucked up to her mistress, to have actually made her mistress value her so much! How infuriating!

The Eastern Palace could be said to be big, but could also be said to be small; before long, news of the crown princess going to the kitchen had spread.

“Have you heard? Crown Princess complained that the dishes served by the Kitchens tasted bad and threw a huge fit on the spot.
Putting aside how she flung her chopsticks down, she even ran to the kitchen to denounce them… those on duty in the kitchen are going to be in trouble now.”

“No way! Even dishes prepared by imperial chefs can’t satisfy her?”

“Who knows… Anyway, I’ve long heard that this crown princess is not a good sort.
Before getting married, she cried and threw tantrums all the time, adamantly refusing to marry into our Eastern Palace.
She’s only been married here for a few days, and it’s already no longer peaceful!”

Rumours spread like wildfire, and there were even several versions, such as the crown princess flipped the table, the crown princess slapped the eunuch who delivered the meal, the crown princess announced that she was going to replace all the chefs in the Kitchens… everything was painted in vivid detail.

By the time the words reached Pei Yan’s ears, it had already evolved into the furious crown princess was about to trash the kitchen.

Pei Yan, “……”

The chatterbox Zhan Ping was still blabbering ceaselessly, “Your Highness, you really have to control the crown princess! Who has ever not praised the food from the Eastern Palace’s Kitchens after tasting them? Yet, she’s being so picky! Today, she’s trashing the kitchen, then tomorrow, is the Eastern Palace’s roof going to be ripped off?!”

Pei Yan looked calmly at him, “Where did you hear all these from?”

“When coming over here, all the palace attendants I met along the way were talking about this.”

Pei Yan pursed his lips slightly, then called the eunuch Fu Xirui in.
“Where is the crown princess now?”

Fu Xirui hesitated for a moment before replying with downcast eyes, “It seems that… Crown Princess is in the kitchen.”

Zhan Ping shrugged and gave Pei Yan a “See, I didn’t lie, right?” look.

Pei Yan coughed lightly a couple of times.

Zhan Ping was startled, “Eh, Your Highness, you mustn’t harm your body getting angry over such a woman.”

Pei Yan did not say a word; in the next instant, he stood up and went out of the study.

“Your Highness, where are you going?” After speaking, Zhan Ping couldn’t help but smack his head—sigh, where else would he be going? He must be going to look for the crown princess to get even!

At the thought of this, he followed hurriedly, shouting, “Hey, Your Highness, wait for this subordinate, I’ll come with you.”

Such excitement can’t be missed!
