Chapter 1011 Two Huge Mouths of Dog Food

Lunch was arranged at the Imperial Estate. Tao Xiang personally cooked a large table of fresh dishes to entertain the guests, and even stewed a free-range chicken. The aroma of the chicken soup was irresistible from afar.

This was the first time Kang Pingzhi had ever seen royalty eat like this; the usual servants serving food were gone, and the atmosphere was much more lively and welcoming.

Unlike the princes of Xia Kingdom he had met before, who were all arrogant and demanded to be served, Prince Jin not only peeled shrimp for himself, but also for his fiancée and several younger sisters. He had none of the airs of the most noble prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He Min and He Yinuo were not spoiled like ordinary princesses, refusing to eat this or that, and the two of them ate with great relish.

He Yanran, on the other hand, seemed a little reserved, perhaps because sitting next to him made her feel too awkward, and she barely touched her chopsticks. Seeing that she wasn't eating much, Kang Pingzhi kept piling food on her plate, and before long, He Yanran's bowl was piled high with food.

He Yanran quietly kicked him under the table and said in a barely audible voice, "Stop putting any more food on my plate, I can't eat anymore!"

She's not He Yinuo, how could she possibly eat such a big bowl?

Kang Pingzhi smiled and coughed lightly, "What? You can't finish it? Then give it to me." Without paying attention to He Yanran's blushing face and the teasing smiles from everyone, he took half of the food from He Yanran's bowl and put it into his own.

He Yanran: "..."

Isn't this too intimate? Is it appropriate?

He Yinuo chewed on his food, his eyes switching back and forth between his second brother and sister-in-law, Prince Kang and his cousin.

Wow, that's a huge amount of dog food.

Chew, chew, chew...

When the group returned to the city, each carriage carried a basket of fresh oranges, the fruits of their labor.

He Yanran sat somewhat uncomfortably in the carriage, looking at He Yinuo who was chewing on shredded squid beside him, hesitant to speak.

"Um, Nuo'er, did you have a good time today?" He Yanran didn't know how to steer the conversation toward Prince Kang, so she just rambled on for a while.

He Yinuo smiled broadly and took out the largest orange she always carried with her: "Of course I'm happy, I picked the biggest orange in the whole orchard. I can't bear to eat it, I'll take it back for my father to try."

He Yinuo carefully put the orange away, treating it like a precious treasure.

Seeing that He Yanran couldn't bring herself to ask, He Min laughed and said, "Yu Nuo, stop dawdling and quickly share what you've found out with us. Look how anxious your sister Yanran is!"

When He Min teased her, He Yanran couldn't help but pinch her lightly, with a hint of annoyance.

He Yinuo raised her chin, looking smug: "In that case, I'll reveal some information. But it will cost you." With that, she stretched out her chubby little hand in front of He Yanran.

He Yanran had no choice but to take a gold melon seed out of his purse and place it in her hand, then pricked up his ears.

"Kang Shizi is the eldest son in his family. His mother is the daughter of the Duke of Su of Xia, from a noble family. He also has two younger brothers and one younger sister born out of wedlock. They are both 20 years old this year and have not yet been engaged."

He Min rolled her eyes: "This news is nothing special, not worth a single gold seed."

He was skilled in riding and archery, and enjoyed calligraphy and painting, but his chess skills were not good.

He Min considered it for a moment: "This is somewhat useful. At least we'll know their preferences and avoid some detours. Cousin, give me the money."

He Yanran took out another golden melon seed and placed it in He Yinuo's hand, continuing to prick up his ears.

"He can't eat almonds. If he eats almonds, he gets rashes all over his body. They are painful and itchy. He almost died once because his aunt fed him almond shortbread. So we check all the pastries he eats beforehand. There must be no almond shortbread."

He Min's eyes widened: "You managed to find out something so crucial? Impressive!" How could an ordinary person expose their weaknesses to others? Not even someone as seemingly innocent as He Yinuo. Therefore, it can be said that Prince Kang trusts He Yinuo and the Great Zhou very much.

"Cousin, give me the money. This is worth two gold seeds."

He Yanran took out her purse, pulled out three coins, and handed them to the little chubby hand. The extra coin was a gift.

“He said that he has no white moonlight or cinnabar mole in his life, and that he will never be ambiguous with any woman before marriage.” After He Yinuo finished speaking, he frowned: “I have never verified the truth of this statement, but I think he is not lying to me.”

He Min stroked her chin: "It seems like there's a similar plot in storybooks... Let's just believe him for now. Cousin, give me the money."

He Yanran handed over a golden melon seed, thinking that the news should have been spread enough.

He Yinuo carefully put it away, and said with a smile, "He also asked me a lot of questions about Sister Yanran. Do you sisters want to know?"

He Yanran's face instantly turned bright red, and she scolded, "Her Majesty the Empress sent you to gather information, why did you spread rumors? What did you say?"

He Min, looking excited, quickly said, "Yes, yes, what did you say?"

He Yinuo stretched out her two chubby little hands and placed them in front of the two people respectively.

He Min was taken aback, then pointed to herself: "I have to pay too? No... why should I have to pay as well?"

He Yinuo pouted and said matter-of-factly, "Third sister has already heard so much news for nothing. The free parts are all over, now it's time for the paid parts."

He Min: “…”

I almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Hmm, if you don't pay, you can only go to your second brother's carriage. Exclusive news, think it over."

He Min flicked her little nose, resignedly took out her purse, which contained no gold seeds, only loose silver. She handed a piece to He Yinuo's chubby hand: "Tell me, if it's not worth it, you have to give it back to me."

He Yanran gave him another golden melon seed, and he took a deep breath and waited quietly.

He Yinuo carefully put it into her small purse, and then, under the watchful eyes of the two men, said, "Prince Kang asked me what Sister Yanran likes to eat, what kind of rouge she uses, what books she likes to read, and who she likes to play with the most."

Seeing that they were only asking about his usual hobbies, He Yanran felt relieved.

"I said that Sister Yanran is not picky about food, but she doesn't eat greasy food. She only uses rouge made in the palace, and no matter how good the rouge shop is outside, you can't buy the kind that she likes. As for books, she loves reading local gazetteers of various countries. If Brother Shizi wants to cater to her interests, it would be best to send her more local gazetteers. Of course, I'm the one who plays games. Nobody doesn't like playing with me."

Seeing her smug look, He Yanran smiled slightly: "You sold out your sister and still ask her for money, you little rascal."

He Min clicked her tongue: "That's it? It's not worth it!"

"Ahem, Your Highness also asked how to persuade the Empress Dowager and Father if we want to invite Sister Yanran to settle in Xia Kingdom."

He Min's eyes lit up: "How did you answer?"

He Yinuo raised her face at a 45-degree angle, her dimples appearing and disappearing: "Of course, it's about using the princess to command the princes. As long as I'm persuaded, I can persuade my grandmother and father, and then Sister Yanran will naturally be able to travel with me."

He Min: “…”

He Yanran: "..."

You're probably not just thinking about having fun by yourself!
