Gluttonous Crown Princess

e, and praised, “This is the best candied ginger I’ve ever eaten.”
This was the truth.

He had never eaten such a good candied preserve before.
The taste of the ginger itself was well preserved, unlike the other candied preserves he had eaten before which only tasted sweet and nothing else.

“It’s good that you like it.” Tao Ti’s beautiful smiling eyes curved into crescent moons.

Being acknowledged by others was something to be happy about, not to mention being acknowledged by such a handsome guy, it was simply double the happiness!

“You’re so skilled at cooking, who did you learn it from?” Pei Yan asked carelessly, but his deep eyes were fixed on her face.

Sure enough, he caught the flash of dumbfoundedness in her eyes with precision.
She.
Was.
Panicking.

Tao Ti squeezed her fingers together unthinkingly, then blinked her glistening eyes and said with a smile, “I haven’t learned from anyone.
I just like to read about this and that in my spare time, especially notes about food.
When I see something that interests me, I would try to figure out how to make it……”

Long jade-like fingers tapped gently the tabletop.
Pei Yan’s expression remained impeccable, and he said mildly, “Oh, so that’s how it is?”

Tao Ti nodded her small head and said with a straight face, “Unfortunately, when I was in the Marquis residence, because there were many people watching, and all four branches share a large kitchen, it wasn’t convenient for me to keep using the large kitchen, so I never cooked much in the past.
Now, it’s all thanks to Your Highness that I have a small kitchen to fuss around in at will… I am really grateful.”

Back when she requested for a small kitchen, Tao Ti had guessed that someone might ask questions.
After all, the original body did not cook much, and for her to become fond of cooking after she came, it would inevitably attract attention.

She had thought that the first to ask questions would be those dowry maids and nannies, but did not expect the first to raise a question would be Pei Yan.

A pure and innocent little angel like Pei Yan should be quite easy to fool, right? After all, they were not familiar with each other in the past.

She reassured herself like this and also complimented herself for her quick-witted response and calm acting skills.

Hearing her words, Pei Yan, who was sitting at the table, raised his thick eyebrows slightly.
This explanation was logical, and he would accept it for the time being.

It’s just that, while explaining herself, she didn’t forget to throw in some flattery…

What a sly and ingratiating little fox.
