“What did you bring?” She asked again.
“Why doesn’t Your Highness ask about my leg?”
“Your leg, do I need to ask? I have eyes.” Concubine Jin retorted calmly.
“Can’t you show a little surprise? Make us look a bit closer.”
Concubine Jin glanced at her, saying, “Fine, pick whatever you like in this room.”
“Can I choose a few?”

“I’ll do it myself!”
Jiang Ning quickly put the food box on the table and turned to look around the room.
The two little ones had already been led away by the wet nurse to play outside.
Jiang Ning looked around, and finally stopped at the guqin stand, showing a finger, “This guqin is good.”
Concubine Jin turned her head to look.
A palace maid on the side laughed, “This is our mistress’s favorite thing.”
“If Your Highness doesn’t like it, I don’t want it.”
“You rascal,” Concubine Jin retorted lightly, “If you like it, take it. No matter how good things are, they are of the external world. Why care.”
“Thank you, Your Highness, for your gift!” Jiang Ning immediately ordered the palace maid, “Wrap this guqin for me.”
The palace maid gently reminded, “This guqin is extremely valuable, Princess Consort must be careful.”
Jiang Ning was very happy, strolling around the room with her hands behind her back.
Concubine Jin said, “You don’t seem like a petty person, so happy for having a guqin.”
“I am a vulgar person, unlike Your Highness who is so detached from worldly desires. Therefore, I still like good things, especially valuable ones,” Jiang Ning laughed.
Concubine Jin said, “It’s strange that a vulgar person like you can make such delicious food.”
Jiang Ning approached, “Does Your Highness know what is in this bowl? Smell it, is it fragrant?”
“The moment you entered, I could smell the stench.”
“…Your Highness is really impressive.”
Jiang Ning opened the food box, took out a bowl of soup and a bowl of noodles from inside.
She poured the noodles into the soup, and then took out a small bowl of a black thing.
An intense smell instantly filled the room.
“What is this thing, the smell is so strong? Has it gone bad?” Concubine Jin covered her lips and nose with a handkerchief and asked frowning.
Jiang Ning picked a piece with chopsticks and held it to her mouth, “I just made it before I came, how dare I bring you spoiled food? Try it.”
Concubine Jin frowned and shook her head, “They all say food has color, aroma and taste, this thing of yours has neither color nor taste, and you still want me to eat it?”
If it were someone else other than Jiang Ning bringing this, Concubine Jin would have driven her away.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, “If you don’t believe me, I will take a bite first.”
“Whether you eat it or not, I certainly won’t eat this dirty thing.”
Jiang Ning didn’t explain further, putting it into her own mouth and chewing, “It’s so delicious.”
Concubine Jin frowned at her, “You’re not feeling nauseous?”
“I thought Your Highness was like-minded with me, never thought you are also a person who judges a book… no, food, by its cover. Does it mean if something looks unappetizing , it is not delicious? Touch your heart and tell me.”
“…What did you say?”
“I said, speak from your conscience.”
“Quickly take these things away, don’t stink up my room.” Concubine Jin waved her hand.
Jiang Ning laughed, “Just take a bite. If after eating, you still think it’s not delicious, I’ll go to the Imperial Kitchen immediately and cook a whole table of dishes for you.”
“A whole table?”
“Yes. All of which you have never seen or tasted before.”
Concubine Jin hesitated.
Jiang Ning picked up another chopstick-full and held it to her mouth, “Just one bite. Don’t judge it just because it looks unattractive, and be prejudiced..”
