Fortunately, Ming Zhiyan had solved this problem. He said lightly, “You can still eat these things?
When he said this, Princess Anning also felt that her stomach was very full. She had eaten a lot of food at the banquet just now. She was now a little regretful. If she had known, she would not have eaten so much just now.
However, she still had to eat delicious food even if she was full. She said with certainty, “I can eat it! I’ll only eat one! The rest will be for Ah Min and the others!”
Ah Min was her maid.
Ming Zhiyan refused flatly, “No, you can go back if you want to eat. I’ll ask the royal chef to cook for you. You can eat whatever you want.”
Princess Anning was immediately angered to tears by this cold cousin. She knew that her Imperial Father listened to this cousin a lot. If her cousin did not let her eat, she really could not eat. Thus, she complained to Jian Qingqing, ‘Qingqing, look at Cousin, he’s so unreasonable!”
Jian Qingqing did not have any other choice. She quickly comforted him, “It’s okay. He’s doing this for your own good. The food outside is usually not very clean. You might get diarrhea if you eat it.”
Princess Anning still did not quite believe it. She asked doubtfully, “Really? Then why can they eat it?”
Jian Qingqing explained, “It’s because they are used to these things. After eating them, they will naturally be fine. But you have never eaten these things, so your stomach may not be able to take it. We can just go and have some fun. Also, there is nothing good to eat there. It can’t be compared to the food in the palace.”
“Okay!” Princess Anning was extremely disappointed. However, although she could not eat, there were so many fun things to do. “Then let’s go play!”
Jian Qingqing let out a sigh of relief. As long as she did not eat anything, it did not matter how she played. She immediately followed. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the street was crowded with people. If she was not careful, she would be separated by the crowd, so she could not relax for a moment and had to follow closely behind.
She quickly pulled on Princess Anning’s sleeve and said, “Don’t let go of my hand. Be careful not to get lost.”
There were too many people on the street. Princess Anning did not dare to be careless and quickly grabbed her hand tightly.
Jian Qingqing also casually took Ming Zhiyan’s hand and said, “Let’s hold hands, or we’ll be easily scattered by the crowd later.”
Ming Zhiyan moved his fingers a little uncomfortably. He originally wanted to say that he would follow closely and not lose them, but when his eyes fell on their tightly clasped hands, he did not say anything. However, a blush crept up the tip of her ears.
Jian Qingqing pretended to know nothing on the surface, but she laughed secretly in her heart.
They followed Princess Anning. Wherever she went, they would go.
Everything Princess Anning saw was new. Every two steps, she would stop to take a look. She also liked to run to places with many people and did not find it crowded.
Not long after, Jian Qingqing was covered in sweat. She was holding hands with someone and could not even wipe her sweat.
At this moment, a hand reached over and wiped the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief.
She looked at the slender fingers with well-defined joints and smiled at Ming
Zhiyan. She said in a tender voice, “Thank you, Brother Ming!’
Ming Zhiyan’s face was a little red, and he said softly, “You’re welcome,”
Princess Anning was still looking at the mud man on the stall in front of her with full concentration and was completely unaware of the situation of the two people behind her.
Jian Qingqing also glanced at the mud man and whispered to Ming Zhiyan, “I still have the one you made for me in my room. It’s on the bedside table I can see it the moment I open my eyes..”
