Chapter 199: A Purse of Snacks (2) (1/2)

Chu Lian hadn’t seen Royal Princess Duanjia for quite a few days, so it was a pleasant surprise to run into her here.

She was about to speak when she noticed Royal Princess Duanjia looking her up and down with a measuring gaze. Finally, the princess’s gaze landed on the remains of the half-eaten mooncake in her left hand. The princess blinked and asked, “Chu Liu, what are you eating?”

The moment she heard that, Chu Lian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She held up the remaining mooncake in her hand and replied honestly, “This is a type of snack I made earlier; it’s called mooncake.”

“Mooncake? It sounds really tasty. Chu Liu, how could you bring snacks into the palace? Why didn’t you bring some for me, too?!” Royal Princess Duanjia’s cheeks puffed up as she questioned her friend.

Chu Lian replied very intelligently with an ‘uhhhh’. She really didn’t know how to deal with Royal Princess Duanjia.

Suddenly, Royal Princess Duanjia held out an open palm in front of her face.

Chu Lian stared at Princess Duanjia’s face in befuddlement before looking at her open palm. “Princess?”

“What are you blanking out for? Hand over all your food!”

Chu Lian: ……

“Princess, you were a little too late. I just finished everything; there’s only this half left…”

Chu Lian pressed a hand against her forehead. Why were the people around her such gluttons for food?! It was just a simple snack, so why were there waves of people trying to snatch it away from her? Did they really have to be this way?!

Royal Princess Duanjia thought for a moment before harrumphing in her uniquely tsundere manner. “Well, if you’ve only got that half left, then so be it. I just want a small taste first. You’ll make more for me later anyway, right?”

Chu Lian stared at her. This half was only a half because she’d eaten the rest already. Her saliva was already on it…

In the end, Chu Lian didn’t have any other choice but to hand it over. “If Royal Princess Duanjia would like more, there’s still one more box of it that my maidservants are carrying.”

Royal Princess Duanjia tossed the piece of mooncake into her mouth without any hesitation. She chewed it for a bit before her eyes lit up. “Chu Liu, this ‘mooncake’ is a lot tastier than those round cakes!”
