Wan Ning was speechless for a moment. This shortbread was given to her by Ziheng when she got off the carriage. But when she returned to Xiang Wanxuan and heard Shuiyue and Zhuzi discussing the delicious shortbread they had eaten in Beiqi before, she gave the shortbread to them.

"Maybe it's because the weather is cold. She's getting hungry faster and starting to gain weight for the winter. The princess is going to become a big fat girl." He gestured with his hands, making Zhu Ying laugh again with tears still hanging on her face. Seeing that her mood had returned to normal, he was ready to say goodbye: "It's getting late, you should go to bed soon."

When she returned to her room, she lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Perhaps after having a good meal and a good drink, she began to have other thoughts. She was also trying to figure out why she was so angry that she refused to eat the wontons. Her mind was full of the scene where Ziheng subconsciously took the wontons and removed the chopped green onions from the bowl, trying to reconstruct her inexplicable jealousy bit by bit.

After reviewing the situation, she completely figured out that she ate green onions but Ziheng didn't know; not only did he not know, but he also deliberately removed the green onions from her bowl. It must be that there must be someone around him who didn't eat green onions, and Ziheng would help her remove the green onions. He could form his own subconscious actions, even if the person around him had changed to Wan Ning, he still kept the previous habit. Wan Ning didn't dare to think further, he must have mistaken her for someone else.

She was afraid that he had never taken her existence seriously, and only regarded her as the "her" in the past. She was afraid that his previous feelings were too unforgettable for him.

But no matter which situation it is, it is hard for Wan Ning to accept it now. What makes it even more difficult for her to understand is: what kind of identity does she have to be qualified to lose her composure over such a thing?

Because of insomnia, Ning woke up at noon the next day. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw several people sitting beside her. She was so scared that she screamed and jumped up. She rubbed her eyes in shock and saw that it was Zhu Zi who moved a chair to the bedside, holding her face with both hands and looking at her intently.

"Zhu Zi, you scared me to death." Wan Ning patted her chest and complained, "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

"Princess, it's late now, it's time for lunch." Zhu Zi stood up and helped Wan Ning down from the bed, while talking about what happened in the morning with great interest: "Sister Zhu Ying has asked someone to send the quilt back to the Liu family with drums and gongs. I heard that Master Liu was very upset. Now Liu Qingyu can't leave the Liu family for a year. She deserves it for what she did!"

Wan Ning also laughed out loud. If she hadn't been unable to get out of bed in the morning, she really wanted to see Liu Qingyu's embarrassing look with her own eyes. But it didn't matter. This also helped Liu Qingquan vent his anger. He would definitely describe it vividly the next time they met.

"She really deserves it. I hope she will behave herself in the future. If she provokes us again, there will be something waiting for her!" The two smiled at each other.

At this time, Zhu Zi hugged Wan Ning's clothes, stared at her expectantly, and reminded her: "Princess, please put on your clothes quickly. Have you forgotten what we are going to do today?"

"whats the matter?"

"Today is the second meeting of our Lan Fei Memorial Event Project Group. You didn't forget it, did you? We have prepared a lot of things for your approval."

Seeing her expectant look, Wan Ning pretended to suddenly remember something and patted her head, then quickly picked up her clothes and put them on: "Look at my head, let's go, I'll take you to do something interesting after dinner."

"Eggs fried with green onions, tofu with green onions, chicken wings braised with green onions..." Standing in front of the dining table and finding it full of dishes made with lush green onions, Wan Ning couldn't help but shudder. She looked at everyone with a puzzled look on her face, and finally set her sights on Wan Tao who was walking over with the braised lamb with green onions. She asked her doubts, "Where did you hide the grandma who sells green onions? If you didn't bring the grandma who sells green onions with you, I wouldn't believe it for today's dishes."

Wan Tao smiled, put the dishes in her hands in order, handed her the chopsticks and asked her to taste it, and joked, "I heard that the princess likes green onions, so I added more green onions to the dishes today."

Wan Ning quickly swallowed the scallion and tofu in her mouth: "I eat scallions, but I don't like them. Even if I like them, I wouldn't put them in every dish. Look, there are huge amounts of scallions in every dish, who can stand that?" After she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong. She had only told Ziheng about it, so how come everyone knew about it today?

"The old lady selling onions is not hiding in Xiang Wan Xuan. If she is hiding, she is probably hiding in the emperor's palace. This morning, the emperor sent people to deliver all kinds of onions, small onions and big onions. The big ones are as tall as this." Shuiyue, who was passing by, gestured with her hand, "They are really taller than me. Princess, please go to the kitchen and take a look. There is almost no room left. You have to finish eating quickly."

Wan Ning showed an expression of disbelief and tentatively glanced at the kitchen. It was indeed as green as they said. I was afraid that there was no place to eat green onions except Xiang Wanxuan today. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "Mad!"

"Princess, please have your meal. The meals in the near future may all be related to onions!" Shuiyue took Le Yan's arm and led her to the dining table.

"The emperor not only sent these, he also sent more than a dozen new quilts and charcoal for the winter. This turmoil was also caused by the quilt. When the emperor learned that we returned it, he specially sent new ones." Wan Tao added on behalf of the emperor.

Wan Ning now understood his good intentions and felt a little touched, but she just ate in silence and quickly changed the topic of lunch to other places.

Just as lunch was about to be finished, Mu Xiu happened to appear at the door and was immediately invited in. He was also a member of the project team, and today he had an appointment to hold a project launch meeting at Xiang Wanxuan to synchronize the information everyone had inquired about and discuss the follow-up matters.

"Am I here early?" Mu Xiu walked in by himself and stood beside Wan Ning.

"Not too early, not too early. We just finished eating and just need to clean up. Please wait a little longer." Wan Ning said as she stood up to help clean up the dishes. As she spoke, Mu Xiu also saw the remaining green onions on the plate and joked, "I heard that it's hard to find a green onion in the entire palace today. I didn't expect that they were all in Xiang Wanxuan!"

Wan Ning rolled her eyes at him and said, "If Prince Mu Xiu needs it, you can bring more back later. Now let's move to the front hall and talk about business." After that, she pulled him into another room as if escaping.

There was an abandoned screen in the middle of the room, which was now transformed into a whiteboard with replaceable white paper pasted in the middle. Wan Ning pulled it over and placed it in the middle, so that it would be convenient to write something on it so that everyone could see it clearly. Several people sat together, staring at Wan Ning seriously, closing the door and standing in the middle, with the same serious expression on their faces.

"Ahem, I declare the second meeting of the 'Lan Fei Memorial Event' officially open. Let us welcome the specially invited assistance - Prince Mu Xiu, applause -"
