At this time, the old nanny was carrying the snack box given by Chen Zhilan to report to the eldest princess, but unexpectedly she was bumped into by the little maid who was walking towards her with her head lowered.

The food box in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, and she trembled all over with fright.

She angrily scolded: "Where did this reckless person come from? You knocked over the box of snacks that someone gave to the princess. Are you trying to kill yourself?"

The little maidservant hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Ma'am, I didn't mean it. I'm new here and don't have good manners. Please don't be angry!"

Just as the old nanny was about to lecture her a few more times, she heard someone urging her not far away: "Nanny, I heard that these snacks were sent by the wife of Marquis Zhan Yi. The eldest princess ordered them to be sent over quickly. She wants Marquis Zhan Yi to taste them together!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zi'er had replaced the food box without anyone noticing.

The old lady didn't bother to punish her anymore. Seeing that the food box was fine, she hurried away.

Zi'er let out a long sigh and subconsciously picked up the food box and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she met Ying Yi's cold eyes: "Zi Er, you are so bold that you actually set your sights on the princess's mansion?"

Zi'er frowned and glared at him: "What can I do? It's that vicious woman Chen Zhilan who is trying to frame Madam. I can only take this risk!"

She paused and then asked in a low voice, "Since you have discovered my whereabouts, then the Marquis must also know it, right?"

Ying nodded: "How else could you have successfully exchanged the snack box? Do you think you are so skilled that you can hide it from all the secret guards in the Princess's Mansion?"

Zi'er was covered in cold sweat. She was a little careless.

She asked why there was not even a shadow of a secret guard around, and she thought it was God helping her.

She said with a stiff face: "Thank you!"

Ying Yi asked back without hesitation: "That's it? Don't you have to show some respect to me? Do you know that I almost broke my legs running to lure them away?"

Zi'er hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Okay, when we get back home, I'll bake a sweet potato for you myself!"

He shook his head: "No, I don't want roasted sweet potatoes. Why don't you just embroider a purse for me?"

Zi'er raised her hand and knocked on his forehead. "You wish! My hand is used to hold a sword, and you want me to hold an embroidery needle. Isn't that putting too much pressure on me? Do you want to poke holes in my hand? You're so vicious!"

Ying felt the pain and was about to say something when he saw her fly away.

He murmured aggrievedly: "Even if you can't embroider, just buy me one. After all, it's a gift from you, I will like it!"

Looking at her back, he felt infinite melancholy.

In the pavilion of Feishuangju, the eldest princess in a white brocade dress was playing chess with the calm and focused Zhan Yihou.

She narrowed her narrow eyes and said, "I've eaten another one of your pieces, Zhan Yan. You seem a little absent-minded today!"

Zhan Yihou said calmly: "It's not that I'm absent-minded, it's just that the eldest princess's chess skills have really improved!"

The eldest princess glared at him and said, "Don't you know how powerful I am? In the past, I couldn't even take five steps under your hand, let alone eat one of your pieces!"

Zhan Yan did not answer, but kept looking up at the food box next to him.

The princess saw what was happening, and she threw away the chess piece and said, "Forget it. I'm a little hungry, so I'll invite Marquis Zhan Yi to taste the snacks your wife sent me!"

She ordered the nanny to open the food box, revealing the exquisitely crafted snacks.

The eldest princess reached out and took a piece, put it to her mouth and took a small bite elegantly.

She was of noble status, so naturally she couldn't eat as voraciously as ordinary people.
