However, because I ate slowly, I realized that this was different from ordinary snacks. It actually contained some medicinal herbs that replenished qi and blood.

She praised, "As expected of Imperial Physician Lin's granddaughter, even her desserts are unique. I've been feeling restless lately, and the court physician said I was suffering from both Qi and blood deficiency. He even prescribed me a bitter medicine soup that nearly made me vomit. But she was so clever, putting wolfberries and red dates in the desserts. They're sweet, sticky, and delicious! They're truly delicious!"

Zhan Yan also took a piece and chewed it carefully. He could imagine her busy figure in the small kitchen, and felt inexplicably distressed.

After the eldest princess finished eating one piece, she wanted to eat another one.

But seeing Zhan Yihou's expression of indifference, he couldn't help but ask, "Why? You don't think it tastes good?"

He answered without hesitation: "If your highness thinks it's delicious, you can send someone to the Marquis' Mansion to learn the cooking skills from my wife. Once she learns, you can eat it every day!"

The eldest princess was stunned at first, then she covered her mouth and laughed.

She almost laughed to tears. She pinched her waist and joked, "Zhan Yan, you're just worried that I'll tire your young wife. You've only been married for a few days, and you're already thinking about her so much. You're so funny!"

Zhan Yan explained seriously, "Your Highness, she is Doctor Lin's most precious granddaughter. I have a hidden illness, and marrying her to me has already caused her great injustice. How can I not pamper her?"

The eldest princess subconsciously asked, "Do you treat her as a daughter-in-law or a junior?"

Zhan Yan was suddenly stunned, and subconsciously crushed the snack in his palm.

Remembering that she called him uncle when she was a child, he hesitated for a long time with a complicated expression, and then murmured: "Spoil her as a daughter. She is the same age as Yu'er. She has suffered a great injustice by marrying a disabled person like me. After all, I still have to let her go!"

The eldest princess chuckled and said meaningfully, "I hope you'll be willing to let her go when the time comes. It's rare that she's thoughtful enough to send me such delicious pastries, so I naturally deserve a generous reward!"

She called over her personal maid and instructed her in a serious tone, "Pass on this princess's oral order. Marquis Zhan Yi's wife, Lin Yiwan, is virtuous and skillful, and she is being rewarded with two sets of gold headpieces and various jewelry!"

Zhan Yihou suddenly said, "Gold jewelry is too tacky. I don't think the little girl would like to wear it often!"

The eldest princess glared at him resentfully. "I didn't expect you to be such a righteous warrior. It's fine if you want a reward for your own little girl, but you even complain that what I gave you is too tacky. I have a set of priceless ruby ​​headpieces. Why don't you give them to her as well?"

He immediately stood up, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Princess!"

The eldest princess picked up a chess piece and threw it at him: "If the emperor saw you like this, he would be horrified. I've proposed so many noble ladies to you before, and you rejected them all so bluntly. Now you're actually interested in this little girl who accidentally stumbled into the Marquis' Mansion!"

Zhan Yihou answered seriously: "I am doing this to repay Doctor Lin for saving my life!"

The eldest princess didn't believe his excuses. There were many ways to repay a favor. She didn't have to marry his granddaughter and protect her like a treasure.

Forget it, I won’t argue with him. It’s just a ruby ​​headdress, so I’ll just give it to her. She won’t wear it anyway, and it will just gather dust in the warehouse. I might as well give it to the little girl, it will definitely be lively and vivid.
