"So pretty, so pretty! Looks like... the little white cat in my aunt's courtyard!"
The sturdy girl scratched her head, seemingly unable to think of a better adjective, so she mentioned the most beautiful creature she had ever seen in her life, "my aunt's little white cat"!
Yun Chunnuan: "..."
Even though she had been receiving such exaggerated praise, Yun Chunnuan still stared at her warily. Furthermore, this flattery wasn't all that flattering.
Let's take it as a compliment, after all, she still hadn't seen what her original face looked like.
"Do you need something?"
"Wow! Your voice is so lovely too! Like... like the pet skylark my other aunt has!"
Yun Chunnuan: "..."
How many aunts do you have? And why does each have a pet?
This bizarre flattery wasn't to her liking at all.
However... the food in her hand was making Yun Chunnuan's mouth water. Clearly, it was just the simplest white porridge and egg, but every time her mom made it for her, she was too lazy to eat it and stayed in bed...
Thinking of her mom, Yun Chunnuan's eyes reddened.
The sturdy girl saw her red eyes, looking just like a startled little rabbit, and immediately panicked, "Don't cry! Did I scare you? It's just... I've never seen such a pretty young lady!"
She held out the porridge and eggs she was carrying, "The general asked me to make this white porridge for you! Also asked me to boil these eggs, they're quite precious! Eat up, don't cry, alright!"
Yun Chunnuan bit her lip, very hesitant about whether to eat.
If she eats and it's poisoned?
If she doesn't eat, she's afraid she'll soon starve to death...
Perhaps because the girl's attitude was friendly, between being poisoned and starving, Yun Chunnuan finally chose... to eat!
She took the bowl of porridge, peeled the egg, paying no heed to her image, and devoured it.
When she raised her head again, she noticed a tall figure at the door, not knowing how long he had been standing there.
He seemed to be curling his lips, smiling.
That fiery gaze allowed Yun Chunnuan to instantly identify who it was.
She nervously put down the bowl, shrank back to the corner of the bed, and looked over again, but the figure outside the door was already gone.
"Miss, do you still want these eggshells?"
Yun Chunnuan was looking at the door, brought back by the timid voice.
The girl with the red-black face, holding the eggshells she had just peeled on the edge of the bed, was looking at her with a hopeful gaze.
Yun Chunnuan shook her head, thinking the girl was going to clean up the trash.
But she saw the girl bring the eggshells to her mouth, nibbling off the bits of egg white she hadn't cleaned properly, as if intending to eat the eggshells as well.
Yun Chunnuan was stunned.
She didn't understand the situation in Bianliao Country, didn't know how precious eggs were.
After finishing, the girl wiped her mouth with her sleeve, saying shyly, "I was just thinking you were wasting it, not that I'm greedy! Miss... I mean, Princess! The General said for me to serve you, so if you need anything in the future, just let me know!"
Originally, she was quite unhappy about serving someone from the Central Plains.
Who knew the girl would look like a fairy, soft and fragrant, making people happy just to look at her!
Most importantly, being with her means getting to eat eggs!
So delicious!
First time eating at her size!
After finishing her words, Qiao'er left with the bowl, her cheerful silhouette made Yun Chunnuan almost doubt her life...
Are eggshells really that delicious?
Once Qiao'er returned to her room, several sturdy girls surrounded her.
"What's a Central Plains person look like? Are they beautiful?"
"Beautiful? I heard they look like bean sprouts!"
"Poor Qiao'er, I heard that Central Plains princess is fierce..."
They chirped around Qiao'er, talking.
Qiao'er smiled mysteriously, speaking joyfully, "You guys are wrong! That girl is so fair! As white as my aunt's little white cat! And her voice is as sweet as my other aunt's skylark!"
"Are you exaggerating? My mom said Central Plains people are like bean sprouts, skinny as a twig, one punch and I could knock two down!"
"Don't believe it! Wait until she wakes up tomorrow, then see for yourselves!"
