162 Even if the two of them did not mind such ordinary food, how could the princess let her guests eat such food?

Especially the first meal they had at the Princess's Mansion.

"Princess." An urgent call came from far away.

The eldest princess responded.

A pretty girl ran in. She looked about the same age as the eldest princess.

When she came in, she saw Yu Jiahe and Xie Miner. She showed a hint of displeasure on her face, but soon changed her expression and looked at the princess in confusion, "Princess, did you bring two guests here?"

Yu Jiahe looked at the woman in front of her whose identity she didn't know and felt a little surprised. She was questioning the eldest princess.

In her previous life, she didn't have the chance to meet the eldest princess, so naturally she didn't know that there was this woman following her.

The eldest princess seemed to have gotten used to getting along with her like this, without any displeasure, and spoke softly, "They are here to help the royal grandmother with her illness. Since our home is far away, I will take them in for a while."

The woman gave them a friendly smile and said, "Hello, you can call me Ding Ding."

The eldest princess also explained, "She and I grew up together. You should all get to know each other. We will inevitably meet frequently in the next few days."

Ding Ding pouted suddenly, "Princess, just now the kitchen staff told me to prepare a few more dishes, but you also know that we don't have much money in our house. Although there are a lot of rewards that look very dazzling, we dare not take them out to exchange for money. And Princess, you have to be careful in making friends. You also know that you are of noble status, so don't open up to others easily. After all, you can only know a person's face but not his heart. It would be bad if someone did bad things outside in your name. I know you are kind, but I am doing this for your own good."

Everything the woman said had a meaningful meaning.

The princess waved her hand nonchalantly, "They both have good intentions, there won't be any problem. Although our family is a little tight on money, it shouldn't be so tight that we can't even cook a meal, right?"

The woman touched her lips with some sadness, "Princess, in order to avoid waste, the things in the princess's mansion are rationed every day, and there is no surplus."

"Then have someone go out and buy it now."

"If I go out to buy it now, I'm afraid it will take time, so I might as well just eat it."

Yu Jiahe was really a little hungry, and she wasn't very particular, "Ding Ding is right, we eat whatever we want, we don't care."

The princess looked at them apologetically and said, "Then heat up the dishes you just brought down and serve them up. Cook three bowls of the bird's nest that my mother gave me."

Yu Jiahe really didn't expect that someone as noble as the princess would live such a tight life.

"But you don't eat that thing on weekdays, so I sold it for silver and then used it to give out porridge." The woman explained.

Since there was no bird's nest left, the princess had no choice but to say, "Forget it. Go back and sell some of my jewelry so that we can prepare a good meal tomorrow."

The woman said in panic, "How can that be possible!"

After saying this, she felt that there was something wrong with her tone and quickly explained softly, "What I mean is that the princess doesn't have many jewelry to begin with. If I sell some more, there will be even fewer accessories."

The princess shook her head nonchalantly, "Given my status, who would dare to laugh at me? Even if I don't wear makeup, they will still praise me to the sky."

"Your Highness is naturally beautiful, so naturally she is excellent."

Ding Ding walked out.

Although she felt that the way the two of them got along was a little strange, the person in front of her was the Princess after all. Yu Jiahe thought that maybe this was their daily way of getting along, so she didn't say much. However, that woman made her feel uncomfortable. When she looked at you, you felt like you were being stared at.

Maybe it's just my illusion.

Yu Jiahe waited quietly for the food to be served.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two." The eldest princess was really embarrassed.

Over the years, she has never held a banquet and rarely attended gatherings at other people's houses because she has no money to invite guests or give gifts.

However, because she rarely attends parties, others think she doesn't like to interact with people.

Although some people may misunderstand me, it is good to be able to have peace of mind.

Yu Jiahe checked the food on the table and found nothing wrong.

The princess then began to eat with peace of mind.

The food had been reheated so many times that it tasted a bit bad. Yu Jiahe found it tasteless, but the eldest princess found it very sweet.

After dinner, Yu Jiahe and Xie Miner returned to their room.

Xie Min'er collapsed on the bed. "I've been worried all day, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Yu Jiahe sat aside and said, "This Princess's Mansion is really strange."

Xie Min'er agreed with what you said, "Especially the woman named Ding Ding. She had no sense of propriety when she spoke to the princess. And it seemed that she was very resistant to the two of us and was particularly unwilling for the two of us to stay in the princess's mansion."

"I don't know what her identity is."

"She shouldn't be anyone's daughter. I remember hearing that the eldest princess was almost killed by an assassin when she was a child. Fortunately, her wet nurse saved her, so she brought the wet nurse's daughter into the palace. Maybe Ding Ding is her wet nurse's daughter." Xie Min'er made a bold guess.

After hearing what Xie Min'er said, Yu Jiahe felt that maybe it was true. If Ding Ding was really the daughter of the eldest princess's wet nurse, and her mother died to save her, she would naturally be more tolerant of the daughter of her savior.

"I don't know how long we two will live here?" Xie Miner's enthusiasm for promoting Princess Zhan's clothes has been lost. She feels a little depressed here. It is better to stay at home. However, now that she has come to the princess's mansion, she can only listen to the eldest princess as to when she can go back.

"Then I'll work hard and try to find out how the poison was administered as soon as possible."

Xie Min'er patted Yu Jiahe's shoulder and said, "I'm just complaining casually. Don't feel pressured. If you really can't find the reason, then we can go and tell the princess. I believe she won't make things difficult for us."

Yu Jiahe nodded. The eldest princess seemed to have a very good personality and would not make things difficult for others. However, it was hard to say. In short, it would be best if the problem could be resolved perfectly.

When the two of them had rested enough, they picked up their pens and wrote a letter. Their families knew they were here for medical treatment, so writing a letter back to let them know they were safe would put their minds at ease.
