“Sister, you’re here too? What a coincidence!” Chi Yang walked forward and said.

Chi Yao secretly rolled her eyes. ‘Do you think I’ll believe you?’

Seeing that the three people whom he had invited at different times had arrived at the imperial garden, she knew that Chi Yang knew about her plan. She could only adapt to the situation now.

How could it be a coincidence? It was obvious that Chi Yang had found out about her secret letters and had deliberately come here!

“Hehe, you’re my younger sister. I just happened to invite my three older cousins and wanted to let them taste my recent cooking. Since you’re here, let’s go together!” Chi Yao pulled Chi Yang up affectionately. “Then make something in the small kitchen in Eldest Cousin Hall. It’ll be almost dinner time when we’re done.”

Xiao Yuancheng naturally agreed.

Xiao Yuanyou had no objections.

And Xiao Yuanqi was so happy that he was about to fly.

Chi Yang glanced at the bouncing Xiao Yuanqi. She knew that Xiao Yuanqi’s love for Chi Yao didn’t start from Chi Yao’s cooking…. Right?

As expected of the female lead, she was really something!

The First Prince’s residence looked much more normal than the Second Prince’s residence. At least it was consistent with the palace’s architectural style.

Chi Yang secretly nodded. Yes, among the three princes, Xiao Yuancheng was the only normal person.

…

It was obvious that this was not Chi Yao’s first time at the Eldest Prince’s place. She walked into the kitchen with ease and asked Chi Yang, “Sister, do you want to help?”

“I don’t know how to cook,” Chi Yang shook her head repeatedly. She was a good eater and knew how to cook many dishes. However, once she made them, they would taste… like something. It would be good if she didn’t burn down the kitchen.

“… I was born to be tired, unlike my sister who couldn’t even cook for ten years…” Chi Yao sighed and turned to enter the kitchen.

Hearing Chi Yao’s words, Xiao Yuancheng followed her in with a pained expression.

Chi Yang had lived in the countryside for ten years, how could she not know how to cook? Wasn’t this clearly saying that Chi Yang was putting on airs and lying?

Xiao Yuanyou turned his head and sized up the indifferent Chi Yang.

Did she not hear it, or did she not want to cause trouble?

Xiao Yuanyou only realized that he was overthinking things when Chi Yao placed the dishes on the table one by one.

After Chi Yang picked up her chopsticks and took a bite, she praised Chi Yao with a surprised expression, “I’ve never eaten such delicious dishes before. How can you be so outstanding, Sister?”

Chi Yao was surprised by Chi Yang’s compliment and said politely, “Younger Sister, you flatter me.”

“Unlike me, I can’t do anything well. I don’t even know how to cook the dishes I want to eat…” Chi Yang covered her eyes with a handkerchief and pretended to be sad as she spoke slowly.

Chi Yao thought, ‘This tone sounds so familiar,’

Before Chi Yao could speak, Xiao Yuanqi said, “Sister Yangyang, don’t be sad. Sister Ah-Yao is very good at cooking. You can ask her to cook for you!”

Mother said that when a friend is sad, they need to be comforted.

Chi Yang originally wanted to annoy Chi Yao, but now she seemed to be able to order Chi Yao around.

She really had to thank Xiao Yuanqi, her third cousin!

“Really? Wouldn’t that be too troublesome?” Chi Yang blinked at Chi Yao and asked.

Xiao Yuanqi had already said it out loud. Was she going to slap herself in the face and take back her words?

Chi Yao smiled magnanimously. “Of course not. What do you want to eat, Sister Yangyang?”

“Then I won’t hold back,” Chi Yang smiled shyly and said seriously, “I want to eat shredded chicken, mixed tofu, mixed diced meat, crab in wine sauce, fish in wine sauce, and crab meat in wine sauce.”

Chi Yao’s face fell when she heard Chi Yang list the dishes in one breath. So she was waiting for her to fall for the trap!
