Gluttonous Crown Princess

Gluttonous Crown Princess Chapter 20.2

All children love desserts to begin with, not to mention the aroma of the sweet soups in front of them was truly inviting and really stimulated one’s appetite.

The sixth princess tasted the milk soup with peach gum and dumplings first. As soon as she took a bite, her black deer-like eyes lit up. “Sister-in-law, this sweet soup is so delicious, I’ve never had such a tasty sweet soup!”

The peach gum was soft and glutinous, and the little snow-white dumplings were also very elastic in texture. When one bit down, one would find that there was even a sweet and sour mulberry fruit filling inside. At this time, take a sip of the milky sweet soup—fragrant, refreshing, and full of happiness.

Tao Ti propped her face in her hands and looked at her smilingly. “Try this ginger milk curd too.”

Actually, the sixth princess did not like pungent ingredients such as onions, ginger and garlic, but after tasting the milk soup with peach gum and dumplings, she had some trust in Tao Ti’s cooking skills. Then, seeing the white and tender gelled dessert, she couldn’t help but look forward to it.

Like fresh and delicate soft tofu, the sixth princess easily scooped out a spoonful. She put the spoon into her mouth, and the next moment, she was entirely stunned.

The tender, fresh and sweet milk curd melted instantly in her mouth. The ginger flavour was not too strong, just enough to bring a touch of spiciness in the sweetness, while the charming fragrance of roses mixed with the fragrance of milk. The dish was warm and comforting, and it felt as if her heart had also become warm and cosy.

“How is it?” Tao Ti asked.

“......” The sixth princess did not speak, and only buried her little head to eat mouth after mouth of the ginger milk curd in front of her.

From the windows came the faint sound of thunder; Tao Ti looked to the side and saw that the distant sky was dark, with several grey-blue clouds floating quietly.

She murmured softly, “It’s going to rain again.”

Just then, there was suddenly a small, tiny sound; she thought it was the rain, but when she turned to look, she realised that it was coming from the sixth princess.

She was still eating the bowl of ginger milk curd, but her head was buried very, very low, and her other hand was wiping her eyes from time to time.

Tao Ti sensed that something was not quite right and asked with concern, “Feifei, what’s wrong?”

The little girl did not look up; her voice was soft and cottony, with a tinge of tearfulness, “N-nothing.”

She’s crying?!
Tao Ti’s heart skipped a beat and she hurried to her side. She stared at the sixth princess’s childish face and asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t cry, just tell your sister-in-law if there’s something bothering you. I will figure it out with you, alright?”

Her gentle inquiry was like a small key that gently opened the sixth princess’s tightly closed heart.

In the slightly dim light, the sixth princess slowly raised her little head. Those jet-black eyes were like grapes stained with mist; two lines of tears slid down her cheeks, and the corners of her eyes were red.

This time, not only Tao Ti, but even the palace attendants standing at the side were all shocked—Wasn’t she still eating happily just now? Why is she crying all of a sudden?

The sixth princess’s nursemaid, who was on the side, was on tenterhooks, but because of Tao Ti’s status as Crown Princess, she did not dare to come forward to ask.

At a loss for what to do, Tao Ti coaxed “What’s wrong… don’t cry…”

Seeing that she was worried, the sixth princess quickly wiped away her tears and sniffled, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I’m fine. It’s just that the taste of this ginger milk curd made me think of my mother concubine …”

Tao Ti, internally, Hah??

As far as she knew, this ginger milk curd dish did not exist in this dynasty… So how did this dessert evoke the sixth princess’s longing for her mother? Could it be that the sixth princess’s biological mother was also a transmigrator?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. After all, with that lousy system of the underworld, perhaps another transmigrator had been sent to this dynasty.

Thinking that there might be a fellow member of the modern world in the harem, Tao Ti reached out and patted the sixth princess on the shoulder and comforted, “Alright, stop crying for now. I’ll take you back later to look for your mother concubine with you, alright?”

In an instant, all the air around them seemed to have frozen.
