Tao Xue clutched her head and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Not for nothing is she the Princess, with this we won't fear their obstacles."
Xiang Ying asked Tao Xue to call Lin Lingxiang from the next room over: "Let's eat something first; it's almost time for lunch anyway."
When Lin Lingxiang arrived, Xiang Ying divided the food.
Each person got a piece of marinated beef, two vegetable-filled pastries, and a water bladder to go with it.
The marinated beef was spicy, fragrant, and tasty. The three of them slurped noisily, unable to stop eating.
Xiang Ying, out of the corner of her eye, saw Lin Lingxiang take only a few bites and kept looking outside instead.
"Lingxiang, don't worry. They are deliberately starving us, they won't send anyone over," Xiang Ying said.
But Lin Lingxiang lowered her head: "Mmm... I'm just thinking, if they're troubling the Princess this way, would they do the same to the Crown Prince? I wonder if the Crown Prince has anything to drink, anything to eat."
