"What?"
Everyone seated there jolted in surprise and hurriedly put down their chopsticks.
Hadn't the two children just gone out to play after eating?
How had they ended up fighting?
"What happened?" Liu Wan asked Qing Da in a low voice as she walked.
Qing Da looked miserable. "You picked out a plate of good food from the kitchen and rewarded this old servant with it just now, didn't you? Big Yellow and I have been getting along quite well lately, and I forgot to prepare the dog's breakfast this morning, so I was going to get two bowls of rice and eat with Big Yellow."
"But before we could even start eating, the two princesses came by."
A quarter of an hour earlier.
Qing Da happily carried a plate of food and two bowls of rice over to Big Yellow's kennel.
He stroked Big Yellow's head and said with a grin, "Big Yellow, I picked you up outside and brought you home to raise. It was my fault for not feeding you this morning. I was busy working from the crack of dawn, but look-the Princess Consort picked out a plate of the tastiest food and rewarded us with it."
"She said the food served to the Ruler of Eastern Lin didn't need to taste so good. Food this delicious should go to us servants and dogs instead. Hehe, the Ruler of Eastern Lin doesn't even eat as well as you do! Here, Big Yellow, one bowl for you and one for me. No more being angry with me, all right?"
Big Yellow happily wagged its tail.
What they didn't know was that the aroma had drawn over the two little princesses.
Just as Qing Da and Big Yellow were about to dig in.
Xia Wanwan came running over
