Xue Fuyao briefly recounted what had happened then. Of course, she left out the part she had played, giving only a general outline-and mentioning that the fish in the Ming Household's rear garden were truly delicious, and she wanted to eat them again.
At the mention of fish, Xue Fuyao could not help licking the corner of her lips, as though savoring the taste of yesterday's fish.
They looked like the most ordinary koi, so how could they taste so good? It wasn't as though I'd never eaten koi before. Could it be because they lived in a different environment?
With that thought, Xue Fuyao planned to find some time to ask Ming Cen exactly how his household raised its fish. She intended to raise a batch herself; having some to satisfy her cravings now and then would be nice.
After breakfast, a Wutong Valley maid suddenly knocked on Xue Fuyao's door. "Fairy Fuyao, Princess Yanran is outside. She says she's your friend."
"Princess Yanran? Lin Yanran?"
Xue Fuyao frowned at the name. After a long moment, she said, "She isn't my friend. Tell her to go back."
Hearing her answer, the maid looked troubled and turned a pleading gaze on Xue Fuyao. "Fairy, please go take a look yourself. I beg you."
At the maid's expression, Xue Fuyao paused, a flicker of distraction passing through her eyes. She had not softened; she had merely recalled something from her previous life.
She looked at the maid and asked, "Who is Lin Yanran's father?"
The maid paused at Xue Fuyao's question, then answered, "Princess Yanran's father is the Regent of the Crimson Feather Dynasty."
At that, she nodded inwardly. Her guess had been right: Lin Yanran was indeed the daughter of the Crimson Feather Dynasty's Regent. In that case, that matter
