Regarding He Lienuo's sudden change of demeanor, the Old Emperor was a bit surprised, but he followed the thread of conversation and asked, "Oh? What have you heard?"
Lin Yuan's ears instinctively perked up, while Xia Zheng chuckled and casually played with her hand in his palm. However, internally, he let out a cold snort: You sly fox, finally making your move, huh?
He Lienuo flashed a mysterious smile and said, "Nothing but praise for Princess Pingxi's brilliance and intellect. But apart from that, the most talked about is Princess Pingxi's exceptional culinary skills. Tsk, tsk. Imagine me, the Crown Prince of a nation, traveling thousands of miles, and after hearing such praise, even making a special visit to Dong Tian to beg Princess Pingxi to cook a dish for me. Unfortunately, the Commandery Prince was too protective of his wife, and I couldn't get the chance. Truly, it was a regretful matter!"
