Xiao Han didn’t give it much thought. Henry’s harsh words towards her were likely a result of her brother’s influence. She believed that her brother was genuinely concerned about her. “That’s right. Although I was a little unhappy a few days ago, I’m very happy now. I’ve decided to follow the princess and pursue a career!”

“Start a business?”

If he remembered correctly, his sister had always seen the princess as her love rival because of Henry. Why was she suddenly so close to the princess and even considering joining her in her career?

However, upon further reflection, Xiao Chen realized that his sister had already been hurt by Henry. It wasn’t entirely implausible for her to grow closer to the princess, whom she had once seen as a rival in love.

“That’s right! Brother, come over here and I’ll explain everything in detail!” Xiao Han didn’t want to return to her room when she noticed Xiao Chen’s genuine interest in her career. She took his hand and they both sat down in the living room.

Xiao Han cleared her throat. “Here’s the situation. When Henry invited me to the royal food manor, I accidentally met the beautiful, noble, and kind princess. Not only did she console me with great compassion, but she also invited me to try exquisite ancient delicacies.”

Xiao Chen smiled as he listened to his sister praising the princess. She seemed determined to emphasize how wonderful the princess was.

“And then? How did our intelligent and adorable Duchess and the gracious and kind Princess come up with the idea to start a business together?”

Xiao Han blushed a little as her brother complimented her intelligence and cuteness. “I’m not that smart and cute. I just shamelessly invited the princess out for afternoon tea frequently. Over time, we became more acquainted with each other!”

“Perhaps Her Highness was touched by my sincerity, so she began confiding in me about certain challenges that only girls face.” Xiao Han spoke, lowering her voice and leaning closer to Xiao Chen’s ear. “She even shared some embarrassing stories about the Third Prince and the Second Prince, mostly highlighting the Third Prince’s one-sided embarrassments, followed by merciless teasing from her own brother, the Second Prince.”

Xiao Chen observed his sister’s animated expression as she spoke and couldn’t help but mirror her smile. Even though she had shared so much, she still hadn’t revealed why she was collaborating with the princess. Xiao Chen didn’t press her for answers.

“Recently, Her Highness has obtained His Majesty’s approval to establish a branch of the royal gourmet manor. The reason why it’s being opened in this small manor is because there is a scarcity of skilled chefs capable of preparing ancient cultural delicacies. Her Highness is concerned about this,” Xiao Han explained, wearing a worried expression.

After a moment, Xiao Han gazed at Xiao Chen and added, “But I’m thinking about you too!”

Xiao Chen didn’t understand how this concerned him.

“The princess and I propose that we train new chefs ourselves. Although it will be challenging, as long as there are individuals willing to endure hardships and learn, perseverance will yield results!” Xiao Han looked at him expectantly. “The princess agrees with me. All we need to do now is find enough individuals to serve in the branch manor and learn about ancient cuisine. Brother, do you understand what I mean?!”

Xiao Chen comprehended her intentions. How could he not grasp his own sister’s thoughts? She was eyeing the dozens of talented guards under his command, hoping that he would allow them to learn the art of preparing ancient delicacies.

However, he had personally trained these guards to protect both himself and Xiao Han. They were far more formidable than his father’s guards. If they were to embark on learning ancient cuisine, who would protect him and Xiao Han?

“No,” Xiao Chen promptly declined her suggestion, but he redirected the conversation. “They can’t go themselves, but their families can.”

Xiao Han had already felt disappointed. Hearing her brother’s words, she appeared somewhat surprised. “Really? But will their families be willing?”

Xiao Han was unaware of the significance of ancient cuisine to the empire’s citizens. She only knew that it was delicious and could alleviate the suffering caused by mental strength upheavals. However, she had yet to grasp the true importance of ancient cuisine to the people of the empire.

Observing her sister’s unaware expression, Xiao Chen realized that she had yet to understand the profound meaning of ancient cuisine for the common people, and even for the entire empire..
