The concubine was charming and alluring, and the ruthless prince coaxed her day and night.

Chapter 37 Promoting Double-Skin Milk

Xu Jiaojiao's gaze was fixed on Lady Yongkang, her eyes cold and aggressive.

After a moment, she parted her red lips slightly: "Madam, do you know that even a rabbit will bite when cornered? If Consort Zheng hadn't deliberately made things difficult for me, I wouldn't have taken action against her. I advise you not to push things too far..."

Xu Jiaojiao paused, her smile chilling: "A common man's anger can spill blood five steps away. I am a helpless and worthless person. I just don't know if Consort Zheng and Madam have the guts to risk their lives for me?"

Lady Yongkang felt a chill run down her spine, making her inexplicably terrified and somewhat afraid of Xu Jiaojiao's gaze.

He's insane! This guy is a madman!

We must never leave such a threat around Tong'er!

Originally, she only intended to give Xu Jiaojiao a warning and make her behave herself in the future.

Now it seems she needs to get rid of Xu Jiaojiao as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, Lady Yongkang gave Lady Cheng a look, and the two of them followed aggressively, only to leave in a disheveled and flustered state.

Seeing the two people's slightly disordered steps and the maidservants jogging behind them, Xu Jiaojiao gave a mocking sneer and withdrew her gaze.

I thought they were something special, but it turns out they're just a paper tiger, so easily frightened.

After the two left, Jia Rong pouted and said, "So noisy."

Zheng Antong's attempt to frame her backfired, a fact known to all. How could Lady Yongkang have the audacity to be so aggressive here?

She leaned closer to Xu Jiaojiao mysteriously: "Sister Jiaojiao, Prince Chen said you're weak and helpless, and that you're easily bullied, but it doesn't seem like that to me~"

Xu Jiaojiao's eyes darted around, and she winked mischievously: "Compared to Your Highness, I am naturally weak and helpless, and I am easily bullied. Besides, I was just trying to scare them. Who knew they would be so easily frightened?"

Jia Rong smiled teasingly.

Compared to Lady Yongkang and Lady Cheng, Xu Jiaojiao, who appears fierce on the surface, is indeed much more adorable.

Thinking that there were more important things to do today, Jia Rong waved his hand: "Let's not talk about those two unlucky people. Sister Jiao Jiao, did you bring everything we agreed on yesterday?"

Xu Jiaojiao nodded slightly: "Yes, they're all in the food box in Lianye's hand."

Jia Rong raised an eyebrow, his eyes sparkling: "Alright! Let's find a crowded place to sit!"

Seeing her eagerness, Xu Jiaojiao chuckled and said, "Okay."

As the two walked and looked around, they came across a group of young women and ladies gathered near a flowerbed in full bloom.

"That lady in the brocade robe with the cloud and bead pattern and the peacock pattern is my... uh... that lady is the eldest princess! She likes cold drinks just like me, let's go, let's go to her place!"

When Jia Rong saw the Princess, he excitedly pulled Xu Jiaojiao forward.

This was the sixth time Jia Rong had let something slip. Xu Jiaojiao pretended not to know, and couldn't help but smile.

As they approached, the young women and ladies glanced at Xu Jiaojiao, their eyes mostly filled with unfamiliarity. Some, seeing Xu Jiaojiao's elegant attire, politely nodded slightly as a greeting.

Xu Jiaojiao knew that if she rashly approached these people to chat, they might think she was crazy or even avoid her altogether. So last night, she told Jia Rong that they had to find a way to attract the attention of these important people and get them to come and ask her questions.

She gave Jia Rong a look, and he understood.

The two of them found a conspicuous stone bench and sat down, carrying lotus leaves.

Lianye placed the food box on the table, then opened it and took out a small jar of taro balls, a small jar of red beans, a small jar of milk, some fresh fruit, and a small jar of double-skin milk.

The bottom of the food container was lined with crushed ice, so the food was still icy cold when it was taken out.

Another young lady from a prominent family, sitting at the same table, was curious and stared intently at the small jars.

Lianye then took out a small, exquisite porcelain bowl from the food box, and scooped out a spoonful of milk, a spoonful of taro balls, and a spoonful of red beans, handing them to Xu Jiaojiao.

A faint, sweet aroma wafted into my nose, and for some reason, it made me feel that this dish looked delicious.

The young lady from the noble family subconsciously swallowed.

Strange, I'm not usually a person who craves food, so why do I feel like eating something today?

After a slight hesitation, seeing Xu Jiaojiao's contented expression, the young lady from the aristocratic family couldn't help but ask, "Is that milk tea you're drinking?"

Xu Jiaojiao nodded slightly: "Yes, the sun is strong today, and I especially like to have a cold drink, so I asked the maid to bring some with me."

As she spoke, she took another bite and looked at the other person very sincerely: "Would you like to try it? I had the maid put a layer of ice in the food box, it tastes very refreshing and cools you down."

The young lady from the aristocratic family was about to refuse, but her mouth moved faster than her brain: "Okay!"

Xu Jiaojiao smiled gently: "Lotus leaf!"

I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

In my memory, the women of these aristocratic families were mostly reserved and would not easily ask for food.

In order to ensure success, Xu Jiaojiao had Lianye brew rose-scented dew before leaving the mansion in the morning and put it in the food box. So when the food box was opened, a faint fragrance would waft out.

I did this to increase the success rate, and it actually worked!

Xu Jiaojiao's eyes became much more eager.

She took the taro ball and red bean milk tea from Lianye's hand and handed it to the girl in front of her: "Here, try it, and get more if you like it~"

As the milk tea drew closer, its subtle aroma became more pronounced.

The young lady from the aristocratic family didn't refuse any longer and accepted it generously: "Thank you!"

She scooped up a spoonful, took a small sip, and her eyes lit up. She then immediately scooped up another spoonful.

This spoonful was significantly more than the first spoonful.

"Delicious! I've never had such delicious milk tea before! What are those soft and bouncy little balls in it?"

The young lady's delighted voice immediately attracted the attention of several people nearby, including the eldest princess.

Xu Jiaojiao opened the small jar containing taro balls: "These are called taro balls, and they are made from taro."

The eldest princess, finding it intriguing, stepped forward and asked, "May I have a bowl too?"

Xu Jiaojiao immediately stood up and bowed: "Greetings, Princess. Of course, it is permissible."

She looked at Jia Rong, who was already eager to take the bowl, and gave a slight smile: "Jimu, serve the princess a bowl."

Jia Rong immediately opened the food box and took out a small bowl.

The princess was taken aback when she saw the milk tea with a small bowl of taro balls piled up in front of her.

Xu Jiaojiao was both amused and exasperated: "Your Highness, would you like to try?"

The princess nodded slightly and took a spoonful to taste.

After a moment, she put down her spoon: "It is indeed delicious, but I have never heard of taro balls before."

Xu Jiaojiao then took out a bowl of double-skin milk from the food box and handed it to the princess: "This is called double-skin milk. It's the same as taro balls. I bought it from a tea shop on Pingwu Street in the east of the city."

The speaker meant no harm, but the listeners took it to heart, and the onlookers all remembered it.

The princess took another bite of the double-skin milk pudding and nodded repeatedly: "Not bad."

On one side, Xu Jiaojiao was focused on promoting her double-skin milk pudding and taro balls. On the other side, Lady Yongkang, seeing this scene from afar, darkened her eyes and suddenly narrowed them with ill intent…
