Chapter 438: First enjoy the flowers, then go for barbecue

Outside the palace.

Chief Steward Lin looked at the stewards and palace maids standing outside the palace and nodded with satisfaction.

He shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Princess, and Your Majesty the Prince Consort have arrived..."

Steward He and the others knelt and kowtowed, saying, "Your servants and servants respectfully welcome the Emperor and the Empress. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, and a thousand years, ...

"Welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Royal Highness the Prince Consort..."

"Everyone, get up!"

Xiao Chengjin helped Jiang Ruo get off the carriage.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Steward He and the others stood up and stood aside, observing the other's expressions.

Chief Steward Lin said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the flowers in the palace are in full bloom right now, perfect for flower viewing."

"Please accompany the Queen for a walk."

Sheng Yunshao carefully supported Princess Anran, and gave Xiao Chengjin a few sharp eyes from time to time.

Don’t you know what’s going on with your aunt?

You come to the palace to appreciate the flowers. The capital city can’t accommodate you anymore.

Xiao Chengjin received the glare and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Father-in-law, please help Auntie to rest for a while."

Sheng Yunshao snorted lightly, supported Princess Anran and led her into the palace.

Jiang Ruo curled her lips and smiled, "Dongxue, go take care of your aunt."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Dongxue bowed and quickly followed.

Jiang Ruo thought about the skewers she had prepared yesterday and instructed Manager Lin, "Manager Lin, pick a spot and get everyone ready. After we enjoy the flowers, we can have a barbecue together."

Enjoying flowers, barbecue...it's very nice.

Chief Steward Lin quickly bowed and replied, "I obey your command."

Jiang Ruo looked at the brother and sister who were following behind him with a slightly reserved look, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Chen An, you two siblings shouldn't be so reserved. Just act like you're at home."

Nangong Chenan and his brother saluted quickly: "Thank you, cousin Queen."

Nangong Yi felt very relieved as he watched the children becoming more and more sensible.

Jiang Ruo was afraid that Mr. Nangong and his companions would feel restrained, so she sent Little Phoenix to accompany them.

"Xiaofeng, have fun with your grandparents and the others, and be sure to pay attention to safety."

The little phoenix flapped its wings and promised earnestly, "Don't worry, sister. I will take good care of my grandparents."

Jiang Ruo nodded slightly, "Go!"

Little Phoenix came to Old Man Nangong and said seriously, "Grandpa, follow me. Let's enjoy the flowers first, and then go have a barbecue."

The warm jade pendant that Aping sent back some time ago made Mr. Nangong miss his deceased daughter very much.

After this trip out of the city, Mr. Nangong felt much better.

He smiled and said, "Thank you, little Phoenix."

Jiang Ruo arranged everything and said to the general's wife and others, "Okay, let's all go in!"

"You must have fun."

After the general's wife learned that Chu Ruoyan was pregnant, the smile on her face never faded.

"Yan'er, you have to be more careful in the future. Don't wield swords and knives anymore."

Chu Ruoyan quickly responded, "I understand, mother."

The group strolled leisurely in the palace, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Flowers are blooming in the palace and everyone is in a good mood.

.......

Manager Lin looked around the palace and felt that the water pavilion was in a good location.

So, he asked Manager He and others to move the barbecue grill from the carriage over.

Lighting the fire, burning charcoal... everyone was busy and having fun.

After Lin Zongguan had made all the arrangements, he happily came to Xiao Chengjin and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please move to the waterside pavilion."

Oh, it’s really nice to go out and relax.

Xiao Chengjin nodded slightly.

"Arrange a yard for the accompanying Yu family soldiers and let them rest!"

"I obey your command." Manager Lin turned and left.

Xiao Chengjin said to everyone cheerfully, "I think everyone is tired!"

"Let's go have a barbecue."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yunshao stabbed Xiao Chengjin again.

Can pregnant women eat barbecue?

Then, he looked at Princess An Ran with a doting look on his face, "Ruoxin, I will cook for you myself later. Let's not eat those useless barbecued meats."

When Princess Anran heard the word "barbecue", she couldn't help swallowing.

After hearing what Sheng Yunshao said, he immediately retorted: "I have been wanting to eat barbecue for a long time."

I'm tired of eating according to your recipes all day long.

Jiang Ruo listened to the conversation between the two and smiled softly, "Dad, it's okay to eat it once in a while."

Sheng Yunshao said fiercely, "It's better to avoid certain foods during pregnancy."

"Besides, your aunt is pregnant at an advanced age..."

Princess Anran snorted coldly when she heard this, "You mean... I'm old?"

This barbecue must be eaten today.

Sheng Yunshao shuddered suddenly and said softly, "Ruoxin, you misunderstood me."

"In my heart, you will always be eighteen years old, hehe!"

Everyone: “…”

I didn’t expect you to be such a prince consort!

Haha, I learned something.

Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo smiled at each other and walked towards the waterside pavilion...

Waterside pavilion.

"Please feel free to take your seats." Xiao Chengjin invited everyone to take their seats.

"Everyone eats it while it's hot and then grills it after you're done."

Jiang Ruo picked up the meat skewers and ate them with relish.

Haha, when spring comes and flowers bloom, we should go out for a walk.

The skewers were so delicious that everyone was not polite.

Princess Anran didn't care about her image at all. She ate with her mouth full of oil and secretly gave Jiang Ruo a thumbs up.

Ruoruo is still considerate.

.......

It was not until sunset that everyone left the palace.

Steward He, along with the palace servants, knelt down and kowtowed at the entrance of the palace: "Your servants and servants respectfully send off the Emperor, the Empress, the Princess, and the Prince Consort..."

I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

On the way back to the city, Sheng Yunshao took Princess An Ran into the space to rest.

Jiang Ruo looked at the sunset in the sky and said with a smile: "In two months, our brother or sister will be born."

“I’m looking forward to it!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengjin's smile deepened.

I am also looking forward to the birth of our baby...
