"Then why are you doing it in the kitchen? There are too many people to make it. Why don't you just go to the main hall? There are more people, so everyone can make dumplings together. That way, it won't interfere with the other dishes being prepared." Mingxiu said helplessly. The children meant well, and Mingxiu didn't want to say anything, but looking at the kitchen staff who were squeezed into a corner with no room to move, Mingxiu really didn't know what to say.

The group looked at each other, nodded, and then began to take their things to prepare to go upstairs to make dumplings.

The women who were talking inside the main hall came out when they heard the commotion, and one by one they prepared to wash their hands and make dumplings.

After everything was ready, Mingxiu sighed as she watched everyone waving and looking excited, feeling that she had sighed far too much today.

Seeing that everyone had never made dumplings before, they were very excited. Mingxiu had no choice but to personally demonstrate how to make dumplings for them.

"Haha, look at the dumplings you made!" Guarjia laughed heartily at the dumplings made by Yierjuelogen next to her.

Mingxiu glanced at it and smiled happily. No one knew how she managed to make what was originally a small dumpling into a huge one.

Looking at the dumplings in her hands, Yierjueluo Genshi felt a little embarrassed. She hadn't made dumplings in many, many years. So what if they looked a little ugly? Looking at the culprit next to her, Yierjueluo Genshi mocked mercilessly: "You're making fun of me? Let me see what kind of dumplings you made. You even made a hole in them. Are you planning to drink the dumpling soup directly later?"

Guarjia was put into a difficult position by Irjuelogen's counterattack, because her dumplings were indeed loose and had broken skins, which she had forcefully stuck together. Such dumplings would definitely fall apart once they were put into the pot.

Mingxiu looked at the newcomers with amusement. The people around her were also chuckling, but they didn't dare to make a loud noise, for fear of being called out, because their dumplings were even worse than the other two's.

But there was one exception: "Haha, look at my dumplings, aren't they great? We're the kind of people who would never do any chores normally, look how good mine are!" Yinreng said angrily, holding up the dumplings he had made.

This immediately drew angry stares from a crowd.

Yinreng nonchalantly boasted about his dumplings, even placing them aside to admire them.

Mingxiu watched from the sidelines, her teeth aching. Was this her birthday celebration or their dumpling-showing-off event?

He turned to look at Kangxi, who was making dumplings very well but hadn't said a word.

Mingxiu couldn't help but speak up: "Alright, stop being so arrogant. Look how well your father has wrapped it. Nobody said anything. And look at you, showing off like that. Hurry up and wrap it. Today is my birthday. Don't let me go hungry."

Yinreng realized what was happening and quickly and obediently started making dumplings, but he was still a little restless and kept fidgeting.

Seeing this, Yinzhi and his brothers Yinzhen looked uncomfortable. The three of them exchanged glances, and then Yinzhi walked over and accidentally tripped Yinreng. After that, Yinzhen and Yinzhi took advantage of Yinreng's inattention and sprinkled flour all over him.

The once handsome and dashing Yinreng suddenly transformed into the appearance of a little old lady.

"Hahaha, ah, Father Huang has turned into an old lady." Before anyone around could react, the third son of Yinreng's family spoke up.

"Hahaha."

"Hahaha"

"I'm dying of laughter, Your Majesty. What's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Yinreng glared angrily at Yinzhi and the others, and while everyone was laughing happily, he grabbed a handful of flour and threw it at them.

In an instant, several old men covered in flour appeared in the room, and even several children who were standing nearby watching the show were not spared.

Mingxiu was quickly pulled away by Kangxi.

When Chenghuan and the others saw this, they quickly came over, afraid that if they got covered in it, it would be too troublesome.

Mingxiu rolled her eyes as she watched the group of people happily throwing flour around in the middle of the room, her lips twitching. Kangxi, watching from the side, also had his lips twitching. Were these really his sons? They all looked more and more childish than the last.

Looking at Hongxi standing obediently beside him, Kangxi nodded in satisfaction. His grandson was indeed well-behaved.

Little did he know that Hongxi pursed his lips and said: "Father Emperor is really too stupid. How can we win at this time? We must fight separately."

Seeing the escalating turmoil, which even involved several children, Emperor Kangxi had no choice but to step in and forcefully suppress both sides.

We still need to make dumplings, but everyone is much more well-behaved now.

It's fine when the table is noisy, but once it becomes quiet, it feels like all the noise around you is amplified.

The aroma of the dumpling filling, especially the one surrounded by everyone, was incredibly rich. "Mother, these two fillings smell so good!" Cheng Huan took a deep breath, her mouth watering as she looked at the two fragrant bowls of dumpling filling beside her.

Mingxiu shook her head with a smile. "It's delicious. You should eat more later. The vegetarian filling is made with green vegetables, wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms. The meat filling is made with fresh shrimp, mushrooms, and beef. They are both improved versions and taste very good."

"No wonder I felt like I'd never tasted this before," Cheng Huan murmured.

Mingxiu finished wrapping the last dumpling in her hand. "Okay, the dumplings are all wrapped. Who will take them over?"
