Seeing that she was in a good mood, Fourth Master and Hongxuan, who were worried that she would vomit, were also in a good mood and quickly started eating.

They all sped up their chopsticks and quickly finished off the several plates of meat dishes.

Jiaming touched her stomach; she wasn't full. What should she do?

Slightly annoyed, she glanced at the table, looking at the rich broth, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

His hands followed his thoughts closely, and he picked up the dish and poured the broth from the braised pork into his rice bowl.

Upon seeing this, Fourth Master and Hongxuan were both surprised and stared at Jiaming's face.

The Fourth Prince frowned: "Mixing rice with soup is outrageous. For the princess of the Fourth Prince to eat leftovers and mix rice with soup is laughable. He, the Fourth Prince, is not short of money to support her. Does she need to act like an ordinary commoner?"

Watching this scene from the side, Hongxuan thought to himself: Soup mixed with rice is okay? But, is it tasty? Being a foodie and a petty person, he didn't think as much as the Fourth Prince.

Thinking this to himself, Fourth Master said, "I'll have someone make you a few more dishes." His voice carried a slightly reprimanding tone, implying that it was better to give up on the impolite act of mixing soup with rice.

"No need, sir," Jiaming refused without looking up. "The soup is actually quite good with rice." As soon as she finished speaking, she mixed the soup and started eating.

The Fourth Prince frowned, intending to continue speaking and stop the other person's actions. However, seeing the delicious food and fine tea, he paused and couldn't act according to his intentions.

Because little Hongxuan next to him was also eager to try it, "Mother, is rice mixed with soup really that delicious?"

Jiaming looked up at Hongxuan, chewed on rice mixed with braised pork broth, swallowed it, and then replied, "If you don't believe me, you can try it. It's quite delicious."

Fourth Prince: "..." This isn't a question of whether it's delicious or not, but rather that mixing rice with soup is really unappetizing and very impolite. Moreover, what you said is actually corrupting the young prince.

Just as he was about to continue to stop her, he hesitated when he saw Jiaming enjoying her meal, and then decided to let it go.

It was rare for Ming'er not to vomit this time and to have such a good appetite. The Fourth Prince's furrowed brows relaxed, and then he looked at Jia Ming's belly and thought to himself: For the sake of the child, it doesn't matter if it doesn't look like this!

But when I turned around, I saw that Hongxuan had already mixed the beef broth with rice and was already eating it.

Fourth Master couldn't help but wonder—was it really that delicious?

As if possessed, Fourth Master also started mixing the soup with his rice. By the time he came to his senses, the soup from the mushroom and chicken dish had already been poured into his rice bowl, and he was stirring the rice and soup together.

The Fourth Master paused immediately, his brows furrowing even more deeply. He wanted to put down his chopsticks, but then he thought, "I've already made the soup with rice, all that's left is to eat it." Besides, seeing Ming'er and Hongxuan eating so heartily, he hesitated for a moment, then took a bite himself.

The rich, fragrant broth coats the sweet rice grains, creating a uniquely delicious flavor.

The delicious soup mixed with rice made Fourth Master's furrowed brows relax, and he ate faster, soon finishing his bowl.

Then, the Fourth Prince realized that he had eaten too much and his stomach was painfully bloated. The Fourth Prince, who always stood up straight, couldn't help but bend over, and his stomach indeed felt less bloated.

Feeling much better, Fourth Master put down his chopsticks and, regaining his senses, his lips twitched involuntarily. He never expected that he could be so rude.

Fortunately, no one saw his twitching mouth. Fourth Master wiped his mouth with a handkerchief to cover it up, but he didn't notice that Su Peisheng and Hongtao behind him were already in a daze.

Su Peisheng: Shock! The master actually mixed rice with soup! Is that still the aloof and rule-abiding master?!

Hearts: Shocking! The Prince actually mixed rice with soup broth and ate it!! Is this still the aloof and serious Prince?!

Having finished eating, Jiaming glanced at Fourth Master out of the corner of her eye: Hmph, he says no, but his actions don't quite match his words!

On the third day at noon, Jiaming felt that she was getting tired of the mushroom and chicken dishes she had eaten all day the day before, and wanted to change her appetite. So, for dinner, she cooked a dish of fish and tofu.

Dinner passed peacefully, but afterwards, the winds began to blow.

Jiaming was so frustrated! She rolled her eyes inwardly.

Yesterday we clearly agreed that I would support her, but after the meal, Fourth Master complained, "The fish and tofu dish today was not very good. The fish seemed to taste like tofu, and the freshness of the fish was not pure."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongxuan, who was standing nearby, immediately nodded in agreement.

Jiaming: "..."

After a moment of silence, I mentally ranted: "It's good enough to have something to eat, how can you be so picky?!"

Don't you know she's pregnant?!

Don't you know pregnant women shouldn't be mistreated? Do you expect me to put up with this?!

Is this supposed to be support? It's actually disdain!

After venting her frustrations, Jiaming looked at the young master with a protruding belly and the fourth master who ignored her after eating his fill. Her lips twitched, and her frustration and bitterness only intensified.

When Jiaming is in a bad mood, her thoughts wander, eventually turning to food.

Thinking about food gradually eased my gloom.

I've been cooking beef, chicken, duck, and fish in rotation these past few days. Thinking about changing things up, Jiaming decided to make stir-fried rabbit tonight. Also, I wonder if I can make shrimp and crab too?

After thinking about it, it seems feasible.

Unexpectedly, when the dishes were served that evening, Jiaming was stopped by Fourth Master as soon as she reached for the rabbit meat with her chopsticks.

"Wait, you can't eat that."

Jiaming was upset again. "My lord, why can't I eat?"

Seeing Jiaming's lack of manners, the Fourth Prince frowned and said in a deep voice, "You've already given birth to Hongxuan, how can you still be so ignorant? Is this shrimp and crab something you can eat? And don't you know the taboos of pregnancy? You can eat rabbit meat too? What will happen if my little prince is born with a rabbit's mouth?"

Jiaming: "..." Children born from eating rabbit meat have cleft lips? Is that true? Sir, you're overthinking it.

Seeing Jiaming remain silent, the Fourth Prince assumed she knew she was wrong, so his voice immediately softened, "This stir-fried rabbit meat, for the sake of my little prince, you can't eat it. And this shrimp and crab..."

Fourth Master rattled off a whole bunch of reasons, leaving Jiaming feeling dizzy and disoriented. She reached up and rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit better, before quickly interrupting, "Your Highness, please let me explain. This is made of tofu, it's vegetarian meat, not real, and it's edible."

Fourth Master's voice abruptly stopped, a slight look of surprise on his face, and his voice suddenly rose a little, "Vegetarian meat?!"

Seeing this, Jiaming smiled and said with a hint of amusement, "Hmm, vegetarian meat, made from tofu."

In his heart, he clicked his tongue and thought: Finally, I get to see my face change again.

The embarrassed Fourth Master's face darkened, especially after he realized that Jiaming had made a fool of him; a chill immediately emanated from him.

Jiaming, fearing that the petty Fourth Master would hold her accountable, decided to change the subject while she was ahead: "Ahem, the food is getting cold, Master, it's time for us to eat."
