Consort Tong gave a bitter smile. Which of the public's children wasn't a pawn in the Empress Dowager's hands? Which of those princes who died young wasn't schemed against by the Empress Dowager?

"Mother, let's have dinner! Today we have catfish hot pot!" Qingyan has improved the catfish stew according to the modern Huangshanghuang recipe, and the taste is just as good. After eating the fish, you can also cook vegetables.

"It tastes great!" Consort Tong nodded with satisfaction as she ate. "This is much better than hot pot."

The stew pot is a Northeastern Chinese dish, which is more in line with the Manchu people's tastes. After using it, Consort Tong was quite satisfied.

"Mother, if you like it, use more!" Yin and Qingyan dined with Consort Tong, their faces beaming with smiles, without mentioning anything about what was happening outside.

Consort Tong smiled slightly. Although the dinner was simple, it was specially prepared by Qingyan. The three of them ate together like ordinary people, with the mother-in-law sitting in the main seat and the young couple on either side of her.

"Such days are wonderful!" Consort Tong couldn't help but sigh, for the royal family, such days were far too luxurious.

"Fine, you've left me behind!" Kangxi walked in from outside and looked at the three of them enjoying themselves. He couldn't help but feel a little sad. He had lived with Consort Tong for many years, and this was the first time she had left him without going back to sleep.

"Hmph!" Consort Tong lowered her head and ate her meal when she saw Emperor Kangxi appear, no longer paying attention to him.

"Father, let's go see what we can do and prepare some food. We'll just treat ourselves like ordinary people!" Qingyan pulled Yin and walked outside.

"Wait, little darling, bring another one from this pot, let's use them together!" Kangxi noticed that Consort Tong was angry and quickly said it.

"Okay!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
