Chapter 131 The Prince Wants to Bring Food into the Palace
Pei Yanli finished his breakfast and went out on horseback.
Outside the gate, my daughter was already working, and the broom she used to sweep the yard was taller than her.
The little girl couldn't hold the broom while standing, so she tucked the broom handle under her arm and swept.
The wind blew from the direction of the moat, blowing away the few leaves that the little girl had just swept.
The little girl dropped the broom and ran to chase the leaves.
"Big Yellow, Little Yellow, don't run—"
The little girl caught up with the leaves and used her hands and feet to hold them down.
Pei Yanli felt both distressed and amused when he saw his daughter like this.
Sweeping the floor, and giving names to the fallen leaves.
Pei Yanli walked over to his daughter and squatted down. "Xu Xu, Uncle Sheng Hong said he missed you. Do you want to go with your father to the palace to see Uncle Sheng Hong?"
No court today.
He went to the palace entirely because Sheng Hong worked hard to improve himself.
Invite him to discuss some major plans for the people.
Sheng Hong is the emperor and cannot leave the palace often.
Since he came back from Yun City last time, he hasn't seen Qiqi and Xuxu again.
I heard that he watched the video of the Yun City trip that Cheng Shuyi edited for them over and over again, and the more he watched, the more he missed Xu Xu.
She has mentioned it several times to ask him to bring Qiqi and Xuxu into the palace.
The little girl picked up the leaves one by one and stacked them in order from big to small in her hands.
"I'm not going. I have to go play with Sister Fang later!"
After saying that, the little girl got up and ran home, taking the dead leaves to the kitchen stove to burn.
Pei Yanli shook his head and laughed.
The two children are the same. When the academy has a day off, they either go to play with their brother or their sister.
I wish there were no adults around.
Pei Yanli jumped on his horse and headed towards the palace.
He has been going to the palace every day recently, but he has been leaving the palace later and later.
Today, Sheng Hong even conscripted him into the palace and kept him until the evening before letting him go.
When we returned to Cheng's house, it was almost dark.
I heard the gate of the courtyard being pushed open and the crisp sound of horse hooves.
Cheng Shuyi, who was watching his child's homework in the room, put down his book and said, "Okay, Dad is back, let's go eat."
The two cubs immediately cleaned and put away their brushes.
Cheng Shuyi went out to the kitchen to serve the dishes. "Is the palace very busy lately? You've been coming home later and later."
Pei Yanli tied up the horse, went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and helped serve the dishes.
"Zhongyi has been quite energetic recently, and he has a lot of ideas about taxation."
Pei Yanli was relieved, but he couldn't help complaining.
And he likes the feeling of sharing what he does with his family.
This was something I had never felt before in the Regent's Palace.
In the palace, everything was decided either by him or by Zhao. There had never been such a warm and nagging feeling as there is now.
"I have to go again tomorrow, and I'm afraid I'll be busy until night again."
"Shuyi, please cook me a meal tomorrow morning. I really don't like the food in the palace."
"Should I bring you food?"
Cheng Shuyi opened the steamer and placed the cooked food on top to keep it warm. There was water underneath so that she could use it to wash dishes later.
"But it's winter now, not summer. The food I brought got cold in no time."
"That's true." Pei Yanli sighed, "This prince really doesn't want to do this anymore."
"You can't not do it!"
He wanted to resign, and Cheng Shuyi was the first to disagree.
"You're the only one in our family with a proper job, and it's a regular one. The business world is risky, and regular jobs pay more."
"And I still have time to take care of the children."
This is the key point.
The two cubs ran past them to wash their hands.
"How about this." Cheng Shuyi offered him a solution. "I'll bring you food tomorrow. I'll put a few hot packs in the cloth bag to keep it warm."
She really didn't expect that she could bring food to the Regent.
"good!"
With Cheng Shuyi cooking for him, Pei Yanli felt that this prince was capable again.
Two kids came from the kitchen, one holding a clay pot of rice and the other holding bowls and chopsticks.
Serve food to Cheng Shuyi and Pei Yanli.
"Dad, Brother Yanzhi said that the moat will freeze in winter. Is that true?" The brother put the food in front of Pei Yanli and asked him.
Pei Yanli nodded.
Seeing this, the brother immediately became excited and said, "Dad, I want a pair of wooden horse shoes for skating. Can you make them?"
My sister wants it too.
The two children looked at Pei Yanli expectantly.
They are from the south, and Cheng Shuyi is usually busy, so he rarely has the opportunity to take them to the Northeast to see snow and ice skating.
To be honest, the two children have never seen a heavy snowfall.
"What are ice skating hobby shoes?" Cheng Shuyi asked.
"Trojan shoes are made by tying a wooden board under your feet and using a wooden stick to support them so they can slide." Pei Yanli said, "Okay, I'll make them for you when I have time."
In fact, he could buy it directly.
But he still wanted to experience the feeling of making toys for his children with his own hands.
"The moat is frozen. Is the river surface solid enough?" Cheng Shuyi was worried that the ice would break and the two cubs would fall into the ice hole.
"It's strong enough to be used as a carriage or horse."
"That's good……"
Cheng Shuyi felt much more relieved.
-
The next day.
It rained again last night in the middle of the night.
When I got up in the morning, the weather was extremely cold.
Cheng Shuyi put hot packs on the inside of the two kids' coats, fearing they would be cold.
The two kids, however, acted as if nothing had happened. They jumped up and down and counted on their fingers: "Great! There are only nine days left before the holiday!"
Children really like holidays.
Cheng Shuyi watched the two kids go to the academy, and then returned to the kitchen to prepare food for Pei Yanli.
As for Pei Yanli...
He is working on his vegetable garden again.
In the vegetable garden, the lettuces and cabbages are as big as a palm, and he takes good care of them every day.
The lifestyle is indeed very 'institutional'.
Cheng Shuyi put the food into a wooden food box from Dashengchao, and then put the food box into a double-layer cotton bag.
A hot pack was placed in the mezzanine.
"It's getting late. You should go to the palace quickly." Cheng Shuyi handed the meal to Pei Yanli and gave him another cloth bag. "This is a power bank."
Pei Yanli grinned a little foolishly and held the cloth bag in his arms like a treasure.
Today he will surely make Sheng Hong and Mo Xiao so envious that their eyes will pop out of their eyes!
As soon as Pei Yanli left, Shen Zhoushi came to visit as if she had chosen the right time.
"Is Sister Cheng busy today?"
When Shen Zhou came in, she was happy to see Cheng Shuyi at home.
When she came a few days ago, the Cheng residence was either closed or only Pei Yanli was there.
She didn't dare enter the house while the Regent was there.
Cheng Shuyi turned around and said quickly, "No hurry, Sister Zhou, please come in."
After the Zhulou opened, she felt much more relaxed.
Apart from restocking, Cheng Shuyi rarely goes to the store.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to go, but the employees in the shop are afraid of her after they know her relationship with Pei Yanli.
Whenever she went there, no matter how friendly she acted, no one could really get along with her.
Rather than making everyone uncomfortable, it’s better not to go.
"That's great. I was afraid I'd delayed my sister's work."
Shen Zhou entered the room and sat down, stating her purpose directly: "Sister, the academy is going hunting in a few days. Have you prepared everything as scheduled?"
"Hunting?"
Cheng Shuyi paused fiddling with the charcoal brazier.
She raised her head and looked at Shen Zhoushi in confusion: "What do you mean by hunting?"
