The nights are long in winter, and it was still dark when the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate.
All the court officials and their families got off the carriages and waited in front of the palace gate.
Rong Chaoxi slept soundly in Rong Yubai's arms.
[Snowballing…rolling my second brother into a big snowball…hahahaha…round and round…]
Rong Yuanyou hugged himself and looked at Rong Chaoxi with a wronged expression.
Why does my little sister always think of herself as a toy in her dreams?
Hiss——
The palace gate slowly opened.
Rong Baichuan held a high official rank, so his family and the envoys from the four countries entered the palace first.
On the palace road, Rong Xuqing's shoulder was suddenly patted.
A sunny boy dressed in foreign clothes suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Hi...hello everyone, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
"You..." Rong Xuqing widened his eyes slightly, "Are you Young Master Hai?"
Hai Yan is wearing the clothes of the Houchao tribe today.
The round-necked top fits tightly to the body, and there are some golden bracelets on the arms, which bind the sleeves tightly around the arms and wrists.
A blue and white brocade satin hung on her shoulders, and under the sunlight, it looked like flowing waves.
The bottoms were made of the same lustrous fabric, the whole body radiating the colors of the sea and sky.
The exposed skin on the neck, hands and face were all painted with exquisite patterns, as if they were participating in some solemn sacrifice.
Rong Yuanyou looked at the older brother walking backwards in front of him.
He really is a sun sign.
In this weather, everyone wears thick cotton-padded clothes and wraps themselves tightly, for fear that a slight cold wind will blow in.
He was only wearing two thin layers of clothes with his collar open so wide.
"Yes, it's me." Hai Yan said with a smile, "I didn't expect you were from the official family of Dongwu."
The last time I saw them, although they were dressed luxuriously, they were not arrogant and were extremely kind to their subordinates.
I had heard that Dongwu had very strict rules and etiquette, so I didn't think of them as officials.
"I'm sorry for making you laugh last time, Young Master Hai." Rong Xuqing bowed slightly.
"It's okay, it's my fault. But I didn't mean any harm..."
"Oh, Young Master, Young Master..." Hai Yan's guards came over to arrest him again, "This is Dongwu, not our Xumi Island. You can't just talk to a woman like this!"
The guards were really worried.
"Are there so many rules?" Hai Yan scratched his head in confusion. Aren't they tired of this?
After saying goodbye to Rong Xuqing, he obediently returned to his team.
Then he was scolded by his elder who must be in the same industry, pulling his ears.
Rong Baichuan asked who the person was, but didn't say much. He turned around and looked at the family, who continued to walk forward, talking and laughing.
…
When Rong Chaoxi opened his eyes, the palace banquet had already begun.
Rong Chaoxi reached out and wiped the saliva that was flowing out.
Smelling the aroma of food floating in the air, my mouth started watering again.
She is hungry.
I was sleepy this morning and only drank two sips of milk in a daze. Now it's lunch time and my stomach has been rumbling for a long time.
When the emperor saw this, he hurriedly ordered someone to bring Chaoxi over.
"Xiao Chaoxi, do you miss Uncle Emperor?"
Rong Chaoxi chuckled and stretched out his chubby little hand towards the emperor.
The emperor held her in his arms.
The little guy hugged the emperor's neck and rubbed his face, "Think about it..."
If I give her more meat later, she will want it even more.
Every time, my mother would only give her a small bowl and then nothing else.
The emperor smiled so hard that his teeth were visible. "Rong Baichuan is indeed a liar. He said that you were scared by the emperor last time and refused to go out..."
Rong Chaoxi's mind was now completely focused on eating, and she had no time to listen to what he said.
“Meat…Meat…”
The little fellow let go of the emperor's neck and threw himself onto the table.
The emperor quickly picked her up and said, as if presenting a treasure, "The imperial kitchen has developed meat without meat. Uncle Emperor, I will have them cook it for you right now."
After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the emperor was on his way back to the Yangxin Palace when he suddenly thought, "Didn't I eat meat every morning and evening?"
Therefore, he ordered the imperial kitchen to intensify the research. If Rong Chaoxi still couldn't make it by the next time he came to the palace, each of them would be punished with thirty lashes.
Last month, the royal chef reported that he had finally made it. He used vegetables and perfectly integrated the flavor of meat.
The emperor waited with a smile on his face for Chaoxi to thank him.
result……
Rong Chaoxi stared at the emperor with suspicion for a long time.
Then he opened his little mouth, revealing six small baby teeth.
He tapped it with his finger, then pointed at the meat on the table.
[Chaoxi has grown teeth and can eat meat now.]
Why eat fake meat when you can eat real meat?
The emperor was stunned, having forgotten that the little guy was already more than nine months old.
"Look, even the Emperor has lost his mind. He's forgotten that Chaoxi is a grown-up child now."
"Then today... we'll have plenty of meat."
When Rong Chaoxi heard this, he immediately smiled and clapped his hands.
[Yeah, yeah, yeah, mother is afraid of the emperor. No one can stop Chaoxi from eating meat...]
Qin Nanjing, who was sitting not far away, said: ...
Your Majesty, you have never raised a child, so don’t make random promises!
The Queen Mother heard the little guy's laughter and turned her head to look over.
I have always heard the third prince say how great Sister Chaoxi is.
The emperor and empress also praised her for being clever and cute.
It was the first time that the Queen Mother met Chaoxi.
The little guy's smile is really soothing to look at.
I want to call him over for a hug.
However, her health was not good and she had been ill all the time. Her child was weak and she was afraid that the disease would spread to her, so she gave up the idea.
Halfway through the banquet, the princes, princesses, court officials and envoys began to present gifts to the empress dowager.
The princes and princesses, as before, collected some fresh and interesting toys, or small things they made by themselves, such as longevity brocade, blessing scrolls, etc., and then said some congratulatory words.
The court officials received various rare folk items and calligraphy and paintings by famous artists.
Rong Chaoxi was not interested in these things. The most important thing at the moment was to eat meat and fill his stomach.
I don’t know when I’ll be able to eat freely like this again.
"And the Lord of East City presents a gift - two night-shining pearls..." The eunuch who counted the gifts shouted in agreement.
Two night-shining pearls the size of a baby's head were brought up, emitting a faint white light even during the day.
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "This... This is the first time I've seen such a big night-shining pearl."
"Ancient texts record that before the three realms of mortals, spirits, and gods were separated, the tears of the mermaids could glow at night. They were the small night-shining pearls we often see today."
"The largest one is only as big as a fist. But this big... could it be the legendary mermaid's inner elixir?"
"The inner elixir is also in the belly. It's so big, how can it fit in? It's impossible..."
Rong Chaoxi smelled a different scent, raised his head suddenly, and threw the skin he had just gnawed off far away.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the "Night Pearl" that was slowly approaching, with a light green light emanating from her eyes.
Hai Yan also stared closely at the "Night Pearl" in the palace maid's hand. The power of the sea god seemed to be reminding him.
【That's not a night-shining pearl! 】
"Isn't that a night-shining pearl?!"
