"The person is gone, everything is fine." Mrs. Wu turned and said to Jiang Zhiyuan who was lying on the bed.
Jiang Zhiyuan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes: "Old man, you scared me to death. Fortunately, I ran fast."
Jiang Zhiyuan sat up, lifted the quilt, and found that he was still wearing shoes.
It is very cold in the capital during the twelfth lunar month.
The queen ordered the palace maids to burn the charcoal fire vigorously so that the inner room would be warm.
After lunch, Xia Miaoyuan refused to take a nap. Instead, he lay on the carpet with his little butt sticking out, watching Xiaojuzi eat.
The queen specifically instructed the kitchen to make soft, glutinous and easy-to-digest fish porridge for Xiaojuzi.
Xia Miaoyuan smelled it and squinted his eyes in ecstasy.
【This fish porridge tastes really good. 】
"Eat quickly, eat quickly!" Xia Miaoyuan said to Xiaojuzi in a baby voice.
The little orange stuck out its tongue, licked it, let out a happy cry, and started eating one bite after another.
Maomao, who was lying in the house, smelled the fragrance, ran over happily, put his face in the bowl, and took a big bite.
Little Orange meowed in dissatisfaction.
[Maomao, don't steal the cat's food! ]
"Maomao, don't!" Xia Miaoyuan stood up, hugged Maomao's neck and pulled it back to the mat.
However, Maomao is now taller than her, and it is really difficult to pull it over.
Xia Miaoyuan was panting heavily.
[Oh my, when will this princess grow up?! ]
Maomao was forcibly dragged back to the nest and looked at the bowl of fish porridge reluctantly.
The queen sat aside looking at the account book. Seeing her daughter worrying about the two pets and panting from exhaustion, she found it very funny and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
"Your Majesty, the Xiaolin tribe has come to deliver New Year's gifts and has also brought you a letter!"
Suddenly, Xiao Luzi's voice came.
The Queen's eyes lit up: "Show it to me quickly."
[Is this a letter from my grandparents?]
When Xia Miaoyuan heard the letter from Xiao Linbu, she no longer cared about supervising Xiaojuzi's meal. She immediately got up from the carpet and ran to the queen.
The queen unfolded the letter and read it silently, her eyes turning red as she read.
Xia Miaoyuan squeezed into the Queen's arms and looked at the letter. It only said that everything on it was well with her mother's family, greetings to the Queen and the little princess, etc.
Since the queen was in her teens and married to Daxia from the Xiaolin tribe, she has never returned.
As for the queen's parents, they only come to Daxia once every few years.
So just now, when the queen read the letter from home, she was suddenly overwhelmed with homesickness.
【Mother, what’s wrong with you? Are you sad? 】
Xia Miaoyuan climbed onto the queen's lap and looked at her red eyes, feeling uncomfortable as well.
"Mother!" Xia Miaoyuan called in a baby voice, put his arms around the queen's neck, and kissed her hard on the face.
[Miao'er, give me a kiss, and I'll feel better. Don't cry.]
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Suddenly, Debao's sharp voice came in.
[Daddy is here! I'll go see him!]
Xia Miaoyuan slid down and ran outside with his short legs.
After running just seven or eight steps, he bumped into Xia Zhengqi's leg.
Xia Zhengqi leaned over, picked her up, and walked towards the queen.
Before the queen could bow, Xia Zhengqi had already come to her and touched her shoulder.
"Ruoyu, I knew you must be secretly sad."
Xia Zhengqi sat down beside the queen and held her hand with heartache.
"If you miss your parents-in-law too much, go back and visit them when the weather gets warmer."
"Really?" The queen was surprised and excited.
"You are my queen, the mother of a country, so naturally you can go back to your parents' home to visit your relatives!" Xia Zhengqi put his arm around the queen's shoulders, and the queen nestled in Xia Zhengqi's arms like a little bird.
All the palace servants in the room retreated silently after receiving the signal.
[No way, no way, do you really need to show off your affection like this? ]
[I'm still here! Oh my god, are you completely ignoring my existence? ]
Xia Miaoyuan raised his little fist with a look of surprise.
The emperor and the empress smiled at each other, pulled Xia Miaoyuan into their arms and hugged her tightly.
[Aww, that's more like it.]
"By the way, Ruoyu, your father-in-law and mother-in-law specially sent you a lot of fat lamb. Why don't we roast the lamb and eat it? Just like you do in the Xiaolin tribe, roast it and eat it."
An innocent smile spread across the Queen's face. "That's great, of course. I couldn't ask for more."
"Call the prince and the second son as well, let's have some fun."
[Wow! Roasted lamb? That's awesome! I can finally eat some meat!] Xia Miaoyuan excitedly leaped up and landed on the ground.
"Great! Great!" Xia Miaoyuan's baby voice echoed throughout Kunning Palace.
Let's get some lamb skewers! Eating skewers is the best!
Lamb kebabs?
What are lamb kebabs?
The emperor and empress looked at each other, a little confused.
In just one afternoon, the imperial kitchen had slaughtered the sheep and prepared the ingredients, oven, and various barbecue tools.
At dinner time, the emperor, empress, crown prince, second prince, Xia Miaoyuan and five others sat together in the flower hall.
The barbecue grill is set up and all the ingredients are ready.
Xia Miaoyuan opened his big black eyes and stared at the lamb chops and lamb legs. He imagined them being roasted and sizzling with oil, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
[Let's get started! I can't wait! I'm so hungry!]
[As a poor baby who has endured dairy products for almost a year, roast lamb is her life's salvation! Woohoo! ]
[Roasted Lamb, come on a little harder! I'll give you my entire stomach!]
