Chapter 431: Seeing Zhongli Zhuang and Zhongli Bu Again
Zhongli Zhuang glanced at Wen Zhenyi and said, "I want to eat what you cook."
Wen Zhen smiled: "It just so happens that I feel like cooking today, so I'll make you a delicious meal."
"I'll help."
"I'm coming too."
"Finally, except for the maids and servants who were asked to look after the children, everyone else went into the kitchen together."
Meng Caidie didn't want to rest either, so she lit a fire for them next to the stove.
She hopes that days like this can last longer, she likes being with everyone.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the ingredients and then at the weather: "We are having hot pot today. This kind of weather is a perfect match for hot pot."
They brought a lot of hot pot base when they came, and she also specially made clear soup for Meng Caidie and several children.
As for vegetables and meat, it is even simpler. A Xiang, Ma Yinghe, and the chef Fan from the princess's mansion are all good at knife skills, so she doesn't have to worry about them.
Even Princess Zhongli Zhuang learned to pick vegetables.
She just threw away the leaves she wanted and kept the roots she didn't want.
Wen Zhenyi felt a headache when he saw this: "Xiao Zhuang, this is not what we want. This is what we want."
"Aren't they all the same?"
"How about I wash the roots and leave them for you?"
"Then we don't need that." Zhongli Zhuang swapped the things on the ground and in the basin again.
Little Abu was relatively more skilled. Even after returning to his country, he went to the village to cultivate fertile land. He also had a vegetable patch of his own in the palace's vegetable garden.
No one in the palace could understand what the Crown Prince was trying to do, but they all liked this humble Crown Prince.
“Brother Shen, why do I see that Sister Wen has lost a lot of weight when I came here this time?”
Chen Hanxing looked at Wen Zhenyi who was chatting and laughing with everyone: "She had an accident when you came and almost didn't survive."
"What accident?"
"She had a heavy hemorrhage during childbirth and slept for several months. She didn't have much to eat on the way to your sister's wedding, so she didn't take good care of herself."
"how so."
"I used to hear people say that giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for women. Now I feel it." Shen Hanxing still felt distressed when she said this.
"Will you have children in the future?"
"No, Sister Wen is injured and will never have children again. Even if she does, I won't let her have them. One experience like this is enough. I'm afraid I can't bear it."
Little Abu looked at Wen Zhenyi, who was smiling brightly: "When she is around, everyone around her is happy."
"Yeah, how have you been these years?"
"It's pretty good. I have a lot more classes after I go back. When I have free time, I will visit various villages and work in the fields with the people."
“It was a really thorough experience.”
"It's not a complete experience, but I just hope that like you, I can make people's lives better."
"Then you must study hard this time. We have quite a few policies here, and you might be able to use them when you return."
"real?"
"How much you can steal depends on your ability."
Wen Zhenyi saw that the hot pot was almost ready, so he asked the child to come back and wash his hands and change his clothes.
I'm running around the yard in such a cold weather. My clothes are soaked with sweat. If I don't change them, I'll catch a cold soon.
The Princess's Mansion is very big, so even if so many people live in it, it won't feel crowded.
The hot pot was placed in the flower hall, and was prepared for them by the princess's servants, which made them feel a little flattered.
Wen Zhenyi looked at them and said, "I'm new here, so I don't usually have the chance to stay at the Princess's Mansion. You can all feel more at ease. You can go home and visit when you have nothing to do."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Princess."
"Today we won't distinguish between master and servant. This hot pot is just for fun. It won't taste good without people. From now on, when there are no outsiders around, you can just call me Miss. As for the title of Princess, please don't bother."
Zhongli Zhuang and Xiao Abu had never eaten it before. Looking at the red soup, they both felt stomachache.
Wen Zhenyi prepared mutton for them: "Try it, I believe you will love the taste."
Zhongli Zhuang and Xiao Abu took a bite skeptically, and the spicy taste combined with the unique tenderness of lamb instantly conquered their taste buds.
There is no need for Wen Zhenyi to say anything next. Just do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing.
Wen Zhenyi let them eat by themselves while she went to take care of the children.
Meng Caidie smiled a lot more today and ate a lot more than usual.
Mrs. Meng turned her head and wiped away her tears.
Meng Caidie looked at her: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I just ate a chili pepper and my tears came out."
"You rarely eat spicy food, so why did you add chili?"
"Didn't I say that chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns can remove dampness?"
Wen Zhenyi feeds Huanhuan and Xixi happily, but the two of them can’t eat these now and can only eat some supplementary food.
"It's cold, eat." Huanhuan pointed at the hot pot with her little finger.
Wen Zhenyi scratched her little nose and said, "You can't eat it now. Wait until you are a little older."
Huanhuan gestured at her own body: "Big."
"You have to be the same age as your brothers." Wen Zhenyi pointed at Xiaoyi and the other older children.
Huanhuan frowned, looked at the complementary food in the bowl, and suddenly sighed.
Ma Yinghe was feeding Xixi: "Why are you sighing again?"
"Who sighed?" Several people at the surrounding tables asked curiously.
"Huanhuan, he just pointed at the hot pot and asked to eat it. I told him one by one that he had to be the same size as Xiaoyi and the others. He looked at his supplementary food and sighed."
"Hahaha!" Everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Huanhuan didn't know what everyone was laughing at, but she laughed happily along with them.
Xixi blinked her beautiful big eyes and ate the food handed to her by Ma Yinghe.
Shen Xiucai looked at Xixi and said, "This child has the same temperament as Han Xing. He also ate like this when he was a child, quietly."
Mrs. Meng smiled and said, "They say a daughter who looks like her father is blessed. I think Xixi will be a blessed little girl in the future." After saying this, she felt a little sad. Caidie also looked like her father, but...
Madam Wen patted her back gently: "Don't worry, it will be fine."
Mrs. Meng smiled and nodded: "Yes. It will be fine."
After finishing their meal, the children wanted to run outside, but Wen Zhenyi stopped them: "You need to rest for a while after eating. Running and jumping around like this will easily give you a stomachache."
Nao Nao: "Aunt, can we go?"
Wenwen held Xixi's hand and said, "Well, let's walk, not run."
Wen Zhenyi looked at the children and said with a smile, "Okay, let's walk for a while. It will be good for you and help you digest your food."
Everyone ate to their heart's content and enjoyed the meal.
When Feng Hanhe and the Ninth Prince came the next day, they had gloomy faces.
"You guys were eating delicious food, but you didn't even bother to ask us to come."
Wen Zhenyi looked at him and said, "The emperor has already closed the palace gates."
