Chapter 516: It’s over, I’m sick again! (Add)
At this moment, Wenjiu was being supported by everyone and when he heard that the Crown Princess was coming, he stood up and went out to greet her.
"Meet the Crown Princess."
"No need for formalities." As the Crown Princess spoke, she took a few quick steps and helped Wenjiu up.
"Why is your belly so big?"
The Crown Princess had known for a long time that Wen Jiu was pregnant with twins, and she also knew that her belly should be bigger than an ordinary person's. But now it seemed that she herself might not be able to hold her own belly, which was really shocking.
What's even more amazing is that there doesn't seem to be any changes on her face, she's still as pretty as ever, and her arms and legs don't seem to have gained much weight either. Looking at her like that, her belly looks even more frightening.
The Crown Princess couldn't help but help her steady herself.
"The imperial physician said that there is not a baby in my belly. Look, it's just bigger than an ordinary baby. Princess Consort, don't worry. It looks a little scary, but I'm actually in good health." Wen Jiu said with a smile.
The Crown Princess nodded and continued, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said today that matters at court have become busy again, so the Fourth Master may not be able to stay at home for long, so he specially asked me to come and see you."
As he spoke, he asked people to bring in all the gift boxes.
"I don't know what you like, so I just prepared some at random."
"How can I accept this?" Wen Jiu was truly flattered. He had only met the Crown Princess once, so he really didn't deserve such a generous gift. "I'm truly sorry for the expense."
[Master, I'm sorry, why did you take it? ]
Warming the wine: "..."
She didn't want to take it, but... why were her hands a little out of control?
[Good catch, brilliant catch! Did you gain a bit more luck?]
Warming the wine: "..."
Seeing Wen Jiu like this, the Crown Princess couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said with a smile: "I can only be happy if you continue. Come on, don't be polite. The imperial physician said when you will give birth. Last time, we said we should make sesame balls together, but now it seems that it won't be possible. We can do it together after you give birth."
Wen Jiu couldn't help laughing when he talked about this. He said, "The imperial physician said that the twins in the womb might be born prematurely. They were already preparing for it at seven months, but now there is still no sign of birth. In my opinion, it may take some time."
The Crown Princess nodded after hearing this. It seemed like she couldn't cook any food, but it was good to see this pretty little face. It was also a relief to be out of the palace. It wasn't a loss after all.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curved slightly wider than usual.
Aunt Gui behind him couldn't help but be surprised. Sometimes the fate between people is hard to explain.
The Crown Princess was the least popular among her peers. Growing up, she had very few playmates her own age. Naturally, she also disliked others.
But how did she get along with Wenjiu? Moreover, it was obvious that the Crown Princess seemed to like Wenjiu very much.
Wen Jiu only said: "Come to think of it, I haven't cooked for a long time. If the Crown Princess doesn't mind, can we cook together today?"
The Crown Princess was naturally happy to hear this, but when she saw Wen Jiu's big belly, she shook her head and said, "You are about to give birth, so it's better to be cautious and not overwork yourself."
Wen Jiu smiled and waved his hand. "That won't delay the meal. It's just writing a recipe and asking the kitchen staff to make it. How can it be tiring? Last time, the Crown Princess said she liked sesame balls. How about I have someone fry a giant sesame ball for her?"
The Crown Princess's gaze fell on Wen Jiu's flawless white face, she blinked, and then nodded, "Okay."
Seeing how easygoing she seemed, Wen Jiu couldn't help but be surprised. He asked, "Crown Princess, you ate quite a bit of that glutinous rice snack last time. Would you like some more? Is there anything else you like to eat? I'll ask the chef in the kitchen to make some more."
The Crown Princess was dazed by the warm wine and nodded: "Okay, you decide."
Tea tasting: “…”
It’s over, I’m sick again.
[Ding, received 1 heart from the Crown Princess.]
Wen Jiu was stunned. He was showing love to himself so quickly?
To be honest, she didn't expect the Crown Princess to be so easy to talk to. When they first met, she felt that the Crown Princess was very reliable.
The second time we met, I felt that she was not shy at all. The most important thing was that she gave me such a big gift, which immediately made me like her more.
I immediately wrote down all the snacks she might like, including strawberry mille-feuille.
Of course, I will never forget this huge sesame ball.
Speaking of these fried sesame balls, many restaurants use them as special dishes. There is nothing special about the taste. They taste similar to ordinary sesame balls, but they are a little crispier.
But its head is huge, even bigger than a football. It is not only beautiful but also fun to look at, and it is also beautiful to take pictures, which is quite a gimmick.
However, frying these big sesame balls is quite challenging.
The ingredients are very simple. Let the glutinous rice dough rise for a while. When it looks ready, coat it with sesame seeds and let it rise for a while longer.
After the dough has risen, you can put it into the oil pan and start frying.
Pour boiling hot oil on top while frying, and then use a large spoon to roll it over to shape it.
The hands must keep rolling and pouring hot oil on it. The dough will continue to expand as it preheats, and finally solidify into a huge sesame ball.
At first, An Luhai was still a little confused. Just when Wen Jiu was about to roll up his sleeves and reach out, he finally blasted out one with a similar shape.
The Crown Princess looked at it, her eyes widening. "Can it really be blown up this big? It looks bigger than a plate already."
Wenjiu nodded: "Of course, the colander for frying is still a little too small. If the colander is bigger, it can be fried a little bigger."
After hearing this, An Luhai said with a smile, "Miss, I will ask someone to fetch two more large spoons to see if we can make even bigger ones."
Of course, there was no objection to warming the wine, so he ordered the eunuchs to run and get it.
The Crown Princess couldn't help but have a glint of light flash in her eyes. Why didn't she think of building a kitchen in the yard?
When I have nothing to do, I just squat here and watch others cook. It's quite fun.
An Luhai lived up to everyone's expectations and soon fried a perfectly shaped sesame ball. He immediately brought it to the warm wine and said, "Look, young lady, is this good?"
"Okay, okay!" Wen Jiu pushed the plate directly towards the Crown Princess: "What are you looking at, Crown Princess?"
The Crown Princess's eyes were all smiling at this moment: "Okay, it's really great."
Then, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Wen, can I take one with me when I go back?"
Wen Jiu nodded generously: "Of course I want to take as many as I want. Xiao Anzi, go get a few more."
An Luhai responded and ran back to work. He had also become addicted to bombing and found it quite interesting.
The Crown Princess stared at the sesame balls without blinking, and was even reluctant to reach out and eat them.
It has been a long time since she entered the palace. The servants beside her wanted to stay silent when they came to her. Don't even think about frying sesame balls in front of her in such a lively atmosphere.
Wen Jiu really liked the way the Crown Princess stared at him intently, so An Luhai blasted more and more sesame balls, and she had someone put a large circle of huge sesame balls on the table, almost burying the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess was a little reserved at first, mainly because her teacher, Nanny Gui, was still beside her, so she didn't dare to act presumptuously.
Wen Jiu saw this situation and simply sent Nanny Gui out as well.
Now, the Crown Princess also let go and rolled up her sleeves to start frying sesame balls.
It took Wen Jiu's amusing and helpless persuasion for several times before the Crown Princess gave up the idea of frying sesame balls and went to study other food with Wen Jiu.
…
The Fourth Master finally finished his work in the palace and immediately rode back.
The imperial physician said that Jiu'er might give birth soon. This morning, the little girl looked very unwell and he was really worried.
After entering the mansion, he went straight to Qingliang Pavilion. After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, he was stunned for a moment.
