Chapter 6 Raise your children in poverty and yourself in wealth; mothers also need to grow up
Xiangying didn't even look at her.
She pointed at the Imperial Observatory family hugging each other nearby and asked Yellow Beard to send the old supervisor in as well.
Yellow Beard was a little anxious, and he leaned over and lowered his voice: "I squeezed out the quota for you two adults and three children to go to the stable, and you still want to bring an old man?"
Xiangying crossed his arms: "No?"
Seeing her look, the yellow-bearded man was timid and could only grit his teeth and say, “Okay!”
Xiang Qianqian never expected that the brutal captain would agree to Xiang Ying's request.
She stood up angrily: "Big sister, how can you care about such insignificant people? You have a quota, why don't you help your family?"
Xiangying glanced at her and said, "I can help whoever I want. My country is destroyed and my family is ruined. How can you be considered my family?"
"You!" Xiang Qianqian clenched her fists in anger, her pale face tense.
She could only watch Xiangying swagger into the stable with Taoxue and the children.
Xiang Qianqian turned around and looked for the Seventh Princess.
"Seventh sister, the elder sister is really too reckless. Let's go and talk to her. You don't want to sleep next to horse manure, right?"
Unexpectedly, the Seventh Princess, who had always obeyed her, shrank away her hand, leaned against the tree and closed her eyes.
"I need to rest. Fifth sister, if you want to go, go by yourself." The Seventh Princess turned her back.
After seeing the miserable condition of the Sixth Princess with one’s own eyes, who would dare to help Xiang Qianqian easily?
Xiang Qianqian bit her lip. No one was with her, and her trying to stand out would really attract attention. She could only give up and hold her breath.
Xiangying took Taoxue and the children and chose a corner in the stable to stay.
The ground was covered with very thin grass. Xiangying took off his outer robe and planned to spread it on top so that the three children could lie more comfortably.
Who knew that as soon as she reached out to take off her clothes, Xiang Yuanxiao rushed over anxiously and grabbed her collar with his little hands.
"You are not allowed to do this!" The little guy's fair face was dirty and messy after a day of exile.
But those eyes were still black and shining. Xiang Yuanxiao pursed his lips tightly and said, "We don't live in the stable, and we don't need to eat. You are not allowed to take off your clothes for others to see."
Xiangying was surprised.
What is this child thinking?
But when she saw the humiliation flashing in Xiang Yuanxiao's big eyes, she understood in an instant.
Although the little guy was young, he had already understood from the discussions of the people around him what Xiangying was going to do when he went into the woods alone with Yellow Beard.
So in his eyes, being able to live in the stable was a reward that his mother exchanged for her body.
But the little man felt that he shouldn't do this. A simple action from Xiangying would make him nervous.
Xiang Ying lowered his eyes and looked at Xiang Yuanlang and Xiang Xiuxiu behind him.
The two little kids also hugged their knees in silence, blinking their eyes and looking at her sadly.
Xiangying felt it necessary to explain it clearly to the child.
She hooked her arm around Xiang Yuanxiao's neck and held him in her arms. The little guy resisted twice, and Xiang Ying said, "Shh, I'll tell you a secret. I didn't take off my clothes to show anyone."
Xiang Yuanxiao stopped struggling, raised his big eyes and looked at her suspiciously.
Xiangying lowered her voice and said, "Mom just beat that yellow-bearded guy until he screamed. He got scared and promised to give us some benefits."
"But there are so many people in this exile team. If everyone goes to fight him, won't it be a mess?"
Xiang Yuanxiao nodded, and his eyes finally lit up: "I remember now, you are very good at martial arts!"
He saw it with his own eyes. When he was in the palace, Xiangying was able to subdue several soldiers in no time.
Xiangying saw that he was smiling so innocently and brightly: "So you can rest assured now. I just can't publicize it to the public, but I definitely didn't suffer any loss."
As she said this, she pinched the child's face.
Xiang Yuanxiao stopped smiling immediately, and became as awkward as before, slapping her hand away.
"I'm not worried about you. Anyway, as long as you don't get me and my brothers and sisters into trouble, that's enough!"
He squeezed out of Sang Young's arms and ran to whisper to Sang Won Lang and Sang Soo Soo.
After a while, the three children looked relieved.
Just then, Yellow Beard came again.
Tao Xue immediately stood in front of Xiang Ying alertly: "What do you want to do now?"
Yellow Beard looked gloomy. He glanced around and confirmed that no one was watching before saying to Xiangying, "That old supervisor refused to come in! His whole family is very stubborn and said they would not accept any benefits from the thieves."
Xiangying raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.
The women and family members of the Imperial Observatory had just been insulted by Yellow Beard and the soldiers.
It is natural not to accept this sudden benefit.
Xiangying waved his hand: "Forget it then."
The man with yellow beard took out a piece of naan from his arms and handed it to him.
His tone became rather flattering: "The meal will be served soon. I'm afraid the princess and her child won't have enough to eat. This piece is for you."
After Xiangying took it, he left quickly.
But Xiangying pinched the naan and found it hard and dry. How could he feed it to the child?
A moment later, a gong was struck outside, and the soldiers shouted, "It's time for dinner!"
Tao Xue hurriedly went to get the food as a representative.
All I brought back were four bowls of rice soup, and the grains of rice in each bowl were so few that you could count them on one hand.
This is called rice soup? This is just water!
Apart from being hot, it's not really a meal.
Tao Xue said in embarrassment: "This is already very good. I went early and got half a naan. If I went late, I wouldn't even get a naan."
While they were talking, the people around them who had been hungry all day had already started eating with big mouthfuls. There was no complaint or grumbling, and the sound of drinking water could be heard everywhere.
Xiangying pulled Taoxue in front of the three children and took out a pancake from his sleeve like a magic trick.
It was soft and thin. She tore it into strips and put them into the children's and Tao Xue's bowls one by one, sprinkling some salt on them.
He then took out a few slices of cloud ham from the space and asked them to put them at the bottom of the bowl and eat them.
When she took out four boiled eggs, Taoxue and the children's eyes widened.
This time, Tao Xue didn't ask, but subconsciously looked at Xiangying's chest.
They are the head princess, she is so conceited!
Xiangying gently patted Taoxue's forehead and said, "What are you looking at? This is what Huang Huzi hid underneath when he gave me naan just now."
Tao Xue covered her forehead and suddenly realized: "No wonder."
The children couldn't wait any longer and turned their backs to eat.
The Yun ham is fresh and tender with a hint of pepper and salt, the pancakes are soaked in rice soup and your mouth is filled with the aroma of sesame when you take a bite.
Finally, have a boiled egg. Your belly will feel full and satisfying.
Xiangying did not treat herself badly. In addition to the rice soup pancake, she also secretly ate a mutton pie and a chicken leg.
Raise your children in poverty and yourself in wealth, and as a mother you also need to grow up.
The main thing is that if she takes out something else, it will be difficult to explain to them.
But Xiangying always felt that this was not a solution.
She could pretend to eat secretly now, but what would she do later? There were still many delicacies in the space that she hadn't had the chance to take out.
She had to find a way to enjoy the food openly without arousing suspicion.
Xiangying took out a wet towel from the space and carefully wiped the faces and hands of the three little ones.
Just then, a fragrant smell wafted from outside.
The people around him sat up straight suddenly and said, "It's broth, it smells so good!"
"The military supervisors are cooking meat, it seems to be pig bones."
Everyone was extremely greedy, except Xiangying's family.
The three children gathered together and whispered to each other: "We are all full."
Xiang Xiuxiu agreed: "It doesn't smell good at all. It's definitely not as delicious as what mom gave me."
Xiang Yuanlang was about to nod, but his face suddenly became serious and he pointed at his sister and shook his head.
We agreed not to call her mom!
Xiang Xiuxiu covered her mouth with her hands and smiled embarrassedly.
Xiangying looked at the three little guys who were staring at her and said nothing.
As for the child, she won't care.
It was late at night and everyone, tired after a whole day, fell asleep, with the sound of snoring filling their ears.
Xiangying and Momoyuki slept with the three children between them.
A tall figure walked into the stable under the cover of darkness, and headed silently towards the three children.
In the dim moonlight, three children were holding hands and sleeping soundly.
His cold gaze turned to Xiangying's face, and she was also asleep.
With a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, he slowly reached his hand into his sleeve.
