Chapter 1870 A Special Fate
Manbao pointed at the still hot meat pie and said, "This is also made by my sister-in-law. Would you like to try it?"
Changyu sniffed, and without even thinking, she reached out and took one. She took a bite, and it was soft yet chewy. In just one bite, she could feel a little bit of minced meat. Her eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly to Mingda, "It's delicious, you should try it."
Mingda took one as well, took a small bite, and smiled, nodding, "It's good, and tastes different from the ones in the palace."
"Of course, this meat filling is made with the sauce my sister-in-law made. It's really delicious."
The guards couldn't help but glance sideways. They didn't react much when the princesses ate wild vegetables, but when they gnawed on the meat patties, the aroma kept coming to their noses, and they could hardly control their gaze.
The two guards standing closest to the two princesses swallowed involuntarily, then forced themselves to look away and look at the young masters who were riding their horses towards them.
Zhao Liulang and others ran closer and confirmed that they were not mistaken. The people standing in front of the palace gate were indeed Princess Changyu and Princess Mingda.
Zhao Liulang was the first to jump off his horse and stepped forward to salute, "Greetings to the two princesses."
Mingda and Changyu returned the half-bow and called him cousin.
Zhao Liulang looked at the meat patties in their hands, then at the plate in Zhou Man's hand and the basket in Bai Shan's hand. He couldn't help but blink and wonder, "What is this..."
Mingda said embarrassedly: "This is our breakfast."
Zhao Liulang: ...When will the princesses' breakfast arrive at the palace gate? And what's that ugly dish?
It doesn't look tasty.
But Changyu was very happy to eat, taking bites of meat pie and vegetables at the same time. She had a great appetite and even taught Mingda to eat the same way. "It's not greasy at all and it's very appetizing."
Zhao Liulang could only turn his head to look at Bai Shan, hoping he could give an explanation.
Bai Shan met Zhao Liulang's gaze, calmly looked away and ignored him.
Zhao Liulang: ...
He was about to ask something else when Liu Huan's carriage arrived. As soon as his carriage stopped, he jumped out and shouted, "I smell meat patties. Are you eating meat patties?"
When he jumped off the carriage, he found that the people eating meat patties were not Bai Shan, Zhou Man and the other two as he had imagined, but two princesses. He stopped immediately, not daring to be rude.
Since he brought enough, Manbao took a meat pie from the basket and handed it to him.
Liu Huan laughed and said, "That's not good..."
That being said, he still took it.
Changyu was unhappy when she saw it. She was always protective of her food and she was not familiar with Liu Huan. The cake was brought by Manbao for her and Mingda.
So she took a bite of the meat pie and continued to eat the wild vegetables, calling Mingda, "Eat this first, and then we will go to the palace."
Wild vegetables cannot be brought into the palace, but meat patties are allowed.
Having grown up together, Mingda knew what she was thinking. He smiled and nodded, then went to pick up some wild vegetables to eat.
Liu Huan also wanted to eat wild vegetables, but after looking at Mingda and then at Changyu, he didn't dare to speak.
More and more students came to the palace gate. Feng Zongping and Yi Ziyang also arrived. Together with other students, they first saluted Princess Changyu and Princess Mingda, and then they had to pass the inspection and leave the palace while looking at this side.
Only Zhao Liulang and Liu Huan stayed, but one stayed to look after his two princess cousins, and the other stayed to eat meat pies.
Lu Yue was one of the last two to arrive. He watched for a moment and couldn't help but ask Zhao Liulang, "Are you just going to watch? You don't even know if the food outside the palace is clean, and you dare give it to the princess?"
Bai Shan only raised her eyelids slightly, but Zhao Liulang said angrily, "Zhou Man is the imperial physician. What is there that she dares not eat?"
Chang Yu, who was struggling to eat, nodded repeatedly. After swallowing his food, he retorted, "Who are you? What does what we eat have to do with you?"
Lu Yue was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. He lowered his head and whispered, "I am also worried about Your Highness. After all, there are many diseases in spring..."
Changyu snorted and was about to retort, but Manbao tugged at her sleeve. She turned to look at her and saw her bowing her head, holding a plate in her hand as she bowed, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Except for the silent guards at the palace gate, everyone bowed and saluted.
The prince frowned and excused himself, then looked at Mingda and Changyu. His eyes slid from the chopsticks and meat patties in their hands, and his brows furrowed even tighter. "Aunt Fan said that you ignored the advice and left the palace to make trouble? Do you have the token to leave the palace?"
Chang Yu lowered his head and dared not speak. Mingda smiled and said, "Brother Crown Prince, we didn't leave the palace. We just ate something at the palace gate."
"How can we eat in public? How can we not eat in the palace?" the prince asked.
Mingda complained, "The guards won't let this dish in."
The guards remained calm and showed no fear at all.
The prince took a look at the wild vegetables in Zhou Man's hand, but did not blame the guards. The dish looked black with a little red, which was different from the dishes he had seen before, so he would not let him eat it.
He took a step forward, took a look, frowned, and asked Zhou Man, "What kind of dish is this?"
Man Bao: "Wild vegetables?"
"Wild vegetables are just wild vegetables, why are you so unsure?"
"There are several. Your Highness may not have heard of the name I called."
The prince turned around and asked Mingda and Changyu, "Is it delicious?"
There was not much fluctuation in his voice. Chang Yu was not sure whether he was angry or not, and he was even less sure whether he was asking them literally or with another meaning. Therefore, he hesitated and did not dare to answer.
Mingda nodded affirmatively and said, "It's delicious. Big brother, would you like to try it?"
After saying that, she handed him the chopsticks in her hand.
The prince didn't mind that it was used by his sister. He took it and took a bite with chopsticks. It tasted slightly sour and sweet. The prince raised his eyebrows slightly. It was quite crisp.
Everyone: ...
Manbao and Baishan Bai Erlang felt relieved a little as they watched the prince take the plate from her and start eating.
Chang Yu held the chopsticks in his hand, feeling extremely sad, and he had no way of snatching the wild vegetables from the prince.
She could only take a bite of the meat pie in frustration.
When the prince heard the voice, he looked up at her, and his gaze turned to the meat pie in the food box in Bai Shan's hand.
Chang Yu had a bad feeling. The prince had already poured all the wild vegetables on the plate into his mouth. After chewing slowly, he wiped his mouth and put the plate and chopsticks into the food box. Before putting them in, he took out the small bamboo basket from inside and said to Chang Yu and Ming Da, "Okay, you can enter the palace now."
He pointed at Aunt Fan standing inside the palace gate and said, "If it weren't for me, it would be Aunt Shang or my mother who's here now. If you don't want to be punished, don't stay outside for so long."
Changyu stared at the bamboo basket in his hand and couldn't help but pull Mingda's sleeve.
Seeing how pitiful she was, Mingda reached out and took a meat pie from the bamboo basket in the prince's hand, nodded and said, "I understand. Goodbye, big brother."
She and Manbao winked at each other, then pulled Changyu away and gave her the meat pie after they entered the palace.
Chang Yu was finally satisfied. While eating the meat pie in his other hand, he said, "By the way, Man Bao seemed to have mentioned that she also brought us soy milk."
Mingda said, "Two meat patties are enough. You just ate a lot of wild vegetables. Don't eat too much for breakfast."
See you at 9pm
