Chapter 572 Becoming a Strong One
Most of the animals hunted by the two little guys were small animals. Although there were not many, they were enough for them to eat.
Xiao Jin ordered the imperial guards to send all the hunted prey to the kitchen for He Shouyi to process.
"It's getting late. We're tired after playing for so long. Let's go back to the villa first. If there's still time after we rest, we can go to the Merlin in the back mountain to take a look."
"good."
The family of four changed their clothes after returning to the villa.
After Zhou Qing brought the heater into the house, he came out and saw Bai Shuang standing outside the door in a daze, holding a lunch box.
"Bai Shuang, what are you doing?"
Bai Shuang came back to her senses. She didn't know why she kept thinking about Si Chen's pale face. She didn't know if he had woken up yet. Doctor Ruan said that if he didn't wake up tomorrow, he would die...
"Nothing, maybe it's too cold outside, my brain is a little frozen, I'll go in and get some snacks first."
Zhou Qing frowned as she looked at Bai Shuang's back. Ever since Bai Shuang returned to the palace, she felt that something was wrong with Bai Shuang. She would always be in a daze from time to time. When she asked her, she wouldn't say anything.
Su Ying was lying on the couch holding her two children, listening to Xiao Jin reading a storybook. The storybooks with strange stories always attracted the mother and her two children to listen with great interest.
"Mother, that demon is so evil that it actually eats all the good people."
Su Ying touched the child's head lovingly, "Be good, both humans and monsters like to bully the weak. As long as we are strong enough, we can not only defeat those monsters, but also protect the weak."
The two babies nodded, not quite understanding.
"Mother, when Ling'er grows up, he must become as strong as father and mother."
Su Ying pinched her little face and said, "Okay, from now on, your mother and your father will rely on you to protect them."
Dabao puffed out his chest, "Don't worry, mother, Ji'er will protect you too!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Uncle He is already preparing dinner, so the lunch will be simple."
Bai Shuang took out all the food from the lunch box.
It was said to be simple, but it did not seem simple to Su Ying. A beggar's chicken, a pile of crispy meat, a fish soup and crispy spicy vegetables made her hungry just by looking at it.
Xiao Jin closed the book in his hand and said, "I am hungry after playing for so long. Let's eat first. After we are full, we can go to the back mountain to take a look."
"Let's eat, let's eat."
The two little guys were also hungry, and they ate the meal very actively.
After eating, Su Ying felt a little sleepy. In fact, she had no interest in enjoying the scenery. Seeing that the two little ones were also sleepy, she simply took them to rest in the house.
Xiao Jin asked Zhang Shuming to take out all the memorials he brought from the palace and handle state affairs while his wife and children were resting.
There were imperial guards patrolling back and forth outside the villa. The two people who followed Si Chen did not dare to get too close for fear of being discovered by the imperial guards.
"Although this villa is usually taken care of, there will definitely not be so many imperial guards guarding it when no one is around. Has a distinguished person come?" It would be troublesome if Si Chen was rescued by a distinguished person living in the villa.
"Go back and tell the master first. I'll try to find out who is in the villa right now."
"good."
When Su Ying woke up, it was almost dark outside.
When the weather gets cold, it gets dark very quickly.
Su Ying stood up and walked around the screen, and saw Xiao Jin sitting under the lamp reviewing memorials. Even during his break time, he still had endless questions to think about.
Xiao Jin heard the noise and raised his head from his recitation, "Awake?"
Su Ying nodded. "The two little guys have been sleeping until now, and they probably won't be able to sleep at night." She felt that the two children were tired, and since it was a rare holiday, she wanted to let them indulge themselves and do things that they couldn't do normally.
"There is a hot spring in the back hills. Let's go and soak in it at night."
"kindness."
I don’t know if it was because Su Ying was no longer around, but the two little guys woke up soon after.
After washing and getting dressed, the two little ones asked Xiao Jin to tell them stories from the book.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is a warm room at the back of the villa. Uncle He said he has marinated a lot of prey. Now that the weather is cold, he is afraid that the meat will get cold if he roasts it and sends it over. It is better to go to the warm room and eat it while it is roasting."
Barbecue should be eaten hot, especially in such a cold day.
"Okay, let's go to the warm room."
Xiao Jin held Su Ying's hand, and the two of them took the child to the warm room.
There was a charcoal basin burning in the warm room. As soon as she walked in, a wave of heat hit her in the face, mixed with a strong aroma of barbecue. Su Ying's appetite was aroused as soon as she entered.
He Shouyi was busy in front of the fire rack. When he saw Xiao Jin and the others come in, he stepped forward and saluted.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. The barbecue will be ready soon. You can eat it while it is being grilled. It will be more delicious this way."
"good."
There is also a small compartment in the warm room, so you can eat in it without being smoked by the smoke.
The palace maids carried the roasted meat into the compartment. There were sizzling oil on the meat, which looked very appetizing.
"Wow, it smells so good."
The two kids have done a lot of exercise today, and the weather is cold, so they have consumed a lot of energy. They feel hungry just by smelling the barbecue.
Su Ying found it troublesome to use chopsticks, so she just grabbed a roasted leg of lamb and started eating. The roasted leg of lamb was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it was juicy when she bit into it. It was so delicious that Su Ying wanted to swallow her tongue.
"Uncle He's cooking skills are getting better and better."
In addition to roasted lamb, there were also roasted rabbit and even roasted fish. Su Ying thought that He Shouyi felt that they were starving because the palace had cut spending, so he cooked different kinds of food for them today.
After the meal, Su Ying actually felt a little full.
She leaned back in her chair contentedly.
Bai Shuang quickly brought the digestive tea over, "My Lady, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well if you eat too much meat at night. Drink some digestive tea first."
Su Ying waved her hand to refuse. She had to digest and absorb the meat she ate with her own ability. She had never been too full in such a long time.
The main reason is that her breath is very strong, her qi and blood flow very well, and her internal organs have strong energy, so she is not worried about food stagnation at all.
But the two babies are still young, and they did eat a lot today. Su Ying asked Bai Shuang to put the digestive tea in front of them and let them drink it.
"Are you going to soak in the hot springs later?" Since Su Ying returned to the capital, Xiao Jin's cheeks have become visibly fuller, and he no longer looks thin as before.
Su Ying was very satisfied with his current appearance and could even pinch the flesh on his face with her hands.
"Go ahead."
There is nothing more comfortable than taking a hot bath after eating and drinking.
After resting for a while, Su Ying prepared to go to the hot spring with Xiao Jin, but Dabao said he had to study and would not go with them.
Erbao looked at Dabao with a determined look and hesitated to speak.
No, my brother works so hard and must want to get praise from my mother, so I absolutely cannot fall behind!
"Mother, Ling'er won't go either. She also wants to stay in the house to study and review her lessons!"
