Chapter 1435 Eating Dumplings on the Winter Solstice
At this moment, Xinping in her arms suddenly discovered something: "Huh?"
Everyone was stunned by her shout. Nan Yan lowered her head and looked at her daughter in her arms: "Xinping, what's wrong?"
Xinping opened his eyes wide and looked around, as if he had taken a tour.
Suddenly asked: "Where's Feifei?"
“…”
Nan Yan was also stunned for a moment, and immediately looked up and looked around.
Ran Xiaoyu hasn't come back yet.
Although Xinping can speak now and can call out other people's names accurately, she just doesn't call Ran Xiaoyu by her name, but always calls her "Fei Fei".
This is probably also the sequelae of the previous Changqing City Rebellion.
She was closer to Ran Xiaoyu than to others, and she would be very happy when she saw her, stretching out her hands to "fly". However, in the palace, Ran Xiaoyu could not be as free as outside the palace to take her to climb walls and fly over rooftops, but as long as she was held and lifted up a little, she would be very happy.
Now, as soon as she saw that Ran Xiaoyu was not there, she spoke immediately.
Zhu Feng also frowned: "Where's Ran Xiaoyu?"
Nan Yan then remembered, "Just now, I asked her to go out and look for it, but she must have taken another road and hasn't been found yet."
As he spoke, he became a little anxious.
At this moment, a big hand pressed on the back of her hand. Nan Yan looked up and saw that it was Zhu Feng looking at her.
He said, "She's already grown up, how could she get lost?"
“…”
"You're too impatient."
As he spoke, he gently pressed the back of her hand.
His voice is low and magnetic. When he speaks loudly, it gives people a strong sense of oppression, but when he lowers his voice and speaks softly, it gives people a very solid feeling, as if they can completely rely on him.
Coupled with the warmth of his palm, it gives people a sense of security.
After hearing this, Nan Yan nodded.
Indeed, it would be fine for others, but who is Ran Xiaoyu? Why would they worry about her getting lost?
Since I asked her to look for it, she would naturally try her best to find it. Besides, she is a stubborn person, so if she can't find it, she will definitely go far away. However, with her skills, there will definitely be no danger. When she can't find it, she will naturally come back.
So, he nodded gently.
However, she still felt a little uneasy, perhaps due to the aftereffects of having just met that mysterious man. She whispered, "Your Majesty, please send someone to look for her, otherwise she won't be left outside. It's so cold outside."
"Of course."
Having said that, Zhu Feng turned around and told Xiao Shunzi to send someone out to look for Ran Xiaoyu.
After a while, the waiter brought the hot dishes upstairs again.
After they came in and out several times, the store owner realized that these people were either rich or noble, so he was very careful with them. The dishes he served were more carefully than those sold to other people on weekdays, and there was also a big pot of steaming mutton soup.
As soon as the lid was opened, the room was filled with refreshing fragrance.
Xinping sniffed it and his eyes lit up: "Wow."
Zhu Feng laughed and said, "Why are you greedy? Didn't you just eat some candied haws?"
Zhu Chengxuan said softly, "My sister just played around with it and didn't eat much. Besides, she's been traveling a lot, so she's a little hungry."
Zhu Feng smiled and held her to sit on his lap, saying, "Okay, I'll feed you first."
After saying that, he asked someone to serve a bowl of hot soup. He took a small spoon, scooped up a little, blew it to cool it down, and then fed it to Xinping's mouth.
Xinping drank it in one gulp, smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.
"tasty!"
"Is it delicious? Then eat more."
The people who were serving around were too afraid to breathe. It was the first time they saw the emperor show such a gentle expression, and he even fed the princess himself. This was something they couldn't even dream of.
Zhu Chengxuan watched from the side with envy in his eyes.
He has never been like this since he was a child.
After a long while, he lowered his head and started eating with the bowl in his hand.
Because they were outside, there were no rules to follow when eating. Everyone was chatting and laughing. Plus, with Xinping there, this little greedy cat sighed with every bite, as if the world was clear with food. The atmosphere became more lively.
Only Nanyan.
Holding the bowl of steaming soup and facing the delicious dishes on the table, she had no appetite at all.
Zhu Feng fed Xin Ping half a bowl of food, then turned to look at her and said, "What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?"
"No, no."
"Eat more. It's hot outside. Drink some hot soup to warm yourself up."
"yes."
"The shopkeeper just asked, what else?"
Xiao Shunzi hurried forward and said, "There are also dumplings."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "That's good too. It's the perfect time to eat dumplings during the winter solstice."
Sure enough, after a while the waiter brought another large bowl of steaming dumplings. The dumplings were floating in the soup, each one plump and round. When you bite into one, it is full of oil and meat, and your mouth is filled with the aroma of meat.
Xiaoxinping ate four or five in a row and wanted more.
Only the southern tobacco tastes like chewing wax.
Firstly, the room seemed to still be filled with the puzzling and oppressive atmosphere left by the mysterious man; secondly, Ran Xiaoyu had not returned yet, and she could not feel at ease.
Seeing Xinping still clamoring for more food, she stopped him, saying, "Don't eat anymore. You've already eaten so much. If you eat any more, you'll have a stomachache tonight."
Zhu Feng also said: "Yes, listen to your mother."
Xinping also knew that it was useless to act coquettishly in front of her own mother, so she could only pout and climb into Zhu Chengxuan's arms again. When her brother bit open a dumpling, she hurriedly leaned over to take a sip of the broth, getting her mouth full of oil.
Everyone watching couldn't help but laugh.
Nan Yan also smiled and shook her head.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Xiao Shunzi went out to take a look and immediately said, "Miss Xiaoyu is back."
"oh?"
Nan Yan felt relieved when she heard this, and sure enough, she saw Ran Xiaoyu walking back from outside.
She asked, "Why did you come back just now?"
Ran Xiaoyu didn't know if she had run very far, but at this moment she was out of breath and her face was a little pale. She glanced at Nan Yan, lowered her head, and said softly, "I walked several streets but couldn't find anyone. I was worried that I had lost my way, so I walked around and came back."
"That's good, it's a good time to eat something."
"yes."
Although on ordinary days, I am not qualified to sit and eat with the emperor and concubines, but today I am traveling incognito, so there are not so many rules; Zhu Feng also knows that Nan Yan has always treated her kindly, so he did not stop her.
Ran Xiaoyu filled a bowl and went to the corner to eat.
Zhu Feng turned to Nan Yan and said, "Okay, she's back. Shouldn't you also eat something properly?"
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned.
Just now, although she had no appetite, she also picked up her bowl and chopsticks and ate some like everyone else, but it tasted like chewing wax.
But she didn't expect that Zhu Feng had been paying attention to her.
