"Although Father and Mother miss Mingyu, they sent a letter telling Mingyu to get along well with Ushihabechuk and the Fourth Prince," Mingyu said shyly, lowering her head.
"Mother is here!" Wuxiha and Xueying came hand in hand. "Mother, Xueying knew you were coming, so she specially dragged me to the kitchen to make you breakfast. I've already had them bring it over. Shall we eat together?"
Mingyu glanced at Xueying in surprise, then heard Lanqin say, "Oh my, you two are so virtuous, such good children. Although I ate some at home, I'm really hungry after this bumpy ride. Let Biechu and Mingyu eat some too."
"Don't worry, Xueying has made enough. Even if Hongli and Hongzhou use it together, it will be more than enough," Wuxiha said.
"Forget it, they probably haven't gotten up yet. Besides, they live in Wan'an Fanghe, which is quite a distance from here. By the time they arrive, Wuxiha's stomach will probably be growling," Lanqin said with a smile.
"Mother! But I am indeed hungry. Let's not call them. They have plenty of food there anyway, so we don't need to worry about them all the time. Let's try the breakfast that Xueying specially prepared for us." Wuxiha said coquettishly.
After the maids brought in breakfast and set it out, Lanqin sat down with the four girls. She usually didn't have much of an elder's authority, but with Fucha Mingyu and Ulanara Xueying present, she couldn't joke and laugh with her two daughters as she usually did.
"Is this eight-treasure porridge?" Lanqin noticed that the porridge in front of her was date-red, and after looking at the contents, she saw that it was mostly rice and bean-like things.
"What eight-treasure porridge? Xueying has never heard of such a porridge. However, this blood glutinous rice porridge is made by cooking five grains, red beans, and blood glutinous rice together, with a few red dates added. It is fragrant, soft, and delicious, and is especially good for women to replenish blood and strengthen the body."
"And what is this? It looks like a dumpling, but it's not!" Bechuk said, picking up something that resembled a dumpling with curved ends.
“These are steamed dumplings, quite different from the dumplings we usually eat. I first saw them when I went south to Fuzhou with my father. They tasted so good that I couldn’t resist taking them out,” Xueying said.
"Mmm, it's really delicious. Steaming has a unique flavor. What's inside the bread?" Bechuk asked after taking a bite.
"I made several flavors. You probably ate a shrimp dumpling, which had raw shrimp wrapped inside," Xueying said. Heaven knows how much thought she put into preparing this breakfast.
"Xueying is really good. It takes a lot of effort to prepare such a sumptuous breakfast in such a short time," Lanqin praised.
Mingyu's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Xueying a few more times, not understanding why she was trying so hard to please Lanqin. It was clearly the Fifth Prince Hongzhou who liked her, and Lanqin wasn't Hongzhou's mother.
"Mother, I love this. Why don't you try some?" Ushiha had already eaten four or five pieces, and seeing that they were busy talking but not eating, she took the opportunity to eat a few more.
"You child, you only care about eating yourself, you don't even know how to entertain your sisters," Lanqin said, rolling her eyes at Wuxiha.
“We're already very familiar with each other, there's no need for you to pass the food around like that. Sister Mingyu, why are you using so little? Use more!”
Ushihadao.
