One afternoon.
Murong Shu was lying on a recliner in the corridor watching the little prince practicing calligraphy, and suddenly he wanted to eat the braised prawns from Rong Family Restaurant.
Murong Shu saw the little prince finish writing the last page of big characters and waved to him, "Ao'er, come to your aunt."
Jun Ao put down his brush and ran over. Murong Shu personally took a handkerchief to wipe the ink off the little prince's hands.
"Are you tired, Ao'er? Do you want to go out with your aunt to eat something delicious?" Murong Shu gently touched the little boy's head.
"Ao'er, can you go?" Jun Ao was very surprised, his eyes full of longing to go outside.
"Of course, our Ao'er is so obedient, and you have finished writing the big characters assigned by your third uncle today. It's really amazing. Auntie will reward you and take you out, okay?"
Little Tuanzi is very well-behaved every day and is very dependent on his aunt Murong Shu. When he heard that Murong Shu was going to take him out, he nodded happily.
"Then third aunt, please change your clothes and we will go out soon, okay?" Murong Shu settled the little girl down and went back to his room to change clothes.
"Miss, do you want to bring more people with you?" Xiao Tao asked while helping Murong Shu change her clothes.
"Just bring more people. You go and notify the secret guards to protect him secretly. And bring a nanny to take care of Ao'er." For Jun Ao's safety, Murong Shu decided to bring more people.
"I'll arrange it right away." Xiaoju took over what Xiaotao was doing, and Xiaotao happily went out to make arrangements.
Because it was still early, Murong Shu decided to take Jun Ao for a walk on the street first, and then go for dinner. The security in the capital was very good, and Murong Shu felt more at ease since he had someone with him.
Thinking that he hadn't seen Jun Mingyue, Liu Ruyan and Song Yanran for a long time, Murong Shu asked people to go to the General's Mansion and the Number One Scholar's Mansion to ask them if they had time to get together at the Rong Family Restaurant.
Murong Shu first took the little prince to the most prosperous street. Xiao Tao protected her young lady at all times, fearing that Murong Shu would make any mishap. Murong Shu knew her temper and let her do as she pleased.
Murong Shu hasn't come shopping since Yueyue went to Tianmen Mountain. Her fetal position is stable now, so it doesn't hurt to go out for a walk more often, but without Yueyue, she just can't muster up interest.
The happiest one is Jun Ao, who finds everything new to him. Murong Shu also dotes on his child. They have plenty of money anyway, so he buys whatever the child likes.
So a group of people shopped while walking around. Jun Ao ate candied haws, green bean cakes, eight-treasure duck, peach blossom cakes...
Little Jun Ao was so happy that he was flying with joy. In the palace, the servants always told him that he could not eat this and that, but when he followed his aunt, he could eat anything, and even his third uncle didn't dare to scold him after he ate.
Seeing that Xiaotuanzi was enjoying the food, Murong Shu felt better. He bought some for Xiaotao and the others, and even had a few bites of some of his favorites.
The nanny who served Jun Ao noticed that their little prince, who usually had a not very good appetite, now had a surprisingly good appetite and was eating happily on the street.
What children call picky eating may simply be that they haven't encountered the food they like.
When Murong Shu brought the little prince to the Rong family restaurant, Liu Ruyan, Jun Mingyue and Song Yanran had already arrived early. Liu Ruyan also brought the little girl Mu Youran with her today.
"Shu'er, you're finally here!" Song Yanran hadn't seen Murong Shu for a while and missed him very much.
"Yes, you finally decided to ask us out. I was getting moldy at home." Jun Mingyue has gone out less frequently since she became pregnant.
"Yes, Yueyue is not here, and you are too lazy to go out." Liu Ruyan put her daughter down, obviously very satisfied with today's party.
"I've invited you to a big dinner. Today's my treat, so please eat as much as you want." Murong Shu first comforted his little sisters.
"You said so. We must order all the signature dishes here today as punishment for not inviting us out for so long."
Song Yanran missed the days when the young ladies were free and could go out to eat and drink as they pleased.
"Click, click, click. Order whatever you want!" Murong Shu knew that they were joking.
"Dudu, Youran wants one too." Little Dumpling pulled Murong Shu's sleeve, fearing that her aunt would forget about her.
"You can eat as much as you want, Youran. Auntie has money, so you can eat as much as you want." Murong Shu was very happy when he saw his lovely little niece.
"Dudu, Gege!" Mu Youran pointed at the little prince excitedly. She liked this little brother. Finally, someone had to play with her.
"You Ran, this is your brother, would you like to play together?" Murong Shu touched the little boy's head.
"Hello, sister. My name is Jun Ao!" The little prince was also very happy to see Mu Youran. The two little kids played happily together. With the nanny following behind them, Murong Shu and others gathered together to chat.
"I also want to give birth to a cute little girl like Youran." Song Yanran said with some envy.
"Having a baby is like opening a blind box. Whether it's a boy or a girl depends entirely on luck." Murong Shu also wants to have a baby, but she prefers to go with the flow.
"Aren't you all hungry? Can you please order the food first? I'm so hungry!" Liu Ruyan said pitifully.
"Then let's eat and talk at the same time!" Murong Shu prepared to order food first.
"Hahaha, Shu'er, why didn't you tell grandpa when you came?" Master Rong happened to be in the restaurant today. When he heard the shopkeeper say Murong Shu and the others were there, Master Rong came up to say hello.
"Grandpa Rong, you are here today too!" Murong Shu was very surprised to see Master Rong.
"Hello, Grandpa!"
"Hello, Grandpa Rong!"
Several people hurriedly greeted him.
"Hurry up and sit down. Grandpa has already asked the shopkeeper to bring you all the signature dishes.
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Several people were very grateful.
"Come and have dinner at grandpa's place. Order whatever you want. Take your time eating. Grandpa will go downstairs to get busy." Master Rong came up to say hello, then went downstairs to get busy.
Not long after, the waiter brought out all the restaurant's signature dishes.
Murong Shu called the little prince and Mu Youran in. The two little dumplings wanted to sit next to Murong Shu. Murong Shu was willing to pamper them and even helped them peel shrimps personally. The little dumplings were very happy eating.
"Shu'er, can they eat these?" Song Yanran was simply curious.
"Don't worry, these are good for children. You should eat more too, cousin. Pregnant women should also eat more." Murong Shu and Song Yanran also picked up some.
"Thank you Shu'er!" Song Yanran also liked the braised prawns.
Murong Shu also picked up some of the other dishes that they liked. Except for Liu Ruyan, the other three pregnant women were very happy eating.
Because all three of them were pregnant, the big crabs all went to Liu Ruyan. Although they were a little envious, there were more than just hairy crabs as other seafood was delicious as well.
Several people happily had dinner at Rong's Restaurant before going back.
When they were about to part, Mu Youran cried and begged not to be separated from the little prince. It was only after Liu Ruyan promised to take her to Wen Mansion to find her little brother the next day that the little girl reluctantly stopped crying.
