Chapter 168 Watching the little dumpling eat is simply a delightful experience.
Fearing that Stone might be afraid of strangers, I spoke to him gently and explained that he was going to take a bath.
"Stone, be good. Shengsheng will come back to you after she finishes eating. Don't yell at others unless someone tries to hurt you. In that case, you can bite them without hesitation. Otherwise, be gentle, okay?"
Little Stone nodded obediently: "Okay."
Stone stuck out his tongue and licked Sheng Sheng's hand. Only then did Sheng Sheng feel relieved and led Xie Yunxiang and Xie Yunchuan away, with Xie Yunqi following behind.
Once the children left, the once lively tent immediately became deserted.
Even Xie Yuxiao, who always preferred peace and quiet, felt a little empty. He sighed and then had someone take the stone down to bathe.
The children came running happily into Xie Yunjia's tent for a meal. As soon as they entered, Xie Yunjia picked them up and looked them over for a while.
A confused voice asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Xie Yunjia leaned closer and sniffed, smelling a grassy scent on the little dumpling.
"You really brought a white tiger back?"
At this moment, Xie Yunqi acted as if he had never argued with Xie Yunjia before, and he no longer felt annoyed talking to Xie Yunjia. He proudly boasted, "Of course, I even touched the tiger's butt!"
Xie Yunjia gave a nonchalant "oh" and ignored him. She put the little dumpling down, invited the others to sit down for dinner, and then sat down to the right of the little dumpling.
Xiao Bawang was extremely unhappy to be ignored, feeling that Xie Yunjia's reaction was too bland, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Hey, what do you mean? Are you looking down on me? If you're so capable, why don't you touch it yourself!"
Xie Yunjia glared at him and cursed, "Get lost."
Xie Yunqi felt relieved after being scolded by Xie Yunjia. She was smug about something and actually laughed, "Ah, that's more like it! That's the kind of royal sister I know!"
If Xie Yunjia were gentle, then she wouldn't be the Xie Yunjia he knew. This is how his beloved elder sister should be.
He was ashamed and said, "...Fifth Brother, why did you ask for a scolding?"
Xie Yunqi flicked his sleeve: "Sis, you're too young to understand. You'll understand when you grow up. Think about it, you get scolded by your sister every day. If one day she suddenly stops scolding you, wouldn't you feel strange? Just now, I provoked her like that, and she only said 'Oh.' I almost suspected that she had been possessed."
"..." Okay, Sheng Sheng really doesn't understand.
Xie Yunjia was speechless: "Xie Yunqi, are you having another episode? You get upset if I ignore you, and you have to make sure people scold you. If you're having an episode, just do it, don't let Shengsheng corrupt you."
Xie Yunqi clicked her tongue and turned her face away to complain to Sheng Sheng, "You see, this is the real face of the Imperial Sister. I'm relieved to see her like this."
Everyone: "..."
I didn't really understand what Xie Yunqi was worried about.
Xie Yunjia was speechless for a while because Xie Yunqi was making her angry. She was afraid that if she listened to him for a few more words, she would throw the food in his face, so she simply lowered her head to watch the little dumpling eat.
Little Dumpling liked to mix her rice with the broth, so Xie Yunchuan ladled out the braised beef and potatoes she had been longing for. Consort Li also sent over a few light vegetarian dishes. The meat and vegetables were mixed together, and the dark brown broth was poured over the rice, making it incredibly fragrant.
Xie Yunjia recalled that when the siblings went to Yunshan Farm last time, the little dumpling ate in the same way.
Everyone else eats a bite of rice and a bite of vegetables, but Xiao Tuanzi loves to eat half a spoonful of rice and half a spoonful of vegetables together.
The little dumpling put a big spoonful into its mouth, its cheeks puffed out, chewing in small movements, like a little hamster hiding its food.
Enjoying the meal, the little dumpling hummed a song and swayed back and forth, her fists clenched together, and the "rabbit ears" on her head swaying along with her, unable to hide her happiness.
Xie Yunchuan picked up some stir-fried spinach for her, wiped the oil off her lips, and whispered, "Eat more vegetables. The imperial physician said you always have internal heat, so you should eat more spinach to clear it up."
"Mmm!"
The little dumpling obediently scooped up the spinach, then pushed the beef brisket onto the spoon. That wasn't enough; the cucumber and egg stir-fry and shredded carrots also had to be added to the spoon.
The portions can be small, but they must be neatly arranged so that you can taste every dish in one bite.
After all the dishes were served, the little dumpling contentedly ate some rice and stuffed it all into her mouth, her cheeks, which had just calmed down, immediately turned into a hamster-like face again.
After chewing a few times, the little dumpling seemed to be overwhelmed with happiness, letting out a satisfied sigh, as if nothing in the world mattered as long as there was delicious food.
"Hah! Hah!"
Xie Yunjia laughed as she watched; she found it hard to believe that someone could make even eating so interesting.
The food outside is not as good as in the palace; it is always coarser and consists of very ordinary home-cooked dishes, unlike in the palace where you can eat all kinds of delicacies.
The food that Xie Yunjia usually wouldn't even look at seemed to smell delicious because of the little dumpling. Watching the little dumpling eat was quite a fun thing.
Xie Yunjia suddenly felt hungry. She hadn't had much of an appetite lately and hadn't eaten much.
But watching the little dumpling eat, Xie Yunjia suddenly felt hungry and wondered, "Are these things really that delicious?"
The little dumpling was eating heartily when she suddenly noticed Xie Yunjia staring intently at her bowl. After a moment's silence, she scooped up a spoonful of potato and beef brisket and held it to her lips: "Your Highness, eat!"
"I've already eaten."
Xie Yunjia chewed subconsciously, but the food around her mouth emitted a fragrant aroma, and Xie Yunjia suddenly wanted to open her mouth and bite into the food.
Xiao Tao felt sorry for her princess, Xie Yunjia, who had a poor appetite. Recently, Xie Yunjia had been eating very little, and Xiao Tao was worried that something might happen to her health.
Seeing Sheng Sheng handing her meat, Xiao Tao quickly urged, "Princess, please eat some. You haven't had much of an appetite lately, and you've gotten so thin! The Second Princess has already urged you to eat, so please eat something, Princess."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yun asked with concern, "What's wrong, my royal sister? Why don't you call the imperial physician to take a look if you have a poor appetite? Don't ruin your health."
"It's nothing, I just don't feel like eating much, it's nothing serious."
Xie Yun-yang disagreed: "You can't say that. Food is the most important thing for people. If you don't eat, where will you get the strength to do anything else? Health is the most important thing. When we get to Shanglin Hunting Ground tonight, I'll call the imperial physician to take a look at you."
Sheng Sheng nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, no wonder I always thought you looked a little haggard, it turns out you were hungry!"
Sheng Sheng pushed the spoon forward a little.
"Your Highness, eat up! This was specially prepared for Sheng Sheng by Your Highness. Your Highness should eat some too. It's so delicious! I never imagined that the chefs in Your Highness's palace could cook such delicious food!"
The little dumpling's eyes were bright, and it looked at her with anticipation.
Xie Yunjia hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth and ate it, smiling gently as she looked at her expectantly: "Is it good?"
