Chapter 361: You've gained weight and you've given up on me, right? Can I eat this?

Shen Chuwei said mysteriously, "Your Majesty, no matter how you bake it, as long as it tastes good, it's fine."

The Queen's greed was aroused when she heard this, and she believed that Shen Chuwei was right.

"Then let's have grilled fish for lunch."

Chunxi watched the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law whispering from afar, and in her eyes, they were plotting something serious.

Shen Chu raised his chin slightly, and said righteously: "Chunxi, the Queen Mother said that we will have grilled fish for lunch."

Chunxi had guessed it and found out that he was plotting something big. Seeing his young mistress's righteous and confident look, he began to act recklessly, relying on the presence of the Empress.

If the Empress wants to eat, Chunxi must go and do it.

The fish was caught by the little rabbit in the fish pond of Xiyun Pavilion. The fish weighed three pounds and had tender meat, which was best eaten by grilling.

This was not the first time Chunxi had made grilled fish, so preparing the seasonings and marinating was a piece of cake for her.

It didn't take long before the fragrant grilled fish was served on the table.

In the baking dish, the soup is boiling and the aroma is overflowing.

It was the first time that the queen had seen such grilled fish. Just by smelling the aroma, she was extremely greedy.

Shen Chuwei had been craving for grilled fish for a long time, and finally got what she wanted. She was even more greedy than the queen, she urged.

"Your Majesty, we can start now."

The Queen did not wait for Qingying to serve the dishes. She picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks, brought it to her mouth to cool it down, and then put it into her mouth and started eating.

The fish is tender, garlicky and just the right amount of spicy without covering up the taste of the fish.

In short, this is the most delicious fish the Queen has ever eaten, bar none.

The queen wiped her nose with a handkerchief and expressed her opinion: "I find that the chef in the kitchen should be replaced. The food he cooks is not original and tastes bad."

Shen Chuwei was eating the grilled fish that had been simmering for a long time, and nodded in agreement with the Queen's opinion.

There were not as many condiments in ancient times as there are today, and many ingredients were not available, so of course they cannot be compared with modern times.

Even the pastries lack modern sophistication.

Three pounds of grilled fish was gone in no time.

Shen Chuwei wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and touched her belly with one hand, showing a satisfied expression.

After the empress had eaten and drunk her fill, she left Xiaoxiang Pavilion with the help of Qingying.

After wiping her mouth, Shen Chuwei held her waist and wanted to sleep on the couch for a while.

Before she lay down, Chunxi came over and said, "My lady, let's go for a walk to help digest the food."

Shen Chuwei was so sleepy at the moment that her legs were weak, let alone taking a walk.

"Would you mind waiting until I wake up before taking a walk?"

Chunxi advised: "My lady, it will be dark when you wake up. You ate so much today, and it was spicy. Taking a walk will help digestion and prevent constipation."

Constipation is most likely to occur in the late stages of pregnancy. The more cheerful you feel before eating, the more regretful you will feel when you go to the toilet.

Finally, Shen Chuwei was helped by Chun Xi to take a walk in the yard.

On the way back to Fengyi Palace, the Queen touched her belly and found that the fat on her belly seemed to have grown again. She asked Qingying, "Have I gained weight again?"

Qingying looked at the Queen's actions and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has been busy making clothes for the baby recently and has lost weight. How can you be fat?"

"Really?" The queen was skeptical.

A few days ago, the Dog Emperor touched her belly thinking she was pregnant. Now that the Dog Emperor knows she is not pregnant, why is he still touching her belly?

When resting at night, the dog emperor tormented her in this way and that, then hugged her from behind and touched her belly.

I wish I could have a princess someday.

The queen was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to raise her hands, and the hand on her belly was always restless.

Is the dog emperor losing his mind again?

Chunxi paced back and forth anxiously, looking behind the screen from time to time, "My lady, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Chu's weak groan came from behind the screen: "It's okay, I'm still alive!"

"My lady, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but you are pregnant now, how can you eat and drink as much as you did before? Now you feel uncomfortable, right?" Chunxi was anxious and distressed.

Behind the screen, Shen Chuwei held the handrail with both hands, her little face flushed red.

"Next time... I won't eat it!"

Chunxi listened to the muffled groaning sound. If Shen Chuwei didn't dislike having other people around, she would have rushed in to help.

"My lady, how are you now? How about I go in and help you?"

Shen Chuwei's face flushed, "No, it will be fine soon."

Finally, with a sigh, Shen Chuwei walked out from behind the screen.

Chunxi stepped forward to support Shen Chuwei, "My lady, I will ask someone to prepare water for bathing."

Shen Chuwei did not refuse. After going to the toilet, she would inevitably have an unpleasant smell on her body, which would affect her appetite a little.

That's right, her loyal little uncle is going to bring her food again.

In late autumn, the ground was covered with golden leaves overnight.

Little Palace Maid

Shen Chuwei was wearing a moon-white fox fur coat and was taking a walk with Chunxi's support.

After walking around twice, I heard a cat meowing.

Shen Chuwei raised his head and looked towards the courtyard wall, and saw a man and a cat lying on the tree.

The person was Xiao Jinyu, who was waving at her.

Snowball the cat cried out and then ate the dried fish given to him by Xiao Jinyu as a reward.

Shen Chuwei made an OK gesture to Xiao Jinyu.

"Chunxi, I'm a little thirsty. Lemon passion fruit tea tastes good."

Chunxi helped Shen Chuwei find a stone to sit down. With an eight-month-old belly, he was a little worried about letting her walk alone.

"My lady, please sit down and rest for a while. I will go and prepare."

Shen Chuwei nodded obediently, "Yeah, I'll wait for you here!"

Seeing that the young lady was so well behaved, Chunxi trotted to make tea. When she walked away, she wondered if the young lady was too well behaved today.

Maybe it’s because I was constipated today?

After Chunxi walked away, Shen Chuwei picked up the hem of her skirt and ran behind the rockery.

You read that right, it was indeed running.

If Chunxi saw this, she would probably be scared to death.

Xiao Jinyu saw it and was so scared that he ran over and supported Shen Chuwei.

"Sister-in-law, please go slowly. If you fall, I will be a sinner for all eternity."

"It's okay. I know my limits." Although Shen Chuwei was eight months pregnant, her body was still relatively agile. After all, in order to feed herself, she had to use all her breastfeeding strength.

Xiao Jinyu helped Shen Chuwei sit down on the stone behind the rockery, then opened the food box, took out the delicious food he had brought, and placed it in front of Shen Chuwei.

When the lid was opened, the fragrance filled the air.

"Sister-in-law, look, this is the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that I ordered from Babaozhai. Try it."

Shen Chuwei had never eaten Buddha Jumps Over the Wall before, but she thought it smelled good. She couldn't wait to pick up the spoon and scoop a mouthful into her mouth to taste it.

It tasted better than I expected, and I had never eaten it before, so I couldn’t help but eat more.

Xiao Jinyu looked at Shen Chuwei's greedy look and felt a little sorry for her. After she became pregnant, she even had to eat in secret.

"My brother probably won't be back tonight."

Shen Chuwei puffed up his cheeks and asked, "Why?"

Xiao Jinyu said, "There is an insect infestation in Qinghe Town outside the city. Father has handed this matter over to my brother to handle, and he hasn't figured out a solution yet."

Shen Chuwei was eating Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. No wonder Xiao Jinyan came back late these days. It turned out that he was busy with these things.

“Could it be locusts?”

Xiao Jinyu shook his head: "No, it's the insects in the paddy field. There are too many of them. They have almost eaten all the wheat."

It is already late autumn, what kind of insects could there be in the water?

Shen Chuwei asked again: "What does the insect look like?"

Hsiao recalled as he dictated: "His body was dark red, he had a long beard, and his hands were like pliers, they hurt when they pinched people."

As Shen Chuwei listened to Xiao Jinyu's description, stir-fried crayfish and spicy crayfish suddenly came to her mind.

She has been craving for crayfish for months and hasn't eaten any. If it is really crayfish, wouldn't it satisfy her craving?

She looked at Xiao Jinyu expectantly, "Can you catch one and show it to me?"

Xiao Jinyu said earnestly: "Sister-in-law, that thing is not fun. If it hurts you, my brother will definitely be angry."

Shen Chuwei said: "Who wants to play with it? I want to eat it!" She accidentally said what was in her heart~

Xiao Jinyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then advised: "Sister-in-law, no matter how greedy you are, you can't eat that thing. What if it is poisonous?"

Shen Chuwei threatened and lured her: "Give me a few kilograms and I will give you a prenatal education book."

Xiao Jinyu has always wanted a prenatal education book, but Shen Chuwei has never given it to him, saying that he doesn't need it for the time being.

"real?"

Shen Chuwei swore: "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!"

Xiao Jinyu high-fived her: "Deal!"

Xiao Jinyu climbed over the wall nimbly with the lunch box in hand.

Shen Chuwei was already looking forward to it, hoping it would be lobster so that she could satisfy her craving.

Xiao Jinyu did not lie to her. Qin Xiao brought back a message saying that the prince would not be back tonight and asked her to finish her dinner and rest early.

"Tell His Highness that I will be obedient and rest early."

After Qin Xiao left, Shen Chuwei ate obediently and went to bed early.

The next day, Shen Chuwei began to look forward to Xiao Jinyu's arrival.

It was not until the afternoon that she saw Xiao Jinyu jumping down from the wall carrying a wooden barrel.

"Sister-in-law, look, this is what I asked someone to catch in the field."

Shen Chuwei took a look into the wooden barrel, and just this one look was enough for her to confirm that this was the lobster she had been thinking about.

She cried with joy, "Little uncle, we can have a good meal now."

Xiao Jinyu looked at the bugs in the bucket and got goosebumps all over his body. "Sister-in-law, do you really want to eat them?"

"Of course, just wait and eat it." Shen Chuwei instructed Chunxi: "Wash it clean and stir-fry it later."

Chunxi was scared just by looking at the bugs, let alone washing them.

"My lady, how do you wash this?"

Shen Chu smiled slightly: "I'll teach you."

Chunxi shivered.

"Sister-in-law, it bites..."

Xiao Jinyu watched Shen Chuwei catch the insects nimbly and start washing them.

What about the promise that you’re too weak to take care of yourself?

Chunxi became braver after seeing Shen Chuwei's movements. He was a little afraid of being bitten when he started washing, but later he became more proficient at it.

Afterwards, under the guidance of Shen Chuwei, the spicy garlic crayfish came out of the pot.

There was a whole pot of food, and Shen Chuwei sent someone to send some to the Empress for her to taste.

The rest of them put on disposable gloves and ate their first lobster in history under the verbal guidance of Shen Chuwei.
