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

"Then we'll 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 big.

Shen Chuwei raised his chin and said confidently, "Chunxi, the Queen said that we will have grilled fish for lunch."

Chunxi had guessed it and found out that they were plotting something big. Seeing the self-righteous look of his young mistress, he began to act recklessly, relying on the presence of the Queen.

Since the Queen wanted to eat, Chunxi of course had to go and do as she asked.

The little rabbit caught the fish from the fish pond in Xiyun Pavilion. The fish weighed three pounds and had tender meat, perfect for 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 delicious grilled fish was served on the table.

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

It was the first time that the queen saw such grilled fish. She was so greedy when she smelled the fragrance.

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

"Empress, we can start now."

The queen didn't even wait for Qingying to serve the food. 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.

To sum it up, this is the most delicious fish the Queen has ever eaten, no doubt about it.

The Queen wiped her nose with a handkerchief while expressing her opinion: "I have discovered that the chef in the imperial kitchen should be replaced. The food he cooks is neither original nor tasty."

Shen Chuwei ate the grilled fish she had been craving 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 it cannot be compared with modern times.

Even these pastries are not as delicate as modern ones.

Three pounds of grilled fish became an empty plate in a short while.

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

After the queen 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 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 refreshed you feel before eating, the more regretful you will be when you go to the toilet.

Finally, Shen Chuwei was supported by Chunxi to take a walk in the courtyard. 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 because he thought she was pregnant. Now that the dog emperor knows that she is not pregnant, why is he still touching her belly? When resting at night, the dog emperor tossed her around like this and that, then hugged her from behind and touched her belly.

I wish I could get pregnant with 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, how are you?"

Shen Chuwei'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 groan. If Shen Chuwei didn't dislike having others 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 inevitably had an unpleasant smell on her body, which affected 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.

The cat Xuetuan meowed and then ate the dried fish that Xiao Jinyu rewarded him with.

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 on. With her 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."

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

Maybe it’s because I was constipated today?

After Chunxi walked away, Shen Chuwei lifted her skirt and ran behind the rockery.

You read that right, he was running.

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

When Xiao Jinyu saw this, he was so scared that he ran over and supported Shen Chuwei.

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

"It's okay. I know my limits." Although Shen Chuwei had an eight-month-old belly, her body was still relatively agile. After all, in order to feed herself, she had to use all her strength to suckle.

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

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

The lid was opened and 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, and she thought it smelled good. She couldn't wait to pick up the spoon, scoop some into her mouth to taste it.

It tasted better than I expected, and since I had never eaten it before, 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 plague in Qinghe Town outside the city. Father has handed this matter over to my brother to deal with, 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 bugs in the paddy field. There are too many of them. They have almost eaten all the wheat."

It was already late autumn, what kind of bugs could there be in the water? Shen Chuwei asked again: "What do those bugs look like?"

Xiao Jinyu recalled and narrated: "The body was dark red, with a long beard, and the two hands were like pliers, which pinched people and hurt."

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

She had been craving for crayfish for months but hadn't had any. If it was really crayfish, wouldn't it satisfy her craving? She looked at Xiao Jinyu expectantly, "Can you catch one for me to see?"

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: "If you bring me a few kilograms, I will give you prenatal education books."

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 crayfish 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 had people catch in the field."

Shen Chuwei took a look into the wooden barrel, and just this one look was enough to make her sure that this was the crayfish 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. "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 dear, how do I wash this?"

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

Chunxi shivered.

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

Xiao Jinyu watched Shen Chuwei catch the insect with nimble hands and feet and started washing it.

What if she is weak and can't take care of herself? Seeing Shen Chuwei's actions, Chunxi became bolder. At the beginning, she was a little afraid of being bitten when she washed, but later she became more proficient.

Afterwards, under the guidance of Shen Chuwei, the spicy crayfish with garlic flavor was served.

There was a whole pot, and Shen Chuwei sent some to the Queen Mother for tasting.

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