Lan Linxue had never eaten such a rough meal before, but he had also never eaten such a delicious meal.
At first, Lan Linxue thought the meal would be hard to swallow, and he only sat down to sit next to Qin Kou'er.
But for some reason, seeing everyone else eating and drinking soup with gusto, Lan Linxue also felt hungry. Then, as she ate, Lan Linxue started to eat seriously and even started to eat the pickled vegetables.
The soup was a hot and sour soup, and a big mouthful of it was sour and warmed you from your mouth to your heart. Paired with pickled vegetables and cured meat, Lan Linxue actually ate it with great interest.
After finishing one steamed bun, he wanted to eat another one.
Lan Linxue looked up at the plate, only to find that the steamed buns were gone.
Lan Linxue immediately looked at the woman, "Steamed bun!"
The eldest sister-in-law was already surprised to see Lan Linxue eating steamed buns, but she didn't expect Lan Linxue to ask for another one.
For a moment, I was a little unresponsive.
Just as Lan Linxue was about to frown, her sister-in-law finally reacted, smiling and replying twice, "Yes! Yes!" before quickly turning around to get the steamed buns. She even brought over the biggest and best ones.
Lan Linxue nodded in satisfaction, then picked up another small piece of pickled vegetable and looked at it with great interest. "What is this made of? It's not salty at all, and it's even spiced! It's really delicious!"
After saying that, he threw it directly into his mouth.
Lan Linxue was eating with great enthusiasm, while Qin Kou'er and the others were staring at him in astonishment.
My goodness, this is really something, you can see everything after living so long.
Lan Linxue actually ate steamed buns on her own initiative? In the past, steamed buns were absolutely forbidden to appear under anyone's nose, otherwise it would be terrible if they blocked the Crown Prince's line of sight.
As for pickled vegetables and such, those are just legends.
But what's going on now? Not only did Grandpa Lan eat steamed buns, he could eat two! Two steamed buns were simply unbelievable for him.
Qin Kou'er will never forget the scene of Lan Linxue throwing food into her bowl while she was eating. Even when Lan Linxue encountered her favorite food, he would only eat a small bowl at most, and he said he felt disgusted if he ate more than one bite.
But now, looking at Lan Linxue, Qin Kou'er found it unbelievable.
Just as Qin Kou'er was struggling to swallow the steamed bun in her mouth, and was also trying to digest the fact that Grandpa Lan was eating steamed buns, Lan Linxue suddenly laughed as if he had discovered some unexpected treasure, picked up something with his chopsticks, and excitedly turned to Qin Kou'er, saying, "Kou'er, look, there's meat in this pickled vegetable!"
It was a very thin strip of meat, obviously a side dish when stir-frying pickled vegetables, but in Lan Linxue's eyes, this strip of meat had extraordinary significance.
He found shredded meat in the bowl of pickled vegetables. Does that mean he's incredibly lucky? Is there bound to be an unexpected surprise?
So Grandpa Lan excitedly put the shredded meat into Qin Kou'er's bowl, and then looked at her with jealous excitement, saying, "Eat up! Eat more meat so you'll have the strength to work!"
Then, seeing that the steamed buns had returned, Lan Linxue immediately grabbed one, took a bite, and exclaimed, "Mmm, delicious!"
Qin Kou'er looked at the shredded meat in the bowl, then at Lan Linxue, and felt a sour and bitter feeling in her heart, not knowing exactly what it was.
Lao Qi and Gui Tou had never seen Lan Linxue like this before. Even in the most dangerous times, Grandpa Lan would be extremely picky about what he ate and wore. Sure enough, all sorts of things happen when you grow up! More importantly, now that he has Miss Qin, he can enjoy everything, even the wind.
The two glanced at each other, then quickly lowered their heads to eat.
Just as Lan Linxue was enjoying her meal, a person suddenly galloped up from a distance behind her, dismounted, and scrambled over to her. The person then quickly whispered a few words in Shuanghua's ear.
Shuanghua frowned and immediately headed towards Lan Linxue.
Upon seeing Lan Linxue, Shuanghua leaned down and quickly whispered a few words in Lan Linxue's ear.
Lan Linxue's chopsticks froze.
However, it only lasted for a moment, and then he continued eating and drinking soup as if nothing had happened.
However, Qin Kou'er could sense that the relaxed feeling on Lan Linxue's body had disappeared, replaced by an indescribable sense of oppression.
Qin Kou'er gently put down her chopsticks and turned to look at Lan Linxue quietly. She wanted to ask him if something had happened, but when she thought about what was going to happen that night, she felt a little bitter and didn't know how to start the conversation.
Seeing Lan Linxue still calmly eating, Shuanghua's brows furrowed even more.
"Can you stop eating?" Shuanghua suddenly said coldly.
Lao Qi and Gui Tou were startled.
Although Shuanghua and Lan Linxue usually acted like brothers without any formalities, Shuanghua had never overstepped his bounds in such a crowded place, and he would never speak to Lan Linxue like this. He would never do this unless something serious had happened.
The two slowly put down their chopsticks, their expressions gradually becoming serious as they looked at Lan Linxue.
Seeing them like this, the others were even less able to eat, so only Lan Linxue was left eating at the table.
Qin Kou'er looked at him, then sighed softly, nodded to her subordinates, and immediately everyone quietly got up and left.
Seeing that all the outsiders had left, Shuanghua couldn't help but shout, "Can't you say something? The Emperor's men are about to arrive!"
Qin Kou'er was immediately startled and looked up at Shuanghua in shock, "Does the Emperor know?"
Shuanghua nodded irritably, looking at the back of Lan Linxue's head, and said in an annoyed tone, "One prince lost his hand, another prince is lame, and the crown prince actually jumped off a cliff. They've turned the world upside down. It would be really strange if His Majesty didn't know! His Majesty's chief eunuch has already rushed from the capital with an urgent message, and is about to pass through Xuzhou and reach Yangzhou. It's said that he's here specifically to bring the crown prince back to the capital."
