The emperor pondered the "grand gift" mentioned by the Ninth Prince, and then returned to the carriage with Li Deshan.
The Ninth Prince carried Yuan Yao in his arms and walked back, asking, "Were you frightened?"
Yuan Yao hugged his neck and shook her head: "Yao'er isn't so scared anymore, she's gotten used to it."
With the words "I'm used to it," the Ninth Prince's voice softened: "It's because your father isn't capable enough to protect you..."
"No way!" Yuan Yao interrupted him in her childish voice: "In Yao'er's eyes, Daddy is the most powerful person in the world!"
Besides, Father, you've protected Yao'er well enough!
Because of the protection and pampering of the Ninth Prince, she was able to quickly adapt to her new life.
It was because of his high position that she was able to live so freely and happily...
Thinking it over, Yuan Yao pressed her face against the Ninth Prince's cheek and obediently said, "Father, Yao'er is not that fragile."
She's mentally over twenty.
However, perhaps it was after coming here and being influenced by this small body that she became much more childish.
However, it does suit her baby's age better.
The Ninth Prince gazed at her for a long time, then gently kissed her forehead, his voice pure and innocent: "Good girl..."
The warmth from her forehead still lingered, and Yuan Yao blushed slightly.
Beautiful Daddy kissed her!
Yuan Yao was both shy and happy. She mustered up her courage and gave the Ninth Prince a kiss on the cheek.
"You little dumpling..." The Ninth Prince chuckled.
The father and daughter returned to the shore.
The emperor's men have already appeased the officials and their families.
After resting for another half hour, the team set off again.
By the river, Danqing had brought several young palace maids with her to guard the fire and the crabs...
Seeing this, Yuan Yao said to the Ninth Prince, "Father, the crabs are ready. Yao'er will go and see them and share them with Xie Zhi and the others."
"Go." The Ninth Prince bent down and put her down from his arms.
Yuan Yao happily ran to the riverbank.
When Danqing saw her return, he asked gently, "Princess, how should we distribute these crabs?"
Yuan Yao glanced at the shore.
After a moment, she said, "Let's give each of the children in the group two of the same kind. Any more than that won't be enough."
In addition, give a few more to the young prince, the two princesses, Xie Zhi, and Lin Xuan.
"The rest are for me. I'll take a few to Yunchan and my uncle."
I estimate there won't be many left.
Danqing nodded: "This servant will have someone distribute them immediately."
After a cup of tea, Danqing brought over the remaining crabs: "Princess, these are the ones left."
Yuan Yao looked down.
There are five or six steamed river crabs left, three spicy crabs left, and five or six grilled crabs left as well.
Yuan Yao grabbed two steamed river crabs in one hand and two grilled crabs in the other, and happily ran to the Ninth Prince: "Daddy, eat crabs!"
Her hands were so small that she could barely catch the crab.
She's adorable no matter how you look at her.
The Ninth Prince curled his lips: "I'm involved too?"
Yuan Yao nodded: "Yes! Other adults don't have this! This is specially for Father, Father, please try it!"
The Ninth Prince chuckled: "I am truly blessed."
"Father, catch!"
Regardless of whether he wanted it or not, Yuan Yao reached out and stuffed the crab into the Ninth Prince's hand.
She wiped these crabs clean and clean, leaving not a trace of moisture.
Holding the warm crab in his hand, the Ninth Prince smiled with great pleasure: "This river crab is quite good."
Yuan Yao said happily, "Father, Yao'er will take the remaining crabs to Yun Chan and A Ning!"
"Go," the Ninth Prince said gently.
Yuan Yao waved to Danqing and skipped towards Yun Chan's carriage.
Yun Chan was reading a book when the carriage curtain was pulled open.
Yuan Yao's fair and tender face was full of smiles: "Yun Chan, I've come to bring you crabs."
Upon hearing the word "crab," Yun Chan couldn't help but recall how happily she and the others had looked in the river just moments before.
Yun Chan was a little annoyed and said coldly, "I told you, I don't eat crabs. Take them back."
After speaking, he covered his mouth and coughed again.
Take it back?
She brought the crabs in front of so many people; it would be so embarrassing to take them back.
Yuan Yao used both hands and feet to climb onto the carriage, took the crab from Dan Qing's hand, and brought it to Yun Chan's nose: "Smell it, does this crab smell good?"
Yun Chan: "..."
His nose twitched slightly: "Yuan Yao..."
"Fine, don't eat then!" Yuan Yao interrupted him first: "I was thinking that you'd be bored by yourself, so I came here to eat with you!"
If you don't eat, I'll just go and eat with someone else!
After speaking, she put the crab back.
At this moment, Yun Chan said, "I... will eat."
"Huh?" Yuan Yao didn't hear clearly.
Yun Chan said coldly, "I said, you can eat here."
oh!
So he still wanted to eat it!
It was just a little quirk!
So cute!
Yuan Yao smiled happily and asked Danqing to put the crabs on the carriage's storage rack.
She took off her shoes, crossed her short legs, and sat near the carriage curtain.
Yun Chan shifted her body slightly: "Sit closer, don't fall."
"It's alright, I'm small, I won't take up too much space." Yuan Yao smiled and took the damp handkerchief handed to her by the maid, carefully wiping her hands clean.
After wiping her hands, she asked Yunchan, "Which one would you like to eat first?"
Yun Chan glanced at the dish: "Steamed."
"Uh-huh!"
Yuan Yao picked up a steamed crab and skillfully peeled off its shell.
Seeing this, Danqing quickly said, "Princess, this servant will peel it for you."
"No need, no need!" Yuan Yao waved her hand: "You pick two crabs and take them to A Ning and A Qi!"
Danqing said with a hint of helplessness, "This servant will go right away..."
Once Danqing left, only Yuan Yao and Yun Chan remained in the carriage.
Yuan Yao was small in strength, with small hands and soft nails, so it took her a lot of effort to peel a crab shell.
Yun Chan was reading a book when she glanced at Yuan Yao and saw that every strand of her hair was being strained, which made her frown.
He put down his book and opened his palm, which was twice the size of Yuan Yao's: "Give it to me."
"Do you know how to peel it?" Yuan Yao asked curiously.
Yun Chan's lips twitched slightly, and she said calmly, "Although I am not favored in Chu, I still have plenty to eat and wear."
The subtext is that he doesn't care about crabs at all.
"All right……"
Yuan Yao placed the crab in Yun Chan's hand.
He pulled open a box on the carriage and took out a small, exquisitely crafted silver knife.
Yuan Yao was shocked.
A little tiff, and you still carry a knife around??
Yun Chan glanced at her: "This is what A Qi kept to peel fruit for me."
Yuan Yao: "Mmm!"
She almost believed it.
Carry a knife with you to peel fruit?
Do you think she's stupid?
Then she should just pretend to be stupid!
Yun Chan is beautiful, with beautiful hands, and even the way she does things is so beautiful that it's hard to look away.
He slowly and methodically pried open the crab shell, set the empty shell aside, and then carefully picked out the meat from the shell and legs, placing it inside the empty shell...
Perhaps it's because the water quality is good, but the crabs were surprisingly plump and had a lot of meat!
As Yuan Yao watched, she silently swallowed.
Yun Chan's lips curved slightly: "In the State of Chu, there is a large lake. In the lake, there are lotus roots, water chestnuts, and plump crabs, shrimps, and fish..."
If you have the chance someday, you can try the crabs from that lake.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao cupped her face and said, "It sounds amazing! But I feel like I won't have a chance to go!"
I don't know the way at all, how can I find that lake?
Upon hearing this, Yun Chan looked up and said, "When you grow up, I can take you there."
