Actually, the Crown Prince doesn't need to be envious; his little princess, Princess Li, is likely carrying his first child.
However, no one can say for sure, because this Qing Dynasty is somewhat different from the Qing Dynasty that Khoja knew before. The time when Empress Tong died and the time when the eldest prince Yinzhi got married were different. The eleventh princess of Consort Niohuru was alive and well and did not die young, etc., and was ranked as the seventh princess.
The Imperial Concubine's seventh princess also arrived. She is seven years old this year, a beautiful little girl, and the princess with the highest birth among them. She also has a loving older brother, the good-for-nothing Shi, who is very lively.
After the baby's first birthday celebration, everyone took their seats. Yinzhi's other three daughters were too young, so they only made a brief appearance before going back to their rooms. Little Zhenbao couldn't sit alone at a table, as there were no girls of her generation to sit with.
Fortunately, it was a family banquet, so He Zhuo arranged for everyone to sit together: the First Princess Consort, the Third Princess Consort, the five princesses, and Little Zhenbao.
It is now the 25th day of the first month of the 31st year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. Winter has not yet passed, so there are two pots on the table, one for mutton and one for beef.
He Zhuo specifically instructed the nanny to tell the kitchen to prepare several dishes fresh, unlike the large bowls of dishes served during the New Year, which were topped with a layer of white grease that made them unappetizing.
He Zhuo had hardly ever dealt with the kitchen staff in the few years since she married into the family.
When Hezhuo returned to the Irgen Gioro family at the age of 7, he hadn't had two meals a day plus snacks and a late-night snack for a long time, and he was quite unaccustomed to it. After all, Hezhuo hadn't had a proper meal in nearly 200 years. He usually ate fasting pills, but if he was cultivating in seclusion, he didn't even need fasting pills; spiritual energy was enough.
The cultivation world also has spiritual food and spiritual wine. He Zhuo has quite a few spiritual wines in his storage ring, but his appreciation for spiritual food is just average; he's only eaten it a few times, and probably hasn't encountered anything good.
Good spiritual food is quite expensive and in short supply. Although cultivators don't place much importance on their appetite, good spiritual food can still enhance their physical constitution, hence the shortage.
He Zhuo has a master who is in the tribulation stage, so there is not much to worry about regarding his physical condition. Moreover, He Zhuo has been "exiled" to the mortal world by his master for a long time to refine his mind and accumulate merit.
Her cultivation level was also low; even the finest spiritual food would be a waste for someone of her level, and she couldn't withstand it.
The ordinary Golden Core cultivators could only enjoy fine spiritual food, which couldn't compare to what their master provided. So, they only tried it a few times when going out with their senior brothers and sisters, and found it to be just average.
After marrying into the palace, Khoja adapted very well to the life in the prince's quarters, where she received two meals a day plus a late-night snack.
On the contrary, it was Yinzhi who was growing up and always complained of hunger, so whenever Hezhuogu went out of the palace, she would bring back some things from the estate, usually things that could be stored, such as cured meat, salted meat, and salted duck eggs. There were also freshly slaughtered chickens, ducks, geese, and other poultry, as well as eggs and duck eggs. In addition, she would always bring back a large bag of dried meat.
The dried meat is made using a secret recipe by Granny Shao. She couldn't use this recipe before when she was with the Empress Dowager, but after He Zhuo got a dowry estate, she specially had her servants learn how to make it.
Besides being good at making medicinal cuisine, Granny Shao was also a skilled cook.
Yinzhi didn't like eating dry snacks in the evening, so Granny Shao would try to make him all sorts of things, such as various kinds of noodles and porridge, for his dinner.
Make all sorts of meat sauces and such.
The wheat flour and rice were provided from the daily rations of Prince Yinzhi and his primary wife. The wife of Prince Hezhuo received two catties of wheat flour and one liter and three measures of aged rice every day. The kitchen staff was always willing to pay a small amount of money, and there was nothing else to deal with.
