Green Luo had never seen a couple like their Crown Prince's wife and son.
"...No, it's just that I always feel like I'm overlooking something, but when I try to think about it carefully, I can't remember what it is."
Red Luo shook her head, also wanting Green Luo to help her think of something.
Green Ivy had no idea what she was thinking, so how could she possibly know what she had overlooked?
After pondering for a long time, Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai finally returned, but they still couldn't remember what they had forgotten. Seeing their two masters coming over, the two quickly went to greet them.
Although she slept for a while after coming back from outside, Jiang Xuelin was still very sleepy. She washed up a little and lay down. After Jiang Xuelin fell asleep, Fu Hanlai poked her face in dissatisfaction before muttering something and lying down.
Hongluo told Lvluo to go and rest first, and she would come back to relieve her tomorrow.
Of the two, Hongluo was better at martial arts and had a better physique than Luluo. Luluo must have been very tired from the journey, but Hongluo could still hold on.
At 1:15 AM, Jiang Xuelin, who had been sleeping soundly, was slowly awakened by the hunger in her stomach. She turned over, threw off the covers, and sat up. "Hongluo? Hongluo?"
Upon hearing Jiang Xuelin's call, Hongluo immediately pushed open the door and entered. "This servant is here. What are your orders, Princess Consort?"
"I'm a little hungry." Touching her burning stomach, Jiang Xuelin felt like she could eat a whole cow right now. "Quickly, have the kitchen send over some pastries to calm my stomach. I'm starving!"
It felt like she hadn't eaten for days. Jiang Xuelin guessed that she had vomited in the evening, so she had vomited up some of her food. She hadn't eaten dinner, so she woke up hungry now.
Upon hearing Jiang Xuelin say she was very hungry, Hongluo quickly responded and was about to leave, "Hey, right, see if there's anything savory, I don't want anything sweet in the middle of the night."
"Yes, this servant will go right away. Your Highness, please wait a moment, this servant will be right back."
Oh dear, their daughter is starving! She needs to hurry and prepare something.
Jiang Xuelin put on a cloak to keep herself warm. She was really hungry, so she got up and went to the outer room. Thinking of the snacks she had eaten on the way, her mouth watered. By the time Hongluo hurriedly brought over two plates of snacks, Jiang Xuelin's eyes were already shining with hunger.
"Let me try it!"
Hongluo put down the snacks and then quickly brewed a pot of tea to prevent Jiang Xuelin from feeling too thirsty later.
The kitchen staff didn't know the masters' tastes, so they left both sweet and savory food, which is why Hongluo was able to return so quickly. Seeing Jiang Xuelin wolfing down his food, Hongluo felt a little sorry for him.
"Please take your time, Your Highness. No one will take it from you. There's more in the small kitchen, and I've asked them to prepare some more... Be careful not to choke, have some water..."
Normally, Hongluo would never have advised her like this, but Jiang Xuelin was eating too fast, clearly very hungry.
She said no one would compete with Jiang Xuelin for it, but a moment later a hand with distinct knuckles reached out from the side, grabbed a pastry from the plate and took a bite. "Hongluo, quickly go and get some more. I'm hungry too. Make me a pot of tea as well."
He was so angry with Jiang Xuelin that he didn't eat dinner. Jiang Xuelin is now eating in front of him, which makes him hungry.
Fu Hanlai wasn't woken up when Jiang Xuelin first got up. He only woke up when Jiang Xuelin started eating snacks and Hongluo was urging her to eat.
Then I realized I was starving.
Jiang Xuelin didn't say anything, but just glanced at Fu Hanlai while eating. After finishing a plate of pastries, the burning sensation in her stomach finally subsided a bit.
But I'm still not full.
I don't really want to eat anymore.
Once she was no longer hungry, she really didn't have much of an appetite for the snacks in front of her. Jiang Xuelin simply pushed the rest of them in front of Fu Hanlai, saying, "You eat them, I don't want to eat anymore."
Fu Hanlai paused, looked up abruptly, and almost jumped up, “…Jiang Xuelin, you weren’t going to say that you’d lose your appetite after seeing me, were you?”
He didn't want to either!
The events of the day had just passed, and he was genuinely worried that this brat would say such things.
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
What's wrong with me!
She just didn't feel very hungry anymore; was Fu Ashou having another episode?
"I just ate a plateful to fill my stomach; I don't really want to eat any more of this."
Fu Hanlai then softened his prickly demeanor. "...You're smart to know what's good for you!"
Hongluo was worried that Fu Hanlai and Jiang Xuelin would finish eating quickly, so she went to the small kitchen very fast and returned in almost no time.
“Hey, Fu Ashou.”
Seeing Fu Hanlai eating slowly, Jiang Xuelin propped her chin up and watched for a while before suddenly calling out.
"What are you doing?" Fu Hanlai was drinking the white fungus soup in front of him and didn't even look up when he heard this.
"Do you remember the restaurant where we had lunch today?"
"I remember? I'm young, not some old person with a bad memory. How could I not remember? What's wrong? Have you taken a fancy to that singing girl in the restaurant?"
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
You're talking nonsense again!
Although she did find the soft, gentle Wu dialect melting her heart, how could a young woman like her possibly fall for that girl?
"Do you remember the dishes on our table at noon? That plate of Mapo Tofu, remember?"
Mentioning Mapo Tofu made Fu Hanlai's teeth ache. He didn't know what was wrong with Jiang Xuelin, but she insisted on having a plate of Mapo Tofu after seeing it. The bright red chili peppers on it were intimidating. Fu Hanlai hadn't eaten a single bite, but Jiang Xuelin was enjoying it immensely.
