Su Qiqi loved the food in Shouning Palace as always.
She held the braised pork ribs in one hand and the sweet and sour chicken wings in the other, eating with gusto.
Soon, her face was covered with a lot of sauce and she turned into a dirty child.
He sat opposite Su Qiqi and could just see Su Qiqi's dirty little face.
He wanted to help Su Qiqi wipe her face, but he was a little far away.
After struggling internally for a moment, he couldn't help it.
He took out a white cotton handkerchief from his arms, stood up and walked quickly to Su Qiqi: "Come, let your uncle wipe it for you."
[You don't have to be so particular about cleanliness. Diners don't care about small details!]
Su Qiqi hummed and gnawed intently on the chicken wings and ribs in her hands.
The little face that had just been wiped clean was greasy again.
The Queen Mother covered her mouth and laughed, "Look, we were so busy chatting that we didn't notice that this little guy has turned into a little cat!"
Shen Mingyue said: "Qiqi likes to grab and chew on it herself and doesn't like to be fed by others."
Su Qiqi nodded seriously: "Yes, send it! Send a few sevens!"
【I want to eat by myself, no one cares about me! 】
【Eat it yourself, take whatever you want, and feel happy with the meat in your hand!】
[You guys made the food into a paste and fed it to me. It doesn't taste good at all. I'm missing out on a lot of fun!]
Su Qiqi was humming in her heart, but her hands and mouth never stopped moving.
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded at Su Qiqi, her eyes full of admiration. "As the old saying goes, 'You can have enough food and clothing if you work hard.' You're so young and don't want adults to feed you. You're a person with your own ideas. You won't cause us to worry in the future."
[Hahaha, you're really good at talking! Your mouth is like it's covered in honey! I'm almost embarrassed by all the praise.]
Su Qiqi muttered to herself, still shaking her head and eating non-stop.
Seeing this, everyone smiled dotingly.
Shen Jiayan straightened Su Qiqi's clothes and said, "Being able to eat is a blessing. Eat more, eat more."
The emperor said, "Jia Rui, your uncle is really worried about you."
Shen Mingyue said, "That's right. He was the one who took care of Qiqi the past two days. Sometimes he carried Qiqi to see the snow, and sometimes he read to her."
"Uncle is so partial. You never even took me to see the snow or read to me!"
Lu Hongxuan pretended to be angry, pouted his lips, and looked like "come and coax me quickly".
Shen Jiarui muttered, "You're old enough now, it's you who should be reading to us. Besides, why does a little man need to be held?"
"Yes, yes, that's right, uncle likes Qiqi. He only sees new people laughing, never old people crying!"
Lu Hongxuan's words made everyone laugh again.
Wanrong, with a golden face, couldn't help laughing.
After a while, the emperor sighed deeply: "Jia Rui, you like children so much, when will you have one of your own?"
"Fate is predestined by heaven, how can I force it?" Shen Jiarui said in a very low voice.
Shen Mingyue retorted, "Although fate is predetermined, some things must be fought for by oneself. Otherwise, even God can't help you."
"...I'll just go with the flow."
Shen Jiarui returned to his seat and sat down.
He glanced at Jin Wanrong inadvertently, only to find that the person was staring at him.
As a result, he became more panicked and his face turned redder.
Su Qiqi sighed helplessly, and said sarcastically in her heart: [I have some feelings for you, but I just won’t say it!]
【Hey, I'm going to make you guys anxious! 】
[Shen Jiarui, you are a ruthless person.]
"Never mind, this Gastrodia pigeon soup tastes good, try it."
The Queen Mother's words made everyone focus on the meal again.
"Come, come, come, Master, eat more!"
Lu Hongxuan picked up a large piece of chicken wings and put it in Mo Yunchi's bowl.
This meal was a joyful one.
After the meal, the Queen Mother stood up, but she felt dizzy and almost fell down when she staggered.
Lu Qingyuan, who was sitting next to the Queen Mother, was quick to support her: "Mother!"
The Queen Mother covered her head with her hands, her brows furrowed, obviously trying to suppress her discomfort.
Seeing this, Lu Qingyuan became even more worried: "Call the imperial physician, quickly call the imperial physician!"
The Queen Mother forced a smile. "It's just an old ailment. They're all minor problems. It won't cause any trouble. The wintersweets in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom. You can go and have a look."
As she spoke, she looked at Shen Jiayan who was standing beside her and said, "Qingyuan really likes the green plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden. Take her there quickly to pick a few and dry them to make sachets."
"Yes." Shen Jiayan responded.
The Queen Mother waved to Wan Shuang and said, "I am tired. Let's go back to the house and rest for a while."
"Hey, let me help you."
Wanshuang stepped forward, helped the empress dowager and left quickly.
Shen Jiayan came close to Lu Qingyuan and whispered, "The Queen Mother...seems very tired."
"Old people don't like to be tossed around. They become sleepy when they get older."
The emperor made up an excuse.
He smiled and stood up, walked over, took the handkerchief from Shen Mingyue's hand, and wiped Su Qiqi's mouth: "I have to take Qiqi to do something later. Go pick plum blossoms, but don't forget to pick a few for me too."
Lu Qingyuan nodded: "Okay, I'll break off a few for Mother as well."
Lu Hongxuan said excitedly: "I'll go too!"
"Okay, okay, let's go together."
Lu Qingyuan held Lu Hongxuan's hand, and Lu Hongxuan held Mo Yunchi.
Suddenly remembering something, Lu Qingyuan turned her head and looked at Jin Wanrong: "Miss Jin, come together. Jiarui, you come too."
"Oh, right away."
The two of them agreed in unison, then lowered their heads shyly and followed.
Shen Mingyue was still standing in front of the emperor, seemingly worried about something.
