Chapter 201 Beauty is a feast for the eyes?
Breakfast had already been prepared, and Nanny Li led a group of servants straight to the room where the third princess was.
Everyone filed in, and several maids set down the large round table that they had specially prepared. The maids quickly filled the table with a sumptuous breakfast.
Xiao Tangbao ordered the screen to be removed, and sat on a chair with his back to his third aunt. He looked at the table full of hot and delicious food and uttered a heartfelt sigh of admiration:
"Wow! The food in the princess's mansion is so colorful and beautiful! It looks delicious just by looking at it! Isn't this what they call, 'beauty is a feast for the eyes'?"
Little Tangbao, completely unaware that she had misused an idiom again, pointed at the steamed egg closest to her and said in a baby voice, "I want to taste the tender steamed egg first!"
What etiquette? What rules? The little guy deliberately slurped his food, making smacking sounds. "Hmm~ This steamed egg is so soft and smooth. As soon as it went into my stomach, Tang Bao felt warm all over!"
Just at this moment, the door was pushed open again with a creaky sound.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, Chuntai actually brought out a large plate of steaming roasted lamb! ?
The strong and overbearing aroma of meat instantly exploded in the room, and it went straight into people's nasal cavity, like a fish hook with an alluring aroma, which made the third princess on the couch feel anxious and salivate.
Chuntai and Nanny Li both saw clearly that the Third Princess' throat rolled uncontrollably.
"Madame Li," Chuntai stared at the Third Princess and spoke in a voice that was deliberately respectful, "The food in our Prince Qing's Mansion has always been simple, not as elaborate as this..."
"Madam, could you please tell my princess what these foods are so that she can choose which ones to eat... If she tries everything, she'll probably be too full."
"Yes, yes!" Little Tang Bao stepped on the leg rest of the chair, lifted his little butt, and chirped in agreement, "When I was in the palace, the maids in the kitchen would explain to me how each dish was prepared. It was so interesting!"
Nanny Li's eyes twitched violently.
Even those who were not hungry felt their stomachs gnaw at the aroma of the meat, let alone the princess who had only relied on wild vegetables to fill her stomach every day and had been hungry for more than ten hours!
It’s not enough to serve a hearty dish like roasted lamb so early in the morning, but you have to explain every delicacy in detail?
Oh my God... I'm afraid the little princess is treating her master as a bad guy!
The princess has good intentions, but this trick... is a bit too mean!
Nanny Li subconsciously glanced at the couch and saw the Third Princess's eyelashes trembling slightly. She quickly turned her back, gritted her teeth, pointed at her master's favorite porridge oil and tofu skin buns, and raised her voice:
"My Lady, this porridge oil is made by slowly simmering high-quality corn with spring water, skimming off the top layer of fat. It's extremely delicate and sticky, nourishing the stomach and spleen, and very easy to digest!"
"Tofu skin buns filled with chopped egg, mushrooms, and bok choy, fried until golden brown on both sides, are perfect for breakfast!"
"Hmm~" Little Tangbao took a sip of the porridge oil and squinted her eyes in satisfaction, "Tangbao has never tasted such smooth and delicate porridge!" She had limited knowledge, so she just picked up the words from Li Ma's words.
Chuntai lowered his eyes, hiding a trace of disapproval - it was just millet porridge that was cooked for a longer time, and the soup was needed instead of rice.
The chef in Prince Qing’s mansion can do it too!
Seeing that the little princess put down the spoon after taking only one bite, Nanny Li hurriedly brought a bowl of bird's nest to her.
As usual, she used a silver needle to test for poison while speaking aloud, "My Lady, if you find the porridge too bland and don't like to drink it without rice grains, why not try this rock sugar bird's nest porridge?"
"This is made by simmering it gently over a low heat with one ounce of premium bird's nest, five qian of rock sugar, and silver bamboo shoots... Her Royal Highness used to love this dish, and the kitchen maids are very skilled at it, controlling the heat just right."
As usual, Xiao Tangbao picked up the spoon and took a sip...
Chuntai complained in her heart, is there rice in the bird's nest porridge?
These three dishes were all the favorites of her third princess, and none of them was the favorite of their little princess!
She glanced at the lotus root powder and osmanthus cake, fried spring rolls, almond tofu, and mandarin duck red bean paste buns on the table... Without waiting for Nanny Li to speak again, she picked up a big bowl and sat down opposite Xiao Tangbao.
"Our princess always likes soupy breakfasts. Come, princess, try these three-fresh wontons..."
"This is the stuffing that I watched the kitchen prepare early in the morning. I even had them wrap it small so that our princess can eat one in one bite!"
As she spoke, she fed a warm wonton into the little guy's mouth.
Tang Bao likes to use her brain and doesn't like to use her strength. She is happy to open her mouth when food comes, put down the spoon with a clang, and wait to be fed again with her legs shaking.
Seeing her cheeks bulging and her slow, leisurely eating like a hamster, Chuntai didn't rush her. After she swallowed the food in her mouth, she stuffed her with a mouthful of golden, crispy fried radish with pickles...
"This radish is pickled first and then fried. It's fresh, sweet, crispy and tender. It's very refreshing and goes perfectly with wontons!"
Little Tangbao ate a mouthful of wonton and a bite of side dish, feeling comfortable and relaxed.
Lying on the couch, the third princess, who was used to being hungry on weekdays, felt even more uncomfortable at this moment, with her chest pressing against her back and her stomach burning with pain!
The desire for food and drink is one of the greatest desires of human beings. How can it be suppressed by reason?
“Gurgle—”
Suddenly, an exceptionally clear and long sound rang out in the not-so-quiet room.
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the bed, then quickly looked away.
Little Tangbao shrank his neck, covered his mouth and laughed secretly.
"Wait, wait a minute before feeding it," she suddenly turned around and slid off the chair. "I suddenly thought of Mimi. Has she eaten? I'm worried. I have to go check on her!"
As soon as the voice fell, little Tangbao ran out as if he was on a hot wheel.
"Princess! You just had a meal, you can't run! Be careful or you might get a stitch in the side!" Chuntai's face changed, she threw down the bowl and hurriedly chased after him.
The maids in the room looked at each other and hurriedly followed him out.
Nanny Li, who was walking at the end, took a deep look at her master on the couch, and did not forget to close the door gently when she left.
She was shouting, not knowing who she was telling, "Um...don't clear out the food in the room yet. The little princess will need it when she comes back soon! Don't go into the princess's room if you don't have anything to do. Be careful not to let the wind blow the food cold!"
After saying that, she quickly walked around the yard, making some noise, and then quietly squatted under the window like Xiao Tangbao and Chuntai.
She wet her fingers with saliva, poked a hole in the window paper, squinted one eye and peeked into the room secretly.
Alas! I don’t know if the little princess’s idea will work…
The princess is ruining her body so much, I'm afraid she won't even be able to drink her medicine in the future...
