Chapter 148 Barbecue

"The person is gone, it's okay." Wu turned and said to Jiang Zhiyuan who was lying on the bed.

Jiang Zhiyuan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes: "Old man, you scared me to death, luckily I ran fast."

Jiang Zhiyuan sat up, lifted the quilt, and still had shoes on his feet.

It was very cold in the capital in the month of Rambutan.

The queen ordered the palace servants to burn the charcoal fire vigorously, and the inner room was warm.

After lunch, Xia Miaoyuan refused to take a nap. She lay on the carpet, sticking out her little butt, watching Xiaojuzi eat.

The queen specifically ordered the small kitchen to make soft, glutinous and easy-to-digest fish porridge for Xiaojuzi.

Xia Miaoyuan smelled it and squinted his eyes in ecstasy.

[This fish porridge tastes really good. ]

"Eat quickly, eat quickly!" Xia Miaoyuan said to Xiaojuzi in a baby voice.

Little Orange licked it with her tongue, let out a cheerful cry, and began to eat it mouthful by mouthful.

Maomao, who was lying in the house, smelled the fragrance, ran over, buried his face in the bowl, and took a big bite.

Little Orange meowed in dissatisfaction.

[Maomao, don't steal the cat's food! ]

"Maomao, don't!" Xia Miaoyuan stood up, hugged Maomao's neck, and pulled it back to the mat.

However, Maomao was taller than her now, and it was really hard to pull it over.

Xia Miaoyuan panted heavily.

[Oh, when will this princess grow up! ]

Maomao was forcibly dragged back to the nest, and looked at the bowl of fish porridge reluctantly.

The queen sat aside and looked at the account book. Seeing her daughter worrying and struggling to take care of two pets, she was so tired that she was panting and gasping. It was very funny, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Linbu has come to give you a New Year's gift, and also brought you a letter!"

Suddenly, Xiao Luzi's voice came.

The queen's eyes lit up: "Hurry up and show it to me."

[Is it a letter from grandpa and grandmother? ]

When Xia Miaoyuan heard the letter from Xiao Linbu, she didn't care about supervising Xiaojuzi's meal, and immediately got up from the carpet and ran to the queen.

The queen unfolded the letter and read it silently, and her eyes became red as she read.

Xia Miaoyuan squeezed into the queen's arms and looked at the letter. It said that everything on it was well with the mother's family, and greeted the queen and the little princess, etc.

Since the empress married to Daxia from the Xiaolin tribe when she was more than ten years old, she has never been back.

As for the empress's parents, they only come to Daxia once every few years.

So just now, when the empress saw the letter from home, she felt homesick all of a sudden.

[Mother, what's wrong with you? Are you sad?]

Xia Miaoyuan climbed onto the empress's lap, looked at her red eyes, and felt uncomfortable.

"Mother!" Xia Miaoyuan called in a baby voice, stretched out her hand to hook the empress's neck, and kissed her hard on the face.

[Miao'er kiss, mother will not feel uncomfortable. Don't cry.]

"The emperor is here!"

Suddenly, Debao's sharp voice came in.

[Daddy is here! I'll go see!]

Xia Miaoyuan slipped down and ran outside on his short legs.

After running just seven or eight steps, she bumped into Xia Zhengqi's legs.

Xia Zhengqi leaned over, picked her up, and walked towards the Queen.

Before the Queen could bow, Xia Zhengqi had already arrived in front of her and touched her shoulders.

"Ruoyu, I knew you must be secretly sad."

Xia Zhengqi sat down next to the Queen and held her hand distressedly.

"If you miss your parents-in-law too much, go back to see them when the weather gets warmer."

"Really?" The Queen was surprised and excited.

"You are my Queen, the mother of a country, so you can naturally go back to your parents' home to visit your relatives!" Xia Zhengqi put his arms around the Queen's shoulders, and the Queen nestled in Xia Zhengqi's arms like a little bird.

All the palace maids in the room silently retreated with a look of approval.

[No way, no way, do you really need to show off like this?]

[I'm still here! Oh my God, are you completely ignoring my existence?]

Xia Miaoyuan raised her little fist with a surprised look.

The emperor and the empress smiled at each other, pulled Xia Miaoyuan into their arms, and hugged her tightly.

[Oh, that's more like it.]

"By the way, Ruoyu, your father-in-law and mother-in-law specially sent you a lot of fat sheep. Why don't we roast some mutton! Just like you guys in the Xiaolin tribe, roast and eat it."

The empress smiled innocently: "That's great, of course, I couldn't ask for more."

"Call the prince and the second son as well, let's have some fun."

[Wow! Roasted mutton? Great! Finally I can eat meat! 】Xia Miaoyuan jumped up excitedly and jumped directly to the ground.

"Great! Great!" Xia Miaoyuan's little voice echoed throughout the Kunning Palace.

[Let's get some more lamb skewers! Eating skewers is the most enjoyable! ]

Lamb skewers?

What are lamb skewers?

The emperor and the empress looked at each other, a little confused.

In an afternoon, the kitchen had slaughtered the sheep, prepared the ingredients, the barbecue stove, and various barbecue tools. At

dinner time, the emperor, the empress, the crown prince, the second prince, and Xia Miaoyuan, a family of five, sat around in the flower hall.

The barbecue stove had been set up and all the ingredients were ready.

Xia Miaoyuan stared at the lamb chops and lamb legs with her big black eyes, imagining them being roasted and sizzling with oil, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

[Let's start, I can't wait! The worms are coming out! ]

[As a poor baby who has endured dairy products for nearly a year, roasted lamb is the salvation of her life! Woohoo! ]

[Roasted lamb, come on a little harder! I'll give you my whole stomach!]

The emperor, empress and the other three only found it funny to hear Xia Miaoyuan's strange thoughts, but they still suppressed their laughter and started roasting the lamb.

The fat and tender lamb chops and lamb legs were all put on the grill.

The emperor, empress and the other four all put on their overalls and started roasting the meat themselves.

The eunuchs and palace maids stood behind them and handed them various tools in due course.

Xia Miaoyuan was like a civet in a melon field, sneaking up to Xia Zhengqi to take a look, and seeing that the lamb legs roasted by the emperor father were not yet cooked, he sneaked up to his brother the crown prince and sniffed hard, like a happy puppy.

"Miao'er, don't worry. Brother's grilled lamb chops are not cooked yet. Wait patiently."

[Ahhh, I can only smell the fragrance but can't eat it. It's so painful!]

Xia Miaoyuan only felt the aroma of barbecue in the air, stimulating her taste buds, and the saliva in her mouth surged uncontrollably.

The second prince turned the ingredients with tongs and glanced at Xia Miaoyuan, but found that a line of saliva had already flowed down the corner of her mouth.

"Hahahaha! Sister is drooling!" The second prince laughed.

The empress and the prince looked at the corner of Xia Miaoyuan's mouth and laughed out loud.

The palace maids in the room couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The palace maids realized that they had lost their manners and immediately lowered their heads to hold back their laughter, and their shoulders were shaking.

Xia Miaoyuan wiped the corner of his mouth with his little hand, and there was indeed a long line of saliva.

[Ah! How embarrassing!]

[Second brother is really too much. You are taking advantage of others. Humph! I will ignore you!]

Xia Miaoyuan glared at the second prince fiercely.

"Miao'er, come here, eat a grilled mushroom first, this one is cooked." The second prince put the mushroom on the plate, sprinkled it with seasoning, and handed it to Xia Miaoyuan.

Xia Miaoyuan stiffened his neck and deliberately ignored him.
