Chapter 156, Chicken Soup
The royal palace was built at the foot of Wuhua Mountain, with the Grand Canal flowing through it. It is nestled between mountains and water, and the scenery is very beautiful.
Pavilions, waterside terraces, rockery and towers can be seen everywhere.
What surprised Daohua the most was that there was a pool in the east of the palace that looked like a swimming pool.
Seeing Daohua staring at the pool, Xiao Yeyang explained, "This is a place to cool off and take a bath in the summer. The water in the pool is drawn from a spring on the top of the mountain. The spring water is cool and refreshing, and soaking in it is very refreshing."
"We still need spring water?" Daohua sighed. The ancient dignitaries really knew how to enjoy themselves.
She couldn't even find a place to drink spring water, but here, people used it to take a bath.
The palace is too big. After visiting half of the rice flowers, I didn’t want to continue.
There's nothing we can do. The weather is too cold. It snowed last night and there's still a layer of snow on the eaves.
Rather than standing outside in the cold wind and watching the snow, she would rather stay in the house and do nothing.
Seeing Daohua's cheeks red from the cold, Xiao Yeyang said, "We've been walking around for most of the day, everyone must be tired. Let's go back to the house to rest and have some tea."
Although Yan Wenkai still felt a little unsatisfied, he nodded and said, "Okay, since we haven't finished shopping this time, we can continue next time."
Yan Wenxiu and Li Xingnian naturally responded.
The group quickly returned to the main hall.
Defu saw that Xiao Yeyang looked much better after walking out for a long time, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
These days, this little ancestor has been staying in his room and not going out, looking listless, which made him very worried. Now, he is feeling better after going out with Miss Yan and the others to relax and he feels more lively again.
"What are you standing there for? Where's the refreshments? Hurry up and serve them!"
Seeing that they were all seated and Defu was still standing there with a silly smile on his face, Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but ask.
Defu came back to his senses: "The refreshments have been prepared long ago. I will have someone bring them over right away."
Just as he finished speaking, a maid came in carrying a food box.
When he saw the maid, Defu's expression straightened up and he immediately trotted over and respectfully took the food box from the maid.
The maid smiled and handed the food box to Defu, bowed to Xiao Yeyang, and left without saying anything.
Daohua sat aside and watched curiously. She noticed that after the maid came in, Xiao Yeyang's face gloomy.
Just when Daohua was wondering who the maid was, she suddenly felt a fiery gaze staring at her. When she looked up, she found that it was Defu.
Defu's eyes kept scanning the food box in his hand, and he tried hard to wink at Daohua.
Daohua was stunned. What does that mean?
At this time, Xiao Yeyang's voice sounded again: "Why are you still standing there? Where are the snacks?" There was some irritability and impatience in his tone.
Seeing that Daohua didn't understand what he meant, Defu looked depressed. He looked at the food box in his hand and moved out of the house reluctantly.
"etc!"
Between the flashes of lightning, Daohua Fuling suddenly realized what Defu meant: "What delicious food is in the food box? Can I see it?"
Defu immediately turned around and looked at Xiao Yeyang expectantly. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he immediately trotted and put the lunch box on the table between Daohua and Xiao Yeyang's chairs.
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang with a tense face, then looked at Defu who was looking at her eagerly. After thinking for a while, she reached out to the food box and opened the lid.
“Wow, it smells so good!”
As soon as the food box was opened, the rich aroma of chicken soup wafted out.
Daohua held the lid. Seeing Xiao Yeyang remained silent and Defu only blinked at her, she had no choice but to ask tentatively, "Can I have a taste?"
Is this what it means to be blessed?
After he finished speaking, Defu couldn't wait to say, "I'll go get the bowl and spoon right away." After that, he ran away.
Daohua was stunned for a long time before she said, "Why didn't I realize before that Defu was so swift!"
Xiao Yeyang looked at the rice flowers, then at the food box on the table, moved his lips, but did not say anything about taking the food box away until Defu brought the bowl and spoon.
"I've been walking around for most of the day and I'm hungry. This black chicken soup came at the perfect time. It's so thoughtful."
Daohua took the bowl and spoon, served a bowl to everyone, and finally her own.
"Hey, why don't you drink?"
Seeing that Xiao Yeyang didn't move, Daohua picked up her bowl, tasted a spoonful, and immediately nodded repeatedly: "It tastes so good, you guys should try it. This black chicken melts in your mouth, it must have been stewed for several hours." After that, she took another quick sip.
Seeing that Xiao Yeyang didn't move, Yan Wenxiu and Li Xingnian didn't dare to move the spoon.
Yan Wenkai didn't care. When he saw Daohua drinking, he immediately picked up his own and started drinking. After taking a sip, he also said it was delicious.
"Drink it!"
Daohua pushed the bowl towards Xiao Yeyang and nodded in Yan Wenkai's direction with her chin: "My fourth brother is a big eater. If you don't hurry up, he will finish it for you soon."
As if to confirm Daohua's words, Yan Wenkai's voice sounded at this moment.
"Big sister, give me another bowl. This black chicken soup is delicious." As he said this, he walked over with the bowl in his hand.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at the little black chicken soup left in the food box, then looked at Yan Wenkai who came over to beg for food, and blurted out, "There's no share for you."
Yan Wenkai pointed at the lunch box and said, "There's obviously some left, but you're not going to drink it, so it would be a waste to keep it."
Xiao Yeyang immediately picked up the soup bowl and said, "Who said I don't want to drink it?" Then he started drinking it spoonful by spoonful.
Yan Wenkai was about to say something, but Defu immediately said with a smile, "Master Yan, the refreshments will be here soon."
"mean!"
Yan Wenkai muttered something and returned to his seat.
On the side, Daohua secretly looked at Xiao Yeyang who was drinking soup with his head down, with some confusion between his brows.
Both the maid who delivered the food box and Xiao Yeyang's reactions were weird.
Forget it, it’s better for her not to pry into it. Who knows if it will touch Xiao Yeyang’s nerves again.
Xiao Yeyang finished the soup in his bowl and saw Daohua sitting still: "Why don't you drink anymore?"
Daohua smiled and said, "I left this for you. You're a patient and need more nourishment." As she said that, she poured the remaining black chicken soup into his bowl without saying a word.
“Drink it now!”
Xiao Yeyang looked at the rice flowers, picked up the bowl and slowly drank.
At the same time, at the Merlin Villa on the top of the mountain.
The maid who had delivered the chicken soup earlier entered the main room with a happy expression on her face and said to the beautiful woman painting plum blossoms by the window, "Master, the young master is drinking the chicken soup you made!"
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman paused, the ink in her pen stagnated, and immediately left an ink dot on the rice paper.
The beautiful woman didn't mind this at all and asked anxiously, "Really?"
The maid nodded repeatedly: "I personally saw the young master finish two bowls of chicken soup before leaving."
"Quick, tell me what's going on?"
