As Xiao Wei grew further, its posture became more and more majestic, and even its roar was completely different from its previous childishness, gradually showing the majesty of the king of beasts.
Therefore, when Little Serena pretends to be aggrieved, it feels somewhat out of place. But it doesn't care and continues to do things its own way, seizing every opportunity to act cute.
Min Yueqing was both amused and exasperated. She helplessly pointed in a direction and said seriously, "Go quickly, you must be back within half an hour!"
With its keen senses, Xiao Wei naturally detected the presence of wild animals nearby. After receiving Min Yueqing's permission, it dashed off like an arrow.
Fortunately, Xiao Wei's fighting ability has greatly improved, and sure enough, he returned with his prey in less than half an hour.
Min Yueqing and Xiao Wei each took a prey down the mountain.
However, when they reached a short distance from the patrol station, Min Yueqing stopped and gestured to Xiao Wei with her eyes towards the side door of the patrol station, saying, "You go first."
Xiao Wei immediately grabbed his prey and ran back quickly, while Min Yueqing stayed behind to wait.
A short while later, Xiao Wei ran back, picked up another prey from the ground, and Min Yueqing also quietly sneaked back into the courtyard.
The two gatekeepers were excitedly discussing why the tiger had come back and gone out again when they saw Little Wei carrying another prey into the gate.
The two servants immediately shut their mouths, watching with awe as the old man with the tiger passed by.
The guys in the yard were all stunned to see that Xiao Wei had brought back two prey in such a short time, and that the two prey were not small either.
"Goodness gracious, do you think this tiger knows it's the young master's birthday today? Even it knows to send a gift!"
"It's hard to say. The tiger that our lady raises is really something else. Just think how smart it is. I've seen it acting cute towards our lady from afar several times!"
“What’s so hard to say? I think this tiger knows exactly what it’s doing. When has it ever brought back two prey at once? And it only eats the one on the left; the one on the right is definitely for our young master.”
The guys stood together whispering. They didn't dare speak loudly for fear of attracting Wei's attention, but that didn't dampen their enthusiasm for the discussion at all.
Just then, A-Zhu came out and, after seeing the situation in the courtyard, decisively went to the main room to report to Min Yueqing.
Since it wasn't the first time, Min Yueqing didn't even bother to feign surprise and calmly left the room.
In the yard, Xiao Wei was already feasting. Perhaps sensing that Min Yueqing was watching it, Xiao Wei looked up and glanced back at Min Yueqing as it wolfed down its food.
Seeing her "child" so eager, Min Yueqing felt rather helpless. She turned to the waiter beside her and said, "Move the other one to the kitchen."
The men received the instruction, but their legs were too weak to obey them, and they couldn't move at all, let alone move the roe deer.
You see, the roe deer was right next to that tiger, so none of the guys had the guts to go and take its prey.
Seeing that the waiters hadn't moved for a while, Min Yueqing took a closer look at the waiters present. When she noticed where their gazes were focused, Min Yueqing suddenly realized what was going on.
She first whistled to attract Wei's attention, then waved to him.
Without hesitation, Xiao Wei let go of her mouth and ran towards Min Yueqing.
Min Yueqing bent down and gently stroked Xiao Wei's back, then said to the workers, "Go and move it now."
As soon as Xiao Wei ran away, the guys were no longer afraid. Several of them quickly ran forward, picked up the roe deer from the ground, and ran towards the kitchen.
Min Yueqing patiently brushed away the small twigs and grass clippings from Xiao Wei's back, then gently patted Xiao Wei's back, "Go and continue eating."
Xiao Wei instinctively tried to nuzzle his head against Min Yueqing's legs, but Min Yueqing quickly dodged and raised her hand to stop him, saying, "No, look at your mouth. You can only come near me after you've washed it clean."
Xiao Wei let out an angry "howl," his bright, sharp eyes looking at Min Yueqing with a wronged expression.
Min Yueqing's attitude was naturally exceptionally firm.
Unable to persuade Min Yueqing otherwise, Xiao Wei had no choice but to return to his original spot to eat, turning back every few steps.
Pei Ji came out of the study at this moment and was somewhat surprised to see Min Yueqing standing outside. "Mother, what are you looking at?"
Min Yueqing gestured with her lips towards the front, and Pei Ji then realized that Min Yueqing was actually watching Xiao Wei eat.
"Wow, Mommy, did Wei catch this himself?"
Min Yueqing replied with a smile, "Of course."
Ah Zhu added, "Young Master, Xiao Wei caught two prey today! Besides this one, there's also a roe deer, which was just moved to the kitchen."
Pei Ji became even more excited. He took Min Yueqing's hand and leaned against her, praising, "Mother, Xiao Wei is getting better and better. Now he can catch two prey at once!"
Min Yueqing squeezed the little hand in her hand and smiled, "You're very good too. Your handwriting is getting more and more beautiful."
Pei Ji was praised, and her big, black agate-like eyes shone even brighter. She happily went around to Min Yueqing and hugged her.
Min Yueqing chuckled and supported the little one's back with one hand, asking, "Are you cold?"
Pei Ji shook his head. "It's not cold."
Min Yueqing still felt that the wind outside was a bit strong, so she led her little one back to the room.
When Xiao Wei looked up again, Min Yueqing was suddenly gone. It panicked and quickly sped up its eating.
In the afternoon, as usual, Min Yueqing made a beautiful cake by hand. Pei Ji, the dutiful little follower, noticed it immediately and, as before, worked with Min Yueqing to assemble and decorate the cake.
There are fewer fruits in winter, but fortunately there are still some wild kiwis growing in the mountains. Min Yueqing also has some berry jam stored in her space, which can be used as fillings and garnishes.
Pei Ji was not like Pei Han, who was busy with official duties. He remembered very clearly that today was his birthday, so he knew at a glance that this cake was specially made for him by Min Yueqing.
Pei Ji's face was beaming with a bright smile all afternoon. She followed Min Yueqing around without leaving her side, and she was so sweet that Min Yueqing couldn't help but want to take a bite.
Min Yueqing scooped up the grinning little boy beside her, gave him a big kiss on the cheek, and teased, "So happy?"
Pei Ji buried his face in Min Yueqing's neck and laughed heartily.
Min Yueqing couldn't help but laugh, and helplessly hugged her little one tightly.
One advantage of making cakes in winter is that you don't need to go to any special way to refrigerate them; just leaving them in the refrigerator normally will produce excellent results.
Dinner was exceptionally lavish, with seven or eight meat dishes alone. Apart from the stewed chicken, the other dishes were all braised in the style that Pei Ji preferred. The vegetarian dishes included hot and sour shredded potatoes and stir-fried cabbage.
