Upon hearing this, Imperial Censor Luo glanced at him and said, "Why don't we go and take a look?"
Prefect Zhong nodded and stood up, then looked at Prince Yi, who was inhaling the aroma of tea with a look of pure bliss.
"You may go, I am tired from riding in the carriage and do not wish to move," Prince Yi immediately refused.
He naturally saw his daughter digging for wild vegetables. So what if she did it? It was her doing. He would cook them and serve them to her later. Even if they tasted terrible, he, as her father, would not even flinch.
When Prefect Zhong and Imperial Censor Luo approached the children who were digging for wild vegetables, they discovered that in just a short time, half a bamboo basket was already filled with vibrant green wild vegetables.
"Father, this is called Malantou. It is a medicine. It tastes pungent and cool, and is slightly cold in nature. It has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. It can treat sore throat."
"Malantou is also an edible wild vegetable. It can be eaten raw in salads, stir-fried, made into porridge, or dried and cooked with pork belly. It's delicious!" Tianji said eagerly as he saw his father approaching.
"My son knows so much!" Prefect Zhong praised approvingly.
"Yes, it was all taught to us by Mother," Tianji said happily, pleased with her father's praise.
After hearing his son's words, Prefect Zhong glanced at Imperial Censor Luo with a complicated expression, and saw the same helpless awkwardness on the other's face.
Although he already knew why his child called that young lady Hong "mother," he, as the father, still felt really awkward hearing his son call another woman "mother" in front of him.
This awkwardness wasn't because I knew the woman was unmarried.
Well, if someone who didn't know the situation were there and overheard this, they would definitely misunderstand and think that the "mother" the child just called out to was his wife!
However, no matter how awkward it sounded, Prefect Zhong and Censor Luo dared not say anything.
After reuniting with the children, I brought up this matter and discussed with them whether we should call her godmother.
The child immediately objected strongly, saying that adding the word "dry" sounded bad and made it less intimate.
Prince Yi suggested, "The word 'godmother' doesn't sound good. Why not call her 'adoptive mother' instead?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Yao got angry with the prince, which frightened Prince Yi into giving her a long explanation and coaxing.
So even though it sounds awkward, we can only endure it, since they can't come up with a good solution.
“This wild vegetable looks so green, it must taste delicious,” Imperial Censor Luo quickly tried to start a conversation.
Prefect Zhong nodded in agreement, saying that the wild vegetables were cooked well and were very delicious.
For the first time in their lives, a prefect of the fifth rank and an imperial censor of the second rank racked their brains over a wild vegetable, just to get closer to their child.
Just then, Yao Guang suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted, "Mother, quick, wild rabbit!"
Upon hearing Yao Guang's shout, Prince Yi, Imperial Censor Luo, and Prefect Zhong, along with their entourage, all thought to themselves, "Silly girl, do you want your mother to see the wild rabbit sooner?"
Wild rabbits aren't anything rare, why make such a fuss?
Anyway, you wouldn't want your mother to catch wild rabbits, would you...?
