After wearing the book, I spoiled the powerful minister

Chapter 217 Even more sad

Eunuch Xia seemed to have a smile in his eyes when he went out. He didn't expect the concubine Shizi to feed the child herself, just like his own deceased young master's wife. The reason why the little princess can grow up healthy is because of this.

Eunuch Xia's impression of Chen Xiuyan was established early on, and he didn't care about the difference in status, because now only women who have no money to hire a nanny will breastfeed them in person, and the wives of rich families don't breastfeed themselves.

After Chen Xiuyan fed the baby, she burped the baby and put the baby in the rocking car. She followed the habit of teaching the baby to be painful but not without principles. The baby was held for a long time, especially when sleeping , that child can't let go, it's too annoying.

He always sleeps in the rocking car after feeding, hiccups, and let him pass the time in the rocking car before he sleeps, as long as someone is watching, he is still young and won’t move around. When you are older and want to learn to turn over, the rocking car is not suitable.

After Chen Xiuyan tidied herself up, she went to the small kitchen with Madam Miao, and called Xia He. After asking about the Changshou princess's dietary preferences, she began to prepare pastries and sweet soup. When the Changshou princess wakes up, she can eat something Pad belly.

Xia He participated in the whole process, even if she doesn't know how to cook, she can still do it, and she can't ignore the things that get into the mouth of Princess Changshou.

Princess Changshou fell asleep for two hours before waking up. Eunuch Xia personally took care of the little master to wash and change her clothes. Xia Miao combed her hair. After coming out of the east wing, Chen Xiuyan took her to the main room of the main house. The pastries and sweet soup had already been served. It's out of the pan, just hot enough to eat.

Today’s Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings were prepared early, with various flavors, bacon egg yolk, red bean paste, candied dates, and soda ash rice dumplings. They are very delicate and small. Men can eat one at a time, and ladies and children can eat two or three mouthfuls.

In addition to zongzi, there are moi cakes, pure moi cakes, and sesame fillings.

But these are glutinous rice, which is not easy to digest, and you can’t eat too much, so Madam Miao made extra red bean cakes, jujube cakes, and lotus flower cakes.

The sweet soup is stewed bird's nest with lotus seeds and milk tea.

Milk tea was developed by Chen Xiuyan. Goat milk is mixed with black tea and sugar and boiled until boiling. The tea leaves are filtered out with gauze, leaving a reddish-brown drink with a smooth milky aroma.

Princess Changshou drank a gu of lotus seed bird's nest, ate a rice dumpling, half of the two flavors, then ate three pieces of pastry, drank a small cup of milk tea at the end, and rubbed her belly in satisfaction.

"This is delicious." Princess Changshou pointed at the milk tea and said, "I don't like drinking goat's milk alone, but this is delicious."

"It's best to drink it alone." Chen Xiuyan immediately interjected, "Children should drink less tea, as long as the smell of goat's milk disappears, if you don't like the mild taste, add some sugar to it, it will be very good for children's health. In the future, I will grow taller and have a strong body.”

"Today is just for you to taste a new taste, and we will drink it every ten days at most in the future." Chen Xiuyan said.

Princess Changshou nodded obediently, "Okay, but sister Xiuyan's cook is very skilled, maybe I like pure goat milk, after all, this red bean cake is better than the cook at home."

"My little master doesn't know. This Mammy Miao came from the palace. She has excellent cooking skills. To be honest, the palace will release her. This old slave is surprised." When Eunuch Xia saw Mammy Miao Really surprised.

There are too many servants in the palace, how could he remember to come here, although he knew that Taifu Tao wanted four people from the Holy Majesty when he was in the capital, but as long as it is not theirs or anyone else, he is a simple palace person. is not concerned.

He was a little surprised when he saw Madam Mu today, and when he met Madam Miao, they were all talents with their own abilities. It seemed that Taifu Tao held a very high position in the heart of the Holy One.

Eunuch Xia felt a little uncomfortable thinking about it like this, his prince and Tao Taifu were the same to a certain extent.

King Taiping was able to obtain the Sacred Heart and was treated favorably by the Queen Mother because there were no male descendants in the Prince Taiping Palace. He is not the fear of these people. He has no descendants, only a little granddaughter. Will such a person have any idea about that position? A seat that cannot be handed down?

Taifu Tao was even more sad than King Taiping. He had never been married, had no children, and really had no descendants.

Eunuch Xia sighed inwardly, but Taifu Tao had apprentices, and when Taifu Tao chose Luo Wenqian and Chu Wenqian as his apprentices, he never thought that he would be his niece's own son, otherwise he would not have accepted this apprentice to avoid suspicion.

From Chu Wenqian's incident to the capital, the Holy Majesty immediately summoned Tao Taifu.

"Do you have frequent contact with Tao Taifu?" Eunuch Xia still reminded him aloud.

Chen Xiuyan was taken aback by the question, and then said truthfully, "We are in contact, but less than before. It is the exchange of rituals, and the congratulatory gifts from my uncle after I made a casual noise."

Chen Xiuyan's heart froze. Because of the distance, she had a new focus. To be honest, she paid less attention to Tao Lao, and usually her husband was in touch.

Hearing Eunuch Xia mention it now, it seems that frequent contact is not a good thing.

"Our family has been in the capital all the time, so we know more about the situation. After the eldest son recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan, the Holy Majesty summoned Tao Taifu. Tao Taifu had many nephews and nephews, but none of them were his apprentices." As soon as Eunuch Xia said this, Chen Xiuyan immediately understood.

Although it is said that a virtuous person does not avoid relatives, if the person who raises a virtuous person has a high status and there is no replacement candidate, then he is worthy of being feared. If the existence respected by literati all over the country can bring out a capable apprentice, these literati It is very likely that it will be attributed to the heir. This person can be anyone, but cannot be a relative of Tao Taifu.

Chen Xiuyan decided to ask Wen Qian at night, he should have a plan.

Eunuch Xia saw Chen Xiuyan's expression, she was smart and knew everything.

"Changshou, I will stroll around the palace today, and take you to the street tomorrow." Chen Xiuyan changed the topic back to a relaxed one.

"Yeah."

After the refreshment, the group started to wander around the backyard of the palace. Princess Changshou came here for the first time, looking here and there, so happy.

In the evening, because there were more Princess Changshou, Prince Jin’s mansion was quite lively. King Jin and Princess Jin had no daughters and no granddaughters. Seeing that Princess Changshou liked it so much, Mammy Miao made the gnocchi that Princess Changshou liked for dinner. Roasted fresh beef and stewed mushrooms. Princess Changshou ate a full bowl and a half with his rice bowl.

Taking advantage of the cold weather, Chen Xiuyan proposed to eat hotpot tomorrow night. King Jin, Princess Jin and Chu Yu immediately became interested. They didn't like hotpot before, but since Chu Wenqian, Chen Xiuyan and their group moved in, they ate it once. .
