Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 468 Hot Pot
When they came back from walking in the snow to look for plum blossoms, it was already early noon. Although the masters had returned early, there was no panic in the kitchen. According to Zhao Wangshu's instructions, the rabbits were killed and sliced ​​in an orderly manner.

At noon, we were sent to Linglong Courtyard.

As usual, the couple took their son to have their meals on the kang in the warm room.

Bo Xia Gong is actually a rabbit meat hotpot. The soup base is a clear soup made from ham, bean curd sheets, dried bamboo shoots, etc., and then sliced ​​rabbit meat and vegetables are added to it.

The steaming hot pot makes the cold winter day seem warm.

Zhao Wangshu was feeding little Yunyu, and Yun Hao was making sauce for her. He didn't even need to ask her, as he could make the sauce that suits her taste.

After finishing his meal, Xiao Yunyu refused to sit on the kang and insisted on getting off the kang, "Look at the snowman."

His little snowman was placed on the railing of the porch.

The nanny put on his thick coat, thick cotton shoes, wrapped him in a cloak, put on gloves and a snow hat, making him like a little cotton ball, and then took him out.

Without their son to disturb them, the couple ate the rabbit meat. They tossed the slices of meat repeatedly in the soup. When they took them out, the color of the meat slices was indeed like clouds. Zhao Wangshu smiled and said, "The ancients still gave elegant names."

"The waves surge like snow on the clear river, and the wind blows the sunset glow." Yun Hao rinsed a piece of meat and put it in her bowl. "Rabbit meat replenishes the body and strengthens the qi. You should eat more."

Zhao Wangshu picked up the rabbit meat, dipped it in the sauce that Yun Hao had specially made for her, and put it in her mouth. It tasted delicious and left a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

Yun Hao was happy to see her enjoying her meal, so he also cooked some cabbage and put it in her bowl, "Don't just eat meat, you'll get sick of it."

"No, rabbit meat is tender and not fat-rich, so you won't feel greasy about it." Zhao Wangshu said this, but he still ate the cabbage.

The couple was eating when Bai Rong came in, "Sir, Steward Zhong is here."

"Let him in." Yun Hao picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea.

Zhong Sheng came in from outside, saluted, and said: "Sir, I just received news that Prince Zuo was assassinated outside the city."

Yun Hao frowned, "Prince Zuo was assassinated?"

"Yes, sir." Zhong Sheng said affirmatively.

"Dead or seriously injured?" Yun Hao asked.

"I don't know whether it is a serious injury or a minor one, but the princess has sent a letter and asked someone to go to the palace to invite the imperial physician to the prince's mansion." Zhong Sheng replied.

"Yun Hao, could it be that they were coming for you and hit the secondary car by mistake?" Zhao Wangshu interrupted.

She would think so, firstly, because when Prince Zuo went out, he did not have the Prince's support, and the carriage he rode in was the same carriage that ordinary officials rode in.

Furthermore, in the current situation, the only one left who had competed with Prince Zuo for the throne was the young Eleventh Prince, who had no power and whose mother's family also had no power.

Yun Hao's eyes flickered slightly, "Just check and you'll know."

As he said that, he got off the kang and put on his shoes, "Madam, I'm going out to do something."

"You go and get busy, I'm at home." Zhao Wangshu knew that Yun Hao was going to be busy again.

After Yun Hao left, Zhao Wangshu lost his appetite and told the maid, "Put it away."

That night, Zhao Wangshu took his son to bed without waiting for Yun Hao to come back. The assassination of Prince Zuo was indeed a very troublesome matter.

The next day, Yao Shanzhi, dressed as a man and looking heroic, came with a horsewhip in hand.

"Don't tell me you came here on horseback in such a snowy day." Zhao Wangshu frowned as he looked at her.

Yao Shanzhi avoided her gaze and asked, "How do you think I look like?"

“To be honest, it’s pretty nice, but…”

"Don't say but." Yao Shanzhi interrupted her and turned around happily, "As long as it looks good, that's enough."

"You said, if I tell the princess about this, will someone be locked up and not allowed to go out?" Zhao Wangshu knew that since Yao Kuan's accident, Princess Pingyang had been busy sorting out the affairs in the mansion and probably didn't care about this girl, so she made a scene. "No, Yue'er, good Yue'er." Yao Shanzhi rushed over and pressed Zhao Wangshu on the kang.

The two of them laughed and joked, and Zhao Wangshu's hair bun became loose.

Zhao Wangshu called the maid in and helped her to re-dress.

After she had finished packing, the two of them sat on the kang and talked.

"I also made you a set of riding clothes with bright red and silver thread embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns." Yao Shanzhi took the hand warmer and held it.

"There's no need to do it for me. My riding skills are average and I don't dare ride in the snow." Zhao Wangshu knew his own limitations.

"Riding clothes don't necessarily have to be worn when riding," said Yao Shanzhi.

Zhao Wangshu smiled, "Thank you very much."

"Why are you being so polite?" Yao Shanzhi rolled her eyes at her. "You've heard about the assassination of Prince Zuo, right?"

"I heard about it. Yesterday we went out to walk in the snow and look for plum blossoms. We met Prince Zuo and his wife outside the plum forest. After we greeted them, we came back. We learned the news when we were having dinner at home." Zhao Wangshu told the truth.

"You are quite elegant." Yao Shanzhi laughed jokingly.

"Prince Zuo was assassinated. Do you have any exclusive information?" Zhao Wangshu ignored her joke and asked about the business.

Yao Shanzhi came closer to her and said, "It is said that they are the remnants of Prince Rong."

"The person who ruined Prince Rong's plan was not Prince Zuo. The assassination of Prince Zuo was a mistake." Zhao Wangshu was frightened. If the assassin had hit the target, she would have had her son with her at that time.

Amitabha, she would go to the Buddha to burn incense for Prince Zuo and thank him for warding off disaster for their family of three.

Yao Shanzhi also thought of it, "Fortunately, I hit the secondary car by mistake."

Although she has to call Prince Zuo her cousin, he is still more important as her godson and good friend.

"Are Prince Zuo and his wife seriously injured?" Zhao Wangshu asked.

Yao Shanzhi shook his head. "I don't know the exact extent of his injuries. But since he can return home and consult a royal doctor, I think his life should not be in danger."

"The remnants of Prince Rong are so bold that they dare to commit crimes under the feet of the emperor." Zhao Wangshu said with emotion.

Yao Shanzhi nodded in agreement, "If this matter is thoroughly investigated, I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm."

"Yes." Zhao Wangshu sighed, "However, this is also a problem that must be faced. Although Prince Rong has been executed, his remnants are still there. As long as they are not eliminated, the court will not have peace."

The two of them talked for a few more words, and then little Yunyu came in, holding the little snowman, to present the treasure to his godmother.

"What is this?" Yao Shanzhi asked with a smile.

"The little snowman was made by mother, for Yu'er." Xiao Yunyu replied.

"Your mother made it. It's so well done. It's so cute." Yao Shanzhi bent down and carried little Yunyu onto the kang.

"The little snowman is afraid of fire, so it has to be put outside." Little Yunyu nodded as he spoke, looking very naive.

"Yuer is so smart and knows a lot." Yao Shanzhi praised.

"Mom, mom is talking, Yu'er is listening, tell a story, okay." Little Yunyu tried hard to express his meaning clearly.

Yao Shanzhi touched his face and said, "Yu'er is so good. You remember everything your mother taught you."

"Yu'er is good and smart." Little Yunyu accepted all the praise from Yao Shanzhi.

Zhao Wangshu sat aside, looking at the two of them with a smile.
