Royal Beloved Black Wife

   Chapter 123 The mighty, unlucky Father Chu (3)

  Shen shi sniffed, suppressed the choked sob in his throat, and said, "Seeing that you are about to leave the cabinet, I can't bear it."

  Chu Qianqian reassured: "It's not far, they're all in the capital."

   But you will no longer be the daughter of the Chu family, but a royal daughter-in-law.

  The more she thought about it, the more she was reluctant: "Tonight, sleep with me, our mother and daughter haven't talked to each other for a long time."

  Chu Qianqian slightly reddened her ears: "This... um... good."

  Danju brought hot water, washed Chu Qianqian's hands, washed her hands by her ears, and then returned to the table to make a Lantern Festival with everyone.

  It is easier to make yuanxiao than dumplings. The glutinous rice flour ball is already kneaded by the maid and cut into doses.

Chu Mo and Chu Yan each grabbed a small ball, learned Chu Qianqian's technique, and pinched it in a proper manner, first rounded and flattened it, and then pinched it into a small hollow cylinder, and then scooped a spoonful of stuffing and put it on it. Enter it, and finally seal the top, and you're almost done.

  Shen Shi prepared sesame stuffing, peanut stuffing and five kernel stuffing according to the children's tastes.

   Surprisingly, Chu Qianqian doesn't like eating Wuren anymore.

  Chu Qianqian said to Danju: "Cut the marinated beef into cubes, stir-fry it with celery and tofu, remember to add spicy, the more spicy the better."

  Shen Shi Bao Yuanxiao's movements paused: "Salty? Can the dumplings be salty?"

   Actually, before making this Lantern Festival, Chu Qianqian didn't think the dumplings could be salty, but as soon as she squeezed them out, this practice flashed through her mind. Perhaps, this was another memory of her previous life.

   "Well, yes, the dishes are salty, and Lantern Festival is also fine." She said with a smile.

  Shen shi was not surprised for a long time, the fact that her daughter surprised her too much, it's not surprising that it was just a dumpling.

  Danju was soon fried with beef stuffing. Chu Qianqian made two big Lantern Festivals. Unlike the glutinous rice balls, they were not boiled in water, but steamed on a steamer.

   Soon, the dumplings are ready, and the Lantern Festival is ready.

  Chu Mo and Chu Yan wore their pink cat faces, and went to grab them with their teeth and claws.

   "Sesame dumplings are mine!"

   "Peanut dumplings are mine!"

   "Don't grab it, it's hot!" Shen slapped their little devil's claws, which were also full of flour, "Go and wash it! What's it going to look like?"

  Chu Mo and Chu Yan pouted unwillingly, and were led by Chu Qianqian to the ear room to wash their hands.

   Mr. Shen picked up an empty bowl and divided half of the danju. In fact, there are many dumplings, not to mention one bowl, three bowls are enough. But what they don't want, and what they get out of their own bowl, have different meanings after all.

  Danju was flattered and held: "Madam."

Shen shi smiled gently: "You are good, I remember it all. In the future, when the eldest young lady marries into the palace, you will be the first among the people who will go with you. I don't want to ask what happened to Bizhu. , I just hope that no matter what happens in the future, you can take good care of the eldest lady in my place."

  Some things, you may have believed other people’s words at first, but after thinking about it, you can always detect clues. But if her daughter didn't tell her, there must be a reason for her not to tell her, so she stopped asking, but her daughter's withdrawn temperament is unwilling to speak out when she is wronged. What is it like to suffer in the palace?

  Danju understood Shen's concerns and nodded solemnly: "Madam, please rest assured, I will definitely protect the eldest miss!"

  No one can tell what will happen in the future. Ke Ren always likes to seek a little peace of mind from other people's oaths.

  Shen shi held Danju's hand movingly: "You are a good boy!"

   Not long after, Chu Qianqian came out with Chu Mo and Chu Yan.

  The two little buns couldn't wait to scoop up the glutinous rice **** in the bowl, blow them, and bite down along the soft and waxy skin. The sweet and delicious stuffing mixed with the hot aroma overflowed.

   "Hu! Hu! So hot! So sweet!"

   "It's delicious!"

  The little buns ate one for themselves, then fed another one to Chu Qianqian, then another to Shen Shi, and to others, they found that they had not enough food in their bowls, so they went to scoop Shen Shi and Chu Qianqian's.

   "Oh, my sister's dumplings are too spicy! It's killing me! It's so spicy! It's so spicy!"

  Chu Mo and Chu Yan were so hot that tears came out.

   Seeing the two little buns sticking out their tongues, Shen shi, Chu Qianqian, and Dan Ju couldn't help laughing.

   In the past six years, the first Lantern Festival without Bizhu was still five people, five bowls, and the cheers continued.

   Different from the liveliness of the palace and the warmth of Yingxintang, there is a faint melancholy in the Prince's Mansion.

  Zhuge Yan hugged Yao Xi and sat on the rattan chair in the backyard, Yao Xi leaned his back against his chest, his head on his shoulder, his back, facing the direction of the moonlight.

   A gust of cold wind blew, mixed with a faint smell of sulfur, which was the smell left in the air after the fireworks dissipated.

Zhuge Yan touched her soft hand and felt it was cold. He took a thin blanket and put it on her. After that, he asked softly, "Would you like to have a Lantern Festival? The beef stuffed, the big one, and the bigger one. Put celery and tofu."

   took a small piece of Yuanxiao skin with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, "It shouldn't be as delicious as what you made."

   Yao Xi did not move.

   He took out the Lantern Festival wallet again, and dipped a drop of plum wine with chopsticks to feed her, "My grandfather gave it, do you like it?"

   Yao Xi still didn't respond.

   Zhuge Yan was not discouraged, he dipped another drop and fed her: "I guess you like it very much."

After feeding for a while, the maid walked over with small steps and saw his lord hugging Yao Xi like a baby. His heart was sour, he even forgot what he was going to say, and only said, "My lord, Miss Yao. There are palace servants here, so you don't have to worry about it!"

  Zhuge Yan pulled the corner of his lips, and said paradoxically, "Sande, when I was in Xuzhou, I really wanted to worry about someone, but there was no one to worry about."

  The inner servant understood that the prince is too lonely, so lonely that he no longer expects anyone to care about him, and only wants to focus on the people who deserve his attention. But who should he care about? Is it the grandmother who is related by blood but abandons him like a shoe, or the uncle who has his father's favor but doesn't care about him?
