Chapter 422 Cleaning up Sakura's mother-daughter encounter (1)
When everyone went to the farmer's house for dinner, the princess had already peeled off a whole dustpan and lotus pod. The princess's eyes were out of focus, and she seemed to be in a trance. Everyone knew that they probably missed Xuan Xiaoying again. Even though she has been nurturing Sakura all these years and comforting her lovesickness, whenever she calms down, the longing in her heart will still overwhelm her like a raging wave.
Everyone sat quietly on the chairs, looking at each other, no one dared to speak first.
It was Sakura who opened her mouth: "Mother Concubine, what are you peeling off?"
The concubine came back to her senses, glanced at everyone, hugged Xiaoying to her lap and said, "Lianpod, brother Zhao's favorite food, you should try it too." Saying this, she fed Xiaoying a lotus seed, "Is it sweet? "
Sakura smiled and nodded: "Sweet!"
The concubine smiled gratifiedly, and when she looked at the crowd again, her complexion softened a lot: "Try it too, it's just picked, it's fresh."
Everyone stretched out their hands one after another, grabbed a handful of the curtain, whether they liked it or not, they all started eating with great interest anyway.
Xuan Zhao really likes to eat, hula-la swept a big plate, Sun Yao was afraid that he would have diarrhea after eating too much, so she pushed the food behind to Xuan Yin and Ning Yue.
Xuan Yin and Ning Yue were not very interested, and chewed to save face.
Princess asked again: "Are you still used to where you live? Is there anything uncomfortable that needs to be changed?"
Sun Yao said softly: "Our place is very nice, very quiet, how about the courtyard of the fourth brother and fourth sibling?"
Ning Yue smiled slightly and said, "It's the same at our place. The lake view is beautiful. During the daytime, it's a little hotter, but when the lake breeze blows, the heat is gone."
The princess nodded in satisfaction, and ordered the hostess: "Let's start serving the dishes."
"Yes!" The hostess bowed politely. She was originally a native farmer like the elder sister-in-law, but she entertained the princess more often, and gradually learned some rules from those decent maids. . The hostess hurriedly entered the back hall and presented the dishes prepared by the man one by one, including venison, chicken, squab, fish soup, fried water chestnut...all of which are rare game in the capital.
The aroma is compelling and it is delicious.
The concubine raised her chopsticks and picked up a piece of the tenderest pigeon meat for Sakura, and then said to everyone: "The game in their family is very good. I eat it every year, and I never get tired of it."
Sakura finished off the piece of pigeon meat in one gulp, and looked at the princess again: "Mother, I want more."
The princess fed her another chopstick.
Bi Qing stepped forward: "Slaves, come."
Sakura hugged the concubine's neck: "I want to feed you, concubine mother!"
The concubine smiled dotingly, and said to Biqing: "You go down and eat too, you don't have to guard, it's all eaten by your own family, why are there so many rules?"
"Yes." Biqing withdrew.
The game in their house is really delicious. At first, Ning Yue just randomly picked up a few chopsticks, but after tasting the umami, her eyes lit up. Let’s take rabbit meat as an example. Ordinary people cook this, so it will have a strong smell. Its rabbit meat is grilled on an open fire, so that the oil comes out. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The seasoning is so delicious that people can't wait to swallow their tongues.
Seeing that she loves to eat, Xuanyin is not polite, he unscrews the fattest rabbit leg with a swish, and puts it in Ning Yue's bowl under Xuan Zhao's almost crazy eyes. His other hand was not idle either. He put it under the table and gently held Ning Yue's hand under the cover of his wide sleeve.
Throughout the meal, he didn't eat anything, and he was serving Ning Yue food.
Sakura was drinking the soup, but her gloomy eyes fell on the hands they held under the table.
