Everyone was listening with relish, and a maid came over to report: "Old lady, princess, princess, Master Fu is ready." ”

The old lady said impatiently: "Then let's hurry up and taste it, girl, you tell a good story, and we will tell it another day." ”

The masters moved into the dining room again, and saw that the food on the table had indeed changed.

Eggplant and green peppers are stirred into a plate, and pigeon eggs are dipped in sweet sauce...... The strangest thing is that the steamed bun is split in half from the middle, and there are diced chicken, braised pork, and mustard in it......

"Isn't that delicious?" The old lady picked up a steamed bun with the stuffing and took a big bite.

"It's weird, it's really better than steamed buns!" The old lady took one bite after another, and she finished eating a steamed bun in a short time.

If in normal times, when did the old lady eat a steamed bun at any meal?

After eating one, the old lady was still unsatisfied, and wanted to eat the second one, but she could find that there were no stuffed steamed buns on the table.

The children and grandchildren each have a stuffed steamed bun in their hands, and they are eating happily.

The old lady swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stared at the stuffed steamed bun in her son's hand next to her.

Prince: Mother, look at this, do I eat or don't eat?

When the prince arrived, he had the heart to give the steamed buns to the old lady, but it was always not good to give the steamed buns he had eaten to his mother, so he looked up and found Fu Ning: "Master Fu's steamed buns are delicious, can you make a few more?" ”

Fu Ning arched his hand and said: "Lord, you shouldn't eat too much for dinner, it is easy to cause food accumulation, one person is fine, you can drink some soup." I've also made that mushroom soup. ”

When the prince heard this, he hurriedly filled the old lady with a bowl of soup: "Mother concubine, taste the taste of this soup." ”

The old lady took the bowl, took a spoon and scooped it into her mouth, and the taste was indeed more fragrant than before.

The old lady quickly drank one bowl after another, and then filled herself a bowl and drank it again.

The third bowl was just about to be served, and I found that the soup bowl was dry, and the children and grandchildren were drinking a bowl of soup in their hands.

The prince turned the soup bowl in his hand in embarrassment, well, should I continue to drink it, or should I not continue to drink it?

I should have left a bowl for my mother, but I've already drunk half a bowl, so I can't let my mother drink what I've drunk.

The prince endured remorse, continued to drink the remaining half bowl of soup, and when he put down the bowl, he found that all the cups and plates on the table were clean, and even the last cucumber shredded was pinched and stuffed into her mouth by the youngest daughter with her little hand.

Although the Xiangwang Mansion has always been frugal, requiring the master and servants not to have leftovers, and if they can't eat, they have to cook less, but it has never happened to eat so cleanly like today.

Not even a drop of vegetable soup was left.

I've never eaten at a rate like this.

The rice in the bowl of the youngest daughter and son was eaten every time under the coercion of the prince and the lure of the mother, but today, King Xiang wanted them to give him some leftovers.

The prince coughed, and arranged for the children to say first: "It's good to linger on these guests recruited today, treat them well." After dinner, talk to your grandmother, go back early to rest, and don't delay tomorrow's homework. ”

And the sons and daughters stood solemnly and respectfully said yes.

King Xiang saluted the old concubine and said, "The summer night is short, and the mother concubine should rest early." ”

The old lady nodded and said, "The mourning family knows that you are an idle prince, so you don't have to work too hard, rest early." ”

"Erchen understands, Erchen retires." After King Xiang saluted the old lady, he took his leave and left.

A group of concubines and children said in unison: "Congratulations to the prince (father)." ”

King Xiang left and continued to gather the guests to find a way to deal with the natural disasters under the rule of Xiangcheng.

The old concubine is the imperial concubine of the first emperor, after the death of the first emperor, the crown prince ascended the throne, and authorized the old concubine to move out of the palace, leave the capital, and go to Xiangcheng to reunite with her son and enjoy the joy of family.
