Chapter 720: The Gentleman Cooks Far Away

Princess Celestia stirred a few times in the crystal bowl with a small silver spoon and scooped up a small piece of honeydew melon.

She pursed her lips and nodded.

I always felt that Su Youyi's expression was a little strange when she looked at this Bingjian, not like pure curiosity, but more like ......

It's like I'm thinking about someone else through this ice jian.

Celestia shook her head slightly.

It's impossible, my mother is at ease every day after the summer vacation in the Imperial Garden, and she doesn't even pay attention to political affairs, what can she think of?

Bai Yan, who was sitting under her, saw her like this, put down the bowl and said softly, "Is the princess uncomfortable?" ”

Princess Celestia was stunned, knowing that he had misunderstood.

Seeing that everyone was looking at them, she smiled and said to Su Youyi: "I'm a little tired from going hunting in the woods just now, so it's not in the way." ”

"That's good, be careful not to get the heat. Spring flowers, go and bring a bowl of honeysuckle tea to the princess. ”

That's the thing that seriously relieves the heat, but several little princes don't like to drink it, so Su Youyi didn't take it out at first.

Fortunately, the boys' bodies are solid, and it won't get in the way if they eat the ice bowl, and the eldest princess should be more careful if she is a woman.

Princess Celestia nodded obediently.

Everyone began to gossip, "Queen Mother, I just hunted a rabbit, can I roast the rabbit over the bonfire tonight?" ”

"And my fawn!"

Su Youyi was stunned when she heard this.

"Did you really hunt something?"

She asked Dofu to let some small animals play with them, not expecting them to actually hunt them.

Unexpectedly, they not only hunted, but also sounded like they had gained a lot, Su Youyi couldn't cry or laugh, "On a hot day, what kind of bonfire?" Also, just eat rabbits, you can't eat venison, and you are careful to get angry. ”

It was Xiao Wu who hunted the fawn, and Xiao Si hurriedly said to Su Youyi: "Don't listen to the fifth brother's nonsense, the little deer was bruised by the fifth brother's arrow on the leg, and she is still alive, and she has already been bandaged by people." When its wound is healed, it should be put back in the forest, so how can the little deer eat it? ”

Before Su Youyi could speak, Xiao Wu was unconvinced and said, "Why can't you eat it?" When we went to the eldest brother before, didn't we see a deer lamb in the imperial meal? It is made from deer that is not yet the moon, and it is said that the meat is tender so that it is tender. ”

Xiao Wu's words, as soon as he heard this, he moved directly from the palace people in the imperial dining room.

He may not really want to eat venison, but he is just raising a bar with Xiaosi.

Xiao Si was stunned and looked at Su Youyi as if asking for help.

Su Youyi was amused and helpless, "Have you ever heard of what is a gentleman's cooking?" ”

She said casually: "I said: "A gentleman is also a bird, and when he sees his life, he can't bear to see his death; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who cooks far away. This is Mencius's exhortation to King Qi Xuan, saying that when he saw that the ox was about to be pulled to be sacrificed and shivered, he had mercy and replaced it with a sheep, which was not a stupid approach, but precisely the benevolence of a gentleman. ”

"We have all kinds of livestock and poultry in our daily diet. But seeing it with your own eyes is still different from making it into a dish. So what Xiao Si said was the virtue of a gentleman, and what Xiao Wu said was not wrong. ”

After some explanation, everyone was thoughtful.

Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed, "Queen Mother, I actually don't want to eat that fawn, otherwise I wouldn't have asked someone to bandage its wounds." ”

"I know."

Knowing his son Mo Ruomu, Su Youyi winked at him.

Bai Yan on the side looked at the situation of the Queen Mother's mother and son, and his heart was very warm.

Who said that the heavenly family does not have flesh and blood of father and son, and sibling warmth?

Maybe not before, but as long as the Queen Mother is there, it must be indispensable.

Xiao Qi, who had been silently eating the ice bowl, suddenly raised his head, "Queen Mother, why do we get hot when we eat venison, and the eldest brother can eat it?" Isn't the eldest brother afraid of getting angry? ”

Bai Yan choked on the fruit in the ice bowl and suddenly coughed violently.

Su Youyi: "......"

Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi looked inexplicable.

Su Youyi was embarrassed.

How to explain this kind of problem to children......

She had no choice but to change the subject and look at Princess Celestia, "Did you just hunt something?" ”

Princess Celestia was ashamed, "No, I'm not even stable on horseback, and I'm not proficient in archery." But Bai Gongzi caught a white rabbit for me, and it was alive, I plan to keep it in the imperial garden, and bring it back to the palace in the future, does the queen mother want to take a look? ”

This is quite considerate.

Su Youyi smiled: "Okay, you can bring it to me next time it's empty." You take care of it, and when you get married in the future, you can take it to the Jiangcheng Hou Mansion. ”

Princess Celestia grew more and more ashamed.

Why did the queen mother say the same thing as Bai Yan, she was really ashamed......

……

The next day, Concubine Yan came to Su Youyi to talk about the second prince's departure from the palace and opening the mansion.

"It's been more than two years since the mansion was given, and everything that should be repaired has been repaired, and everything that should be prepared has been prepared."

Concubine Yan was overjoyed, "So I specially came to ask the Queen Mother an accurate word, when should he leave the palace?" ”

Su Youyi listened to the meaning of her words and said curiously: "What you mean, it seems that you want him to leave the palace and open the mansion earlier, right?" ”

Concubine Yan was originally smiling, but she couldn't make up her mind when she heard Su Youyi's words.

Why was Su Youyi say this, as if it was not a good thing to go out of the palace and open a mansion?

She lowered her voice and hesitated: "The Queen Mother means ......"

Su Youyi shook her head slightly, and said in her heart Concubine Yan has been so crazy over the years that she doesn't even have this scheming, "You are confused." The emperor's wedding came first, and then in order, the second prince got married, and the eldest princess got married. If you let the second prince out of the palace early, and he is not there when the emperor gets married, what will the people outside think? ”

"Will you think that we love the second prince so we let him go out of the palace to open the palace earlier, or will we think that he is not favored, so he was kicked out of the palace early?"

When Concubine Yan heard this, her smile froze at the corner of her mouth.

She suddenly realized and slapped herself on the head, "It's me who is confused, I am so confused." I only thought in my heart that he would have to move out of the palace sooner or later, and it would be better to move earlier so that it would be convenient for the bride to enter the door, but I didn't expect ......"

It's because she's been living a good life over the years, and her brain is gradually getting worse.

Su Youyi heard that she understood, and then smiled: "I can't blame you for not being careful enough." A few princes, the emperor and I have always treated each other equally, and no one in the palace dares to despise which one is negligent, you are naturally used to not thinking about it. But people outside may not think about it, so we should give the second prince face, let's think about it. ”

"What does the Queen Mother mean ......"

Su Youyi said: "I mean, Yue Xing let him live in the palace until he gets married, and the bride just got married and let her live in the palace for a few days, which is lively and lively, and then it is not too late to move into the palace." When the time comes, move with the third prince, and then do the marriage of our eldest princess, what do you think? ”
