Upon hearing the Queen's request to eat first, Chen Luxing immediately covered his belly and said, "Father, let my aunt eat first. I'm already hungry."

He liked his aunt Lu Xiang very much, but he still felt that it was not enough, so he asked Chen Yuan next to him: "Little aunt, are you hungry?"

Chen Yuan wanted to say she wasn't hungry, but under Chen Luxing's eager gaze, she could only nod her head: "Yes, a little bit."

Hungry means not hungry, but she knew that if she said she was not hungry, she would definitely offend her nephew.

Lu Hebei did this on purpose, but when the queen and the young prince interrupted him, he borrowed the donkey from Poxia and pretended to be impatient with a smile on his face: "Eat when you're hungry. It's as if I won't feed you."

When he heard that he could eat, the young prince immediately grabbed his chopsticks. After waiting for the Queen Mother to pick up a piece of vegetables, he quickly picked up a big shrimp and put it into Lu Sheige's bowl: "Auntie, eat shrimp."

Lu Xiange likes to eat fish, shrimps and crabs. Before she left last spring, she and Chen Luxing were fishing in the imperial garden. At that time, they caught a shrimp. Her father said that the shrimps should be raised when they are small before catching them. Your aunt likes to eat shrimps the most.

Chen Luxing always remembered that his aunt liked to eat shrimp.

Shrimps are hard to come by in winter, as the weather is so cold that almost the water surface is frozen.

It’s okay to break the ice to catch fish, but if you break the ice to catch shrimps, I might overturn the river and not be able to catch a few.

This shrimp was sent by someone from the Prime Minister's Office, saying it was for Chen Luxing to try. I heard that it was raised in Zhuangzi. I was afraid of freezing, so I specially used charcoal to warm it by the pond where the shrimp was raised. There were only a dozen or so in a small basket.

, the queen had originally planned to have it for the New Year's Eve reunion dinner, but now it was all brought to the table.

Seeing Chen Luxing holding shrimps for himself, Lu Sheige took it with a smile and gave Chen Luxing a piece of mutton chop: "Thank you, Xing'er. This is your favorite mutton chop, Xing'er, isn't it?"

Looking at the mutton chops brought by his aunt in the bowl, Chen Luxing smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Yes, thank you, aunt."

The Queen Mother on the side looked hot and said deliberately: "How come no one gives me shrimps or lamb chops? Is it because I am old and no longer lovable?"

Lu Sheige smiled and glanced at the Empress Dowager without saying a word.

Chen Luxing was so young that he didn't know that the Queen Mother was joking, so he stood up and asked the waiter at the side to scoop a bowl of chicken soup for the Queen Mother.

"Grandma likes chicken soup the most and doesn't like mutton, you know." The little guy said with pride in his eyes.

The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Yes, I should be filial and know that my grandmother doesn't like to eat mutton."

She really doesn't like to eat mutton and dislikes the smell of mutton.

But her sister likes it, her three children like it, and even Xing'er also likes it.

The Queen Mother remembered that before she was married, she would get angry with her sister for eating mutton instead of mutton in winter.

She doesn't eat mutton, and she dislikes the smell of the pot in which the mutton is cooked. Even the yard smells of mutton.

My younger sister likes to eat mutton. On a rare snowy day, her elder brother brought mutton back, but she refused to let him cook it. The two sisters quarreled over whether to cook mutton or not.

Her father said to her, if you don't like it, just eat it, but you can't deny it to your sister. Just like your mother likes mutton soup, I don't like it, but I won't deny it to her.

My father doesn't like mutton, but my mother does.

For the love of his mother, his father accepted the snowy winter, and the family gathered together to eat a pot of warm mutton soup. My father did not eat mutton, but he could slowly accompany everyone to have a meal with the smell of mutton soup.

Later, she gradually learned to get used to it, and her sister rarely ate mutton anymore.

Chen Luxing didn't do anything himself, but ordered the small table to scoop out a bowl of chicken soup for everyone.

When he sat down, he saw two peeled shrimps side by side in his bowl.

Chen Luxing raised his head and smiled at Lu Xiangge who retracted his hand: "Thank you, auntie, auntie is the best."

"Eat yours." Lu Sheige smiled and rolled his eyes at him.

Seeing that Chen Luxing and Lu Shege were good friends, Chen Yuan also wanted to get close to Lu Shege.

But she has no father or mother in this palace, and her only brother is the emperor, who is not close to her.

The little girl picked up a shrimp and hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether to hand it to Sister Changle or eat it herself.

It's not that she didn't want to give the shrimp to Sister Changle, but she was afraid that her sister wouldn't like it. If she didn't eat it then, it would be too embarrassing.

Lu Xiangge happened to catch it out of the corner of his eye and asked quickly: "Yuanyuan, will you also pick up shrimps for me?"

Seeing Chen Yuan nodding, Lu Shege hurriedly handed the bowl over: "Thank you Yuanyuan."

Chen Yuan mustered up the courage to put the shrimp on the chopsticks into Lu Shege's bowl, her little face turned red.

Living in a palace without relatives, even though she is a princess, Chen Yuan's temperament is a bit timid and weak.

When Lu Sheige lowered his head to peel the shrimp, Chen Yuan glanced at the roast duck on Lu Sheige's left side and pursed her lips.

Her favorite thing to eat is this roast duck with fruit and wood. I heard from Xing'er that this roast duck was made by her aunt.

Because the process was cumbersome, Chen Yuan only benefited from Chen Luxing's work and had it twice.

The reason why her sister didn't pick up food for her was definitely not because she didn't like her, but because she was a junior in the industry.

Chen Yuan reluctantly moved her eyes away from the sliced ​​roast duck, picked up a piece of lily and ate it slowly in her mouth.

Mammy said that she was a princess, and a princess should behave like a princess. She should not act arbitrarily or lose the dignity of the royal family for the sake of food and drink.

But she doesn't like to eat lilies, she just wants to eat fruit charcoal roast duck.

If she could eat roast duck to her heart's content, it didn't matter if she had to be dignified or not. Anyway, the dignity of the royal family at that time was not hers alone.

The Queen Mother, Empress, brothers and sisters were all talking. Chen Luxing was chewing his mutton chops intently. Chen Yuan looked at everyone and absently picked up another piece of lily and put it into her mouth.

A roast duck leg appeared in front of Tengdi's eyes. As her eyes fell, the red and shiny duck leg just fell into her bowl.

Looking again, it turned out that her sister had clipped it for her, and her sister had clipped a duck leg for Xing'er.

Chen Yuan's little mouth moved, wanting to say thank you, but after her sister finished clamping the duck legs, she turned back to talk to the Queen Mother, without even looking at them.

I lowered my head and took a bite secretly. The aroma was fragrant, the texture was crispy, the skin was crispy and the meat was tender, making me salivate.

Chen Yuan couldn't hold it back, and took one bite after another. When she saw that a big duck leg was halfway down, she noticed the look in the eyes of the nanny standing in the distance.

Aunt Xu had been winking at her, but she didn't see it. Seeing her look over, Auntie shook her head gently and winked at her to put down the duck leg in her hand.

Chen Yuan looked at Nanny and slowly put down the duck leg. At this moment, she heard Sister Changle laugh lightly and said: "Next time our family goes to play outside the palace, I will take you to Jixiang Building for dinner. Go

Listening to music in the teahouse."

Then came the voice of the Queen Mother: "Then wait for the Flower Festival. By then the weather will be warmer and the emperor is no longer afraid of the cold. Our whole family will go."

"Yuanyuan and Xing'er haven't left the palace yet, and we still have Ming'er. When the weather gets warm during the Flower Festival, Ming'er can be taken out to play." This was the emperor's voice.

Before the duck leg in her hand was put back into the bowl, Chen Yuan picked it up and took another bite.

She didn't even look at the nanny who was gritting her teeth anxiously. She was Chen Yuan, she was a princess, she had a mother, brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces. She was a family with them. Why couldn't she eat a duck leg?
