Chapter 60 - 60: His Parents Don’t Like Him
Another dish that he had never heard of before!
Shen Tianci could not help but ask, “What is omelet rice?” He had eaten all the foods over Xijiang County but had never heard of this new term.
Xiaoxiao said very modestly, “Oh, it’s nothing special. It’s the fried rice mixed with diced meat and vegetables, then covered with the golden and soft egg and sprinkled with a layer of my special sauce. When someone eats, the eggs and sauce will fuse in their mouth. The crispy diced vegetables and soft egg skin will be wrapped around the rice. That taste…”
After Shen Tianci thought for a while, Xiaoxiao became humble again. “It can’t be compared to a restaurant. It’s just a home-cooked meal.”
Shen Tianci could no longer hold it in. Xiaoxiao knew when to stop, and the rest of the journey was very quiet. However, because of this silence, Shen Tianci could not help but think about the food she had just mentioned. Every one of them sounded so delicious!!
Even the servant who had come to move the things could not help but wipe the corners of his mouth. He felt that his impression of the farmers in the past might be very different!
When she reached home, the courtyard door was closed. It was obvious that her parents had listened to her. Whether it was for keeping the Ruyi Clothing Shop’s designs a secret or because they did not want Second Aunt Ning to barge in, it was fine as long as the effect was good.
After returning home, they only told their parents that the person who came was an ordinary guest. Coincidentally, they did not bring the things they wanted to buy, so the guests followed them back to get them.
Ning Fengnian could also go out normally now. He was not at home when he went to look after the seedlings. Madam Song was not worried that something was wrong with those who came. Looking at their clothes, she knew they were from a rich family. What were they to get from a poor family?
Xiaoxiao asked her eldest brother and second brother to bring Tianci and his butler towards the pickled vegetable jar and take a little of each for them to try. Besides sour bamboo shoots, Xiaoxiao also made many other side dishes, such as pickled vegetables, snow vegetables, spicy cabbage, dried cabbage, radishes, pickled cabbage, and spicy cabbage. Every single one of them was an appetizer for porridge.
Shen Tianci, who had been living a luxurious life since he was young, was no longer interested in pickled vegetables. He asked the butler to buy some, and his gaze drifted towards the kitchen. What was it? What was so sweet?
Shen Tianci was not the only one who smelled it. Yun Yi, who was bored and had come out for a walk, happened to pass by the door. After returning to his room, he casually told Rong Yan.
Rong Yan remembered that Ning Xiaoxiao liked spicy food more. Could the sweet food be…
His expression was cold as he slowly put down the pen in his hand. “What did Ying Zi say?”
Rong Yan did have a secret guard, but his identity was a mystery. Even Rong Yan had never seen his face, but no matter when or where, as long as he gave the order, the secret guard would never fail.
Yun Yi immediately regained his seriousness. “The Luo continent government office is preparing the regulations for dam construction. In the past few days, they have conscripted soldiers to serve in the army. It seems that they don’t know Your Highness’ whereabouts. Logically speaking, they shouldn’t have attacked Your Highness…” However, the news from the Ying Zi was that the assassin came from Yan Zhizhou’s residence.
Rong Yan thought for a moment. “I remember that Yan Lu belongs to Crown Prince’s?” However, he was no threat to the Crown Prince. No, he was no threat to anyone. His father didn’t care about him, and his mother didn’t care about him. He was a powerless prince. Who would waste their effort to assassinate him?
After a pause, he asked, “Is there any news from the palace?”
Yun Yi hesitated for a moment. Seeing his master’s gaze gradually turned cold, he braced himself and said, “Everything is normal.”
Rong Yan tapped his fingers on the table and lowered his eyes to hide his expression. “Mother… did she ask me?”
Yun Yi wanted to stop breathing. After asking this question, Rong Yan seemed to find it funny, so he changed the topic. “Is the crown prince still in charge of Mother’s birthday banquet this year?”
Yun Yi felt that today was a dead end. He gritted his teeth. “Yes.”
His Majesty doted on the Noble Consort, and the Noble Consort favored the crown prince given birth to by the Empress. Those nosy people said that His Highness was not doted on by his parents…
But why? The Third Prince was the Noble Consort’s biological son. Why did the Empress spend His Highness’s birthday in Jingcheng City? It was obvious that she did not want to see him.
His Highness must be feeling terrible…
The food next door was even more fragrant. They could only blame themselves for the recent winds from the Ning family to them every day.
Rong Yan, who was in a low mood, felt he didn’t want to suffer today. He was looking forward to the things that Ning Xiaoxiao would send over.
“If she sends something, send her the wild rabbit we got yesterday..”
