Poor family mother and son

Chapter 725

Zheng Xiaorou knocked on the door, but no one answered, knocked again, but there was no sound, so she could only shout outside the door: "Xiao Bao, get up quickly, someone is coming from the palace!"

"Well... Sister-in-law, come in!" Xiaobao's muffled and somewhat hoarse voice came.

Zheng Xiaorou opened the door and went in, and saw Xiaobao sitting on the bed, the whole quilt was wrapped around him indiscriminately, and the collar of his underwear was loose, revealing his ribbed chest and messy hair.

"Little Treasure, you are sober. Someone from the palace is sending a message. It is Mother Wang." Zheng Xiaorou came in and searched through the closet to find clothes for Xiao Treasure.

"Hmm... Who is Nanny Wang?" Xiaobao's voice was still confused, with one eye squinted and the other closed, like raving.

"Bao'er, my sister-in-law knows that you are tired and haven't woken up, but there is no way, you must wake up immediately," Zheng Xiaorou quickly turned out Xiaobao's clothes, and suggested: "There is cold tea on the table, you drink it. A cup, can wake up faster;
Wang Momo is by the queen's side, and she has sent a message to let you enter the palace for dinner, saying that she will welcome you. "

Zheng Xiaorou suddenly approached Xiaobao and sniffed his collar: "Oh, why don't you change your underwear too, it's quite smelly... Also, I'll let Bai Jiaxing go with you."

Little Treasure has been on the road for nearly two months, not to mention taking a bath, even washing his face is not more than one slap in the palm of his hand. When he arrived at the Blue House, he went to sleep without washing, which was quite unpleasant.

Xiao Bao didn't change his inner clothes, but only took the outer leather clothes that Zheng Xiaorou handed over and put them on: "It's good as it is, the original taste, mother won't dislike me, it's none of my business whether others dislike it or not."

Zheng Xiaorou knew that because Xiaobao was not happy about being called to the palace because of Chu Qing, and now she deliberately vented her "get up anger", she followed him and said, "That's right, it would be nice to change out the leather clothes. I don't want to give it!"

Having said that, he still quickly helped Xiaobao put it on his body.

That person came from the palace, the empress's personal nanny, even if she was angry, she couldn't offend her, Chu Qing was still in the palace.

But fortunately it was Mammy who sent the message, Zheng Xiaorou felt at ease: there will be no danger.

"Ask Si'er to come with me. It doesn't matter if you can let him in or not. Just keep Si'er running errands outside the palace. Sister-in-law, you have to stay in the store with my elder brother." Xiaobao said.

"It's best to just have a meal," Zheng Xiaorou said worriedly, "You guys will come back right away when it's over, do you hear me? I'm afraid I'll leave you both in the palace."

Xiaobao seemed to be fully awake, and he whispered, "Sister-in-law, it's very likely that we won't be able to come back tonight. Don't worry, we can come back tomorrow anyway."

Zheng Xiaorou looked at Xiaobao in surprise: "How do you say?"

Xiaobao: "Either keep me in the palace, or mother stays in the palace, there must be one of those people who can rest assured, but mother can make money, so they should keep me."

Zheng Xiaorou covered her mouth all of a sudden, and an uncertain question came from between her fingers: "You mean, you will be taken as a hostage?"

Xiao Bao nodded: "Very likely."

Zheng Xiaorou felt numb: "What should I do?" Then he took off Xiaobao's clothes: "We won't go, you lie down, I'll go down and tell Mammy that you're sick!"

If he just went to the palace for a meal, even if the emperor would show up, Zheng Xiaorou was not too worried, after all Chu Qing was a contender in the court.

Besides, it was the queen's personal nurse who came to invite her, not just a random eunuch, let alone a guard in the palace, and her tone was very polite, which made Zheng Xiaorou not so nervous.

But when Xiaobao said that he might be detained, Zheng Xiaorou was at a loss.

Xiaobao grabbed Zheng Xiaorou's wrist, not letting her take off her clothes: "Sister-in-law, tickle! Don't be afraid, you'd better lock me up, so my mother will be safe."

Then he sighed again: "Oh, I have never been mother's armor, but I have always been mother's weakness."The tone is full of self-blame.

As long as the mother is allowed to be free, she will enter the palace as soon as she enters the palace, and Xiao Bao puts on her clothes neatly and leaves.

"Little Gangan" and "Come on" hovered high in the sky, looking down at the carriage below, and their figures shuttled through the half-dark night.

As Xiaobao expected, Si'er couldn't follow into the palace, so he waited outside the palace.

Because she was accompanied by Wang Momo, the body search was not strict when entering the palace. Xiaobao's flying tiger claws were hidden between his legs, so he was not found, but the eight iron blocks tied to his calves were taken out.

The iron block that he didn't get rid of while sleeping, Xiaobao felt like he was going to fly when he removed it like this.

The so-called "rules are all set by people", this point is most obvious in the palace: don't say that there are different seats at seven years old, when the queen is there, Xiaobao will sit opposite the princess for dinner, who dares to say anything?
The queen was very considerate and asked someone to set up a big round table, with 24 dishes on the table, saying that it was a welcome for Xiaobao, which really showed "sincerity".

Little Treasure doesn't think much of it, he is as hard as a rock, dead-faced steamed buns that can be chewed, and delicious delicacies are still enjoyable to eat, he has eaten all kinds of dishes!
Not to mention anything else, food street, street food, how can 24 dishes be comparable?

Besides, since she was a child, Chu Qing has never let her children suffer much from food. She would rather not buy new clothes, but also buy meat!

But Princess Zhaohua's eyes lit up.

Her emperor Lao Tzu has always been frugal, and the expenses in the palace are not as luxurious as those in the courtiers' homes. The emperor has ten dishes for a meal, and raw tofu is also counted as one dish, and Zhaohua only has four to six dishes for each meal.

The queen served 24 dishes today, which seemed a lot, and the average was only six dishes per person.

However, the dishes are exquisitely prepared, such as stir-fried quail with three fresh bamboo shoots, roasted dove seeds, etc., and made three or four of them with wings.

Xiaobao didn't come empty-handed either, and Madam Wang presented two cans of sturgeon roe sauce that Xiaobao had brought from Qingwatai, which was made from freshly caught sturgeon roe in autumn.

A table of dishes was only the price of a can of caviar, Xiao Bao didn't even notice it.

Chu Qing looked at Xiao Bao with a face full of relief but sorrow, but Xiao Bao didn't seem to feel it, and was digging out a spoonful of fish roe with a finger-sized shell spoon, put it in the tiger's mouth, and taught Princess Zhaohua: " You see, let it sit for a while, it will be warm, eat it!"

In terms of using complicated procedures to embody noble values, Xiaobao is not inferior to Chu Qing.

Not only that, Xiaobao put the caviar in his mouth, and ran over to the princess with his mouth closed, letting her hear the sound of the caviar being popped by the tip of his tongue. Zhaohua was startled by this action, Xiaobao But man!
Xiaobao also taught Zhaohua to eat caviar on the hard biscuits he brought.

Zhaohua has a soft spot for another salmon roe sauce that he got from Qingwatai, because the small orange-red granules look more beautiful than the gray-black sturgeon roe, and...

Princess Zhaohua said: "Crystal clear, round and full, the fish paste is rich in aroma, thick in taste, slightly salty at first taste, sweet aftertaste..."

Put another spoonful into your mouth, close your eyes and use the tip of your tongue to crush and burst the fish roe one by one: "Hmm... I seem to have tasted the fragrance of the ocean... the deliciousness lingers for a long time..."

Xiaobao met Chu Qing's eyes this time, and Chu Qing instantly understood Xiaobao's thoughts: Mother, you see, she is a real nobleman, and she eats such salty food so delicious!
