old queen

Chapter 22

"Mother, this son is not a picky eater, but just doesn't want to eat what he doesn't want to eat." A muffled voice came from the door, making Mu Mingchun stop washing the radishes.

"My maidservant has seen the prince, the princess, and the sixth lord!" The result of putting all her thoughts on dissuading Mu Mingchun was that she failed to find someone coming in time.When they found out, the people around Mu Mingchun in the kitchen hurriedly bowed down and shouted in unison.

"Excuse me." Long Rui said, raising his little hand with a bit of courage.

The little man!Seeing this, Mu Mingchun naturally had a soft and loving smile on his face.Wipe the clothes with both hands a few times, wipe off the water splash on the hands, then walk over to hug the two children, hehe said with a smile: "Rui'er, Jiu'er, you are here! The queen mother is busy now, you should talk to the emperor first." And Feng'er and the others will play for a while, and lunch will be ready soon." After speaking, he turned to Long Yu and smiled brightly at him, "Sixth Brother, thank you, you really brought them here on time."

"My younger brother always keeps his word when doing things." Long Yu smiled, his eyes fell on her clothes that were wet by well water, and she asked in a little surprise, "Sister-in-law, are you really cooking?"

"Of course it's true. Could it be that there are fake ones?" Mu Mingchun laughed.Seeing the child, she was in a good mood, so she tilted her head, "Why, what's wrong with me cooking myself?"

Of course not!Long Yu secretly said in his heart.He just said: "Let the people below do these things, why do you have to do it yourself." As the mother of a country, it is natural to wait to be served at all times.

It turned out that he also said these words.Mu Mingchun smiled indifferently, and said: "If I usually eat alone, it's no problem to cook for them. But today, now, it's for my son and daughter, so of course it's my own hands. Otherwise, How can I be a mother?"

Why can't you justify it?Long Yu really wanted to ask.His eyes fell on the piles of green vegetables behind her, as well as the fresh and delicious carrots, green peppers and other things on the ground, and his stomach convulsed.Was she trying to poison the kids with these things for lunch?

Glancing at the forbearing expression on his face, one could tell that this person was also a member of the royal picky eaters group, and with a hint of disdain in his heart, Mu Mingchun said lightly, "Sixth Brother, if you would rather be with that scumbag brother of yours, Let's have lunch, I'm fine with that." She's also more than happy to be alone with the kids.

No way!He wants to stay here to watch the excitement.Long Yu said in his heart. "Emperor's Sister-in-law, as long as you don't give my younger brother only porridge, my younger brother will not be picky about food." At that time, as long as you pick and choose, you will definitely find something that you can eat.Besides, it's important to watch a play.Otherwise, it is okay for him to go to the palace to have a big meal later on an empty stomach.

"Okay then! You're the one who wants to stay." Mu Mingchun shrugged, without asking any more questions, and said, "The kitchen is messy, you and the children go out and wait for a while, lunch will be ready soon."

While they were talking, Long Rui walked over slowly, raised his tender face, his facial features were tense, and said solemnly: "Mother, I just brought the imperial sister over to see you. Look It's over, the minister should go. If not, you will be miserable if your father finds out that you don't listen to him."

"How miserable can it be?" When Long Che was mentioned, the smile on Mu Mingchun's face suddenly cooled down, and his mood was not as good as before.

However, she didn't seem to sense the sudden change in her mood. Long Rui still said solemnly: "If it is light, it will increase your time in the cold palace, if it is serious, it will deduct your monthly silver. board."

"Speaking of it, that's all. I don't think he can play any new tricks." Mu Mingchun sneered, "I'm not afraid of letting him do whatever I want!"

"But I'm afraid." Long Rui said, holding his younger sister's hand, "So, Queen Mother, for your safety, it's better for Erchen and Huangmei to leave earlier."

"Long, Rui!" Going crazy with this little devil's paralyzed face, which is as virtuous as his father's, Mu Mingchun let out a low growl, knelt down and pinched his tender cheeks a few times, angrily Said, "Brat, are you so against the mother who gave birth to you and raised you? I haven't seen you for several days, and I haven't seen you miss me much when we meet. That's fine, I haven't said a few words yet , you just want to leave? Want to take your sister away with you? Tell you, dreaming!"

"But the queen mother..." Erchen is doing it for your own good!His face hurt so much, Long Rui wrinkled his face and said a little bit wronged.

"There's nothing wrong with it! You just stay here honestly and talk about it after dinner. Otherwise, if you dare not listen to my words and run out, I'll go out with you and drag you back!" Mu Mingchun put his hands together Akimbo, let out a voice.Judging by this posture, I really intend to keep my word.

Long Rui's complexion changed, he waved his hands quickly, and said loudly: "Mother, please don't go out of this door!"

"Then you stay and eat." Mu Mingchun said.That's all she wants.

His eyes swept over the green dishes on the stove, and Long Rui's face was covered with pain. "Okay, I'll just stay and have dinner." But there was no other way but to agree pitifully.

Hahaha, seeing his deflated appearance, Mu Mingchun felt so happy!Bending down and rubbing the hair on the top of his head: "This is my good son!"

"Queen, you'd better go cook!" Long Rui frowned slightly, and took a few steps back to escape from her clutches.

Cut, it's not cute.Mu Mingchun curled his lips, turned around and hugged his daughter's soft body again, rubbed her apple face, and then handed her over to Qian'er beside him, and whispered: "Qian'er, bring the prince and princess Go out and play."

"No need. I'll just wait here for my mother! In case the mother turns around and can't find me, thinking I've slipped away." Long Rui shook his head and said seriously.

He thought she didn't trust him so much?Couldn't help pinching his white and tender face, Mu Mingchun said: "Well, you can do whatever you want. But, remember to stand far away, and be careful not to get your clothes dirty with vegetable crumbs."

"I know." Long Rui said, holding Long Jiu'er's hand, the two of them stood obediently in a corner of the kitchen.

Wash, wash, chop, chop, chop.

When Mu Mingchun neatly cut the green peppers into perfect shreds and sliced ​​the meat into almost the same thickness, Feng Er and the others who had surrounded her from the beginning, hoping to make her stop, stopped talking; Turn it over, cut it a few times, a round radish turns into a layered flower bud in the blink of an eye, and the eyes of the two children are round; Stewing soup, frying vegetables in the pot, and a steamer behind her, although she is only alone, she can come and go freely in this small space, taking her time, and all activities are carried out in an orderly manner. Seeing this In the first scene, a shocked expression appeared on Long Yu's face; in the end, when he saw Mu Mingchun throwing pots and vegetables like a master chef in a restaurant, he still didn't take half a step back in the face of the fire that reflected his face. At that time, everyone's questions were swallowed back in their stomachs, and they could only let out a sound of admiration.Qian'er guarded Long Rui's brother and sister, and the others obediently walked over to help her follow Mu Mingchun's order.

Not long after, more than a dozen dishes with delicious flavors and flavors were served, filling a small square table to the brim.

"Come on, it's time to eat!" Handing the last plate of dishes to Yun'er, holding the spatula, Mu Mingchun shouted, washed off the oil stains on his hands, gathered together those who were a little scattered due to being too busy Hairstyle, hugged a child in the past, and sent them to the dinner table.Needless to say, Long Yu spontaneously found a place to sit after the three of them sat down.

The smell of the food had already wafted everywhere when she was halfway through the cooking, making the gluttons crawl around in people's stomachs, the acid water in the stomach was bubbling, and the stomach was gurgling.But now, the dozens of side dishes in front of them are even more fresh and eye-catching.Various flower shapes cut from green peppers, shredded and carved carrots are arranged in various beautiful shapes, and green vegetable leaves of various shapes are matched with each other, which can be said to be full of flowers and beautiful.What is placed in front of them can hardly be said to be food, but an absolute work of art!Long Yu felt an urge to move the entire table back to the palace!

"Queen, Jiu'er wants to eat this, this, and this!" Obviously, he was not the only one who was tempted.As soon as he sat down at the table, Long Jiu'er pointed at this and that with his fat little finger, and ordered no less than five servings of food for himself.Among them, at least half of them are things she usually hates.

"Okay!" After winning the first battle, Mu Mingchun was in a good mood. He put the dishes ordered by his daughter into her small bowl one by one, touched her head, and said with a smile, "Jiu'er will eat plum blossoms and peony flowers first." , Mom will give you peach blossoms and roses later, okay?"

"Okay!" Long Jiu'er said excitedly, blinking her big round eyes. "Ah—" Opening his mouth wide, Ren Mu Mingchun put the piece of red bell pepper cut into the shape of a plum blossom into his mouth.

Ahhhhhhh, after chewing the plum blossoms in a few mouthfuls, she couldn't wait to shout: "Mother, Peony! Peony!"

"Isn't it here?" Mu Mingchun smiled, picked up a piece of peony petals made of boiled egg whites, and put them into her red and tender mouth that was opened to the maximum.

After feeding her daughter a few mouthfuls, Mu Mingchun turned around, only to find that her son was sitting there with his head upright and his chest upright, with a pair of chopsticks still in front of him, showing no signs of making a move.The same is true for Long Yu on the opposite side.

She knew that this precocious boy was not as easy to fool as his simple sister.Sighing slightly, he put a pink and tender white rose into his son's bowl, and then forced the chopsticks into his hands. Mu Mingchun smiled all over his face, and coaxed softly: "Ruier, look, this rose What beautiful flowers!"
