Chapter 228 Steamed Lamb
The little girl pouted.
Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked like she was about to cry but couldn't.
They look so pitiful.
But no one came to comfort them.
Mu Jiangyue, in particular, avoided him as far away as possible.
She also has children and can't stand seeing children cry, especially such young children who don't have their parents around.
The uncle the child mentioned also ignored her and was very cold.
Princess Jiayue kept crying, and the Mu Jiangyue sisters even suspected that Prince Jing was abusing her.
As expected, she was overcome with maternal love and took the child to her tent.
However, less than an hour later, the sisters regretted it.
The little princess wouldn't listen to anyone. She would grab her sisters and ask for this and that. If they didn't get what she wanted, she would scream and cry. If things still didn't go her way, she would bite them like a puppy.
Then I cried, and kept crying.
They had no choice but to return the young princess to her.
When they returned the child, Mu Qianxue went with them. She looked at Prince Jing with sympathy and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I... I thought you were abusing the child..."
King Jing was stunned, watching the figure run away into the distance.
what?
Child abuse?
Suddenly it dawned on him that it was no wonder Xue'er had been giving him strange looks and ignoring him ever since they left Jiangzhou City.
original……
Xue'er thought he was abusing Cao Jiayue.
King Jing was both amused and exasperated.
Cao Jiayue cries like a pig being slaughtered whenever things don't go her way, so it's no wonder she misunderstood.
King Jing's mood suddenly improved a lot.
He can't get kites or little red birds, but he can get delicious food.
He led the tearful little girl out of the tent and towards the campfire. "Jiayue, today is your birthday. Let your uncle roast some lamb for you."
He remembered that Xiao Miaomiao also liked to eat roasted lamb.
Moreover, it seems that the two children were born in the same month, but it is unknown which day, or if they were born on the same day.
Cao Jiayue looked at the mutton, then at the ewe eating fodder in front of the tent.
The ewe's belly is already showing.
She pointed at the ewe and said, "Uncle, I want to eat steamed lamb..."
Prince Jing paused slightly, looking at her as if she were a monster, and asked seriously, "What do you want to eat?"
"Steamed lamb." Cao Jiayue's eyes rolled innocently.
She didn't understand why her uncle was looking at her with such surprise, and with that particular expression.
How unfamiliar, how terrifying!
King Jing gasped and said coldly, "Cao Jiayue, do you know what steamed lamb is made of?"
"I know, baby sheep." The little girl said proudly.
Princess Liang, who was brewing tea nearby, paused in her work and looked at Princess Jiayue with surprise, asking her, "Who gave you steamed lamb?"
Cao Jiayue looked at everyone with a puzzled expression and uttered two words: "Grandmother..."
Her grandmother let her try a bite or two, and it was delicious.
"This thing... children can't eat it. Has Madam Cao gone mad? Doesn't she care about harming the child's karma?" Princess Liang immediately ordered someone to take the ewe away.
These lambs were food that Yao Yao had prepared for them, but the ewe had gotten separated from the flock when they passed through a village and had been following their convoy ever since.
Unexpectedly, this little guy wanted to eat steamed lamb.
What kind of child is this?
Princess Rong'an was hearing about this for the first time and asked in confusion, "Mother, what is steamed lamb?"
"It's a medicinal dish. As the name suggests, it uses live lambs as ingredients... It's a lamb taken from the belly of a still-living ewe, or more accurately, an undeveloped fetus, stewed with chicken broth, white fungus, and fresh milk. It's said to have the effect of prolonging life..."
"If you see this at any banquet in the future, don't eat it, and children especially shouldn't eat it..." Princess Liang instructed.
Putting aside the fact that young people can't handle this stuff, even if they could, eating it would still be bad for their karma.
That's too cruel!
Princess Rong'an and Mu Qianxue stared wide-eyed at Cao Jiayue with disbelief.
She's such a small child, yet she dares to eat dishes made from live lambs.
And what about her grandmother, Madam Cao? What are they feeding the children? Aren't they afraid of killing them?
Mu Jiangyue moved closer to her younger sister, afraid that Princess Jiayue would cling to her.
Although children may speak without thinking and are naive, the thought of her eating steamed lamb still gives me goosebumps.
King Jing was at a loss for words.
Thank goodness this child isn't his biological niece, otherwise he'd be furious.
He felt that since learning the truth, he was less angry and more impatient with Cao Jiayue.
Perhaps because she wasn't their own child, they lost their high hopes for her.
The whole thing has nothing to do with me.
He summoned a maid and said, "Take the young princess back to the tent and keep a close watch on her."
Upon hearing this, Cao Jiayue became unhappy and jumped up and down in a panic, "No, I don't want to go back, I want to eat steamed lamb... Uncle is a bad guy..."
King Jing showed no interest in paying her any attention and waved his hand, ordering someone to take the child away.
Let her cry.
The ladies and young women who were previously overflowing with maternal love all turned a deaf ear and did not want to get involved in it at all.
Everyone silently sympathized with Princess Yuqing, wondering how she could have given birth to such a troublesome child.
Cao Jiayue, with her mouth covered by a maid and her stomach empty, was carried back to the tent.
She cried very hard this time, very hard...
Today is her birthday, how could her uncle treat her like this?
She didn't understand why her uncle had suddenly changed and become so unfamiliar.
She disliked her uncle.
Then the little girl got angrier and angrier, and started crying and screaming, kicking, tearing and biting the maids' feet, taking her anger out on them.
At first, the maids endured it.
Later, I simply couldn't take it anymore.
After a brief discussion, the maids decided to add a small amount of sleeping potion to the young princess's food.
These were medicines they had prepared while they were in Jiangzhou.
Especially after nightfall, they would drug her every night, and the girl would sleep soundly every night.
I feel a bit drowsy during the day too.
Everyone thought the little girl was either tired from the ride or had learned her lesson and become more sensible.
No one considered the possibility of drugging.
I felt that the whole world had become peaceful.
Princess Jiayue had a terrible birthday because she had to eat a steamed lamb dish.
Perhaps, that day wasn't her birthday at all.
Jiang Miaomiao was quite satisfied with her birthday, even though no one had said a single "Happy Birthday" to her.
Mother and brothers returned in the evening.
The family gathered in the courtyard.
Enjoy chrysanthemums, pick chrysanthemums.
Eat chrysanthemum porridge, chrysanthemum cakes, chrysanthemum omelets...
Drink chrysanthemum wine and chrysanthemum tea.
Of course, she couldn't drink alcohol; she drank chrysanthemum sweet tea.
The chrysanthemum wine belonged to my mother and Aunt Xiuxiu.
Although it was just simple congee and side dishes, it had a very warm and cozy feel to it.
As Aunt Xiuxiu drank, she began to worry. She tugged at her mother's sleeve, "Sister, the pastry shop is only a few days away from opening, and we haven't even chosen a location yet. Besides, the chrysanthemums we have in our yard aren't enough..."
Lu Qingyao pursed her lips. Oh no, she hadn't even had time to choose a shop yet...
“Mommy, there are flowers across the street, lots of chrysanthemums!” Jiang Miaomiao raised her little face.
His eyes lit up, and he had an idea.
Ready-made ingredients and a shop...
