adorable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yellow Bean, hearing his name called by the lady of the house,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>excitedly circled around Xia Ruqing’s feet, whining softly and wagging his tail nonstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still didn’t let go of the little flower meant for Yue Er out of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Xia Ruqing feel a bit touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She put Yue Er down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing and her daughter both petted Yellow Bean’s fur which was half-wet from the mist, and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, these kids were all raised with Yellow Bean’s spoiling!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From Chenchen, to Henger and Yeye, finally to Yue Er!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All the kids love him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Yellow Bean with eyes full of affection, as she kept petting his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I almost treat him like family now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao wasn’t particularly interested in a dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since his daughter liked it, and the dog was very well-behaved,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he was quite pleased and waved his large hand enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone, bring him a pot of meat and bones to warm him

his head down and cozied up next to Yue Er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Er also sat by him accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One child, one dog, communicating with each other in their own understood way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao wanted to stop Yue Er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The ground is cold, how can you sit on the floor?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing pulled him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just bring a blanket over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Children don’t need to be overly pampered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yellow Bean is bathed every couple of days by a group of little palace maids, his fur is fluffy, soft, and clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial Medical Bureau even specially formulated powders to deworm and disinfect the dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Yellow Bean is clean inside and out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary bacteria surely exist, but pathogenic bacteria and parasites are generally unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing was not worried at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao thought, since Yue Er had grown up like this without illness, he too ceased worrying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just sat on the bed with Qingqing, sipping tea while watching their daughter play with the dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cozy living room, laughter and cheerful voices echoed from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, pets sometimes are truly joy-bringers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interaction between adults and children isn’t always fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adding a pet completely changes the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yellow Bean’s ravenous eating of meat and bones kept the family laughing for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Zhao Junyao couldn’t stop laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qingqing, you’ve truly neglected him, as if he’s never eaten before!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing couldn’t help laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren’t dogs all like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Er stood up excitedly from the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother, Yellow Bean loves this the most!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yellow Bean also loves chicken legs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing Scooped Yue Er up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s have someone cook chicken legs for Yellow Bean tonight, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Er replied sweetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The days passed quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the beginning of the year to the Lantern Festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duanning Palace was bustling with activity every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it wasn’t the children visiting, it was the harem concubines dropping by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t tiring; each day was full of laughter and conversations, with food and drinks making it quite comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Yellow Bean enjoyed half a month’s good days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the New Year, there was plenty of fish and meat, Yellow Bean’s belly had grown two sizes rounder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Yue Er running around, his steps were no longer as swift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chenchen, Henger, and Yeye loved Yue Er dearly and treated Yellow Bean just as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They grew up with him by their side, and each return was filled with indescribable affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One would pick him up and scratch him, another would hug him and pet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yellow Bean wagged his tail endlessly with joy every time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Lantern Festival day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing got up early, dressed and went to the side hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Er was also awakened by her wetnurse nanny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl was fussing because she hadn’t had enough sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing went to comfort her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to go out and play?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say last night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little girl made a pledge last night to get up early and go out of the palace today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Er, with tear-filled eyes, stopped crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked very pitiful, but it was clear she remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing spoke gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get up now, you can sleep in the carriage later, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today we’re going out of the palace to visit your cousin Chengze!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Er seemed a bit dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin Chengze?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t met him, and occasionally heard her mother mention him once or twice, but she had long forgotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl hummed and hawed, not knowing what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about Yellow Bean? Is he coming?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing tapped her on the forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can we take Yellow Bean out of the palace!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve had people prepare his favorite meat and bones, he’ll stay home and enjoy them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Er nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing successfully picked her up and handed her over to the wetnurse nanny to assist with dressing and washing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After washing up with Yue Er,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao also came over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, there was no need for morning court sessions before the Lantern Festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the realm is large, and there are always matters the imperial court officials couldn’t handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So every morning he would still go to discuss state affairs, which was similar to morning court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning now from the discussions,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he brought them a simple meal, then they each changed into casual clothes, and the three of them set out incognito.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage was parked at the palace gate, a not-so-conspicuous green oil cloth horse carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the inside was spacious, equipped with everything, and the palace attendants had already warmed it thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing carried Yue Er up, Zhao Junyao sat outside with the coachman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage started moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swaying lightly, Yue Er soon fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing placed a hand warmer in the bedding next to her, wrapping Yue Er snugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the carriage passed through the bustling streets of the capital city and arrived at the Hou Mansion, it was already more than half a Shi Chen later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yue Er, Yue Er, wake up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Called by Xia Ruqing, the little girl opened her sleepy eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother, where is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is your uncle’s house!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Er was still unfamiliar with the term ’uncle’, her little face looking puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing explained further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your uncle is very fond of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your cousin loves you too, and your aunt will prepare lots of delicious and fun things for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Er’s eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yay, yay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yue Er loves fun things the most!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1298,"2026-05-30T07:41:33.085Z","2026-06-01T04:30:40.316Z",1,"novelbin.me","21c9ad81380df41748ce5dbc1e02eef01ee26015a703811dc115c81ffe23b0d8","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-1178","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-1177",1204,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-cover.jpg"]
