Chapter 125

Feng Xuanbin was left stunned by Sui Sui's question.

He sat there foolishly, and after a long while he murmured, "Sister, don't you think Prince Qing Uncle is fierce?"

On this point, Sui Sui agreed, nodding obediently: "He is fierce."

After saying that, Sui Sui quickly added: "But Prince Qing Uncle is a good person."

When she and her brother were almost killed by bandits, it was Prince Qing Uncle's arrow, like that of a heavenly deity, that saved them.

This is her lifesaver, and Sui Sui has always remembered him.

Feng Xuanbin also knew that Prince Qing Uncle was definitely a good person, and the latter would even have people bring them snacks.

But he's too fierce!

He was afraid.

Feng Xuanbin still wanted to say something, but Feng Xuanrui interrupted him; the young lad was still angry, sitting there with his hands on his hips, unconvinced, and asked Feng Xuanbin, "Am I really that useless?"

Prince Qing Uncle's meaning is simple: if you're useless, just practice more.

But Feng Xuanrui thinks he's not useless either.

And Little Seven is still at the bottom; he definitely isn't the last one.

Feng Xuanbin was left dumbfounded by that question.

Ask him?

Is he telling the truth, or is he telling the truth?

Feng Xuanbin held it in for a while, then nodded.

Feng Xuanrui instantly lost his composure and started wrestling with him.

Princess Consort of Qi watched from the side, her brow twitching: "In the carriage?"

She reminded them, and the two children temporarily separated.

But they remained unconvinced of each other.

Sui Sui stood in the middle, not knowing which brother to persuade.

However, the older brother was most important; after thinking, Sui Sui used her small body to block in front of Feng Xuanrui and whispered, "Little Seven, you can't bully your brother."

Feng Xuanbin:?

Was he being treated with double standards by his sister again?

Feng Xuanbin, unconvinced, burst into tears.

Feng Xuanbin is younger and doesn't understand many things very well.

In his view, things aren't right?

Then let's just cry!

His crying made Feng Xuanrui even angrier: "You're useless and you're still crying?"

Although Feng Xuanbin knows he's useless, he doesn't want to admit it; stubbornly holding his neck, he shouted, "I'm not useless, I'm not useless, I'm awesome!"

"You're useless, you're useless, you're the most useless!"

"Impossible!"

……

The two kids switched from fighting to arguing, and Princess Consort of Qi felt her left ear going ga-ga.

Right ear: gua-gua.

She shifted her position twice, but couldn't escape the chorus of ga-ga and gua-gua.

In the end, she could only hold Sui Sui close, gently stroking the little girl's head to ease the discomfort from the sharp sounds her ears had heard.

She thought: Next time, let the brats sit in the carriage by themselves.

In this space, you sit—once seated, not a sound.

Who can stand this?

Nothing like her Sui Sui, who is truly so well-behaved!

Watching Sui Sui obediently let her pat her head, Princess Consort of Qi couldn't help but start to have a headache: This child… could she be too well-behaved?

If she goes out like this, won't she be bullied?

Some people are just itchy-handed, liking to bully obedient children.

Sui Sui hasn't yet had the chance to leave the residence, but Princess Consort of Qi is already worrying about what will happen when she does.

Princess Consort of Qi even feels that the Small Classroom in the Wangfu isn't very safe either.

This bunch of brats has no depth; when I'm not around, won't they lead Sui Sui astray?

……

All the way back to the residence, Princess Consort of Qi's heart remained uneasy.

When they returned, the sky had already darkened.

The princes of the Wangfu usually return to eat; either they dine together in the eastern courtyard, or they go to their birth mother's courtyard to mooch off her meals.

Another way is to come eat in the main courtyard.

Normally, when the Prince is in the residence, to communicate feelings with the children and ask about their daily studies, he will summon them to have dinner together.

These past few days, the brothers have been eating in the main courtyard, and the reason is simple.

One is that Little Six hasn't returned in a long time, and everyone misses him.

The other is naturally Sui Sui.

Since the sister is eating here, they also shamelessly come over to mooch.

The main dish for dinner was fish noodles; the chefs had carefully prepared it all afternoon before the final result came out.

Besides that, there were also some side dishes, like stir-fried vegetables.

If one eats a meal in the courtyard oneself, Princess Consort of Qi's dinner is very light, with little grease.

But when the children come over, she still has the kitchen add more meat dishes.

Tonight's dinner, the most eye-catching dish, is naturally……

Grilled suckling pig slices.

Zhuangzi's side suddenly produced over forty piglets; now our stock is plentiful, so eating some of the previously grown little suckling pigs is also quite normal, right?

Princess Consort of Qi had mentioned this yesterday; the head cooks took it to heart immediately and prepared it today.

They selected the suckling pig's five-spice and plum meat, carefully removed the gamy smell, then seasoned it meticulously, marinated it, and then, controlling the heat on the charcoal grill, kept turning it over to roast.

Until the aroma wafted out, they took it out, brushed it once with honey, put it back on the charcoal grill, and continued roasting.

Finally, when the edges turned slightly brownish-yellow, they could pick it up and place it on a plate.

The five-spice meat, with fat and lean intermingled and rich in grease, after being grilled over fierce fire, the thick grease has burned away with the flame, leaving only a strong fragrance wrapped between the layers of texture; a bite yields tender, fragrant meat that one cannot refuse.

The plum meat is mostly lean, with only some connective tissue.

After being grilled over high heat, only a faint meaty fragrance remains.

Eating it, one need not worry about greasiness; moreover, the cooks handled it well, the plum meat roasted tender and flavorful, yet not dry and tough.

As soon as it hit the table, it drew everyone into excited chatter.

The Wangfu young masters, indeed accustomed to various delicacies, would originally have looked down on these.

But after training all afternoon, each of them was so hungry they could eat an ox.

Now that the delicacy was served, they could no longer restrain themselves.

"This is good, this is fragrant!"

"I want this!!"

……

Each one might speak fiercely, but their actions were very proper; no one lost etiquette, and they rushed forward to eat.

Everyone properly washed their hands, tidied themselves, then found their seats and sat down, afterwards gazing eagerly at Princess Consort of Qi.

Princess Consort of Qi had just washed Sui Sui's hands, held the little girl over, seated her in the chair beside her, and simply adjusted the cushion beneath Sui Sui.

The little girl is still too small; sitting in such a large chair is somewhat strenuous, and even with a thick cushion she still feels she can't quite reach.

Princess Consort of Qi felt a bit worried, thinking she should have someone custom-make another chair.

Otherwise, watching Sui Sui eat like this would make Princess Consort of Qi feel uneasy.

Having just tidied Sui Sui up, Princess Consort of Qi turned her head and met five pairs of eyes like hungry wolves, green and gleaming, yet pitiful.

This made her smile helplessly: "Let's eat."

Second watch.
