Chapter 144: Steamed Goose and Duck Ribs

Sui Sui looked like a female general about to go to the battlefield, her face showing she viewed death as a return home, and she went up.

The little girl straightened her back, her neck held high, looking full of confidence.

Princess Consort of Qi felt happy seeing this, but couldn't help feeling heartbroken.

Oh dear!

No way!

Piercing the ears hurts too much; she couldn't rest easy.

Clearly she had been persuading Sui Sui earlier, but now she reached out and pulled the person close to her, looking reluctant.

Sui Sui had already prepared herself, but Mother Consort pulled her back; she raised her head, looking at Mother Consort in confusion, seemingly not understanding her intention.

The adorable little hat matched Sui Sui's small head.

Hearing her brother ask, she gently shook her head.

Liu He Meng didn't quite understand from the side, but since adults were speaking, she obediently didn't interrupt, quietly taking Sui Sui's little hand.

Feng Xuanjie walked over silently and gently helped Sui Sui up.

Feng Xuanbin was the first to object, puffing out his little belly as he charged forward: "How can I not be able? I'm strong—I can fight and I can carry; sister, let me take care of you!"

Feng Xuanbin: ……

Oh no, Sixth Brother is going to kill him—run!

The children were noisy; Princess Consort of Qi watched from the side, knowing Sui Sui wasn't hurt, so she didn't ask further.

There are plenty of people without pierced ears.

Don't worry about it.

Feng Xuanrui didn't notice in time and actually let him bump into him; after stepping back two steps, he directly knocked Sui Sui over, making her fall flat on her butt.

As long as the head isn't broken, it's usually not a big problem.

Feng Xuanbo:?

Tomorrow, and tomorrow again—how many tomorrows there are, Princess Consort!

Unfortunately, advising doesn't help with this sort of thing.

Princess Consort of Qi raised her hand and gently touched Sui Sui's little ear, then smoothed the tassel by her ear, smiling as she said: "Mother Consort will later take the brothers to the palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager; you just got your ears pierced, Mother Consort won't be by your side, so she's worried—let's do it tomorrow, tomorrow."

This table of dishes, with a mix of meat and vegetable, varied in color, just looking at them fills one with anticipation.

As for whether we can pierce them tomorrow—

Who knows?

Anyway, Princess Consort of Qi told Doctor Liu that we'll pierce them tomorrow.

After the morning lessons ended, Feng Xuanrui and his brothers came from the direction of the Small Classroom to the dining hall.

After Sui Sui sat down, her eyes were so busy she kept looking at one thing then another.

Upon seeing Sui Sui, they all gathered around, turning her little hat.

Sui Sui leaned against Mother Consort on one side and held hands with Mengmeng Jiejie on the other.

What day isn't a good day for piercing?

It's fine if you don't want to get pierced.

After the meal, the dessert was red bean sweet soup, with a handful of dried cherries sprinkled in.

So, always be ready—you can get pierced anytime.

When Sui Sui fell, she looked completely bewildered, having no idea how Seventh Brother bumping into Brother caused her to fall.

This question is a bit difficult for Sui Sui.

Just wait.

Although I'd seen it before, looking at it now I still like it very much.

The problem is, the brothers' love is truly heavy!

They reached out their hands, touching Sui Sui's hat and tassel, occasionally poking the little girl's dimple.

Since Liu He Meng will come as a study companion, Doctor Liu will likely have to come to the Wangfu every day.

……

It feels really nice to the touch!

Touch the stubble, then touch the tassel.

Older sister's hand is soft; Sui Sui likes holding it.

Things like striking a cow from afar……

Feng Xuanrui even directly pulled Sui Sui behind him: "You don't know how to properly look after your sister—let me handle it, you all step aside!"

Seeing his sister shake her head, Feng Xuanrui felt more relieved, turned around and started fighting with Feng Xuanbin.

Although many dishes on the table are new, Sui Sui has only been here a short time, so the chefs' creativity hasn't been fully expressed yet.

Doctor Liu had already gotten used to it; he turned his back and quietly prepared his tools.

Everyone's movements were bold yet carried a touch of elegance, not losing the propriety of a gentleman.

At noon, their staple food was four-colored steamed buns and honey-oil steamed cakes.

Anyway, his tools are always with him.

Feng Xuanbin actually felt quite guilty, but before he could squeeze over to apologize to his sister, Sixth Brother punched him.

The overall atmosphere of Great Summer is still not bad; Doctor Liu thought to himself.

Doctor Liu even prepared himself for the possibility that the piercing might not happen today.

Vigorous and lively, occupying the character for 'life'—that's a good omen.

So, most of the time, what Sui Sui sees are new dishes.

Sui Sui simply didn't know.

At most it's just not wearing earrings; that's not a big deal even in Jing Cheng.

Soft and soft, a bit like a cat, nice to pet.

Besides that, there are also several vegetarian dishes as garnish.

She felt she shouldn't think that way, but she couldn't control herself!

The Princess Consort of Qi felt conflicted for a while, but in the end decided to do it tomorrow.

Once children become interested in something, they easily gather together.

The final soup dish was clear-steamed milk pigeon.

The little girl was happy and didn't feel disappointed about not being able to get her ears pierced for now: "Mm, I'll listen to Mother Consort."

Feng Xuanrui didn't understand; he turned around, nervously asking: "Sister, where does it hurt? Do you need help?"

It's obvious on you again?

While speaking, he still stuck out his belly to provoke Feng Xuanrui.

Sui Sui watched her brothers eat with relish, and already felt tempted.

After the Princess Consort of Qi said to start, the young masters had already begun.

"It's smoother than tassels!"

Sui Sui was surrounded by a group of brothers, almost unable to catch her breath.

After a while of playing, the Princess Consort of Qi led them to wash up and eat.

So, playing to their heart's content is also quite good.

That man likes it, so he'll get it pierced and then wear extravagant earrings.

The Princess Consort of Qi watched from the side, smiling as she tapped her little head: "Sui Sui, which one do you like? Mother Consort will have someone pick it for you."

Sui Sui: ……

Help!

She was almost unable to catch her breath.

Feng Xuancang kept staring: "Hey hey hey, sister!"

This is a personal preference and liking; others can't stop it.

Mother Consort said again, she pointed to the steamed goose and duck dish and whispered: "I want to try that."

Liu Dafu: ……

"Mm, your sister's hair is smoother!"

Moreover, being lively and active proves the body is healthy.

The Princess Consort of Qi watched from the side, helplessly reminding them: "If you keep squeezing like this, Sui Sui won't be able to catch her breath."

As soon as she said that, Feng Xuanrui and the others finally reacted and hurriedly scattered.

Sui Sui just sat on a stool and didn't feel any pain.

Considering the young masters still have physical education in the afternoon, the table had four meat dishes: roasted chicken, dried venison, steamed goose and duck, and minced carp.

When the fourth brother helped her up, Sui Sui still tilted her head in confusion, looking utterly puzzled.

As for the boys' roughhousing…

The little girl had a clueless expression, making people's hearts feel soft.

Originally it was just forced courage; hearing that she didn't have to get pierced, Sui Sui still felt a little relief in her heart.

However, the steamed goose and duck was close by, and its aroma was still rich.

Sui Sui, upon smelling it, found it hard to resist the temptation, so she wanted to eat it first.

The second watch is at 19:00.
