Chapter 620: Eating Lamb Hotpot on a Snowy Day
Even Jiang Ruobai, who had seen and experienced a lot, was astonished.
He reached out to touch it: “This… ”
“This was made by that famous embroiderer I asked for. Dad, you know, in recent years, this embroiderer has basically only embroidered dragon robes for the emperor, and not even for the Empress.”
Jiang Ruobai laughed, “How could I not know? Well done, girl! How did you manage to do this?”
“Of course, I asked His Majesty to order the embroiderer to do it.”
“Surprisingly, His Majesty granted your unreasonable request.”
“When Concubine Yu gave birth, I risked the snowstorm to bring her supplents in the middle of the night, ensuring that she safely gave birth to the Sixth Imperial Prince. Such great news, and only asking for a piece of clothing and a few days off. The Emperor is not so stingy.”
Jiang Ruobai stroked her head, “Your Fifth Sister will be overjoyed to see this.”
“Dad knows I don’t have much money so I can’t afford to give Fifth Sister such valuable phoenix coronets and jewelry. I hope she won’t dislike it just because it’s just a piece of clothing.”
Jiang Ruobai laughed, “What do jewelry and gemstones count for? How much do we lack at ho? What’s important is this special honor.”
Among all the brides, who could wear a wedding dress made by the embroiderer who specially embroiders dragon robes?
Jiang Ruobai said, “Seventh Sister, I thought you weren’t close to your two sisters during these years away from ho. I know that after you lost your mother, I spoiled your Fifth Sister too much and turned her into a spoiled brat, and you didn’t like her much… ”
“Dad,” Jiang Ning laughed, “I don’t dislike Fifth Sister. Actually, among the brothers and sisters in our Jiang Family, I know that none of them are bad. Even Fifth Sister, with the worst temper, has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She may be sharp-tongued, but when sothing really happens, she still protects her family mbers.”
“Ah! If you can understand this, I feel truly relieved. Family harmony brings prosperity, and as long as you siblings get along, nothing else matters.”
“Alright, Dad, take the box and go back happily.”
Jiang Ruobai gratefully embraced the box and went back cheerfully.
Chunlai and Xiachu stamped their feet and ran in, panting with laughter, “It’s really cold.”
“Indeed, it’s cold.”
Jiang Ning ward her hands by the charcoal basin, “Ask the kitchen to prepare so mutton. Tonight, I’ll teach you to make a mutton pot, both fragrant and warm.”
“Really? Eating mutton in winter is the most nourishing.” Chunlai was overjoyed, but then frowned, “No, mutton is too gay. If we eat it, our mouths will have a taste that our Master will notice.”
Jiang Ning laughed, “I have a way to make the mutton not gay, and even the children can eat so. After eating, just brush your teeth and rinse your mouth with green salt.”
Two maids happily went to prepare.
Lingzi and Wenzan woke up and ca over with their toys, climbing all over her.
Jiang Ning embraced one with each arm, warm and fragrant.
It wasn’t until dusk, when the yard was filled with the aroma of at and the snow began to fall again, that Li Hongyuan arrived.
“This maid pays respect to the Crown Prince.” Huang Ying hurried to bow and lift the curtain, inviting him in.
Li Hongyuan stepped in and saw the two children nestled beside Jiang Ning, listening to her read a book.
“…and in the end, the hunter used scissors to cut open the wolf’s stomach and rescued Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother.”
Lingzi’s eyes sparkled, and she clapped her hands with a smile, “That’s great!”
Wenzan also listened intently, asking, “Then what happened?”
“After that, the hunter brought many stones and put them into the big wolf’s stomach, and then sewed up its stomach. When the big wolf woke up, its stomach was so heavy that it couldn’t move!”
