When Xie Xun went to Qin Rushuang's yard, Qin Rushuang and Qingzhi were feeding the baby rice cereal.
The baby has reached the month when it is time to eat glutinous rice.
After doing some cooking and research in the past few days, Qingzhi happily made a small bowl today and served it to the baby, hoping that he would try it.
The baby was very curious about the bowl of glutinous rice paste at first. It was white in color and smelled of rice.
When Qingzhi gave him the first spoonful, he also tasted it.
After just one spoonful, I never wanted to eat it again.
Qingzhi was a little anxious: "Why doesn't he like to eat?"
Qin Rushuang took it, took another spoon, tasted it, and said with a smile, "This rice paste only has the aroma of rice, no sweetness, and no salty taste. The taste is bland, so naturally he doesn't like it."
"But the imperial doctor said it's best not to add anything else."
Qin Rushuang patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll give it a try."
But this time, even if the mother took action, the baby would not give it any face. When he saw the spoon coming, he turned his head away and refused to eat no matter how much he was fed.
Seeing that the baby didn't like it, Qingzhi relented a little, "Miss, why don't you wait until he gets older? The wet nurse has enough milk, so it's okay to feed him for a while longer."
Qin Rushuang shook her head: "We still have to let him have a taste. What foods should be eaten in which months. These are the rules summarized by the predecessors. While he is still young, give him a good physical foundation."
Qin Rushuang fed the baby a few more times, but the baby still refused to eat. She was about to put the bowl down and wait until he was hungry before feeding again, when she heard Xie Xun's voice coming from behind.
"Let me try."
Hearing this, Qin Rushuang raised her head and looked at Xie Xun.
She didn't wonder why Xie Xun suddenly appeared. She thought it was because she had collected the things he had sent from the warehouse.
However, Qin Rushuang did not hand the bowl to him, but said: "Your Majesty is of high status, so there is no reason for him to feed a baby milk paste himself."
"I am the father of the child, so I should."
After saying that, he took the paste from Qin Rushuang's hand without any refusal.
Qin Rushuang was so happy that she stood aside with her arms folded, wanting to see how Xie Xun would deal with this baby who couldn't even understand the words.
After a while.
Qin Rushuang looked at the embarrassed Xie Xun and was speechless.
What good idea could she use to treat Xie Xun...
It turned out that I found the baby's toys, played with him, fed him some gooey food, and stuffed him with a mouthful when the baby wasn't paying attention.
The baby was not happy at first, but after a few mouthfuls, he seemed to taste the aroma of rice in the paste and was somewhat willing to eat it.
It's just that Xie Xun himself is a little embarrassed.
His hands and clothes were stained with white rice paste, but he usually liked to wear dark clothes, so these marks were more obvious at this moment.
At first, the baby was a little afraid of this father with a cold face. After trying it a few times, he became so bold that he even grabbed the paste with his little hands and smeared it on Xie Xun's face.
So at this moment, Xie Xun's handsome face was smeared by the baby in several places, even on the tip of his nose.
Seeing that she was almost done eating, Qin Rushuang coughed lightly and drove all the servants out.
It would be hard for them to see King Huai in such a miserable state.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work. I will do the rest."
Xie Xun wanted to feed him more, but just then Ying Er came in to report that several lieutenants in the army had important matters to discuss with him, so Xie Xun could only put down the contents of the bowl.
"I'll come as soon as I go."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out directly.
Qin Rushuang opened her mouth several times, and finally stopped Xie Xun when he was about to step out of the room.
"Your Majesty... why don't you just wipe your face."
"It is detrimental to the majesty of the prince if he is seen by his subordinates like this."
Of course the main reason is...
Qin Rushuang also wants to save face.
She didn't want outsiders to see Prince Huai in such a mess, and she said that she was a careless princess and didn't even help the prince clean up before letting him go out to meet guests.
When Xie Xun heard this, he stopped and turned his head to look at Qin Rushuang.
"I don't think there is anything embarrassing. If you were in an ordinary family, this would be normal."
"I'm leaving first. You've worked hard taking care of the children. If you need anything, please let me know."
After saying that, without waiting for Qin Rushuang to persist, she walked out of the yard.
Ying Er followed behind and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, you really don't want to clean up...?"
Xie Xun glanced at him and said, "Didn't you say the situation is urgent? Just go to the study."
Ying Er scratched his head.
Although the prince used to be informal, he still paid attention to his own image. What happened today...
It wasn't until he went to the study that Ying Er finally understood why the prince was doing this.
Men's vanity...
In the study room.
When Zou Yuan, Nie Lei, and Zhu Sha heard the footsteps, they all looked at Xie Xun who stepped into the study, and then...
They all froze in place.
In the end, it was the upright Nie Lei who spoke first.
"My lord, is this on your body...? What's this on your face...? Are you cooking today?"
Xie Xun glanced at the three of them lightly.
"This is rice cereal."
Nie Lei didn't understand and asked, "My lord, you have a bad stomach. Do you want to eat something soft...?"
Xie Xun:……
Xie Xun coughed and tried to keep his face as calm as possible.
"You two are not married yet, and you don't have any children, so naturally you don't know about this food. This is for children over half a year old."
"Ah?" Nie Lei was a little confused.
What does the prince mean by saying this?
In the end, Zou Yuan was the more discerning and said quickly, "Ah! It must be the prince himself who feeds the little emperor grandson rice cereal. The prince is such a good father!"
For the first time, Xie Xun felt that Zou Yuan was a good person, so he continued what he said.
"Rushuang fed him, but he didn't want to eat, so I had no choice but to ask for help from this king."
He spoke calmly, but he couldn't hide the show off in his tone.
Zou Yuan was indeed on the right track and followed his words.
"Ah, it turns out that the prince and the princess are feeding the child rice cereal together! No wonder it's like this! It seems that the prince and the princess... must have resolved a lot of misunderstandings now, right? Congratulations, prince!"
Xie Xun nodded arrogantly, but the smile on his lips could not be stretched.
"If you have anything to do, please tell me quickly. The king and the princess will share the dinner together, and you won't have any share."
How many people had never seen Xie Xun look so serious and childish? They all tried their best to suppress their laughter and nodded quickly: "Okay, Your Majesty! Let's finish it as soon as possible without delaying the meal of the Prince and Princess!"
…
When it came to business, several people put away their smiles.
Zou Yuan spoke first.
"Your Majesty, the fiefdom your Majesty gave you is in Fuhuai. That place is barren and remote, and you only have three months to prepare. What about the arrangements in the military camp...?"
Xie Xun's expression also became serious.
Emperor Qi's act of killing the donkey really chilled his heart.
Since Emperor Qi ignored the relationship between father and son and could order his fief to be so remote, he could not just sit back and wait for death.
Some things should be arranged in advance.
…
At this time, Qin Rushuang was in the courtyard.
The housekeeper also came.
I came here to remind Qin Rushuang to pack her things.
"Princess, the prince has gradually begun to tidy up the things in the palace. This side of your yard...?"
"I see that you are worried about Miss Qingzhi's marriage recently, so I came here to ask if you need me to call some people to help?"
Qin Rushuang waved her hand in interest, "I don't need to clean it up here. There are few things and it won't last a few days."
"not to mention……"
What's more, whether we can go to Fuhuai as Emperor Qi wished in the end is another question!
