Ruan Mianmian took great pains to customize this big thing, and the meal he made must be extraordinary. Lin Bingying was looking forward to it.
"If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it." Li Yu had eaten it before, and the food cooked over fire didn't taste very good, but he believed in Ruan Mianmian.
Ruan Mianmian motioned to the maid serving beside her to put the ingredients that had been washed, cut into pieces, marinated and skewered into skewers on the barbecue.
"Sister Lin, Sister Ji, it's fun to grill it yourself. Be careful, you might get burned." After saying this, Ruan Mianmian turned over the skewers placed in front of her with both hands.
It was really interesting to watch. Lin Bingying and Ji Ji also imitated Ruan Mianmian, and Ruan Xiao and Li Yu also took action after seeing this.
Within a moment, the aroma mixed with various ingredients spread everywhere, and Li Wang squeezed forward to take a closer look.
The closer he got, the more fragrant the scent became, and Li Wang followed suit.
"Pah!" Ji Ji casually picked up the chopsticks next to her and hit Li Wang's finger quickly and accurately.
"It hurts." Li Wang quickly retracted his hand.
Ruan Mianmian smiled and said calmly: "Don't you dislike it, then just watch."
"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it." Li Wang smiled like a dog, "It smells so good, it must taste even better."
After all, it was his own family. Li Yu chuckled and pulled Li Wang: "Sit down."
"You can have enough food and clothing by yourself." Ruan Mianmian uttered another golden sentence.
Ruan Xiao looked at Ruan Mianmian with a look of admiration: "My sister must be very good at studying."
The little girl smiled incomprehensibly. If she told her fourth brother that she had read the books in her grandfather's study and the carts of books she had brought back from her study, and remembered them all, she didn't know how he would react.
"It's burnt." Li Yu gently raised Ruan Mianmian's hand.
Ruan Mianmian looked at the skewer of meat in his hand and grinned: "Just right."
At the same time, several people nearby had already eaten. It was so delicious that even Lin Bingying and Ji Ji couldn't care less about their manners and ate it.
"Jiu'er, get some and send them to Fu'an Tang. Grandpa and grandma are old and eat less meat. Get more grilled fish, vegetables and fungi." Ruan Mianmian ordered.
"I'll get some for my mother too." Ruan Xiao did not forget Gu Qingrou.
"Second aunt recently learned housekeeping from my grandmother. She is in Fu'an Hall." Ruan Mianmian said vaguely with food in her mouth. Xiaonuituanzi paid attention to all aspects and naturally paid attention to Gu Qingrou.
Ruan Xiao felt relieved now: "Okay, since my mother follows my grandmother, she will naturally be able to eat such delicious food."
After slowly swallowing what was in his mouth, Ruan Mianmian asked casually: "Fourth brother seems to only care about second aunt."
After being stunned for a moment, Ruan Xiao replied: "I have always been closer to my mother."
"The second uncle is closer to the third brother?" Ruan Mianmian was a little puzzled, "Logically speaking, the fourth brother should be the second brother's favorite."
As she spoke, Ruan Mianmian's eyes fell on Li Yu. Ruan Xiao understood what she meant, because he was the prince's companion.
Before Ruan Mianmian, Ruan Xiao was not only the darling of his second wife, but also the darling of the Marquis of Ding'an. Even his eldest uncle doted on him, but his biological father was lukewarm.
Ruan Xiao put down the skewers in his hands and blurted out: "Not all parents will love it."
Upon hearing this, Li Yu's smile instantly disappeared and he said, "That's true."
"Your Highness, I didn't mean that." Ruan Xiao quickly realized that his words aroused the pain in Li Yu's heart.
Everyone present knew that the Empress did not want to see Li Yu, so Ruan Mianmian immediately responded: "My mother loves me very much, and my father has disappeared without even looking at me. I guess he must be a scumbag father."
Lin Bingying said honestly: "My mother passed away early. In fact, the person my father loves most is not me. He loves his younger brother more."
"Whether my parents are the same or not, whether they are in the capital or not, they would leave me to my grandfather and grandmother when I was a child." Ji Ji sighed deeply.
Li Wang said fortunately: "My mother hurts me, and my father saw me once again, but fortunately he was not in Beijing all year round."
Ruan Mianmian said slowly: "After such a comparison, my disciple is the happiest among all of you here."
"Happiness?" Li Wang almost doubted his ears, "Are you talking about me?"
Everyone thought about it carefully and couldn't help but nodded.
Li Wang put down the skewers in his hand and glanced around: "Are you kidding me?"
Lin Bingying was the first to say: "Both parents are alive."
"Always by your side." Ji Ji said.
"Grandpa, grandma dotes on you." Ruan Xiao followed.
Li Yu added: "Mother loves you very much."
"Even your father loves you very much." Ruan Mianmian said at last.
Li Wang retorted: "The rest can be said to be yes, but didn't I just say that my father would beat me every time he saw me."
"Shouldn't you beat him? Did he beat you wrong? Did anyone else beat you besides him?" Ruan Mianmian asked three times.
After a moment of silence, Li Wang had to admit: "I am a bit of a bastard, even if he beats me right."
"The deepest love brings the deepest responsibility." Ruan Mianmian said leisurely.
Li Wang met everyone's envious gazes and fell into deep thought.
"Little brother, did you hear what everyone said?" Xiao Naituanzi grabbed Li Yu's sleeve and asked eagerly.
Li Yu knew that Ruan Mianmian was trying to comfort him, so the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Don't worry, I'm used to it, and besides, I still have you by my side."
"Well, no matter what time, I will stand by my little brother's side."
"Any time? Any time?" Li Yu asked again and again with a slightly raised brow.
These words sounded a bit strange. Ruan Xiao heard that Li Yu seemed to have something to say, and felt that he was abducting his sister.
Ruan Mianmian nodded heavily without hesitation and said softly: "Yes, all the time."
"Okay, always." Li Yu held Xiaonuituanzi's hand and looked at her with a bright smile, and couldn't help but also smile brightly.
At this moment, Li Yu once again made up his mind to keep the title of Crown Prince and sit in that position, because only by becoming the supreme person can he protect Xiaotai Tuanzi and keep her smiling so happily.
"Your Highness," the young eunuch who followed Li Yu walked up behind him and called softly.
During these days together, everyone knew that this was a reminder to Li Yu that it was time to return to the palace.
"So soon?" Ruan Mianmian pouted in dissatisfaction, "Why are you going back so soon today?"
"Something happened." Li Yu stood up and stretched out his finger to tap Ruan Mianmian's mouth, "I shouldn't have left the palace, but I suddenly wanted to see you, so I made this trip."
Ruan Mianmian suddenly jumped up: "You guys eat, my little brother and I will go to the palace."
"No." Li Yu immediately raised his voice and refused.
Xiao Naituanzi stared into Li Yu's eyes: "Then you go and do your business, and I'll go see the Queen Mother and the Emperor."
"Let's wait another day." Li Yu actually stopped him. This chapter has been completed!
