The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Upon hearing that his masters were going to have a barbecue in the garden, Eunuch Ma personally led his disciples to prepare the food.

Xiao Luzi was the one who had been with his master the longest. He saw that his master had prepared a long list of items, including whole lamb, beef, spare ribs, venison, roe deer meat, etc.

"Master, this time there are only Fu Jin and the young masters, can we eat so much irritating meat?"

Eunuch Ma glanced at him and said, "I have been serving Madam Fu for so many years. Do I need you to remind me? The cold dishes and green vegetables to relieve greasiness are on another list!"

Xiao Luzi smiled flatteringly: "Of course, who can compare with you, Master? I just have a bad mouth. Look at my broken mouth."

After saying this, he even pretended to hit himself on the mouth a few times.

Eunuch Ma smiled and kicked him, then handed him a large food box: "Okay, little brat, don't say that the master doesn't love you. Take the food box to the garden and present it to Fu Jin."

"Hey!" Xiao Luzi responded happily, picking up the food box and walking quickly and steadily, obviously he had practiced for several years.

When he arrived at the garden, he saw the eldest prince and the seventh prince catching butterflies.

This is strange. The eldest prince is such a cautious and polite person, but his life is so dull. To be disrespectful, he is just like his deceased ex-wife. His life is boring at first glance.

Now I can accompany my brother to catch butterflies?

Quite novel.

But that was the masters' business. Xiao Luzi didn't dare to look at it anymore. He showed the food box to Zhao Fuhai. The old man was very arrogant now. He asked with a frown: "Why is there only this?"

Xiao Luzi nodded and bowed: "Brother Zhao, my master said that the ingredients need to be prepared for a while, so I will give these to the masters to try first."

"Well." Zhao Fuhai waved his hand, "Go ahead. Tell your master to be quick. How can you let the master wait?"

"Eh! Eh!"

Xiao Luzi then came up to Fu Jin and put down the food box. A group of young masters surrounded him.

"What is this food?"

"Just this one box?"

"Is there any meat in here?"

Everyone was talking at once, making Xiao Luzi laugh out loud.

Or maybe this lady is really lucky, look at all these children, how cute! It reminds him of his younger brothers who used to follow him around and ask for candy when he was little.

"My lords, this is the ginger milk and ice cream that my servant master ordered to be delivered."

Changning asked him to place the snacks on a long table not far away, where there was an open lawn facing a pond and flowers, and the environment was very beautiful.

Seeing there was food, the children swarmed over.

Changning opened the lid of the bowl and saw the snow-white cheese inside, sprinkled with a layer of osmanthus honey, which looked particularly refreshing and appetizing.

Another serving of ginger milk is sprinkled with crushed rose petals. Against the white backdrop, the aqua red color looks even more alluring and gorgeous.

The food box was quite big, with a total of nine servings of ice yogurt and ginger milk. They were not big, just a small bowl, which could take about four or five mouthfuls.

It’s just right that except for the three little ones who are still in their cradles, there is one portion for each of the others.

Honghui and Yierha were not feeling well, so Changning didn't dare to let them eat cold food. He handed them two bottles of ginger milk and said with a smile: "Try this first, and then eat the barbecue later."

Hutuli likes to eat ice cream: "Mother, is this osmanthus honey what we made last autumn?"

"Yeah, if you like we can do more this year."

Hong Zhao also likes the taste of osmanthus honey: "This is sweet!"

This made Yierha and Honghui take a look into their cups. It was indeed sweet and tempting.

Although Hongmin and Hongchen are young, they can already eat by themselves and can use a spoon properly.

It's just that Hongyang is not strong enough, and the food he eats with the spoon is all over his face. Honghui wanted to wipe it for him with a handkerchief, but this boy showed an innocent smile, which melted people's hearts.

My brother is so handsome!

Honghui couldn't help but sigh.

It's just that his eating manners are a bit sloppy.

Honghui frowned. Such a young child should be fed by a wet nurse and should also drink milk. However, it seemed that Chun'er's mother wanted the seventh brother to eat by himself and it didn't matter how he ate. He couldn't say anything and could only help him wipe his mouth silently.

Chang Ning was also happy when she saw Hong Yang's face was like a little cat after eating: "Hong Hui, you don't have to worry about him, just wipe it after he finishes eating."

Honghui nodded, but seeing his seventh brother getting dirtier and dirtier as he ate, he couldn't control himself and wanted to wipe it clean for him.

Hong Yan also spoke up at this time: "Brother, Hong Yang just likes this milky smell. Even if you wipe it off, he will continue to do it."

Honghui put down his hand after hearing this, a little embarrassed: "I thought he couldn't hold the spoon steadily."

Hong Zhao laughed loudly, not caring about his brother's face at all, and directly exposed his shortcomings: "Brother, you are right, he just can't hold it steady, hahaha."

As they were chatting and laughing, Eunuch Ma came over with a group of young eunuchs, and greeted their masters with a smile.

The children often ate the meals he cooked, but this was the first time they saw this eunuch.

Unlike the usual chubby eunuchs who were in charge of cooking, Eunuch Ma was quite thin, but he looked very dark, as if he had just rolled in coal. His face was also quite long, like a horse's face. He had a smiling face and looked quite kind.

"Let's start a fire over there. Be careful with sparks and don't let them spread out." Changning pointed to an open space not far away.

Eunuch Ma shouted "Eh!" and immediately started working with his apprentices. With quick hands and feet, they quickly built a fire, took out a lot of skewers of meat and started roasting them.

Hong Zhao had been itching to try it out, rubbing his hands together, eager to try: "Give me some roasted bread."

How could Eunuch Ma dare to let the young master play with fire? He still watched Changning's expression and saw that Lady Fu Jin nodded, then he took out a handful of red willow meat skewers made from a three-month-old lamb.

Hong Zhao took it and started grilling it just like the real person.

Hong Chen on the side was particularly excited and clapped his hands: "Fourth brother is so awesome! Fourth brother can grill skewers!"

Hong Zhao was even more excited by his brother's compliments, and rolled up his sleeves: "Hong Chen, which one do you want to eat? I'll grill them for you!"

Hongmin was also watching from the side, but he was very safety-conscious and did not move forward. He was also a little disgusted by the smoke, so he ran back to stay with his mother.

Hutuli and Yierha sat on one side and watched their younger brothers play, while the girls drank tea, chatted and gossiped.

"Mother, I heard that there are many fortune tellers in the capital now, and they are said to be very accurate. The third princess also wanted to ask me to go with her." Hutuli said casually while peeling grapes.

Chang Ning was a little stunned: "Fortune teller?"

"Yes, it is said that he is very effective in fortune-telling for many people. It is said that he is a master who came down from Mount Jiuhua and would not leave the mountain easily!"
