Every time I wear it quickly, there are always big guys giving it away.

After chatting with Zhou for a while, Xi Changkong finally noticed the prince and his wife sitting next to him. He nodded slightly, smiling: "Big brother——"

Turning to look at the Crown Prince's wife, he smiled slightly and politely retracted his gaze, "Sister-in-law."

The prince nodded at them with a warm smile: "Third brother, third brother's wife——"

The Crown Prince's Consort is beautiful, quiet and elegant, with a slight smile, she has the bearing of a mistress of the house. Princess Mingyue, on the other hand, does not have such a gentle and generous feeling.

Princess Mingyue has a fairy-like appearance, ethereal and otherworldly beauty, and a graceful and elegant demeanor that is pure and elegant without being coquettish. She is as delicate as colorful clouds and fragile glass, and there is always a sense of unreality about her.

When the two daughters-in-law sat opposite each other, the difference became even more obvious.

Zhou's headache became even worse, so she asked the nanny beside her to bring dinner over. Because there were two more people, the dinner was richer and the tastes of the two daughters-in-law were taken into consideration.

Madam Zhou did everything perfectly without any mistakes.

The Crown Prince's Consort and Zhou were the first to put down their chopsticks but not eat. Chen Jia discovered that they only used three small chopsticks for each dish, and never more than that. Moreover, they had indifferent expressions while eating each dish, and it was impossible to tell which dish they liked.

Ruyi, who served her food, only took each dish three times, and when the number was reached, she would switch to another dish. Since they were all her favorites and her appetite was average, she did not notice this problem until she was full.

The palace is already a place with many rules, but I didn’t expect that the rules of the aristocratic families are even more numerous and more extravagant and sophisticated than those in the palace.

However, this cherry meat is really delicious!

It is sweet but not greasy, melts in your mouth, has bright colors and tastes great!

Chen Jia took a quick glance and then looked away, wondering if the small kitchen could make this dish.

The small kitchen in Qingfeng Courtyard has always existed. There are not many cooks, and they were only occasionally responsible for preparing soup and midnight snacks for the Third Young Master. They have always been idle and have nothing to do.

The restaurant has only recently started cooking, and its cooking skills are certainly not comparable to those of the experienced chefs in the main courtyard.

Chen Jia tasted both sides and felt regretful.

If you want to taste such delicious food in your own yard, it’s probably impossible!

"This cherry meat tastes great, which shows the care that the chefs put into it."

Xi Changkong rolled up his sleeves, picked up the jade chopsticks, picked up a piece of cherry meat, and placed it in the bowl of the person next to him naturally.

Otherwise, she would have to stare at him like that, which would be so unbearable!

Zhou's expression was unremarkable: "What did your mother teach you? I'm just a skilled cook. Is it worth it for you to forget all the rules of the past?"

When he said the last sentence, he glanced at Chen Jia who was eating meat with her head down, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

"Mother, you are joking. When I am with you, I will act spontaneously and naturally. How can I be bound by rules?" Xi Changkong said in a relaxed tone, "Mother, you will not mind, right?"

Asking questions knowingly!

She really minds having such a good-looking son who always causes trouble for her!

But Zhou still had to maintain her smile, pretending that she really didn't mind. She waved her hand: "I'll arrange for someone to go over there later, so you don't have to worry about it—"

The chefs in the main courtyard all have their own specialties. This chef who specializes in delicate sweet dishes is not valued by Zhou, as she prefers salty and spicy flavors.

A cook who is not valued is given the money.

If we talk about who is the most favored by Zhou, it must be the only son, even the daughter Xi Changan cannot compare to him.

"Thank you, mother—"

Xi Changkong agreed immediately and picked up some dishes for his wife several times. Not only the cherry meat, but also other dishes, as long as he thought she liked them, he picked them for her.

So much so that after eating for a while, Chen Jia had to quietly pull her husband's clothes and signal with her eyes: Enough, really enough!

Is this too much to eat?

Xi Changkong decided to stop when he saw that things were going well, and put down his jade chopsticks.

Chen Jia felt relieved and put down the jade chopsticks.

For a person who is full, no matter how delicious the food is, it is a burden!

"It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest." Zhou asked the children to leave.

The four of them said in unison: "Yes, mother."

The few people who went out together did not separate until they reached their respective forks in the road.

Before they parted, the prince said earnestly: "Third brother is so lucky. Now that you have a family, you should not break the rules. Mother loves you, so please don't ruin the atmosphere of the mansion and make others laugh at you..."

Actually, I just can't stand it.

Xi Changkong understood.

Without the other people around, he returned to his usual cold and distant self, without any of the politeness he had just shown: "Brother, you are joking. I know my limits. Don't take it to heart."

Zhou didn't mind this matter, and neither did her son. Only the prince couldn't stand it.

He almost said directly: What kind of concern do you have?

The prince smiled unchanged, looking like a good old man who was used to it: "Third brother is right, it seems that I was worrying too much -"

After all, he is the prince, and it is not the third brother's turn to support the family!

When he takes over the palace in the future, the first thing he will do is to kick out this annoying brother, so as not to embarrass the palace. He really has no rules at all!

"really."

Xi Changkong really didn't care about this fake brotherhood at all, which made the prince frown. However, he took his wife's hand and turned back slowly.

The prince suffered a heart attack and the princess had a complicated look in her eyes.

This Prince Xi’s Mansion is indeed filled with hidden dangers!

I just saw the first signs today.

"You should have a good rest. I won't come over tonight." The Crown Prince and his wife returned to the courtyard, stayed for less than a moment, and then left in a hurry.

I don't know what happened and he really didn't come at night.

The Crown Princess had gone through the initial period of her honeymoon, and now faced her first night sleeping alone after marriage. Even though her mother had given her all her calculations and housekeeping skills, she still didn't know what to do.

I can only hide in the quilt, biting my lips, enduring the sadness of separation from my loved ones, the fear of being in a foreign land, and the helplessness that may always be the same in the future.

She seemed to have anticipated this possible outcome, yet she also felt that this shouldn't be the case!

On the other side, Xi Changkong held his wife's soft and tender hand, reluctant to let go, and said: "It's dark at night, Madam, please be careful on your steps."

Yun Zheng and Ruyi, who were holding lanterns to light the way in front, looked at each other helplessly. It was not yet completely dark, and two lanterns were enough to illuminate the road under their feet!

Sir, please don't talk nonsense!

"it is good--"

Chen Jia covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled softly. Her eyes were like the galaxy of autumn water, incredibly bright, filled with starry sky and also filled with him.

"cough--"

Xi Changkong coughed lightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, but he never let go of her hand. He held her hand and slowly walked back to the yard.

The two of them still fell asleep in each other's arms and had a good night's sleep.
