Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

Chapter 490 Thank you for your appreciation, Princess. I am truly flattered.

Not long after, the newly arrived Aunt Wang was seen walking with light and slightly cautious steps, carefully holding a steaming casserole with both hands, which was filled with shrimp porridge that she had carefully cooked for a long time, and slowly followed Yu Si into the yard.

Aunt Wang's wrinkled face was filled with a mixture of anxiety and eager anticipation.

Yu Si walked quickly to the stone table and took the casserole steadily from Aunt Wang's trembling hands. Then he picked up a porcelain bowl skillfully and lightly, scooped a bowl full of fragrant shrimp porridge from the pot, and handed it to Jun Feimo with a smile.

Jun Feimo stretched out his slender fingers and gently took the bowl of porridge that was still steaming. Then he turned slightly and cast a tender and affectionate gaze at the beautiful woman beside him - Chu Zixi.

Then, he said in an extremely soft and gentle voice: "Xi'er, come and taste this porridge to see if it suits your taste."

Chu Zixi looked up at the sound, met Jun Feimo's affectionate eyes, smiled slightly, and reached out to take the bowl of shrimp porridge with an alluring aroma. She first stirred it gently with a spoon, then carefully scooped a small spoonful of porridge into her mouth, chewing and savoring it slowly.

When the delicious shrimp and the soft and delicate rice porridge slide into the throat together, an indescribable wonderful taste instantly blooms on the tip of the tongue.

The tender and chewy shrimp and the soft, glutinous and sweet rice porridge blend perfectly together, setting off each other and leaving a lasting aftertaste.

Chu Zixi tasted the delicious porridge, and from time to time she looked up at Jun Feimo who was concerned about her, her eyes full of happiness and satisfaction. Unconsciously, she had eaten half a bowl of porridge, but at this moment, she suddenly put down the spoon in her hand and gently shook her palm to indicate that she was full.

Jun Feimo, who had been closely watching Chu Zixi's every move, felt his heart tighten when he saw her suddenly stop eating.

His eyes immediately became tense and focused, staring at Chu Zixi closely, fearing that she would feel unwell or have other problems because of this bowl of porridge.

Time passed by, and the whole yard fell into a brief silence. Jun Feimo stared at Chu Zixi for a long time, until he confirmed that she had no abnormal reaction except that she stopped eating, and she didn't even spit out a mouthful of porridge. His heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally fell to the ground like a stone.

Then he let out a long sigh, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.

At this moment, Chu Zixi's lively and bright eyes slowly shifted to Aunt Wang, who was lowering her head and looking a little uneasy.

There was a hint of curiosity in Chu Zixi's eyes, as if she wanted to see through Aunt Wang's inner secrets through her appearance; at the same time, there was a hint of exploration hidden in her eyes, as if she was full of doubts and confusion about what Aunt Wang had done.

"Auntie Wang, are there any unique ingredients added to the porridge you cook?" Chu Zixi asked softly, her tone gentle but with a hint of unquestionable tone.

Hearing this, Aunt Wang, who was already a little nervous, trembled violently as if she was frightened.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally mustered up the courage to raise her head and timidly looked at Chu Zixi. However, at this moment, Aunt Wang's eyes were full of fear and uneasiness, as if she had done something wrong and was about to face punishment.

"Princess...Princess, I added a kind of wild vegetable to the porridge." Aunt Wang replied stutteringly, her voice trembling slightly, "I found it in the mountains. At that time, there was no food to fill the family, and several of my children were crying with hunger, and their stomachs were rumbling non-stop.

There was no other choice, so the woman had to venture into the mountains to look for wild vegetables, hoping to get something to fill the children's stomachs.

But who knew that it was the season of heavy snow, and the mountains were covered with thick snow, covering all the wild vegetables, and there was not much to eat! "At this point, Aunt Wang couldn't help but sigh deeply, with a look of helplessness and bitterness on her face.

“But perhaps God was blessing us, and I accidentally discovered this wild vegetable in a very remote corner.

Although it didn't look very eye-catching, it still looked fresh. So the woman hurriedly picked it and took it home, thinking that at least there was something to fill the children's stomachs for a while.

In this way, relying on these wild vegetables, our family survived that cold and long winter. Aunt Wang continued to talk about those difficult days, her eyes gradually moistening.

"Later, my sister-in-law became pregnant and had severe morning sickness, and could hardly eat anything. Seeing her getting thinner and thinner, I was extremely worried.

It happened that my sister-in-law came to visit me that day, and my family couldn't afford any other decent food to treat her, so I tried to serve her a bowl of porridge made with wild vegetables.

Unexpectedly, after my sister-in-law drank this bowl of porridge, her morning sickness symptoms were miraculously relieved. Since then, my sister-in-law would come to ask for a bowl of this porridge from time to time. "After saying this, Aunt Wang let out a long sigh of relief, as if a big stone in her heart had finally fallen to the ground.

Later, when life got better, women would occasionally go up the mountain to pick this wild vegetable and bring it home. After drying it, they would grind it into powder and add it to the porridge, which would give it a light fragrance and make the porridge more delicious..."

After hearing this, Chu Zixi couldn't help but slightly raise her willow-like eyebrows, and a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She opened her red lips and said in a tender voice, "Oh? There is actually such a wild vegetable. I have never heard of it before. It seems that I am really ignorant! However, to be honest, this bowl of wild vegetable porridge is indeed delicious and unforgettable! Aunt Wang, your cooking skills are really superb and wonderful. I will reward you handsomely!"

When Aunt Wang saw Chu Zixi praising her so much and heard that she was going to receive a reward, she hurriedly knelt on her knees and stretched out her hands in fear and trepidation to receive the reward.

Yu Si took out a hundred taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang's eyes were filled with gratitude and joy that could not be concealed. She said in a trembling voice, "Thank you for your appreciation, Princess. I am really flattered. In the future, I will definitely work extra hard to prepare meals for you, Princess, and will never slack off in the slightest."

Jun Feimo also said calmly, "Yu Si, take Aunt Wang downstairs to have a good rest. From now on, Aunt Wang will be responsible for the princess's meals."

Upon hearing this, Yu Si responded, "Yes, I obey your command." Just like that, Aunt Wang followed Yu Si down happily.
