After traveling through time, I became a princess in ancient times
Chapter 85 A Special New Year's Gift
After this fierce battle of life and death, everyone has advanced, but they are still immersed in the soul-stirring scene.
Jiang Wan, in particular, had a lingering desire in her eyes, and she wished so much that she could also break through to the Grandmaster level.
At this time, Xia Yurou was whispering to the maid, and soon she placed the porcelain bowl of glutinous rice balls on the table as she instructed. Each ball was dotted with black sesame seeds and looked rounder and fuller, exuding an enticing sweet fragrance and the richness of glutinous rice.
Sun Erniang widened her eyes and looked at the round jade-like ball in the bowl with curiosity. She touched it lightly with her fingertips and felt a slight coolness and the unique elasticity of glutinous rice.
She carefully scooped up a glutinous rice ball with a spoon, put it into her mouth and took a bite. The soft and glutinous outer skin broke, and the sweet but not greasy black sesame filling slowly flowed out. The sweet fragrance spread from the tip of her tongue and quickly conquered her taste buds.
After eating, Er Niang, who is also good at cooking, couldn't help but praise: "This glutinous rice balls are really delicious!"
Jiang Wan took a sip of the glutinous rice dumpling, and her cold face softened a lot because of this subtle expression, just like the first melting ice and snow in spring, revealing a faint warmth.
“It’s really good, not too sweet, just the right amount.”
Although the voice was soft, it carried an unquestionable affirmation that made people around him involuntarily look at it with admiration.
Xia Yurou gently patted the back of Jiang Wan's hand and said with a smile: "Wan Wan, these glutinous rice balls are eaten on the first morning of the New Year in my hometown. They symbolize the reunion of the family and harmony. I hope that in the new year, we can be like these glutinous rice balls, sweet and happy together forever."
Xiaoxue swallowed the glutinous rice balls in her mouth with surprise on her face, her cheeks slightly puffed up, as if she didn't want to chew them too fast for fear of missing out on the wonderful taste.
"Wow, miss, this is really delicious!"
As she said that, she couldn't wait to eat another one.
Dong Yuhong sat aside, also savoring the glutinous rice balls in her hand carefully, but she was not as exaggerated as Xiaoxue and the others.
Ren Chenxi gently put down the spoon, turned to Xia Yurou and smiled with satisfaction: "This glutinous rice dumpling not only tastes great, but also has such a beautiful meaning. It is indeed extraordinary."
After saying this, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, as if he was recalling the warm times he had spent with his family in the past.
The aloof City Lord Liu nodded slightly, his eyes looking through the steaming glutinous rice balls, appearing both deep and gentle.
Er Niang licked the sesame fragrance on her lips with an unsatisfied look, looked at the princess with a happy face, and said with endless memories: "This glutinous rice ball is soft, fragrant and sticky, and it is so sweet to my heart. Princess, your cooking skills are really amazing. Not only are you a martial arts expert, but you can also cook delicious dishes."
After receiving everyone's praise, the princess blushed and said with a smile: "As long as everyone likes it."
At that moment, the house was filled not only with the sweetness of the dumplings, but also with the joy of being with family and friends.
Xia Yurou gently untied the long box covered with red silk. Inside lay a scroll quietly, with its edges inlaid with delicate silver edges, emitting a soft luster in the winter sun.
Er Niang took the scroll handed to her by the princess and slowly unfolded it. After opening it, time seemed to be frozen in this moment.
In the painting, Lengzi is serving food while holding a white towel and sweating profusely, with a simple smile on his face; while Mu Mu is busying himself in the kitchen with a kitchen knife, and his tenacity in silence is vividly shown on the paper.
Although the two have passed away, in this painting, they seem to be still living happily in the inn with Er Niang.
"Second Mother, I hope this painting can cheer you up. Mentou is the best cook I have ever seen. Lengzi doesn't know martial arts but he is very brave. They all live in our hearts."
Er Niang's eyes were red, and she hugged Xia Yurou tightly, choking with sobs, "Thank you, Princess. I like this gift very much."
Xiaoxue, who was standing aside, fixed her eyes on the scroll. The figure that was within reach seemed so far away. Her moist eyes were filled with sadness as she missed them.
Ren Chenxi stared at the scroll, with unconcealable sadness between his brows. He hated Du Wenxuan for killing innocent people, and also blamed himself for not being able to bring the murderer to justice.
He used to be very prejudiced against these people who ran shady shops, thinking that he was superior to others because he was a prince. But after getting along with them, he found that they were much more bright than those sanctimonious hypocrites, and were very righteous.
The fool who didn't know any martial arts would follow them to fight the bandits with a stick, and even Mentou would often make soup for him to nourish his body.
No matter how late he returned home after handling government affairs, he could still drink a bowl of hot and fragrant soup in his tired body.
Afterwards, Dong Yuhong followed the princess to the gate of the mansion and looked at the team in front of them with the Zhenyuan Escort Agency flagpole erected.
"Miss Yuhong, I know this road is not easy, but as your father wishes, the reputation of Zhenyuan Escort Agency cannot be ruined because of him alone. These escorts are all masters of the middle stage of dark energy, and they are personally selected by this princess. There is no falsehood. I hope they can protect this honor with you."
Dong Yuhong's eyes were slightly wet, and she bowed deeply to Xia Yurou: "Thank you, Princess. I will never forget your kindness. I will definitely lead the escort agency forever."
"Don't be so sentimental yet, there are gifts for you."
Xia Yurou led everyone to an open area not far from the City Lord's Mansion, where few people were walking around.
She pulled Ren Chenxi to a white Mercedes SUV and gently patted the hood. The crisp sound echoed in the open space, arousing everyone's curiosity.
"Everyone, this is a car. It doesn't need horses to pull it, but it can take you thousands of miles at an amazing speed."
Ren Chenxi approached with half belief and half doubt, and beneath his stern face, he was full of desire to explore new things.
As Xia Yurou gently opened the car door and slid gracefully into the driver's seat, Ren Chenxi followed closely behind her and sat in the passenger seat, his eyes flashing with curiosity and anticipation for the unknown.
He leaned forward slightly and saw Rouer lightly touch the button next to him. Suddenly, a slight buzzing sound was heard in the car, as if it was about to wake up a sleeping beast.
Xiaoxue, Dong Yuhong and Sun Erniang were all crowded in the back seat excitedly. Xiaoxue's eyes widened, and she held the armrests tightly with both hands, fearing that she would miss any details.
Dong Yuhong had a solemn look on her face, secretly trying to figure out the structure of the new thing; while Er Niang's face was full of emotion, showing both curiosity about new things and nostalgia for the past.
Xia Yurou lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle made a low and powerful roar, instantly breaking the silence of winter.
The wheels drew a graceful arc on the ground, raising a cloud of dust and making the four people in the car feel excited.
Ren Chenxi held the handrail tightly as the scenery outside the window flashed by. The sense of speed beyond common sense made his heart beat faster and an expression of shock and surprise appeared on his face.
Xiaoxue screamed with excitement and almost stuck her head out of the window to feel the lightning-fast freedom.
Dong Yuhong pressed her lips against the car window, her focused eyes seeming to be able to see the future of the escort agency through the speeding car.
The wind whistled in through the half-open car window, blowing away the loose hair on her forehead and the haze in her heart.
Er Niang looked out the window with a gentle expression, as if she saw Lengzi and Mentou leading the way in front. The familiar figures were looming in the dust, taking her back to the busy and warm days in the inn.
The car drove around the open area and then stopped steadily. Xia Yurou got out of the car, looked at Ren Chenxi proudly, and said playfully: "This is my New Year's gift to you. From now on, Your Majesty will be my personal driver."
Although he didn't know what Rou'er meant by the personal driver, he didn't ask any more questions. He followed the steps he remembered in his mind, stepped on the accelerator and started the car. The car rushed forward, scaring the three people in the car.
"Wanwan, this Saimo is a New Year's gift I customized for you. It's very simple. Come, try riding it."
Jiang Wan took the black Saimo helmet handed to her by Xia Yurou, her fingertips gently slid across the cold metal surface, and slowly put it on her head. The world seemed to be isolated outside, leaving only herself and the steel behemoth that was about to gallop.
She straddled the motorcycle in a cool manner, stepped firmly on the pedals, and according to the princess's instructions, suddenly twisted the accelerator. The motorcycle burst out with amazing power like a wild horse running away. The rear wheel spun on the ground for a moment, and then turned into a black lightning and sped across the open area...
