Chapter 405 Princess Ning'an
"Mother, that's enough, there's no more room in the bowl."
Qi Rui was holding a pointed bowl of rice with meat piled on top, and it was trembling and about to fall.
The general's wife put down her chopsticks only after she realized that she really couldn't eat any more.
Qi Rui and Qi Xu were busy eating. If they didn't eat this dish, they would really fall down.
The food at home is really delicious. It’s the flavor I’ve been eating since I was a child, and when I taste it carefully, I can still feel a hint of nostalgia.
Plus with all the running around over the past month, everything I eat tastes delicious now.
The old lady looked at her adorable grandchildren with loving care. Although her hair was as white as frost, the smile on her face was very bright.
The family is reunited. After so many years, the family is finally reunited!
Seeing her grandson eating so happily, she had a great appetite today and ate half a bowl of rice more.
The nanny next to her was very happy, "Look at our old lady eating a whole bowl of rice. It can be seen that she is really happy today."
"Hahaha~"
"Grandma, I miss you so much. I plan to go to your yard and ask for two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake later."
Qi Xu raised his face from the bowl and looked at the old lady with a smile.
"Okay, grandma misses you too. We have whatever cakes you want. You can eat as much as you want, but you have to leave some space in your stomach."
"Grandma, don't worry. I have a big appetite and can eat a lot in one meal."
Qi Xu patted his stomach. His appetite had increased a lot over the past year.
Qi Rui looked at his younger brother, with a smile on his face that only the two of them could understand.
"That's good, that's good. Being able to eat is a blessing. When you're away from home, your family is most worried that you won't have enough to eat and enough clothes to wear. As long as you're healthy, we won't lose sleep at home."
"Grandma, I am sorry to have made you worried."
Qi Rui and Qi Xu lifted their robes and kowtowed to the old lady.
"Look at this silly kid, hurry up, you're eating your meal, why did you kneel down like that?"
Qi Xu has only been away from home for a year, but Qi Rui has been away for three years. It's time for him to kowtow to his grandmother.
"Grandma, I haven't been by your side for a long time. It's my duty to kowtow to you. After I finish the rest of the things, I will spend more time with you."
"Okay, okay, the kids have really grown up. Seeing you become so sensible, I am extremely satisfied."
A few drops of bitterness squeezed out of the old lady's eyes and she wiped them quickly with a handkerchief.
The family had a reunion meal. After the dishes were cleared, the family sat together and talked about family matters, the war, the future, the past and the present, and the memories of their ancestors...
The next morning, a rare guest came to General Qi's mansion.
"Second cousin, second cousin~" I heard the delicate voice before I saw the person.
It turned out that Princess Ning'an had come.
Qi Rui was still asleep, so Rufeng quickly led the princess to the side room to wait.
"Princess, why are you here so early? No one in the general's mansion has gotten up yet. The master is washing up now after hearing that you are here."
Rufeng poured tea for the princess and said that Qi Rui was getting up and asked her to wait a moment.
"Okay, I knew yesterday that my second cousin was back. If it wasn't for the fact that it was getting late, I would have come to see him a long time ago. Alas, you disturbed me and I couldn't sleep well the whole night. I rushed here as soon as the sun rose."
Princess Ning'an had already made arrangements with the eunuch beside her father to send someone to notify her as soon as her second cousin returned.
But her father-in-law said that as soon as her second cousin came back, he was taken to the imperial study to discuss something, and even if she was called, she might not be able to speak.
So he didn't call her, for fear that she would wait in vain and make the emperor feel distressed. She still got the news from her mother.
I just came here early in the morning.
She and her second cousin hadn't seen each other for a long, long time. How could those letters alone relieve her homesickness?
"By the way, I brought some hazelnut cakes from the palace. They are my cousin's favorite. Please pass the breakfast over here and we can eat together later."
"it is good."
Rufeng received the order and went to do it immediately.
He knew in his heart that Princess Ning'an was interested in his master, and that she was of royal blood, of noble status, and was cute and well-behaved, making her a good match for his master.
He walked towards the kitchen while thinking about this, but he felt like he was betraying Miss Mingshu.
Miss Mingshu is not bad either, she is pretty, has big eyes, and can cook well...
Mother!
When he thought of this, he missed the food in Lianglin Village again.
I haven't eaten it for more than a month and I'm missing him so much.
One of the princess and Miss Mingshu must be his mistress, but he can't waver like this. What's the difference between this and a traitor? !
Rufeng is a family-born child, and his mother is the manager of the kitchen in the general's mansion.
When I saw my son coming, I knew that the second young master was serving breakfast.
"Son, come here quickly. Here are some eggs I cooked for you. Eat two to fill your stomach first."
Rufeng asked his mother questions while eating eggs.
"Mother, do you think I should marry a pretty wife or one who can cook?"
"Of course I'll choose someone who can cook. What's the point of just looking good? Can it fill your stomach?"
After listening to this, Rufeng nodded thoughtfully. What his mother said made sense.
"Should I marry someone of high status or someone of ordinary status?"
"Of course I'd choose someone with a noble status. Do I have to think about that? But we have to analyze each case individually and we can't generalize."
When Rufeng's mother heard her son ask this, she thought her son had a girl he liked.
"Son, tell me, are you attracted to a girl? You can't be two-timing. If you dare to do such a thing, your father and mother will not be able to go out to see people."
"Mother, don't worry. I don't have any crush on any girl. Even the mosquito that bites me is a male."
When Rufeng's mother heard her son say this, she felt relieved.
But Rufeng was conflicted again. So, was he on the side of the princess or Miss Mingshu? !
Serving his master's breakfast, his mind finally came into focus.
He will stand for whichever one the master likes!
And his heart was clearly leaning towards Miss Mingshu.
Although the princess was of noble status and beautiful appearance, he did not have much contact with her. His daily interactions with her always felt like a dream, and he felt uneasy inside and out.
As a servant, he shouldn't think so much.
Just do your job honestly.
When Rufeng brought the breakfast over, Qi Rui was already having tea with Princess Ning'an.
"Second cousin, you didn't prepare any gifts for Ning An after coming back from outside?"
Ning An held the teacup with his eyes wide open, but was too embarrassed to ask.
"I have prepared it. How could I forget this? But it was a little late when I came back from the palace yesterday, and I haven't packed up the things I brought back yet. I will give it to you after I have sorted everything out."
Rufeng arranged the breakfast one by one and also brought a bowl of bird's nest to Ning An.
"Hey, okay. I'll wait."
Qi Rui handed her chopsticks and a spoon. "But don't get your hopes up. They are just some ordinary little things that I picked up randomly on the street on the way back."
