Chapter 316 A hearty breakfast
The morning sky was like it had been gently painted with watercolors, gradually changing from deep blue to orange-yellow.
Each touch of color is a delicate brushstroke of time, depicting a tranquil and peaceful scene.
Dongfang Jin stood on the steps, stretching and facing the morning light, welcoming the arrival of a new day.
Breakfast staples include flatbread, fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, soy milk, steamed buns, and eight-treasure porridge.
Tea eggs, pickles, shredded radish (both spicy and non-spicy), and vegetarian assortment mixed by Grandma Yu and Granny Xu.
The two got along very well, as if they were kindred spirits who had known each other for a long time, and their laughter never stopped.
Gu Yumei then stir-fried a large bowl of green pepper and potato shreds and a bowl of braised meat for Long Yi and the others.
Let their guards eat it wrapped in a pancake.
The Dragon Guards and Shadow Guards stood in neat rows, and Gu Yumei, not minding the fatigue, rolled them up one by one.
Dongfang Jin and her mother came to the kitchen and saw this scene.
Everyone bowed to them, though some of the Dragon Guards and Shadow Guards were still a little reserved.
"Is that enough?" Dongfang Jin asked Gu Yumei.
Gu Yumei said with a smile, "Don't worry, we'll do a lot."
Dongfang Yuan looked at the unfortunate woman and said gently, "You've had a hard time."
Gu Yumei was somewhat flattered: "It's no trouble at all. Xiao Jin, quickly take your mother inside, your father and the others have arrived."
Dongfang Jin then realized that she and her mother had arrived the latest.
Upon entering the restaurant, they heard Emperor Cang Lingyuan shouting, "This is delicious! That is delicious too!"
Seeing Dongfang Jin walk into the restaurant, he eagerly pointed to the food on the table: "Give me all of these, and write down the recipes for me."
And these wild vegetable dumplings, give them all to me, and write them down for me.
Dongfang Jin rubbed his forehead. He wanted to say the word "lonely," but he couldn't say it openly here, which made him feel a little amused.
"it is good!"
The Empress seemed to particularly like the shepherd's purse filling in the buns: "Xiao Jin, what kind of dish is this? This is the first time my cousin-in-law has ever tried it."
Ruyi, [Since the Empress ate shepherd's purse, don't give her tofu pudding or soy milk.]
Dongfang Jin didn't ask; she knew that this guy had already understood the "Shennong's Materia Medica and Food Taboos".
He walked to the empty seat next to the Queen, sat down, and took away all the tofu pudding and soy milk in front of him.
Bring over the eight-treasure porridge and soup dumplings. For the sake of this cousin-in-law, she can't eat tofu pudding or soy milk.
When eating with a pregnant woman, you have to eat the same food as her. If you eat something different, she will crave it.
This is her experience, and it's the same for both her eldest sister and sister-in-law.
Dongfang Jin picked up a shepherd's purse filling bun: "These wild vegetable buns must have been eaten by Sister Yumei and the others themselves."
Cang Lingyuan was somewhat dissatisfied: "I only wanted it because I smelled the fragrance."
His expression and tone were saying, "With such good food, why aren't you serving it to him?"
Dongfang Jin said with a grin, "This is a wild vegetable; it can be found everywhere in the fields and at the foot of the mountains."
Sister Yumei probably thinks you're guests and shouldn't be given food.
This emperor is really calculating.
After finishing a steamed bun, Cang Nanxi said, "This is really delicious, so fragrant."
"You've never made wild vegetables taste this good before. Make a copy of the recipe for your father too."
He also saw shepherd's purse, growing in large patches in the mountain valleys of Suzhou.
Granny Yu said that shepherd's purse can also be mixed with cornmeal and steamed.
Ruyi (a traditional Chinese medicine), [Shepherd's purse is also a medicinal herb, with properties that harmonize the spleen, promote diuresis, stop bleeding, and improve eyesight. It treats dysentery, edema, gonorrhea, chyluria, hematemesis, hematochezia, metrorrhagia, menorrhagia, and red and painful eyes.]
Dongfang Jin...
I really miss those subtitles...
After the meal, Master Jingkong approached Dongfang Jin and asked to visit the place where his master practiced.
Dongfang Jin then realized that the monk who raised Dahei and Dabai was actually Master Jingkong's master.
He said that among the books that the emperor had given to Master Jingkong were letters written to him by his master.
He said that if he ever wanted to go to the place where he practiced, he should find the person who gave him the book.
Dongfang Jin also knew that there were probably things she didn't know about, so since he wanted to go, she would take him.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor also wanted to go and see.
Dongfang Jin was speechless this time. Why was this emperor everywhere? "This trip is a bit far."
Cang Lingyuan pouted: "Don't you have the Ruyi Blanket? Let's ride it."
This kid's antics are just too much!
Dongfang Jin...
He exhaled a deep breath; what kind of expression is that?
This is hardly the behavior of a monarch; it's broad daylight.
She knew that the emperor still coveted her lucky blanket.
But I still asked Ruyi, "Ruyi, is it okay?"
Yes, as long as you avoid crowded places.
Dongfang Jin thought for a moment. That place was inside Lingwu Mountain, and there was no one there at all. That was fine.
Cang Lingyuan thought she was unwilling: "I just want to experience what it feels like to sit up there during the day."
Upon hearing this, and seeing the emperor's expectant eyes, Dongfang Jin knew she couldn't abandon her parents.
However, the Empress, being pregnant, would certainly have to be brought along as well.
But we couldn't set off from the yard, as everyone was working in the surrounding fields, so we had to take them to the valley in the western mountains.
Sigh, now I have no choice but to be exposed even if I don't want to.
After the emperor selected the people to accompany them on their outing, Dongfang Jin discussed with Ruyi the number of times they would use the Ruyi Blanket.
Not only is it quite far, but there's also a pregnant woman with us, so we can't go without sitting on the comfy carpet.
When the group arrived at Xishan Hot Spring, Dongfang Jin gestured to Long Yi and the others, telling them to wait there.
Long Yi looked at Dongfang Jin with a disappointed expression and asked longingly, "Sister Jin, can't you really take us with you?"
Dongfang Jin shook his head: "The Ruyi Carpet can only carry six people."
Master Jingkong, the emperor and his wife, her parents, and her.
This is the standard number of people she set; there can't be more.
Long Yi looked disappointed and frustrated. He really wanted to sit on the Ruyi Carpet and experience the feeling of flying in the sky like an eagle, just like Long Er had said.
When Dongfang Jin took out the Ruyi Blanket, he gestured for them all to go up.
Dongfang Yuan looked at the thin Ruyi Blanket and hesitated.
"Little Jin'er, can this really hold us back?"
Cang Nanxi smiled as his wife asked this silly question with a puzzled look: "Yuan'er and I already rode it once before."
Master Jingkong also said cheerfully, "It's very stable up there, there's absolutely nothing to be afraid of."
Seeing this, Dongfang Jin had no choice but to go up himself and stand on it, letting Ruyi control the Ruyi Carpet to demonstrate it to them.
Then, stopping at a height of less than a meter, she waved to Dongfang Yuan: "Mother, come up."
Dongfang Yuan was clearly still somewhat afraid.
Dongfang Jin then had the Ruyi Carpet fly back and forth in the valley for a while.
Seeing her standing on the Ruyi Carpet, flying up and down without any danger, the group was no longer afraid.
Helian Jingyun stared at the Ruyi Blanket, itching to play with it too.
Seeing the Empress's eager expression, Cang Lingyuan shook his head helplessly: "Xiao Jin, your sister-in-law is pregnant, she...?" Can she really get on the Ruyi Carpet?
Dongfang Jin stopped, and this time the Ruyi Carpet was lowered a little more. He waved his hand and said, "No problem. My sister-in-law is in good health now and there won't be any mishaps."
He thought to himself, "This isn't like riding a tractor, which is very bumpy."
As long as you're not afraid of heights, you'll feel very stable sitting up there.
……
The group sat on the path leading to the valley on a ruyi carpet, looking down at the vast expanse of land and sky, and were all deeply moved.
Standing on the edge of the Ruyi Carpet, Dongfang Jin felt as if she were standing on the top of the sky, with an endless sea of clouds churning beneath her feet and a magnificent mountain landscape unfolding before her eyes.
This was her first time riding the Ruyi Carpet to that valley, and she hadn't expected it to be so far.
The rolling mountains below, one after another, resembled the spine of the earth, standing firmly between heaven and earth, which made the blood in her body boil.
[The Ruyi (a traditional Chinese ornament symbolizing good fortune) is so magnificent! So beautiful!]
