The maid quickly brought in the food, which consisted of three dishes and a soup.
The Chinese cabbage and meatball soup was light and refreshing. Jiang Changning took a sip and heard a smacking sound. She looked up and saw her baby son looking at her eagerly.
"Look at how greedy you are. Didn't you have enough for dinner?" Jiang Changning asked.
"Look at his bulging belly and you can tell how much he has eaten. This brat must have eaten too much, so he looks so greedy." Prince Jin mocked his own son.
"Nonsense, my son is not like that." Jiang Changning fed Xiao Ming'er a small spoonful of meatball soup, "Take him out and let him walk in the corridor to digest the food."
The nanny picked up Xiao Ming'er and wanted to take him out.
Xiao Ming was not happy. He struggled in his nurse's arms and wanted to throw himself into Jiang Changning's arms, "Mother, mother, mother, eat eat eat."
"You little rascal, stop disturbing your mother while she's eating. Get out now." Prince Jin said with a stern face.
Xiao Ming'er lay on his nanny's shoulder, not saying a word, but pursed his lips tightly, with a look of grievance on his face.
Jiang Changning smiled, "My good boy really listens to his father."
"If you don't obey, I'll beat you."
"Did father always beat you when he was alive?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.
King Jin clenched his right fist, put it to his lips, and coughed softly, "Have your meal soon."
Jiang Changning smiled, it seemed that this guy had also been beaten when he was a child.
A childhood without being beaten is incomplete.
After the meal, Jiang Changning held a cup of red dates and wolfberry tea and told Prince Jin what happened in the Song family.
When King Jin heard Song Yirou say that the baby in her belly was his, he was so angry that he crushed the cup in his hand.
Jiang Changning was startled by him and hurried over to take away the broken porcelain pieces. Seeing that his hand was not injured, he said angrily, "It's not the first time she has been shameless. Is there any need to be angry?"
"I didn't expect her to be so shameless." Prince Jin frowned.
"She's not the only shameless person. My cousin Liu Cun Tang must have benefited from this as well." Jiang Changning told Liu Cun Tang what he had said.
"Although one-sided statements are not credible, there is no need for him to lie, and Xin Wuhou should verify the facts."
"This matter was handled very appropriately." King Jin praised with a smile.
"Of course I have to." Jiang Changning was beaming with joy and looked very proud.
Seeing her proud look, the King of Jin had an idea. He stretched out his arms and embraced her. "To express my gratitude, I decided to marry you."
Jiang Changning looked up at him and asked, "Is it me who is thanking you, or you who is thanking me?"
"Husband and wife are one, inseparable, and it's okay for anyone to thank anyone."
"Your Majesty, I find that you are getting better and better at making up stories."
"How can this be nonsense? It is natural for husband and wife to respect each other."
"It's still early, I don't want to go to bed yet, Your Majesty, please let go of my hand, I have to go see my son."
"You promised to come back to stay with me after seeing my son, otherwise I won't let you go."
Jiang Changning reached out and touched his face, "Is he really my prince?"
Prince Jin grabbed her hand, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
"What's the prince's zodiac sign? Why does he bite people?" Jiang Changning pulled his hand out and asked angrily.
"Why are you still cursing in a roundabout way?"
"Your Highness, do you want me to scold you directly?" Jiang Changning asked with a sly smile.
King Jin leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Go to the bed and curse as you like.
"I'm too lazy to scold you. I'm going to see my son." Jiang Changning pushed him away and walked quickly to the door.
That night, Jiang Changning really wanted to curse the man, but he didn't have the strength. He was like a fish that had been out of water for too long, rolling his eyes and gasping for breath.
Jiang Changning asked Xiaochun to take care of the Song family's affairs. She and Yan Yinyao were busy making mooncakes with the three little ones.
The moon is full on August 15th, and the Mid-Autumn mooncakes are fragrant and sweet.
Under Madam Cui's arrangement, Jiang Changning and Yan Yinyao kneaded the dough one and chopped the stuffing the other.
Hearing that Jiang Changning wanted to eat fresh meat mooncakes, Yan Yinyao's eyes widened in shock, "Cousin, are you sure you want to make fresh meat mooncakes?"
"I am sure."
"During the Dragon Boat Festival, my aunt asked me to put salted egg yolks and bacon in the rice dumplings, which made them delicious. The fresh meat mooncakes must be delicious too." Princess Kang Ren trusted her aunt very much.
"Well, I'm looking forward to this fresh meat mooncake." Yan Yinyao said.
Jiang Changning said seriously: "Believe me, fresh meat mooncakes are definitely not inferior to five-nut mooncakes."
Yan Yinyao smiled, "When it comes to food, my cousin's wife has never been wrong. I believe you."
Jiang Changning glanced at her, "Miss Yan, I feel like there's something else behind your words."
"Princess Jin, you misunderstood. That's absolutely not the case." Yan Yinyao said seriously.
"I am a magnanimous person and I won't bother with your little cousin."
"Then I would like to thank my cousin."
The aunt and sister-in-law were chatting and laughing, but their hands never stopped.
Jiang Changning pulled two balls of dough for Zeng Mi and Xiao Ming'er to play with, while Princess Kang Ren and the maids were peeling walnuts.
In addition to making fresh meat mooncakes, we also make the most classic five-nut mooncakes, as well as lotus seed paste mooncakes and red bean paste mooncakes.
Concentrating on work, Jiang Changning was very bored. He smiled and said, "Kang Ren, recite a poem about the Mid-Autumn Festival for me to hear."
"The round moon is in the cold sky, and everyone says that it is the same all over the world. But how do you know that there is no rain and wind a thousand miles away?" Princess Kangren recited a poem that Jiang Changning was not familiar with at all.
Yan Yinyao was itching to write a ballad. "I also remembered a poem. I chanted the autumn scenery leisurely, and everything seemed to be in vain. If there was no moon tonight, the autumn of the year would have passed in vain."
It was still a poem that Jiang Changning was not familiar with. She smiled and said, "You two have both recited poems. If I don't, I will be out of place. I will recite one too. Let me think about it."
"When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the blue sky. May we live long, so that we can enjoy the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands miles apart." This is the poem that Jiang Changning remembers best, so he recited it here to make up the number.
"I still remember, I still remember." Princess Kang Ren chanted another poem, "A vast expanse of autumn green, the moonlight just rising over the water. There is no need to get drunk with sorrow to get rid of it, it is better to watch the clear light till late at night."
Not wanting to be outdone, Yan Yinyao also chanted a poem: "Every year when autumn is halfway through, everyone is waiting for the bright moon, but everyone is worried about the rain, and they are looking forward to the rising clouds at dusk."
Jiang Changning didn't want to get involved. She knew a lot of poems, but she couldn't pick out a Mid-Autumn Festival poem at the moment. "Madam Cui, come and take a look. Is the dough ready?"
Madam Cui came over and pinched a little dough. "It's done. Put it aside. You can make mooncakes in half an hour."
"We still have to wait half an hour, cousin. How about I chop the meat?" Jiang Changning volunteered.
"No need, I can chop it. You go and play with Mi'er and Xiao Ming'er." Yan Yinyao held the machete in his hand and chopped the meat vigorously.
Jiang Changning went to the two little guys and asked, "What are you two doing?"
"Pinch the little man." This is Zeng Mi.
"Make pancakes." This is Xiao Ming'er.
Jiang Changning looked at the small dough figurines made by Zeng Mi. They had heads and limbs and looked lifelike. But the pancakes made by Xiao Ming were not only strange in shape, but why were they black
