Li Yu did what he said, no extra preparation was needed, he just rolled his sleeves and went on, and he just took a cucumber.
He is already in the second trimester of pregnancy. Compared with the sleepiness he had just conceived, he now feels as strong as a cow, not to mention cucumbers and elephants.
Li Yu still asked Aunt Xu to help him. Aunt Xu had become numb to the Crown Princess's cooking skills, and quickly prepared everything she needed in advance.
Pacing is a lot of effort. Aunt Xu thought that she couldn't let the pregnant master do it, so she was about to bring her over. Who knew that Li Yu had already swung the back of her knife and slapped it neatly.
When the knife fell, the cucumber was broken into several pieces. Aunt Xu had no choice but to fight for Li Yu seriously.
"Hey, what is this?"
Li Yu found an inconspicuous little jar in a corner beside the stove, a bit like a sugar jar and a salt jar.
Aunt Xu took a look at it and smiled: "Master, this is a pepper that only exists in the south. It doesn't produce much in a year. At this point, it is worth more than gold."
Li Yu: "..."
Li Yu almost thought he heard it wrong, isn't it pepper
Pepper was worthless in his original world.
But he knows that this is ancient times, and ancient seasonings are expensive. Maybe pepper is more expensive than gold
And pepper, which is more expensive than gold, was thrown directly into a small jar. Isn't this too casual
The prince really refreshed his understanding of Hao again and again.
… What does ancient pepper taste like
Li Yu sniffed the small jar curiously, and sure enough, the taste has not changed for thousands of years.
Li Yu accidentally shook his hands when he smelled it, and a lot of pepper fell on the cucumber.
Li Yu: "..."
This is pepper more expensive than gold!
Pepper can't be left alone to fight!
Li Yu's heart fluttered, and he added a lot of other seasonings.
Ritual Lobby.
When Mu Tianchi received the news from Wang Xi's father-in-law, his originally expressionless face was stained with a little warmth.
The prince's temperament is cold, and it is rare to be so approachable. The official of the Ministry of Rites dared to say: "Is there any good thing for His Royal Highness?"
"... Hmm." The prince nodded for the first time.
It is indeed a good thing that Xiaoyu cooks for him.
But if you cook for a few kids too...
The prince paused and had to find a way to cut it off.
The prince summoned the guards, and explained in this way, the guards hurried away, and returned with two food boxes.
It turned out that the prince wanted the guard to go back to the mansion, and he thought quietly to take over the messenger who delivered the love meal.
Since Xiaoyu wanted him to treat the love meal as a surprise, he couldn't take the initiative to break it, and he couldn't let Xiaoyu find out that he had discovered it.
The guards used some means, and asked the prince to help cover, and finally got two food boxes with love meals.
The princess has explained that the red is for the children, and the other green is for the prince.
On the order of the prince, the guards first sent the two food boxes to the Ministry of Rites.
Mu Tianchi put away both food boxes, opened it and took a look, then took out another identical red food box, filled with a lot of snacks that the children liked, and ordered the guards to deliver it to the imperial study.
The children are still too young to let them figure out what a white lie is without revealing its flaws, it is better to leave it all to him.
This is not difficult for the prince at all. The prince himself does not like others to enjoy the crown prince's craftsmanship. Even children, he will be jealous.
After occupying two love meals, the prince sat down happily and took out the portion given to him in the green food box to start using.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites are all very clever. When they heard that the Crown Princess gave the Crown Prince food, they were all envious, as expected of an errand in the Ministry of Rites, and praised the prince's husband for his deep affection.
When they heard the strange smell of the cucumbers on the prince's plate, they all choked, not knowing what to say.
This time, besides pepper, there was also a lot of star anise and fennel in the cucumber. The prince did not change his face, and with the respectful eyes of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, everything was wiped out.
The princess worked hard, the prince and the children returned home, and they all agreed that the love meal was delicious.
Children shouldn't lie, is the prince's portion really delicious
Li Yu was inexplicably guilty, but the prince always smiled and looked at him several times, the tenderness in his eyes could not be concealed.
Li Yu suddenly realized that the prince must like pepper, he must remember it!
The prince is introverted and likes to be conveyed by his eyes, which is different for children.
"Dad, it's delicious!" Erbao called out very loudly, and made a wish with great joy, "Tomorrow too!"
"No problem!" Li Yu was in a hurry, Lao Gong and the child liked it, which was the biggest affirmation to him.
Although he has no koi luck bonus in cooking, he is not allowed to teach himself!
"Tianchi, can I do it for you every day?"
Li Yu is not someone who forgets Lao Gong when he has a son, he likes to take care of him together.
Prince: "..."
The prince smiled: "Okay."
Li Yu was about to praise himself a few words out loud, when suddenly his stomach moved obviously.
After being stunned for a moment, Li Yu's voice changed with joy when he realized what it was.
"Tianchi, come here, she, she moved!"
After Li Yu was pregnant with a small padded jacket in a human shape, he had been looking forward to the formal fetal movement for a long time, but even he himself did not know what the fetal movement was like. Sometimes he felt bubbles in his stomach, as if he was pregnant with a fish. , but this is only his personal feeling, the prince can't understand it.
This time is very different. It seems that someone in the stomach is pushing him hard, and his belly bulges faintly.
Li Yu was extremely sure that this was the fetal movement of the little padded jacket. He was afraid that if he moved, the little padded jacket would not move. Li Yu didn't dare to blink his eyes and called the prince.
Mu Tianchi rushed over and hugged him, and gently hugged his stomach. Li Yu was inspired, took his hand and placed it on his bulging stomach.
However, waiting left and right, there was no movement inside.
"Hey, isn't it possible this time?"
Li Yu apologized jokingly, and moved the prince's hand down, but after a while, it began to move again.
Li Yu:!
Li Yu hurriedly put the prince's hand back on, and couldn't move again.
Li Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: Little padded jacket, don't make fun of Dad, okay!
Perhaps feeling the grievances of Father Yu, Li Yu put the prince's hand on it again. This time, the little padded jacket lived up to expectations and kept moving.
"She... is really moving!"
The prince quickly felt the strength under his palm and looked at Li Yu's stomach in disbelief.
"It's our daughter!"
Li Yu nodded proudly, proud of the little padded jacket.
"Dad, Daddy!"
The big treasure, the second treasure, the three treasures and the four treasures surrounded them. The children didn't know how to express it. They hugged Li Yu's stomach together. After a while, they screamed, "It's moving! It's moving!"
Li Yu didn't shy away, telling them that it was his sister in his stomach, and the children changed their words: "My sister has moved!"
Wang Xi watched all this from a distance, and couldn't help wiping his eyes. Although he didn't quite understand why the two masters were still so excited because the princess was pregnant for the second time, even Wang Xi himself was too excited.
He didn't know that although Li Yu already had four children, it was the first time for a humanoid to give birth, so of course it would be very fresh.
Even the emperor paid special attention to Li Yu's pregnancy. From the moment he was informed of the pregnancy, he sent an imperial doctor to the Prince's Mansion to ask for a pulse every day.
The little padded jacket moved, and the prince turned up the next day, and the corners of his lips were hooked happily.
The emperor was very surprised that the day he conferred the crown prince was not so virtuous.
When asked, the prince said, "My daughter is moving, and my son is happy."
The emperor learned the truth, but his heart was a little sour.
When the four treasures were born, they were far away in the western border, and the emperor could not take care of them. He was almost a year old even when he was hugged. This time, the fifth child, the emperor thought about it, he had to express something.
However, the imperial physicians have not yet determined whether the concubine's child is a boy or a girl, so why is the prince so certain
The emperor guessed that the prince's husband already had four sons, so he might want a daughter more. I heard that the princess even had a baby name and wanted to call the child a little padded jacket.
The emperor thought about Dabao and the others, and it would be good to have more little granddaughters.
When the prince returned to the mansion, he brought a bunch of gifts from the emperor to the children. He said that he was only rewarding one or two emperors.
Ordinary people may have to think more and more when they get the emperor's reward. Li Yu's reaction will always be a beat slower when he is pregnant.
Now that the months are getting bigger and bigger, Li Yu's movements have begun to be inconvenient. When she was first pregnant, she was thinking about Li Yu, who has been slowly adjusting for nearly ten months. Recently, she is also a little anxious about production.
Princess Jin Jue often came to see him, Li Yu was worried, and the princess did not understand.
In the eyes of the princess, Li Yu is a goddess who even gave birth to quadruplets. How could he know that it was the first time for him.
However, at the request of Li Yu, the princess shared some of her own experience.
After the pregnancy, he slept soundly, but because of fear, he rarely lost sleep.
Li Yu turned over twice with difficulty, and the prince woke up.
"Little fish?" The prince rubbed the top of Li Yu's hair.
Li Yu turned his back to him and should be awake, but there was no movement. Mu Tianchi carefully turned the fish over and found that the fish was covered in tears and snot.
"What's wrong?" Mu Tianchi was anxious and hugged him quickly.
Li Yu buried his head in his arms: "I... I'm suddenly a little scared."
He was stunned, as if he had finally reached the limit, and burst into tears.
It's not that he doesn't want the child in his belly. He really felt his feelings when he put on the little padded jacket. He was the happiest when he learned that the little padded jacket moved, but the fear was real.
It's the fear of facing a danger alone that one has never experienced before.
The reason why he cried has nothing to do with weakness. Only by letting his emotions out can he get rid of his worries...
Li Yu kept cheering himself up, he would definitely be able to do it.
He wanted to push the prince away, so that the prince would not care about him. During pregnancy, he should be more sensitive. He was irritable before, but now he may be prone to cry again.
Is this going to be a deserter
A bit of work, even he himself despised himself.
"I'm fine, just a little emotionally unstable." Li Yu sobbed.
But the prince did not leave because he refused, but hugged him and stroked his back.
"Xiaoyu, cry if you want, don't force it."
Mu Tianchi comforted him softly, Li Yu turned out to be a lot calmer, but because of his words, he cried a few more times.
The prince couldn't actually help, Li Yu knew in his heart, just because he "couldn't help", he was rather "hateful".
Pregnancy is really not easy, both physically and psychologically.
Li Yu also wanted to complain, why should he be tortured alone for the children of two people.
He pouted, still sullen, and the prince opened his sleeves and stretched out his arms.
The prince whispered, "If you're not happy, just bite me."
Li Yu: "..."
Li Yuzhen looked for the place with more flesh on the prince's arm, took a big bite, and held on to it.
The prince didn't even frown. After Li Yu finished biting, the prince hugged him tightly and said distressedly, "It's a pity that it's not as much as one ten thousandth of what you suffered."
"Don't be afraid..." the prince said, "I will guard you."
Li Yu, who had shed a lot of tears, had his eyes red again.
As if the prince said so, he took such a big bite and felt much more comfortable.
"I-I'm fine - don't worry." Li Yu said in a hoarse voice.
Sometimes fear is more and more afraid, but as long as you find yourself still loved, even if you are afraid, you will still be dispelled by love.
