Chapter 50 Then what was the point of me being emperor?
On this side of the sky, people started discussing again.
"The Lu family seems quite harmonious!"
"There weren't many people."
"That's just a small group of people from the immediate branch; there are many others who aren't in the group."
"The little princess is all better! So many people love her and take care of her!"
"Our Sizi is so lucky! She has met so many people who love her!" Li Shimin was overjoyed.
"We can rest assured. Both families are doing so well." Empress Zhangsun smiled slightly.
Over here, the people of Wanchao have started eating.
Everyone ate while watching Hyundai Family.
This has become a part of everyone's life.
Little Sizi rubbed her sleepy eyes, nuzzled her head against Lu Chen's chest, her pink cheeks still bearing the red marks from being pressed against her skin, soft and adorable, like a newly hatched chick.
She looked around the unfamiliar hotel room and repeated in a childish voice, "Hotel? So many hotels?"
Lu Chen chuckled at her dazed expression and gently pinched her cheek. "Yes, it's a hotel, the place where we sleep. Grandma, Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt, Uncle, Uncle, Aunt, brothers, and sisters were all trying to see you on their phones, but our little darling was fast asleep. But it's okay."
He picked up the little girl and stood up so she could see the bright city lights outside the window. "Tomorrow we're going back to your great-aunt's house, and then you'll see them! Your third aunt said she's going to make you lots and lots of delicious food!"
"Delicious!" The word instantly brightened Xiao Sizi's big eyes, all sleepiness vanishing. She excitedly wriggled in Lu Chen's arms, "Tsk-tsk, so delicious! Auntie—Grandma!"
Mom smiled and came over, kissing Xiao Sizi's forehead: "That's right, at Auntie's house, we'll have tiger-skin peppers and fragrant eggplant fritters for lunch tomorrow! Now, let's all go to sleep well tonight and get enough rest so we can play happily and eat our fill tomorrow, okay?"
"Yes!" Little Sizi nodded vigorously, her little face full of anticipation.
"Mom, why are you sleeping? We haven't eaten dinner yet."
"Oh right, I forgot. We haven't eaten our skewers yet. Come on, Sizi, let's eat on the sofa." Mom picked up little Sizi.
Lu Chen had already laid out the delicious food.
"I say, let's have the free porridge the hotel provides tonight. We ate too much at lunch, and now there's all this snacks. Their porridge is much better than your mom's," Dad suggested.
"Look at what your dad is saying, you've been eating this for so many years even though it's not tasty." Mom said with a look of disgust.
"Alright, my dad meant that the porridge at the hotel is better than what most people make at home," Lu Chen quickly interjected.
Xiao Sizi twisted her body and sat down on the sofa. Lu Chen laid out the grilled cold noodles, braised meat, kebabs, and sugar paintings one by one.
"Wow! A little deer!" Little Sizi exclaimed, looking at the caramel-colored sugar painting.
"This is really sweet, we need to brush our teeth after eating it," Lu Chen reminded him.
"Okay~" Little Sizi snapped off a piece of the deer's ear.
"Hmm... Brother, Little Deer is naughty~" Little Si frowned, and his eyes squinted into panda eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay. Tomorrow, your brother will draw you a little deer, just like this one. I'll even color it in."
"Yes, little Sizi, your brother can draw very well," Mom praised, something she always boasted about.
"Mmm... thank you, bro..." The little guy happily started eating.
"Pot, it's so sweet..." The little guy chewed with gusto, his eyes narrowing into crescent moons.
"Ding-dong!" The waiter has brought the porridge.
Whoosh! A large tray holds four bowls of steaming porridge, with golden rice oil floating on the rim of the white porcelain bowls. Next to them are four small dishes: tender green cucumber salad, glossy pickled radish, crispy peanuts, and a dish of fermented bean curd drizzled with sesame oil.
The waiter smiled and placed the tray on the coffee table: "This is complimentary late-night porridge from the hotel. Be careful, it's hot."
Little Sizi was immediately drawn by the aroma, craning her little head to peek into the bowl: "Smells good—porridge!"
Mom scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and held it to her lips: "Here, try this porridge. It's better than what your dad says most families make!"
Dad grunted twice, then picked up his bowl and took a big sip, wincing from the heat: "Hiss—this rice is so thick!"
Lu Chen moved the sugar painting to a corner, broke apart the bamboo chopsticks, and handed them to Xiao Sizi: "Porridge tastes better with side dishes, how about trying this cucumber?"
The little guy tried to imitate him by holding the chopsticks, but clumsily poked at the fermented bean curd, resulting in red oil smearing onto his nose, making him look like a little kitten stealing food.
The three of them burst into laughter.
"I want to make seven-steamed dumplings!" Little Sizi pointed to the amber-colored fried dumplings.
"Here, this smells delicious." Lu Chen cut her a piece.
Ouch! The little rhinoceros swallowed it whole.
"Na na na... Zhengxiang... It looks like Youyou..." The little guy's mouth was stuffed up like a field mouse.
"We also have skewers, and I'll have some chicken strips..." Lu Chen handed over the chicken strips.
"Hmm...it's alright this way too..."
The people outside the canopy were having dinner with the family. Watching the little princess eat, everyone seemed to enjoy their meal immensely!
As the night deepened outside the window, after the family finished dinner, Lu Chen brushed his teeth with Xiao Sizi.
The lively day finally came to a close.
the next day.
In the morning, the family members woke up one after another.
Lu Chen checked the time; it was 7 o'clock.
Dad started urging, "Lu Chen, Si Zi, let's wash our faces and brush our teeth, then go to the restaurant for dinner."
"That's right, it's free breakfast. We didn't eat any yesterday because we were having a medical check-up." Mom finished getting dressed.
When we arrived at the restaurant, the breakfast was indeed very plentiful!
There's fruit, pastries, various side dishes, milk, and soy milk. In the kitchen, there's also noodles and porridge. It's fantastic!
"Luckily we arrived early, so we can have whatever we like," Mom said quietly.
Dad sat down with Xiao Sizi, and Lu Chen and Mom started choosing their own food, which was Mom's favorite.
"Cherry tomatoes, cantaloupe, watermelon, give me a plate..." Mom picked out a plate of fruit, brought it back to the table, and then came to choose some side dishes.
"The wood ear mushrooms are good, the kelp is good, the enoki mushrooms..." Mom wants a little bit of everything.
"Mom, be careful not to leave any uneaten food," Lu Chen gently reminded her.
"It's okay, I know," Mom replied without thinking.
Ta-da! Several plates of delicious food were placed on the table.
"Too much! Too much!" Little Sizi crossed her legs and looked around from her chair.
Dad is wrapping eggs for his little brother.
Gudu Gudu!
"It tastes pretty good," Mom said softly.
The Wan Chao people watched the family enjoy all sorts of delicious food with great relish, feeling as if they were eating it themselves.
The aroma of those foods seemed to waft into everyone's noses.
"It has a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste!" Even Emperor Qianlong couldn't help but exclaim.
"A commoner's breakfast is better than a royal meal!"
Even I don't know what they're eating.
95
"Does this mean that ordinary wealthy people in modern times can eat so well? Then what's the point of me being the emperor?" Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply shocked.
Look at my meager vegetables and tofu, they're so pitiful!
"No way! We have to have a good meal tomorrow too!" Zhu Yuanzhang decided.
"Chongba, have you come to your senses?" Empress Ma smiled secretly.
"Eat something good every few days! Why be stingy!" Old Zhu stopped being stingy.
The family enjoyed a hearty meal.
Finally, the whole family went back inside, satisfied, to pack their luggage!
