Chapter 944 Solving the Problem: A Hot Pot
Xiao Jingyu walked into the flower hall, and the entire Anguo Duke's family still stood up to greet him. Even though Xiao Jingyu repeatedly said that there were no fixed rules of etiquette in the family, the people of the Anguo Duke's family still adhered to the principle that etiquette should not be abandoned and never overstepped it.
However, Xiao Jingyu insisted on treating him with the respect due to a junior.
He treated the brothers Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu as equals.
However, without the Emperor and Empress present, everyone naturally felt more relaxed and at ease. Fu Mingxiu glanced at Xiao Jingyu and teased, "I bet... His Highness Prince Yu only escorted the Emperor and Empress to the palace gates and then turned back, right?"
"Third Brother guessed right!"
"I still have matters to attend to here, so I must return as soon as possible!"
Xiao Jingyu answered calmly and composedly.
Upon hearing Xiao Jingyu's answer, Fu Mingxiu looked at him very seriously, nodded repeatedly, and said, "To be honest, there really is an important issue awaiting Your Highness's decision!"
Knowing that the Third Young Master Fu Mingxiu was witty, Xiao Jingyu pretended to be serious and asked in a cooperative manner, "I would like to hear the details!"
Fu Mingxiu asked with a serious expression, "What...uh...are we having for dinner tonight?"
Xiao Jingyu's eyes clearly said when he looked at Fu Mingxiu... I knew it!
"Mingxiu is so naughty!"
I thought he was going to ask... what else needed to be done tonight!
So, you were asking what to eat tonight?
Second Madam Zheng Suyao chuckled and rolled her eyes at Third Young Master Xiao, then handed him a cup of tea.
"Second Aunt was right!"
I really have something important to do tonight.
However, even if it's something important, you should eat your fill before doing it, right?
So, what to eat tonight is indeed a very important question!
The third young master, Fu Mingxiu, explained earnestly.
"I see!
So... how do we solve this problem?
The second wife asked!
The Third Young Master, Fu Mingxiu, frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "I remember Yue'er saying something..."
"What?"
"The moon said..."
Seeing everyone waiting for her answer, Fu Mingxiu waved her hand very seriously and said, "There's no problem... that a hot pot meal can't solve!"
If one meal isn't enough... then have another!
Everyone: "..."
"whispering sound!
So you were craving hot pot!
"Just say you want to eat, why go through all this trouble?"
The second wife rolled her eyes at the third young master, Fu Mingxiu!
"My dear second aunt, that's not how it's said!"
Nephew, I'm only doing this for Yue'er's sake!
Yue'er and His Highness Prince Yu have to go out in the middle of the night, so how can we let Yue'er worry about our dinner again!
It's late at night and the wind is cold. If they eat hot pot before going out... they'll feel warmer, right?
Besides, it's hot pot...
Yue'er has already taught the cook how to make the base sauce and dipping sauce, so preparing the ingredients is easy; she can just give the instructions to the kitchen!
That's right...
Fu Mingxiu stared longingly at Leng Rongyue...
Leng Rongyue was amused by Fu Mingxiu's appearance!
"Don't worry, Third Brother, there will be prawns, fish balls, scallops, squid rolls... everything will be there!"
"The one who truly understands me is Yue'er!"
Fu Mingxiu expressed her satisfaction and looked forward to the hot pot she was about to enjoy.
The people sitting around the table also supported the proposal.
I ate hot pot once, and I still miss it... I would love to eat it again!
However, Madam Xue gleaned something from the words of the third young master, Fu Mingxiu…
Madam Xue frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked the question.
Are Yue'er and His Highness Prince Yu going out tonight?
Where to go?
Is there any danger?
Madam Xue looked worried.
"Grandma, don't worry, there's no danger!"
"I just need to take care of something, it's just a short trip, I'll be right back!"
Before anyone could answer, Leng Rongyue spoke first.
Leng Rongyue didn't want to tell her grandmother that she and Xiao Jingyu were going to investigate the secret hideout of the Eastern Wei Kingdom spies under the cover of night!
I didn't want my grandmother to worry!
The third young master, Fu Mingxiu, broke out in a cold sweat... He shouldn't have said that!
Since Leng Rongyue had offered an explanation... of course, such an explanation was essentially meaningless, and no one else said anything more.
After hearing Leng Rongyue's explanation, which was hardly an explanation, Madam Xue understood that there might be something that needed to be kept secret.
Or perhaps they don't want to worry if they find out.
So I stopped asking questions.
But he clearly sensed in his heart that his little granddaughter and His Highness Prince Yu were going out together in the middle of the night... This was no small matter!
If the children don't want me to know, I won't ask anymore. Asking too much will only make them worry!
So, Madam Xue forced a smile to hide her worry and didn't press the matter further. Instead, she smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, since you want hot pot, then give the order. We'll have hot pot tonight. We can take our time, cook slowly, and relax properly!"
"Yes, Mother!"
The daughter-in-law then instructed the kitchen to prepare the food slowly.
By the time they were almost finished preparing, it would be time for dinner!
"That's what Madam Huo Chanyu said."
Madam Xue nodded.
Madam Huo Chanyu stood up, walked to the door, and said to the outside, "Someone, tell the kitchen to prepare a hot pot with two separate broths for dinner!"
