LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 58 The little prince is here
At this time, their carriage was far away from the palace gate, and the drivers were all close friends, so Chang Chun told the truth.
"There was an assassination attempt in the palace just now!"
"Ah!" Ning covered her mouth in horror to prevent herself from screaming.
To assassinate the Holy Lord is a grave crime against the nine clans.
There is simply no room for change.
"Who is it?"
"I don't know who it was. I happened to pass by at the time and captured the assassin. But it seems that the assassination was not aimed at the emperor, but rather..."
"What is it?"
"It seems to be against the prince. He seriously injured a young eunuch, who seems to be around the prince."
Ning didn't speak for a long time, and so did Chang Chun.
Long Baoer didn't know what assassins and assassinations meant. He snuggled into his aunt's arms in the warm carriage and fell asleep quickly.
Although Chang Chun had practiced martial arts since she was a child and had guards around her, Chang Maozhi still sent her and Long Baoer back to the General's Mansion first, and then brought the old lady and Ning back to Zhenyuan Bo's Mansion.
As soon as he got home, Chang Chun issued an order that no one should go out.
Next, it is destined not to be too peaceful.
Sure enough, Xue Qingsong didn't come back all night, and Xue Lei also went out to quietly inquire about it, saying that the city was heavily guarded.
Chang Chun didn't care about the right and wrong outside, and stayed at home with Long Baoer and his several young sons.
Because of this incident, the spirit of the New Year has faded a bit, and people who know about it are starting to behave with their tail between their legs.
The children were still ignorant of worldly affairs and were very happy.
Several brothers took turns throwing sandbags with Long Baoer.
On the second day, there was a chaos of war outside. Xue Lei went out for a walk again and said that several families had their homes raided.
In this inner city, all the dignitaries lived, so those whose homes were confiscated were probably high-ranking officials in the court whom they were familiar with.
Changchun felt heavy.
Fortunately, on this day, Xue Qingsong finally came back.
His eyes were red and he looked a little haggard. There has been no war at the border in the past two years, and it has been a long time since he spent a night like this.
Chang Chun rushed out after getting the news.
What surprised Chang Chun was that Xue Qingsong did not come back alone, he also had a little child with him.
At the age of seven or eight, he already walks with great momentum. He is the little prince of today.
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince." Chang Chun quickly led everyone to establish the meeting.
"Mrs. Xue, please get up quickly. I am here to meet another person."
"Who are you meeting?" Chang Chun was a little curious.
After everyone sat down, the prince waved directly to Long Baoer, who was nestling in his aunt's arms, "Xiaolongbaoer, come here!"
Long Baoer's little face bulged up, like a little bun.
"I am Long Bao'er, not Xiao Long Bao'er!"
"Then, do you want to eat the Xiaolongbao that Gu brought?" The little prince gestured, and the little eunuch next to him immediately offered a suitcase.
Without the help of the Xue family's servants, the little eunuch took out the contents. There were Xiao Long Bao in a delicate little plate.
Because there is a charcoal fire simmering underneath, the buns are still steaming hot when taken out.
Long Baoer doesn't know whether this steamer is small or not. But the buns are really small.
Each one is only the size of a woman's thumb and forefinger circled around each other. The skin is white and translucent, with exquisite and beautiful wrinkles. There is also a touch of red on the top tip.
Absolutely beautiful.
Not to mention Long Baoer swallowing his saliva, even the boys watching the fun behind him were a little greedy.
Long Baoer's saliva was almost drooling.
The corners of the little prince's mouth, which was always expressionless, slightly curled up slightly, "Want to eat?"
"Think!" Long Baoer's voice was so loud that several older brothers couldn't help but hide their faces.
Chang Chun quickly ordered his servants to bring the dishes.
The little eunuch beside the prince put the xiaolongbaoer on a small plate and brought it to Long Baoer.
Long Baoer didn't eat, but stumbled over to Xue Qingsong with a small plate in his hands. He looked straight at him with a pair of dark eyes, "Uncle, eat."
Those ignorant and sincere eyes made Xue Qingsong's fatigue instantly dissipate.
There was an irrepressible smile on his face, and he stretched out his hand to pick it up.
But Chang Chun next to him suddenly coughed slightly. Xue Qingsong turned to look, and Chang Chun pouted at him.
Only then did Xue Qingsong react. He stretched out his hand to hold the small plate and said, "Long Bao'er, there is a difference between a king and a minister. The prince is the king, so you must give it to him first."
Long Baoer gave the prince a confused look.
Isn't there a difference between elder and younger? Why has it become a distinction between monarch and subject again?
But do whatever your uncle says!
Long Baoer turned around and wanted to give the steamed buns to the prince.
The little prince waved his hand, "I often eat it in the palace, the general can use it for himself."
Xue Qingsong had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and he took it with a smile after hearing it.
Chang Chun was angry and funny when he saw his impatient look.
Fortunately, tea and snacks were served just in time, and Chang Chun politely invited the prince to drink water.
On the other side, the little eunuch put the steamed dumplings on the plate again.
This time the xiaolongbao was sent to Chang Chun by Long Baoer.
Chang Chun did not eat, but held it for Long Baoer and fed her bite by bite.
The skin of the xiaolongbao is white and soft, and you can see the meat filling inside after taking a small bite.
The meat filling is also very delicious, and it is actually much more delicious than what the Xue family cooks cook.
There was a look of shock on Long Baoer's face, and then he ate significantly faster.
This xiaolongbao was not very big. Even if General Xue pretended to be polite in front of the prince, he only took two bites. If you don't pretend to be polite, then it's just a mouthful.
Long Bao'er was no better than General Xue. He could finish the little buns after just four bites.
One big and one small, the uncle and nephew chewed at the same time. Everyone said that nephew Uncle Xiao, Long Baoer did look a bit like Xue Qingsong.
Chang Chun looked at Long Bao'er who loved to eat, but he looked thoughtful.
In fact, the cook of the Xue family was not specially found, but a veteran who had retired from the military camp. Because he had been injured on the battlefield, one of his legs was sloping, and he was old.
Just say that I don’t intend to be a drag on anyone and don’t want to get married. Later, Xue Qingsong simply called him to the house to take charge of cooking.
The craftsmanship has improved in recent years, but in the end the taste is still average.
Previously, it was because neither Xue Qingsong nor Chang Chun paid much attention to eating and drinking, and the seven brothers of the Xue family had been accustomed to eating these meals since childhood, so Chang Chun didn't think much about it.
Now seeing Long Baoer, Chang Chun suddenly felt that he couldn't do this anymore.
Their delicate little girl had to be pampered. He was raised like a noble person and ate fine food every meal. Their family couldn't afford to raise him anyway.
The little eunuch put small buns for Long Baoer one after another, but Xue Qingsong stopped eating after eating one.
"His Royal Highness is here today. Is there anything else you want to ask my wife?"
