Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 492: Why Don’t I Have a Sister in This Life? (2)
Xiaobai, now the same size as the Blue Fox, hadn’t transformed into a human form again, merely waiting for the Blue Fox to absorb enough Spiritual Energy. It was only after another space upgrade that the Blue Fox might have a chance to transform into a human form. Xiaojin had already gone through two space upgrades, and although he could now freely enlarge or shrink at will, he alone couldn’t transform, which was a limitation for Xiaojin. Both Xiaobai and Feng Xuxu hoped for a miracle to happen for Xiaojin with the next space upgrade, waiting patiently.
Qiqi and Yueyue had long smelled the delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen, and at this moment, where was the mood to play with the several uncles outside? They had hurried into the kitchen long ago, leaving Xuan Yue and the others to stare blankly, only to guard silently outside the kitchen.
"Time to eat," Yueyue’s excited call prompted the people waiting outside to rush into the kitchen immediately, all helping to carry the dishes out.
On a big table sat a full house of people, with the only exceptions being the master and the mistress. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Yueyue kept twisting her head, occasionally looking to see if Dad and Mom had finished their baths, and smelling the scents coming from the table, her plump little hands reaching out only to be slapped away by her brother, "Dad and Mom haven’t arrived yet, have you forgotten what the Grand Tutor taught us?"
Seeing that her brother was truly angry, Yueyue knew she was wrong and didn’t argue back, just pouted and sat up straight, quietly waiting for Dad and Mom.
Seeing the little Princess’ behavior, Xuefei felt quite sorry for her and intended to serve her some dishes, but seeing that no one around him had started eating, he understood that this was a silent lesson for the Princess. Moreover, the master hadn’t arrived yet—who was he to serve himself first?
Xuefei sighed inwardly. The Crown Prince and the Princess were only a little over two years old and already so sensible. Thinking back to when he was that age, he figured he would have probably started eating with such a variety of dishes before him. Just then, the Emperor and Empress walked in, hand in hand.
As the two sat down, Feng Xuxu picked up her chopsticks and served her daughter and son each a piece of eel, feeling sweet in her heart as she watched them eat with delight.
Dugu Chen reflexively picked up a serving of fish for his wife. Feng Xuxu smiled and picked up some crispy eel strips. Seeing his brow furrow, she blinked her clear, large eyes at him. His heart softened for a moment, and he used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of the fragrant eel leaning on them, his eyes closed as he swallowed it in one mouthful, savoring it as it made its way across his palate.
Seeing him like this, Feng Xuxu shook her head helplessly. The others also picked up their chopsticks and began to clear the other dishes on the table. Their chopsticks moved back and forth over the table, yet none of their motions were rough, eating elegantly instead.
Dugu Chen had just finished the fish on his plate when he looked up to see the eel strips in front of him nearly gone. Watching them eat so sweetly, he hesitated for a moment and then followed suit with another piece, but this time he didn’t gulp it down like before, instead slowly savoring the more he chewed. When he went to get more, he saw that even the last bits of sauce at the bottom of the plate had disappeared.
Annoyed, he began eating faster, and by the end of the meal, nearly all of the dozen dishes on the table had been cleared, with Dugu Chen having eaten an extra bowl compared to usual.
Xiaobai and Blue Fox lay lazily under the tree by the ground, enjoying the afternoon sun, their eyes half-closed, drowsy with sleep.
Feng Xuxu and Dugu Chen took the children for a walk by the ground, strolling around to digest their full stomachs before returning to their room to rest for a while.
The next day, Feng Qi, Liang Shisan, and the account office brought over the account books of the past three years. Mei Lenglei took the thick stack of account books and placed them on the side table next to the Empress.
