Doctor Liu said that he had to drink porridge these days because it’d be easier on his digestion. Porridge would also be less likely to have any adverse effects on the medicinal properties of the antidote.

So as Yaoniang and Xiaobao laid on the big Kang in the eastern side of the courtyard, eating and laughing, Jin Wang drank a bowl of porridge with a cold face.

Listening to the movement over there with his ears perked, Jin Wang’s face grew colder.

He raised his hand and threw the remaining half a bowl of porridge onto the small table beside him, and got down the bed.

Fucheng came over to put on shoes for him. “Your Highness, where do you want to go?” To fulfill the doctor’s orders of recuperating, Jin Wang had not gone anywhere in the past few days.

Jin Wang ignored him. He pulled up his shoes then went to the eastern side of the courtyard.

When he arrived, Yaoniang was eating lunch as Hong Chou fed Xiaobao.

Xiaobao now had four front teeth, two on the top and two on the bottom. He couldn’t eat things that were too hard, but he could eat some soft rice and cooked vegetables.

The stewed mutton was first crushed by the cook with the back of her knife to break up the fibres inside. Then she cut it into small pieces and put them into the pot with a bit of salt and soup stock for flavouring. After simmering for a quarter of an hour, carrots were added to the pot. When the stew in the pot was almost dry, the dish was finally served.

There was also a dish of stir-fried vegetables. This was a rare thing to eat in winter. Fresh green vegetables were hard to find in the market at this time. These vegetables came from the manor’s own greenhouse.

Rice was necessary to accompany the other dishes. A small bowl of rice was cooked specifically for Xiaobao. The rice was cooked in the mutton carrot soup until it became very soft. With the other dishes of meat and vegetables, Xiaobao could finish a large bowl of rice all by himself.

Every time Xiaobao had a meal, several maids would surround him.

Ever since Xiaobao’s arrival to this courtyard, he became the maids’ new favourite. Someone would feed him while another would hold a cup of water and a different person would carry a clean napkin to be used at any time.

Hong Chou laughed at them and scolded them for being idle. But this child was too cute, especially when trying to imitate the serious appearance of adults. It was also snowing outside, so the maids couldn’t go out to amuse themselves. With the earth dragon burning in the main room, why not play with the young master once their work was done?

The sound that Jin Wang heard was the laughter of the maids as they played with Xiaobao.

Yaoniang smiled as she watched her son’s mouth being wiped every now and then. His irritated look of trying to endure was simply too cute. At the side, Yu Chan gave her a piece of chicken stir-fried with bamboo shoots, which she picked up and ate.

Watching her son eat was still what made her the happiest. Back then when they ate with Jin Wang, the more she ate, the more she lost her appetite.

Just as she was about to say something, she raised her eyes and saw Jin Wang standing by the door.

Jin Wang was dressed in cyan with his long hair tied behind him, setting off his extraordinary temperament.

Jin Wang had lost weight. He had lost some weight earlier, but it wasn’t that obvious. However, after taking the wrong blood antidote a few times, it was obvious that his cheeks were a bit sagging.

Yaoniang immediately put away her smile. The maids on the side hurriedly stopped their laughter and bowed their knees in salute.

Fucheng waved his hand and they all withdrew.

Seeing that Jin Wang didn’t speak, Fucheng sighed in his heart and said with a smile: “Madam is eating?”

Yaoniang nodded.

“His Highness hasn’t eaten yet.” Once these words were spoken, it was easy to get the rest of his words out. “The snowy roads are slippery, and Doctor Liu also ordered His Highness to go on a diet. Only drinking porridge meal after meal, even this old servant thinks he’s skinnier. Since you’re eating now, why don’t we…”

With these words, Yaoniang could only order Yu Chan to grab another pair of chopsticks and a bowl.

Jin Wang slipped off his shoes and sat down cross-legged opposite Yaoniang on the Kang.

There were seven or eight dishes including chicken, duck and fish, all made according to Yaoniang’s taste.

Fucheng had wanted to serve Jin Wang, but he didn’t let him and picked up the food himself to eat.

Yaoniang also lowered her head as she ate. The atmosphere in the room dropped to a freezing point.

Only Xiaobao was eating freely. Fucheng couldn’t let the atmosphere be too awkward, and with nothing to say he could only find something to say. He asked Yu Chan, “Is it okay for the young master to eat this? Should children at his age be eating meat? Eh, he’s quite enjoying it!”

Yu Chan answered honestly, “It’s fine. Nanny He originally disagreed, but madam said it was okay. The young master enjoys it and can even finish a large bowl. “

“He eats so much every meal?”

Yu Chan thought for a while, and said, “For breakfast, he eats a small bowl of porridge, some steamed buns, shrimp dumplings, and a boiled egg along with some vegetables. Lunch would be something similar to what he’s currently eating and dinner is similar to breakfast. The food changes every day and he would also eat some fruit and snacks during the day.”

“He doesn’t drink milk?” Fucheng continued to make small talk, distracting Yu Chan from feeding Xiaobao.

Yu Chan replied, “Ever since he started to eat food, he rarely drinks milk. He not only gained some weight but also grew taller. This servant thinks he’ll be able to walk on his own soon…”

On the side, Jin Wang looked serious as he used the chopsticks in his hand to pick up more food.

It was obvious that he was paying attention.

Fucheng acted accordingly and asked more about Xiaobao.

Yaoniang sat there, her mood a bit subtle. Naturally, she could tell Jin Wang was listening.

The atmosphere was harmonious, but there was someone who felt otherwise.

Xiaobao raised his head. There were still a few grains of rice stuck on his chubby face. He stretched out his hand impatiently towards Yu Chan while looking at Fucheng.

Seeing this, Fucheng laughed. “Ah, this servant seemed to have delayed the young master from eating. Eat, eat, this servant won’t ask anymore.”

Seems like you’re self-aware. Xiaobao bit a piece of mutton in his mouth and ground it with his baby teeth.

Hong Die walked in, “Madam, a family named Yao came to see you. They said they are your sister and brother-in-law.”

The chopsticks in Yaoniang’s hand dropped. She felt both panic and delight.

She was happy that she could finally see her sister again but she was panicking because she had no idea what happened to Yan’er after what she did. Although she didn’t hear how she was dealt with, she didn’t expect her to have a good ending from what she knew of Jin Wang’s means.

With the grievances from that incident still hiding in her heart, she turned a blind eye. But now that the Yao Family came to her door, how should she explain herself? She wasn’t afraid of the Yao Family, but her sister-

She couldn’t help but look at Jin Wang. Jin Wang could feel his heart blossoming with joy but with a stoic expression, he patted her hand. “What are you afraid of? This prince is here.”

Suddenly, she was no longer afraid.
