Sweet pet: The queen is delicate and soft

After Ling Nan's envoy resigned, Xiao Mobai switched to the gentle and jade-like young master for a second, holding a bucket of fish in one hand and holding Gu Nian with the other.

"Let's go and make some fish soup for you to drink."

The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, with Xiao Mobai's appearance, it was hard for Gu Nian to say anything.

After all, he was making fish soup for himself, so Gu Nian could only silently let Xiao Mobai lead him towards the imperial dining room.

Gao Quan did not follow this time and stood there smiling as he watched Xiao Mobai and Gu Nian leave.

Gao Quan has been by Xiao Mobai's side since he was little. To be disrespectful, now he looks at Xiao Mobai as if he were his own junior, and he always wishes him well.

Seeing two people so affectionate, Gao Quan was very happy to see it.

When they arrived at the imperial dining room, the young eunuchs and maids working outside the door saw His Majesty and the Empress approaching. They all put down their work and knelt on the ground to greet Xiao Mobai and Gu Nian.

When the cooks who were busy in the kitchen heard the greetings from the young eunuchs, they all came out to greet Xiao Mobai and Gu Nian.

"Get back on your feet, I came here to make fish soup for the queen to drink."

Xiao Mobai said and handed the bucket in his hand to the little eunuch beside him.

The little eunuch took it respectfully and prepared to do the preparations.

Xiao Mobai took Gu Nian and casually found a place to sit, waiting for all the preparations to be completed.

Because Xiao Mobai would come over from time to time, Gao Quan specially ordered someone to open a place in the courtyard of the imperial dining room for Xiao Mobai and Gu Nian.

"Nian'er, is there anything you want to eat? Do you want to go for a walk?"

Since Gu Nian is a greedy person, there are basically all kinds of snacks prepared for Gu Nian in the imperial dining room.

"Okay, let's go over and take a look."

When she heard about the food, the little girl suddenly became interested. She pulled Xiao Mobai up from the chair and walked to the kitchen.

Xiao Mobai smiled fondly, let Gu Nian pull him up, and followed her into the kitchen.

"My queen, what do you want to eat today? If not, we will make it for you."

Gu Nian was usually very approachable, and Xiao Mobai also doted on her. As a result, everyone in the palace doted on Gu Nian and would definitely agree to Gu Nian's requests.

"No, I don't have anything in particular that I want to eat, just pick something at random."

Gu Nian was bored with waiting, so she just looked for something to eat.

Xiao Mobai consciously held an empty plate and followed Gu Nian, waiting for her instructions.

"This, this, and this."

Gu Nian pointed at something, and Xiao Mobai picked up something and put it on the plate, acting like a little follower.

All the eunuchs and maids were used to His Majesty being like this, so no one competed with Xiao Mobai for this job, leaving His Majesty to pick up things for the Empress himself.

"Okay, that's all."

After almost half of the plate was filled, Gu Nian finally stopped. Xiao Mobai took the plate again and placed it on the table in the courtyard.

By the time Gu Nian was almost done eating, the fish had been cleaned up and all the ingredients were ready, waiting to be put into the pot.

Xiao Mobai rolled up his sleeves, revealing his white but strong forearms. The hand that usually held a pen picked up a spoon and began to prepare fish soup for Gu Nian.

Gu Nian grabbed a handful of melon seeds from somewhere, and while eating the melon seeds, he admired Xiao Mobai stewing fish soup for himself.

Seeing the little girl's leisurely look, Xiao Mobai just smiled and didn't think there was anything wrong, as if she should be like this.

"Okay, let it simmer for another hour, and you can have delicious fish soup."

Xiao Mobai closed the lid of the casserole and Gu Nian diligently handed over the handkerchief.

Xiao Mobai took it and said while wiping his hands.

"Hmm! It looks delicious."

"I'll pick the nice ones to say."

Xiao Mobai gently scratched Gu Nian's nose, his words full of love.

"That's how it was originally. My husband's skills are now comparable to those of a chef."

Gu Nian held Xiao Mobai's arm affectionately, and rubbed her little face on Xiao Mobai's arm in a flattering manner, like a kitten trying to please its master.

"It's not because I have a greedy little cat like you around me. If I'm not good at cooking, how will I feed you, huh?"

Gu Nian did not answer this time, but raised his head and smiled brightly at Xiao Mobai.

"Okay, since we still need to wait for another hour, don't stay here. The smoke from the fireworks is too strong and it will get to you again."

Xiao Mobai said, and was about to take Gu Nian away from the imperial dining room.

"How can you be so squeamish~"

The little girl spoke softly, with a hint of coda. Just such simple words can tug at Xiao Mobai's heartstrings.

Xiao Mobai couldn't help but think of last night, when Gu Nian was begging for mercy to him with such a trembling voice.

Xiao Mobai reacted just thinking of such a picture, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He actually wanted to take the person back now and relive the scene last night. But thinking of the fish soup that was still simmering in the imperial dining room, I decided to feed the little girl before concentrating on reliving it.

After all, the little girl wanted to drink fish soup, and by the time he finished, the fish soup would be cold. He couldn't bear to see her sad, so he could only restrain his desires for the time being.

In order to consume some of his energy, Xiao Mobai decided to take Gu Nian to the imperial garden and play with her on the swing.

"Nian'er, would you like to go to the Royal Garden? Since you were pregnant with the child, you haven't played on the swings for a long time."

"Okay!"

When Xiao Mobai said this, Gu Nian remembered that it had indeed been a long time since she had visited the Imperial Garden.

At first it was because she was pregnant, and then she took care of herself after giving birth. It was winter again. Now that the weather has warmed up again and her health has improved, she can play freely.

"Haha, husband, be taller!"

Gu Nian laughed loudly when Xiao Mobai pushed her, and she was not worried that she would fall off the swing.

On the one hand, it was because Gu Nian believed in Xiao Mobai and would never let him get hurt no matter what.

On the other hand, it was because during this period of time, under the guidance of Qiong Hua, she had made some achievements in Qing Gong.

Even if she couldn't fly up in the air, she wouldn't let herself fall directly to the ground while holding on to the swing.

After playing with Gu Nian for a long time, the little girl was so happy that her face turned red from laughing.

Guessing that the time was almost up, Xiao Mobai directly took the person off the swing.

"Okay, the fish soup should be almost done. Let's go back and drink the fish soup?"

Naturally, except for the fish soup stewed by Xiao Mobai himself, the imperial dining room would not let Gu Nian have only fish soup for dinner.
