Chapter 348: Chapter 347: Eating Meat

Translator: 549690339

At the time of this conversation, the siblings were sitting face-to-face in the bright and breezy autumn courtyard, grilling a deer leg to eat.

Not far away, Huang Ying and Xiaoman, along with a few other maids, led the little Crown Prince and Princess as they played around a large golden apricot tree.

This ginkgo tree had a hundred-year lifespan, and it was intentionally enclosed when they built the Prince of Yu’s Residence.

Now in autumn, ginkgo leaves had fallen all over the ground, golden yellow.

The two children were staggering and crawling on the fallen leaves, rolling in the piles of leaves and letting out their tender giggles.

Jiang Ning glanced at the children and smiled slightly at the edge of her lips.

She was holding a small brush, brushing honey onto the deer meat, while Jiang Yi held a sharp little knife, cutting off a small piece of meat, blowing on it, and bringing it to his sister’s mouth.

“Is it cooked?”

“Hmm… it’s still a bit undercooked. Let’s wait a bit longer.” Jiang Ning swallowed the deer meat.

Jiang Yi heard this, put down his knife, took a sip of yellow wine, and laughed, “You really can’t stay out of the excitement, can you?”

“The real excitement is yet to come.”

“How did you know the Crown Prince and the Prince of Wei would fight?”

“Because they’re lonely and cold.”

“What?”

“Ahem, because the Crown Prince had to find an opponent for himself.” Jiang Ning laughed, “Of course, he’s still suspicious of me and hasn’t confirmed that it was the Prince of Wei who did it. But that doesn’t matter.”

“Why doesn’t it matter?”

“As long as he doesn’t have definite evidence, it’s all just suspicion.”

“If it’s just suspicion, why does he have to fight the Prince of Wei?”

Jiang Ning put down the brush, licked the honey from her fingers and laughed, “Did you think the Emperor would let him be Crown Prince without worries?”

Jiang Yi shook his head: “Little sis, your mind is even more calculating than our father’s. You even dare to guess the Emperor’s thoughts.”

“The Emperor is just a mortal after all.”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing.” Jiang Ning laughed, “It should be about done. Give it a try.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi immediately got excited, picked up the knife to slice the meat, and placed a few pieces on his sister’s plate.

Jiang Ning picked up a thin, small pancake, dipped the meat in some sauce, pinched some shredded green onion, and wrapped it up.

Jiang Yi had seen the pancake and green onion earlier and laughed, “What are you doing?”

“Eating.”

“Why eat it like this?”

“Brother, just give it a taste.” Jiang Ning offered the wrapped pancake to his mouth.

Although skeptical, Jiang Yi knew that no matter how unpalatable the thing his sister offered him was, he had to swallow it with his eyes closed.

He opened his mouth and took a bite.

“Is it good?” Jiang Ning asked with a smile.

“…It’s good.”

Jiang Yi quickly cut several pieces of meat, picked up pancakes and green onions, and wrapped them up before stuffing them into his mouth.

The pancake was thin and small, just right for him to eat in one bite.

He ate five or six in a row before stopping.

“Not eating anymore?”

“No… I’ll take a break and eat later.” Jiang Yi took a sip of wine and laughed, “The weather is pleasant, the meat is fragrant, the wine is good. Ah, it’s so comfortable here, Seventh Sister.”

Jiang Ning smiled and waved to those in the distance, “You all come here.”

Huang Ying and Xiaoman quickly led the boy and girl twins over.

Jiang Ning took a knife and cut off a big chunk of meat, put it on a plate, and told Xiaoman, “You go wash your hands and take this deer leg to share with everyone.”

Xiaoman’s eyes lit up, and she immediately ran to wash her hands and came back holding the deer leg.

“Huang Ying, you go eat too.”

Jiang Ning held Lingzi in her lap, tore off a small piece of meat, and handed it to Lingzi to pinch onto.

Jiang Yi said, “She’s still young, can she eat it?”
