New Return of the Pearl: A Different Qing Er

Chapter 167: The Ordinary Marriage Arranger

The few of them didn't stay at Saiya for long before Fu Jinlin and Ertai came to pick them up for dinner.

The dishes at today's banquet are still served the same as before. This not only allows the food to be eaten with the best taste, but also relieves some pressure on the kitchen staff, as they don't need to rush to serve all the dishes on the table together.

The first thing to be served on the table was the rabbit that Ertai and Xiao Jian had hunted together.

First comes the dry-pot rabbit meat. The small cubes of rabbit meat and fresh diced chilies, with the help of various seasonings, give off an enticing aroma.

Song Qing finished a small dish of rabbit meat in just a few bites, still looking unsatisfied.

Ertai saw Song Qing's expression, chuckled, lowered his head and whispered to Song Qing: "There will be other flavors later. I just discussed with the chef about many different ways to cook rabbit meat. I will make sure you have enough to eat today."

"But don't eat too much, because there are still sika deer and roe deer hunted by Benjamin later. These two are the main dishes, so you have to leave some space for them!" As he said this, Ertai gently touched Song Qing's belly again.

But as he touched her, his eyes became deep. It had only been a few days since they got married, so Qing'er shouldn't be pregnant!

He was just a young boy at that time and didn't think so much. Ever since he saw Saiya's growing belly, he was always worried that Qing'er might also be pregnant, which would be too hard for her.

"Hey! What are you daydreaming about? You didn't even hear what I said just now!" Song Qing had just been talking for a long time but didn't hear Ertai's response. When she looked up, she saw him staring at his stomach in a daze.

Do you think you have gained weight recently? No way!

Ertai came to his senses and quickly explained: "I was just wondering if your stomach could eat so many delicious foods."

"Of course you can. If I can't finish it, I'll let you eat it!" Song Qing didn't have so many psychological burdens. She would eat what she could. If she couldn't, she would let Ertai finish it. After all, Ertai had a big appetite.

As the two were talking, the next dish was served. It was indeed as Ertai said, another dish made of rabbit meat.

Fortunately, the kitchen staff probably feared that people would get sick of eating too much rabbit meat, so they interspersed some other dishes in between.

The emperor, sitting on the main throne, looked at the young couples below and smiled with great satisfaction. He felt that his role as matchmaker was not in vain.

Look at these couples, they are so loving and sweet! Hey~ he is really an ordinary little expert in arranging marriages!

"Yongqi, I don't like this. You eat it." Xiaoyanzi pushed the dish that she didn't like after taking a bite to Yongqi. Yongqi ate the dish without saying a word.

He really has lost his status as a prince. Under the teachings of his mother, he is the one who makes sure his wife eats what she doesn't like, and he serves her what she likes with both hands without any complaints.

Xiao Jian and Benjamin ate the dishes that Zhihua and Xu Tian couldn't finish without any psychological burden.

As for Erkang and Ziwei, they are still as sweet as ever.

Finally, under Saiya's expectation and urging, venison and roe deer meat were finally available.

Song Qing and Xu Tian took a bite and found it delicious. It is not possible to eat this nowadays because it is illegal.

Fortunately, there is no requirement for these in this era, so they can enjoy them.

The meal was very satisfying, and after it everyone returned to their respective yurts to rest and prepare for the afternoon activities.

I don’t know if it was because she ate too much at lunch or what, but Xiaoyanzi started to feel uncomfortable after she went back home. She wanted to vomit but couldn’t.

Yongqi was so frightened that he quickly pulled the imperial physician over.

Upon hearing the news, Song Qing and others gathered at Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi's residence. Even the emperor, who was preparing for a nap, hurried over.

"What's going on? Why is Xiaoyanzi suddenly feeling unwell?"

Seeing the emperor speak, Yongqi quickly explained: "Father, I don't know. After Xiaoyanzi came back, she felt a little uncomfortable, but it was not serious, so I didn't go to find a doctor. But she didn't show any signs of getting better, so I called the doctor here."

After hearing what Yongqi said, the emperor felt relieved. As long as there is no serious reaction, it's good. "Let's see what the imperial physician says first."
