CHAPTER 1105: CHAPTER 1099: A RARE MOMENT OF RELAXATION

In the midwinter season, snow had already started to fall in the north. At the Battle of Xining, with the appointment of a chief commander, the various armies were no longer disorganized. After a major defeat at Liangcheng, one piece of good news after another began to arrive.

Everyone was just hoping that the conflict in Xining could be settled quickly, so they could return home as soon as possible to spend a reunited New Year’s together with their families.

The gate of the Crown Prince Residence was tightly closed, with Gu Youyou and Miss Du hiding in the yard, roasting meat over a fire pit.

As a foodie, abstaining from certain foods was simply inconceivable. Aside from those truly harmful to the fetus, Gu Youyou wasn’t very particular about her diet. Of course, since she didn’t restrain herself, she wouldn’t make Miss Du restrain herself either.

However, the lamb leg seasoned with chili powder being eaten bite by bite made Xiang Chun incredibly anxious.

These two pregnant women, eating like this, is it really okay?

Miss Du smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’m eating just a little."

Xiang Chun: "..." She had been watching closely; they were clearly not eating "just a little."

Gu Youyou said: "Pregnant women have bigger appetites, so for us, this little amount really is small."

Lun Yu was extremely attentive, constantly bringing over various ingredients for Gu Youyou to help grill.

Aside from being a lover of stories, he was also a foodie.

Knowing that Gu Youyou could whip up something delicious, he would run faster than anyone. Usually, he was quite lazy, the most unique maid in the residence. Seeing him suddenly making trip after trip to the kitchen, the aunties there were all shocked.

The lazy maid has changed her ways?

In order to retain Abao’s wild nature, Yue Rujing fed it raw meat.

Now that it was back with Gu Youyou, she started feeding it cooked food. After tasting roasted lamb leg, it probably wouldn’t care for raw meat again.

Even though it had just finished one, now it was again eyeing the fire pit in front of Gu Youyou.

It looked fierce and imposing, yet had a pair of big watery eyes. Faced with such pitiful eyes, Gu Youyou stood no chance and ended up giving all the remaining lamb leg to it.

Lun Yu, who had just put down some ingredients, was so frantic that he jumped to his feet and said, "Hey hey, I’ve been busy for so long and haven’t had a taste yet. How can you give it all to the dog?"

Uh...

Gu Youyou gave an embarrassed look, indeed she’d forgotten.

She said to Abao: "How about leaving some for your Sister Lun?"

Lun Yu: "..."

That’s just outrageous.

Seeing his constipated expression, Gu Youyou hurriedly put away her smile and said, "There’s plenty more, don’t worry. The best part of the lamb isn’t the leg, just look at these lamb skewers here."

Hearing Gu Youyou say that, Lun Yu’s expression improved a bit, and then he started eating lamb skewers from the plate.

Searcy rushed into the yard, grabbed the remaining skewers and put them in a food box, saying, "These are nice, I’ll take them outside to eat."

Gu Youyou and Miss Du had almost finished eating, while Xiang Chun preferred vegetables and didn’t object.

But Lun Yu was furious, saying, "I’ve been running back and forth getting things for you, and just as I’ve tasted one skewer, you want to take them all. You really have some nerve."

"Oh." Searcy moved the food box behind him and said, "Thanks a lot, grill some more."

Lun Yu: "..."

At this moment, someone at the gatehouse requested entry. Abao, who was eating a lamb leg, was the first to know and lifted its head to look outside the yard.

Xiang Chun put down the skewer she was grilling and went out to the gatehouse. It was someone from the gatehouse.

Gu Youyou had once ordered that her yard could not be entered casually—it required her permission, so the gatehouse people could not come to the inner yard.
