Chapter 391: The philosopher.
They were both still laughing as they reached home. Their house seemed to be the chosen place for the after party of Meihua’s engagement because aside from close relatives, the newly engaged couple, their friends and a few royals had come over.
The ensemble from the engagement had been moved to their garden and they were playing lively music. Su Manchu and Jun Yi were punishing everyone with their singing.
As she went into the house, Mei Mei caught a glimpse of the Emperor and Zhenzhen in Mingzhu’s playhouse, snuggling very close. Their relationship was progressing faster than a car on a racing track, seeking a championship win.
Everything they brought was snatched up as if nobody had eaten a thing since morning. Even the last sweet potato in her hands was snatched by Ji Waning and delivered to the Emperor.
"What the hell!" She exclaimed. "At least save something for me."
Two dogs barked in agreement beside her. They had not eaten any of the goodies as well. Had everyone forgotten that they existed?
Was there no justice for dogs in this world?
Meow Meow was squeaking as well as she made her way out through the window. Who cared about dogs when her private fruit pantry had been raided?
Who had allowed the house owners to invite all the hungry monsters over? Didn’t they know that it was wrong to take food from a nursing mother?
"Mom...." Jingzhe shouted for his mother as he made his way to the kitchen. "Why do we have so many hungry guests? Everyone is acting like a starving ghost....aaaahhhh....." he broke off, suddenly and his feet came to a stop because the Empress Mother was sitting on their kitchen counter, eating the very grilled skewers and potatoes he and Mei Mei had brought back.
She was not the only royal or noble woman in the kitchen. Even his mother-in-law Chi Lian was inside, drinking papaya milk while eating some of the left over cake from the engagement party.
He turned around and walked away without saying another word, almost colliding with Rong Meihua’s mother and Prince Long Feng.
