In the palace, Concubine Xiao Xian asked someone to prepare gifts and personally helped the fourth prince organize his clothes. "I finally went out, so there is no need to rush back."

"Um."

The fourth prince's first smile these days appeared on his face.

Not only were the ladies frightened on the day of the palace banquet, but the fourth prince was also scared.

After returning to his bedroom, he didn't dare to fall asleep. After learning about it, Concubine Xiao went to accompany him all night.

Fortunately, the emperor was in a bad mood and had no time to take care of these things. Otherwise, the fourth prince would be reprimanded. He was so old that he even let his mother sleep with him.

Concubine Xiao Xian touched his head, "Tell your grandfather, we are all fine, so he doesn't worry."

The fourth prince focuses on the key points.

The aunt in charge sighed in her heart. The Empress raised the fourth prince too ignorant of the world, and this was not a good thing.

"Go."

The fourth prince took his men out of the palace.

Before he could arrive at the Duke Dingguo Mansion, the officials who were waiting to curry favor received the news. They ordered people to prepare gifts and go to the Duke Dingguo Mansion to pay New Year's greetings two quarters of an hour later.

At the gate of the Duke of Dingguo Mansion.

The Xiao family is here.

Xiao Gan was wearing a thick cloak and coughed a few times from time to time.

The wife of Dingguo Duke also looked sick, and two maids stood beside Dingguo Duke.

The fourth prince lifted the curtain of the car, and saw this scene. He quickly got out of the carriage and walked a few steps to support the wife of Dingguo Duke, "If my grandmother is not in good health, don't come out. Feng'er is not an outsider."

"The courtesy cannot be abolished."

As he spoke, Duke Ding took the lead in delivering his salute.

He is a lord and does not have to kneel down.

The fourth prince first supported him, and then stopped Xiao Zheng and Xiao Gan and his wife who were about to kneel down. "It's all gone. It's too cold. Let's hurry up and enter the mansion."

The Duke of Ding made way out and waited for the fourth prince to enter the mansion, and ordered, "Close the door."

The thick door was slowly closed.

The officials who wanted to come to pay New Year's greetings were stunned when they heard the news.

Everyone went to the flower hall to sit down.

The fourth prince ordered the palace servants to bring the things up.

"This is prepared by the mother's mother. The mother also said, please don't worry about her."

"Your mother is really okay?"

The Duke of Dingguo covered her heart. She was really uncomfortable. It was not because she was scared, but because she was angry with Concubine Rong. She had any grudges against her daughter and she even cheated her before she died.

"Don't worry, grandma, mother is really okay, I'm fine, either."

The last sentence of the fourth prince was guilty and his voice became obviously weaker. How could Duke Ding not hear it, nor did he expose him?

Stroking his beard, "Miss Song and the others have come long ago and went to the kitchen and said they were making some delicious dishes."

The fourth prince's eyes suddenly lit up.

It has been a long time since he ate the dishes made by Song Wanyue.

The housekeeper walked in with a smile, "Master, Mr. Sun said that they are all ready and asked you to go to the dining room."

The fourth prince was surprised, "When is it time to eat?"

"What do you think!"

Xiao Gan laughed out loud, "Brother-in-law asked us to go over and make dumplings."

"Make dumplings?"

"Yes, my brother-in-law said, whoever packs it will eat it. If you don't know how to pack it, you will go hungry at noon today."

The fourth prince swallowed his saliva. He really didn't know how to do it. He was served by people in the palace, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. Not to mention making dumplings, he had never worn the clothes himself.

Duke Ding had never been included, and it was very strange. He got up first, and everyone stood up and went to the kitchen.

The noodles and fillings have been made. Song Yin and Song Si rolled the dough and made dumplings one by one. Xiao Yao was learning to roll the dough with a rolling pin on the side.

Seeing everyone coming in, I blushed a little.

She was injured on the same day when she married Song Si and was raising her for several months. Later, she became pregnant again. After the baby was born, she was busy taking care of the baby. She never thought about learning to cook, let alone making dumplings.

"Grandfather, grandmother, father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Song Si brought an apron and greeted him calmly, and Song Yin nodded to everyone.

The fourth prince's eyes fell on his face, and he only glanced at it, then quickly moved away, and began to roll up his sleeves with excitement on his face.

"Wash your hands first, let's teach you how to pack it."

Everyone washed their hands and surrounded the table.

Not to mention Duke Ding and Xiao Zheng, even Duke Ding and Madam Xiao Zheng don’t know how to make dumplings. If there is a cook at home, they can do whatever they can do.

Song Si gave one of the men a rolling pin and asked them to roll the dough with Song Yinxu.

What seemed very simple was difficult for them to learn, but they were sweating profusely, but they didn't roll out one that could be used.

"I gave up."

Xiao Gan put down the rolling pin.

Too difficult, more difficult than fighting a war.

With him, Xiao Zheng didn't want to learn it anymore.

Song Yin spoke slowly, "Yue'er said, if anyone can't learn it, don't talk about dumplings, and she is not allowed to eat the dishes she cooks at noon."

Xiao Zheng quickly picked up the rolling pin that was about to be placed on the chopping board. Isn’t it just rolling the dough? He didn’t believe it, so he couldn’t learn it.

Xiao Gan really wanted to say that he would not eat it if he didn't eat it, but when he thought of the fragrant dishes, he couldn't help swallowing and muttering, "Miss Song is so cruel."

"What did you say?"

"No, I didn't say anything."

Song Yin glanced at him.

Xiao Gan felt nervous and quickly picked up the rolling pin.

The Fourth Prince was extremely at ease when he saw all this.

He thought that no matter what he faced in the future, he would remember this scene today and the family that made him feel at ease.

"I rolled it out!"

Duke Ding proudly raised his rolled dough, shook it around in front of everyone, and put it in his old wife's hands.

The wife of Dingguo Duke made the first dumpling like Song Si. Although it was not good-looking, it was enough to make her happy.

"I rolled it out too!"

"Me too!"

"Look at it, do my dumplings look good?"

...

Listening to the sound coming from the dining room, the corner of the butler who was guarding the yard never fell.

There has been no such happy scene in the mansion for many years.

very nice!

...

After an hour, the dumplings were wrapped and Song Wanyue's dishes were prepared.

Everyone was so proud that they had no food left.

The fourth prince was overwhelmed for the first time in his life and was slung on the chair without any image.

Xiao Gan is almost the same as him.

Song Yin looked at the two of them with squint eyes.

These two guys, whether they were grabbing vegetables or dumplings just now, were faster than the other, and they deserved to be over.

When Xiao Gan noticed his eyes, he turned his head and ignored him. He didn't care about his cousin. It was the most affordable to eat dumplings and vegetables in his mouth.

The fourth prince also felt it, subconsciously sat upright and smiled at Song Yin. He really didn't want to rob it on purpose, but he couldn't control it.

All of this was seen by Duke Ding. He coughed and relieved the Fourth Prince, "When will you go back?"

The fourth prince immediately replied, "My mother said, I finally came back, so I don't have to hurry back."

Duke Ding Guo nodded, "Since that's the case, let's go to the study to play a few chess games."
