Chapter 1346: Homesickness
your heart's desire, brother, Xia'er will eat!"She opened her small mouth and took a light bite of the tiger meat.With a light chew, mist rose in her beautiful big eyes.It's like savoring the most ex...Tuo Ba Xian shook her head, looking at Yang Ruqing with a moved expression: "Ruqing, you have a kind heart, to even make laba garlic to comfort me."
“Mother…”
"Qing'er, Mother understands your feelings."
"Don't worry, one day we'll triumphantly return to the Great Liao, and mother will treat you to the most authentic Great Liao La Ba Garlic!"
Tuoba Xian's eyes flashed with a resolute gleam.
Yang Ruqing also nodded vigorously.
Being away from home, especially during holidays, it's definitely hard on a mother-in-law's heart.
So earlier, she secretly asked Xiao Ya Xue, the wife of that day's Matsu, what they ate during the Lantern Festival in Da Liao.
Upon learning about this laba garlic, she started making preparations.
Let's just wait until today so that grandma can eat one and ease her homesickness.

At this moment, hearing these words from Tuoba Xian, Yang Ruqing felt secretly relieved. It was good that her mother-in-law was strong.

"Mother, please eat while it's hot. If you wait until the porridge is cold, your stomach might feel uncomfortable," Yang Ruoqing reminded gently.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Tuoba Xian nodded and picked up her chopsticks again, elegantly continuing to eat.
Here, Yang Ruocheng's gaze fell on the needlework basket next to Tuo Ba Xian.
Those tiny tiger-head shoes, measured by eye, were about the size of her palm.
There is one that is already made, like a tiny boat.
The little tiger on the shoe's toe is so lively and vivid.
Yang Ruqing didn't ask.
She knew these shoes were made by her mother-in-law for the child she and Luofengtang would have in the future.
The Empress Dowager, as a true princess of noble birth, had never held a needle and thread in her hands for decades.
This shoemaking craft, I learned from Sun Shi and Bao Suyun these days.

After mastering it, the first thing to do is prepare shoes for future grandchildren.
Yang Ruqing's heart felt warm and fuzzy.
Unconsciously, I touched my still flat belly. Although I felt a little guilty about my grandmother's expectations.
But, she had made up her mind and didn't want to change it casually.
Just follow your own predetermined path. When the time is right, your child will have everything, and everything will be alright.
At that moment when her thoughts drifted, Tuo'er had already finished her meal.
>
Seeing the remaining food on the tray, Yang Ruqing was not surprised.
Unlike the women from farming households, who were squatting at their doors with large bowls in hand.
A bowl of rice and dishes was slurped down in a single go.
Mother-in-law is a true noblewoman, with manners and an emphasis on health.
I only eat until I am 70% full for each meal.
“Mother, is this porridge sweet I added goji berries and jujubes to it,” Yang Ruqing asked.
Tuo Baxiān revealed a nostalgic expression and said, "Sweet but not greasy, refreshing and fragrant, full score."
Yang Ruqing smiled.
“You shouldn’t praise me so much, it makes me blush.” she said.
This is a simple sentence.
Tuo Ba Xian sincerely said, “I mean every word I say. Look, you've been so kind to me during my stay here, always cooking up new and delicious dishes.”
"When I return to Daliang, I'm worried that the imperial chef won't be able to satisfy my palate anymore. After all, you've spoiled me rotten! What am I to do then"
Upon hearing her mother-in-law's heartfelt praise, Yang Ruqing was filled with joy.
"But her face was a shy smile: "As long as grandma likes it, Qinger will make it delicious."
“I like it, of course I do,” said Tuo Ba Xian, and raised her hand to lightly pat her own arm.
"Look, the Qilin arm has come out..."
Qilin arm
Yang Ruqing smiled. Although her mother-in-law, the grand princess of Great Liao, was a powerful figure second only to the emperor, she was surprisingly humorous!
After chatting with Tuoba Xian for a few words, Yang Ruqing cleared the dishes and left the room.
Back in the kitchen of the back courtyard, she called for Zhuiyun.
I also made a big bowl of rice porridge for Chuyun and fried six egg purses for it.
"Today's Laba Festival, I'll give you extra food."
She patted Chuyun's head and then squatted down beside him, hugging her knees as she watched him eat.
Throughout the entire winter, Zhuoyun faithfully guarded her mansion, keeping her company.
Every time she cooked something delicious and watched him eat it with relish, she felt a special sense of accomplishment.
"Zhuiyun, this winter we'll still spend it together. After the New Year, I and Tang Yazi will have to leave for a while."
She couldn't help reaching out to caress its soft, smooth fur, like silk clouds, murmuring to herself.
Zu Yun stopped what she was saying and looked up at her.
Her violet eyes glittered with questioning light, as if asking where she was going and for how long.
"Well, my companion Tang YaZi and I are leaving here, heading north to the capital city to see the Emperor!"
>
“About two or three months!”
Seeing the bewilderment in Zhu Yun's eyes, it seemed like he was struggling to figure out what "the emperor" meant.
Yang Ruqing thought for a moment, and explained in a language it could understand: "The emperor is also a person. He is the king of our country."
Just like you are the leader of your wolf pack, it's the same principle.
As for two or three months…
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, "It's snowing right now, isn't it cold"
"By the time I and Tang Yazi returned, it was warm again. The ice and snow in the mountains had already melted, the grass turned green, flowers bloomed, and even the bears woke up from their hibernation and came out of their dens to forage for food…"
Her guess was right. As she said this, a glimmer of realization appeared in Zhu Yun's eyes.
It still stared at her with questioning eyes, this time with a hint of worry in them.
Yang Ruqing smiled and rubbed its head.
"What are you looking at me with that kind of gaze"
“Are you worried that I'll go to meet our human king, and he'll hurt us”
“Aha ha ha, you’re wrong! This trip to the capital was for receiving an award!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"When I get back from the capital, I'll bring you the most famous roast duck from there. I hear that even the emperor uses it to entertain foreign guests!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"When the time comes, I'll bring you ten or eight of them. Let's try some with Yun too, alright"
This statement clearly struck a chord with Chasing Clouds.
It hopped around Yang Ruoheng.
Its heavy tail swept across the ground like a thousand armies.
It even rubbed its head against Yang Ruqing's chest and raised its front paws to rest them on her shoulders.

The powerful force made her unable to stand steady.
"Oh my, you! You're all grown up now and still think you're that little snowball from before"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
"No harm, no foul!"
Yang Ruqing scooped the fragrant glutinous rice porridge into a few bowls, and inverted other bowls upside down on top of them.
Then put it into a red lacquer wooden lunch box, and cover it with the lid.
Carrying it in my hand, I left home to give some rice porridge to relatives and friends for the Laba Festival.
The first trip was definitely to send it to the in-laws and Grandma's family.
Next is Uncle Luo and the old house.
Chang Geng, Daniu's family, and Wang Hong's whole family were all on her gift list.
After delivering to her parents' home and her grandmother's, Yang Ruqing took the rice porridge for the old house.
"Qing'er, don't go to your mother's room. Neither your grandfather nor she are in there."ze. It was really comfortable.But when I thought about setting off again tomorrow, with only one-third of the journey to Beijing completed, I suddenly felt weariness creeping back into my limbs."We'r...
