Guide to raise my cutie husbands

"Oh it's strawberries," Shao Tengfei said with some surprise. "Though they are ripe they still have some green shade at the bottom. Why did Princess send you unripe strawberries?" She could not help but ask in surprise. It was a rule that nothing imperfect could be served in front of the members of the Imperial family.

As Xie Lei was the eldest princess, it was quite a surprise that she actually forgo the rule and sent these imperfect strawberries to her mother. "Is there something special about these strawberries?" The eldest princess never did something that would embarrass the Imperial Family. There was no way, she would have broken a rule for no reason.

However, no matter how she looked at it the strawberries looked unripe.

"And what is that?" Cui Meiji questioned as she picked up the small wooden box inside the large one. As soon as she touched it, she pulled her fingers away in a jiffy.

"What's wrong?" Xie Zhenya asked as she looked at Cui Meiji.

The latter blinked her eyes and then said to Xie Zhenya, "It is cold. How could it be cold?"

Xie Zhenya raised a brow and then picked up the box that was inside and opened it. No sooner did she open it, than white fumes billowed out of the box. Inside the box were large chunks of ice and in between were some delicately woven wicker covers that were covering coloured ice.

"What is this?" Shao Tengfei had never seen something like this, she couldn't help but peer into the box and question Xie Zhenya who picked up the letter and read it carefully again. She answered, "They are called Ice Candies. Apparently, they taste like fruits."

She picked up the orange one as Xie Lei said to her that this was her favourite.

Xie Xieren uncovered the ice candy and then bit into it. No sooner did she take a lick than her eyes brightened she turned to look at Shao Tengfei and Cui Meiji before saying, "It does taste like orange."

No sooner did she say this, than the other two women snatched the two ice candies before Xie Zhenya could stop them.

"Tha…That is something my daughter sent for me!" She said to the two women who bit into their ice candies. Shao Tengfei waved her hand and then said, "This is made of ice and the box no matter how well insulated it might be, the ice inside will melt. We should eat them before the ice melts."

"That's right!" Cui Meiji agreed with Shao Tengfei. Her eyes were closed as she relished the cold ice candies. She said to Xie Zhenya, "This is really good, even though it's for a while… I feel my body cool down."

Xie Zhenya shook her head and finished her ice candy in a few minutes. She then drank water and ate something salty to wash over the sweet taste lingering in her mouth before picking up the unripe strawberries.

Since her daughter sent something nice there was no way she would send something sour and unappetizing to her.

She grabbed a strawberry and then bit into it. Xie Zhenya did not even wash the strawberry!

"Delicious!" She moaned with extreme delight, the fragrance and sweetness of the strawberry filled her mouth. She then dipped the strawberry into milk jam and ate the remaining bit of it. "Oh my, it's really good! How could something be so delicious?" Not to mention she felt really energized after taking a bite of this strawberry.

Shao Tengfei and Cui Meiji looked at one another before they too followed Xie Zhenya's actions. Their eyes brightened as they finished eating the strawberry and milk jam.

"This is really good!"

"I agree, no wonder the princess sent it to you, your highness!" Shao Tengfei felt embarrassed when she thought about how she thought that Xie Lei made a mistake by sending such things to Xie Zhenya.

"They are not even ripe yet," Cui Meiji noted as she remarked, "Who knows how ripe they would be when they become ripe?"

Shao Tengfei and Xie Zhenya nodded.

Before they knew it, the box of strawberries was eaten by them. When they reached their hands into the box, they found that the box was devoid of any strawberries inside it!

"They are already gone?" Cui Meiji couldn't help but complain. She signed and said, "I want to eat more. Now what should we do?" She wanted to eat more strawberries but when she looked at the boxes that were inside, Xie Zhenya immediately closed the box.

She said, "We hardly get anything good to eat. Not to mention we need to share some with our soldiers… it's better if we leave the remaining."

Xie Zhenya decided to use a box of strawberries to lure the soldiers into working hard. The one who performed the best would be able to receive a box of strawberries from her. At the same time, she decided to ask her daughter to send more strawberries and ice candies.

Of course, the payment would be handled by Lin Wan.

On the other hand, Shao Tengfei who was standing on the side silently, was thinking about something carefully. Her eyes flickered left and right as she thought of something.

Master Yuan who was standing in the courtyard of his building, looked at the sky while grooming his two wolves. His hands moved left and right, as he combed the fur that was entangled and couldn't help but scold the two wolves, "You two have been frolicking in the mountains for a month! Just look at you! It's as if you have been dragged from a pit of mud.

I couldn't even believe that you two were my wolves when you returned."

He was not at all exaggerating because this was the truth!
