It was already late in the evening when Huangfu Su Fu came out of the office. There was no dinner, so he led the eunuchs and maids to the palace.

The eunuch who guarded the hall was about to call out loudly, but stopped him with a wave of his hand. He then walked inside with steady and steady steps.

He had just passed the main hall. Before he even turned around the small courtyard, he could smell a fragrant scent. Occasionally, there were the sounds of a woman's happiness.

"Sister Yu-er, is this what you meant by 'hot pot'? Wow! Ming Zhu has lived for so long, yet she has never eaten such a delicious meal … "

The young emperor paused in his steps. "You all wait outside." he said to the steward behind him.

"Yes." The head steward led the dozen servants behind him away respectfully.

There was a smile on his face, like a peony with dew on it, graceful and noble at the same time. Turning around the corner, he saw the silhouette of a censer under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard.

There were so many beautiful and fair women in the palace, but it was exactly her that he saw in a single glance. The woman had changed into a simple white dress. At this moment, she was wearing a plain white dress with blue gauze covering her body. The gentle wind blew and the veil danced in the wind, causing her to emit a faint amount of spiritual energy.

"My brother? "Oh brother, you're here?!" In a flash, Ming Zhu went up to welcome him, grabbing her big brother's arm, "Big sister Yu-er is making a 'hotpot'!"

He helped his sister clean up the mess, "It just so happened to be me coming over here with some food." The latter words were obviously directed at the person beneath the tree.

The servant women in the courtyard quickly prostrated themselves. "Your Imperial Majesty's good fortune!"

She stood under the tree with her hands behind her back. A pair of black and white clear eyes looked over and silently observed her, but she didn't move an inch.

The exalted ruler of the country wasn't angered at all. He waved his hand and said, "You may all leave." The night was so quiet that he actually wanted to have a drink alone with her.

On the stove, the soup was steaming hot. Under the tree, she washed the lotus roots and put them on the cutting board.

Her white, plump lotus roots accentuated her clean, white fingers. "The sharp hilt of the saber nimbly rotated in her hand. Crack! Crack! Crack! The handle of the knife made contact with the plate. She cut the lotus root into thin pieces. With just a few movements, one lotus root was finished.

Ming Zhu couldn't help but exclaim, "What a powerful knife technique!"

She was not modest at all. After placing the lotus root onto a plate, she waved at the princess, "Little girl, come, come. Big sister will teach you."

Little Ming Zhu skipped over to her side, her face clearly smiling as she slanted her mouth to complain, "Ah! In the name of teaching, testing out the labor for free. Elder sister, you're really bad."

On the little girl's chubby face, all sorts of playful and cute expressions made Liu Yu'er "Pu!" A laugh resounded, "Ai, such a smart girl …" She glanced at Lord Monarch, who was standing to one side. "His Imperial Majesty is coming today for a meal?"

The Monarch replied, "Yes, I did."

She tore the bean skin into pieces. "You're so confident even when you're trying to get a meal?"

The woman was not in the palace at all. She was wearing the clothes of someone who owned the house, eating their food, and sleeping at someone's house. He still talked about the Son of Heaven so shamelessly.

Ming Zhu was still digging with the two potatoes in her hand. She was stunned when she heard this.

However, the young Monarch was expressionless. "That's more or less the case."

"This is the first time Liu Yu'er has met such a shameless man." Then, do you want to eat it? "Come here." She had the guts to criticize the Son of Heaven.

Ming Zhu understood her elder brother's temperament very well. He was someone who would take advantage of the situation. That was a man who would seek revenge ten years later. After all, he was someone who could kill even a dead person.

Now, her elder sister Yu-er rolled up her sleeves and actually yelled at a large financial backer, "Get over here!" Ming Zhu was slightly trembling in panic. In this world, there was no one who dared to call out to her brother like that.

She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her thin white wrists. It was probably because she had been busy all this time. Tiny beads of perspiration appeared on her forehead. Sweat soaked the hair at her temples and dripped on her face. That white porcelain face, stuck to seaweed like hair. In the intense color contrast, he only felt that her beauty, the firewood oil salt, was that real. So he took a step closer to her, and with every step he seemed to take a step closer to happiness, a happiness so full of worldly pleasures that he, who lived in a temple, would have never dared to ask for in his whole life.

So he went up to her and asked, "How is it?"

She directly placed the winter melon in his hand. "Come, come, come. Let's cut this melon first."

Ming Zhu held her breath, what a big tone! Tell your brother to work!

He stared at her.

She tilted her head and looked at him in amusement.

They looked at each other.

After a long while, a shocking scene appeared!

"He took the winter melon and picked up the kitchen knife on the table." Ka! He cut the first knife!

The man wore a purple and gold crown of hair, and a long robe of yellow silk. The legs of the robe were turned over and stuffed into a white jade belt at his waist. On his feet were soft purple and black silk brocade shoes. Even though a person was weak, they possessed the imposing aura of a king.

At this moment, he actually received a winter melon! He had actually picked up the kitchen knife on the case! He actually cut off the first cut!

Ming Zhu felt that her entire perception of the world had gone awry. His cold and proud brother, who had always been aloof from the sun and the spring water, was gone. Was this beautiful young man who was quietly slicing winter melons really his elder brother, the Emperor? Ming Zhu stared foolishly at him, speechless.

"The little girl has become an idiot!" Liu Yu'er pointed at Ming Zhu's nose, "Hurry up and dig out all the potatoes!" She stood aside and pointed fingers at them.

"Aiya, it hurts!" The little girl shouted out exaggeratedly, "Big brother Feng, big sister Yu'er is bullying Ming Zhu!" She gave her brother a snitch.
