Chapter 19 Hot Pot
"Is this true?" Qin Yun asked. She didn't want a mysterious person to become her enemy because it would make it difficult for her to deal with him. After spending the past few days together, she felt that Chen Huaian was not simple.

She felt there was a mist around him. Rather than mist, it was more like she had seen it before, as if on a scroll of portrait, but it was so long ago that she could no longer remember it clearly.

"Of course it's true!" A Tie said seriously.

"In my dream, I saw you using your cane to perform swordplay and dancing in the snow. You looked more handsome than any other knight I've ever seen!"

Bai Ling'er looked at A Tie's serious expression and resisted the urge to hit him. Qin Yun didn't know what to say for a moment and looked at A Tie with some amusement.

"What's wrong? Why don't you believe me? I really dreamed about it!"

Little did he know that his words just now almost shocked Chen Huaian. He couldn't figure out where the secret had slipped out.

But what Ah Tie said next made him feel relieved, "It turned out to be a dream. I thought I couldn't defend against that guy."

"I believe you." Bai Ling'er said seriously, but in fact it was perfunctory, because it was just a dream after all.

But this made A Tie very excited. In his heart, Chen Huaian was someone who could not be replaced by anyone.

Chen Huaian didn’t know what kind of image he had in A Tie’s mind, but it didn’t matter to him because he was just doing things according to his heart.

He wanted to teach them to read and write, just because he didn't want them to be ignorant people. He told them stories just because he wanted to tell them, and there was no other special meaning.

"Sister Bai, let me tell you, I have dreamed of Master dancing with a sword more than once, so I firmly believe that Master is a master of martial arts!"

As Ah Tie spoke, he stood up, clenched his fists, his eyes sparkling, his face full of excitement. He expected Chen Huaian to teach him martial arts, but this was just his expectation, and Chen Huaian had no intention of teaching him martial arts from the beginning to the end.

Chen Huaian was frightened by his words again. He now seriously suspected that A Tie had really seen it.

After hearing what Ah Tie said, Qin Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately it was just a dream, not real."

Chen Huaian gave her a very familiar feeling, as if she had seen him somewhere before, and she did not want to be his enemy.

As several people were talking about Chen Huaian, a rich aroma wafted out from Chen Huaian's pot, and a very obvious swallowing sound reached everyone's ears.

Bai Ling'er knew who it was without even thinking. She looked at Ah Tie with a look of disappointment and said, "You only know how to eat."

"Ling'er, don't talk about him. He is in the growing period, it is normal for him to eat more." Chen Huaian came to them with a big pot of dishes and said to Bai Ling'er with a smile.

"But sir..."

Bai Ling'er thought that it was not easy for the gentleman to live alone. He could not eat anything good for a long time. If A'tie, a foodie, was added, he could not eat many bites of meat.

But Chen Huaian didn't care about these things. He interrupted Bai Ling'er and said, "Eat more. You are still growing up, so you need to keep up with the nutrition."

As he spoke he went to get the chopsticks and distributed them among the three men and the cow.

Bai Ling'er and A Tie were not surprised, they had been used to it for two years, but at first they were no less shocked than Qin Yun, but they were still very young at that time, and their curiosity about new things suppressed their shock, and they also became friends with Lao Niu. "Come on, come on, eat more." Chen Huaian called them to eat quickly, although Bai Ling'er and A Tie had already eaten, but Chen Huaian's cooking was so delicious that they felt hungry again.

Bai Ling'er felt embarrassed and blushed at this. Not long after she mentioned Ah Tie, she actually showed such an attitude. However, Chen Huaian seemed not to notice and urged her to start eating quickly.

But Chen Huaian himself didn’t even pick up his chopsticks, so how could they do the same?
"Aren't you going to eat?" Qin Yun asked, "We dare not pick up our chopsticks unless you do." Qin Yun said with a smile. Chen Huaian knew that she was reminding him that Bai Ling'er and A Tie would not pick up their chopsticks unless he did.

So he picked up a piece of meat, put it to his mouth, and said, "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Chen Huaian wanted to make hotpot, but the conditions did not allow it, so he made a pot of hodgepodge. Although he felt it was not as delicious as boiled food, it was also very good.

When Bai Ling'er and A Tie saw Chen Huaian picking up his chopsticks, they also picked up their chopsticks. They ate with relish, with happy smiles on their faces.

After all, they were just children from ordinary families. They could only eat these things very rarely, so they felt particularly satisfied with every bite.

Qin Yun didn't move her chopsticks. She didn't expect that the food she could eat casually at ordinary times would become an elusive delicacy in the eyes of others. An inexplicable heartache filled her heart.

She felt that she was not a good emperor. Her face looked a little melancholy. Chen Huaian saw it and ate silently beside her. He knew what Qin Yun was thinking. "Perhaps this is a common problem for every good emperor."

Qin Yun may think that she is not a good emperor, but in the eyes of her subjects, she is irreplaceable. Perhaps she has a big misunderstanding of herself.

"Sister Bai, eat this quickly, it's delicious."

As A Tie spoke, he picked up a piece of white radish and put it into Bai Ling'er's bowl. The white radish that had absorbed the soup was particularly delicious, and it was full of rich meaty flavor when put in the mouth.

Bai Ling'er took a light bite. The soup with the aroma of meat and the unique taste of radish, the combination of the two is a delicacy on earth. There is no greater simple happiness than this.

Qin Yun was stunned. She couldn't remember how long it had been since someone served her food. She had to deal with state affairs in the palace every day, facing the intrigues of officials and being wary of those behind her back. She took every step with extreme caution. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had been so relaxed.

"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

As Chen Huaian spoke, he picked up a piece of radish for her. Out of respect for the empress, he used a pair of new chopsticks. Qin Yun ate the radish with a smile, and a sour feeling spread in her heart.

"Sister, eat quickly." Bai Ling'er picked up some meat for Qin Yun. Although she had doubts about Qin Yun before, she could feel Qin Yun's low mood at this moment.

And Chen Huaian just took the initiative to pick up food for her, which proves that she must be a good person.

Her trust in Chen Huaian was almost unconditional, so she believed that Qin Yun was a good person, and the doubts in her heart disappeared the moment Chen Huaian picked up some food for her.

"Thank you." Qin Yun said with a smile. After all, she was just a 19-year-old girl. She should have been at a carefree age, but she had to take on the responsibility of governing the country. She was very tired because there was almost no one around her who she trusted.

Chen Huaian didn't know the situation she was facing, but he knew she was excellent, very excellent.
