After the father of the subjugated country secretly read my heart, he became angry.

hot pot?

Fried skewers?

The fifth prince looked confused. Meals in the palace had always been ordered in advance. There had never been such a thing.

what is this?

The name made sense, but he had never eaten it.

"Thank you Eunuch Wei for conveying this."

The fifth prince thought, and followed Wei Zheng with a serious face.

Along the way, he was worried.

My sister said that their Tianqi Dynasty will decline in the hands of the new king within three years.

Recently, when he was in the study, he heard from his master that the river was overflowing and flooded many fields. The master also told them about the problem of refugees.

Money is needed everywhere now.

Tianqi Dynasty is already in danger of crumbling.

How come my father still thinks about food, he is extravagant and wasteful.

The fifth prince's face was a little unhappy, but when he entered the Chonghua Palace, he heard his sister's babbling voice, and he couldn't help but stop.

[Oh, fried shiitake mushrooms are delicious. Draw a cross on the back of the thick shiitake mushrooms, fry them in oil, and bite into them until they become soft and elastic and lock in the juice. Add cumin powder and salt...]

[Fried cabbage is also great. The high temperature completely drives away the earthy smell of the dish, leaving only the sweetness...]

[Fried chicken tenders is even more special. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with all the fat wrapped inside, tender but not too spicy, fresh but not salty. After eating, have a bunch of fried rice cakes and wrap them in sweet sauce...]

The complaints in the fifth prince's heart were suddenly cleared.

The fried skewers turned out to be my sister’s idea.

It turns out that they are all cheap things, such as mushrooms and cabbage rice cakes, which ordinary people can afford.

When he stepped into Chonghua Hall, a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, the fifth prince is here." Wei Zheng smiled and announced.

In the side hall of Chonghua Hall, Emperor Xiao Yunzhou was lifting up the sleeves of his dragon-patterned robe, holding fried skewers in his left hand, and sprinkling cumin jade bottles on the fried skewers in his right hand.

Hearing this, he raised his head and looked towards the door.

Upon seeing it, Xiao Yunzhou was also stunned.

Although he is not usually close to children, he is still concerned about his children.

The fifth prince, Cheng Qian, has had a straight face since he was a child. Among the princes, he is the one who acts like someone owes him money every day.

As the Ninth Five Emperor, Xiao Yunzhou certainly doesn't like looking at people's faces.

Therefore, he rarely asked his fifth son to eat to avoid indigestion.

But unexpectedly, Cheng Qian walked in with such a conspicuous smile today. Xiao Yunzhou was flattered by the contrast!

"Cheng Qian, come quickly. My father will season the fried skewers himself. Come and have a taste."

Xiao Yunzhou is like a licking dog at this moment.

There was nothing I could do about it, but my youngest son suddenly had a good look on his face. The comparison before and after made Xiao Yunzhou a little strange!

Moreover, this filial little son saved his father, the Emperor, just last night in the Qianqing Palace where Earth Dragon turned over.

Compared with the 'new emperor who will succeed to the throne in the future', the third prince is better off.

Xiao Yunzhou asked Wei Zheng to clean his son's hands, then asked his son to sit down quickly and handed him a bunch of grilled squid tentacles.

"This one is chewy. Your mother doesn't like it, but my father thinks it's good. You can try it."

Next to her, Liu Bin was eating fried wings, coated with salted egg yolk powder.

It's salty, crispy and tender, bursting with juice as soon as you bite into it.

Xiao Yunzhou said, and generously gave her a skewer of the fried wings he prepared, "You have just given birth, so don't eat too spicy."

The fifth prince Cheng Qian was shocked when he saw it.

It had only been a day since we last saw him, and his mother-in-law was sitting next to his father, eating fried skewers served by him?

[Wow, the emperor’s father is so attentive to my mother, wow, I’m even envious~]

[Obviously he loves chicken wings, but he still gives them to E Niang! 】

Xiao Yunzhou looked happy.

There were people who flattered him before, but they were just like scratching the surface.

How could there be such real-time praise? It was so refreshing to receive immediate complimentary feedback on everything he did?

He doesn't know, he looks like a naughty kid now.

Once you praise it, people will go crazy.

The more you are praised, the more energetic you will be.

But there was no way. He was made a prince when he was three years old. The late emperor was very strict with him and made three more tutors to discipline him.

The Taifus were very strict about the Four Books and Five Classics, horse riding and shooting, and strategies for governing the country, and seldom praised him.

The late emperor and the queen mother both hoped that he could stand upright. If he played a little bit, he would be disciplined.

After he ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, he was scolded by the Queen Mother for enjoying himself because of winter hunting, and was forced to write an edict to admit his mistakes.

When he came to power personally and was raised by the Queen Mother, the ministers and censors became more enthusiastic and always scolded him for what he did wrong.

Even if they don't want to be drafted or enter the harem, they will bring out their ancestor and talk about him!

Anyway, the censor never wrote a letter praising him for the emperor's good work, only the wrong ones!

Xiao Yunzhou has never heard his daughter "praise" such timely things in many years.

[Wow, the emperor is so awesome. He spreads the cumin evenly and his gestures are elegant. The baby is greedy. 】

【Save, I want to eat too~~~】

Xiao Yunzhou immediately grinned, put the fried skewers in his son's and Liu's bowls, and then picked up his precious daughter.

"Chu Chu, dear, when you grow up, your father will also cook fried skewers for you."

"We, Chu Chu, can eat as much as we want, and Father will get it for you."

Xiao Chuchu suddenly opened her toothless mouth and drooled.

The fifth prince Cheng Qian glanced at E Niang and quickly put the fragrant fried squid into his mouth.

Take a big bite.

As expected, the father can also hear what his sister is saying!

Can their whole family hear it?

Kunning Palace.

The queen was checking the eldest prince's homework, "Your father has been supervised by the late emperor since he was a child to study, and he is good at everything in arts and martial arts."

"So you have to listen to the master in the study. If the master asks you to read an article once, you have to read it three times."

"Only your father will be happy, you know?"

The eldest prince nodded.

This is how my father grew up, so he will naturally have strict requirements on his son.

But just as he was talking, a palace maid came in and whispered in the queen's ear.

After a while, the queen was surprised and happy.

"The noble concubine was punished to practice Taoism? Was Master Fucha also reprimanded?"

She couldn't hide her joy.

The imperial concubine and her third prince are the biggest stumbling blocks for the eldest prince to become the crown prince.

The imperial concubine and her mother clan are so wonderful!

But the palace maid quickly whispered something in her ear, and the queen couldn't help being frightened and angry.

"Liu promised to be promoted to Concubine Liu?"

Up two levels in a row?

"The fifth prince and Concubine Liu are dining with the emperor?"

The emperor was injured last night and she went to visit him, but the emperor didn't even see her because he was recuperating!

"Does the emperor know about Sangege being harmed by grandma?"

The queen's face turned pale.

She did not tell the emperor that Sangege almost caught cold.

It turns out that the emperor has been busy lately, and she also enjoys seeing women in the harem who have children suffer misfortune.

It didn't matter what happened, so she naturally didn't tell the emperor.

Now, the queen is anxious.

The palace maid's next words made her look even more ugly.

"The Emperor has just conveyed a decree that Concubine Liu and San Gege will accompany them during the winter festival in Qiu Mountain."

Liu Mansion in Beijing.

Mrs. Liu family and Master Liu family both received the news that their daughter and granddaughter would accompany Dongji out of the palace.

This news was brought to the Liu Mansion by Pang Rusong's servant when Mu Xiu left the palace.

"Why did the fifth prince become friends with the imperial guards? If the emperor is afraid, it would be too imprudent to do anything."

Master Liu is more cautious.

Mrs. Liu's heart was beating fast.

She grabbed the master's arm and said, "Master, Qiu Shan, please take me with you. Officials' families can rest at the foot of Qiu Shan. In previous years, the wife of Jingzhao Mansion next door also went there."

"Madam, we are different. Our grandson is a prince, and our Liu family are relatives. It's better to be careful."

Mr. Liu family disagrees.

But Mrs. Liu refused. She wanted to see her granddaughter again.

The granddaughter is cuter than an ordinary baby and is reincarnated with a fairy warning.

Mrs. Liu has been dreaming about the tragic ending of the Liu family that her granddaughter told her about since that night.

Her daughter is going to be buried!

Neither my granddaughter nor grandson survived!

The whole Liu family is going to die.

What kind of relatives could she care about, what kind of things could the emperor be afraid of?

Hey, the current emperor will be buried in three years!

"Master, I must go this time. My granddaughter and daughter finally got out of the palace, so you might as well let me take a look at them from a distance."

Mr. Liu really couldn't resist his wife, so he could only agree.

On the day of the winter festival, all officials gathered in front of the Chongyang Gate to worship.

Then they took their own carriages and horses, and accompanied the imperial driver to Qiu Shan Temple.

In the distance, when Mr. Liu was about to get into the rental carriage at the Chongyang Gate intersection, he heard a childish voice, as if ringing in front of him.

【Huh? Is that my grandfather? 】

Mr. Liu's family shivered.

Turning his head suddenly, he looked ahead.

[Oh, my grandfather is also very handsome. He maintains a good figure and is not out of shape.

It's a pity that my grandfather was demoted three times during his father's reign, and he was considered stupid and unfit for use. So when the new emperor came to the throne, the Liu family was listed with seven deadly sins in court and was sent into exile three thousand miles away. There were not many ministers who could speak for the Liu family. 】

Mr. Liu, who was always cautious, said: "?"
