The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Since they were old friends, when Princess Yongle was about to leave reluctantly after her visit, the quiet Cen Yuan said for the first time, "Princess, please finish your dinner before leaving."

Everyone present was shocked.

His mother-in-law Tang Chujun, mother Yao Sheng, aunt Yu Sujun, aunt Zheng Qiaoer, brother Shi Yunqi, sister-in-law Wei Cailing, imperial physician Shen Siyuan, including the maids, all the people in the room who were familiar with Cen Yuan, were all stunned for a moment.

Cen Yuan, who is very frugal with words, actually asked to keep someone for dinner?

And the other person is a woman. No matter how old she is, she is still a woman you meet for the first time.

Even my aunt and uncle don’t have this honor!

Princess Yongle noticed that everyone was acting strange, but she didn't think too much about it. She just stayed for some reason because she felt that this person was familiar and kind.

Although this boy is young, his appearance and calm demeanor make her feel good about him.

I feel that Tang Chujun is so lucky. Both his son and daughter are so outstanding, and even his daughter-in-law and son-in-law are equally outstanding.

What Princess Yongle didn't know was that when General Weibei was in Lubei, he had said the same thing to her, "Princess, please finish your meal before leaving."

At that time, the princess shook her head and said, "No, military rations are precious."

She and her followers left on an empty stomach, just to leave some food for the soldiers.

As they traveled, they drank a lot of water to save food, which caused their whole bodies to swell. When they pressed their fingers on their legs, a dent was left.

Anyone who has not experienced such a cruel war will never know the value of a grain of food.

If they eat one less bite, the soldiers on the battlefield can eat one more bite; if they eat one less meal, the soldiers on the battlefield can eat one more meal. Often this one meal of rations may be the key to turning the tide of the battle.

However, at this time, the fireworks in the world are warm, and the mountains and rivers of Beiyi are safe. Except that Shi Anxia has not woken up yet, everything is warm and affectionate.

On the table were delicious dishes to entertain the guests, exquisite and rich.

Cen Yuan, who was not good at entertaining guests, also sat at the table for the first time.

Just when everyone was about to start eating, the doorman came over and whispered something to Nanny Zhong. Nanny Zhong's face changed slightly and she hurried over to report to Tang Chujun.

When Tang Chujun heard this, his expression became serious. He stood up quickly and walked out.

Everyone looked at her strangely.

She paused for a moment before saying, "Everyone wait, a distinguished person has come to the mansion..."

She didn't say the second half of the sentence: I'm afraid he's here to eat for free.

She always felt that the treasury was empty recently, and Emperor Mingde loved to come over for free meals.

When they heard that it was a distinguished person, everyone present, except Princess Yongle, knew that Emperor Mingde had arrived, and they all stood up.

Princess Yongle followed everyone out in surprise. Even the mistress of the Duke of Huguo's residence had a solemn expression on her face. Who could it be?

Cen Yuan sighed. Really, Emperor Mingde now hangs around his young master's mansion every few days under the pretext of visiting his daughter.

He has to consider when to start charging.

He was too lazy to go and greet them, so he just told his servants to prepare another table.

Princess Yongle turned around and took a look, and was even more confused.

Who is coming? The wife of the Duke of Huguo needs to rush to greet him, but Tang Chujun's son-in-law is calm and casual, not taking it seriously.

The answer was soon revealed.

Princess Yongle was so shocked.

Emperor Mingde has left the palace! Emperor Mingde actually brought a eunuch to visit here leisurely.

But how could it feel like being a guest? It felt more like going home.

When Emperor Mingde came in, he first told everyone not to be polite and not to treat him as the emperor. Then he asked Tang Chujun naturally, "How is my daughter today?"

Tang Chujun was also very interesting. He had a serious expression at first, but when he saw Emperor Mingde, he became less serious and answered casually, "It's still the same, just like falling asleep."

Emperor Mingde comforted Tang Chujun, "It's still good news if it remains the same."

Obviously, this kind of conversation is not new.

When Emperor Mingde heard that everyone was preparing to eat, he led everyone into the dining hall as he was familiar with the place. As he walked, he chatted with everyone casually, without any airs of an emperor, and invited everyone to take a seat like the host here.

The genuine male owner, Cen Yuan: "..."

This really doesn't treat me as an outsider. The key is that he has to stand up and greet him, "Welcome to the emperor, father."

He can be casual in private, but he has to be polite in front of outsiders. Otherwise, people will say he is uneducated and has tarnished the reputation of his little girl.

Emperor Mingde nodded to Cen Yuan, indicating that he didn't need to be polite. Then he saw Princess Yongle was also there, and said with a smile, "Madam Liguo is here too. I heard that Madam Liguo will leave for Yongle County tomorrow, so let's have a farewell party tonight."

Princess Yongle suppressed the strangeness in her heart and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

So, there is one table for women and one table for men.

There were only four people at the men's table: Emperor Mingde, Cen Yuan, Shen Siyuan, and Shi Yunqi.

After picking up his chopsticks, Emperor Mingde asked Shi Yunqi, "Is Qi Yunshi you?"

Shi Yunqi quickly put down his chopsticks and prepared to stand up and greet him.

Emperor Mingde frowned and stopped him, "Sit down and talk while eating. There is no need for so many etiquette at a family dinner."

Shi Yunqi was puzzled, a family dinner? But he didn't dare to ask, and just admitted that he was Qi Yunshi.

"Then why don't you go to receive the award? Are you unwilling to join the Northern Propaganda Department, or are you unwilling to join the Imperial Academy?"

Shi Yunqi was silent for a moment. "I want to stay in Yunqi Academy as a teacher. When my brother-in-law launched the essay contest, I was worried that no one would participate, so I thought about gathering some people to support it. I never thought about getting a place on the list."

Emperor Mingde: “…”

If I didn't know his strength, I would have thought he was bragging. You know, when Huang Wanqian and others were judging the awards, they didn't know that "Qi Yunshi" was Shi Yunqi.

Qi Yunshi reached the top of the list entirely based on his own strength, which really proves the saying that gold shines wherever it is found.

Emperor Mingde said, "Even if you join the government, it won't prevent you from being a teacher at Yunqi Academy. When your mourning period is over, you can come to the Secretariat to take up a position."

Cen Yuan raised his eyes and said, "Father, I am planning to let my brother take over the position of Minister of the Northern Propaganda Department. Please don't compete with me for him."

Emperor Mingde: “…”

You are all mine! Alas, how much he wished that Cen Yuan was completely his.

He pondered for a moment and then asked, "If Yunqi takes over your position, what will you do?"

He once asked Cen Yuan when he would be ready to return to Liang State.

At that time, Cen Yuan answered him, eight years later.

He had always believed that Cen Yuan could serve as the Minister of the Northern Propaganda Department for eight years, but he didn't expect that he was already looking for a successor.

At this time, Cen Yuan answered him, "I want to wait for Xia'er to wake up, and then take her to travel around the world."

Tang Chujun, who was listening to the conversation with his ears perked up, couldn't help but said, "Yuan'er, take me and your mother with you."

Cen Yuan looked into Emperor Mingde's eyes and responded calmly, "Okay."

Emperor Mingde: “…” We couldn’t continue the conversation that day.

If you run away with all your people, what should I do? I can't get a free meal, I can't see anyone, and I can't go home.
