Never thought I'd see the Emperor again.

  In fact, in her days at Huanyi Alley, she had always felt that she was far away from that brilliant and dangerous world.

  The emperor and his concubines all belonged to another world.

  She was wiping the desk when she heard a voice outside saying "The Emperor has arrived", and she was startled.

  Everyone in the room knelt down, and Chao Sheng was no exception.

  The fourth prince came down to welcome him, and amidst the sound of footsteps, the emperor had already walked in.

  Chao Sheng saw the emperor's boots, which were exposed by the flashing corner of his robe.

  "See Father Emperor."

  "Relax."

  The fourth prince stood up straight, and the others in the house dared to stand up as well.

  "Why has Father Emperor come over today?"

  "I heard you were ill, how are you now? What did the doctor say?"

  "My father is worried about me and there's nothing much to it, but just in case, the imperial physician has asked me to rest a few more days at home, so I haven't gone to Chongwen Pavilion to study."

  "Yes, since the imperial physician says so, you should also take a few more days of rest. I heard from Sun Jingtao that you have been diligent in your studies for the past year or two, which is good, but you cannot neglect your body either."

  "The child humbly obeys the emperor's command. The emperor is invited to take a seat."

  The fourth prince's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't fawn all over his father just because he was the emperor.

  It wasn't her turn to pour tea for the guests, so she quietly shrank into a corner, not wanting to draw attention to herself.

  Especially since it's caught the attention of the biggest BOSS in this imperial palace, I'm afraid it won't be anything good.

  If the emperor saw her and could still recognize her, Chao Sheng thought that would be very bad. The things in this world are feared to be associated, if the emperor really associates with the unlucky events that happened before - someone will definitely be unlucky.

  The emperor asked: "What have you been doing inside the house?"

  Nothing much, just reading books.

  The emperor flipped over a book lying upside down on the edge of the couch, which was "A Collection of Flower Spectrums".

  "Are you watching this?"

  "Yes."

  "Are you done?"

  "Just casually flipping through, and I just saw Qiong Hua Ji."

  The tide was so angry that it wished it could shrink itself into the ground.

  However, she also felt that the emperor and his son spoke in a way that was not like father and son at all.

  Of course, they were never an ordinary family's father and son to begin with.

  "Qiong flower is not very good-looking, but visiting bamboo is better."

  The fourth prince was somewhat surprised: "Father Emperor has also seen it?"

  "Unexpected?" The emperor smiled: "I also had a youthful time, and I didn't read few idle books."

  Really? So emperors have childhoods too?

  Tide knows this is a matter of course, but knowing is one thing, and believing it emotionally is another.

  The emperor gives people a feeling as if he was born with this age and dignity...

  "How are you feeling now? Let's take a walk with me in the courtyard."

  Chao Sheng leaned against his ear and listened to the emperor and the fourth prince leaving before he let out a long sigh of relief.

  This sudden relaxation almost made me collapse to the ground.

  Qiu Yan looked at her and shook his head: "Looking at your useless appearance, it's fortunate that you didn't make a scene in front of the Emperor. How did you get so scared?" She thought for a moment, somewhat puzzled: "You should have seen the Emperor before too, right?"

  Tide nodded: "Hmm... seen before."

  Qiu Shan also understood: "I know. You don't have to be so afraid, that thing is already over, and I guess the emperor won't remember a small insignificant person like you."

  Chao Sheng also thinks so.

  Still feel guilty.

  Qiu Yan said frankly: "Actually, I didn't expect it either - the last time I saw the Emperor was last year. And I've never seen the Emperor come to the East Palace before."

  Yes, how did the emperor suddenly come to visit the sick?

  The second prince is also ill and has never seen the emperor visit him either.

  Huh, could it be that the Fourth Prince has a particularly good relationship with others? Not only did his brothers and sisters come in large numbers, even his father was moved to action.

  "Alright, looking at you like this, it's quite pitiful." Qiu Shan said: "You go help Li Aunt with her work, I'll head out first."

  The tide was like a great amnesty, and in a hurry, he rushed out of the house towards the back.

  As soon as she entered the kitchen, she regretted it. The women's eyes sparkled and they grabbed her: "Has the Emperor arrived? Has the Emperor really come? Have you seen the Emperor?"

  Chao Sheng nodded, and as a result, another pile of questions came flooding in.

  Good grief, this momentum is like a pack of hungry wolves spotting fragrant meat!

  At the critical moment, Aunt Li still managed to calm everyone down, standing up and shouting: "Go go go, do what you need to do, why are you all crowding here? Is there meat to eat?"

  In an instant, everyone dispersed in a flurry, Chao Sheng was pulled askew by her collar, and her skirt was trampled on by someone's feet.

  But Aunt Li also asked: "Has the Emperor arrived?"

  "Yes, Your Majesty has come to visit the Fourth Prince's illness."

  Auntie Li flicked the towel in her hand: "Who are you kidding, Fourth Prince was bedridden for a month and the Emperor didn't even come to visit once."

  Who can guess this?

  The emperor's thoughts, too many people want to guess. Those who guessed correctly may have a life of wealth and honor. Those who guessed incorrectly probably won't have a good life in this lifetime.

  "Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. It's none of our business anyway." Aunt Li slapped her thigh: "Oh no, I still have soup simmering on the stove!"

  This topic is also too abrupt.

  Li Aunt seems to be more resistant and repelled by the Emperor than Chao Sheng.

  Yes, it turns out that Aunt Li was also a victim of an unjust case many years ago, which is quite similar to Chao Sheng.

  The emperor didn't know whether it was because he had a good conversation with the fourth prince or if he thought the scenery of Yiqiu Palace was pleasant, but in any case, he ended up not wanting to leave for a while and even wanted to have dinner there.

  The people in the kitchen were immediately stirred up, and they rushed around like headless flies. Li Auntie clutched her waist, so angry that she couldn't help but laugh.

  "Halt, all of you!"

  Zhang Fei once shouted loudly on Changban Slope, stunning the Cao army. Li's loud shout at the door also stunned everyone in the kitchen.

  "What's the fuss about? The messenger also said that there is no need to trouble, just prepare what the master usually eats." Li Gu Gu assigned tasks one by one, clearly stating who does what. Now everyone has a leader, and they start working in an orderly manner.

  The emperor wants to stay for dinner again?

  The tide has already cast a psychological shadow on everyone.

  But seeing Aunt Li's calm and composed commanding appearance, Chao Sheng felt that he was really not worthy of his salt.

  What's there to be afraid of? What is there to fear?

  Her luck isn't always that bad, is it possible that she can get sick from eating every meal?

  Auntie Li prepared the meal according to the Second Prince's usual taste and habits, but after serving the soup, Qiu Mo was a bit worried: "Is this... alright? Isn't it a bit too simple?"

  Li Aunt glanced at her: "Didn't you say that the emperor ordered to do it as usual? Usually, the prince doesn't eat like this every day. If a whole table of delicacies is set up, the emperor might think that the prince is extravagant and wasteful every day, wouldn't that be self-defeating?"

  Chao Sheng listened in surprise on the side, Auntie Li seemed to be a straightforward person, but she even used idioms like "talking cleverly but making a fool of oneself".

  "Right, right, you're absolutely right. Anyway, Imperial Concubine's craftsmanship has always been good, even if the Emperor isn't too satisfied, he won't be too dissatisfied either."
