"You yelled at me!" the little guy said, looking extremely aggrieved. "I always talk to my older brother about it, but when I do, you ignore me. You're mean!"

After finishing her accusation, her nose tingled, her eyes welled up, and tears were about to fall.

Hongxuan remained dumbfounded.

Hongshi looked regretful.

After realizing what had happened, Honghui and Fourth Master looked at the aggrieved Hongjing with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, and then turned to Hongxuan.

Hongxuan, having regained his senses, easily caught the interest in the look in his eyes.

His lips twitched, and he didn't care whether others were watching the show or not; he needed to calm his younger brother down first.

He walked towards Hongjing, intending to pat him on the head and comfort him.

But when he saw that his hands were dirty, he paused in his movement, withdrew his hand, and gently comforted him, "This is Fourth Brother's fault. Fourth Brother apologizes to you and will not ignore you in the future."

After hearing this, the little guy looked intently at Hongxuan and extended his right pinky finger, saying, "Then let's pinky swear."

“Okay!” Hongxuan also extended his pinky finger and hooked it with his.

The little guy immediately beamed with joy.

In the distance, Jiaming used her special ability to clearly see and hear this scene, and a relaxed smile returned to her face.

Then, I stopped paying attention to what was happening here and focused on cooking.

Unlike Jiaming, who possesses supernatural abilities and can clearly understand the situation, the eldest princess does not.

So, she glanced over there, then at Jiaming, her eyes darting around, feigning concern but actually a smile playing on her lips as she reminded him, "Guarjia Mother, Fourth Brother seemed quite angry with Fifth Brother just now. Aren't you going to go and see him?"

Haha, I thought the two brothers had a very good relationship!

Jiaming looked up, glanced at the eldest princess, then lowered her eyes, thinking to herself that she was a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong, and was timid in front of the Fourth Prince. She was easy to deal with.

A mocking smile flashed in his eyes, then he calmly said, "It's alright, it's normal for brothers to bicker, besides, your father is here."

The eldest princess wore a look of annoyance. "Sigh, I forgot about Father." She was frustrated; she had thought she could help her mother upset the Guarjia clan, but the woman remained remarkably calm.

Jiaming caught a glimpse of the eldest princess's emotions out of the corner of her eye and sneered inwardly. She couldn't even hide her emotions on her face, and yet she still wanted to spar with her.

Tsk!

While lamenting that Li had spoiled her daughter, she stirred the meat soup she had cooked.

Smelling the rich and delicious aroma, Jiaming's eyes crinkled with joy as she thought about the delicious soup she would be enjoying later.

But when she glanced at the eldest princess who had tried to annoy her earlier, the petty girl was displeased—she was actually going to share the delicious food she had made with the person who was opposing her!

Of course not.

The petty Jiaming narrowed her eyes, her thoughts swirling within them. Then, she lightened up again, a smile playing on her lips, and continued working.

Over there, Hongjing was teased a few times for being called a "little jealous bottle," and after making a few jokes about him, he got busy again, picking up flowers and plants once more.

It wasn't until Jiaming sent someone to say that the food was ready that Fourth Master and the others stopped.

After washing their hands and faces, the group didn't change their clothes or shoes, and headed straight for the food that had been laid out.

In the pavilion, on the stone table, there was a pot of stewed meat steaming, as well as roasted meat and fish, and lush green vegetables... The enticing aroma made my already hungry stomach feel even hungrier.

Glug glug!

The Fourth Prince and several of the older princes were immediately embarrassed and fell silent.

The sound came from among them, and they all thought it was coming from their own stomachs.

Glug glug! Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound.

Hongjing looked down at his stomach, and his chubby little hand involuntarily touched it. It turned out that his stomach was growling.

The little guy wasn't embarrassed at all. He looked up and grinned at Jiaming, "Mother, I'm hungry!" Then, he winked at Fourth Master and urged, "Father, sit down quickly."

Fourth Master glanced at Hongjing sideways. This little guy actually dared to urge even his father.

Honghui looked at Hongjing with a smile, then glanced at his calm fourth brother Hongxuan beside him, thinking to himself: They really are brothers, equally bold.

Hongshi and the eldest princess stared wide-eyed at Hongjing, then quickly and timidly glanced at their father, Fourth Master.

Seeing that expression, Jiaming, who was inspecting the tableware, couldn't help but shake her head inwardly. It had nothing to do with them, so what were they afraid of?

His gaze shifted to Hongjing, whose eyes were moist as he looked at the Fourth Master. Hongjing smiled brightly and said, "Father, why are you looking at me like that? Please sit down. Aren't you hungry?"

Feeling the hunger rising in his stomach and smelling the delicious aroma of food, Fourth Master stopped looking at Hongjing and decisively walked to his seat and sat down.

After Father sat down, Jiaming sat next to the Fourth Prince, and on the other side was the First Prince Honghui. Then, everyone else sat down in order of seniority.

Only after Fourth Master started eating did everyone else begin to eat.

Upon taking their first bite, Honghui and Hongshi, who were eating food made by Jiaming for the first time, had their eyes light up and started eating much faster.

Those who had tasted her cooking before, including Fourth Master, were quick to start eating.

Even so, they ate with great elegance.

Seeing how popular her food was, Jiaming smiled broadly.

The eldest princess, who was also eating such delicious food for the first time, ate slowly and muttered to herself: How come everyone says that the concubine of Guarjia is very good at cooking when the food is so awful?

The eldest princess, with a pained expression, looked up at her father and younger brothers who were happily eating, and asked in confusion.
