Helian Yi's gaze fell on the few melon seeds lying in his palm. His gentle face froze slightly, then he suddenly chuckled.

"Thank you, Sisi."

"You're welcome, hehe."

A fragrant aroma wafted over, and Sisi sniffed, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with a smile. She clapped her little hands.

The chubby little legs thumped as it ran towards the source of the aroma. After a few steps, it listened for a moment, then turned its little head.

"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, come quickly with Sisi! Follow Sisi and you'll get meat to eat!"

Ever since Buddha Lotus regained a little bit of her intelligence, Sisi's little brain has been able to hold even more things.

Of course, since the child is small and can't do much, there's a little extra food for them.

For example, after getting tired of eating sweet roasted potatoes, Sisi got Sister Yue'er involved and had the palace servants set up a barbecue grill and a hot pot!

That's right, today this little cutie is going to treat her brothers and father to hot pot and barbecue together.

Delicious, satisfying, and so heartwarming to be together!

Oh my, I'm such a bright and clever kid!

For the sake of harmony and love between her father and her brothers, this great mother of hers truly went to great lengths.

Mother's love is so radiant and great!

Inside the hall,

On the dining table were oddly shaped objects, at least that's how they appeared to Helian Yi and Helian You, while in the courtyard a few dozen steps away...

Several palace servants were gathered together, but it was impossible to see what they were doing. All that could be seen was the smoke rising and the aroma wafting through the air.

Helian Ci, being the emperor's elder brother, had naturally already tasted these two novelties.

Seeing the bewildered expressions on Helian Yi and Helian You's faces, Helian Ci's exceptionally red lips couldn't help but curl into a smile.

It seems he's closer to the little coward than to these two. You see, he already knows things that they don't.

"Brother, come quick, come quick, time to eat meat!"

Mou Sisi toddled over to the three brothers, with Yue'er following behind, carrying a grilled barbecue.

From afar, the unique aroma could be smelled. Just then, Yue'er brought it over, and the three brothers all stepped forward, looking at the meat and vegetables skewered on bamboo sticks.

Both Helian Yi and Helian You had big question marks on their faces. How were they supposed to eat this?

This is understandable, given that their maternal families have some wealth and influence, and they were pampered from a young age, eating only fine food. They had never tasted anything like this before.

Helian Ci knew perfectly well what was going on, and ignoring the two men's furrowed brows and hesitant expressions, he picked up a skewer of grilled chicken wings and started eating.

In her small hand, Sisi was chewing on a skewer of grilled mushrooms. Seeing that Helian Yi and Helian You hadn't made a move, she...

She tilted her head strangely, chewing on the fragrant mushroom while speaking indistinctly.

"Eldest brother, third brother, why aren't you eating it? It's really delicious."

Even though Helian Yi and Helian You were reluctant to let their little princess be saddened by her expectant eyes, they couldn't bear to see her like that.

Finally, under the expectant gaze of a certain Sisi, and under the disdainful coldness of Helian Ci,

The brothers Helian Yi and Helian You exchanged a glance, then reached out. Helian Yi took a string of mushrooms that looked just like the one from a certain Sisi.

Despite his inner reluctance, Helian You, a little foodie, still picked up a skewer of pork belly that looked delicious.
