"How is it, eldest brother, third brother, is it delicious?" Sisi's eyes sparkled, his face full of anticipation.

Helian You nodded, his dark, bright eyes shining with surprise, as if he had discovered a new continent.

Helian Yi was also somewhat surprised. His dark eyes met the expectant gaze of a certain woman, and he nodded slightly.

"Hmm, not bad, the taste is unexpectedly good."

"Hey hey hey, Second Brother, look! Sisi said that Eldest Brother and Third Brother would like it too, hehe."

Sisi turned her little head and looked at Helian Ci beside her. She held the unfinished roasted mushroom in her hand, wiggled her little body, and was extremely proud.

"Alright, alright, you're the smartest, okay, you little glutton?" Helian Ci reached out and flicked Sisi's forehead without hesitation.

"Ouch, Second Brother, you flicked some oil beans onto the forehead of the stunningly beautiful woman!!" someone jumped up and complained.

"Awoo."

With a small mouthful of enoki mushrooms stuffed into his mouth, Mou Sisi glared at Helian Ci, but still honestly chewed on them, thinking, "So delicious, humph."

Helian Ci raised an eyebrow, seemingly unconcerned. Helian Yi took in the interaction between the brother and sister, his gentle eyes crinkling with a smile.

Even with his temperament, the second prince adored his younger sister; they were so harmonious.

It reminded him of how his second brother acted like an enemy when he first moved into Yongqing Palace, which was quite amusing.

"Little princess, let me wipe it for you."

Helian You had finished the roasted pork belly in his hand, and now he was holding a skewer of roasted beef. He pulled a small handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Mou Sisi.

"Thank you, Third Brother."

Third Brother is so thoughtful! Sisi took the small handkerchief and wiped his forehead haphazardly.

"Your humble servants pay their respects to Your Majesty!" The sounds of palace servants bowing and paying their respects with utmost trepidation echoed outside the hall.

Helian Nie gave a faint reply and stepped into the hall. He saw a group of children sitting together, eating strange and unusual things.

"Father, come quickly, let's eat meat together~ Sizzle sizzle, it's so hot!"

While engrossed in eating the delicious meat, Sisi took a moment to look up and wave her chubby little hand at Helian Nie.

The hall was filled with a unique and enticing aroma. Changying followed behind Helian Nie.

Looking at those plates of freshly grilled vegetarian meats skewered on bamboo sticks, especially with the cumin powder and sesame seeds sprinkled on top, it's really tempting.

Helian Nie walked over, and Helian Yi's gentle face furrowed slightly, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly. He subtly moved aside.

Helian Nie didn't mind, and sat down next to Mou Sisi, picked up a skewer of grilled pork tenderloin, took a bite, and praised it.

"good."

Helian Yi was somewhat surprised. For the first time, he looked directly at his nominal father, the pampered emperor, who ate these things so naturally.

"Father, you ate it! You actually ate it without hesitation!"

The fourth prince was equally surprised. His eldest and third brothers had hesitated for a long time before eating, and his father, who was also eating for the first time, had done so decisively.

Helian Nie found it amusing, and with his well-defined fingers, he unceremoniously pinched Si Si's chubby cheek.

"What, can't I eat it? Or did you poison it?"

"No, no, how could that be? Sisi, my adorable father, how could you poison me? Father, you're overthinking it."

"Smack~!"

To show her true feelings as a little cutie, Sisi leaned in and gave her a kiss.
