Chapter 104 Old Father

For the past half month, Rong Jinchen had lived an unprecedentedly happy life: every day, he slept until he woke naturally, with his beautiful daughter in his arms. They read storybooks, travelogues, painted, played chess, went shopping, practiced martial arts and played the zither, took naps, admired flowers, and played outside the capital. Every now and then, they would return to the Su Mansion for dinner...

On the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, Rong Jinchen looked at Yu Fuhai, pursed his lips, and said nothing. "Your Highness, His Majesty has asked you and the Princess to come to the palace for dinner." He smiled warmly.

Su Zhenzhen's face froze. She hadn't been to the palace for twenty days. Would her father be angry?

She wanted to enter the palace, but Rong Jinchen wouldn't let her.

He said that after entering the palace, he would be caught by his father and forced to work.

Su Zhenzhen thought that Rong Jinchen's immediate superior was her father, and she didn't want to give up on her honeymoon which only happened once in a lifetime, so she chose to turn a blind eye.

Su Qiyang also turned a blind eye to Rong Jinchen because he brought Su Zhenzhen back to the Su Mansion for dinner every few days.

So the only empty-nest elderly person who was hurt was our Majesty.

After Rong Jin realized what was happening, he took the initiative to call them into the palace. He could not hope that his newly married son, who did not want to be caught working, would remember him as his father.

As for Zhenzhen, she definitely wanted to come and have dinner with her father, the emperor, but she was fooled by Chen'er and definitely listened to him.

Rong Yue was very skilled in finding excuses for Su Zhenzhen.

He doesn't want to be an empty-nest old man with no one caring about him.

Listening to Yu Fuhai's words, Rong Jinchen whispered: "Thank you, Eunuch Yu, for conveying the order. Gu Heng, serve tea to Eunuch Yu." He looked at Su Zhenzhen and said, "It's okay, I'm here." Su Zhenzhen's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at him with a sweet smile.

Yu Fuhai only felt that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and His Royal Highness the Princess were becoming more and more inseparable, which made people very happy to see.

The imperial palace.

Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen wore scarlet brocade couple outfits, looking like a pair of immortal lovers.

At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Rong Jinyou, who had just finished his court, happened to pass by. He was dressed in an apricot-yellow crown prince's court robe with a dragon pattern. He smiled and said, "Achen, sister-in-law."

Rong Jinchen saluted with his fists clasped, and Su Zhenzhen also followed suit with a casual greeting, "Greetings, Second Brother, the Crown Prince." Her smile was very elegant.

Rong Jinyou looked at them and smiled gently, "Achen finally decided to go to the palace to see father?" He had heard his father complain a lot recently, and his heart sank slightly when he thought of this.

He whispered: "How is Second Brother doing lately?" Stop teasing him, or his lover will be embarrassed.

Rong Jinyou smiled and said, "I can't compare to you." All he had to deal with all day long were memorials.

Su Zhenzhen turned her head to look at the various rare flowers and plants in the imperial garden. She couldn't hear anything.

Suddenly she saw the Fifth Princess in a pink palace dress. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled at her.

The fifth princess Rong Ruoyan didn't expect that she was just strolling out casually, and she saw her dear fourth sister-in-law again. She walked over with small steps, "Fourth sister-in-law~" She smiled sweetly.

Su Zhenzhen felt that the Fifth Princess looked like a clingy little rabbit. Why was she so obsessed with her?

On second thought, the Fifth Princess and Concubine De were not particularly favored by the Emperor, the Tenth Prince was still young, and Concubine De's family was not very powerful, so it was understandable that she wanted to curry favor with them.

After all, she didn't hate the Fifth Princess, and she didn't need her to be close friends with her, so she just needed to maintain face.

"Fifth sister." She smiled kindly.

The fifth princess was flattered. Why did her fourth sister-in-law seem closer to her?

As expected, my mother was right. My fourth sister-in-law is a kind-hearted person.

The fifth princess whispered: "Fourth sister-in-law, it's the autumn hunting season in Nanyuan this year, can we go in a group?" The autumn hunting in this dynasty is in September and lasts for twenty days.

Rong Jinchen was very alert and whispered: "Qingqing, you and I will be in the same team." What if the blind prey hurt her?

Rong Jinyou couldn't stand it anymore, "Achen, you can't do this, your sister-in-law should also have her own social circle." Why is his younger brother so love-brained?

Su Zhenzhen bit her lip and squeezed his palm hard, "Chenchen, I want to be in the same group with the fifth sister." She was not his property, and she was not sticky all day long.

Rong Jinchen didn't listen to Rong Jinyou. He lowered his eyes and looked at Su Zhenzhen, "Qingqing." He didn't want to be separated from Qingqing.

She puffed her cheeks and said, "Hmph." She then added, "You don't love me anymore and you don't even listen to me." She looked at him accusingly.

Rong Jinchen's pupils shrank slightly, and he said anxiously, "It's my fault, don't be angry, qingqing." He reached out and took her small hand. "Humph." Su Zhenzhen stopped when she saw that she was going well and pinched his slender white hand in return.

Rong Jinyou and Rong Ruoyan: ...

So do they not exist?

Weiyang Palace.

"Your Majesty, I have met you. May you live forever."

Su Zhenzhen smiled in a very flattering and cute way, "Father, Father, Your Majesty, I'm here to see you~" Her tone was soft and sticky. Rong Yue glanced at her, reluctantly satisfied, and looked at Rong Jinchen next to him, "Chen'er, do you have anything to say?" Don't just call Father, bow and leave.

Rong Jinchen pursed his lips and said, "Father, I didn't enter the palace because I was afraid you'd assign me some work." It's not like I've forgotten my father after getting married. "Oh, I really want you to work, can you avoid it?" Rong Yue said with a resentful tone.

Rong Jinchen was silent for a moment and stopped talking.

Fortunately, Su Zhenzhen was well prepared. She smiled sweetly and lovely and said, "Father, since your birthday is coming soon, your son Chenchen and I are preparing gifts for you at home." Fortunately, she had a trick up her sleeve.

Rong Yue suddenly smiled. "You two are a couple, so I'll let you go for the sake of Zhenzhen. Chen'er, if I'm not satisfied with your birthday gift this year, you won't have a day off."

Rong Jinchen pursed his lips and said nothing.

Su Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately no one blamed her.

"Father, I recently discovered a delicious dish. Would you like to try it? I even brought the chef with me." She said with a smile.

Rong Yue's eyes lit up. He had been eating imperial meals for more than 20 years and was already tired of them. "What is it?" Zhenzhen and Chen'er had not eaten with him for a while, so he felt that he had no appetite.

Why doesn’t Su Ziyun have Zhenzhen to help people enjoy their meals?

Su Zhenzhen smiled with her lips pursed, her eyebrows curved, "It's rice rolls from Guangdong. It tastes very good. I've tried it for you first." She tried it for more than a month.

"Oh? Is it delicious?" Rong Yue smiled. Rong Jinchen said, "Father, please try it. It tastes good."

Some time later, during breakfast, Yu Fuhai brought out a plate of steaming rice noodle rolls with thin, translucent skin from a rosewood lacquer box painted with golden color.

Rong Yue watched Yu Fuhai try the food with his chopsticks first, and saw his expression of slight surprise. "Your Majesty, this is really delicious. It has a smooth texture and a fresh taste." After saying that, he stepped back.

He is over fifty years old and his teeth are not very good, but this rice noodle roll is really suitable for an old man like him.

Rong Yue looked at the tempting and appetizing rice rolls with egg, minced meat and lettuce, and said with a smile: "You have to be a good eater, Zhenzhen girl. Look, my son Chen has gained weight." He looked at them with a teasing look.

Su Zhenzhen carefully turned her eyes away and looked at Rong Jinchen's handsome face with a slightly gloomy expression.
