Fortunately, Hezhuo and Fulinga were obedient. Even though Hongli's hold wasn't very comfortable, they only frowned and didn't cry like other children.
While wiping his hands with a towel, Hongli praised Chen Yuwei for her ability to take care of children.
Hongli had seen children this young before, but no matter who they were, they all left him with a bad impression.
She cried and screamed incessantly, was unreasonable, and the house was a complete mess with nowhere to stand.
From then on, Hongli no longer liked teasing children who couldn't understand him.
Only Chen Yuwei was an exception. Although it did not change Hongli's impatience with children, it made him no longer resistant to interacting with them.
"Your Majesty's words are not attributable to my efforts alone."
The servants in the palace have been a great help to me. I only glance at them occasionally; it was mostly the servants who put in the effort.
Chen Yuwei smiled and brought Hongli a teacup to soothe his throat. She lowered her head and quietly took good care of Hongli.
“The servants are diligent, which is also due to your skillful management of people,” Hongli thought. He felt that there were many servants in other places as well, but the effect was not as good as Chen Yuwei’s. It was still the difference between people. He reached out and patted Chen Yuwei’s shoulder. “Alright, let’s go and have our meal.”
Chen Yuwei smiled and nodded, following Hongli towards the Eight Immortals Table in the main hall.
The octagonal table was already filled with various dishes taken from the imperial kitchen and small kitchen.
The dishes were steaming hot and looked delicious, appealing to both the eyes and the palate.
None of the children came over. The two younger ones could only drink milk. Yonghu had a great time playing outside today and was taking the initiative to lead his two younger brothers to rest in the side hall.
After discussing it with Hongli, Chen Yuwei decided not to have the servants bring them over.
"Your Majesty, please try it. This is something I instructed the kitchen to make."
Chen Yuwei held a bowl of duck blood soup in her hands, which was clear and bright without any oiliness.
When she delivered it to Hongli, Chen Yuwei emphasized that no salt had been added.
Well, it's because Hongli has a light palate; he's very picky about food.
Hongli took a sip and said, "Not bad, is this the chef I sent before?"
Chen Yuwei nodded, "His Majesty is satisfied with his skills. He should come to Yikun Palace more often in the future."
Hongli casually replied with a "good," and then quickly finished the soup in his hand.
"Your Majesty, please try some other dishes; they are all your usual flavors."
Chen Yuwei stopped serving soup and instead picked up her chopsticks to serve Hongli some food.
Hongli graciously ate the food that Chen Yuwei had put on her plate, and then turned around and fed her again.
Chen Yuwei: ...Oh?
