Well... in the end, he did act rather childishly in this matter.
"Alright, you unruly fellow, I think you must have misunderstood the Emperor."
At this moment, Fan Qiyue pursed her lips and comforted Long Buji, saying, "How do you know that the Emperor's usual taste isn't like this? Just because you don't like spicy food doesn't mean the Emperor doesn't. You must be overthinking it."
"Xiao Qi!"
Upon hearing this, Long Bujie frowned in displeasure and looked at Fan Qiyue, only to see that he simply shook his head slightly in acknowledgment.
"Actually, since we're here to see our elders, the meal should be prepared by the younger generation."
Immediately, Fan Qiyue took out several food boxes and placed the colorful and fragrant dishes inside. "These were all made by Xiao Qiyue herself after consulting with Xiao Ya. If Your Majesty does not mind, please try them."
As Fan Qiyue spoke, she took the initiative to get up and hand over the bowls and chopsticks, and stood aside to help set the dishes, without sitting down.
However, looking at the food in front of him, although it looked delicious, the Azure Dragon Emperor did not touch his chopsticks, but instead had a look of suspicion in his eyes.
He had just played a prank on this kid, and now he's bringing out food; who knows if it's been drugged?
"What? Do you think my wife... Xiao Qi is like you?"
Upon seeing this, Long Bujie's expression instantly turned cold again, and he said to Fan Qiyue, "Xiao Qi, give me a serving of that dish too."
"Um."
Fan Qiyue nodded obediently and was about to serve Long Buji a portion, but just as she was about to leave, her hand was grabbed.
"Sit down. There are so many servants here, why are you doing it yourself?"
Long Bujie frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "It's not like we're at home. It's fine if you serve me food, but he doesn't approve of you, so why are you serving him food?"
"At home, is it always him who serves you the food?" Upon hearing this, the Azure Dragon Emperor asked casually.
"What, is there a problem?"
Long Bujie grumbled unhappily, "They were originally only going to serve me food."
"Then, I will give it a try."
Upon hearing this, the Azure Dragon Emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his head to eat.
Then, he opened his eyes slightly. Although this thing was not a top-quality ingredient, it tasted extremely delicious!
"Your Majesty, this is called agar-agar. I made it myself. Please try it."
After the Azure Dragon Emperor finished his meal, Fan Qiyue poured him water that had been diluted with jade ointment.
"Um."
Fan Qiyue's gentle and sensible actions greatly reduced the prejudice in the Azure Dragon Emperor's heart.
Because he felt great respect from the other person, as well as the humility that a junior should have.
Although he did act somewhat childishly at the family dinner, the other party not only did not take advantage of his favor or act unforgivingly, but also appeased Long Buji, thus avoiding a conflict between father and son.
That's exactly what the Azure Dragon Emperor saw in her – someone he could live with and maintain a harmonious family.
The meal, though not particularly heartwarming, went smoothly.
"Uncle Long, why don't you say goodbye to the Emperor?"
After leaving the house, Fan Qiyue gently nudged Long Buji, saying, "When fathers and sons part, they always hug. You should too."
"this…"
Upon hearing that he was to be hugged, Long Bujie immediately felt awkward. He wasn't familiar with the Azure Dragon Emperor, and besides, he was currently angry.
Although the Azure Dragon Emperor did not say anything after hearing this, he was actually quite excited and expectant.
He had never felt any desire to be close to his other sons, but Long Buji was different. This child was pure-hearted and was the child of the woman he loved most, so he always felt something different about him.
