This way.
Ye Qingcheng and her two companions arrived at the Imperial Kitchen.
At this moment, the chefs, palace maids, and eunuchs in the imperial kitchen were all extremely busy.
No matter how busy they were, when they saw Qin Mohan and the other two arrive, they all knelt down and bowed to him.
Qin Mohan nodded to them, and then told Ye Qingcheng to simply instruct the chefs, eunuchs, and palace maids in the imperial kitchen to prepare whatever she needed to do.
Ye Qingcheng didn't stand on ceremony and directly ordered several ingredients.
"Hmm? Mother, are you making a birthday cake?"
Upon hearing the ingredients Ye Qingcheng requested, Ye Jingyu, who was standing to the side, asked a question.
Ye Qingcheng smiled and patted Ye Jingyu's head: "That's right."
"Huh? What's a birthday cake?" Qin Mohan asked, puzzled.
Ye Qingcheng glanced at him, smiled, and said, "You'll find out at the birthday banquet."
"Can't we say it now?"
"Sure! The main thing is that even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. You'll find out when the time comes; it's similar to the pastries we use now."
"Are the pastries almost ready?"
"kindness!"
Ye Qingcheng nodded.
At this moment.
Several cooks brought all the ingredients she had requested.
After fiddling with the ingredients for a while, Ye Qingcheng rolled up her sleeves, ready to cook herself.
Seeing this, Qin Mohan pulled her back.
"Huh? Your Highness, what are you doing?"
"Yu'er just said nothing, should I make a birthday cake?"
"Are you going to do it yourself?"
"Otherwise what?"
"no."
"Why can't it work?"
What if you get your outfit dirty?
"I... Oh! It's okay, if it gets dirty, I can just change it."
"But…"
"Oh! Alright, never mind that. You can take Yu'er for a walk somewhere else, or you can go to the Summer Palace first, and I'll come over after I'm done with my work here."
"No, Mother, I want to stay and help you."
Ye Qingcheng smiled after hearing this: "No need, you and your father go out first."
After hearing this, Ye Jingyu looked up at Qin Mohan.
Qin Mohan also looked at him.
However, then...
Qin Mohan looked at Ye Qingcheng again.
"Your Highness, are you really going to hit yourself?"
"kindness!"
"Then... how about we stay and help you?"
"No need, you can all go out first! If you need help, there are plenty of servants here who can help you."
"Well... okay!"
Qin Mohan responded, then looked at Ye Jingyu.
"My son, why don't we take him there first..."
"Wait, I never acknowledged you as my father."
Before Qin Mohan could finish speaking, Ye Jingyu raised his hand to stop him.
Qin Mohan immediately shut his mouth.
Seeing this, Ye Qingcheng chuckled: "How does it feel to have your own son disown you?"
"I…"
Qin Mohan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he sighed.
Seeing his discomfiture, Ye Qingcheng smiled and shook her head, then looked at Ye Jingyu.
"Yu'er, I support you in not acknowledging him now, but I have to go out with him first. I'll come find you when I'm done, okay?"
"Mother, are you sure you don't need my help?"
"Silly girl, no need. Look at all these people here! If we needed help, we wouldn't need you!"
"Well... alright! Then Yu'er will be going now! You should come over soon!"
"Okay! Remember, don't run around, stay with him obediently."
After hearing this, Ye Jingyu looked up at Qin Mohan and nodded to Ye Qingcheng: "Yes, Yu'er understands."
Ye Qingcheng also looked at Qin Mohan.
"Take good care of Yu'er."
"Rest assured! I will never allow anything to happen to my son."
"Okay! Go ahead!"
Qin Mohan nodded, then looked at the palace maids, eunuchs, and cooks.
"Try to help my queen as much as possible."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Then.
Qin Mohan then led Ye Jingyu out of the imperial kitchen.
After the father and son came out...
Ye Jingyu ignored Qin Mohan and walked ahead on his own.
Seeing this, Qin Mohan gave a wry smile and shook his head helplessly.
However, I was actually quite happy inside.
My son really does look a lot like me.
Not only do they look alike, but their personalities are also so similar.
Alas! It's all my fault. If I had just glanced at the Princess Consort back then, things might not have come to this.
Fortunately, the princess forgave me.
As for Yu'er, well, I believe that my future behavior will surely earn his forgiveness.
that's all.
The father and son, one big and one small, walked silently, one in front of the other.
Soon the two arrived at the garden in front of the Imperial Palace.
Upon seeing him, Qin Mohan spoke up: "Yu'er."
Ye Jingyu turned to look at him and asked coldly, "What is it?"
Qin Mohan smiled and said, "Today is your great-grandmother's birthday banquet. Many ministers, noble ladies, and scions of prominent families will come to offer their congratulations. There are probably already quite a few people in the Imperial Harmony Hall. Your mother told me to keep an eye on you. Would you mind if I held your hand?"
"Hmph, no need, it's not like I'm unsophisticated," Ye Jingyu said with a haughty expression.
However, after he finished speaking...
Qin Mohan chuckled and shook his head speechlessly.
This brat, his personality is just like mine.
Qin Mohan smiled to himself.
However, she then spoke up, "Yu'er, you misunderstood me. What I meant was, there are many people and distractions inside, so we shouldn't stray too far apart, lest..."
