Li Bingchen arrived faster than anyone expected.
The king sent someone to deliver it early the next morning.
He put it this way: Since you yourself said that this young lady is your savior, it's fine if you didn't know before, but now that you know she's in Kyoto, you should pay her a visit. Besides, you also said that you're friends, so you should take her sightseeing in Kyoto.
Then... like herding sheep, he drove his youngest son out of the palace.
Yun Duo looked completely bewildered.
She's still eating breakfast! Besides, she's going to choose a farm today, so she doesn't have time to entertain Li Bingchen!
"Hey, aren't you welcoming me?" Li Bingchen asked, seeing Yun Duo staring blankly at him.
Although he was happy to be able to come out, he was really taken away from the palace very early in the morning!
How early...?
That's right, he hasn't eaten anything, morning or night!
Zhou Huiyu was overjoyed and, without waiting for Yun Duo's reply, hurriedly responded, "Welcome, welcome! How could we not welcome you? Our Duo'er just left the palace yesterday. While she was still in the car, she told me and her father that she had met a good friend she had known for a long time, and that she really hoped His Highness would come to our house as a guest."
"Your Highness must have left very early, right? Did you not have a good breakfast? Would you like to have breakfast with our Duo'er? Our breakfast may not be as refined as the royal palace's, but it's still very delicious."
Hearing Zhou Huiyu say that Yun Duo had told her parents about meeting him as soon as she left the palace yesterday, and that he was her "good friend," he was a little happy. In addition, he was indeed hungry, and since Zhou Huiyu said that he and Yun Duo should have breakfast together, he only hesitated for two seconds before nodding and saying, "Then I'll trouble you, Madam Gu."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all." Zhou Huiyu shook her head with a smile and looked at Li Bingchen warmly, saying, "Your Highness, please have a seat. I'll have them bring you some breakfast. Does Your Highness have any preferences or dietary restrictions?"
Li Bingchen immediately nodded and said, "Thank you, Madam Gu. I'll just eat the same as Yun Duo. I don't have any dietary restrictions. By the way, you can call me Bingchen, Madam. There's no need to be so polite."
Zhou Huiyu nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, Bingchen." She paused for a moment, then continued: "Bingchen, if you don't mind, you can call me Aunt Zhou, just like our Yunduo does."
“Aunt Zhou,” Li Bingchen said readily.
Zhou Huiyu was even happier. After having breakfast delivered to Li Bingchen, she told the two children to eat well and then left without disturbing them.
Li Bingchen felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason. After Zhou Huiyu left, he looked at Yun Duo and asked, "Yun Duo, why is your mother so enthusiastic? I feel like something's off."
Yun Duo, now back to 'normal', glanced at Li Bingchen and said, "Don't worry, she's definitely not like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law and getting happier the more she looks at him."
"Cough cough cough cough..." Li Bingchen was choked by Yun Duo's words. After coughing for a while, he gave Yun Duo a resentful look.
What are you saying? They're so young! Mrs. Gu... oh, no, Aunt Zhou! Aunt Zhou certainly wouldn't think that way!
He just found it strange.
