Liu Wuji and the others looked at each other and smiled.
“Stop fooling around. Let’s eat!” Lin Xiaoyue was amused and glanced at the Sixth Princess.
Only then did the Sixth Princess get everyone to start eating.
The dishes for today’s hotpot were personally brought out of the palace by the Sixth Princess.
After she bought it, Lin Xiaoyue brought her and Zhao Shanshan to deal with it.
Of course, the Sixth Princess and Zhao Shanshan mainly helped her with the ch.o.r.es.
When the dishes were almost ready, Lin Xiaoyue began to boil the soup.
During this period, the servants in the Imperial Advisor’s residence who smelled the fragrance were so tempted that they wanted to cry.
Soon, the tender meat slices in the pot were cooked, and everyone took a piece each.
They dipped it in the sauce and ate it.
A fresh and spicy taste instantly filled his mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth.
Liu Wuji, Liang Chengcai, and the Sixth Princess were not as impressed. They had tried hotpot before.
Although the hotpot this time tasted better than the barbecue, they were already mentally prepared.
It was Mo Fei’s first time eating hotpot.
After tasting it, he was stunned.
In the first two bites, as he was not used to the taste of chili, he felt that the taste was a little stimulating.
However, after two mouthfuls, he found that he could not stop.
The spicier it was, the more he wanted to eat it. He couldn’t stop eating.
“This spicy beef is delicious! Try it!” The Sixth Princess suddenly said. Then, she helped Lin Xiaoyue pick up a piece of food.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled awkwardly.
“I’ll do it myself.” She replied.
She couldn’t take this enthusiasm.
“That duck sausage is not bad either. Try it.” Then, she said to the Sixth Princess.
When the Sixth Princess heard this, she quickly picked up the duck sausage.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue didn’t like her putting food into her bowl, she didn’t continue.
Then, she asked for everyone’s comments on the dishes.
Everyone’s evaluation was of course extremely high.
Especially Mo Fei, who said that this was the most special and delicious feast he had ever eaten.
“Since everyone likes hotpot so much, why don’t you open a hotpot restaurant in the capital?” The Sixth Princess suddenly said.
“If you open a restaurant, business will definitely be good!”
Mo Fei and the others echoed.
Facing everyone’s expectant gazes, Lin Xiaoyue refused.
“Forget about the restaurant. After 1 finish writing the Arithmetic Book, I will return to Qingshi Town.”
She had thought of opening a restaurant in the capital, but it was not a hotpot restaurant. Instead, it was a chain of Liu’s Express.
But at the moment, she wasn’t very keen on it anymore.
With their family’s relationship with the Yan Emperor, it was better to stay away.
Hiding in Qingshi Town, the Emperor was far away. Even if he discovered something was wrong, he could make preparations as soon as possible.
Everyone was disappointed.
Liu Wuji thought about it, and the thought in his mind became even more firm.
After the meal, Liu Wuji left the Imperial Advisor’s residence.
Imperial Palace, Hall of Diligence.
Liu Wuji bowed and stood below Emperor Yan without moving.
Emperor Yan, who was sitting on the throne, had a gloomy expression and was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, Emperor Yan finally spoke.
“I thought that you would never tell me this secret.”
He actually took the initiative to be honest with him about that woman back then.
Even about his daughter.
Liu Wuji cupped his hands at Emperor Yan.
“Your Majesty is perceptive. I know that these things cannot be hidden from you.”
Emperor Yan’s heart trembled.
He guessed that the Imperial Advisor must have found some clues.
Now, if he was willing to be honest with him, wasn’t he also reconciling with him?
He begged him to spare his daughter and granddaughter’s lives in exchange for his forgiveness for attacking the Zhang family back then.
Back then, he had attacked the Zhang family and caused him to leave the palace for more than ten years. In fact, he had once regretted it.
Later on, when he returned to the palace, it was because of this matter that there seemed to be a wall between him and the Imperial Advisor.
Now, he was willing to put it behind them.
Although he was begging him to let go of that girl and her mother, wasn’t it also asking for a reconciliation?
Thinking of this, Emperor Yan sighed.
“Fate plays tricks on people. Back then…” Emperor Yan paused for a moment.
“Fine.”
“Since that girl is your granddaughter, she is considered my junior.”
“Regarding the Arithmetic Book, I will not make things difficult for her.”
“In addition, 1 will also reward the Li family and let them move into the capital, so that you can see them often.”
Liu Wuji was stunned and quickly refused.
“No…”
Emperor Yan frowned.
Liu Wuji hurriedly bowed.
“When they enter the capital, they will be targeted by many. Don’t let my selfishness affect the Great Yan..”
