Border Cook

"Okay, let's not talk about fishing anymore, let's talk about something else." The emperor said with a smile, "I'm new to this farm, and I don't know much about it, but I think it's very interesting. How about you tell me some interesting stories about this farm?"

"Okay."

The two children agreed immediately, but immediately became troubled. "But there are so many interesting things in this village, I don't know where to start."

"That's not as good as..."

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "How about I tell you about your parents first?"

"Our parents?" The two little ones looked at each other and finally looked at the emperor.

"Yes, tell me about their daily lives, the interesting and fun things... yes, yes, yes, and by the way, tell me if they have ever talked about me behind my back."

The emperor really wants to know this.

He wanted to know how the shrewd Lu Qiyan and his wife, and the apple of his eye Fan Jinglan and her husband, spent their days.

They just loved this place so much that they didn't even want to live in the mansion he had given them as a reward.

"Well..." Lu Jinchen blinked, "Can you say anything?"

"Won't the Emperor blame us for speaking without restraint?" Xia Zhixuan was also a little worried.

"Children's words are innocent!" The emperor said, "I am just an old man today, not an emperor. You don't have to worry!"

"A gentleman's word."

Lu Jinchen and Xia Zhixuan said in unison and both raised their fingers.

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

The emperor was decisive and stretched out his hand to make a pinky promise with the two children.

One in each hand, no delay.

After they made a pinky promise and stamped the agreement, the two kids felt much more at ease. After thinking for a moment, they started talking to each other.

"When I was four years old, I went to the mountains with my father to pick mushrooms. We picked a big basket and came back to make mushroom soup for my mother to use as the soup base for hot pot. But my mother said that the mushrooms we picked were not good enough and wanted to throw them away. My father refused and finally cooked them into soup. It turned out that the mushrooms were really poisonous. After eating it, I saw fish swimming all over the world..."

"So what happened to you in the end?" The emperor was curious about the outcome of what Lu Jinchen said.

"We?" Lu Jinchen pouted. "After what mother said, father thought it made sense, but he also thought that since we picked the mushrooms ourselves, he wanted to give it a try, so he cooked a big pot of soup and let me taste a bowl first. If it's not okay, he'll give it to mother. So I was the only one who saw the fish."

"Your father isn't afraid that something might happen to you..."

"Daddy said that Doctor Yin next door is a miracle doctor, so there is no need to be afraid. Just take a sip first and don't drink too much. You'll be fine."

emperor,"……"

"That's nothing." Xia Zhixuan curled his lips, "Brother Chen should still remember that last year, I fell off the horse and fractured my arm."

"Dad and Mom wanted to go hunting on horseback, and I insisted on going with them. Dad had no choice but to carry me on the horse's back. But when he got on the horse, he kicked me off with a sweeping kick..."

"I thought about it later and realized that my father might have felt that I was a nuisance and delayed him and mother from going hunting, so he did this on purpose."

emperor,"……"

So, although these two couples loved each other deeply, the birth of their children was purely an accident?
But they are the only two couples who can do these things.

Different from ordinary people, extraordinarily interesting.

"Anything else?" the emperor asked with great interest.

Lu Jinchen continued, "They are just ordinary little things. For example, when they go out, I help drive the carriage. When it rains, my parents share an oil-paper umbrella and I use a lotus leaf to keep out the rain. These are all very common things. We are already very used to them."

"Yes, yes." Xia Zhixuan said, "Every time Daddy comes back from the military camp, he will make all kinds of food for Mom, but every time he only gives me meat patties, saying that boys don't need to be picky about food, just eat until you are full."

"After mother got pregnant with my little sister, she was a little sleepy, so father would watch over her and not let her pick the moon. If I made a little noise, I would go out to help mother turn over a piece of land so that she could plant vegetables in the future."

"My father said that my mother is the most delicate woman, and he needs me to learn how to cook and wash clothes early so that I can take care of my mother."

"My father said the same thing, but he didn't say my mother was delicate. He just said that my mother worked very hard and asked me to be more filial. When I learned that my mother was pregnant with my sister, I was very happy and said that I would have someone to take care of my mother from now on. But my father said that my sister would be my mother's little cotton-padded jacket after she was born and would accompany her, so he asked me to take good care of both my mother and my sister."

"So I hope that if my mother gets pregnant like my aunt, she can help me give birth to a brother, so that I can be much more relaxed..."

The two of them chatted non-stop, and the emperor laughed out loud.

The laughter spread from the pond to the courtyard over there, causing the empress dowager, who was talking with the empress, Madam He, Xia Mingyue and Fan Jinglan, to raise her eyebrows.

It had been a long time since she heard her son so happy.

Insisting on having the emperor accompany her here for a walk was the right thing to do after all.

As the emperor, he holds all the power in the world and controls the lifeblood of the entire Zhou Dynasty and the people. The pressure on him is enormous.

This pressure has been on my shoulders all the time. After a long time, the first thing to collapse is my mentality.

The best thing is to relieve the boredom in your heart and forget some troubles.

The Queen Mother felt relieved and continued talking to the crowd with a smile.

Also smiling was the manager of the farm, Guo Kanglai.

He was confident that the farm he managed was the best farm in the world. He once fantasized that if one day the current emperor could take a look at the farm he managed, he would have no regrets in his life.

Now, the emperor, the queen mother, and the empress have come to his manor!

Moreover, it is obvious that he likes this place very much and wants to stay here for a while.

What kind of glory is this?

Even if he waits a hundred years later, in the underworld, if he sees his parents again, he will probably be proud!

but……

Guo Kanglai paused, and looked at Chunsheng beside him with a worried look on his face, "The emperor is old after all, and I'm afraid he can't be relied on to do things like fishing..."

Chunsheng, "!!!!"

Don't say it, really don't say it.

Uncle Guo is really bold!

But having said that, since the emperor has come to the farm, what is impossible to happen?

He also really wanted to see what the emperor would look like when he really worked.
Will they be the same as ordinary people?

Will someone bring a golden hoe here... (End of this chapter)
