This palace is from modern day 2

Chapter 48
When Nangong Hui came to see me, it was already evening, and this moment really was... a long time.

"I'm hungry." He rubbed his belly, walked into the hall and looked at me pitifully, which made him look a little childish.

My motherly brilliance bloomed immediately, "Then I'll ask someone to prepare dinner."

He was not at all embarrassed, and nodded very vigorously, "Okay."

Looking at his leisurely meal, without the ruthlessness of 'he's hungry' at all, I suddenly felt that he just came here to eat, right?
"Eat more." Seeing that he is still so gentle, I can't help feeling a little wicked.Jiacai filled his rice bowl completely.

He doesn't shirk, he eats what I eat, and he is not picky at all.Halfway through the meal, I heard the eunuch outside shouting "The emperor is here".
I was stunned for a long time before I heard Nangong Hui's cool reminder, "He's here."

"Um, oh."

I stood up, Nan Gongchen walked in from outside the hall, seeing Nan Gonghui eating at my place, his face was a bit ugly.

I count, how many days have I not seen him?Fourteen days, or thirteen days?

"I'm full." Nangong Hui gracefully put down the bowl and chopsticks, and stood up.

I looked at the bowl he had emptied, and was stunned, "It's finished so soon?"

He nodded, "Yeah."

Looking at me, he saluted Nangong Chen, "Greetings to the emperor." I don't know whether it was intentional or not, he rarely called Nangong Chen the emperor's brother.

"Yeah." Nangong Chen responded lukewarmly, making it clear that he hated Nangong Hui to the end.

"Hui'er still hasn't finished her homework, so I'm leaving now." After saying that, before I could say anything, she walked out.

...Looking at Nangongchen, but I couldn't find words for a while, I looked away, caught a glimpse of the half-eaten dinner just now, and asked, "Have you eaten dinner yet?"

He shook his head.

"Then... let's go together." My heart was cold, when did he and I become so stiff and strange?
