The King's Beautiful Chef
Entered the Imperial Palace

Peony Flower Building is not a brothel*ran like the Green House and the Red House. Even so, there are still women dancers to entertain guests, wine and snacks served.

But the place is clean. Male or female guests are not served by comfort women and men. At least the Peony Flower Building was only to make the guests let go of fatigue and calm the chaotic mind.

In the Peony Flower Building also has some scholars who are experts in calming some visitors who are troubled at work, home or other problems.

At least as long as it did not concern political or palace matters, the scholars Mo Huazhu employed did not mind.

“Yuyu did come there. You can also come if you are bored. We also have some talented, single and handsome young scholars. If you want to find a prospective husband, scholars are also the best choice,” explained Mo Huazhu very proud when talking about his own work.

Actually Chen Sisi did not really mind the background of the man he was going to marry. But according to his knowledge, scholars do look gentle, polite and wiser in words or deeds.

Scholars sometimes spread humble smiles and rarely resort to violence. Unfortunately they did not develop inner power science or martial arts. They also cannot trade and can only enter political affairs. In other words, they are employed in government offices.

Not without reason, but the imperial rules were indeed such. They could only choose, whether to become a scholar or a merchant. Most families choose their children to be scholars rather than traders.

If it successfully passed the imperial examination, the status of the family would increase and be respected by many. Being a scholar is not an easy thing, but the future will be very promising.

But that does not mean being a trader or other entrepreneur is worthless. To be admitted being a sword might make a lot of money. But their status remained a family of merchants, slightly inferior to scholars.

If it was smart to cultivate the ideas and benefits that existed, the merchant family could also become a respected noble.

This time Mo Huazhu's voice sounded again. “Let me tell you. When Yuyu comes to my place, the female visitors will try to get close to him. But due to Yuyu's rare health condition, he felt disgusted when he saw them.”

Mo Huazhu's voice sounded like it was worrying about Tianlong Heyu, but it was actually a little mocking. This is not a serious matter, just a joke among friends.

Unfortunately Tianlong Heyu was already dark-faced at this moment. This Mo Huazhu came not only to hitchhike breakfast but also said a lot of nonsense.

Fortunately, breakfast passed by so quickly. Mo Huazhu did not leave any food in his bowl. Even the last dumpling was eaten by him. He was worried that if he ate like this every day for a month, his weight would increase.

“Prepare to leave for palace.” Tianlong Heyu told Chen Sisi.

“Do not worry, I have prepared the goods sent grandfather last night and just left.”

Tianlong Heyu nodded. “Then I will go to the study room first and ask Butler Sun to tell the guard to prepare the train.”

Mo Huazhu who knew if the two were going to go to the palace, finally chose to follow. He has no important activities today. As a businessman, he was not as busy as the farmers in the fields.

The man volunteered to help lift Chen Sisi's item into the carriage.

Travel takes less than a stick of incense (approximately 20 – 30 minutes). During that time, Chen Sisi would occasionally look out the window to see the scenery.

There were many people along the official road. When the train passes, of course they will go to the edge naturally. Merchants, restaurants, hospitals and other shops lined up almost along the road they traveled.

“There are many things in a big city. The price here is definitely more expensive compared to other small cities,”, said Chen Sisi.

Mo Huazhu nodded. “Crue. One or two taels of silver for the farmers were enough to make ends meet for a year.

Under the silver taels there were still copper and penny coins. Chen Sisi also knew this.

However as it neared the main street of the Imperial Palace, the crowd started to dwindle and eventually did not exist. It turned out that this was indeed deliberately arranged by the guards around the palace. The territory of the imperial palace was indeed forbidden to be visited at will.

Upon his arrival there, the guard recognized the war king's carriage and immediately greeted him respectfully. Then the gates of the Imperial Palace opened wide for him and the carriage entered unhindered.

The news of Tianlong Heyu's arrival instantly reached the ears of Emperor Tian who was currently in court. The middle-aged man immediately ended the court session and went to the main hall to greet his son.

The few princes who were also involved in the court naturally went to take a look. It has been a long time since the brothers have greeted each other. Some princes who are married and have children are more measured.

By the time Tianlong Heyu came to the main hall, Emperor Tian was already sitting on his throne, showing the posture of an emperor and a dignified father. There were also several ministers present. A eunuch shouted out Tianlong Heyu's arrival respectfully.

“Son has seen Father Emperor,” greetings Tianlong Heyu still gives courtesy.

Chen Sisi was at a loss as to whether he should kneel or not. But Tianlong Heyu just glanced at him, of course there was no need to kneel. He followed the form of greeting just like Tianlong Heyu did. Mo Huazhu was also the same.

“Sisi has seen Emperor. Long live the Emperor,” said the girl also did not forget the etiquette taught by her grandfather.

Mo Huazhu was no exception.

Emperor Tian nodded lightly, his expression displeased or angry, extremely controlled. But no one knew that he was already shouting joy in his heart. The boy finally came home, not only not thin but seemingly more fleshy.

Looks like life in the northern military barracks isn't that bad? Emperor Tian was unwilling to think about the food supplies that were always being sent to the border. During the previous winter, the food and ration troops were much reduced.

It was not that Emperor Tian was unwilling to send more, but a food crisis was everywhere. Prolonged winters left farmers unable to accurately determine when to plant and harvest the following year.

“This is Yuyu, it has not been back for a long time. It's good to finally get home and rest. That child, Chen Yelang will also come today. Did you make a promise to come the same day? Very coincidentally,” Emperor Tian said a little jokingly.

This time Chen Sisi could not help but frown. This impression of Emperor Tian did not seem to be the evil and cunning type, but ... slightly refrain from smiling?
