Hearing this, Yun Zhizhi blinked her bright eyes, and two similar faces instantly appeared in her mind.

"Of course I remember! Back when we set up a night stall in front of Lishan Academy, those two brothers would sneak out under the cover of darkness to buy some spicy hot pot."

After a brief pause, she frowned slightly, a puzzled look on her face, and then asked, "But... why are they there to help us move things?"

He Yang covered his mouth with his hands, trying hard to stifle a laugh and responded, "Haha, they must be annoyed by our slow pace and can't wait to enjoy their lunch boxes!"

It was just as He Yang said. Dasha and Ersha stood aside, their stomachs rumbling with hunger, but they were too embarrassed to urge them to hurry up.

Finally, the two of them couldn't hold back their temper anymore and ran over to help.

"Lazy Yangyang, please remind the people in charge of distributing the food to give these two brothers more dishes."

"Okay!" He Yang agreed readily.

At this moment, Yun Zhizhi inadvertently looked ahead and her eyes happened to meet the handsome man walking towards her.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes and cried out in surprise: "Master Qi, you...why are you here?"

Shouldn't he attend the grand court meeting today?

How did he appear in this place? Did the grand court meeting end so early?

Qi Yize smiled slightly, raised his index finger to his lips, made a silencing gesture, and whispered, "Shh—be quiet, don't make a sound."

"I was feeling a little unwell today, so I asked the Emperor for leave and did not attend the grand court meeting. Miss Yun, please keep this a secret for me and do not let Yun Jin and Zi Hao know about it."

Yun Zhizhi looked up and down at Qi Yize in front of her.

I understood it instantly.

Look at how energetic and radiant he looks. How does he look sick?

Needless to say, this guy must have pretended to be sick on purpose just to be able to come here and have a box lunch.

Thinking of this, Yun Zhizhi couldn't help but smile and nodded in response, "Yeah, I understand. I will definitely not tell anyone, and I will also ask Master Xuanzhen and the others to keep it a secret."

Qi Yize raised the corners of his mouth, sketching a faint smile, and said proudly: "Thank you, Miss Yun. In this way, my food luck today will surpass Yun Jin and Zi Hao."

Although his voice was not loud when he spoke just now, He Yang, who was standing next to him, had very sharp ears and heard everything clearly.

A sly smile flashed across He Yang's face, and he said, "Hehe, that might not be the case. The boss recently sent someone to deliver three boxes of lunch to the palace."

"From my perspective, the Sixth Prince and Young Master Qin are probably already feasting on their food."

Hearing this, Qi Yize's smile instantly became a little stiff.

Oh no, I was so careless!

Why didn't I expect that Miss Yun would actually send someone to the palace to deliver food?

Moreover, it is very likely that the two of them will taste this delicacy faster than me, who pretended to be sick and came to eat the lunch box. It was really a bad idea.

Thinking of this, Qi Yize couldn't help but regret it.

If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have made excuses to be absent today.

If Yun Jin and Zihao knew about this, especially Zihao, with his temper, he would definitely laugh at me mercilessly.

Then, He Yang added another stab: "Grandfather Qi and Grandmother Qi are probably enjoying the lunch box that the boss specially sent over."

After hearing this, Qi Yize muttered to himself: This Fatty He is such a gossip!

After Yun Zhizhi noticed the change in his expression, she quickly pulled He Yang's sleeve and lowered her voice: "Alright, stop talking."

If we continue, Master Qi will probably become emo.

The magnificent Yonghe Hall in the imperial palace seemed exceptionally peaceful at this moment.

It was lunchtime, and sunlight streamed into the hall through the carved window lattices, casting patches of mottled light and shadow.

Following the emperor's majestic announcement - dismissal of court, the officials who were originally sitting stood up and walked in an orderly manner towards the nearby Yangxin Palace.

The aroma of food had already filled the Yangxin Hall.

These delicacies from land and sea were carefully prepared by the imperial kitchen.

For officials, the monthly grand court meeting was undoubtedly the happiest moment when they had the opportunity to taste the delicacies prepared by the chefs from the imperial kitchen.

The Minister of Revenue walked briskly and chatted and laughed with the Governor beside him.

"I really miss the roasted deer tendons and lion's head prepared by the imperial chef. These two dishes still linger in my memory."

After saying that, he couldn't help smacking his lips a few times.

The Governor smiled slightly, stroked his beard and replied, "Haha, Lord Yi is absolutely right. To be honest, I love every dish made by this imperial chef!"

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Revenue immediately perked up and nodded repeatedly in agreement, "That's right! You know, the most skilled chefs in the entire Chuyun Kingdom are all employed in this imperial kitchen."

“How could anyone not like the meals they prepared?”

The two were chatting happily, but they didn't notice that Zhao Yunjin and Qin Zihao, who were walking behind them, were hearing their entire conversation.

Qin Zihao leaned close to Zhao Yunjin's ear and whispered, "What they just said is not quite right. Miss Yun's cooking skills are superb, on par with the imperial chefs. She's the one who slipped through the net because she didn't work in the imperial kitchen!"

Zhao Yunjin just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

He now particularly wanted to try the lunch boxes she was selling at the stall this time.

pity……

At this moment, Zhao San appeared in front of them like a gust of wind: "My lord, Miss Yun just sent someone to deliver three boxes of lunch. I have asked the maid to set the dishes."

"You and Young Master Qin can enjoy it as soon as you arrive at the Yangxin Palace."

The corners of Zhao Yunjin's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly: "Yeah."

It was a surprising surprise, but he loved it!

At this moment, he missed Yun Zhizhi especially.

I wonder how her sales at the stall at the Haibei District wharf are doing?

Qi Yize grinned at him: "Thanks to you, I am lucky enough to taste this novel lunch box today."

"Miss Yun is so thoughtful. She even prepared a portion for me and Yi Ze. It's a pity that guy didn't have the chance to enjoy it!"

Zhao Yunjin's voice was deep and rich: "Not necessarily."

Qi Yize frowned slightly, not quite understanding what he meant.

Forget it, forget about that guy.

After the two of them finished talking, they quickened their pace and walked towards the Yangxin Palace.
