After being forced to travel through time by accident, I became famous in the entertainment industry

Mingkang and Butler Zheng quickly returned to Shen Yu's courtyard carrying lunch boxes.

The cook made a lot of dishes. Mingkang was holding two of them and Butler Zheng was holding one.

The dagger and poisoned wine given by Emperor Showa were still placed on the stone table in the courtyard.

Shen Yu was still sitting on the stone bench, relying on the cloak draped over him to keep warm.

"Your Highness, why don't you go inside and eat? It's too cold outside."

The cold weather is one thing, but there are things on the stone table outside that no one wants to touch, so it’s better to just leave it there for now.

Shen Yu stood up and said, "Let's go, don't let the food get cold."

He walked into the house first.

All the servants in the palace had been sent away, and no one was looking after the charcoal fire in the house. After an afternoon, the charcoal fire had long gone out, and the house was as freezing cold as outside.

Mingkang followed Shen Yu into the house. He hurriedly put the lunch box on the table, rubbing his hands and ran towards the charcoal brazier.

The charcoal fire must be lit quickly. The prince is not in good health now and cannot be left cold.

Shen Yu's house is very big. Even if Ming Kang is very fast, it will take a long time for the charcoal fire to warm up the whole house.

"Mingkang, the prince is calling you to eat," Butler Zheng took the dishes out of the lunch box and saw Mingkang watching over the charcoal fire in the study, so he walked over to urge him.

"Uncle Zheng, you eat with the prince first. Once the charcoal fire is stable, I'll come over and join you."

Mingkang took the fire tongs and stirred the charcoal in the basin, gathered the burning charcoal in the middle, and picked up the unlit charcoal around it and put it on the fire.

Time is running out, and the only way to warm up the house faster is to burn the charcoal fire vigorously.

Firstly, he was afraid that the fire was not strong enough. Secondly, he was referring to the servants who served the prince and had never eaten at the same table with the prince. It was unreasonable, so he was reluctant to go over.

Butler Zheng didn't care what Mingkang's reason was. He walked up to him, snatched the fire tongs from his hand, threw them aside, and pulled Mingkang to the dining table.

"Now that there's no one else in the palace, you can sit down and eat without hesitation. You might not be able to enjoy such delicious food in the future." As he got closer to the table, Butler Zheng's voice became quieter. Finally, in a voice only Ming Kang could hear, he said, "Let's have a good New Year's Eve dinner with the prince today."

Mingkang was pulled up suddenly. He struggled a little, but couldn't resist Uncle Zheng and had to follow silently. After hearing Uncle Zheng's last words, Mingkang quickened his pace.

When I arrived at the dining table, Shen Yu had already sat down and was setting the table.

Seeing this, Ming Kang quickly stepped forward and said, "Don't move, my lord. I'll do it."

Shen Yu stopped Ming Kang's action and said, "There is no prince and no servant today. You are all friends who have been with me for a long time. I can do this little thing."

"This……"

"Alright, you and Uncle Zheng, please sit down and have your meal. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold."

It was Mingkang's first time to sit at the same table with the prince to eat. He was a little nervous and ate very slowly, only daring to pick up the dishes in front of him.

When Shen Yu saw his expression, he understood what was going on. He immediately picked up the dish in front of him with a chopstick and put it into Mingkang's bowl.

"The cooking skills of the chef in the palace are always good. You should try it more often. You won't be able to taste this flavor again in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Eat as much as you want, don't be too restrictive."

After hearing what Shen Yu said, Mingkang became much bolder.

The three of them ate quietly during this meal. The cook prepared a lot, but housekeeper Zheng and Shen Yu did not eat much, only eating until they were 70% to 80% full. Mingkang, on the other hand, was not very old and was in the growth period, so he ate a lot. In order not to waste it, he would eat the last piece of meat even if he was full.

Shen Yu just looked at him like he was looking at his own nephew, his eyebrows and eyes soft, "Today is New Year's Eve, so I let you eat so much. If it were any other day, don't be greedy and eat too much, your body won't be able to bear it."

He had no intention of blaming Mingkang.

On the contrary, Mingkang felt a little embarrassed when he saw the plate that he had eaten clean.

"I know." Mingde was straightforward and quick-witted. He put all the plates on the table back into the lunch box.

Butler Zheng stood up and said, "I'll go boil some water. The prince is going out today, so why not take a good shower?"

"Don't bother. Why don't you go boil a kettle of hot water?"

"Yes."

Butler Zheng received the order, and Mingkang went to the kitchen with him.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Shen Yu entered the study. Because the charcoal brazier was in the study, the temperature in the study was much warmer than other places.

He went to the desk, ground his thoughts, took out a pen and paper, and began to write.

Xu Zhao was curious about what he was doing and wanted to go over to take a look, but just as he was about to reach the study, he was blocked by an invisible wall and could not get through no matter how hard he tried.

After many attempts, she chose to give up and stood in the corner, looking at Shen Yu quietly.

Shen Yu wrote one piece of paper after another, and finally stuffed them into two envelopes and placed them on the desk.

After doing all this, Shen Yu stood in front of the desk and stared at the two letters on the table for a long time without moving.

Only after knowing that Butler Zheng walked into the house with a pot of freshly boiled water did Shen Yu leave the study.

The moment Shen Yu left the study, the mysterious wall blocking Xu Zhao seemed to disappear. She stepped into the study to check. After confirming that there was no obstruction, she quickly walked to the desk.

There were two letters stacked on top of each other on the table, with only the top one showing.

It only said: Written by Qinghe himself.

As for which one was below, Xu Zhao raised his hand to touch it, but his hand went straight through the envelope and could not touch the envelope above at all, making it impossible to check who the other one was written to.

No matter how curious I am, I don't know where to start.

Seeing this, she had no choice but to give up.

When she walked out of the study, there was no one inside. Xu Zhao searched the whole room but couldn't find Shen Yu. He became more and more anxious.

It's so cold today. Why don't you stay indoors? Where have you been?

Unable to find it inside the house, Xu Zhao had to look outside.

As soon as she went out, she saw Shen Yu sitting in the yard and she breathed a sigh of relief.

At this special time point, we still have to keep up with him.

Xu Zhao sat on the stone bench opposite Shen Yu. The dagger and poisoned wine were still placed on the table, which looked particularly annoying. If possible, she really wanted to sweep all these things to the ground.

Shen Yu's gaze was towards the sky.

There is no moon tonight. Without the moonlight, it is pitch black all around. Occasionally, you can see a few stars twinkling in the distance.

"Chaoxi."

On a quiet night, Shen Yu suddenly spoke.

Only Shen Yu would call her by this name. Xu Zhao was somewhat uncomfortable with it and for a moment she almost didn't realize that Shen Yu was calling her.

When she reacted, she turned her head and met Shen Yu's eyes.

Xu Zhao: "Can you see me?"

Shen Yu was speechless.

A feeling of loss suddenly surged into my heart.

It turned out that he still couldn't see it. For a moment, Xu Zhao felt that Shen Yu could see him.

But in Shen Yu's vision, he looked at the empty seat beside him, "It would be great if you could be by my side."
