After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

The two could not comprehend Ye Yuwu's emotions and tears at that moment.

"Girl, don't scare people like that again!" Huaping pouted, looking unhappy.

"Oh, Huaping, I'm so sorry, I promise it won't happen again." After saying this playfully, she used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of Huaping's food.

When Ye Yuwu accidentally turned her head, she happened to see Qi Jingyue's expression. Knowing that she had done something wrong, Ye Yuwu used the serving chopsticks to put a piece of food on his plate and said ingratiatingly, "Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Seeing her nonchalant and carefree demeanor, Qi Jingyue let out a difficult breath.

Knowing he had no right to criticize her, he could only vent his frustrations through the food.

He took a vicious bite of the vegetables and chewed slowly.

This chewing made the Crown Prince, who originally disliked eating vegetables, light up.

So fresh, so tender—that was the immediate thought that reached his mind.

The umami flavor of the bone broth has been absorbed by the vegetable leaves, resulting in a well-balanced and very delicious taste.

Not only Qi Jingyue, but even Hua Ping, who was standing to the side, was amazed by its deliciousness.

They didn't think much of it when they saw Ye Yuwu eating it; they just thought the pot he had made was so unique that they were only eating it for fun and interesting reasons. Little did they expect that the taste of the food cooked in this pot would be quite good.

While they were still in surprise, Ye Yuwu had already devoured a large bowl of food.

The two, still in a daze, realized that the vegetables and meat in the pot were almost gone, so they joined the scramble for them.

No wonder people often say that eating is like fighting a war.

The hidden guards were stunned. Was this still their aloof and self-possessed Crown Prince?

At the same time, they were also very curious whether the food and meat cooked in this strange cauldron would taste good.

Otherwise, why would His Highness the Crown Prince be competing with these two commoner women for Qi vegetables?

You must know that His Highness the Crown Prince is extremely particular about etiquette!

Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince does not have a great appetite.

Unaware that the Crown Prince, who was perceived by his own guards as having little appetite, was actually scrambling for food, he was quite pleased with himself for managing to grab the last piece of vegetable.

"Hey, don't rush, we can cook another pot. There are vegetables and meat right here, just cook whatever you like!" Ye Yuwu's eyes widened.

She never expected that when she looked up while eating the food in her bowl, the food was almost gone. She couldn't compete with the serving chopsticks at all!

She, a modern person, couldn't even outmaneuver two ancient people! What a disgrace!

However, seeing that the two of them enjoyed the food made her very happy, and she felt that she had some connection with this dynasty.

Autumn days are unusually short, and soon it was getting late. The three of them were eating steaming hot pot in the courtyard under the bright moon and stars, and the aroma of the food wafted out of the courtyard.

The guards outside the courtyard were also drawn in by the aroma, but their years of professional training prevented them from swallowing, lest they be discovered.

The three people in the courtyard remained silent, except for the clatter of their bowls and chopsticks as they ate.

Because it is autumn, there are only a few kinds of vegetables and meats to choose from this season. Although the variety is not as rich as it is now, hot pot can cook "everything"!

Most importantly, it fulfilled her wish to eat hot pot, so she had no regrets.

After eating, Ye Yuwu's stomach was bulging, and the two people next to her weren't much better off.

Hua Ping and Ye Yuwu were both clutching their bloated stomachs, while Qi Jingyue, always well-mannered, made no unusual movements and was still picking at the food in the pot.

"Girl, this is so delicious!" Huaping couldn't help but smack her lips, seemingly still wanting more, but her stomach, which was about to burst, was telling her that she really couldn't eat anymore.

"If you want to eat it, invite everyone to come next time." The most important thing about hot pot is the atmosphere, the atmosphere of everyone gathered together.

Actually, this hot pot broth wasn't as delicious as the modern kind, but since one modern person hadn't eaten it in a long time and the other was someone from ancient times who had never tasted it, they found it incredibly delicious.

"Huaping, what do you think about selling this Wen Ding in teahouses?"

"Of course! Something this delicious will surely be loved by the people of Bianjing." Huaping was confident about it. She might have had doubts before eating it, but now they had all vanished.

"Qingming, what about you? What do you think?" We should at least conduct a "public opinion poll"!

"Okay." Qi Jingyue sparingly uttered a single word.

Ye Yuwu didn't expect him to say much. He was just like that, seemingly cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She had gotten used to him being like that.

Meanwhile, the guards were thinking to themselves that if Cha Yunhe were to be served in the Wen Ding, they would definitely have to try it to see what it tasted like.

After all, it was personally selected by His Highness the Crown Prince!

Ye Yuwu felt that the opinions of these two people were not enough. She would let everyone in the bookstore also take a look and then see if they should make a Wen Ding.

The colder the weather, the more popular the Wen Ding (a type of cauldron) becomes.

But she still longed to make a spicy hot pot; otherwise, wouldn't her specially crafted yin-yang hot pot be a waste?!

His Highness the Crown Prince left Ye Yuwu's courtyard with satisfaction. He seemed to be returning to the bookstore, but in reality, he was returning to the Eastern Palace under the stars to prepare for handling state affairs.

As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, Qi Jingyue suppressed the smile that had been playing on his lips and resumed his cold and sinister demeanor.

A guard suddenly emerged from the shadows and knelt before him. "Your Highness, the Imperial Censor has committed suicide in prison."

Unexpectedly, Qi Jingyue raised an eyebrow.

How did he commit suicide?

"Poison was hidden in his sleeve."

Qi Jingyue sneered, "It seems someone doesn't want him to live anymore."

Otherwise, how could someone hide poison in their sleeve without being detected? The Imperial Guards are not to be trifled with.

"Protect her well." Qi Jingyue gracefully departed.

The kneeling guard naturally knew who His Highness the Crown Prince was referring to.

The guards were puzzled as to what extraordinary qualities this woman possessed that had won His Highness's favor.

But after a while, someone behind him gave him the answer.

"This woman's identity is not simple. Your Highness may not necessarily have a good impression of her, but may just want to show goodwill and see what she is up to."

Otherwise, his attitude wouldn't have changed so quickly at the beginning; His Highness is not a master who can be easily guessed.

"Yiran?! When did you get back?" The guard turned his head and recognized the familiar figure at a glance from among the identical masks.

The next day, Ye Yuwu received the news and hurriedly ran back to Chayunhe.

An Xing saw her and quickly went up to explain, "I don't know when it started, but people have been causing trouble, and many customers are afraid to come in."

Since An Xing was transferred by Ye Yuwu to temporarily manage the teahouse, he had never seen such a scene before.

Ye Yuwu followed the gaze to the center of the hall, where several men were smashing things inside the teahouse with menacing expressions.

The thugs Ye Yuwu hired were no match for them.

"Have you notified the authorities?" Ye Yuwu turned to ask An Xing.

"We've sent someone to report to the authorities; they won't be here anytime soon."

Ye Yuwu nodded in understanding, but she couldn't understand how someone could be so rampant right under the emperor's nose.

There must be a reason for vandalizing a teahouse, right?
