After paying respects to the ancestral tablets in the shrine, Ye Chen followed Liu Jin into the courtyard prepared for him. Looking at the empty plaque above the door, Ye Chen curiously asked, "Father, doesn’t this courtyard have a name?"
Liu Jin was pleased by Ye Chen's use of "father." He smiled and replied, "This is prepared for you. Whatever you want to call it, I will have someone write it up for you."
Hearing this, Ye Chen felt warmth in his heart. King Huai'an truly was a loving father.
Ye Chen chuckled and stepped inside. Although it was winter, peach trees were in bloom, leaving him astonished. What was this?
Seeing Ye Chen's wide eyes, Liu Jin explained with satisfaction, "This is a hot spring specially brought in for you. This courtyard is like spring all year round; it won’t be cold. There’s a hot spring below as well. After all the hardships you've endured these years and your time in the military, you need to recuperate and take care of your health. The hot spring water can help alleviate your Wet Cold Ailments."
Ye Chen was at a loss for words to express his excitement. Such a wonderful father made him regret not meeting him sooner.
The room was decorated extravagantly; even the screen was embroidered with gold thread and silver wire using double-sided embroidery—something that must have taken countless skilled artisans to accomplish.
A soft cushion covered the stool, and there were blankets everywhere on the floor. All the cups and utensils were inlaid with jade and gold filigree. Ye Chen exclaimed repeatedly, "Wow! Father, you’re so wealthy! I’ve never seen anything like this before. Even the cups at the Regent's Palace don’t have carvings as delicate and beautiful as those in our royal residence."
Liu Jin basked in Ye Chen's praise. He took out a token from his pocket and handed it to Ye Chen. "This is the symbol of our family’s treasury. Take whatever you want without hesitation; if something isn’t available, just tell me, and I’ll get it for you."
At this, Ye Chen felt genuinely moved to tears.
Meanwhile, the steward and servant who had been watching the father-son duo smiled and said, "Heir Apparent, these fine things have been prepared by His Highness for over a year now. You should thank him properly."
A year ago? Suddenly, Ye Chen recalled that he had just entered the Military Camp a year ago. Did Pei Guanjing inform King Huai'an of his identity back then? Had he been acting all this time in front of him while staying in the Military Camp?
Forget it, I won't think about him now; my father is the most important thing.
Ye Chen smiled and said to Liu Jin, "Father, don't worry. I won't take your good things for granted. From now on, I'll make delicious food for you every day to show my filial piety, so you'll never get tired of eating."
Liu Jin laughed heartily, "What belongs to Father is also for our Chen'er. You don't need to think too much about it; there's nothing wrong with taking these things. Don't listen to him if he says otherwise." As he spoke, he pretended to be angry and glanced at the butler nearby.
The butler had grown up alongside Liu Jin and was aware of the matters between him and Lin Feifei. The moment he laid eyes on Ye Chen, he was certain that this Ye Chen was his young master. The boy's face bore a softness reminiscent of Lin Feifei's beauty and a handsomeness that echoed their prince's charm. He wouldn't believe it if someone said they weren't his son.
Knowing that his master was joking, Wang Butler also chuckled and bowed, saying, "This old servant acknowledges his mistake."
Ye Chen thought Liu Jin was genuinely angry with Wang Butler and didn't want to offend anyone on his first day in the royal residence. He quickly helped Wang Butler up and turned to Liu Jin, saying, "Father, your royal residence doesn't have a mistress. Uncle Wang has helped you a lot; how can you blame him? The delicious food I make should be shared by everyone, including Uncle Wang."
Realizing that Ye Chen was defending Wang Butler, Liu Jin felt a twinge of jealousy. "What? Are you not going to cook for Father anymore?"
Ye Chen stepped forward, took his arm, and shook it gently. "How could that be? The food I make for Father will always be the best."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jin and those around them burst into laughter, while Ye Chen smiled sincerely at them.
It felt wonderful; none of this was a dream.
At this moment, he had his own family. As for Pei Guanjing—he suddenly thought of him. Ye Chen's thoughts broke off abruptly; he didn't know how he was doing now.
