When Sakai Hoshino and his daughter heard Mr. Liu's inquiry, they instinctively lowered their heads and glanced at the food and wine on the table. They smelled the rich aroma of the food and wine, and their stomachs instantly began to growl unsatisfactorily.

The mother and daughter hurriedly covered their stomachs and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

"Mr. Liu, Hoshino is not hungry."

"Sir, I am not hungry either."

Liu Mingzhi looked at the mother and daughter who were still trying to be tough. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He reached out and pushed the bowls and chopsticks next to them forward.

"Okay, talk back. Look how your stomachs growl. There are no outsiders here. You don't need to be polite. You can eat whatever you want. Only after you are full can you have the strength to visit the palace.

If I pretend to be polite to you again, I will get angry. Be obedient and pick up the bowls and chopsticks."

The mother and daughter raised their heads in unison and glanced at Liu Mingzhi, who was deliberately covering his face. They looked a little embarrassed and chuckled a few times.

"Yes, then Hoshino is welcome."

"Sakura, thank you for your hospitality, sir."

After Sakai Hoshino and his daughter picked up the bowls and chopsticks, they all looked at Liu Mingzhi. They were so proficient in Dalong's culture, so they naturally knew Dalong's rules.

The host, Liu Mingzhi, did not move his chopsticks. As guests, they naturally could not move their chopsticks first.

Liu Mingzhi picked up a piece of cold bitter gourd shreds with chopsticks and brought it to his mouth. He held the chopsticks and gestured.

"Okay, you two should eat quickly."

"Thank you sir, you're welcome to Yingzhi."

"That's right Sakuraori."

"gentlemen?"

"Sir, you didn't ask the imperial kitchen to prepare the staple food. If you feel that you are not full with only the dishes, just eat this bun with the dishes."

"Sir, is this inappropriate?"

"Nothing inappropriate, just eat."

"Yes, yes, thank you sir."

When Sakai Hoshino saw his daughter taking the bun from Mr. Liu's hand, he immediately stood up and leaned over Liu's waist to pick up a piece of soy beef and put it on Liu Mingzhi's plate.

"Mr. Liu, Hoshino and Ying Zhitian got up before dawn. As Emperor Dalong, you must have gotten up earlier than the two of us for the court meeting.

Hoshino and Sakurazhi didn't eat, so naturally you didn't eat either, so you should eat quickly.

Just tell Hoshino what dish you want to eat, and Hoshino will take the liberty of picking it up for you."

Liu Mingzhi looked at Hoshino Sakai, who seemed a little bit restless, and with a complicated expression, he picked up a chopstick of shrimp and put it in the bowl in front of her.

"Xingye, let me say it again, you don't need to be so reserved or too polite in front of me.

I treat you as a good friend, but you are so polite to me, but I feel a little uncomfortable. If you continue to be so polite, I think we won't be able to eat this breakfast."

"Liu Jun, me!"

"Hoshino, you really should learn from Sakurazhi."

Sakai Hoshino followed the direction indicated by Mr. Liu with his chopsticks and looked down at his daughter next to him. He saw his daughter eating steamed buns and vegetables with great enthusiasm.

Liu Lianniang, who was sitting next to Young Master Liu, kept holding dishes for her daughter with a smile on her face: "Miss Yingzhi, eat slowly, eat slowly, don't choke, take a sip of soup first."

Okay."

After Sakai Hoshino saw his daughter's behavior, he immediately put down his bowls and chopsticks and saluted Young Master Liu.

"Mr. Liu, I'm so sorry, Yingzhi is so rude."

"Hoshino, it's not that Sakurazhi is too rude, but that you are too polite.

Why do I feel that something is wrong with you? Although you were polite to me a few days ago, you are not as outspoken as you are now. Are you okay?"

When Sakai Hoshino heard Liudao's question, his delicate body trembled slightly, and the words that his nephew Sakai Ga had said to him before flashed through his mind.

Beiqi bit her lips in silence for a moment. Sakai Hoshino shook his head quietly, pursed his lips and sat on the stone bench again and said in a low voice: "It's okay, Hoshino is okay. Hoshino knows it's wrong. Hoshino doesn't follow Liu

You are out of sight.

Liu Jun, let’s continue eating.”

Liu Mingzhi looked at Hoshino Sakai who was chewing slowly with his bowl and chopsticks in hand. He picked up the pot and poured a glass of wine and tasted it carefully, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

From the time he retired to the present day, less than half an hour has passed. Why do I feel like this silly woman has changed into a completely different person?

She retorted in the court that the appearance she was familiar with when Goguryeo was envoying Kim Tae-eun was the one she was familiar with. Why did she look a little absent-minded now?

What happened during the few moments she left the palace?

Could it be that she felt sad and uncomfortable because this young master did not agree to the request of their Japanese mission?

Or maybe she didn't want to have anything intimate with her that went beyond the boundaries of old friends, so she was deliberately alienating herself.

No! No!

After he stopped her from interrupting, she looked at him with resentful eyes, and it was still the Sakai Hoshino she was familiar with.

If she didn't want to be entangled with him anymore, she would definitely not give him that look.

Isn't it because of this? Is it really because I didn't agree to reward them with military equipment for the mission? Is she deliberately making herself angry?

That's not right. If she was deliberately trying to get angry with him, she would just not come to the appointment, or just ignore him completely after going to the appointment. How could she be so polite in front of him?

Well, if this is not what I expected, it was probably Sakai Ga who said something to her.

"Hiccup~ Sir, Yingzhi is full."

Liu Lianniang's face lit up with joy. She picked up the small bowl and drank the cold seaweed and egg drop soup in big gulps.

"Dad, Lian Niang has finished drinking the egg drop soup."

"Ah? Ah! As long as you're full, it'll be fine, and as long as you've finished drinking, it'll be fine."

"Thank you for your hospitality, sir."

"Dad, can Lian Niang take Miss Ying Zhi to play with her now?"

"Of course you can, just pay attention to safety."

"Yeah, yeah, thank you, daddy."

"Miss Yingzhi, would you like to play in the imperial garden with Lian Niang?"

Although Hua Qiyingzhi couldn't wait to see the beautiful scenery of the imperial garden, she still raised her head and looked at her mother.

"Mother?"

Sakai Hoshino's delicate body trembled slightly. After Liu Jun's daughter and his own daughter left, only Liu Jun and himself were left on the observation deck except for the two palace maids next to them.

Maybe, as his nephew Sakai Ga said, after Mr. Liu gets what he wants from him, he should agree to the mission's request.

For a moment, Sakai Hoshino didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

If Liu Jun had not suddenly left the capital many years ago and disappeared without a trace, he and I might...

It's a pity that the beautiful expectations that have been hidden in my heart for many years have now turned into a deal.

A passing visitor turned half of my life into chaos!

"Go...go."

Liu Mingzhi put down his wine glass and turned to look at the two pretty palace maids behind him who had already received his instructions.

"Qing'er, Die'er, you two accompany the princess and Yingzhi to have fun."

"Sisters, please obey."
