After the detoxification matter was finalized, Mingruo felt a little hungry and had to ask his walking clock boyfriend: "When is it now?"

"It's almost noon." Si Haochen replied.

"Oh, let's go and cook." Actually, Mingruo just needs to go by himself, but he was afraid that Si Haochen and the plain father would be in a bad mood, so the two of them started fighting.

"Okay." Si Haochen naturally took Ming Ruo's hand and took Ming Ruo to the cave with the vegetable garden.

Mingruo went into the kitchen to see what foods were available. There was still half a jar of rice in the rice jar, but it was all finely divided. There were also some dried vegetables, dried bamboo shoots, and not even dried mushrooms. In this situation of scarcity of supplies, no wonder the cheap father would be malnourished.

Mingruo sighed. The cheap father was locked in the cave above, and probably didn't know what was there. Mingruo took out new rice, some condiments, and several dishes from the space.

First, steam a bucket of rice on the big stove. This method is learned from the chefs in the army. After all, there is no rice cooker here, and the heat of stewing rice depends entirely on personal experience. If you use steam, you will not burn the rice no matter what. Si Haochen, under Mingruo's command, filled the stove with fine wood.

Mingruo washed the old bacon hanging at the entrance of the cave and threw it into a casserole and cooked it.

Although Yan Yuan received the education of "a gentleman staying away from the kitchen" since he was a child, it does not matter whether he is a gentleman in order to get along with his daughter.

He slowly swayed over with a gentle smile on his face: "Ruoer, do you need your father's help?"

"Ah..." Mingruo had already picked half a basin of edamame and looked at his father thoughtfully, "Can you cook and cook?"

"..." This question is a bit sharp. Yan Yuan has lived for more than 40 years. Not to mention cooking, it is even the first time he comes to the kitchen.

"Then you can peel edamame." Mingruo picked up a pod, pinched it from both sides, and peeled out the beans inside.

"Okay." Yan Yuan took the wooden basin from Mingruo's hand and said, "Dad, come and peel it."

Mingruo squatted beside him and chose vegetables. He saw that his cheap father was very serious about peeling beans. He was driven by curiosity and asked: "Who is the one who lives in the palace now? Why does he look almost exactly the same as you?"

"..." Yan Yuan's hand was peeling the beans, and the beans pinched between his fingers were instantly crushed into beans.

"Don't be excited, I just ask casually, I don't want to know very much." Ming Ruo estimated that the crazy man had a lot of connection with the cheap father.

"He is my twin brother." Yan Yuan's tone became very plain, and he could no longer hear too much emotion.

Mingruo was still a little surprised when she heard this answer. She thought that the man had used disguise or other methods to have a face like a noble father.

Having started, it would be easy to speak: "In the royal family, twins are generally not made the crown prince. However, your grandfather's idea is different.

As soon as we were born, the fact that we were twins became a secret. He secretly left the palace and raised me in Qingyang Villa, and asked folk experts to teach civil and military skills. Yan Cang stayed in the palace and was taught by him personally. Every year, he would bring Yan Cang to Qingyang Villa for us to compete.

When we were young, we actually had a good relationship. Every time Yan Cang came, he would bring me the snacks from the palace and the clothes made by the queen of his mother..."

"Haha." Si Haochen, who was burning the fire under the kitchen, sneered. His cheap father-in-law is really...why? I don't know if he should be said to be naive or stupid.

Mingruo didn't think there was anything wrong, but when he heard his boyfriend laughing, he suddenly remembered that his boyfriend once said, "No one in the palace is simple."

Just imagine that a pair of brothers have never lived together since childhood and meet once a year, just to get a better time for the "competition". No matter how close the brothers are, they are artificially placed on the opposite side. In this case, one person is very nice to the other person. Such "good" is chilling to think about it.

Seeing the expression on Mingruo's face, Yan Yuan also tried to see his personal experience from the perspective of a bystander... He seemed really funny, and he actually felt that he had a good relationship with Yan Cang.

"Cough." Yan Yuan continued to say, "When we were 12 years old, my father thought I was more suitable to be the crown prince, so he made me the crown prince. Yan Cang was treacherous in his mind and was more suitable to command An Yin Guard, so he was sent to the Western Frontier for training.

Later, my father died and I ascended the throne as emperor. Yan Cang led the An Yin Guard to assist him. I didn't realize at all that he had the intention of being unjust...

It was not until later that I went to Yanluo Mountain to get the fire Ganoderma lucidum. At that time, the true energy was seriously damaged and the old servant Yuan Gao put a soft muscle dispersed. After falling into Yan Cang's hands, I realized that he had been coveting the throne for a long time. Not only did he bribe my close servant, but he even had people in the harem.

I was not strong enough to grow up in the palace since I was a child and was not used to life in the palace. After welcoming your mother into the palace, I felt that there were shackles everywhere. Because I had to balance the forces of all parties and I had to worry about impeachment by censors, my mother suffered a lot of grievances.

Yan Cang wanted the throne and said it directly. I am willing to abdicate and give in to the wise. Being able to take you mother and daughter far away is something I can’t ask for…”

"He doesn't want you to 'let' him." Ming Ruo could see that the 'crazy man' was definitely mentally distorted by his black-hearted father.

He trapped Concubine Su in the palace and tried his best to let her put down her cheap father. In fact, just like him taking the "throne", he might not have much liked it, but it was mostly obsession.

"He probably wanted to prove with facts that the emperor's grandfather's choice was wrong. He was the chosen son of God." Mingruo only felt that the 'emperor' he had never met was very abominable. "He wants to plunder everything you have. The more you value, the more he must grab it."

Yan Yuan fell into silence for a moment. It seemed that he was plotted against by Yan Cang. Because, from the beginning to the end, he had never known him. He did not know himself or his enemy, and he would not lose.

Seeing the badly hit father, Ming Ruo silently took the edamame he had peeled and went to the kitchen to cook.

"What do you want me to do?" Si Haochen saw Mingruo take out the wooden barrel of rice, so he stopped adding firewood.

Mingruo picked out the cooked bacon and put it on the chopping board: "This is cut into slices of meat."

"Okay." Si Haochen is already skilled in cutting vegetables, and he cuts them quickly and well.

Mingruo first stir-fryed the vegetables and made loofah egg soup. After Si Haochen cut the meat slices, Mingruo made another dish of fried bacon with edamame.

"It's time to eat." Ming Ruo was in trouble when he picked up the dishes. There was not even a table, where should he place it?

Mingruo walked out of the kitchen and was in the vegetable garden for any use. He saw his father bringing in a large clean stone slab.
