Li Huowang looked at the small boy in Gao Zhijian's arms who was staring at him with wide eyes and curiosity. He picked up chopsticks, dipped them in some dish sauce, and brought them to the boy's mouth.
The old eunuch beside him was about to step forward and stop him, but Gao Zhijian's glance made him retreat.
The chubby Crown Prince licked the sauce with his tongue, found it spicy, and immediately scrunched his features like a bun, bursting into loud, healthy cries.
Seeing this, both men exchanged a smile, and the atmosphere instantly returned to what it used to be.
"Is the village doing well?" Gao Zhijian handed the crying child to the eunuch beside him and asked Li Huowang.
"It's alright. With the silver you sent, the village can't be doing too badly." Li Huowang picked up a piece of camel hump with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth while he spoke.
