Chapter Title: A Journey to Remember (3)

Chapter no. 19

(Prince Wang Haoran's POV)

It was a long journey towards the neighboring kingdom of the eastern planes. I was sent by my father to check the progress that the other kingdom is making for a couple of years now, as we caught a whiff of the alarming growth of citizens joining the revolution against their kingdom's current monarch. Well I strongly believe that a cruel man will never find peace sitting on the emperor's throne that did not belong to him right from the start.

I rushed to return to the palace and report to my father. Luckily, he easily dismissed me and did not hold me long. I have been dying to see my mother and my siblings. After all I was gone for about four years. In fact I stayed two years in our sect and only left when I achieved the cultivation rank that I wanted.

\"Ran'er you're back earlier than I thought! Come close to mommy and let me see you\" My mother harshly pulled me and checked my face

\"Mother I'm not a child anymore\" I sat next to her, while she continued inspecting me, then without warning signals my mother pinched my cheeks

\"No matter what, you will always be my beloved little son. It's a pity, your siblings are not here\"

\"Where did they went?\"

\"All of them asked permission from me and your father if they could leave for an important event, they said they'll be bringing food with them when they get home. And you know I cannot say \"no\" when it is our dear Roushi who asked to go, so I agreed and let them wander. I've been receiving news of your sister hanging out with her best friend\"

\"Roushi has a best friend? Since when, who and why was I not informed by that brat?\" my mother chuckled and pat my head

\"Your sister is getting older and older, and it is time that she learns to make friends and socialize with other misses. Don't worry it's the right prime minister's daughter, Qin Zetian. The youngest amongst the children of Mr. Qin, actually I am waiting for them to comeback. Rou'er said she'll negotiate with her best friend and join the business industry, I want her to learn basic skills in business that way she will survive without relying on our support\"

\"Business industry? Mother she's too young and immature for that-- She's only fourteen!\"

\"Don't fret, her best friend opened the largest restaurant here in the capital. I will catch news from the madams who attended the food tasting event. With the help of Mr. Qin's daughter our Rou'er had become sensible these past few days. She also learned to socialize more with other people, so let her be.\"

I sighed

My mother can't prevent me from worrying, that brat is the youngest amongst us her children and harm is always inevitable. She might draw too much attention. Noise suddenly enveloped my mother's courtyard as footsteps echoed through the hallway.

\"Mother! We are back, we've brought tons of food for you!\"

\"The emperor has arrived!\" Eunuch Li announced

\"Oh brother you're here?\"

\"Silly this isn't me, look I'm just a talking painting!\" then everyone chuckled, but my mom smack the back of my head

\"Why are you here?\" my mother pointed at father emperor

\"Why I am here? Oh, can't I visit my lovely wife?\"

\"No... You're only here to steal meals from me, you go away! Go away!\"

All of us laughed as well as the emperor, our father.

\"These food should be enough for all of us!\"

\"Let the maidservants serve them and we will eat together\"

Everyone agreed.

When the baskets were opened, a mouth-watering smell raised our appetites, it kept me salivating for the first time in my whole life just by looking at it. And as I look at everyone it feels like all of us wanted to devour the meal.

\"Such powerful cooking technique, where did these recipes came from Rou'er?\" my mother is a big fan of tasting delicacies and different types of food, so I can say that she's already an expert to this

\"Mother, Ze'er passed these recipes to the chef, what I'm wondering is that she has lots of recipes that even their family members never knew of, but anyway I don't care about the origins of her recipes. I'm here to eat!\"

\"She must be a gifted child!\" emperor father laughed

\"Everything is ready, we shall start eating!\" my fifth brother commented

\"You came home full and now you're acting like a hungry bat!\" mother joked

I pick up my chopsticks and chose some of the food. And when I tasted it, I finally believed that heaven on earth is possible.
