I Don't Dare to Eat Too Much

The few people who had been watching them could not help but join them as they listened to Jun Ning's constant chatter and Qiong Hua's work.

There was strength in numbers. The work that would have taken a long time to complete was done in three days.

Everyone began to plant vegetables. Because The Cold Palace did not have an unlimited water supply, they did not plant too much. For the time being, they had only planted a little. This would yield enough to last them for the next few months.

One day, when Jun Ning was barefoot, watering the newly planted vegetables and playing in the cold water, Jun Yu came over.

"Cuckoo ... Cuckoo ... Cuckoo ..."

Jun Yu had already snuck into The Cold Palace through the small hole, but he did not know where his boss was right now. He was not familiar with The Cold Palace either, so he was afraid of causing trouble. He could only stay where he was and make the cuckoo's call the way Jun Ning had taught him too. He hoped that his boss would hear him and come to pick him up soon.

When Jun Ning heard the cuckoo bird's cry, she went to pick Jun Yu up without even putting down the water ladle she was holding.

Standing on the grass that blocked the small hole, Jun Ning said, "Ah Yu, Ah Yu, I'm here. Come out, don't hide. There's no one else here, so you don't have to be afraid. "

Hearing the familiar voice, Jun Yu walked out of the dense grass without fear and happily ran towards Jun Ning.

Recently, his father had fallen ill and the entire palace was depressed. His mother's expression was also gloomy all day, so he did not dare to eat too much and was unhappy all day. He found a little happiness when he was able to get rid of the palace maids and sneak out to see Jun Ning.

"Boss, I missed you."

Jun Yu rushed forward and hugged Jun Ning lovingly, not at all disgusted by the mud on Jun Ning's body. He did not even consider how he would explain his dirty clothes to his mother later.

He held Jun Ning in his arms for a long time. He only let go of her after he felt less upset.

Jun Ning looked at Jun Yu and asked worriedly, "Yu, what's wrong? Why do you look so sad? Did your mother starve you again because you failed to memorize the article?"

Jun Ning put down the water ladle and wiped her hands dry. She then brushed some dirt off her clothes and said, "If you're hungry, give me a moment. I'll get you something to eat."

Jun Yu hesitated for a moment. In the end, he could not deny his hunger and nodded. "Mm, okay."

Recently, he had been afraid that his mother would scold him if he ate too much. His father was sick, so how could he eat well? Therefore, he consciously ate very little for every meal, which made him hungry every day.

He did not have the strength to walk and felt like he was about to faint from the hunger pangs. However, he did not dare to tell anyone, so no one knew that he was hungry.

Only his boss could tell that he was hungry although he had not said anything.

He felt a warm appreciation for Jun Ning.

Jun Ning managed to snag a fish and roasted duck for Jun Yu.

Although Jun Yu was young, the sons of the imperial family were quite intelligent.

He could tell that the conditions of The Cold Palace's were not very good. Therefore, it was impossible for them to make such good food here.

Where did his boss get it from?

As he was hungry, Jun Yu did not ask any questions and quickly ate whatever he could.

When Qiong Hua came to find her, she saw a very silly little kid in expensive clothes gnawing on a duck leg. His mouth was full of grease, and Jun Ning, who was next to him, helped him wipe it off.

Qiong Hua was puzzled. "Yiyi, who is this?" she asked.

Jun Yu hurriedly put down his food and introduced himself. He did not hide his true identity and told Qiong Hua the truth.

As for why he was here, Jun Ning explained that he was here to play with her.

After listening to this, Qiong Hua did not say a word and stared at Jun Yu for a long time.
