"Your Humble Son pays his respects to Father Emperor!"

"This humble official pays his respects to The Emperor!"

"Hengheng, there's no need for such formalities!" Emperor Huian looked at Chu Heng with affection, his eyes sweeping over Xiao Ruiyuan and Yan Junyu, he said warmly, "You may rise as well."

"Thank you, The Emperor!" Xiao Ruiyuan and Yan Junyu got up and stepped back to stand behind Chu Heng.

Learning that the three were about to have a meal, Emperor Huian smiled at Chu Heng and said, "Add another set of utensils for me."

"Yes, Father Emperor!" Chu Heng responded, signaling a servant to prepare.

What was originally a harmonious atmosphere became somewhat awkward with the arrival of Emperor Huian. Xiao Ruiyuan and Yan Junyu felt quite uncomfortable, and after The Emperor started eating, they each scooped up a bowl of fish soup and slowly drank it.
