Gu Chengzhi chuckled. “I thought it was black sesame, but it turns out it wasn’t after I bought them.”

“Lucky find then! These seeds are worth much more.”

“You can have them then. I’m not interested.”

“Alright, I’ll try planting them. If successful, I’ll share them, and everyone can try them,” Gu Chengrui replied. He wrapped the seeds carefully and set them aside. With dragon fruits already thriving in the interspace, successfully cultivating them would be another unique feat.

After further conversation, the banquet commenced. Zhou Ying presented red envelopes to the children before everyone enjoyed the delicious meal.

Following a post-meal chat, most guests departed, except for Gu Chengye.

Gu Chengye and Gu Chengsi retreated to the east courtyard for a private conversation, catching up on the past few years.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ying took the children for a stroll, while Gu Chengrui headed straight to bed after a long day of hosting guests.

Early on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Ying’s family whisked Gu Chengsi and his family away for a few days of relaxation at the hot springs estate. They rushed back on the afternoon of the fifth day.

On the sixth day, they visited the Empress in the palace. By the seventh day, Gu Chengrui and Gu Chengsi had returned to their busy schedules. Shops reopened, and Zhou Ying entrusted the children to Gu Chenglin’s care before venturing out with Mrs. Bai for a shopping spree.

Their first stop was a jewelry store, where everyone picked out a piece. Next, they ordered custom clothes at a tailor’s shop. Finally, Mrs. Bai selected some toiletries and skincare products at a beauty shop.

As they passed Hongyun Restaurant, Mrs. Bai paused and asked, “Sister-in- law, how about we head home for dinner? The children are waiting.”

Mrs. Bai was embarrassed to continue eating at their restaurant after the shopping spree.

“If you’re not hungry, I’ll just grab some roast chicken for Chengrui and the kids. They love it,” Zhou Ying said, already turning toward the restaurant.

Mrs. Bai sighed in relief and followed her in. The manager greeted them warmly and offered to prepare a meal. Zhou Ying politely declined, explaining she only needed roast chicken for takeout—four, to be precise—and ensured they were fresh.

Suddenly, Mingyu entered. “Zhou Ying! A rare guest at Hongyun Restaurant!” she exclaimed.

“Not at all; you’ve visited our Grassland Taste Restaurant many times,” Zhou Ying replied, then introduced Mrs. Bai.

Mrs. Bai stood up in greeting. “Greetings, Princess Mingyu.”

Mingyu graciously told her to rise.

“Lunchtime already? Why not join me?” Mingyu suggested, taking a seat.

“Perhaps another day. We have five children waiting at home.”

“Don’t worry about them; the servants will take care of them. Come, I have something to discuss,” Mingyu insisted, pulling Zhou Ying towards the stairs.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying waved goodbye to Mrs. Bai and followed Mingyu to a private room upstairs.

After ordering six dishes and a pot of Da Hong Pao tea, Mingyu leaned in with a sly smile. “Sister Zhou, any more secret recipes Grassland Taste Restaurant isn’t using? Could you spare me a couple…”
