Tan Wu is adamant about getting humiliation like this in his lifetime. He is the Governor, and he hears about the talking regarding him becoming the next ruler in the Dayu Kingdom. His successful way to secure the southern region and make his family rich has reached the capital. They want to pledge loyalty to him as one of his sources in the capital.

He never met with the emperor because the governor appointed was under the prime minister responded. Jin Yu always gives full authority to the prime minister for all the stuff he delegates to him.

This time, Tan Wu tells his assistant to wreak havoc into the main hall to force everyone inside there for bowing to him. However, Zhao Yun and Yu Fan are enough to stop Tan Wu from disrespect the emperor. Jin Yu is sitting there with his teacup while Eunuch Wang and Eunuch Li shield him with his body.

However, Jin Yu cannot contain his anger anymore and stand up before he smashes his teacup into Tan Wu's head. Everyone is stopping to see enrage emperor who smashing his teacup to the governor's head. Tan Wu is getting shocked and feels pain after the teacup hit his head. He drops to the floor on his back, and the blood starts to drip in his head.

As soon as he realises, the blood starts to drip into his forehead when he is touching his forehead. Tan Wu is getting really angry as no one ever in his life dare to treat and attack him like this. However, he does not realise the person is Jin Yu, the almighty emperor, who can decide his life within his palm. Jin Yu regards Tan Wi life as a mere fly in his palm that needs a smack to kill it.

Tan Wu sin is unforgivable when he starts to abandon his people and fill up his own wealth. Lin Yue is finding the corruption by selling good weapon for the military in the southern region to the bandit outskirt of the AN Kingdom. He is firing the military general in charge of the southern region and put his own people in charge of the military in the southern region.

Tan Wu subordinate is taking him out of the house to see their strength overrun by the people in the four-season mansion. They are retreating with their boss injured in their head, and it is the best decision to retreat from the war.

Jin Yu coldly is sitting back with Eunuch Wang is serving him another tea. Zhao Yun and Yu Fan are giving a thought to the southern region govern. It will be good if this region grows and contribute to economic growth. Their gold and rice include their wine, are famous for making good economic growth to the country.

Yu Fan will rearrange the government office from scratch as the office is really toxic with all the people from Tan Wu. Jin Yu is listening to Yu Fan's plans to rebuild the southern region if permitted by the emperor.

"Write everything in the report tonight and presents it in the morning. I will read it and give you some input about your idea," Jin Yu is standing up to go to their room. He whispers to Eunuch Wang to bring them some late lunch to the room.

"Lin Yue, I want you to send Wang Bo to get as much soldier from the last general who is loyal to me. I bet that stupid bastard will attack tonight. Get ready," Jin Yu is walking toward his room.

Lin Yu is bowing and relay the message to his assistant, who will dispatch and bring his own soldier from the capital. He is sending the secret letter to one of the captains with the bird to meet him at the border of the southern region. They are going to subdue their defence to enter and protect their emperor safety.

"Qing… wake up and eat the food," Jin Yu is waking her up softly.

"en…"

"The food is getting cold. Come on and eat the food, or should I eat a different kind of food?" Jin Yu is nibbling her ear to wake her up. Ni Qing is opening her eyes after hearing the threat and his action.

"I am waking up…. do you really have the heart to do it again? My back and waist still sore…" Ni Qing is sitting up and stretching her body.

Jin Yu is chuckled and walking to the table full of food. He sits at the top of the table and gets his chopstick. As usual, Eunuch Wang is serving the food to the plate of the emperor. Ni Qing is coming and joining her husband to get some food from the table. Xiao Nie is going to help her to get some food, but Ni Qing refuses it. Ni Qing is scooping the food by herself. Eunuch Wang is going to reprimand Ni Qing when Jin Yu signalled him to be quiet. He is letting her do everything she feels like it.

"Your highness… I am going to make some food in the kitchen to give to the people in the country. Do you have something for me to do in the afternoon?" Ni Qing is talking to the quiet emperor on the dining table.

Jin Yu is looking at him before shaking his head to tell her about his answer. Ni Qing is humming and gobbling her food before she is standing up and leaving the emperor. Eunuch Wang is peeking the expression of the emperor from the corner of his eyes. This is the first time someone dares to walk out from the emperor, especially when enjoying his meal. However, Jin Yu does not feel anything, and he thought it was normal when Ni Qing left him to the kitchen.

Ni Qing walked to the kitchen after she tied her hair to the bun and folded her sleeves. She asks Xiao Nie to call Ni Sheng and Lin Yue to the kitchen. They are just finished instructing the eagle troop with Zhang for the security surrounding the mansion.

"Why we are in the kitchen?" Ni Sheng is complaining about his hand on his waist.

"Ah Sheng, I want you to make porridge in that big pot. Stir it clockwise so it will not be getting clumpy. AH Yue, I need you to chop the cabbage and onion on that side. I will make some side dishes," Ni Qing is instructing them to start helping her inside the kitchen. Meanwhile, she is mixing the dough to make some fried bun. It will be a good combination with the porridge and the others food.

Jin Yu is finishing the food and walking to the kitchen to see his wife and the others working obediently under her command. Ni Qing is pulling her sleeves and showing her slender arm, which making and kneading the dough. As soon as Lin Yue finishes with his task, he takes over Ni Qing job to knead and shape the dough. They are playing inside the kitchen with the flour and enjoying their time.

"Hmmmmmmhhhh…." Jin Yu is making noise to them when Ni Qing is wiping the flour in Lin Yue face. Everyone is stopping their activity to see the person standing near the entrance to the kitchen making noise.

"Your highness… what are you doing in here? Just go and do your work. We are working in here to cook enough for the whole town," Ni Qing is reporting to her husband.

"Your highness, do you need someone to help you draft the royal edict for the new government in this region?" Ni Sheng is suggesting some work to avoid making porridge. He has been making a big pot, and now, he is stirring the second pot for the porridge. Ni Qing keeps her eyes on him while stirring the porridge and keeps tasting the consistency of the porridge.

"No… I will help my consort in the kitchen to cook for my people," Jin Yu is coming inside the kitchen bench near Ni Qing. Eunuch Wang and Eunuch li are in shock to hear the word from their master mouth. This is the first time; they see him inside the kitchen whilst his hand will get dirty from the hard work.

"Your Highness, are you joking me…? You are never doing some harsh job, and your hand is so delicate. How about we do the hard job, and you are sitting in here," Eunuch Wang is telling the emperor while showing him the stool nearby.

"Your Highness, sit in there and watch us working in the kitchen. You never work in the kitchen, and it will become a burden for us rather and helping us," Ni Qing keeps chopping some vegetable with her hand while talking with her husband. Meanwhile, Eunuch Li is going to Ni Qing and asks for some direction to help out.
