**Ding! Persuasion level at 85%!**

Xiao Chuchu watched everyone eat barbecue, as if she could taste it herself.

But the sudden alert left her somewhat bewildered.

Just now, Consort Min mentioned that the Emperor took Wei Zheng out of the palace, along with a few ministers. There weren't many guards accompanying them either.

She had assumed that Xiao Yunzhou didn't take the little tea-serving eunuch to see the comforting of the refugees.

Xiao Chuchu didn't think too much about it, until she was startled by Consort Min's exclamation.

"It's so good..." Consort Min put a dumpling into her mouth, cheeks bulging out. She took a bite and exclaimed.

"Woo, woo, woo... Call Cheng Shan over, let Cheng Qian rest a while, and have Cheng Shan grill for everyone."

Concubine Liu laughed upon hearing this.

Cheng Qian's lips curved up in a smile.

Ever since Xiao Yunzhou heard Chuchu's heartfelt words about developing intelligence through doing things oneself, he began to encourage the princes to take matters into their own hands for simple daily tasks.

If it were the past, Cheng Qian wouldn't even know how to barbecue.

But now, after the princes had spent some time learning in the kitchen, though not adept, they had at least managed not to ruin the food.

Cheng Qian was also happy to oblige his sister's words. If he could do it himself, he didn't need to bother Xiao Luzi.

Especially when it came to grilling meat for his mother and sister, Cheng Qian was more than willing.

"Sixth Brother, you eat first. I've already dirtied my hands, might as well finish the job."

Cheng Qian didn't mind, the more he grilled, the more skilled he became.

At first, he couldn't control the heat or time.

But after grilling tens of skewers, he no longer charred the meat.

With a skewer in each hand, he could leisurely turn them on the grill, with only occasional glances.

Concubine Liu and Consort Min were eating slowly, and the grilled meat would not taste good when it got cold. Cheng Qian didn't have such a sense of hierarchy, calling Xiao Luzi to distribute it to Qiu Li and other maids and eunuchs who usually took care of his mother and sister.

"Fifth Prince, the slave will do it herself."

"Yeah, you eat it yourself."

"We'll take the ones you've ruined, you keep the good ones."

The maids and eunuchs, including Qiu Li, were almost kneeling to Cheng Qian.

How could a noble prince serve them instead?

But Cheng Qian waved them off.

His little sister, so young, could care about the common people's pork issue. Naturally, as her brother, he could care for the people around him.

"I'm just lending a hand once or twice, most of the time, it's still you guys taking care of Mother and Sister."

Cheng Qian didn't care about these things.

He found it quite amazing, probably influenced by his sister.

Growing up in the palace, he had always thought he was the master, the prince, deserving of others' kowtowing.
