?Chapter 705: Chapter 633, Let’s Farm Together_1 Chapter 705: Chapter 633, Let’s Farm Together_1 A meal at noon, Granny Gu and Gu Jian had almost eaten with stiff faces. They neither dared to talk much with the Emperor nor appeared too eager, fearing that Daohua would detect something and then investigate the Emperor’s identity.
The Emperor also found the meal quite disagreeable. In the palace, he mostly dined alone, accustomed to the silence during meals. Faced with the enthusiastic and chatty Daohua, who incessantly engaged him in mundane conversation, he really felt somewhat overwhelmed.

Seeing that Daohua stayed seated, ready to continue playing host, the Emperor silently took a deep breath and, using convenience as an excuse, took the opportunity to slip out of the main room.
As soon as he left, Daohua looked disapprovingly at Granny Gu and Gu Jian: “Master, granny, I know you’re hospitable, but even hospitality should have limits, right? The millennium ginseng is precious, and master, you never indulge in it yourself. Why did you serve it to a stranger today?”
