"What is this?" Thinking that Ye Qiu had finally returned from the Imperial Mansion, where he was having too much fun to leave, Ye Ling took advantage of a quiet moment in his official duties to check on him. To his surprise, he found him roasting something to eat with his two sons.
The thing appeared black on the surface, but to his astonishment, when the outer skin was peeled off, it was golden yellow inside, and it emitted a strange and enticing fragrance.
Ye Ling had been busy with numerous official matters today and had taken a casual lunch, so the peculiar aroma successfully aroused his appetite.
"Father Emperor." The Crown Prince, Ye Shu, politely bowed and then handed the thing his Imperial Uncle called 'sweet potato' to Ye Ling.
The Second Prince felt a moment of fear upon seeing Ye Ling, but observing Ye Qiu sitting on the ground without any pretense, he too started to munch on the sweet potato in his hands without any care.
