The Foodie Online Chapter 1

It is hard to imagine that there is such a small courtyard in the Daming Palace, which is full of prosperity and luxury.

There are only two movable houses in the courtyard, the inner house and the outer house. There is a large lawn in front of the outer house, which has been carefully tended. Half of it is neatly planted with some vegetables, and the other half is surrounded by a fence with a few rabbits.

Such scenes were not uncommon in ordinary farmers' homes, but they were a bit shabby in the royal family.

However, this is a place that even the lowest-ranking palace maids in the laundry department normally disdain. Naturally, apart from the people living here, no one would know about the changes that are quietly happening here.

A dozen days ago, this place was still a wasteland, overgrown with weeds, and it was so desolate that it looked as if no one had ever lived here.

A young man with his sleeves rolled up and wearing a straw hat opened the fence surrounding the rabbits and walked in. In his hand was a woven basket filled with fresh green vegetables.

Seeing that there was food, even the most shy little rabbits gathered around. The boy squatted down, poured all the grass into the trough, put the woven basket aside, and watched the little rabbits eat attentively.

It should have been an extremely heartwarming scene, but a sound of swallowing saliva was heard, which ruined the atmosphere.

The boy's expression remained unchanged, and he did not ask where the sound came from. He picked up some vegetables that had been eaten into a mess, stretched out a hand and touched the little rabbit closest to him. The soft texture under his hand made him curl the corners of his mouth.

"Hua Er Duo, we normally don't even want to eat these vegetables, look at you, why are you wasting them so much?"

His voice was as gentle as the gurgling of water, but the movements of his hands were as ruthless as a storm. His jade-like hand picked up the vegetables on the ground that had been gnawed until only the stems were left, grabbed the rabbit by the scruff of the neck, lifted it up, and forced the vegetables into its mouth.

The poor little rabbit kicked its legs and struggled in vain. It could only accept its fate and eat the remaining vegetable stems.

The young man smiled softly, put the rabbit down and touched its ears, without any trace of the rudeness he had just shown. "Be good, a good rabbit is one that doesn't waste."

The good rabbit trembled under his hands.

The inappropriate voice from before sounded again, asking in a babyish voice, "Yuyu, when can we eat braised rabbit head?"

Victor rubbed his forehead helplessly, "This rabbit is only the size of a palm, it's really not easy to catch it, let's wait until it grows a little bigger, otherwise a pot of it won't be enough to fill the gaps between our teeth."

"Oh," the system replied aggrievedly, "they're going to be eaten sooner or later anyway, why do you give them names?"

"It's the spice of life, what do you know?"

From being cautious at the beginning to the current mutual attacks, Victor has become very familiar with it.

Just as he was about to argue with it at length, he heard hurried footsteps. He stood up and saw a little girl in a pink palace dress running towards him.

The little girl ran up to him and saw Victor still holding the weaving basket. Her eyes suddenly turned red and tears were about to fall. "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, why are you here to feed the rabbits yourself again? You are of noble status, how can you do such rough work?"

She took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears.

She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a childish face, a frown that showed a sad expression, and a plain hairpin on her head. She looked like a resentful woman who was abandoned by her husband.

Victor suddenly had a headache again, and hurriedly said, "I was also bored, and I happened to see Xiao Zhangzi holding some vegetables to feed the rabbits, so I took over. Lily, don't be angry."

Lily's tears were still hanging on her eyelashes. She waved her hands in panic, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, please don't say that. Lily dares not be angry with you."

After that, she wiped her tears again, "Lily thinks she is not doing her best and cannot help the Sixth Prince with all his worries. She has failed the Queen's trust."

When Victor heard her mention his mother again, he quickly changed the subject, "Lily, it's almost time for dinner, have you prepared dinner?"

Lily's attention was diverted. She patted her head and stamped her feet as if she had just woken up from a dream. "Oh, I have to go prepare dinner. My memory is really dmn bad."

After saying that, he bowed to Victor, turned around and ran to the kitchen.

The system watched Lily's back as she ran away, and said slowly, "What a little fool, but fortunately, she cooks delicious food and is quite popular with fans, so it's not bad to keep her around."

Its voice is just that of a seven or eight-year-old child, and its words are not convincing at all. Instead, they sound mature beyond their years, which is laughable.

Victor shook off the grass debris on his body and said, "Let's go. I hope tonight we have new dishes that the audience will be satisfied with."

Victor's residence is an inner room, which has been in disrepair for many years. It rained heavily a few days ago and the beams still emit a damp and moldy smell. There is only a rickety table and two wooden benches in the room.

He changed into a green robe, sat at the table, holding a volume of "The Analects of Confucius" in his hand, with a demeanor that showed "what a humble room it is".

This was the scene Lily saw when she came in with a bowl of rice and a plate of vegetables. As if afraid of disturbing him, she gently placed the food on the table.

Victor put the book back on the bookshelf, returned to the table, silently touched the jade pendant on his waist, then looked at the green mass in front of him and hesitated, "This is..."

What Lily couldn't see was that a transparent display screen appeared in front of them, and a lot of barrages appeared on it in a short while.

【Hello Yuyu, I am here to watch Yuyu's live broadcast. 】

【Yuyu's beauty is also open today! 】

【What will Yuyu eat during her live broadcast today? 】

Lan Er smiled shyly, "Your Highness, Sixth Prince, these are newly grown Chinese toon shoots. You said the other day that you wanted to try some fresh ones. I saw that these Chinese toon shoots were fresh, so I picked some for you to try."

Victor picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of food and put it into his mouth, nodding, "It's fresh, tender and crispy, and tastes good."

Victor asked the system that had been silent for a long time in his heart, "System, did you gain anything today?"

The system was silent for a long time before it spoke reluctantly, saying perfunctorily, "Congratulations to the host for getting a +1 fan and receiving a reward. The system loves you."

"What is mumuda?"

System, "I don't want to talk."

"Not bad, at least you didn't lose followers," Victor comforted.

After saying that, he began to concentrate on eating. It wasn't that hard to swallow with the toon rice, so he ate it bite by bite.

Instead, Lily was watching from the side, feeling both happy and sad.

The fourteen-year-old boy should have been raised in the palm of his hand, loved by his father and mother. However, although he was born in an imperial family, he did not have a good life as he happened to be the son of a c0ncubine in the cold palace.

Victor grew up in this cold palace as a child. His queen passed away when he was only eight years old. The only person who loved him was gone. Now he can only endure these days that he cannot see the end of by himself.

In such a huge Daming Palace, no one actually remembered that there was a prince living here.

When Lily thought of this, tears started flowing like unstoppable water.

Victor was halfway through eating when she saw Lily secretly wiping tears. She was so scared that she quickly put down her chopsticks and asked, "Sister Lily, what's wrong with you? Who offended you?"

Lily shook her head, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, you are obviously smarter than anyone else and have an outstanding appearance. You really shouldn't be buried in this unpopular cold palace. Lily thinks it's not worth it for you."

[Sister Lily is a person who values ​​love. This is not some kind of divine master-servant relationship.]

[I feel so sad when Sister Lily cries. 】

[I feel that Sister Lily has the appearance of a classical beauty, and when she cries she looks like Lin Daiyu.]

Victor was stunned for a moment, sighed, and silently picked up the unfinished meal. After taking a bite of the rice, he said vaguely, "I don't think there's anything wrong with such a life."

His tone was a little bland, and it was unclear how much sincerity there was in these words. Lily did believe them, and her brows furrowed even more tightly.

Unexpectedly, the system spoke up for Lily at this time, "What this little girl said is not without reason. You should go out more often and take a look. What's the point of staying in this small, broken place all day?"

Victor didn't buy his tricks, "I think you want me to go live and gain followers?"

After finishing the meal, Victor put down his chopsticks, turned off the live broadcast room that had just been opened, and asked Lily to clean up and take the bowl out.

After Lily left, a bright light appeared on the table in front of Victor. After a while, a soft little ball appeared in front of him.

Before Victor could react, the little dumpling took advantage of the situation and jumped up, rushing towards Victor's face like a small cannonball, and hit him in the face with a "pa" sound.

Victor touched his red face and pushed Xiaotuanzi away helplessly, "What are you doing?"

The little dumpling returned to the table angrily and rolled over. "This system is teaching you a lesson. Don't think you can delay for long by using onions and rotten vegetable leaves to fill the gap. If you keep going like this, you will become obsolete sooner or later."

Victor reached out his hand, touched its soft body, and soothed it, "Don't be angry."

The little girl was strangely silent for a moment, her body flushed, and she stammered to teach him, "Young people can't be so complacent. You have to learn to step out of your comfort zone, understand?"

Although he often couldn't understand what it said, it didn't prevent Victor from communicating with him. He was more concerned about another thing, "You said before, if I can't get... fans, what will be the punishment?"

The little girl lazily turned over in his palm, "This system is a personalized system. Of course, you can choose the punishment. It has a complete set of electric shock and fire therapy."

Victor,...

He rested his chin on one hand, lost in thought.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the little ball got up quickly, jumped a few times, and then turned into a spot of light and disappeared.

Lan Er was holding the clothes that Victor had just washed. She glanced at him and ran over anxiously, "Sixth Prince, what happened to your face? Are you allergic?"

Victor touched his face uncomfortably, "It's okay, I just bumped into it accidentally."

He had fair skin to begin with, and now the little dumpling had left a red mark on his skin, which looked even more frightening. It extended from the base of his ear to the corner of his mouth, like a ray of red cloud, and even had a hint of beauty.

He inherited the beauty from his mother, like a wandering flower that no one cares about, blooming alone in this cold palace. However, he usually has a dull personality, like lukewarm water, and not many people notice his appearance.

Even Lily, who had watched him grow up, gasped and said softly, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, you are so beautiful."

When she realized how treasonous her words were, she took a step back and knelt on the ground in fear, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, Lily did not mean to offend me, please forgive me, Your Highness the Sixth Prince."

Victor waved his hand nonchalantly.

He doesn't care much about his appearance and seldom looks in the mirror. He doesn't feel anything when a man is complimented on his appearance and just thinks of it as a compliment to himself.

Besides, in this palace, apart from Lily, there might not be anyone else who would treat him as the Sixth Prince.

After Lily went back to rest, he lit a candle and took out the unfinished book from the bookshelf.

The candle was half burned, and Victor put the book back on the bookshelf. Instead of taking a rest, he walked to the wardrobe where his clothes were kept and took out a set of more decent clothes.

The system, which had transformed into a little ball and was sleeping in his bed, was woken up by him and jumped onto his shoulder, looking around curiously, "Yuyu, what are you looking for?"

Victor thought for a moment and answered the system using the new words he had just learned, "Hmm... step out of your comfort zone?"

The system, which was not quite awake at first, thought it had heard wrongly. When it realized that it had not heard wrongly, it was suddenly awakened by him and rolled off his shoulder to the ground with a plop.
