The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1825 The attendants went to Tingfeng Nunnery

The soldier standing in front of him held a sword and stood there stiffly, his face ashen, showing no expression when he saw Cheng Feng!

Just as Cheng Feng was about to ask the accompanying steward, the steward gestured with his chin toward the door of the main hall. The steward tiptoed out, and soon the door closed again!

When Cheng Feng saw the old butler, the old butler also saw Cheng Feng.

The old steward was also somewhat surprised. The Emperor had returned from Prince Pang's residence. He had seen this man more than an hour ago. Why was he here now?

"Your Highness, what brings you here at this hour? His Majesty has just summoned several ministers for a meeting! He's very busy right now!"

Is this a meeting? The Emperor was clearly angry, but Cheng Feng heard it even though he wasn't this close! "I've come to bring my uncle his lunch! I had Yu Hua fry some daylilies, and Shang Xi added a few more home-style dishes. Uncle didn't eat lunch, did he? I think he must be hungry by now!"

The old steward nodded. "I heard that the old lady fell ill, so the Emperor abandoned his official duties and left the palace. When he returned, he scolded Lord Ge, and now even more people are implicated. The heads of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Rites have all been summoned. The Ministry of Rites is definitely going to suffer this time! They've only been inside for a short while, so if the Prince wants to see the Emperor, he'll probably have to wait!"

Cheng Feng glanced at the two food boxes in the servant's hands. "I won't wait any longer. Leave the food boxes here. If Uncle wants to eat, I'll have the Imperial Kitchen heat them up tonight. But those fried daylily buds are perfect to eat now; they'll taste worse if eaten tonight. It's best to fry them in hot oil again before eating. If Uncle doesn't like them, I'll have Shang tide and Yu Hua make him a new batch tomorrow!"

The old butler asked Cheng Feng, "Aren't you going to wait?"

Cheng Feng glanced at the tightly closed doors of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. "I don't think it's a good time! This fire is getting so big, who knows who might get involved later?"

As soon as Cheng Feng turned around, the Imperial Advisor Huang Chenming rushed over! The group nodded, and the old steward had Huang Chenming brought into the hall, saying that the Emperor was waiting for him inside!

Seeing the situation, Cheng Feng saw no need to stay. "Old steward, I won't stay here. Remind my uncle to eat after he finishes his official duties!"

The old steward looked worried. "How can the Emperor possibly eat? He's so angry he's full!"

"If you don't eat at noon, won't you eat later?"

The old steward shook his head and sighed, "The Emperor is so busy with state affairs that his health is failing. He either skips dinner or lunch every day!"

"That won't do! Your health will collapse if you do that for too long!"

"Who says otherwise? If Your Highness stays to have dinner with the Emperor, the Emperor might be able to eat a few bites!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng realized the old steward meant he should stay and dine with the Emperor! What could he say? He'd stay! "Then I'll wait here! Have someone send the food to the Imperial Kitchen to reheat it! These fried daylily buds should be fried briefly before eating!"

The old steward smiled and nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to take the food box and hand it to the palace servant behind him, the elusive attendant appeared and opened the lid of the food box, releasing the aroma of fried yellow croaker.

The attendant sniffed and praised, "This fish is fried really well." He then picked one up, took a bite, and exclaimed, "Hmm, Yu Hua's cooking is far superior to those nuns'!"

Cheng Feng asked, "Did you go to Tingfeng Nunnery?"

"Yu Hua said that Tingfeng Nunnery was frying fish! I went to see what they were eating and tried some, but the fish they fried wasn't as good as Yu Hua's! Their fish was coated with too much batter, while Yu Hua's was just right!"

Cheng Feng asked again, "Did you come to my house today too?"

Cheng Feng clearly remembered that he hadn't seen this person at the Prince's Mansion today!

The attendant rolled his eyes at Cheng Feng with his dead fish eyes, "Wherever the Emperor goes, I'll follow. Do you even need to ask me that?" As he spoke, the attendant brought out a plate of small yellow flowers!

Cheng Feng held down the plate, "You can have two to try, but don't take the plate away. My uncle hasn't eaten yet!"

"By the time he finishes eating, let alone the yellow croaker, even the daylily buds will be cold! I might as well eat them for him! These little daylilies don't taste good when they're cold. The reason I didn't eat much at Tingfeng Nunnery was because their yellow croakers were already cold! Let me tell you, even if you fry them again, they're still not as crispy on the outside and tender on the inside as they are now! Crispy and tender, delicious!" With a gentle pull, the attendant loosened his grip. If Cheng Feng hadn't let go, the plate of fish would have been ruined!

The old steward disagreed: "Attendant, you can only eat half a plate. Leave some for the Emperor. The Emperor has never tasted Yu Hua's fried yellow croaker before!"

"Old man! Do you have any conscience? You make the horse run but don't give it any grass. You're going to kill me with exhaustion!" The attendant not only took a plate of yellow croaker, but also grabbed two crabs. And that wasn't all; he also took one of the two pots of warmed wine!

Then they sat on the stone steps and started eating crab.

Suiying, who was guarding Wan Lianxing, twitched his nose and muttered to himself: Why does it smell like fried fish and steamed crab?

Suiying's nose was as sharp as a dog's. If the Emperor hadn't been angry, he would have run out to see who was so blind as to eat fried fish and crabs outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation! He was still starving!

Cheng Feng squatted down beside his attendant and asked, "Did you go to the Han family today?"

The attendant glanced at Cheng Feng: "Your uncle's house?"

"The Han family is the Han family, and the Pang Prince's Mansion is the Pang Prince's Mansion. Don't associate me with him!" For a long time, Cheng Feng had kept himself completely separate from the Han family.

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha!" After the attendant finished laughing, he asked Cheng Feng, "Are you eager to sever ties with them?"

"It had nothing to do with us in the first place!"

The attendant reminded them, "Your Prince Pang's Mansion played a crucial role in the Han family's entry into officialdom; otherwise, how could the Han family have become officials?"

Cheng Feng couldn't argue with this. The Han family wanted to become officials, and her mother was determined to support them. Her mother had gone to great lengths for the Han family! Cheng Feng was also helpless, "Isn't that because my mother is confused!"

Upon hearing this, the attendant burst into another grotesque laugh, "Hahahaha! Hahahaha! Your mother is truly confused. The crimes committed by the Han family are enough to warrant the extermination of nine generations!"

Wan Lianxing, who was standing in front of the dragon's desk, glanced at Suiying. Suiying immediately understood, turned around and walked out. Once outside the main hall, the enticing aroma became even stronger. Following the scent, Suiying saw his attendant sitting on the stone steps and Cheng Feng squatting on the stone steps, the two of them talking.

Suiying ran over to Cheng Feng and asked, "Cheng Feng, did you bring this food?"

Cheng Feng nodded: "Home-style dishes!" At this moment, all he could think about was what his attendant had said: "The crimes committed by the Han family are enough to warrant the extermination of nine generations of their family!" In less than a year, what exactly had the Han family done?

Suiying kicked the attendant in the back, nearly sending him tumbling down the stone steps. "What are you laughing at! You're making the Emperor sick of laughing!"
