Chapter 747: Chapter 747: I’m Dinning With You_1

The Emperor accepted the book and looked at Nan Feng, "If the records from your side indicate that this sapling is the passion fruit, I will hold you accountable."

Nan Feng was not worried, "Your Majesty, please do as you see fit."

But the Emperor, who had been looking at the book for a long time, remained silent.

The less he spoke, the more anxious Zhang Guipin and Ning Liangpin became.

This was a tactic the Emperor had learned from Qin Kun - the more impatient one became, the guiltier they seemed.

The Emperor’s mental fortitude had been honed by Qin Kun.

After studying for a while, he moved the book aside and scanned the group below.

Jiang Guipin and Ning Liangpin were visibly tense, while Nan Feng remained calm.

"The picture in this book differs from the sapling you gave to Siyuan," the Emperor said.

"Well... Your Majesty, it might... It might have been a mistake made by my family’s servant. He could have mistaken it for a different sapling," Jiang Guipin answered, thinking quickly.

"Oh? Which servant?" the Emperor inquired.

"A servant I sent out of the palace to fetch the sapling. He handed it to a eunuch from my mother’s house," Jiang Guipin explained.

"So, the issue is with your inability to discipline your servants," the Emperor stated coldly, adding pressure to those below.

"I will discipline my staff properly," responded Jiang Guipin.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor asked further, "How will you discipline them? Both your servant and your mother’s family’s servant ought to be punished, right?"

After saying that, the Emperor started to drink his chrysanthemum honey.

"Your Majesty..." While Jiang Guipin had always protected her servants, she had no choice but to grit her teeth at the Emperor’s probing, "Each of them is to be beaten with thirty heavy strokes and exiled from the mansion."

Meanwhile, Nan Feng sneered inwardly.

A failed plot had ended up sacrificing two servants.

The matter was settled with the Emperor’s wave of dismissal to Jiang Guipin and Ning Liangpin.

However, the Emperor remained and leisurely continued drinking his chrysanthemum honey.

Unable to help herself, Nan Feng reminded him, "Your Majesty, it’s time for lunch."

Setting down his honey chrysanthemum tea, the Emperor replied, "Good, prepare lunch then."

"Have it delivered here? Your Majesty, I’m afraid it’s not appropriate. The journey from Dragon Cloud Palace to Siyuan is quite long, I worry the food will be cold on the way," said Nan Feng.

"No need to get it from there, I’ll eat here, closer is better," said the Emperor.

"..." Nan Feng looked at the Emperor, "Your Majesty, you want to dine in Siyuan? But you require eighty-one dishes per meal, and Siyuan collectively only has four dishes."

After saying this, Nan Feng asked Little Jinzi, who was fanning the Emperor, "Little Jinzi, how many dishes does the kitchen have today?"

Little Jinzi replied, "Lady Nan Feng, there are three dishes in total: stewed radish with bone, fresh vegetables, and pork offal stir-fried with vegetable hearts. But Little Fuzi has prepared two chicken legs for you."

Here, they partake in communal meals, where many ingredients are cooked into a single pot.

After hearing this, Nan Feng looked at the Emperor, "Your Majesty, you heard that, right? The food here is too humble, it may not suit your palate."

The Emperor looked at Nan Feng, "One can get tired of exotic delicacies, occasionally having communal meals isn’t bad."

The eunuch behind him, Wanan, was very observant. Upon hearing the Emperor’s remark, he quickly told Little Jinzi, "What are you waiting for? Serve the meal to His Majesty quickly."

"Yes, I’ll go right away!"
