After she went back, she washed up and lay on the bed. Zhou Ying said dejectedly, “I thought I could taste a real royal chef’s cooking at the banquet and learn from it. 1 didn’t expect the banquet to be so shabby.”

“It’s already difficult to gather so many ingredients in such a year.” Gu Chengrui shook his head.

Da Ming appeared to have calmed down at the time, but the masses were still relying on the rice and flour they distributed. There was still a scarcity of meat.

“That’s true, but to be honest, that stir-fried meat is sure great.”

“Yours doesn’t lose out either.”

“It’s different. To put it bluntly, 1 still rely on various seasonings to cook.

“However, the chef relied on his skills.”

“So, you learned something from it?”

“Yeah, I’ll try again later. I don’t believe I can’t cook as well as him. It’ll do as long as it’s 90% similar.”

“I support you.” Gu Chengrui quickly nodded.

However, he internally dreads the days of tasting dishes, as it would be painful.

It seemed that he had to drag Brother Zhou along. Didn’t he like to eat Zhou Ying’s food? Let him come over and eat as much as he wants.

“Oh, right; why do you think the Emperor put you under Princess Ping Yang’s name? Is there some conspiracy?”

“It’s hard to say. The Emperor’s mind is not simple, but we must be more careful in the future.

Oh, right, and that ‘sister’ of yours. After suffering such a huge loss today, I’m afraid she won’t let you off easily.”

“Zhou Jiaqing is easy to deal with. Although she is ruthless, she doesn’t scheme.

“The troublesome one is her sister, Zhou Jiaying, who is also the concubine of the Fourth Prince.

“She’ll be a difficult woman to deal with. However, 1 heard that she’s about to give birth, so I’m sure she won’t have time to care about these dramas for now.”

“If the eldest son is born from a concubine, the Fourth Prince will be in for a lot of fun.” Gu Chengrui paused for a moment and gloatingly mocked.

“It has nothing to do with us. But no matter what, let’s not have anything to do with the Fourth Prince.”

“There’s no doubt about it. He didn’t help us when the Gu family was raided or even when the First Prince suppressed us with the waterwheel incident. I won’t forget about that.”

Zhou Ying nodded and told him how Yang Wanning was almost tricked today. “I suspect that the Empress is involved in this. We have to tread carefully.”

“That’s right. Back then, the First Prince’s party reported and raided the Gu family’s home. There is no way the Empress would let Yang Wanning rise.

“I’m sure the Yang family will have a good show tonight. Pay attention to it later and see if Yang Wanning is worth helping.”

“Alright.”

On the other hand, Zhou Huaiming didn’t return to the Zhou Clan immediately after returning to his residence. Instead, he followed the Third Prince to his study.

After he sat down, Zhou Huaiming stepped forward and bowed solemnly. “I, Zhou Huai Ming, pay my respects to King Rui. Long live, your Highness.”

The Third Prince glanced at him and said, “That’s enough. It’s just a title. Is there a need for that?”

“Why not?” Zhou Huaiming sat down.

“A prince is just an identity, indicating that you are the Emperor’s son. A King’s title is one of nobility and holds real commanding power.”

He asked in confusion, “But why did the Emperor confer all three of you as kings today? Did he deprive all of you of the possibility of inheriting the throne?

“Could it be that he has his eyes on the Seventh or the Ninth Prince inheriting?”

“It’s hard to say. Maybe he wants to sit on the throne for a few more years.

“After all, based on the First Prince’s current momentum, he will force the abdication in another two or three years even if the Emperor doesn’t step down.”

“Serves him right. He was the one who single-handedly supported the Marquis of Ding’an, the Sun family..”
