A moment later, the rich scent of eggs mixed with rice wafted over, causing Xiao Dezi, who was standing nearby, to swallow his saliva.

The young helper who was stoking the fire was stunned when he saw the golden Egg Fried Rice. He had never known that fried rice could be eaten this way.

However, Zhou Ying did not have the time to pay attention to them. She quickly took out a huge bowl, scooped all the Egg Fried Rice into it, and immediately put it into the thermal container.

Finally, she picked up the box and asked Xiao Dezi, “Do we need to prepare smaller bowls and spoons? If not, we can leave.”

“No need, no need. Everything is ready over there.” Xiao Dezi responded, then quickly brought her to the main courtyard.

That’s right. For the sake of safety, King Rui arranged for the Emperor and the others to sit at a separate table in the main courtyard.

There were also people guarding the entrance.

When the two of them went in, they were checked to make sure that there had no weapons before they were let in.

After entering the house, the Empress Dowager stopped Zhou Ying from bowing, saying, “Forget the pleasantries and please hurry up serving the Egg Fried Rice.”

“Yes.” Zhou Ying responded, then went forward to open the thermal container. After placing the bowl of Egg-Fried Rice on the table, she retreated to the side and waited.

“Not bad, not bad. It’s indeed very fragrant, and the color is also beautiful.” The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction.

“Yes, her cooking is not inferior to the imperial chefs in the palace.” The Emperor nodded in agreement.

Although the Empress didn’t like Zhou Ying, she had to admit that her cooking was excellent.

She immediately asked her personal palace maid to test for poison with a silver needle. After confirming there was no problem, the palace maid immediately scooped a small bowl for each of them.

The three immediately picked up their spoons and started eating.

In a short while, everyone finished their small bowl. The Emperor nodded in satisfaction and said, “Xiao Dezi, reward.”

“Thank you, Your Highness. This commoner will take her leave.” Zhou Ying quickly stepped forward and said.

“Mm. Remember to come to the palace to make hotpot the day after tomorrow.” The Emperor nodded and reminded Zhou Ying.

Zhou Ying immediately retreated after hearing that. Xiao Dezi chased after her and handed over two and a half gold nuggets. “This is the Emperor’s reward.” “Thank you.” Zhou Ying thanked him politely, accepted the reward, and turned to leave.

When she returned to the banquet, it was almost over. Only Mingyu and Yang Wanning were still waiting inside.

Seeing her coming back in, Mingyu immediately asked, “What did Zhou

Huaiming ask you to do? What took you so long?”

Zhou Ying didn’t hide anything from them and told them about the Egg Fried Rice.

When Mingyu heard that, she remembered the hotpot from the other day and immediately said, “Sister Zhou, I want to eat Egg Fried Rice tonight too.”

Zhou Ying shook her head. “Let’s just stir fry some dough. We don’t have any good rice, and lower-grade rice won’t taste good either.”

Haitang and her husband were familiar with the ingredients available in the manor, so Zhou Ying did not dare take out any of her rice from her interspace.

“I have some at home. 1’11 get someone to send it over later.” Mingyu replied.

“Alright, don’t mind if I use up all of it.” Seeing that she could not refuse, Zhou Ying had no choice but to agree.

She looked at Yang Wanning and said, “Come with us tonight. I’ll send someone to escort you back after dinner.”

“Perfect, then I won’t stand on ceremony.”

After that, the three of them returned to Zhou Ying’s residence.

After Zhou Huaiming finished his meal, he said to Gu Chengrui and Yang Zepeng, the son of King An, “You two continue; I have to interrogate a criminal.”

“A criminal?” Yang Zepeng asked.

Zhou Huaiming didn’t hide anything and told them someone had bumped into and stopped the wedding envoy earlier.

When Yang Zepeng heard this, he knew it was being taken seriously, not because of the incident itself but because of its implications.

Gu Chengrui naturally knew this as well.. The two of them asked at the same time, “Do you need help?”
