Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
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.
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?”
