"Father! You can't do this. I spent a lot of effort to find those chefs. If I give them to you, what will happen to my Yue King's Estate?”
Zhu Zhanyong felt a little wronged. He had spent a lot of effort to nurture these chefs. They were gone for no reason. How could he be willing to accept this?
Zhu Gaochi glanced at him and said righteously,"
"Is your Yue Prince Manor more important or is my Great Ming Imperial Court more important? It's just a few chefs. You can't bear to part with them? If you're so rich, why don't you go find a group? Moreover, I'm your father. Do you dare to refuse me if I ask you for it?”
Looking at the righteous Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanyong was immediately rendered speechless.
Zhu Gaochi saw Zhu Zhanyong's speechless look and a trace of pride flashed across his face. He snorted in his heart,"
"Humph! Little bastard, I told you to laugh at your father. You think I can't deal with you?”
Ignoring Zhu Zhanyong's bitter face, Zhu Gaochi's appetite was aroused as he said,
"Come, come, come. Let's eat. I've been receiving guests and injured all day. I haven't eaten for the whole day.”
As he spoke, he was about to make a move. At this moment, the craving in his stomach was completely aroused.
"Father, the imperial physician said that you should avoid eating meat or spicy food during this period of time. For the first three days, it's best to focus on bland foods. It's best to only eat plain porridge."
Zhu Zhanyong, who had been tricked by his father, rolled his eyes and said the imperial doctor's instructions with a wicked smile.
"What? There was such a thing? Why didn't I know?"
Zhu Gaochi was dumbfounded. Wasn't this clearly telling him that he could only look at this table of delicious dishes and not eat them?
Zhang-shi reacted. Zhu Zhanyong's words instantly reminded her of the imperial physician's exhortations. She said directly,
"That's right. That's what the imperial doctor said. How could I have forgotten about this? You can't eat these vegetables! Someone, help the Crown Prince back to his room to rest. Then, ask the kitchen to make some porridge and send it to the Crown Prince later.”
"Don't, don't bid. How can you believe everything the imperial physician says? I'll just try a few mouthfuls, a few mouthfuls.”
"No, before your injuries recover, you're not allowed to touch me with any meat.”
Zhang shi was very unyielding, not giving Zhu Gaochi any face at all.
This time, it was Zhu Gaochi's turn to cry. What was going on?
The delicacies were just before the New Year, and he could only look at them but not eat them. Wasn't this torture?
Zhu Gaochi fiercely glared at Zhu Zhanyong and cursed in his heart.
This little brat only knew how to cheat his father.
Zhu Zhanyong was laughing in his heart. If a father could trick his son, he could naturally trick his father too. At the same time, he added insult to injury,
"Father, we'll eat first. Do you want to go back to your room or stay here and watch?”
Zhu Gaochi's face darkened, and he had the urge to slap this little bastard.
At the same time, he gave Zhu Zhanyong a look that told him to wait and see.
"What are you looking at? Go back to your room and recuperate.”
Zhang shi impolitely continued.
"What are you guys still standing there for? Help the Crown Prince back to his room to rest."
"Yes, sir!"
The eunuchs didn't dare to be negligent. In the Crown Prince's residence, the Crown Prince had the final say in major matters, but the prestige of the Zhang family was definitely greater than the Crown Prince's.
Zhu Gaochi smacked his lips as he was held up by a few eunuchs. He looked at the table full of luxurious delicacies with a reluctant expression. His fat face was filled with regret and pain.
He sighed in his heart. The most torturous thing in the world was to have a table full of delicious food in front of him.
He could only watch.
Can't eat!
"Hahahaha!"
Until Zhu Gaochi was carried away by a few eunuchs, Zhu Zhanyong finally could not help but burst into laughter.
His father's expression before he was dragged away was really funny.
"Is it funny? Do you like to tease your father that much?"
Zhang shi said in a bad mood.
"Who asked Father to trick me?"
Zhu Zhanyong said with a smile.
"Alright, your father is doing this for the dignity of the imperial court. You're still acting like a child. Later, get your chefs to prepare a few light dishes for your father. You don't really want your father to eat porridge, do you?”
"How can that be? Don't worry, Mother. I know a few good vegetarian dishes. They are light and delicious, just right for Father's current situation. I guarantee that Father will be satisfied."
"That's about right. Your father didn't dote on you for nothing! Alright, after a busy day, everyone should be hungry. Come, come, let's start the banquet.”
Zhang shi began to greet everyone with satisfaction.
Then, a luxurious yet ordinary family banquet began.
