Chapter 354 Jiang Zhiyuan actually woke up

Three new dishes were placed on the table.

This time, before the King of Jin could introduce them, someone stood up and asked, "Your Highness, what are these three dishes?"

The King of Jin pointed to a plate of corn and said, "This is roasted corn."

"It is fresh corn roasted and sprinkled with spices."

The corn on the plate was cut into pieces and neatly arranged on the plate, emitting bursts of roasted aroma.

At first, Xia Miaoyuan taught the King of Jin to roast a whole corn on the stove.

However, the King of Jin was worried that it would be too vulgar to bring the whole corn to the hall and let the princes and ministers hold a corn in their hands and eat it, so he asked the chef to roast the corn and cut it into small pieces.

The King of Jin pointed to another dish and said, "This is boiled corn. It is made by boiling fresh corn in well water."

The boiled corn was cooked in the same way. After being cooked, it was cut into pieces and arranged in exquisite shapes.

The King of Jin pointed to the third dish and said, "This is called pine nut corn. It is fresh corn kernels and pine nuts fried together."

This time, the guests started eating one after another after the King of Jin finished introducing it.

Before long, the sound of chewing could be heard in the hall.

Just when everyone's attention was focused on the food, Master Jiang, who was sitting in an inconspicuous position, quietly retreated to the door of the hall, holding the hem of his robe.

The guard at the gate stopped him and said, "The palace banquet is not over yet, where are you going, Master Jiang?"

Master Jiang covered his stomach and frowned deliberately, "I ate too much just now, and now my stomach hurts so badly. I have to go to the bathroom right away."

The two guards looked at Master Jiang and let him go.

At this time, in the hall, a lot of praises rang out!

"These corn dishes are really delicious!"

"I didn't expect that this corn looks weird, but it tastes so sweet. Even the simplest boiled corn is so delicious!"

Xia Miaoyuan saw the scene in the hall and felt secretly happy. At the same time, he was also proud, "Humph! You were arrogant before and believed in rumors casually. Are you convinced now? 】

【I conquered you successfully with just some homely dishes. 】

After finishing the corn series, Prince Jin had the last series served.

The dishes this time were stewed pork with potatoes, fried potato balls, and French fries.

The French fries were specially drizzled with a little ketchup.

Everyone praised it highly after tasting it.

The guests couldn't help but eat an extra bowl of rice for this dish of stewed potatoes and meat.

The noble ladies, for the sake of their image, suppressed their appetite and didn't eat too much.

As for the military generals and some civil officials with poor self-control, they ate several bowls of rice in a short time, and some couldn't help burping.

Emperor Mingxi looked at the people in the hall, who were wiping their greasy lips and seemed to be unsatisfied, and smiled so hard that his eyebrows were hidden.

At this time, the leader of the secret guards, Cheng Feng, quietly walked up to Emperor Mingxi and whispered something in his ear.

Emperor Mingxi immediately breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Xia Miaoyuan quietly observed Emperor Mingxi's expression and also breathed a sigh of relief, [It seems that the tasks outside the palace were completed smoothly! ]

It turned out that while the guests were enjoying themselves, the secret guards, together with the imperial guards, had quickly searched the Tianxiang Restaurant and the Liang Residence. They also searched the Niu Mansion.

All the people in these three places were arrested.

The restaurant and the two mansions were also turned upside down.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Chaozong's other shops and businesses in the capital were also searched.

At the same time, on the other side, Master Jiang had already run to the palace gate and got on the Jiang Mansion's carriage.

"Hurry! Get back home!" Grand Tutor Jiang shouted at the driver.

The carriage immediately started running with a clang of bells, and it was very eye-catching on the streets of the capital.

Before long, the carriage had arrived at the Jiang Mansion.

Grand Tutor Jiang jumped off the carriage and ran towards the main courtyard without stopping.

After arriving at the main courtyard, Grand Tutor Jiang shouted to the servants in the courtyard: "Everyone, get out!"

The old women, maids, and servants who were originally busy in the courtyard all left the main courtyard with their heads down.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Madam Jiang asked in shock.

Madam Jiang was feeling a little unwell today, so she did not go to the palace banquet.

Grand Tutor Jiang ran into his study in a hurry, and after entering, he locked the door from the inside.

"Master! What's going on? Did something happen?" Madam Jiang stood outside the study door, calling anxiously, but Grand Tutor Jiang said nothing.

There was only a crackling sound of rummaging through things in the study.

"Master, Master, what's wrong with you?" Madam Jiang's tone became more and more anxious.

At this time, Jiang Ergou, the servant beside Grand Tutor Jiang, ran over breathlessly.

Jiang Ergou had been following Grand Tutor Jiang, but Grand Tutor Jiang ran too fast just now, and he couldn't catch up, so he ran over now.

"Ergou, what happened at the palace banquet today? Why is Master so abnormal?" Madam Jiang asked anxiously.

Ergou scratched his head, "I have been waiting outside the palace gate, and I don't know the details. I only heard the guards mutter a few words. I only know that today's palace banquet is not peaceful. The emperor seems to have arrested someone at the palace banquet."

"Also, the master did not wait for the palace banquet to end today, and left first. When our carriage went back, the carriages of other families were still waiting outside the door." When

Mrs. Jiang heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she murmured, "Something bad has happened!"

After that, she lifted her skirt and went to the backyard.

Half an incense stick later, there was a click from the study door, and the study door opened. Master Jiang glanced around with a sly look, and then put a small cloth bag into his arms.

Then, he glanced at Ergou who was waiting in the courtyard and whispered, "Ergou, prepare the car, let's go now!"

But just as he finished speaking, a tall figure walked into the main courtyard.

When Master Jiang and Jiang Ergou saw the figure, they were immediately frightened and froze.

"Big...big...big...young master..." Jiang Ergou stuttered.

After a moment, Jiang Ergou recovered and said in surprise: "Young master, you finally woke up!"

Jiang Ergou then turned his head to Jiang Taishi and said flatteringly: "Look, old master, the eldest young master finally woke up, it's really a great thing!"

As a result, before Ergou finished his words, Jiang Taishi's face darkened, waved at him, and signaled him to leave.

Jiang Taishi looked at Jiang Zhiyuan gloomily, then turned and smiled: "Yuan'er, you finally woke up!"

"Oh, it's really great!"

Jiang Taishi stepped forward and shook Jiang Zhiyuan's hand with concern.

Suddenly, Master Jiang seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly widened his eyes and said: "Yuan'er, hide first!"

"Well, I'll let Ergou hide you in the other courtyard first."

"You must not spread the news that you woke up! If it spreads, you will die. The emperor will chop off your head."

"Fortunately, fortunately, there are no other servants in this courtyard just now, only Ergou."

Master Jiang chattered a lot, but Jiang Zhiyuan said nothing, just frowned and looked at Master Jiang.
