nk she could be this stupid.She left him at home all day, starving and he didn't even go out to find food. Now she actually thinks he hasn't eaten.Who would be so foolish as to find something themselv...Gong Yu blushed and said awkwardly.

"I am not yet married and have no children."

"Shame on me, shame on me."

After saying that, Gong Yu picked up her chopsticks and bowl, starting to eat as if she didn't want to talk about the subject any further.

He took a mouthful of fish meat and paused, then tasted it again. His eyes widened in surprise. He looked at the fish meat in the bowl with an expression of disbelief.

"There are such delicious fish in this world."

Upon hearing this, Zong Bo chuckled and came closer.

"Palace Master, I didn't lie to you, did I"

"Eat quickly, eat it all up and then take some more. Otherwise, there won't be any left soon."

Gong Yu blushed and shook her head, "This fish is worth a thousand gold."

"Gong Mo is fortunate to have tasted it once, and I dare not crave more."

"Where did Gong Yu come from, that bookworm hiding in some mountain cave Even Mu shi couldn't help but glance at him and said persuasively."

"Lord Gong, please don't be so restrained. Just eat freely."

As soon as Mu spoke to him, Gong Yu's face flushed even redder.

"Many thanks, Madam, for your kindness."

"I understand."

He picked up the bowl and, in stark contrast to his earlier polite and refined dining posture, started eating with gusto, shoveling mouthful after mouthful into his mouth. He didn't even wait for what was already in his mouth to be swallowed before stuffing more in.

In a short while, he stuffed his mouth until it was round and bulging, and kept stuffing it in.

Zong Bai's clipped vegetables and meat were gone in a flash. Eating too hastily, as he was doing, often led to choking.

Gung Yu pounded his chest, "Damn it, trouble, please get me a glass of water."

Zong Bai saw the situation and quickly shoved a cup of water into his hand, while also afraid of hitting Gong Yu's back.

"Master Palace, I wanted you to eat a little more quickly, but you don't have to eat so urgently that you choke yourself like this."

"Don't worry, my sister-in-law prepared plenty of ingredients today. I said it would run out soon just to tease you."

It's okay to eat slowly.

Fang Jinshi prepared five large fish weighing over four kilograms each today, along with four kilograms of beef, four kilograms of mutton, four kilograms of pork, and a variety of other side dishes. It's definitely enough for so many people to eat.

Gong Yu quickly drank some water to swallow the food in his mouth, and then quietly glanced at everyone's reactions.

He wasn't usually this clumsy. Why was he making such a fool of himself at someone else's house today

King Jing still ate at his usual leisurely pace. Fang Jinshi would occasionally glance their way, but most of the time she was too busy dipping her chopsticks into the pot and feeding bites to her son.

Besides Zong Bai, who was sitting next to him and showed more care, the others didn't seem to be mocking him.

Palace Elm let out a breath.

"It's alright, thank you, Zong Bai little brother."

He didn't dare to look in Mu Shi's direction anymore, the rest of the time was spent concentrating on finishing his meal.

After dinner, everyone patted their bellies, looking very satisfied.

Even Prince Jing, who was always so well-behaved and even had a set amount of food he ate at meals, ate too much.

The steward was quite pleased, wiping a tear from the corner of his eye.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the King eat with such an appetite."

Since the princess's accident, the king has been listless and despondent. He eats only to survive, anything will do.

Fang Jinshu took out the self-made hawthorn digestif she had made and let Xiaoyue distribute it to everyone.

Jing Wang looked at the red pill in front of him, raising an eyebrow.

"What is this"

Fāng Jǐnxiù explained, "To aid digestion, I think the Lord today has eaten quite a bit. After eating this, his stomach will feel more comfortable later."

Her homemade indigestion tablets work much better than any digestion tea, taking effect in no more than two cups of tea's time.

It stands to reason that Entrance matters would be very cautious, but today at Fang Jinshi's place, he broke the precedent once.

He took the antacids, and the butler was still a little worried.

"My lord, I'm afraid this is not appropriate."

Fu Shangyuan raised his hand to stop him.

"Smooth sailing."

He saw that Dong'er and Yuanbao had also eaten, so Fang Jinshu wouldn't harm him, at least she didn't have a reason to harm him now.

After dinner, Gong Yu bid farewell. He had made a big fool of himself today and was too embarrassed to stay any longer.

Fang Jinxiu hurriedly called out to him.

"Lord Gong, please wait."

She sent the invitation for Xiaoyue's coming-of-age ceremony.

"Tomorrow, our manor will be hosting a feast of a hundred vegetables. We hope that Lord Palace will grace us with your presence."

Gong Yu received the invitation. Logically, he didn't have much to do with this family, but he had unexpectedly helped them once and shouldn't have repeatedly knocked on their door with such audacity.

"Well, I will definitely be here tomorrow."

"Lady Zong, please stay a moment. Thank you for your generous hospitality today."

"Farewell."

She watched as Gong Yu hesitantly mounted the carriage, unable to help but smile and shake her head.

I never expected there to be such a socially anxious official in the court. He thought they were all cunning and scheming individuals with malicious intentions.e wouldn't be so generous."Is this medicine truly harmless to his body" Gu Liusheng asked hesitantly.He also knew that to employ someone without suspicion, Fang Jinshu's medical skills had also been t...
