It was interesting. The key was that the Emperor realized that he was really hungry by the smell.
The first to act in this group was Eunuch De. He picked up the bamboo stick and was about to taste it for His Majesty when he heard the server say tactfully, "It's windy outside. Why don't you go in with me and sit down to taste it slowly?"
The Emperor glanced at the commoners who were queuing up to taste the food and did not say anything. The hall was filled with people. There was a steaming pot on every table, and there were no empty seats as far as the eye could see.
The server did not stop and brought them straight into the private room.
Imperial Censor Zuo had a lot to say.
As soon as the server left, he couldn't wait. "Your Majesty, you don't leave the palace often. Perhaps you can't tell. This is clearly a shady shop!"
The Emperor took the mutton skewers that Eunuch De had already tried and asked absent-mindedly, "Oh?"
