Ye Ge gave a smile, and spoke again, "Thank you, dear."
"What's there to thank."
Without finishing all the food, they started focusing on eating again.
But the conversation from the people at the table next to them was gradually getting louder.
Person A: "Do you know? There's a rumor that a high-ranking official in court will be retiring and heading back to his hometown soon."
Person B: "You mean the one who could summon wind and rain, whom even our Emperor had to give him three days' deference?"
Person A: "Yes, him. His retirement is sudden, the Emperor must be relieved now. He had been suppressed by him for over a decade. Do you remember the old saying: in the court, we know not of the Emperor but of him. Now that he is stepping down, the Emperor's days of turning over are coming!"
Person B lowered his voice abruptly, "Shh, we should not be discussing court matters, to avoid stirring up trouble."
Nan Feng had excellent hearing, as did Ye Ge.
