Soon it was time to eat, and in front of everyone were hot meals brought out from the imperial kitchen.

Zheng Xiu and those who carried people had also completed the transaction at this time.

At this time, although Zheng Xiu was covered in dust and there were a few footprints on his clothes, he was sitting behind the food table.

Yes, the food given to the ministers is different from the food given to the prisoners in the prison.

Zheng Xiu was thinking while looking at the dishes on the food table.

Yuanbao chicken, Bazhen duck, steamed fish, pagoda meat, and even a pot of aged wine.

You know, Zheng Xiu hasn't eaten anything since he was released from the prison, and he is so hungry that he is so hungry now.

Naturally, he didn't care about other people's eyes now, so he directly picked up a chicken leg and started chewing it.

A few minutes passed, and the originally good chicken was eaten away with only the bones left.

A sharp contrast to others.

After all, when eating, most of the civil servants in Daxia still have the habit of never getting tired of fine food and fine food.

They are generally very elegant, and even the lowest-level officials will not eat so tastelessly.

As for the nobles on the other side, they didn't even bother to eat these. If it weren't for the empress's sake, they wouldn't even move their chopsticks.

What should I do if a bunch of ordinary chickens and ducks are eaten in my mouth and my teeth are hit by stones?

However, military generals don't have so many rules. They eat at about the same speed as Zheng Xiu, but they don't eat as cleanly as Zheng Xiu.

Because they watched helplessly as the duck on Zheng Xiu's case disappeared after a few minutes.

The fish has only one fish bone left.

Meat, Zheng Xiu wanted to lick the plate clean.

As for the bottle of wine, Zheng Xiu drank it in one go.

Zheng Xiu ate very quickly and moved very quickly. In addition, he was already being watched by many people.

So naturally more and more eyes were focused on him, and even the empress noticed his current appearance.

It's just that Zheng Xiu didn't have that consciousness, and still chewed the fish bone without any image, leaving only a big thorn.

"Zheng Aiqing is not full? If Aiqing is not full, I will ask them to make more."

"Okay, I haven't eaten such delicious food since I came here."

Zheng Xiu's words were so harsh that the empress' face twitched. What does it mean since she came here?

Did you mean after you were in prison, or since you became an official?

Other officials just ignore it, but you, Zheng Xiu, are the only ones who can't reach you?

"Come here, give Zheng Aiqing more food until he can't eat any more!"

After the empress finished speaking, someone immediately started serving dishes to Zheng Xiu.

The dishes this time are obviously better than before, with larger portions and better taste. It seems to have been upgraded to a higher level.

After Zheng Xiu saw these dishes, he didn't show any courtesy and just picked them up and ate them.

When his body was strengthened by Wen Qi before, it also consumed energy.

Although general literary baptism can make people's memory stronger, thinking speed faster, and beliefs firmer, it will not have any impact on the body.

The reason why Zheng Xiu's body can be strengthened has to do with the strengthening of the system.

If the system upgrades your level for you, it doesn't mean that your level will be raised to that level.

Instead, we will help you repair all hidden damage.

Zheng Xiu's foundation was not good before, and her body was relatively weak. After the Wen Qi entered the body, part of it was often lost.

Therefore, the system directly repaired those hidden injuries, and directly repaired them to the strongest state.

This is also the reason why Zheng Xiu didn't feel tired at all when he was fighting all the time.

If other martial arts practitioners knew about this kind of thing, they would be jealous.

Because that kind of body is already the most suitable body for cultivation. Whether it is practicing martial arts, cultivating immortals, or becoming a demon, it will be done with twice the result with half the effort.

But then again, energy does not arise or disappear out of thin air.

Zheng Xiu didn't feel uncomfortable at that time because Zheng Xiu's deficit in "uncomfortable" was also forcibly compensated by the system.

It's probably because the faucet above the pool is discharging water, but the lid underneath is not plugged. Although there is always water in the pool, it will drain out sooner or later.

Now when the body discovers an energy source, it immediately absorbs it, just like an unblocked pool has found a stopper.

He began to use the energy from food to replenish his own deficit, which caused Zheng Xiu to be in a state of not having enough to eat.

As more and more plates were placed in front of Zheng Xiu, some people gradually began to put down their chopsticks.

I can't eat it anyway, so I might as well watch others eat it.

When you have an appetite, you take a bite. When you find that it is not that delicious, you continue to look at it. Then you find that it is not delicious again, and the cycle continues.

And Zheng Xiu was so immersed in the taste of food that he didn't care about the people around him at all.

While absorbing energy and enjoying delicious food, you can even feel that your body is being perfected little by little.

It's simply a good thing that kills three birds with one stone.

You should know that although Zheng Xiu had not calculated how much money he had saved, it was not easy for him to live in the capital.

Just from that shabby little yard, Zheng Xiu knew that even the money he saved might not be enough for him to have a meal.

As for the empress entertaining the ministers at a banquet, not everyone has the chance to encounter it. It is hard to say that there will be no such shop in this village.

Eat as much as you can, so that you won't be hungry for three days after one meal.

Zheng Xiu ate in a daze for an hour before finishing the meal.

And by the time he finished eating, the civil servants no longer wanted to eat at all.

Originally, it was quite uncomfortable to think that I was eating decapitated food.

They feel uncomfortable when they see people not only eating all the time, but also eating with gusto, and the more they watch, the more uncomfortable they become.

One of them, Jiuchuan, couldn't bear it anymore, so he recited a poem based on his feelings.

"When a bow is opened without turning back, it is difficult to retrieve it after it has been splashed with water."

"If I had known that today would happen, why would I have done this in the first place?"

The poem caused a slight literary shock, but it was just a poem at the county level.

Seeing this scene, the official didn't feel surprised or embarrassed, but stood up slowly.

"Don't be complacent, Zheng. When I was your age, I was no worse than you are now."

"You have an emperor who is willing to support you, you have the ability to establish yourself, and you have outstanding abilities. I look at you now as I look at myself ten years ago."

"But let me tell you, you have nothing to be proud of. In ten years' time, that moment will be exactly like this."

Before the man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the empress.

"That's enough. You stupid jackal, are you worthy of being compared with Zheng Xiu?"

"At that time, the late emperor saw that you had great literary talents, and you were very eloquent. You wrote two Mingzhou poems every day. He thought you were capable and asked you about politics three times."

"In the first locust plague, you said that if you follow the ancient law and sacrifice to the locust god, you will be forgiven and the locust plague will disappear. The emperor does not allow it!"

"The second drought, you said that according to the ancient law, you said that you would sacrifice to the water god and get forgiveness, and the drought would disappear on its own, but the emperor didn't allow it!"

"The third food harvest was bad, and the late emperor sent you to provide disaster relief. In order to return to Beijing as soon as possible, you distributed disaster relief money along the way. The temple gave eight hundred and the Taoist temple one thousand. After arriving in the disaster area, half of the two coins used for disaster relief were left, and you still said that it was enough.
