Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

A man as timid as a mouse?

Me?

Fang Zheng Yi felt inexplicably stifled. In the past, his subordinates would desperately try to stop him whenever he wanted to do something.

This was the first time someone had ever called him timid as a mouse.

If I were timid as a mouse, would I be breaking the law and causing chaos every day?!

However, Emperor Jing was clearly hinting at something.

Based on his understanding of Emperor Jing, even if he didn't do it, it wouldn't matter much.

But if he backed down now, wouldn't that leave a bad impression on his father-in-law!

To do it or not to do it?

"What is it? Are you willing or not? If you're not willing, get out of here! You're an eyesore to me!"

Fang Zheng Yi sighed helplessly.

Forced onto the shelf, he had to take a gamble for the sake of the princess.

"I'm willing... but I can't guarantee that this matter will succeed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Jing's face immediately showed a satisfied expression.

"That's more like it. An official should be brave enough to take responsibility!"

"Don't be afraid if you can't do it. This matter is extraordinary. Even if it doesn't succeed, I won't blame you. You can rest assured."

"If necessary, you can borrow people from Guo Banban. I will inform him in advance."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Then I will take my leave."

Emperor Jing waved his hand, then, as if remembering something, he spoke again: "Wait a moment."

"Miao Han has not been feeling well recently. I suspect her old illness has relapsed. Go and take a look at her."

Huh?!

The princess's illness relapsed? That shouldn't be! Could there be another illness?

Fang Zheng Yi's face turned grave.

"Go... take a good look!"

Fang Zheng Yi then took his leave and turned to leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As he was about to head out, he saw Guo Tianyang walking over with a happy expression.

Guo Tianyang was in a very relaxed mood at the moment.

He had been chatting with people outside the Cabinet door and heard that glasses had a kidney-strengthening effect!

He immediately lined up to order a pair.

Only three hundred taels! This money was well spent. He would have to wear them even when sleeping!

Two pairs of glasses. Even if one pair breaks in the future, he would have a spare.

"Brother Guo!" Fang Zheng Yi didn't hesitate to stop Guo Tianyang, pulling him to the side of a pillar in the hall.

He whispered, "Brother Guo, I heard His Majesty say that the princess's old illness has relapsed? What illness did she get?"

Guo Tianyang looked at him with a strange expression: "His Majesty mentioned the princess to you?"

"Yes, and he even asked me to see a doctor!"

Hearing this, Guo Tianyang sighed deeply.

This sigh made Fang Zheng Yi's heart tighten a bit.

"The princess... she's not eating! She's lost weight!"

"What? That's it? It's just that she's not eating?" Fang Zheng Yi didn't react for a moment.

Guo Tianyang rebuked angrily: "What do you mean 'just not eating'! Can Her Highness compare to ordinary women? What if she starves and hurts her body!"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng Yi felt relieved.

Not eating is nothing! Damn, he was scared.

Isn't it normal for the little girls of later generations not to eat for a few days? Some even throw up after eating!

But why isn't she eating? Could it be that she's thinking of me?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng Yi smiled lewdly, but then became nervous again.

That's not right! He hadn't seen the princess for a long time since he kissed her last time.

Isn't this the behavior of a complete scumbag?

He had come empty-handed this time, he had to think of a way to get away with it!

With this, Fang Zheng Yi cupped his hands towards Guo Tianyang: "Thank you, Brother Guo, I have to go and see the princess!"

With that, he quickly left.

Guo Tianyang looked at his back and shouted loudly: "That direction is not to the Mingluan Hall! You're going the wrong way!"

Fang Zheng Yi didn't turn his head and waved his hand.

He naturally couldn't go to the Mingluan Hall at this time.

Although the princess had a good temper and a soft personality, what if she was angry? Which little girl wouldn't throw a little tantrum?

If she really couldn't eat because of him, then going straight to the Mingluan Hall to see her would be courting death!

He had to prepare something!

Fang Zheng Yi pondered what to prepare, and trotted all the way to the Imperial Kitchen.

The moment he appeared in the Imperial Kitchen, everyone inside stopped what they were doing and looked at Fang Zheng Yi in unison.

Everyone was wondering, except for eunuchs and cooks, basically no one in official uniform had ever been to this place!

Why was there a rare guest today? Judging by the official uniform, he was a high-ranking official!

A person who looked like the chief walked up to Fang Zheng Yi, bowed his head, and then said with a flattering expression: "Sir, what brings you to the Imperial Kitchen?"

"I am Fang Zheng Yi, I want to borrow the Imperial Kitchen for a while."

The chief took a step back in surprise: "Sir Fang? Greetings, Sir Fang! Forgive me for speaking frankly, but without the order of the eunuch above, the Imperial Kitchen cannot be lent to you."

"And... are you planning to use the Imperial Kitchen to cook?"

Fang Zheng Yi sized him up and smiled: "Are you the chief of the Imperial Kitchen? I'm here today to borrow the Imperial Kitchen to cook something. The princess is not feeling well, and His Majesty has specially ordered me to diagnose the princess. I am best at dietary therapy. If you don't believe me, you can ask Eunuch Guo."

The chief nodded unconsciously.

Everyone in the Imperial Kitchen knew that the princess didn't eat much.

But... which official would personally cook?

So he said hesitantly: "Sir Fang... are you sure you want to cook?"

Fang Zheng Yi strode into the kitchen and began to look around. All kinds of kitchen utensils were available.

There were also many kinds of ingredients, neatly arranged.

Such a pleasing kitchen was indeed rare.

"Stop talking nonsense, of course I want to cook! Can I disobey the imperial order? You do your work, just clear a space for me!"

Seeing Fang Zheng Yi's firm attitude, the chief didn't insist anymore. After all, this was the first time he had seen such a strange thing, so he ordered someone to find a place for him.

None of the imperial chefs were in the mood to work at this time. No one wanted to miss this rare scene.

Many people put down their tools and quietly looked at Fang Zheng Yi.

Fang Zheng Yi was not afraid of being watched by everyone. After turning around in the kitchen, he had an idea in his mind.

"Someone, get me flour, old dough, eggs, milk, honey..."

After he finished speaking, no one in the Imperial Kitchen dared to move. Everyone was still staring at him with curiosity.

Seeing this, the chief of the Imperial Kitchen hurriedly said: "Hurry up! Prepare for Sir Fang quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three or five people immediately stood out to prepare the materials for Fang Zheng Yi.

After all the materials were prepared one by one, Fang Zheng Yi pointed to the earthen oven not far away and said: "Can that be used? Light the stove later, the fire should be small."

The chief nodded repeatedly and ran to start the fire himself with excitement.

Interesting! Judging by this posture, this Sir Fang is really going to cook himself!

Strange!

Everything was ready, Fang Zheng Yi began to concentrate on pouring the flour on the chopping board, adding milk...

The imperial chefs began to whisper excitedly.

"Look... he can even knead dough!"

"He's kneading the dough! He's kneading the dough!"

"Keep your voice down, do you two want to die?!"
