Chapter 147 Accepting the Order
Chapter 147 Accepting the Order
Eunuch Zheng came out of the palace very early to announce the decree, and he went to Zheng Mansion first.
There was no one in the mansion, not even the person in charge. He found out that the restaurant under Miss Zheng's name had reopened today.
Eunuch Mu would certainly not miss such a good opportunity to curry favor with Miss Zheng. He was also afraid that the emperor would blame him if he made the decision on his own after returning to the palace.
So he hurried back to the palace and reported to the emperor about the reopening of Zheng Sisi Restaurant. When the emperor knew about it, he praised him for being smart and knowing to report back to the palace first.
Then the emperor went to the private warehouse himself to pick out gifts, and asked Eunuch Mu to go directly to the restaurant to announce the decree.
Eunuch Mu was very glad that his decision was right. He also went back to the yard and picked out a valuable gift to congratulate Zheng Sisi.
So when Eunuch Mu rushed to the restaurant, it was already noon, and this was the time when the most guests were dining.
After Eunuch Mu and several eunuchs got off the car, the guests sitting near the door of the hall were very confused when they saw them. They wondered why so many eunuchs came to the restaurant. Were they here to eat too?
Even though the food in this restaurant is delicious, the news shouldn't spread so quickly.
As soon as a few people walked into the hall, they were surprised by the waiter's words: "Hello! Welcome!"
What was going on? There was a welcome message at the door, which made him freeze in place.
They glanced at each other again. Nanny Li was counting the bill at the counter. A customer was paying the bill, but Nanny Li didn't care about the customer who was paying the bill. When she saw Eunuch Mu, she hurried out to greet him.
"Eunuch Mu, why are you here?"
Eunuch Mu came back to his senses: "You are not in the mansion. I went to the mansion to announce the decree, but I didn't see anyone, so I came here. Where is Miss Zheng? Ask her to come and receive the decree."
Nanny Li wondered what eunuch Mu came to announce, so she asked the waiter to go upstairs and ask the young lady to come down to receive the order.
So when Zheng Sisi brought a group of people down, everyone in the hall looked at her and there was silence.
Zheng Sisi paused for a moment, but still walked towards Eunuch Mu.
When Eunuch Mu saw Zheng Sisi coming down, his old face turned into a chrysanthemum smile: "Miss Zheng, I finally found you, making it so easy for this old servant to run! Quick! Quickly accept the order!"
Zheng Sisi looked around and said, "It's not good to be here. It's so crowded. Why don't we go back home?"
The guests sitting next to me were watching the excitement and suddenly wanted to leave. I said, "Girl, don't push, don't push, just let us make way."
Then he stood up and said, "Everyone, move the tables and make some room for the girl."
Everyone had the same intention of watching the fun and cooperated in moving the tables and chairs. After all, common people had almost no chance to see the scene of the imperial edict being announced. Today there was an opportunity and everyone wanted to watch and participate so that they could brag about it for years when they returned.
Zheng Sisi was helpless.
Hearing that the imperial edict was being read here, someone quickly ran to the private room upstairs to inform his companions and relatives and friends.
The eight noblemen behind Zheng Sisi were so surprised that their mouths opened wide enough for a fist to fit in.
Just to announce the imperial edict, Eunuch Mu had to go in person, and there were usually several eunuchs who were specifically responsible for announcing the imperial edict.
Eunuch Mu seldom went to other people's houses to announce imperial decrees unless there were special circumstances.
Judging from the way Eunuch Mu spoke, he seemed very familiar with the subject!
They thought about what the girl had just said. Is it too late for them to regret now?
Seeing how familiar he and Eunuch Mu were, she didn't lie. She had been to the palace and met the emperor. What should she do now? She couldn't run away. The third prince was still there.
While everyone was moving the tables and chairs, the Third Prince asked Eunuch Mu, "Is it appropriate to announce the decree here?"
Eunuch Mu whispered, "It's okay. The emperor has allowed it. He also wants to build momentum for Miss Zheng, support her, and intimidate those who don't know how to see things."
The third prince nodded and said nothing more, then looked at the people who followed him.
People kept coming down from the private room upstairs, and Eunuch Mu saw many familiar faces inside.
Now, except for an empty space in front of him, the rest of the place is crowded with people and very lively.
