Han Du was naturally unceremonious and swallowed it in one gulp.

Seeing Han Du eating so happily, not only did he not hesitate at all, but he actually seemed to enjoy it very much. It's a little strange, is this thing really so good? The old man suddenly asked: "May I ask this little brother his name?"

"Oh, I don't dare. I've met your Excellency, Han Du," Han Du replied politely.

Who knew that when Han Du said his name, not only the two people on the left and right, but also the people around him looked at Han Du.

After hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "So you are Han Du, no wonder, no wonder."

Am I so famous?

Han Du looked at the old man confused.

When the old man saw Han Du looking at him, he changed the subject and asked, "Master Han just said that eating this is good for you. I wonder what the benefits are?"

Han Du didn't pay attention to the old man's strange eyes and said casually: "It's nothing. If you eat more, you can have a son."

When the old man heard this, he was stunned for a while. Swallowing the non-existent saliva, he pretended to be casual and asked, "Does Mr. Han really mean what he said?"

"Of course it's true." Han Du nodded and said firmly. He gave the old man a strange look and asked in surprise: "Why do you need it too, sir? No way~"

The old man's face suddenly darkened, and he said dissatisfied: "What are you talking about? At my age, my son has grown up, how can I still need this? Ahem, it's just that I think this is a banquet from the emperor after all, and we, as ministers, You must not let down the Emperor’s kindness.”

Han Du couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the old man, so the ancients could talk about double standards.

The old man teased Han Du without any hint of shame or anger. Instead, he asked openly, "How should you eat this? I didn't pay attention just now and didn't hear clearly."

Han Du taught the old man step by step, telling him that this thing must be swallowed in one bite to enjoy it.

While he was talking, the people around him raised their ears at Han Du. When Han Du finished speaking, they started to try it themselves.

After Han Du finished speaking, he watched the old man eat an oyster.

"Oh," the old man swallowed the oyster into his mouth, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Han Du didn't lie to him. It tasted really good, with a strange aroma. "It tastes really good." After saying that, the old man picked up another one and prepared to eat it.

Seeing this, other people no longer hesitated to take action.

Han Du smiled when he saw this. As expected, humans cannot escape the law of true fragrance.

When he turned around, he saw the proud brother who looked disgusted just now, lying on the low wooden table in front of him and fighting hard.

Brother Gao Ao, didn’t you look disgusted just now? The current situation fully demonstrates that your needs are somewhat urgent.

Brother Gao Ao seemed to feel Han Du's gaze. He turned around and smiled at Han Du and explained: "I think what the boss said is reasonable. After all, it is the emperor's intention. How can we, as ministers, live up to it?"

After saying that, regardless of whether Han Du believed it or not, he turned back and continued to focus on the oysters.

No need to explain, explanation is just a cover-up!

Seeing Brother Gao Ao concentrating so hard on eating, it seems that his needs are quite high.

Several people around tried to take a bite, but they didn't know if they didn't try it, and they were shocked when they tried it. In addition to the unique smell of the seafood, the fresh and tender texture is particularly delicious, which attracted several people to praise it.

After Han Du's intense eating just now, he no longer felt much hunger in his stomach. He glanced at the people around him who were starting to eat, and started eating slowly.

When Lao Zhu saw Han Du, he ordered the old eunuch to call him in.

When the old eunuch came to Han Du, Han Du was full and put down his chopsticks.

Looking back, he saw the old eunuch walking straight towards him, so he asked, "Why are you here, father-in-law?"

"Han Du, the emperor wants to see you." The old eunuch said with a slight smile.

When Han Du heard this, he suddenly felt strange. Why does Lao Zhu want to see me? Today is the court meeting. Didn't I just come and stand at the court meeting? When did Lao Zhu summon him? I am only an eighth-grade official, and I am not even qualified to enter the palace at this meeting. Even if they are discussing important matters, they are the business of the important ministers in front, and it is not their turn.

Han Du asked in confusion: "What does the emperor want from me?"

The matter was urgent, and even if the old eunuch wanted to explain, he couldn't explain it for a while, so he simply took Han Du's hand and turned around to leave.

"Don't ask, you'll know when you get there, so hurry up and leave."

Han Du had no choice but to nod in agreement. At the same time, he decided that he was being pulled by an old eunuch, which was quite embarrassing, so he twisted his wrist to break away.

The old eunuch didn't care, as long as Han Du could keep up.

Arriving at Fengtian Hall, Han Du was a little nervous looking at the situation in front of him, and Han Du was stunned for a moment.

What's going on here? Why is there no one to eat? Could it be that Lao Zhu didn’t take the lead in eating?

"Your Majesty, Han Du, pays homage to the Emperor." He stepped forward and saluted politely.

When Lao Zhu saw Han Du coming, he waved his hand casually to avoid Han Du's courtesy and asked him to get up.

His expression did not calm down, and he asked with a faint smile: "Have you finished eating?"

Han Du was stunned when he heard this, what happened today? Thinking about the ferocious-looking Lao Zhu, would he even care about whether he had eaten or not?

However, seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere here, Han Du did not act like a monster and replied honestly: "I've finished eating."

When Lao Zhu heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger.

Uncle Li on the side seemed to glance at Han Du and snorted secretly.

"What do you think these things taste like? Can they be eaten?" Lao Zhu continued to ask.

Han Du glanced at Lao Zhu strangely, why did he ask this? Don’t you know how these things taste and whether they are edible?

Combined with the current situation here, an idea came to Han Du's mind. Doesn't this mean that I'm going to do it? Thinking of this, Han Du suddenly showed bitterness on his face. Why do you need to bring me, an eighth-grade official with small arms and legs, into this fight between big guys like you?

Han Du did not answer immediately, but looked at Lao Zhu with a hint of pleading, hoping that Lao Zhu would let him go.

But when Lao Zhu saw Han Du, he hesitated, and a cold light shot towards Han Du in his eyes.

Han Du winced when Lao Zhu glared at him, and said quickly: "I think it is edible, and it tastes very good."

In the end, Han Du quickly followed his heart. If Lao Zhu wants to speak for himself, then he should follow Lao Zhu's wishes.

Lao Zhu received a satisfactory answer and turned to Li Shuzheng and asked: "Li Qing, why can others eat it and eat it well? Why do you think you can't eat it?"

Li Shuzheng did not answer, but turned to look at Han Du: "You are Han Du, right?"

"I have met Lord Shangshu. He is a lower official." Han Du recognized the official uniform of Li Shuzheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
