By the time everyone returned to Fengtian Hall, it was already noon.
Zhu Di took all the civil and military officials into Fengtian Palace to hold a meeting to share the spoils.
Chen Kan was left complaining under the bright sun.
Because Chen Kan currently has no official position, he is not qualified to enter the hall.
Even entering the palace was specially ordered by Zhu Di and was a gift.
Chen Kan, a young man who was just growing up, was so hungry that his chest was touching his back.
Coupled with the hot weather, he is now hot, hungry and sleepy.
So Chen Kan decided to go home for dinner first.
But before he reached the palace gate, he was stopped by two guards.
"Mr. Chen, His Majesty has ordered that you must wait in the palace until the end of the court meeting before you can leave."
Chen Kan was dissatisfied and asked: "Why?"
"This is His Majesty's order."
Chen Kan frowned, but the two guards looked like they were out of touch.
It was a wise choice to turn around and go back to where we were.
"Gu...gu...gu"
After waiting for a long time, my stomach growled with hunger.
Chen Kan finally couldn't stand the boring atmosphere.
Turn around and walk towards the palace gate.
Then, as expected, he was stopped again.
"Step aside!"
"Mr. Chen, please don't make it difficult for me to wait."
The two imperial guards also looked embarrassed. After all, Chen Kan was the one whom His Majesty named to wait in the palace, and they did not dare to embarrass Chen Kan too much.
But they really didn't have the courage to let Chen Kan out.
Seeing that the two men were resolute, they refused to let him go out.
Chen Kan had no choice but to ask the next best thing: "Is there a place in the palace that takes care of food?"
The two guards looked at each other, and one of them pointed to the buildings on the west side of the royal road and said: That is the pro-military captain's mansion. Mr. Chen can go there to have a look.
"What about here?"
Chen Kan pointed to the larger palace complex on the east side of the royal road.
With so many houses, there should be a place to take care of the food, right?
The imperial guard said: "That's where the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War are located."
"oh!"
Chen Kan nodded and said, "I can go to all these places, right?"
"Can."
The two imperial guards said: "You can move freely within the three main halls of Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall and Jinshen Hall."
After confirming that he could wander around these places, Chen Kan turned around and left.
With such a big sun, whoever stays under it is a fool.
The two guards stretched out their hands and shouted: "Behind the three main halls is the palace city. Mr. Chen, please don't break in."
It's a pity that Chen Kan has gone away.
Their shouts were also carried far away by the wind.
Chen Kan walked to the buildings on the west side, raised his head and looked at the large characters "Pro-Army Captain's Mansion" on the plaque.
This should be the place that Zhu Di later changed to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army.
Chen Kan found a room that was smaller than the surrounding houses and got in.
Because Chen Kan felt that even in the palace, the kitchen would not be too luxurious.
The shabbiest thing in this building is probably the kitchen.
But after a moment, he rushed out holding his nose.
"Ugh, it's actually a latrine. Damn it!"
"Who the hell built such a luxurious hut? It's better than my room, damn!"
After jumping on his feet and cursing for a while, Chen Kan still couldn't get over his anger, so he picked up a stone from the flower bed nearby and threw it at the window of the hut.
Perhaps the window of the latrine was in disrepair, or perhaps Chen Kan was too strong and the window broke.
The stone thrown by Chen Kan also sank deeply into the cell.
"Ah~"
Suddenly a scream came from the cell.
Chen Kan was surprised: "Who?"
"Which man who was stabbed a thousand times sneaked up on me while I was going to the toilet?"
"Don't talk about martial ethics!"
Hearing the curses in the latrine, Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, and then ran away.
The people in the palace were either high officials or relatives of Zhu Di. Chen Kan, a small commoner, could not afford to offend.
Thirty-six strategies are still the best option!
After running far away from the confines of the pro-military captain's mansion, Chen Kan breathed a sigh of relief.
Touching his chest and sighing: "I'm impulsive. Impulsiveness is the devil."
Then he looked up and saw that he had arrived at the office area of the Ministry of Rites.
"Ministry of Etiquette, there should be a kitchen, right?"
Chen Kan muttered to himself uncertainly.
This time Chen Kan learned his lesson.
Since the shabby building is the hut, then the one that is slightly better than the hut should be the kitchen, right?
"You are the one!"
After finding a building that was neither big nor small, Chen Kan opened the door and walked in.
Although the words Ritual Warehouse are written on the corner of the door.
But Chen Kan was already hungry and anxious and didn't see it.
After walking through a long corridor, Chen Kan couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Because these things in front of me don't look like kitchen utensils.
"What is this thing?"
The thing in front of me looked like a pot, but not like a pot.
Chen Kan couldn't help but stretched out his fingers and fiddled with it.
Then it rolled and fell to the ground.
There was a loud "bang~" sound.
"Fuck!"
"Ah~"
Chen Kan was frightened by the loud noise.
But the other scream didn't belong to Chen Kan.
"There is someone, and it's a woman!"
Chen Kan turned his head and looked towards the corner where the scream came from.
He happened to meet a pair of big, watery and slightly panic-stricken eyes.
"Hmm, cute girl with big eyes?"
This is a bright girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a light yellow ethereal lady's skirt.
There are plum blossom hairpins on the left and right sides of the bun on the top of the head. The silver-white tassels on the hairpins are swaying, which is very cute.
Perhaps the noise Chen Kan made frightened her. At this time, she was bulging her cheeks and staring angrily at Chen Kan.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
The woman spoke, her voice clear and clear, like a bolt of lightning that instantly hit Chen Kan's heart.
"I'm going to suffer!"
His heart was beating very fast like a deer, and Chen Kan hurriedly bit the tip of his tongue.
The pain from the tip of his tongue made Chen Kan wake up instantly.
"No, women will only affect the speed at which I draw the sword.
What's more, this is a woman in the palace, who knows what the relationship between her and Zhu Di is.
Stealing women with Zhu Di, hiss~"
Chen Kan's mind was spinning and he quickly lowered his head and said, "Listen to, speak to, and see no evil."
But the woman obviously didn't intend to let Chen Kan go just like that. When she saw him lowering his head, she neither replied nor looked at him.
Dissatisfied: "Hey, let me ask you a question, who are you and what are you doing here?"
Chen Kan lowered his head and responded: "Sorry, I went to the wrong place!"
After saying that, he turned around without hesitation.
"stop!"
The woman quickly caught up with him, stopped in front of Chen Kan, put her hands on her hips and said, "You are so rude. I asked you, why didn't you reply?"
Facing a woman who was most likely Zhu Di's woman, Chen Kan was really miserable.
He returned cautiously: "My name is Chen Kan. I said I was hungry and came here to find something to eat. Do you believe me?"
