The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 664 - 661: Adorably Stubborn

Chu’s Restaurant’s vegetarian buns?

Upon hearing this, Emperor Longteng showed a look of surprise.

It is well known that Monk Fengxi is an ascetic, with his level of cultivation, it’s not a big problem for him to go without food or drink.

Common grains and cereals are nothing to him but meat and wine that passes through his bowels.

"If my memory serves me right, the tastiest buns in the city should be the Spiritual Delicacy Buns from De Yue Building. I’ve had them in my younger days, they are even better than those made by the Imperial Chef."

Emperor Longteng knew only of De Yue Building in Purple Cloud City.

"The buns from Chu’s Restaurant are delicious."

Monk Fengxi spoke concisely, yet his certainty was unwavering, as he set aside the pastries, no longer willing to touch them.

Ever since he got used to eating the vegetarian buns from Chu’s Restaurant, Monk Fengxi had grown accustomed to having two each morning, along with a bowl of cabbage soup.

Of course, the most delicious were those few brought by Xin Lin, even though he had only eaten them once.

Emperor Longteng was speechless, his curiosity about Chu’s Restaurant grew even more.

Had anyone else spoken to Emperor Longteng in this manner and shown such disdain for his pastries, they likely would have been dragged out and beheaded long ago.

But the Monk Fengxi before him was different.

Ever since Chu Beiqing lost his mind, there hasn’t been anyone around Emperor Longteng who would speak their mind.

To Emperor Longteng, Monk Fengxi’s objection sounded refreshingly agreeable.

"It seems I have not left the palace for too long and am out of touch. Tomorrow, I shall leave the palace and try these vegetarian buns from Chu’s Restaurant you speak of."

Emperor Longteng, persuaded by Monk Fengxi, was eagerly anticipating trying the vegetarian buns from Chu’s Restaurant.

"There’s no chance now, Chu’s Restaurant has been closed down."

Monk Fengxi said indifferently.

Chu’s Restaurant had shut its doors for good. Ma Jingtian had even made a special trip to Taichang Temple to apologize and return the deposit given by the Temple a month earlier.

It was said that the closure was due to an order from the Empress Dowager to rectify the Spiritual Food Restaurants in the city, closing down any without qualifications.

Emperor Longteng was taken aback again.

Closed down?

There seemed to be a hint of resentment in Monk Fengxi’s tone?

Emperor Longteng shook his head, it couldn’t be.

Monk Fengxi was a renounced monk, his senses purified, how could he have the emotions of worldly people? He must have heard wrong.

"To be able to make such delicious buns, why would they be closed down? It seems I really must take a trip to the city, after all. Next month, on my birthday celebration, I had wanted to find a Spiritual Cuisine Master to preside, to entertain the guests from various countries. For the banquet, the Empress Dowager has also reminded me to make sure the pastries and snacks are properly prepared."

Emperor Longteng hadn’t inquired about this matter before because Empress Feng was already solely handling the birthday celebration.

He usually did not concern himself with such trivial matters.

"If I could have the vegetarian buns from Chu’s Restaurant at the banquet, that would be wonderful."

Monk Fengxi is truly stubborn about these buns.

Emperor Longteng couldn’t help but find it amusing, thinking that Monk Fengxi seemed a bit unusual today.

Ah, stubborn in a somewhat endearing way.

The disfavored pastries tasting bland, Emperor Longteng waved his hand, signaling for them to be taken away.

The two set up the chessboard, ready to start another game.

Just then, the Empress Dowager entered with her nanny. As she walked in, she happened to see several palace maids carrying away the pastries, and a smile spread across her kind face.

The Empress Dowager often consulted Monk Fengxi on Buddhist Scriptures in Purple Cloud City and they shared a friendship beyond ages.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Monk Fengxi is here, and I came to see him. I haven’t seen Monk Fengxi for a long time; I really must discuss some Buddhist doctrines with him. Neither of you have dined yet, right? I have brought some buns and soups."
