REINCARNATION: TRAPPED IN THE WRONG BODY

CHAPTERS 20. Invitation to dinner from the palace

***xhong Li's bedroom***

Moments later King's keen sense of smell had already smelled the very fragrant aroma of Hercules cooking.

Hercules walked into the bedroom and nimbly placed the dishes containing his cooking in his hands on the table.

The king who glanced at Hercules was reminded of the servant in his favorite pasture restaurant in the previous world.

The shadow of his favorite cow rendang and pop chicken in the meadow restaurant appeared before the sight of his empty eyes and danced around him.

Unknowingly King gulped down his saliva loudly.

"Young master Zhong Li can eat now" Hercules said as he pulled King off the bed and walked towards the dining table.

After obtaining permission from King, Hercules and Xena sat down to eat together with King. Hercules swiftly prepared the meat and vegetables into King's bowl and gave the spoon in King's hand.

"Hercules is innocent, but he's very clever" King said.

King only once refused to wear chopsticks and for the next Hercules never gave chopsticks to King.

King enjoys Hercules cuisine that is on par with Michelin Star chefs.

"Young master Zhong Li. Hercules knew what the invitation from the palace was this morning" said Hercules as he chewed his food.

"Know from whom?" ask King.

"From A Tu's. In the kitchen," answered Hercules.

King was sure that Hercules must have interrogated A Tu at length about the invitation letter from the palace.

"Emperor Wang holds a dinner at the palace the day after tomorrow. Many sons of officials and generals were also invited there. Madame Ming Lan and young master Zhong Min bought new clothes for the day after tomorrow's banquet" Hercules said.

"Oh that!" answer King briefly.

Every year Emperor Wang would hold a dinner in the palace and Zhong Li just sat down speechless and felt inferior for being blind until the banquet was over. So King was not enthusiastic about attending a dinner at the palace.

"Said A Tu, young master Zhong Min will perform a butterfly dance at the palace banquet later. Master Zhong Li is going to show you what?" asked Hercules curiously.

"I thought first," replied King briefly.

King tried to find pieces of memory of what Zhong Li was good at while he was alive.

As King fell silent while thinking, the pockmarked Hercules stood up from his seat and walked towards Zhong Li's wardrobe.

Hercules took something from there and walked back towards the dining table.

Hercules sat quietly in his seat while looking at Zhong Li aka King who was still speechless with a characteristic blank eye view.

"Zhong Li can play 'in zi'. What's that 'in zi'?" king's heart after successfully remembering Zhong Li's skills while still alive.

"Young master Zhong Li," call Hercules.

"What's wrong?" ask King.

"This is "in zi' belonging to young master Zhong Li," Hercules said as he placed 'in zi' in King's hand.

King groped the musical instrument 'in zi' which was in his hand.

"Such a stick and made of bamboo. There were small holes in his wand. It turned out that in zi it was a flute," King's heart said.

King breathed a sigh of relief because the musical instrument he had to play was almost the same as a flute, that is, in an inflatable way.

Originally King thought 'in zi' was a traditional musical instrument that used many strings like a harp and must have been very complicated how to play it.

"Hercules. Keep it well in this zi. The day after tomorrow take it to Emperor Wang's palace!" King's Order.

"Both young master Zhong Li," Hercules replied.

King was confident he could play in the zi because this body belonged to Zhong Li.

All of Zhong Li's skills would definitely be able to be mastered by the King, as would Zhong Li's keen sense of smell.

"Hercules. You said Zhong Min bought new clothes for a butterfly dance performance at dinner the day after tomorrow?" ask King.

"Ooh...! Da...I knew! I know!" hercules said as he stroked his aching head.

While King does not care about Hercules and Xena who are like cats and rats today. Suddenly an idea came to King's mind to humiliate Zhong Min at the palace banquet.

King knew Zhong Min wanted Emperor Wang to praise the perfect butterfly dance and also make Emperor Wang like him as the right son-in-law candidate for Princess Xing Xing.

King won't let that happen. Zhong Min would be humiliated and Princess Xing Xing would be entangled.

This was a small form of revenge for the dead Zhong Li drowning in the river because of the actions of Zhong Min and Princess Xing Xing.

"Xena. One of your skills is a poison master, right?" ask Zhong Li .

"That's so late young master Zhong Li," Xena replied honestly.

"I'll give you one important task!" zhong Li's orders.

"Xena is ready to carry out all the orders of young Master Zhong Li," Xena replied.

King explained his plan to Xena. Hercules, who had heard King's plan, unconsciously bit his fingernails.

"Young master Zhong Li is very special. The plan was amazing" said Hercules.

***xhong Min Bedroom***

Bending his day after lunch, Zhong Min tried on the clothes he bought yesterday with Ming Lan. The new clothes he will wear at the palace dinner tomorrow.

Clothing with colorful butterfly embroidery, zhong Min deliberately chose to adjust to his butterfly dance so that it looks as if thousands of butterflies fly as he danced butterfly dance with his new clothes.

Zhong Min was already impatient to see the gazes of everyone who was amazed at him tomorrow night.

Emperor Wang would definitely like her as Princess Xing Xing's future husband.

Several servants of General Zhong Guo's residence were inside Zhong Min's bedroom to help him put on the new clothes.

Zhong Min stood in front of the mirror while looking at the reflection of his face and clothes there. Zhong Min was very satisfied with his current appearance.

"It's a pity that Zhong Li is blind. Otherwise, Zhong Li would definitely envy me," Zhong Min said.

"What do you think? Nice right?" zhong asked the servants who were inside his room. However, the servants did not answer Zhong Min's question but instead used their sleeves to cover each other's noses.

"What's wrong?" ask Zhong Min.

In an instant Zhong Min smelled a foul smell around him.

"Why does it smell so bad?" ask Zhong Min .

The servants looked into each other's eyes. Then bow their heads. They did not dare to say a word at all.

Zhong Min was irritated to face his servants who had suddenly become mute.

Zhong Min walked towards the room window and inhaled air from outside. The stench did not come from outside his bedroom. Over time the stench became more and more stinging.

"Where does the smell come from?" zhong Min shouted as he raised his hand upwards.

The servants who were looking down, using their fingers pointed towards Zhong Min.

"Me?" zhong Min asked in a tone of disbelief.

Zhong Min was convinced the servants were lying so tried to smell his own body.

Zhong Min smelled his sleeves and almost vomited as he could not bear the foul smell that stung his nose so much.

Ha Ha Ha! What poison did Zhong Min get?
