Pei Hui cursed the dishes for being poorly prepared, naturally blaming the chef.
However, the chef had worked in the mansion for many years, and Pei Hui was actually quite good to the people around him, adept at winning hearts, otherwise he wouldn't have become victorious in the succession struggle—not punishing someone over such a trivial matter.
The chef was summoned and, upon learning that the fish he prepared tasted off, hurriedly tasted it in front of Pei Hui, then appeared puzzled. The taste seemed as usual; it was correct, right?

"Your Highness, the taste I discern is the same as before, with no error," the chef quickly bowed, "perhaps my tongue isn't right today. Maybe you should have others taste it too."
