Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 670: The Courtiers Racked Their Brains

Court.

The court officials are now accustomed to the occasional heavy breathing when the emperor speaks.

Doesn’t their emperor just want to have some fun?

What else can they do to him?

"Your Majesty, you clearly promised us just now."

Marquis Zhongyong looked at the emperor seriously and said solemnly.

"When did I agree?"

The emperor felt a little confused.

Did he really agree? Why didn't he feel it?

"Your Majesty, you just said that you wanted to open a snack street near where we are, and you were also concerned about how we would solve the problem of lunch."

Marquis Zhongyong said this with certainty.

"I...I just...just asked. I didn't promise you anything."

The emperor didn't expect that he would be blamed by the old man just because he asked a casual question.

"Since the emperor asked, it means you agree. So many of us are watching you, and you should not joke..."

Marquis Zhongyong expressed his views passionately.

The emperor looked at his beloved ministers.

"Do you think the same as the Loyal and Brave Marquis?"

"Your Majesty, you did agree just now..."

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is right, your words are not to be trifled with..."

The people standing below all expressed their support for the old man in unison.

Just kidding, the old man has already given them a good start.

If they don't work together now, they will be able to help this old man.

What if the old man doesn’t take them out to play anymore?

The emperor was given a headache by the noise of his beloved ministers.

"Alright, alright. This is the court of the Great Xia Dynasty, where state affairs are handled. What's the point of you arguing here over a bite of food?"

If the emperor really lost face, these court officials would not dare to speak anymore.

"I will discuss this matter of the snack street with the Queen. She is still pregnant, so how can she worry so much?"

Father Huang loves to hear the emperor's words the most.

"Your Majesty, I think we should wait until the Empress gives birth. It won't be too late to bring up these matters later."

What Father Huang said made everyone present feel somewhat disappointed.

It turns out that they have wasted so much time and energy and fought for this for so long.

They still can’t eat those delicious foods this year.

"It all depends on the Queen's opinion. If she is willing to worry about it, it is not impossible to open a snack street near the court."

Seeing the disappointed looks in the eyes of these court officials, the emperor felt a little bit sorry for them.

"Then we, the humble officials, thank the emperor for his consideration."

After hearing what the emperor said, the court officials immediately regained their energy.

Led by Marquis Zhongyong, all the court officials saluted the emperor respectfully.

Ningyuxuan.

When the emperor returned to Ningyuxuan in the afternoon, he brought two foodies with him.

These two foodies are of course the young Prince Fu and the third prince.

Because Xiaoyinzi came and explained in advance.

So meals for the two of them were also prepared in Ning Yuxuan's small kitchen.

Of course, when the two of them came over, they also called the emperor over.

"Sister, what delicious food did you make for us tonight?"

Huang Ye heard the voice of Little Prince Fu while he was still in the small kitchen.

"From the sound of your voice, it seems like you're about to turn around and go back because there's nothing good to eat."

Huang Ye walked out from the small kitchen and said jokingly to the little Prince Fu.

"That must not happen..."

Little Prince Fu shouted exaggeratedly.

"Right now, in the entire capital, no, in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, the food anywhere is not as delicious as the food made by Ning Yuxuan."

"I can prove this. It is indeed the case."

The third prince quickly echoed what the young Prince Fu said.

"Can't you two just stop for a while."

The emperor couldn't bear to watch these two people showing off.

"You two are so old, yet you still talk about food every day. I really admire you."

"Food is the most important thing for the people. Your Majesty, you cannot look down on these matters concerning food."

As the little Prince Fu spoke, he sat down on a chair in the corridor.

"You saw it today. Aren't those court officials playing tricks on you just for a bite of food?"

The emperor also found it funny when he thought of those foodie courtiers.

"Your Majesty, what did the court officials say today?"

Huang Ye asked curiously.

"Needless to say, I will definitely ask you to open another snack street."

This emperor has experience.

Because he wanted to go to the snack street to eat again this morning.

As a result, he had to wait until almost noon before he could have breakfast.

Not to mention others, even he was thinking about this.

He had to give this girl from the Huang family a suggestion and ask her to open a few more snack streets.

Because look at the situation today.

It will be very difficult for him to have breakfast in the snack street in the future.

"This is a very troublesome matter."

Huang Ye sighed when he heard the emperor introduce the grand occasion of the snack street.

She didn't expect that the snack street would become so popular.

"Not to mention that I don't have the money to invest right now, just the manpower... where can I find so many suitable people?"

She hired more than a hundred people just for the manpower of this snack street.

Not to mention training these people, that's a huge project.

If you want to recruit some people to do the work.

She was also afraid that some of the people she recruited might have bad intentions.

Because they are in the food business.

If something goes wrong, it could be fatal.

Also, human hearts are the most difficult to control.

If those people have just learned a skill, they would think about going out on their own.

Then all her efforts would be wasted.

"Regarding this, we can write a contract to restrict them."

Little Prince Fu is quick-witted.

Huang Ye had thought about this suggestion before.

"Signing a deed is indeed a solution, but the specific number of years is also a question..."

"This must be signed for at least three years, right?"

The third prince asked uncertainly.

"Five years, at least five years. This will prevent some people with bad intentions from learning the skills and then thinking about going out and working on their own all day long."

The emperor said affirmatively.

"Have you ever thought that these people are from the capital, and they all have families. If they go home and teach their skills to their families..."

The emperor emeritus is worthy of being the emperor for decades.

What he thought was more thoughtful than that of Prince Fu and the others.

I'm not too worried about the yellow leaves.

"Each snack has its own unique recipe. Even if others can imitate its shape, they cannot imitate its taste."

Foodies are often very picky eaters.

If the taste is not right, they will not go there a second time after having tried it once.

"Then what are you worried about? Even if the contracts of those people expire, it will be useless for them to go out and work on their own."

Little Prince Fu simply felt it was a bit strange.

Isn't this a contradiction in her words?

She is such a smart person, it is impossible for her to fail to think of this problem.
