Zi Ruoyan happily agreed to Zhong Lishuang's invitation.
She has experienced the cooking skills of Shangshu Zhong and is very much looking forward to it.
In addition, she also wants to know what happened after leaving Gongzhong recently.
Because of Zhong Lishuang, Zhong Yangming is considered his confidant minister.
If you don’t reveal the message of your return, you might be able to see some interesting things.
The group entered the imperial city and went straight toward the Zhong Mansion.
No one looked at him on the way.
The people in the imperial city should know Zhong Lishuang, but the general was walking on the road without attracting the attention of others, which was very strange.
But Xiao Tian knew the reason.
"The spiritual energy in this world is really interesting." Xiao Tian could see that the spiritual energy from Zi Ruoyan's body left the body and affected the surroundings.
This influence makes others unable to "perceive" their existence.
It is equivalent to forcibly reducing one's own sense of existence.
"I feel that my strength seems to have improved?" Xiao Tian looked at Zi Ruoyan's back, thinking in his heart, "Wangcai, how is the realm of the Empress Zi Ruoyan now?"
[Dear Master, Empress Zi Ruoyan is now at the first level of the ninth level of the holy realm.]
"After going out, the realm has improved. Now that I come back, it means that the war in northern Xinjiang has been resolved." Xiao Tian praised in his heart.
My wife is awesome!
Before they knew it, the group had already arrived at the gate of Zhong Mansion and stepped into it.
After passing the front yard, I arrived at the back hall not long after.
"Hmm?" Zhong Lishuang arrived in the back hall and immediately smelled the fragrance of vegetables in the air.
She smiled and smiled at her daughter: "Isn't this a coincidence? Your father actually cooked himself."
"This is called a heart-to-heart relationship."
"..." Zhong Ling didn't say anything, she was embarrassed to tell the truth.
After walking a little further inside, I arrived at the entrance of the backyard lobby.
You can see the back busy in front of the table at a glance through the door.
It seemed that he heard the movement behind him. Zhong Yangming, who was still setting the table, spoke directly without looking back.
"Brother Xiao, you have a good time today. I got a golden-tailed white jade fish."
"And some of your favorite side dishes are all alive."
"With your improved Qingyan Empress Wine, it's guaranteed to be unique."
"It just so happens that tomorrow will be in the air. Let's go back without getting drunk, hahaha..."
Zhong Yangming smiled and spoke, turning around and saw two familiar figures appearing in front of him.
The smile immediately stiffened on his face.
Zi Ruoyan also looked at Zhong Yangming unexpectedly, as if it was the first time she met him.
Zhong Lishuang looked at her husband, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, especially when she saw her husband wearing the chef's robe.
Outrageous!
"Cough..." Zhong Yangming came to his senses first and quickly bowed his respects, "My minister Zhong Yangming, I have seen Your Majesty."
"This time, it's no different from the past." Zi Ruoyan shook her head slightly, and a smile appeared on her face. "Uncle Zhong just pretended that I was still here, the little girl who came to Zhong's house for free."
"This...this is really..." Zhong Yangming showed an embarrassing expression on his face. He looked at his wife staring at him and said quickly, "I'll go and add dishes, Your Majesty may as well sit down first."
After saying that, Zhong Yangming quickly turned around and left.
Looking at the departure of Zhong Yangming, Zi Ruoyan was silent for a while and slowly turned to look at Xiao Tian.
Not to mention her, Zhong Lishuang also stared at Xiao Tian, her eyes full of surprise.
She knows her husband very well. Since she became the Minister of Revenue, she has been busy and has rarely taken charge of the chef himself.
Unless he requests himself, or if His Majesty occasionally comes to the mansion, he will let him take charge of it himself.
But now, judging from the words of my husband just now.
I'm afraid that these days, I've cooked for Xiao Tian many times.
Even, I changed into such clothes.
Zhong Lishuang stared at Xiao Tian with a strange expression. What kind of magic does the other party have in her body, so that her husband can also...
As for Zi Ruoyan?
She was curious about Xiao Tian again.
Xiao Tian rubbed his forehead. He always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something.
Only then did he remember, Zhong Yangming!
Greedy and verbal disaster.
If Zi Ruoyan knew, she would give Zhong Yangming advice and solve the big trouble for him.
Then I feel that I have talent, what should I do if I ask him to help with government affairs?
Damn it!
Miscalculated.
The emperor is very tired when he is serious about his work. Then how can he be idle and leisurely when he works with Zi Ruoyan?
Not long after, Zhong Yangming had already brought back the new bowls and chopsticks.
Zi Ruoyan sat first, sat in the main seat, and the others sat down one by one.
"Zhong Yangming, your dish is very attentive and unique." Zhong Lishuang looked at the dishes on the table, tsk and looked at her husband.
These dishes are obviously carefully cooked, and there are even new dishes.
My husband actually studied new dishes for Xiao Tian?
Surprisingly!
"..." Zhong Yangming could only smile awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Zi Ruoyan didn't say anything, savored silently, enjoyed carefully, and then savored a sip of wine.
Her eyes lit up: "Is this Qingyan wine?"
"Your Majesty, it's indeed Qingyan wine." Zhong Yangming nodded beside him and responded.
"I have also drunk it before, but this... is very delicious!" Zi Ruoyan nodded seriously, a little clear, "It's hard to find a thousand gold coins. So that's not only a name, but also because of its own quality."
Zhong Yangming bowed: "Your Majesty is right. The prince invested in Qingyan Town to build a winery and helped improve the brewing skills of Qingyan Town, which made the wine a step further."
"And, the winery built by the prince not only hires the people of the town, but also distributes the profits to them."
"In addition, the prince also set rules and took the initiative to pay taxes regularly and set an example for the merchants in the imperial city."
"In just a few days, the prince made Qingyan Town look brand new!"
When Zhong Yangming spoke this, he praised Xiao Tian endlessly, and then raised his glass to drink the wine of the Qingyan Empress in front of him.
Xiao Tian next to him was dumbfounded, winked at Zhong Yangming, and signaled him not to say anything.
He doesn't want to be too outstanding, nor does he want to become too outstanding and capable in Zi Ruoyan's eyes.
Xiao Tian’s wish is very simple, just eat a soft meal and live a happy life.
He looked solemn and spoke again: "If this is the case, it is not enough to show the excellence of the Prince."
Xiao Tian's breathing was almost stagnant: "???"
"Not only that, the prince gave advice on the refugees in southern Xinjiang and decided on a series of specifications and regulations."
"As long as you do what the prince said, things in southern Xinjiang can be solved the most perfectly."
"Not to mention, the Prince also personally contributed funds to the Ministry of Revenue to assist in handling matters in southern Xinjiang."
"The price is nothing more than to satisfy the prince's desire, and it is not worth mentioning."
Afterwards, Zhong Yangming was eloquent and explained Xiao Tian a series of suggested measures one by one.
Zi Ruoyan listened carefully to Zhong Yangming's words, and looked at Xiao Tian from time to time, and bright colors frequently appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Even Zhong Lishuang looked at Xiao Tian in surprise.
After saying this in one breath, Zhong Yangming was satisfied and quietly gave Xiao Tian a thumbs up and secretly signaled.
"Prince, I can only help you here." Zhong Yangming cheered Xiao Tian in his heart.
Xiao Tian, who was sitting in the same place, had turned pale.
Then he covered his face and lowered his head, with only one thought in his mind.
