Chapter 399: Striving for Merit

Emperor Yan Wen didn't expect Gu Xi to make potatoes into a big meal.

It looks like it's all the right thing to look like.

He took the chopsticks, added a piece of braised potatoes at random, and put it in his mouth, the taste was not very good, but it was sweet and soft, and the taste was good.

"Sugar in there?"

"Nope."

Gu Xi shook his head and said, "Potatoes themselves have a sweet taste, but they are actually improved...... Sweet potatoes are sweeter and softer. ”

Emperor Yan Wendi was a little happy, he had always liked sweets, pointed to one of the plates and asked, "What is this dish?" ”

"Fries."

Gu Xi said softly: "The little girl loves to eat very much, and she needs to dip it in tomato sauce." ”

He stepped forward to open the box of tomato sauce, Emperor Yan Wen glanced at Gu Jiayao, picked up the fries and dipped in the sauce and ate it.

As a Northlander, dipping sauce is extremely common, but tomato ...... "tastes good." ”

It's nice and sweet again.

Emperor Yan Wen likes it.

Dayan has tomatoes, but no one makes the sauce.

"Generally, little girls love to eat French fries, and when they are idle, they eat while reading a book."

Gu Xi's eyes flashed with pampering, "When the minister is at home, he will always get chips for Yaoyao to eat." ”

"You love your daughter, but you'd better have a son as soon as possible."

Emperor Yan Wen still has two sons, Gu Xi is not a few years younger than him, but he only has one daughter.

"The concubine and the British princess are anxious about the continuation of your heir, so don't take it seriously."

“…… It's useless to be in a hurry about this matter, it's enough to have Yaoyao. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine is not in a hurry."

Gu Guifei was disgusted: "If the concubine has a daughter like Yaoyao, the concubine will be content, not to mention that the concubine herself is a woman, how can she look down on a woman?" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are not in a hurry, Xi'er is happy."

The British duke made up for it again, although he and his wife hinted to Xi'er's daughter-in-law that they should give birth to a son, but in front of the emperor, they must stand on Xi'er's position and support Xi'er's decision.

Emperor Yan Wen's appetite has dropped a lot, otherwise how to say that the British public Gu family will not make him happy.

The straightforwardness of always telling the truth makes the superior not feel pleasure.

"Your Majesty, can you give the mourning family a taste?"

"Queen Mother, please use it."

Emperor Yan Wen motioned to the eunuch to put several of the plates in front of the Queen Mother, "It tastes good, and I feel full after eating it, even if it is not as hungry as corn, but it is more satiety than wild vegetables and so on, and the taste is also better." ”

After the Queen Mother and Queen Mother ate it, she nodded with satisfaction: "Gu Xi is talented!" Your Majesty is blessed with such a great talent, why worry that Dayan is not prosperous? ”

Emperor Yan Wen said with a smile: "The queen mother is right, Dayan will surely prosper in order to live up to the entrustment of the Taizu." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes darkened slightly, Emperor Yan Wendi's luck has always been very good, the more critical it is, the better his luck is.

And the people he values can help him, repay his trust and promotion.

On the contrary, Prince Rong was extremely unlucky.

A little typhoid fever actually killed him!

"Emperor, the mourning family looks at these dishes as ordinary, and they can't be put on the table."

The Queen Mother swept the so-called potato feast with disdain.

After all, potatoes are home-cooked dishes, and they are far inferior to delicate dishes, and they are very different from those made with all kinds of rare poultry ingredients.

"Don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of being fine, this is what people should follow."

The Queen Mother was very unimpressed by Emperor Yan Wen's words:

"There are no potatoes, and the people can't starve to death, the emperor admires Gu Xi too much, and carefully makes the courtiers who have assisted the emperor for many years feel cold, not to mention that the north has always been looked down upon by the south, and the mourning family thinks that they should learn the manners of the Southern Dynasty, and now the emperor has won the world, and he has changed the vulgarity of the past."

"Zhenmeiren, have you ever eaten dishes that are not on the table in the harem of the Southern Dynasty back then?"

"The Queen Mother."

The beauty stood up, and the dress as thin as a cicada's wings made her look charming and vulgar.

Her kneeling posture is unusually graceful, and her swan-like neck is slightly curled, which highlights the perfection of her figure.

"The concubine has never used potatoes, but the concubine thinks that potatoes are valuable."

Zhenmeiren said softly: "For ordinary people, the value of potatoes is far from getting tired of eating, and they will not get tired of fine words, of course, noble courtiers don't need to eat potatoes. ”

The Queen Mother's eyes gradually turned cold, "The beauty of the country is worried about the country and the people, and it is worthy of His Majesty's attention, why didn't the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty listen to your advice at the beginning?" ”

The delicate body of the beautiful person trembled, and the watery eyes looked at Emperor Yan Wen, wanting to speak, with a trace of relief in sadness.

Gu Jiayao said in her heart that this performance is definitely at the level of a movie queen.

Saddened by the demise of the Southern Dynasty due to food shortages.

When the Northern Yan went south, the Southern Dynasty had just experienced a major drought, the grain harvest was poor, and the contradictions were acute.

There were many reasons for the demise of the Southern Dynasties, and food shortages were also one of the main reasons.

But the beauty was able to support Emperor Yan Wen under the expectations of the Queen Mother, and was glad that Emperor Yan Wen got the artifact.

If this is not love, then what is love?

Emperor Yan Wen said: "She is already my woman, you don't mention the things of the past." ”

The Queen Mother breathed a little heavier, "That's it, the mourning family originally wanted the emperor to be more of the emperor's style, since you don't like it, the mourning family is too lazy to tell you." ”

The Queen Mother and Empress Dowager tasted every dish unhurriedly, "Your Majesty, it is better to let the remaining dishes be tasted by the courtiers, and there are a few of them, which will definitely suit the taste of King Zhao, after all, the eating habits of many years will not change with the wealth of the king." ”

"The mourning family has always thought that eating that suits them is the best, Emperor Taizu likes to grasp pig's trotters and gnaw on them, who in the world dares to say that Emperor Taizu is vulgar?"

The courtiers shook their heads, and the princes smiled knowingly.

The British public muttered, "Taizu doesn't like to wash his feet, isn't it the same that there are many beauties who like it?" Don't dislike Taizu's foot smell. ”

Gu Jiayao: "......"

She didn't dare to look at the face of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother nodded her index finger at the British duke, "If you don't say a word, you know that you are Taizu's important minister, and Taizu's reputation has been ruined by you." ”

"If you don't say it, it's just."

The British public arched his hand, "In the future, I will only talk about the glorious deeds of Taizu." ”

"Da Yan has not been in the world for a long time, and there are still strong external enemies, Your Majesty can stay calm and not be disturbed by wealth and wealth, which proves that Emperor Taizu did not look at the wrong person, and the mourning family did not live up to Emperor Taizu's trust."

The Queen Mother took the initiative to pat Emperor Yanwen's arm and expressed her satisfaction.

A smile appeared on the corner of Emperor Yanwen's mouth, and he became a little closer to her, no wonder his father obviously loved Concubine Yuan but always respected her, after losing Prince Rong in his later years, Taizu had been resting by her side in his last years, giving her full trust and the right to establish the emperor.

After the potato feast was distributed to the courtiers, each person could only get a few bites.

The ministers wept while eating.

That's moving.

After all, potatoes are as Gu Xi said, and it makes too much sense to solve too big problems.

Ning Yuanhou said: "The son of the British prince has merit, but the courtier's father also has merit, and the potatoes are planted by the minister's father. ”

"Brother Gu Shi, what do you say?"
