Chapter 334: Fat
The first one to clean up was of course Ningzhou, which he was most familiar with.
Ningzhou was originally occupied by the people of the Spirit Kingdom, but not long ago, it was snatched back by the troops sent by Beye.
Thankfully, Lingguo didn't seem to expect that Besano would use thunder to regain the lost territory just after he ascended the throne, so he was defenseless.
The process of Ningzhou being recaptured was smooth.
Yu is a vast country, a total of fifty-six states, seven were taken away by the Spirit Kingdom before, and now one has been recaptured, and there should be six states under the control of the Spirit Kingdom.
Beye's feelings for the people of the Spirit Kingdom are a little complicated, and he is not eager to regain the other lost territories.
In fact, now the treasury is empty, military supplies are insufficient, and it is not a time for frequent wars.
Gu Rao also wanted to do something for the people of Yu State, so she stayed in Dasi Nong every day and studied the problem of increasing grain production with other officials engaged in agriculture.
Because of this, Beiye also made her an official of Si Nong.
This is a completely new profession for her, she almost doesn't know anything, but she has the space to cheat, and the seeds she cultivates can indeed increase her yield a lot.
Beno trusted her 100 percent, and the seeds she cultivated were distributed by him to the local area, so that local farmers could plant new seeds.
In addition to cultivating seeds to increase yield, Gu Rao also drew a lot of sketches based on her memory and the relevant books in the space, so that the people of the Workers and Farmers Division could make these farm tools.
Waterwheels, zigzag ploughs, sickles...... Came out one after another.
In three years, the people of Yu have enough food and clothing, and the treasury of Yu has also been enriched.
The soldiers in the frontier have sufficient food, their combat effectiveness has increased in a straight line, foreign enemies dare not attack, and some small neighboring countries have come to sue for peace one after another.
The most common way to make peace is to send the princess to Yu and Qin.
After Gu Rao learned the purpose of these envoys' visit this time, she couldn't eat any angry food.
As early as three years ago, in the third month of Besino's ascension to the throne as emperor, she was canonized as empress.
However, she prefers to be her own agricultural officer than the queen.
In the past three years, not only the officials of the imperial court, but even the people who served around her wanted to persuade her to be generous, because to be a queen is to be generous.
All persuaded her to choose a concubine for Beye.
There are also people who think that she became a queen, but she has not done anything for three years, which is immoral, if it weren't for Beye to protect her, she would have been removed from the position of queen by that group of people.
But even if Beiye is protected, she also knows that Beiye has always been assertive, will not be soft-eared, follow the advice of others, take concubines seriously, and will not marry those princesses sent by Linguo, but the fact that so many people want to stuff people around him still makes her very angry.
She's been getting more and more grumpy lately.
Maybe it's because it's too hot.
The envoy came to sue for peace, Bei Ye, as the emperor, had a lot of things to deal with, and sometimes he couldn't even take care of eating, in order not to worry Gu Rao, he ate separately from her during this time.
Knowing that Gu Rao hadn't eaten at noon, he put aside the matter at hand for the time being.
Come to the Queen's bedchamber.
After Gu Rao saw the visitor, she was not surprised at all, as if she had expected his arrival.
Beno asked, "Why don't you eat?" ”
Gu Rao said, "I don't have an appetite." ”
Beno instructed the palace people to set the meal.
"If you don't have an appetite, you have to eat a little, otherwise your stomach can't stand it."
Gu Rao glared at him.
"You can skip meals, but I can't?"
"You can't be so double-standard."
Beno laughed, "Didn't I come to eat with you?" ”
Recently, the weather has been hot, and Beye specially ordered the imperial dining room to make a raw pickled seafood feast.
He peeled a raw pickled shrimp for Gu Rao.
"Raw pickled shrimp is greasy, taste how it tastes."
Gu Rao frowned when she saw the peeled shrimp meat.
Recently, the weather has been hot, and the imperial dining room always makes some seafood.
But it was all cooked before, how can it be made raw pickled today?
Besino's explanation, "Didn't you love to eat raw pickles before? This is what I specially taught the Imperial Dining Room to make, you can taste the taste, if it is delicious, eat a little more in the next few days. ”
Gu Rao actually still didn't have much appetite, but when she heard that Beiye personally taught the imperial dining room to make it, she was moved to take time out of her busy schedule to give herself, not wanting to brush off his kindness, so she picked up the shrimp meat and prepared to taste it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as it was delivered to his mouth, he almost vomited.
Beno was taken aback by her reaction, and reached out to pat her on the back.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Rao retched for a while, looking at the shrimp meat in the bowl with disgust.
"Aren't these shrimp fresh? Why does it smell fishy? ”
Don't be wild, "......"
"The things that are sent to the palace, especially those that are sent to the emperor's table, are all the freshest, how can they not be fresh?"
"Did you smell it wrong?"
He picked up the shrimp from his wife's bowl and put it in his mouth and tasted it.
Gu Rao asked, "Is it fishy?" ”
Beno shook his head.
"It's fresh and it tastes good."
Without waiting for Gu Rao to speak, he had already asked the palace people to remove the seafood banquet.
"Since you don't want to eat seafood, let's eat something else."
He immediately instructed the imperial dining room to make a new table of dishes.
Gu Rao said, "You can eat it if I don't eat it, it's too wasteful to withdraw it before you touch it." ”
Beno said, "You vomit when you smell it, and I won't eat it." ”
Gu Rao's mood was much better.
Maybe it was Bei Ye by his side, watching him have a great appetite, she also had an appetite, and she ate a lot of this meal.
My stomach is a little stretched.
Beiye rubbed her belly and teased, "You have a bad appetite recently, but the meat on your stomach has not increased less, and you are fatter than before." ”
Gu Rao's face froze.
"I just ate for a while, so I didn't gain weight, and after digestion, my little belly will disappear!"
Beye smiled and said, "It's good to be fatter, it's very comfortable to hold." ”
Gu Rao, "......"
"I'm not fat!"
Besano coughed lightly.
"Okay, not fat."
Gu Rao, "......"
Why does it always feel like he's perfunctory?
Could it be that you are really fat?
But she hasn't eaten much at every meal lately!
But......
I thought that I ate less at the main meal, but I ate a lot of pastries and had no appetite, but I was always hungry quickly, so although I ate less at each meal, I ate a lot more often.
Sometimes I even have to get up in the middle of the night to eat.
Luckily, she has a kitchenette, and after knowing that she is hungry at night, there is always some delicious food in the kitchenette for her to get up at night and eat a few bites.
-
At night, Gu Rao was woken up hungry again in the middle of the night.
However, this time she remembered that Beno made fun of herself for being fat during the day, and she didn't get up to eat.
She was so hungry that she couldn't sleep.
Beno was woken up by her, and one hand subconsciously pinched the soft flesh on her waist.
"Are you hungry?"
He knew that she had a habit of getting up in the middle of the night to eat.
Gu Rao shook her head stubbornly.
"Nope."
Don't doubt it.
"Then go to bed early, tomorrow the envoy should come."
Gu Rao closed her eyes and tried to force herself to sleep.
He was right, tomorrow the envoy will come, and she, as the queen, will definitely come forward to preside over the banquet.
If you don't sleep well now, you won't have the energy to deal with so many people tomorrow.
However, after closing my eyes for a while, I still couldn't sleep.
I'm so hungry......
Listening to the steady breathing in his ears, a sense of grievance suddenly arose in his heart.
