After marrying the vegetative prince, the doctor concubine killed people randomly

The Queen wholeheartedly agreed with Emperor Jingyang's proposal.

"I think the emperor's suggestion is very good. The daily purchase of food for the palace costs a lot of money. Starting with the three meals a day can not only reduce the palace's expenses, but also set a good example for the people outside. In this way, everyone can cherish food in the future."

"If we use the saved food and silver to help the people in remote areas, there will be fewer people starving to death, and more people and soldiers in the army will be able to have enough food. In the long run, this is indeed a good thing."

The Queen thought back to when she had mentioned to Emperor Jingyang two years ago about reducing the allowances in the palace, but Emperor Jingyang simply didn't listen to her.

He just said coldly, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs."

In short, it means that she should not interfere in the affairs of the court.

The Queen felt helpless for a long time. She didn't expect that Ji Yuntang's words today would directly make Emperor Jingyang change his mind.

The more the queen looked at Ji Yuntang, the more satisfied she felt, and she also began to like Ji Qingqing more.

If she had not stood up to provoke Ji Yuntang just now, Ji Yuntang would not have said that food is the most important thing for the people, and Emperor Jingyang would not have issued this decree.

After all, Ji Qingqing did a good thing.

Ji Yuntang is truly the lucky star of their Dongchen country.

The Queen was in a better mood, and she looked at Ji Yuntang with more loving eyes. She had already started thinking about what reward she would give to Ji Yuntang after the palace banquet was over.

"What dish does Princess Ye plan to make? Do you want me to have the pot from the imperial kitchen brought over to you?"

Ji Yuntang: "..."

She said quickly: "No, no, I will go to the imperial kitchen to cook. Please, His Majesty, the Empress, and everyone else, please sit here for a while."

"Okay, the emperor and I are not in a hurry, Princess Ye, just take your time."

The queen finished speaking with a smile, and Luo Qingge immediately came up to her, grabbed Ji Yuntang's sleeve, and looked at her with pitiful eyes.

"Third sister-in-law, please take me with you. I can help you."

Luo Qingge's personal maid Linglan twitched her lips. The Ninth Princess would help?

She can eat pretty well.

Xie Liuzheng also stood up and volunteered: "Princess Ye, I will also help you."

He was really curious about what dish Ji Yuntang wanted to cook.

As soon as Xie Liuzheng finished speaking, Luo Qianxue immediately stood up like a firecracker.

"If Brother Zheng goes, then this princess will go too!"

She was really worried about Luo Qingge and Xie Liuzheng interacting with each other, so she planned to go over and keep an eye on them.

Ji Yuntang's head was buzzing. She was just cooking a few dishes, why were they so excited?

She could bring Luo Qingge with her, but she would never allow Luo Qianxue to go with them. Ji Yuntang really didn't trust Luo Qianxue, and she was afraid that she would poison the food.

In this case, Xie Liuzheng will have to bear the brunt of the situation.

"Thank you, my lord. I appreciate your kindness. I am just cooking two dishes. I don't need so many people to help me. Qingge alone is enough to help me."

Xie Liuzheng felt a little disappointed, but still had a carefree and harmless smile on his face.

"Well then, I will wait to taste the delicious food made by Princess Ye."

Having said that, Xie Liuzheng's disgust towards Luo Qianxue deepened.

Since Xie Liuzheng was not going, Luo Qianxue naturally wasn't going either, as she had never intended to help Ji Yuntang in the first place.

Because in her opinion, Ji Yuntang is not worthy at all!

Luo Qingge, Ji Yuntang and one of their respective maids followed.

It was Ji Yuntang’s first time to visit the imperial kitchen in the palace. It must be said that this place was even bigger than a basketball court.

There are basically all kinds of unfinished dishes on the table, in the steamer, and in the casserole.

Servants and palace maids were collecting the waste and preparing to pour it into the bucket.

Luo Qingge stopped them in time, "All of you stop, who told you to waste food?"

When the maid saw that it was Luo Qingge, she immediately trembled with fear and knelt on the ground and said, "To answer the Ninth Princess, this was what Manager Liu ordered us to do."

Luo Qingge frowned, "Go and call Manager Liu to come to me. I have something to ask him."

Soon, a plump middle-aged man in steward's uniform came over and knelt on the ground to salute.

"I am Liu Yong, the steward of the imperial kitchen. I didn't know that the Ninth Princess and Princess Ye were here. I beg the Ninth Princess and Princess Ye to forgive me."

Luo Qingge was too lazy to waste time and asked directly: "Manager Liu, isn't the palace's lunch time over? Why are there still so many dishes?"

"I noticed that the vegetables were very clean, and some were not even touched. Why did you ask them to throw them away?"

Manager Liu heaved a sigh of relief and answered truthfully: "In response to Princess Nine, the imperial kitchen prepares extra food for every meal. These are the leftovers from the masters' lunch."

"It is impossible to heat up the leftovers for the masters to eat the second time. Not only will the food be stale, but the taste will have changed. We can only throw it all away."

Ji Yuntang wondered: "Why not give it to the servants?"

Steward Liu was in great pain. “Princess Ye, you don’t know that the food that the masters in the palace eat has standards for every meal. Even if they can’t finish the leftovers, the servants dare not eat them, so they can only watch as they throw everything away.”

It is against the rules for servants to eat their master's food. If this gets out, won't it cause chaos?

Not to mention, the masters have limited food left over, and not every meal will have as much left over as today.

How should the servants in various departments of the palace be allocated?

Those who get to eat will be happy, and those who don’t will complain, and thus become lazy in their work.

Over time, people will become lazy.

"Then why don't you make a recipe, write down the names of the dishes that each master likes, and cook according to that recipe every day. This will not only avoid wasting food, but also ensure that the masters can eat meals that they like, and greatly reduce labor and expenses, right?"

Ji Yuntang discovered that except for the emperor, empress and several queens, the meals for other princesses and princes were basically prepared in the same way, with many portions made at a time and then distributed to the corresponding palaces by servants.

But everyone has different tastes, so some people may like some foods while others may not.

If you don’t like it, the prepared food will be wasted.

Luo Qingge's eyes lit up, "Third sister-in-law, your suggestion is good. I have a strong taste and like spicy food, but there are people in the palace who don't like spicy food."

"In my Feiyue Palace, the food that the palace maids brought to me was sometimes light in taste, and I really didn't like it. But even if I didn't like it, I couldn't throw it away. Sometimes I would just symbolically take a few bites with my chopsticks, but it tasted very bland."
