Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you

Xu Zhen took out some digestive tablets and distributed them to everyone. An Chen arranged for the emperor and the queen to go to the guest room to rest. The emperor also wanted to stay in Chen Wang Mansion for a while. There were no memorials to review and nothing to think about. He felt relaxed and comfortable here, and was reluctant to give up the delicious food. Thinking of the palace banquet in the evening, he asked An Shuo: "Can Shuo'er's chef be borrowed by father?"

"Father, are you the same as me? After eating a meal, you can no longer remember what the original meal tasted like?"

"Hahahaha, that's true. There's a palace banquet tonight, so it's a good opportunity for the imperial chef to learn. I'll be able to eat it every day in the future."

"Father, of course I am willing to honor you and mother, but I also want to make money with these recipes, so you must ask the imperial kitchen to keep it secret."

"Don't worry, kid. How could I destroy my son's background?"

"Your Majesty is right. Please tell the ministers that these dishes are provided by our Yipinlou."

"it is good."

"It is not appropriate for me and Chen Xu to show up yet. Please forgive me, Father and Mother."

"Well, you guys stay in Prince Chen's Mansion first and listen to your eldest brother's arrangements. If your eldest brother is not here, please send someone to the palace to send a message to Father and Mother if there is anything."

"Your Majesty, I thank you."

"I came out quietly. Defu is still in the palace. It's getting late. I have to go back to the palace. Queen, please come back with me. I'll come back another day.

The Queen nodded, holding An Shuo's hand and not wanting to let go. She gently touched An Shuo's head and told him to have a good rest for a few days. The Queen walked to Xu Zhen, took off her favorite blood-red jade bracelet from her wrist, and took Xu Zhen's hand to put it on her. Xu Zhen didn't dare to accept such a valuable bracelet. An Chen took it from the Queen and put it on Xu Zhen. "You can't refuse a gift from an elder. Just accept what your mother gives you."

"This is too expensive."

The queen smiled gently and said, "You came here alone. From now on, you are the child of the emperor and me. You don't need to be polite to your own parents."

Xu Zhen was very moved. It was the first time she heard such heartwarming words after being here for more than a month. She asked the emperor and the queen to sit down and drink some tea. After a while, she consciously entered the space to retrieve the gifts. Soon, a set of electronic monitoring equipment, a set of cleaning products and a high-end brand of perfumes of various flavors appeared on the table. The emperor and the queen were shocked to see something appear out of thin air for the first time. After Xu Zhen introduced the purpose of the things, they were even more shocked and speechless.

After everything was packed, Xu Zhen flew the emperor and empress back to the palace in a helicopter. The emperor called out several secret guards, and Xu Zhen instructed them to install the surveillance. The solar panels used were bio-simulation, and could change their appearance and color randomly according to the environment. They were installed on the roof without any abruptness, and it was impossible to find them without careful observation. The probes were placed in the hidden places of the imperial study, the main hall, and important places. The monitors were placed in a dark room, and the emperor arranged for someone to monitor them. He also left a few solar charging lamps for the emperor, which made it much more convenient for him to review memorials and read books at night.

In addition to toiletries and perfume, the queen was given an oversized glass mirror, several solar-powered lights, and several handbags.

After sending the people and things off, An Chen and Xu Zhen headed back home. The second prince had arranged for a carriage to send five cooks into the palace. The ingredients were all in the imperial kitchen, and the cooks brought all kinds of seasonings given by Xu Zhen.

The dinner time was approaching, and the ministers entered the hall which was as bright as day, all of them attracted by the glowing sphere above.

"What treasure is so bright?"

"Yeah, it's as good as the sunshine in the daytime."

"Could it be the little sun transformed by the goddess?"

"It is possible."

Everyone was talking about it, and Defu walked out and sang: "The emperor has arrived!"

Everyone knelt down and bowed to the emperor: "Long live the emperor!"

"My dear ministers, please stand up and take a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor looked around and didn't see An Chen and Xu Zhen, so he asked De Fu to ask about the situation.

De Fu: "Your Majesty, Prince Chen and Miss Xu came here early in the morning. Miss Xu was worried that Prince Shuo's cook didn't bring enough food, so she went to the imperial kitchen, and Prince Chen followed her."

"Why do I feel like Chen Er has become a different person? He can't leave that girl even for a moment."

"This is a good thing. Your Majesty, I will go out and take a look."

Not long after the ministers sat down, palace maids filed in, filling their noses with the alluring aroma of food. Dishes they had never seen before were placed on the table. Prince Chen led Xu Zhen in, and everyone greeted them and took their seats.

The emperor raised his glass and said, "Today, I and all the ministers would like to toast Miss Xu. Thank you for your generosity in stopping the epidemic, curing the plague, and sending grain. Look at this bright hall, the glowing balls on it are called electric lights. In the near future, every household will have the opportunity to use them, and there will be better things that you and I have never thought of. The good days of our Anguo are about to begin. All the ministers should continue to work hard and cooperate with the goddess. May our Anguo become rich and strong as soon as possible."

All the ministers stood up in unison and said in unison: "May our country become prosperous and strong as soon as possible."

Everyone drank the glass of wine, and after the emperor started eating, the ministers picked up their chopsticks and tasted the delicious food one by one.

The moment he took a bite, he was either surprised or coughed because of the spiciness, but he couldn't stop wanting to take a second bite. The only sound in the hall was the sound of eating. It was the first time the emperor saw ministers eating so quietly. He thought about how he and the queen ate in the Chen Palace at noon. It was incredible. Maybe this was the first time in their lives that they ate like this.

When everyone was almost done eating, someone finally remembered to ask the emperor if he had a new cook. The emperor introduced cheerfully, "I borrowed this cook from Yipinlou. You will have a good time in the future. You can eat there anytime outside the palace. I am afraid I can only think about it."

"Your Majesty is talking about the Second Prince's First-class Building?"

"Yeah, exactly."

"It has been a long time since the Second Prince returned to the capital. Now that Yipinlou has produced so many delicious dishes, it seems that the Second Prince's trip was not in vain."

Chen Yan was not calm after hearing this, he knew the whereabouts of the second prince. Although the second prince's disappearance had been kept secret from everyone, it seemed that the second prince had been rescued. Otherwise, who would have the ability to recommend the chef of Yipinlou to the palace, and let the emperor introduce him personally. He felt uneasy and couldn't help but secretly glance at An Chen and Xu Zhen. It was his guilty little action that made the two people sure that Chen Yan knew a lot. This person must be investigated carefully.

Defu received the emperor's signal and said, "Prince Shuo is a filial son. The cook just learned a new dish, and he hadn't finished his work yet, so he asked the housekeeper in the mansion to send the cook to the palace, insisting that the emperor and the ladies in the palace taste it first. The ministers sent all the dishes used here to the ladies in the harem, and they all liked them."

Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue said: "The Second Prince has donated a lot of silver to the national treasury in recent years, and he has also sent a lot of military rations to Anguo. He is worthy of being the King of Shuo, well done!"

"The emperor's three princes are all first-rate."

"Indeed, why didn't I see the Third Prince today?"

"I heard that he is hosting a banquet for all the merchants in Beijing tonight to raise food for the people."

"Oh? The Third Prince is wholeheartedly devoted to the people. It is a blessing for Anguo to have three princes who are so devoted to the people."
