I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

Qin Yue: [Ah? The harem is full of people, but only the main wife has children... It's not right to say that Prince Nanzhu is not good, he still has children, but to say that he is good, it doesn't seem to be very good, otherwise why don't other concubines have children! ]

The Prince of Nanzhu wanted to find a cave to hide in at this moment. Was he going to tell such a private matter? It was not that he couldn't do it, but those women didn't enter the palace to continue the family line!

That's right, that reason is really embarrassing...

Everyone at the banquet looked at the change in Prince Nanzhu's expression and began to speculate wildly in their hearts.

Could it be that the Prince of Nanzhu deeply loves his wife and, under pressure from court officials, has taken in many people?

But this doesn't explain what the quirk is!

The eunuch standing next to the Prince of Nanzhu: What else could it be! Their former Majesty was very picky in that aspect! But when he came to the Southern Dynasty, he changed and became willing to accept anything...

System: [Host, this has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women! The King of Nanzhu County loves food very much! So the women he took in are all good cooks!]

[It is to prepare different food for him every day! ]

Eunuch: See, he knew it had something to do with this! Sure enough!

The Prince of Nanzhu County was extremely embarrassed. This was actually just a personal hobby, not a fetish, and... there was nothing wrong with it, right...

Everyone at the banquet: Oh my goodness... This emperor is different. He uses the harem as a kitchen! He really makes the best use of everything! This is the first time they have met someone who doesn't like beauty but loves food!

Qin Yue: [Hahahaha! This Nanzhu County King is quite interesting! Hahaha! He actually stuffed a group of women who can cook into the harem just to eat delicious food. Isn’t the imperial kitchen enough? ]

[Oh, he's so funny! Hahahaha! ]

The Prince of Nanzhu awkwardly poked his finger...

System: [The reason why it is called a quirk is that the food that the King of Nanzhu County eats must be freshly cooked on the same day, and he must watch those women cook! ]

Eunuch: So after our prince came to the Southern Dynasty, he liked to eat those freshly made snacks! He squatted in front of the stall, watched them make them, and then ate them happily!

The prince doesn’t like to go to any other restaurants, he just loves this kind of food where he can watch the cooking process!

There are similar freshly made food in Nanzhu folk, but it is too difficult for the prince to leave the palace. More importantly, the food made in the Southern Dynasty tastes better!

Thinking of this, the eunuch couldn't help but licking his lips. Well, he also ate a lot, it was indeed more delicious!

System: [As an emperor, if the court officials knew that he went to the imperial kitchen every day, wouldn't it be a loss of face? Where would the emperor's prestige be? That's why he selected those with good cooking skills in the name of a talent show! ]

[This way, no one will gossip about him when he enters the harem every day. He can take this opportunity to watch the beauties cook and eat delicious food. No one will have any objections... He can also save his face! ]

[Moreover, in order to kick out those young ladies from aristocratic families who have never been involved in women's affairs, he also deliberately included commoner women in the scope of the selection, with the purpose of selecting the woman who really suits his heart! ]

[After all, if he really wanted to select noble women to enter the palace, and he had to cook soup every day, wouldn't the families behind these women know his hobbies? ]

[Over the years, all the women he took into the palace were commoners! Once they entered the palace, the Prince of Nanzhu would promise them that as long as they cooked delicious food for him, he would ensure that they would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives! Life in the palace was more comfortable than their hard work outside! ]

When the Prince of Nanzhu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He had spoken nicely to those girls at the beginning, but in order to appease the Southern Dynasty, there was not much left in the national treasury and his own private treasury. Before receiving the fief, he was afraid that he would have to owe them...

Hmm? But...

The girls are all good at cooking, so it would be a good idea to open a gourmet food shop in Beijing!

He didn't think this way because he was tired of the food made by the girls and now fell in love with the food in Beijing! He was really trying to find a way out for the girls!

With him backing them up in the future, it would be possible for them to look for some tall Southern Dynasty men in the capital!

Right, right! That's right! Anyway, the girls in the palace are not very old, he has to change their identities before they come to the capital!

They are all still virgins! He has never had any bad thoughts about them!

Qin Yue: [Okay, I didn’t expect the Prince of Nanzhu to be such a prince. He would do anything to get food. He even didn’t want the court officials to know, so he sent the cook to the harem…]

System: [However, despite all the precautions taken by the Nanzhu County King, someone still accidentally discovered his strange habit. As a result, when his eldest grandson died, his ashes were used to deal with the Southern Dynasty!]

Upon hearing this, Prince Nanzhu felt unwell.

What the hell? What does my sister mean?

Why did it sound strange to him? It seemed as if there was something else behind the death of his eldest grandson?

However, the imperial physician came to check the grandson’s pulse and found that he was indeed weak when he was born, and died after barely making it to one month old?

Could it be that the eldest grandson was murdered by someone?

When the Prince of Nanzhu thought of this possibility, his heart ached. Who on earth could have killed such a young child? What kind of a bastard was it to kill a baby? If you had the guts, just come and kill him!

Hmm? Wait? My sister said this matter is related to the future fight against the Southern Dynasty? Then this person must be a war advocate!

He was thinking about who were among the war faction...

Today, those who came to the banquet to congratulate Qin Zhao on passing the imperial examination were not only the ladies and young ladies from the backyard, but also many officials from the court, including Minister Lin, who was in charge of the Nanzhu ashes case.

We just released the second prince of Yuan Nanzhu last night, and there are new clues today?

It seems that Prince Nanzhu and his son are both unaware of this clue, or who are leading them by the nose?

Actually, he has always been quite puzzled, because based on his observations over the past month, Prince Nanzhu is not really a smart man, and his second son, who has been imprisoned for more than a month, is even less so.

Except for the fact that he can't smile, he is actually a father's boy at heart!! He is looking forward to the Nanzhu County King to save him all day long!

When interrogated, he would only say that his father told him to do so, so he did it... It's... It's quite infuriating...

When I left the prison yesterday, I was still holding onto Prince Nanzhu tightly, just like a baby who hadn't been weaned!

Given the IQ of these two people, it is really hard to imagine that they could come up with such a trick as melting ashes into accessories!

Thinking of this, Minister Lin's originally relaxed expression of watching the show suddenly disappeared. It seems... the mastermind of this case is someone else.
