Princess Fubao brought trillions of goods to help her father rule the world

Soon, Xiao Dezi brought a few young eunuchs and walked into the imperial study carrying food boxes.

Xiao Baozhu lay in Xiao Heng's arms and watched Xiao Dezi place the meals on the table one by one.

She couldn't help smacking her lips and shaking her head inwardly. It was the same old brown rice porridge and pickled radish strips...

Seeing the two adults' eyes glowing green, Xiao Baozhu couldn't help but sigh to the sky...

This is too pathetic... Prime Minister Liu and Minister Xia are at least the most trusted ministers in the court, but they are just being dismissed with brown rice and radish strips?

If Liu Kuqi and Xia Zhanshu knew what the little princess was thinking, they would definitely cry and defend themselves.

It's really because the court can't pay their salaries, and the emperor keeps taking advantage of them. Their family is so poor that they can't even make ends meet!

It's not easy to have a meal of brown rice porridge and pickled radish strips...

For a moment, the only sound in the imperial study was the crunching sound of three people chewing radish strips.

Xiao Baozhu couldn't bear to watch this, so she decided to let these three people who had never seen the world see what real food is like in the 22nd century!

Thinking of this, Xiao Baozhu waved her hand, and three servings of hot braised chicken with rice appeared on the imperial table in front of Xiao Heng.

The rich aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of rice wafted into everyone's nostrils.

Xiao Heng couldn't help but sniff and noticed the three servings of braised chicken with rice on the table.

In just a moment, his attention was attracted by the braised chicken rice on the table.

Xiao Heng rubbed his eyes in disbelief and then looked at the little girl in his arms.

Xiao Baozhu winked at Xiao Heng playfully and pointed her little finger at the braised chicken rice on the table, signaling him to taste it quickly.

Xiao Heng couldn't help but reach out and take one of the servings of braised chicken with rice. Looking at the rice coated in the soup and becoming greasy, he swallowed his saliva in a cowardly manner.

Prime Minister Liu and Minister Xia had been secretly watching Xiao Heng's every move out of the corner of their eyes. Seeing that the emperor had put down his chopsticks, they quickly stopped picking up radish strips with their chopsticks.

The emperor squinted his eyes and held something like a bowl in his hand. The two of them couldn't help but sniff and smell the aroma of braised chicken and rice.

Prime Minister Liu asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what is that in your hand? Why... why does it emit such a strong fragrance?"

After saying this, Prime Minister Liu couldn't help licking his lips. Looking at the pickled radish strips and brown rice porridge on the table, he suddenly felt that they were not fragrant anymore...

At this moment, Xiao Heng's attention was completely attracted by the delicious food that the little girl brought out.

Hearing Prime Minister Liu's question, he reflexively pulled the three servings of braised chicken with rice towards himself.

"My two dear ministers, have some porridge, have some porridge! Don't be polite with me..." If he hadn't pushed the fragrant food into his arms, Prime Minister Liu and Minister Xia would have looked at him with tears of gratitude.

Xiao Baozhu rolled her eyes secretly, what a useless father!

She stretched out her little hand and gently tugged at Xiao Heng's collar, pointed at the two bowls of fragrant rice in front of her and then at the two adults with wide eyes.

Xiao Heng understood instantly, and he coughed awkwardly: "Ahem...My dear ministers, why don't you try this food too?"

Liu Kuqi and Xia Zhanshu looked at each other. Since the emperor said so, they would not be polite!

Xiao Heng watched helplessly as the two portions of food were taken away by the two men. He could only pretend that he didn't care and smiled at them.

At this moment, Xiao Baozhu really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into and never come out again!

Just a plate of braised chicken with rice. If the emperor wants to eat it later, she can just take it out...

The two people who were originally hesitant saw Xiao Heng holding the rice and eating it with relish, so they didn't delay any longer and quickly took the chopsticks and stuffed it into their mouths.

What a joke! If they don't eat quickly, given the emperor's stingy nature, he will definitely find ways to take this delicacy back!

Therefore, only what you eat truly belongs to you!

As soon as they took a mouthful of rice, the three of them couldn't help but widen their eyes.

fragrant! It smells so good!

Even before the famine, the three of them had never eaten such delicious food!

And the rice was even better than the finest rice they had ever eaten!

For a moment, the only sounds in the imperial study were the chewing of three people.

After about a quarter of an hour, the three finally put down their lunch boxes.

Minister Xia burped without any scruples, looking at the lunch box in his hand that looked like it had been washed, and still refused to put it down.

He hesitated for a long time and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I want to take this food box back to the palace..."

Xiao Heng didn't think too much about it. It was just a lunch box, and he wasn't that stingy.

"I agree!" Xiao Heng waved his hand domineeringly.

Minister Xia quickly put the lunch box in his arms carefully, feeling secretly delighted.

After he returned, he would make sure to take good care of the food box and also offer a longevity tablet to the little princess.

He also wants to pass this food box down as a family heirloom so that the descendants of the Xia family can admire it every day!

The three of them finished their braised chicken with rice with satisfaction, and began to discuss the urgent report sent from Yanming Pass this morning.

Thinking of Prince Zhennan and the Fourth Prince at Yanming Pass, Xiao Heng's heart was gripped again.

"Tell me, my two dear ministers! Do you have any candidates in mind to go to Yanming Pass for support?" Xiao Heng tapped lightly on the imperial desk in front of him.

Minister Xia thought for a moment before speaking: "Your Majesty, I have a candidate in mind! The Duke of Zhenguo has been through hundreds of battles and can go to Yanming Pass to provide support!"

Xiao Baozhu was stunned. Grandfather?

My grandfather’s health hasn’t fully recovered yet, how can he go to the battlefield?

Besides, swords and guns are blind on the battlefield, and my grandfather is old and his reaction will definitely be worse than that of a young general. If... anything happens to my grandfather, my mother will cry her heart out!

Xiao Heng objected: "The Duke of Zhenguo has just returned to the capital, and he has submitted a petition. He will return to the northern border to garrison after the New Year! I think we should let General Zhongwu Wei Guang go..."

Minister Xia was stunned. Wei Guang?

It's not impossible, but I don't have the experience of the Duke of Zhenguo...

"Your Majesty, I think General Wei is brave and good at fighting, and he is the most suitable person to go to Yanming Pass for support!" Prime Minister Liu said.

"In that case, let Wei Guang lead 50,000 troops to Yanming Pass for support. Liu Aiqing, you and Qian Delai must prepare the food and fodder for the expedition. We must not let our soldiers go hungry! Xiao Dezi, go to the Zhongwu General's Mansion to convey the order!"

...

Yanming Pass

King Xiao Yan of Zhennan was standing on the city wall, looking into the distance.

I wonder if my brother has received the secret letter and asked someone to bring troops to support us...

"Uncle, what are you doing standing here?" The voice of the Fourth Prince Xiao Cheng'an came from behind him.

Xiao Yan raised his hand and patted his nephew's head, and said with his thin lips: "I am fine, but how did you find yourself here?"

Xiao Cheng'an stood on tiptoe and placed his hands on the city wall. His originally fair and tender face was turned red by the wind and sand.

After a long time, he looked up at Xiao Yan and whispered: "Uncle, hasn't the emperor sent anyone yet? Today I heard from the grain officer that our food supply is almost exhausted..."
