After traveling through time, I married a male princess

As soon as Ye Yanxing returned to the palace, he went straight to the dining room. Fu Qianrun was already waiting for him to eat.

"Madam, I brought you some delicious food!" Ye Yanxing put the net bag on the ground and asked Fuling to get three plates.

"The prince went out of the city today?"

"Yes, I went with the king." Ye Yanxing knocked open the mud and took the chicken out.

Without the covering of soil, a hint of fragrance wafted out from the cracks.

"What is this?" Fu Qianrun asked, looking at the silver thing.

“This is called beggar’s chicken.”

Fuling brought the dinner plate, Ye Yanxing peeled off the tin foil, and the fragrance spread completely.

"It smells so good." Fu Qianrun moved his nose.

"Really? You will love this taste!" Ye Yanxing said with a smile.

"Yeah." Fu Qianrun was a little impatient.

Ye Yanxing put on disposable gloves, tore the chicken apart, and sat down to prepare to eat.

In fact, he could have cut it with a knife, but he felt that beggar's chicken tasted better if he tore it with his hands.

The two people could not finish two chickens. Seeing that the king was still attracted by the fragrance even after eating, Ye Yanxing cut half of it and threw it to it, and gave the remaining half to Fuling.

"Fuling, let me give you a taste of this. You have worked so hard all this time."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Fuling was flattered. After taking it, she thanked Fu Qianrun again, "Thank you, sir."

"Why are you thanking me? The prince gave it to you." Fu Qianrun raised his eyebrows.

“Uh…” Fuling was speechless.

"Okay, you don't have to wait here, go and eat." Ye Yanxing said.

"Yes! I'll take my leave." Fuling left happily.

She was so greedy that every time Ye Yanxing cooked for Fu Qianrun, she would drool.

I didn't expect to get to eat it today! Fuling was so happy that her pace quickened.

"Madam, try it." Ye Yanxing picked up a piece and put it into Fu Qianrun's bowl.

"Hmm." Fu Qianrun picked up the chopsticks, "Not bad, the meat is delicious."

"Hehe, if my lady likes it, I will make it often in the future." Ye Yanxing also picked up a piece and started eating.

After the meal, they could only eat one sweet potato, which they shared between the two of them. The rest were shared with others.

"What have you been busy with lately, Madam?" Fu Qianrun had been staying in the study or going out to do business during this period. Ye Yanxing could only see him at dinner time.

"There was a landslide on a mountain road in Wude County, Huaizhou. The official road to Yizhou was blocked, and the transportation of salt teams was affected. The salt reserves here are insufficient."

Fu Qianrun frowned.

"Transported from Huaizhou? Is it so far?" Ye Yanxing was surprised. They also have coastal areas in the south. Can't they build salt fields to dry salt?

If sea salt doesn’t work, you can dig well salt or lake salt.

"Don't we have a salt field here?" Ye Yanxing asked.

"No, all the salt coming here is produced in Huaizhou."

So Huaizhou is very rich.

"Why?" Ye Yanxing didn't understand.

"Of course, only there are large natural salt fields there. No other place is suitable for salt fields."

"Natural salt? Doesn't it need to be dried artificially? Then the output is quite high, and it can actually meet the needs of the whole country."

"No, many poor families can't afford to eat a few meals with salt in a year. Salt has always been expensive."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Ye Yanxing was stunned.

Well, he remembered that the salt industry in ancient times was the most lucrative business.

The officials in charge of the salt industry were all extremely wealthy.

"Then how long can our stock last? Is all the salt in the city sold by the government?"

"Well, if the salt team doesn't arrive next month, there will be nothing left by the end of next month."

"Oh."

Ye Yanxing seemed to be thinking about something. This was very passive.

There will be many hidden dangers if there is no preparation from all parties.

What’s more, it is a major issue concerning people’s livelihood.

It seems that he needs to go to the coastal area here to have a look. If that doesn't work, he can dig well salt.

It has to be one of sea salt and well salt, right?

However, well salt may not be suitable here, so let's consider sea salt.

Ye Yanxing shared his thoughts with Fu Qianrun.

"Really? Is the method your lordship said feasible?"

It's no wonder that Fu Qianrun was excited. If it really succeeded, not only would they no longer need to rely on Huaizhou to provide edible salt, but the price of salt could also be lowered, allowing ordinary people to buy affordable salt.

This is a big deal.

"Seriously, I just need to go over and take a look. If it's feasible, we can just dry it ourselves. If not, we can talk about it later. But I think it should be fine."

"Then your Majesty..."

"Don't worry, he will be happier than you."

"Well, your majesty is a good emperor."

"Okay, ma'am, please stop frowning. It makes me feel sad just looking at you." Ye Yanxing slowed down his voice and gently smoothed Fu Qianrun's frown with his fingers.

"Your Majesty is always so talkative."

"Hey, how are you being sarcastic? I'm serious." Ye Yanxing was not convinced.

"I'm not going to argue with the prince anymore. I have things to do."

"Hey, hey, hey, Madam." Ye Yanxing pulled him back, "It's getting dark, Madam, shouldn't I be the one who should be most busy?"

"Your Highness, what are you busy with?" Fu Qianrun didn't really want to leave, and he stopped when he was pulled.

"What do you think, madam, at this late hour?" Ye Yanxing stroked the back of his hand.

"......" Fu Qianrun was speechless, but his ears turned red.

"Madam is shy, so what were you thinking about just now?" Ye Yanxing started teasing again.

"Didn't the prince say it was getting dark? Then let's go back to our room and rest."

Fu Qianrun didn't want to talk to him anymore. There wouldn't be any serious talk anyway, so he pulled him towards the bedroom.

"Okay, okay, Madam, how can I refuse your warm invitation?" Ye Yanxing smiled and let him pull her away.

Fu Qianrun pursed his lips and said nothing. He could never win the argument.

When I returned to the room, the servant had already prepared hot water.

Fu Qianrun helped Ye Yanxing undress and said, "Help the prince take a bath."

Ye Yanxing smiled and opened his arms. It was the first time he enjoyed Fu Qianrun's service.

After entering the bathtub, Fu Qianrun rubbed his back and washed his hair.

"Madam." Ye Yanxing's voice was hoarse.

Fu Qianrun stopped, he had already realized something was wrong, and it would be dangerous if he continued rubbing.

"After washing, Your Majesty can get up now."

Ye Yanxing chuckled and stood up from the bathtub.

Fu Qianrun took one look and wanted to turn his back.

"Madam, why don't you leave?" Ye Yanxing asked softly in his ear.

"First, wipe the prince's body first." Fu Qianrun stuttered.

"Okay." Ye Yanxing opened his arms again.

Fu Qianrun grabbed the bath towel, wiped it casually, and then put clothes on Ye Yanxing.

"Your Highness, it's done." Fu Qianrun helped him put on his clothes.

"Well, hard work ma'am."
