After the mind-reading and gossip-eating incident, officials in the imperial city were demoted one a

A hundred years ago, Tianlin Kingdom no longer had any taboo against eating pork, and the people were able to raise pigs. However, there were still those self-righteous moralists who had a double standard.

In particular, aristocratic families considered pigs ugly and believed that raising them polluted the environment, so they restricted pig farming.

Currently, not many people in Tianlin Kingdom can raise pigs, so it can be said that most people cannot afford to eat pork.

What they eat is called pork.

[Hmph! Isn't pork the same as pork? Everyone eats pork but then complains about it—a bunch of hypocrites, wanting to have it both ways.]

[Host, you're amazing!]

When Ye Mian heard that Ye Yaoyao had caused trouble again, he was filled with remorse and regretted letting her go on stage. This wretched girl was indeed born to bring him bad luck.

"Imperial Censor Liu, why are you so angry? Is it because your family can't afford pork that you're making things so difficult for a young girl?"

Prince Jing spoke slowly and deliberately.

The Emperor looked at him strangely, for he had never heard his ninth brother speak so many words in a single conversation.

"Your Highness, I dare not. I only think that mentioning pigs in such an elegant occasion as a palace banquet is really inappropriate."

Prince Jing is still young. Although the court officials do not understand him when he first returned to the palace, his imposing presence surpasses that of the emperor. Now that the emperor's attitude is unclear, no one dares to offend him easily.

[The Ninth Prince is a great man; he really did help me.]

Ye Yaoyao looked at him with delight.

"Miss Ye, why do you want to sing this song?"

"Your Highness, I was frail as a child and occasionally accompanied the doctor to collect medicinal herbs in the countryside, which is how I saw pigs."

The doctor said that eating pork can provide nutrition and protect the body for people.

Your subject is just a little confused. Pigs are easy to raise and grow quickly. Since pork can feed the people, why is it that most people can hardly eat pork even once a month?

Why would officials and wealthy families be so averse to pork? Don't people eat it at all?

Ye Yaoyao feigned ignorance and asked a question only a child would ask.

There was silence in the hall.

"A good question, Your Majesty. Between elegance and the people's livelihood, which is more important?"

"Which minister can answer this question?" King Jing posed the question to the emperor and his ministers.

"I have something to say," said Minister Yan of the Ministry of Personnel, standing up.

“I come from a poor family and love to eat pork. Now that life is relatively good, I still need oil and fat to replenish my energy, let alone ordinary people who make a living by farming.”

Chickens and ducks have a long rearing period, are not large in size, and are difficult to raise. People are reluctant to eat them. I believe that people do not have enough nutrition and there is a shortage of labor.

"Miss Ye, at such a young age, already cares deeply about the suffering of the people; I admire you greatly."

"Your Majesty, we military officers expend the most physical strength. Soldiers need to replenish their strength every day to defend the country. I would like to ask Your Majesty to provide more meat for the soldiers."

Military camps have rations for meat consumption. Unless meat obtained from hunting is provided as an extra meal, meat is only provided once every three days, which is insufficient.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the people's livelihood is more important than elegance."

"I think so too."

"I implore Your Majesty to prioritize the people's livelihood; Ye Yaoyao has done nothing wrong."

"Your Majesty, I request that you revise the decree on the policy of raising livestock by the people." The Crown Prince requested.

“Father, Ye Yaoyao’s presentation of the people’s sentiments is commendable and without fault.”

Throughout the main hall, most of the officials and princes spoke up for Ye Yaoyao.

Ye Yaoyao dared to mention pigs at the banquet because people at that time couldn't live without their appetites.

Seeing so many people speaking up for her, Ye Yaoyao felt more inclined to get to know these royals.

[I was so focused on the Ninth Prince just now. The Emperor is handsome too; the royal family is all so good-looking!]

[Host, the selection of beauties from across the country wasn't for nothing.]

Mu Ningyan had thought Ye Yaoyao would be convicted, but seeing how things had turned out, she glared at her angrily.

[Ye Yaoyao, your smugness won't last long. The medicine is about to take effect, and you won't be qualified to enter the palace anymore.]

The drug Mu Ningyan administered could cause dementia; she was just waiting for her to embarrass herself.

"Hahaha! Ye Yaoyao, what a fine young lady! You've seen things that neither I nor your officials could see. You'll be rewarded!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"My dear ministers, we will discuss your requests in detail tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing Ye Yaoyao being rewarded, Consort Yu smiled charmingly:

"I heard that Miss Ye came back from the dead. It's truly a miracle. She's a compassionate person, no wonder she was blessed by heaven. Why don't you tell us what she thought after waking up in the coffin?"

When Consort Yu mentioned this, many people looked at Ye Yaoyao, who had lain in the coffin, and their expressions changed.

"Your Majesty, after I fell into the water, it was as if I had a long dream. When I woke up, I was already lying in a coffin."

"Your Majesty, I have visited the Ye residence to examine her. Ye Yaoyao is in a state of apparent death, which is a rare occurrence in medicine and is nothing to do with anything else."

When Physician Cen heard someone bring up the matter, he quickly stood up to explain.

The Emperor nodded slightly and looked at Ye Yaoyao, "She is a clever girl. Ye Qing, you have a good daughter."

Upon hearing the Emperor mention him, Ye Mian immediately rose from his seat and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty. It is an honor for my daughter to receive such praise from you."

"I think you and your daughter don't look alike at all."

The princess's sudden remark made Liu Yunshu's heart leap into her throat.

Ye Yaoyao has a classic oval face with smooth, beautiful lines and perfectly proportioned features that create a natural harmony.

Her fair skin had a faint pink tinge, and her captivating, lively eyes were truly mesmerizing.

With her delicate, straight nose and naturally red lips, she is lively and charming, unforgettable at first glance.

Ye Mian replied, "I am of average appearance, but fortunately my daughter resembles her mother and has a beautiful face."

When Prince Jing saw them frowning as they talked about Ye Yaoyao's appearance, he interrupted them.

"Aren't we supposed to perform a show? I'm really looking forward to this song."

"I also look forward to it."

"Then this humble woman will begin to sing."

Pig~ Your nose has two holes

When you have a cold, you still have snot hanging from your nose.

Pig~ You have such dark eyes

I look and look but I can't see the end

Pig~ Your ears are so big!

Even with the fan blowing, I can't hear it.

I'm calling you stupid.

Pig~ Your tail is so curly!

So running and jumping can't be done without it!

Pig head, pig brain, pig body, pig tail

A good baby who is never picky about food

Sleep until the sun rises three times a day

Never brushes teeth, never fights

Pig~ Your belly is so bulging

It's obvious at a glance that they can't stand the hardships of life.

Pig~ Your skin is so white

You must have been reborn as a Buddha in your past life.

wealthy family

Legend has it that your ancestor had eight rakes.

The fortune teller said he was destined to have many romantic entanglements.

He laughs and giggles whenever he sees a pretty girl.

I don't blush and I'm not afraid.

Pig head, pig brain, pig body, pig tail

A good baby who is never picky about food

You look just like him!

The song has a light and lively melody and a brisk rhythm, and Ye Yaoyao's singing is very infectious.

But Mu Ningyan thought Ye Yaoyao was scolding her, and she was so angry that she couldn't keep up with the dance steps and kept stepping on her own feet.

As Ye Yaoyao sang, her body moved along with the song; Mu Ningyan's dance was no match for her few swaying hips.

The entire inner hall was completely silent. No one had ever heard such a light and cheerful melody before. By incorporating the lyrics into daily life, it made it easier for people to resonate with the music.

Singing about pigs is not about pigs; it's more like a friendly banter between friends.

From Ye Yaoyao's song, they saw pigs that were different from those described in the book; they realized that pigs could be so cute and endearing.

Gradually, the young people swayed along with Ye Yaoyao's cheerful singing.

So much so that when Ye Yaoyao finished singing and stopped, everyone was still in a daze.
