Wen Zhenghai had made up his mind before coming. He would just show up and then go to Fengle County for dinner and accommodation in the evening.

After all, Rongxi Village is a remote and poor place. There is not even a food stall, let alone a restaurant.

As for living, it would be better for him to die than to live in the Ye family's old house.

He has never lived in a place like this since he was a child!

The most important thing is that he always thought that even he couldn't stand it here, so Prince Rui, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, would not be able to bear it.

Who would have thought that I would hear such bad news just after returning from the dirty fields.

Prince Rui is going to live here, so how dare he go to the county town to stay in an inn by himself?

"Oh, Lord Wen, why are you so careless? Why don't you help him up quickly?" Prince Rui had a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

After being helped up, Wen Zhenghai tried to struggle again and said, "I don't think the Ye family's house is very spacious. It probably can't accommodate so many people. How about..."

Before he could finish his words, Prince Rui interrupted him and said, "By the way, old lady, I only ordered people to prepare dinner for me and the people I brought with me.

“Lord Wen probably hasn’t made any preparations, so he and his men will inevitably have to have dinner with you.

"But you must not feel pressured, and there is no need for special treatment. Just give Master Wen the same food that Master Zhan and his men usually eat."

When Wen Zhenghai heard this, he felt like he was broken.

He actually wants to eat the same thing as these country people?

But since Prince Rui had already said so, he couldn't say much, and even smiled apologetically, "Yes, there's no need to make any special preparations."

Seeing Wen Zhenghai’s face almost twisted, Prince Rui felt much better.

The emperor handed over the task of this year's autumn harvest to Prince Rui, so it was naturally impossible for him to do nothing at all.

In addition to looking at the autumn harvest situation near the capital in recent years, he also asked someone to find out about Wen Zhenghai from the Ministry of Agriculture.

Through understanding, we already know that this is a person who likes to show off and has no willingness to do practical work.

However, Prince Rui did not really draw a conclusion about him based on other people's comments. Instead, he planned to wait and see how he performed before drawing a conclusion.

I have to say, it seems now that some of the comments are not groundless. Wen Zhenghai does have a lot of problems.

Although no one is perfect, his faults are not that big either.

However, the Ministry of Agriculture has a special position and is more related to the national agricultural issues, which is the foundation of the country!

This position should be occupied by someone who is down-to-earth, hard-working and hands-on.

Wen Zhenghai didn't know that Prince Rui had already planned to remove him and replace him with someone else, and he was still worrying about dinner and accommodation.

As for the cooking skills of Qingyuan's wife, well, it depends on who you compare her with.

Of course, it is far inferior to Mrs. Ye.

But if compared with Ye Juaner, he can be called a chef.

Objectively speaking, the taste of the dish is just like ordinary home-cooked food.

It’s definitely not bad to eat, but I can’t say how delicious it is.

When Qingyuan's wife heard that she didn't have to prepare dinner for Prince Rui, she felt relieved.

She counted the number of Wen Zhenghai and his men, which meant she had to cook dinner for seven more people, which was not too difficult.

Old Madam Ye added, "Qingyuan's wife, there are so many new people here today, I'm sorry to bother you.

"Just do it first, and I'll pay you later."

"Auntie, what you said is really out of place. It's just food for a few more people, it won't be a big deal.

"If you give me more money for this, it would be a slap in my face!"

Prince Rui added: "There's no need to make too much. The old lady and the children will eat with me."

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand." After saying this, Qingyuan's wife turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

What she said just now was not wrong. After all, it was a big pot meal. If there were more people, just add more ingredients!

As long as it can be fried in the pan, it can be made for several people.

Wen Zhenghai in the yard felt like crying when he saw this.

It's obvious that this village girl is no good. What good things can she make?

If at the end he was served a pot of stew, he would rather starve to death than eat a single bite.

Prince Rui didn't bother to care whether he ate or not. At this time, the guards had already returned from Fengle County with prepared meals.

The meals were placed in food boxes kept warm with hot water, and someone was boiling and changing water in the carriage along the way.

So the food was sent all the way from Fengle County to the Ye family in Rongxi Village, and it was still hot when it was taken out.

The others watched in amazement, and felt that their eyes had been opened and their knowledge had been broadened.

From now on, I’ll have something more to talk about when I go out and talk to others.

Seeing that his men had already placed the food on the table in the west room, Prince Rui invited Old Lady Ye and the children to come in and eat.

Old Mrs. Ye and the five Ye brothers were very reserved in front of Prince Rui. They didn't even dare to use their chopsticks to eat dishes that Prince Rui had never touched before.

Fortunately, there was Sunny at the table, and she began to work hard to serve food to everyone.

"Grandma, have a chicken drumstick!

"Brother, don't you like eating chicken wings?

“…

"Brother Nian Nian, I'll give you my favorite chicken breast."

With just a few chopsticks, Qingtian had almost distributed the entire roast chicken to the Ye family, leaving only the chicken neck and feet on the plate.

Old Mrs. Ye was so nervous when she saw this.

But Qingtian had already put the chicken in each of their bowls, so it didn’t seem appropriate to put it back now?

Several children did not dare to eat and glanced at Prince Rui's expression out of the corner of their eyes.

Prince Rui said very kindly: "Everyone, please don't be polite, just help yourself to what you want to eat.

"Otherwise, Qingtian will be too busy to take care of so many people alone."

Seeing that Prince Rui was not fierce at all and spoke in a very approachable manner, everyone started eating the chicken in their bowls.

Many times, eating seems to be the easiest thing to bring people closer together.

After finishing the chicken in the bowl, the children were not as nervous as they were at the beginning, and gradually began to dare to pick up the food with their chopsticks.

Only Old Lady Ye was still secretly observing Prince Rui.

Not only did he not show any expression of disgust, but he was even paying close attention to Qingtian's situation while he was eating, and would help her pick up some dishes that she couldn't reach.

Seeing this, Old Lady Ye felt much more at ease.

Combined with the fact that Qingtian has now been named a princess, it can be seen that Prince Rui and his wife really love this biological daughter who was accidentally found, otherwise the emperor would not have given Qingtian such a high level of treatment.

The atmosphere in the west room was getting better and better, while Wen Zhenghai, sitting at the table in the main room, could only look at the food on the table and smell the aroma wafting from the west room. He said against his will, "You guys eat more, I'm not hungry."
