So Ying Zheng couldn't help but remind him.

He had never seen such a sleepy person before. By 9 o'clock, he had already finished attending court, practicing martial arts, and having breakfast.

He is indeed a pleasure-seeking little fox.

"Yes, I will take my leave."

Chu Yuening walked out of Zhangtai Palace quickly, a little angrily.

The emperor, who was turned down for the first time, did not get angry, but just laughed silently.

Why are you so childish?

Have I been indulging her too much recently?

Well, it’s okay for the person I admire to be a little arrogant because of my favor.

noon.

Chu Yuening first went to the Shangshi Bureau to cook a bowl of fragrant clear soup noodles herself.

And out of vengeance, he only made one bowl.

After eating and drinking her fill, she went to guide the craftsmen who had been waiting for a long time with full energy.

She already knew the papermaking process by heart, so she could teach others with ease.

Although so many craftsmen worked together, it would take half a month for the first batch of paper to be produced.

Even though the raw materials are cheap, the labor and time costs of traditional papermaking are still a bit high.

So Chu Yuening planned to go for the expensive and high-quality route, pricing the tickets at one cent each.

After all, what Xianyang City lacks the least is rich people.

As for promoting papermaking technology to the general public so that people can learn to read and write and change their social status, it is still too early.

We must first thoroughly solve the problem of food and clothing for the people before we can talk about other things on a material basis.

If survival needs are not met, who would consider pursuing spiritual needs?

This may be the cruel truth of the world.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and class stratification has always existed.

Chu Yuening shook her head and stopped thinking about these pessimistic things.

Perhaps in the future, she can provide the general public with an opportunity to break their fate.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Gao suddenly came to find her.

"Lord Chu, His Majesty is waiting for you at Zhangtai Palace."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuening suddenly felt a little alert.

Could it be that someone doesn't think 37% is enough and wants 28%?

When she arrived at the palace with trepidation, she found two servings of noodles on the table. Only then did she feel relieved and even had the mood to make a joke.

"Your Majesty, why are you eating knife-cut noodles again today?"

"I didn't get to taste Chu Qing's cooking at noon, so now I can only eat knife-cut noodles to satisfy my craving."

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of smile on his face, and a hint of mischief in his low voice.

Chu Yuening's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes wandered, like a little fox that had been caught stealing food.

Why is the First Emperor so vindictive?

It's just a bowl of noodles, you cheapskate.

Chu Yuening was fighting hard in her heart, but on the surface she was submissive and submissive.

"I was negligent for a moment. I will make an extra bowl for Your Majesty next time."

After saying that, she picked up a pen and paper and wrote down a series of noodle recipes, and gave the emperor a flattering smile.

"There are many ways to make noodles. Your Majesty can try them all."

"Goodness can be promoted along with the stone mill."

Ying Zheng took the paper, took a look at it, and gave it to Zhao Gao, asking him to make the arrangements.

He didn't continue teasing the little fox, for fear of bullying it and making it angry, so that it would go home and hide in its bed and cry secretly.

The two of them dined quietly, and the atmosphere was inexplicably warm.

After finishing her meal, Chu Yuening looked up and saw Ying Zheng handing her an exquisitely carved box.

Her beautiful eyes lit up and she took it with great anticipation.

Could it be that the gold cakes inside were given to her by His Majesty as a reward?

However, the result was unexpected; it turned out to be a circular mutton-fat jade pendant!

The whole body is flawless white, warm to the touch, moist and transparent, which shows that it is of excellent quality and worth a lot of money.

Moreover, it feels extremely smooth and delicate, as if it has been often rubbed and played with in people's hands.

"I carved this jade myself when I was young, and I'm giving it to Yue Ning today."
