As for Yinzhen, after listening to what his wife said yesterday, he now has a specific direction to work towards.

I was so busy that I didn't even think about whether I was hungry.

Su Peisheng noticed it was lunchtime and was about to remind his master that it was time to eat when Gao Wuyong arrived.

Su Peisheng asked with concern, "Steward Gao, what brings you here? Has something happened at the manor?"

It's no wonder Su Peisheng was so worried. He and Gao Wuyong were both favorites of their master, and it was hard to say who was superior. He always followed his master and obeyed his orders, while Gao Wuyong was in charge of many matters within the mansion.

His personal visit explains why Su Peisheng might have overthinking things.

Gao Wuyong chuckled and said, "You're overthinking it. The Princess Consort was worried that the Master wouldn't be used to the food outside, so she ordered me to bring him meals. Nothing has happened in the manor."

Su Peisheng breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that nothing bad had happened.

However, Su Peisheng was somewhat surprised that the Fujin would take the initiative to bring food to her master.

He spends all his time by his master's side, and in the past few days he has clearly seen that in the interactions between the master and his wife, the master is mostly the one who takes the initiative. The wife is not unkind to the master, but she is more passive than friendly.

It's somewhat like not wanting to feel indebted.

That's why Su Peisheng didn't think of it.

However, if the princess consort brings food to the master, the master will probably be very happy to know that.

“The princess is so attentive to the master. Then give me this meal! I’ll take it to the master right away.”

This saves him the trouble of having someone prepare meals.

Gao Wuyong handed the food to Su Peisheng, said a few words, and then left.

Su Peisheng carried the food box and went into the house.

"My lord, the Princess Consort has specially brought you some food. Would you like to have some before continuing your duties?"

Yinzhen looked up from the files; his concubine had brought him food.

He put down his pen, nodded, and said, "Alright."

Su Peisheng helped him wash his hands, and then took out the food from the food box one by one. The food box had been specially prepared, and the food inside was still steaming hot when it was taken out.

After setting out the food, Su Peisheng couldn't help but say, "These are all the dishes that Master usually likes to eat. The Princess Consort really takes great care of Master!"

Yinzhen smiled. The vegetarian dishes were indeed his favorites, but there were also quite a few meat dishes. It seemed that his young wife was determined to cure his "picky eating" problem.

Although he wasn't a picky eater to begin with.

However, the young lady was indeed very thoughtful.

Eating the hot food warmed his heart, which suddenly reminded Yinzhen of a winter one year.

At that time, I was still studying in the Imperial Study. That day, the snow was so heavy that all the brothers had lunch together in the Imperial Study.

He discovered that both the older brother and the younger brother received care from their mother, a snack, a bowl of soup, or a delicious dish...

Although the Crown Prince did not receive his mother's care, his father, the Emperor, had sent someone to deliver some warm soup to comfort his stomach.

He was the only one who, despite having both a foster mother and a biological mother, could only eat the food delivered from the kitchen.

The meal, prepared by the kitchen, tasted as delicious as usual, but he found it tasteless.

It was only then that he truly understood that even among princes, people are different.

Now, as he chewed on the meal that his young wife had carefully prepared, Yinzhen suddenly realized that he didn't seem to care so much about the things in his memories anymore.

Nowadays, people care whether he eats well and whether the food suits his taste.

It's as if a wandering soul has suddenly found a home, becoming a living person, growing flesh and blood, and able to feel warmth.

Yinzhen was health-conscious and didn't eat a particularly large amount of food. Tong Cheng'er would usually have some left over from the meals she prepared for him. But today, Yinzhen surprisingly ate all the food up.

When Su Peisheng was clearing away the dishes, he was shocked to find that there wasn't a single leftover food.

Su Peisheng couldn't help but sigh again, thinking that his master was becoming increasingly strange since meeting his wife.

Eating so much, and with the master basically sitting still while on duty, I wonder if he'll get indigestion.

He thought to himself that he should go back and tell the people around the Fujin (principal wife) to tell her not to prepare too much food. The master eats the food sent by the Fujin very honestly. It's okay if he eats like this once, but if it happens a few more times, the master might really have to see the imperial physician.

After finishing his meal, Yinzhen had even more energy to do his work.

Yinzhen would review the case files again in the afternoon and then write something down; his thoughts were remarkably clear.

He couldn't help but think of the meals that his concubine had sent over. The meals that his concubine sent over not only tasted good, but also refreshed him.

The young lady is so kind.

Yinzhen spent the entire day organizing plans for the future of the Ministry of Revenue, such as "How to use feigned pitifulness to make Father Emperor pay attention to the Ministry of Revenue's lack of funds" and "How to unite the Ministry of Revenue against external threats"...

Of course, it won't be written so explicitly, but that's the gist of it.

Throughout the day, Yinzhen's mind was exceptionally sharp in the afternoon, so he managed to get it almost done.

Su Peisheng spoke up at this moment, saying, "Master, it's already 5 PM."

Yinzhen stretched and then said, "It's late afternoon. Time to go home."

Just as he was packing up to leave, the Minister of Revenue, the Vice Minister of Revenue, and several other officials with some real power in the Ministry of Revenue arrived.

Looking at the scene, Yinzhen thought to himself that he would probably have to go back later today.

"We, your servants, greet the Fourth Prince."

The person who took the lead in speaking was Gu Badai, the Minister of Revenue.

Gu Badai came from the prominent Manchu clan, the Irgen Gioro clan, which produced many officials. In addition, Gu himself was quite capable, so Yinzhen had a good impression of him.
