Only after hearing Yun Qingluo's assurance did Yun Tao get up and help Yun Qingluo change her clothes and get ready.

"There are many things to do today, and the Emperor will probably be very busy, so let's not wait for him to have breakfast together. Give the order." Yun Qingluo said to Yun Tao beside her as she sat in front of the dressing mirror.

Yun Tao nodded, put down the comb in her hand, went to the door to give a few instructions, and then turned back in to continue doing Yun Qingluo's makeup.

Yun Qingluo happily ate breakfast with her two children.

The Imperial Study.

After the morning court session, Mo Beichen went directly to the Imperial Study, where the eunuch beside him told him the important matters.

Xiao Jue had already given him a general overview of the changes that had occurred in the Xumi Dynasty.

When the senior officials arrived, Mo Beichen had just finished listening to Eunuch Liu's report.

"My beloved ministers, there's no need for such formalities. Guards, please bring seats to my ministers." Mo Beichen stood up, walked to the Grand Tutor, and personally helped him up.

"Your ministers have done very well these past few days, and I am very pleased. Grand Tutor, you have worked hard in educating the Crown Prince," Mo Beichen said earnestly.

The ministers quickly bowed and said it was their duty.

Mo Beichen called a few people together and began to discuss the attack on other continents.

“Your Majesty, the Ghost Continent and the Void Continent are no longer a threat. These surrendered soldiers can be brought under our control to expand our military strength,” Yun Zhentian said first.

“But if they harbor malicious intentions, Your Majesty should reconsider,” a minister standing next to Yun Zhentian said.

Yun Zhentian answered directly, "Then bring over the soldiers' relatives and family members. With them tied down, they naturally won't dare to act rashly. Once things get better, who would be so bored as to start a rebellion?" Yun Zhentian spoke bluntly, but it was indeed very reasonable.

The Grand Tutor smiled and nodded, “This old minister’s thoughts coincide with those of General Yun. The war has been going on for a long time, and His Majesty has always advocated peace. Now that the Ghost Continent and the Void Continent have been destroyed, these people have nowhere to go. Why not settle them in the Land of Sunset and let them contribute to the construction of our dynasty’s mountains and rivers?”

Mo Beichen nodded repeatedly at the Grand Tutor's words.

"What General Yun and the Grand Tutor said is exactly what I thought on the battlefield. However, to show the importance our dynasty attaches to this matter, I would like to send two ministers to personally supervise it. The candidates have not yet been decided. Do any of you ministers have any recommendations?" Mo Beichen frowned slightly.

While he was away, the court's personnel changed, and he only had a superficial understanding of these people.

They were personally promoted by Han Yixuan and the Grand Tutor, so he wasn't worried about their character at all, but he just didn't know who to choose.

The ministers fell silent, pondering their choices. Mo Beichen didn't urge them, but instead ordered his men to change their tea.

There was a noise outside the door, followed by a knock.

"Your Majesty, the Empress has sent someone to deliver the morning meal. She personally cooked it," Eunuch Liu reported as he entered.

Mo Beichen was overjoyed. He hadn't had a meal cooked by Luo Luo herself in a long time, and he was now quite impatient.

The ministers exchanged glances, then quickly rose to leave.

But Eunuch Liu spoke up, "Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Empress also said that she prepared a lot of breakfast and also prepared a portion for all the officials. Her Majesty the Empress said it was to thank them for their hard work in assisting His Highness the Crown Prince with managing state affairs during this period."

Mo Beichen waved his hand at the ministers who had risen, "It's kind of the Empress to go to such trouble. Please sit down and have breakfast with me. You must be hungry after having court so early in the morning."

The ministers were indeed hungry.

Normally, after the morning court session, the ministers would go home for breakfast or return to their posts. But today, the emperor was in a hurry, so they rushed over after court. They hadn't eaten a single bite of food this morning, and the more they drank tea, the hungrier they became.

Yunxin walked in carrying two large food boxes, and Eunuch Liu was also carrying a large food box.

The food box hadn't even been opened yet, but the aroma was already wafting out.

The ministers felt even hungrier.

Mo Beichen beckoned them to come forward, but the ministers were somewhat reserved.

Seeing this, Mo Beichen didn't make things difficult for them. "My dear ministers, please go to the side hall for your meal. After you finish eating, rest for a while before coming back to continue the discussion. Eunuch Liu, please personally escort my dear ministers there."

Eunuch Liu placed the food box he was carrying on Mo Beichen's table. This food box was specially prepared for Mo Beichen, while the other two food boxes were prepared for several ministers.

Yun Zhentian was already excited when he heard that his daughter was cooking.

He must be the most enviable person to be able to eat breakfast prepared by his daughter.

Eunuch Liu handed the food box to the guard at the door, asking him to deliver it to the side hall, while he led several ministers behind him.

Upon arriving at the side hall, Eunuch Liu told them to make themselves at home and then left.

Several ministers looked at the food box, somewhat at a loss, and all turned their gazes to Yun Zhentian.

Yun Zhentian coughed, "It was prepared personally by Her Majesty the Empress, we cannot let Her Majesty down."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, opened the food boxes, and found several bowls of lean meat porridge in one box and pancakes rolled with vegetables in another.

Yun Zhentian was delighted, "It's actually Luo Luo's hand-pulled pancake! I've been craving this so much, hahaha, not bad, not bad. Oh, right, Grand Tutor, please."

Yun Zhentian immediately began distributing food, giving each person a bowl of porridge and a scallion pancake.

After dividing them up, there were two left, and Yun Zhentian shamelessly kept them all.

There are indeed these kinds of snacks on the street; they've only become popular in the last few years, and I've heard they've opened dozens of branches already.
