Chapter 1355: The Emperor is Very Happy
The dishes for the emperor's lunch had already been ordered. Twelve dishes and one soup were served. In addition, there were fried shredded potatoes, beef and potato cubes, potato pancakes, and steamed potatoes on the side.
The emperor ordered the prince to take a seat, glanced at the dishes, and ordered a beef soup and a Dinghu Shangsu Ming as a reward for Taoist Shang Zhen, which made the prince feel quite unhappy.
His father really trusted this Taoist Shang Zhen.
If it weren't for the fact that the old Taoist priest had almost killed my father because of a problem with his alchemy, which made my father so angry that he ordered him to be executed, leaving my father with some resentment in his heart, I'm afraid he would trust and favor Taoist Shang Zhen even more now.
Because of the lessons learned from the past, Taoist Shang Zhen did not dare to be too presumptuous, and because of this, his life became much better.
But, can Taoist Shang Zhen always be so obedient? Will the emperor not make mistakes again? The prince didn't know, and he didn't dare to think about it, nor did he want to think about it.
As a son and a subject, he had no right to speak.
The emperor took a quick look and the eunuch serving food quickly placed four potato dishes in front of him one by one.
The prince smiled and said, "Father, please try it. I tried it before and thought it tasted really good. That's why I dare to offer it to you, Father."
The emperor nodded, picked up his chopsticks and ate a handful of shredded potatoes.
In fact, the sourness and spiciness of the hot and sour potato shreds must be strong enough to make you unable to stop eating them.
However, when serving meals to the emperor, it is important to be moderate and peaceful. This dish of stir-fried shredded potatoes only has a little bit of spicy and sour taste.
But the imperial chefs in the palace were very skilled. Following the instructions of the chef from the East Palace who came with the crown prince, this dish of shredded potatoes was fried just right, crispy and delicious. The slight sourness and spiciness opened up the taste buds very well and refreshed people.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction.
He then tried several other potato dishes. He even steamed the potatoes himself, peeled off the skin and took a bite.
"That's right!" The emperor was delighted, his eyes sparkled, and he laughed happily, "Prince, you have made a great contribution to the Qin Dynasty! Good, good, that's great! These potatoes can be used as both vegetables and meals, and they are so productive. This is a blessing for the Qin Dynasty!"
The prince quickly stood up, took two steps back, and bowed to his father: "Congratulations, father!"
The young eunuchs all knelt behind the prince and kowtowed to the emperor: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Although they didn't actually know what to say to congratulate the emperor, what the prince said must make sense, so they just had to follow his instructions.
“Hahahaha! Ok, ok!”
The emperor was even happier! He praised the prince very much, and the father and son had a happy meal together. They started with potatoes and talked about people's livelihood for a long time.
Both the father and the son couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy and closeness.
Even the emperor and his subjects are father and son with the same blood!
Naturally, the emperor could not just completely trust the prince, so he sent his trusted eunuchs and the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Personnel and others to check the field and dig on the spot.
This shocked the government and the public!
The Minister of Personnel, Lord Tian, had a look of surprise on his face. He chatted and laughed with everyone and praised them endlessly, but in fact he was so angry that he wanted to curse!
What is this!
How could the prince be so lucky!
The other princes were all furious when they learned that this matter was related to Shao Yunduan and that it was him who caused it. Some of them even wanted to kill him!
