Chapter 19: Not Enough
Fang Lingchu took the imperial edict and said to herself, "Just wait for me. I will make you willingly crown me princess. No, crown me king. Hehehe."
After saying this, Eunuch Gao said, "If you have something to report, please do so. If not, please leave the court."
Everyone shouted "Long live the emperor" three times and then left.
The emperor also left in a hurry, fearing that Fang Lingchu would regret it.
Several people went out in groups of three or four, and Fang Lingyan followed behind his father.
At this time, Prime Minister Su walked over and bowed heavily to Fang Lingchu.
Fang Lingchu looked at Prime Minister Su who left after paying his respects, and felt that he had a long way to go.
Everyone could understand Prime Minister Su's actions. After all, Fang Lingyan had praised Prime Minister Su highly in front of His Majesty.
Fang Lingchu glanced at his father and asked the system: [What did my father do? Why did Prime Minister Su give him such a big gift?]
Everyone: Is it possible that it can be done for you?
Minister Fang: His daughter is indeed not very smart.
System: [I don't know. Maybe it's because your father spoke up for him just now? But I think it should be for you.]
Fang Lingyan didn't hear the system's words. He looked at Prime Minister Su's back and said, "He is indeed a great prime minister. His demeanor is unmatched by ordinary people. Unlike my father, I became an official because of a poem, but instead of being happy for me, he even made things difficult for me. Humph."
When everyone heard Fang Lingchu's words, they looked at Minister Fang with an expression that said, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
Even the slow-witted Third Prince, who was walking with the Crown Prince, subconsciously turned back to look at Minister Fang. Fortunately, the Crown Prince was quick enough to pull her away.
Minister Fang really wanted to cry out that he was innocent, but he couldn't.
He only had one feeling now, which was that he wanted to beat his daughter. Really, he never beat children, but this daughter made him feel itchy.
Fang Lingchu suddenly felt a chill on his butt and asked, "System, why does my butt feel chilly? Is someone thinking about my butt?"
The system said perfunctorily: [No, hurry up and leave. If you're not actively eating, there's something wrong with your mind.]
Fang Lingchu retorted: [You can't eat, so why are you so active?]
Although the system felt a little distressed, it still replied: [I can turn on sensory sharing.]
While the two of them were bickering, Fang Lingchu quickly rushed towards the food prepared for them by the court.
Looking at those things, Fang Lingchu was stunned.
A voice like an explosion erupted in my heart: [Ahhh, this dog emperor, he makes them work and doesn't even give them enough food, only this little food to feed the cats, just this little bit of meat, the food is already very unpalatable, wuwuwu.]
Fang Lingchu cursed while eating the food in front of him.
After all, I had been standing for the whole morning and hadn't been given anything to eat, so why would I care whether the food tasted good or not?
Fang Lingchu finished his meal in two bites, then looked eagerly at the table of his father, Minister Fang.
Minister Fang looked at his daughter's eyes, then looked at his own table. He finished his meal in a few bites, then wiped his mouth gracefully.
He ignored his daughter's eager look.
Not to mention that he didn't feel sorry for his daughter. There was only so much food and he had a meeting in the afternoon for another hour or two. He didn't want to be the first person in history to faint from hunger in the court. He couldn't afford to be embarrassed, so he decided to let his daughter starve.
In fact, the amount prepared by the emperor was just enough for a normal man, but Fang Lingchu's appetite was just a little bit bigger than that of a normal man.
Fang Lingchu was so hungry that she lay on the table and complained to the system: [System, I miss my milk tea, Peking duck, and...]
Fang Lingchu was listing all sorts of dishes, some of which you had heard of, and some of which you had not.
At this time, a eunuch brought another food box and slowly walked up to Fang Lingchu and said, "Princess, this is the meal His Majesty specially prepared for you."
Then he opened it, and there were some nice snacks inside, as well as the chicken that Fang Lingchu had just been talking about eating. Although he didn't know what kind of chicken she wanted to eat, it was chicken anyway. Then he brought the staple food, noodles.
Fang Lingchu happily praised the emperor, and then the eunuch left.
Fang Lingchu looked at a chicken leg, picked it up and started eating it, and there was also soup, which he drank without hesitation.
The emperor looked at the eunuch who had returned and asked, "Is that little girl happy? Did she say anything?"
The young eunuch obediently repeated Fang Lingchu's praises for the emperor.
The emperor laughed out loud, and the queen in front of him also felt happy.
Then the couple started eating.
The adults here looked at Fang Lingchu's meal and all knew what was going on tacitly.
Some people tried to please Minister Fang intentionally or unintentionally. After all, they didn't dare to appear in front of Fang Lingchu for fear of being eaten by the crowd.
After eating and drinking, Fang Lingchu began to chat with the system.
[Guagua, this chicken soup tastes just average, not as good as the one in my hometown.
The shared taste bud system also tasted the delicious food and said, "I think it's quite good. I didn't have time to try the food in your hometown before I came here directly."
Everyone: Could it be that Lord Xiao Fang is not from their world?
Fang Lingchu said regretfully: "That's a pity. After all, there are many seasonings in my hometown, with all kinds of flavors. There are also various side dishes, such as white radish, red radish, and corn.
By the way, Guagua, is there corn in this world? 】
Everyone: Even though it doesn’t taste good, you still finished it.
The system said: [No.]
Fang Lingchu murmured, "That's such a shame. Corn yields a thousand kilograms per mu. No, I want to eat corn. I'll draw a picture when I get home and ask my dad to help me find some."
The system has never eaten it, but if the foodie Fang Lingchu says it is delicious, it should be good and the system supports it.
When the adults heard that the yield per mu was 1,000 kilograms, they looked at each other and saw shock and determination in each other's eyes.
Before everyone recovered from their shock, Fang Lingchu continued, "There are also potatoes and sweet potatoes. These two things also require little soil and can be grown anywhere. They're also very filling. I think sweet potatoes are found in Shu, but where do you find potatoes, Guagua?"
Everyone heard two things they had never heard before.
The system said: [It seems to be a tribute from somewhere else, it seems to be from foreigners, and it seems to be from the European continent.]
As the two of them chatted, others could only hear beeping sounds for some words.
However, they also learned from the two people's fragmented words that these three things can increase food production.
The Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War were both very anxious. Minister Fang treated his daughter like a precious treasure.
The others were also a little anxious. As long as they were good officials, they could hear these things, but there were only a few people who could not hear them.
Fang Lingchu was chatting with the system and was a little anxious to get off work. She wanted to draw these things so that she could eat them earlier.
