While mentally lamenting his sins, his mind was preoccupied with the thought, "Only by being well-fed and healthy can I work effectively, right?"
She's not the kind of unscrupulous capitalist who only makes the horse run but doesn't feed it!
The Crown Prince immediately smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Zhiyan thanks you, Junior Tutor."
Seeing that His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince had both gotten on the bandwagon of freeloading, the officials became anxious.
Master Wang said, "Young Master, now that the vegetables are ripe, shouldn't we replant them after harvesting? We're good at this!"
"I wonder if I, this old man, could go check on how the vegetables are growing? There are two new varieties that I haven't seen before!"
Yue Fuguang had a good impression of Old Master Wang. The old man was very hardworking. Although it was said to be her vegetable garden, it was actually he and his people who took care of it for her.
Although she returned the gift, she really put her heart into it.
She smiled and said, "What's so difficult about that? Just come along, sir. But we're having barbecue today, I wonder if you'll be able to enjoy it?"
Old Master Wang smiled and said, "When I was young, my favorite food was roasted meat. Although I'm older now, my teeth are still good, and my taste hasn't changed, so I can still enjoy it."
Although Xiao Xianjun often talks about fighting and killing, he is undeniably a generous and kind immortal.
He ate quite a bit of the food in the greenhouse, and recently he has felt much better. At over sixty years old, he feels like he has returned to his fifties.
Another person successfully boarded the vehicle, and others rushed over as well. Lu Qi, the Minister of Works, even pulled his subordinate, Chong Shan, along with him.
Minister of Personnel Ji Hongming dragged her new father, Yu Zhongchun, along with even her old father, Yu Laosan, who was brought over by his superior.
Yue Fuguang felt a surge of amusement as she looked at the eager eyes of the crowd, begging for food, but she didn't show it on her face.
She chatted with the system about food during the morning court session, partly because she was really craving it, and partly because she wanted to bait these people.
As the saying goes, you can't make a sale by begging. She can't possibly condescend to invite them. Of course, it would be more natural for these people to take the initiative to ask to have dinner at her place.
She has a big surprise waiting for them!
If the audience isn't all there, who are she and the system performing for?
Seeing that all the powerful figures in the court had arrived, Yue Fuguang pretended to understand the looks in everyone's eyes.
So he said, "If you gentlemen have the time, you are welcome to visit my humble abode..."
"Young Master, I have some free time..."
Before Yue Fuguang could finish speaking, a chubby, round young official, who looked like he was well-fed, raised his plump, fleshy hands and shouted excitedly.
Yue Fu shifted her gaze to him, and when they met Yue Fu's stolen glance, the man instantly tightened his round belly and tried to straighten his back.
His face flushed red, and he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Please don't be offended, Young Master. My name is Wu Yong. I was just too excited to see you, so..."
He chuckled twice, then continued somewhat sheepishly, "My father is Wu Yuanjing, and... my father and I are both free today."
He originally wanted to say that he was free today, but after glancing at his father's warning look, he changed the subject and included his father in the conversation.
The moonlight was clear, but he felt that this young official was very brave. In front of his boss, Emperor Mingxi, he actually said that he was very empty!
He even dragged his father into it, showing how "filial" they are. This father and son are really going all out for a bite to eat!
Yue Fuguang knew Wu Yong not only because his name was easy to remember, but also because of his good looks.
He was a new 'listener' whom she had only recently recruited, which was why he was qualified to attend court. As soon as he appeared, his favorability towards her reached 86 points.
His favorability rating is even higher than that of his father, Wu Yuanjing.
Yue Fuguang was always more tolerant of these 'fans' than others, so she nodded and said, "Then you all come along too."
Upon hearing the words of the Junior Tutor, Wu Yuanjing, who was initially furious at his son for interrupting him and had already planned to starve the boy a few times to teach him a lesson, suddenly beamed with joy.
The slap that was about to hit his son's bottom was instantly replaced by a pat. His large hand gently stroked his son's broad back. Tsk, has this kid gained weight again recently?
Emperor Mingxi, the "big boss," accepted the fact that his ministers were not being given enough work, as they were all key ministers who could hear his voice.
He has always been quite tolerant of these people.
Seeing that the Wu family father and son had successfully recommended themselves, the others who were a step behind sighed with regret and stopped being reserved, loudly recommending themselves.
The once peaceful imperial court suddenly became more bustling than a vegetable market.
Moonlight nodded slightly, and the chubby little hand, imitating the adults, pressed down slightly with a sense of authority.
The chaotic situation instantly subsided, and Yue Fuguang gave everyone an approving look.
Why did the person being seen instantly straighten their back and feel a strange sense of pride?
The childish voice of Yue Fuguang echoed in the hall. She said, "Since all of you gentlemen have free time, why don't you come to my humble abode? My vegetables are ready to eat, so please come and have a taste."
"Thank you for the invitation, Junior Tutor," Wu Yuanjing said first.
Seeing that it was another member of the father and son pair, everyone felt instantly outdone and chimed in, "It is our honor to eat vegetables grown by the Junior Tutor."
Another person said, "Yes, since the weather turned cold, I haven't had any fresh vegetables for many days. I'm really lucky to have some today."
Wu Yong said, "Your Excellency, I apologize for going home first, and I will be there shortly."
Wu Yuanjing grabbed his son by the back of his collar, nearly strangling him to death. "What are you doing home, brat? Didn't you see that Master Shao is hosting a banquet for us? You dare make us wait?"
Wu Yong quickly begged for mercy, "Father, dear father, please let go! If you don't let go, you will lose your only son."
Having barely escaped his father's clutches, Wu Yong quickly said, "No, I just wanted to go home and bring some gifts to the banquet at the Junior Tutor's residence. How could I go empty-handed?"
The officials and Emperor Mingxi, who were preparing to go empty-handed: Kid, we think you're targeting us! And we have evidence.
Some people think that Wu Yuanjing's son usually seems honest but is a bit too fond of food and drink, but after seeing his performance in front of the Junior Tutor today, they suddenly feel that he is also a talented person!
This kid has potential!
Wu Yong continued, "Didn't the estate send over some fresh game yesterday? I'll take some home with me so that His Majesty, the Junior Tutor, His Highness the Crown Prince, and all the other officials can have a taste."
That was his way of putting it; these people were added at the last minute, and what if the Junior Tutor didn't prepare food for so many people?
Not only might it be too late to do it now, but what if the Junior Tutor finds it troublesome and doesn't invite these unimportant people next time?
