Chapter 2311 Reading more is beneficial
After a while, a piece of soft and fluffy goose oil roll was brought to his mouth. He turned around and saw Nan Yan smiling and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Eat something?"
“…”
"This is made by Ruoshui herself. It's my private dessert."
“…”
“You can’t get it anywhere else.”
“…”
"Give it a try."
Seeing that she was teasing a child, Zhu Feng rolled his eyes at her again, but he took a bite and felt refreshed. Although it was a goose oil roll, it was not greasy at all. Instead, it was soft and delicious, with a fragrant aroma of oil.
Zhu Feng couldn't help but praise: "Mm, it tastes good."
"Not bad, isn't it?"
Zhu Feng took the remaining half and said as he ate, "She's so young, yet she has such cooking skills. Not bad."
Nan Yan laughed and said, "You're already sixteen, are you still young?"
Zhu Feng said coldly, "The hair hasn't grown out yet."
Nan Yan shook her head.
Nowadays, he likes to "take advantage of his age" more and more. He relies on his age to think everyone is childish and immature, but he doesn't realize that he is the most childish one.
Besides, even if the other person’s hair hasn’t fully grown, he still eats the food made by others with relish.
Zhu Feng finished eating, took a sip of tea, and said, "Is it easy for you to use her?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "It's better than I thought."
"oh?"
"Although this girl is young, she is very hardworking. She sees work and is always eager to do it. I haven't had a good appetite recently, so she went to the small kitchen and made various snacks to whet my appetite."
"She can cook so much food?"
"I heard from her that she has been following Taoist Master Miaoming to preach everywhere, going to different places, learning some skills, and now she is a great chef."
"It's hard for this kid."
At this point, Zhu Feng's expression remained unrelieved. He looked at Nan Yan and asked softly, "Did she do anything else?"
Nan Yan asked, "Not yet."
“…”
"She's very well-behaved. Apart from being young and asking a lot of questions, there's nothing wrong with her."
“…”
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "It's better to be careful."
"I know."
As the two were talking, Ran Xiaoyu came in with Ruoshui again. She was holding a bowl of hot medicine in her hand. She walked forward and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine."
Nan Yan frowned when she saw it.
The medicines she took during the confinement period were no less than those she took during the pregnancy. It was these bitter and bland medicines that made her feel sick.
But there was no other way, so he could only take it, pinch his nose, and drink it all in one gulp.
As soon as she finished drinking, Nian Qiu immediately came forward, holding a small plate in his hand and placed it in front of her, saying, "Your Majesty, these are freshly made almonds. Please have a taste."
Nan Yan hurriedly picked one up and put it into her mouth. It tasted sour and sweet, and immediately dispelled the bitterness in her mouth.
Take a breath.
“Mm, it tastes good.”
Ruoshui giggled, and Nanyan picked it up and handed it to Zhu Feng, saying, "Your Majesty, try it too. It tastes better than what we had outside before."
Zhu Feng didn't like sweets very much, but he still took it and ate it.
It was indeed sour and sweet, and his eyes narrowed.
He smiled and said, "This is quite appetizing."
Nan Yan said: "Thanks to this, otherwise I really couldn't eat a single grain of rice these days."
Zhu Feng smiled, turned to look at Ruoshui, and said, "You can even do this."
Ruoshui smiled and said, "Master also often has a poor appetite, so I'm trying to find a way to stimulate her appetite. I can not only make almonds, but also pickle plums, which are even more delicious."
Zhu Feng picked up another almond from the plate and said, "By the way, did you know that your master has left the capital?"
There was a hint of disappointment on Ruoshui's face.
He whispered, "I know."
“…”
"Master has already said that she would leave after she found a place for me to stay. That day, after the Emperor's decree arrived, she told me that she would leave the capital soon."
"Did she say where she was going next?"
Ruoshui looked up, thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe he's going to Wuzhou."
"Wuzhou? What is she doing there?"
"Before I followed Master to the capital, I also passed by there, but Master didn't stay much. This time, it seems that he wants to preach in that area."
“…”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng, who was about to put the almonds into his mouth, stopped and a serious expression appeared on his face.
Nan Yan whispered, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, sighed, and threw the almonds back into the plate in Ruoshui's hand.
He said solemnly: "Wuzhou is a troublesome place."
Nan Yan blinked, thought for a moment, and said, "When I went to Chengqian Palace, it seemed like the King of Wei was also worried about this place. He didn't even care about Xinping's insistence that he play with her. Why is that?"
Zhu Feng sighed.
Then he said, "What else?"
“…”
"The mulberry farmers are causing trouble."
"Sangnong? Making trouble?"
Nan Yan thought about this for a moment, recalling the rumors she had heard in the palace these days. Ran Xiaoyu and Ye Zheng also met from time to time, and she would also hear about things from the previous dynasty. So she said, "Is it the fact that the imperial court has been buying large quantities of raw silk from Yue in recent years, leaving these mulberry farmers with nowhere to sell their silk?"
Zhu Feng nodded.
Nan Yan blinked and looked at him again. After a long pause, she spoke cautiously, "Your Majesty, I know that the harem cannot discuss state affairs, but—I dare to say that these mulberry farmers are causing trouble because they have no place to sell the raw silk they produce. It would be great if the court could buy their raw silk."
“…”
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
After a moment's silence, he suddenly said something incomprehensible.
"Have you read The Guanzi?"
Nan Yan was stunned.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "No."
Although she had secretly attended classes when Si Muyun and others were studying, she had never read books like this.
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're right. Xinping really needs to study more."
“…”
"At this time, the benefits of studying can be seen."
Nan Yan immediately said angrily: "Your Majesty is mocking me!"
Zhu Feng smiled, patted the back of her hand, and said soothingly, "Alright, alright. I'm not trying to ridicule you, I just think you're right. Now is the time to see the benefits of studying."
"Um?"
Nan Yan was about to ask again, but Zhu Feng said sternly, "However, this matter is national policy, and national policy cannot be easily changed."
Nan Yan looked at his determined eyes and immediately realized it.
It is impossible that Zhu Feng couldn't even think of such a simple solution. Since he didn't use it, there must be a reason why he didn't use it.
So he asked softly, "Then Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"
