These days in this palace, the food Chen Zhouheng ate was brought from the food box, half-hot and not much to be picky about.

I worked in the imperial kitchen for a long time today and realized that this was the norm.

"This palace is all eaten like this." Eunuch Li lowered his voice, "Don't make a fuss about normal phenomena."

"This is not good for the body, especially the stomach." Chen Zhouheng said in a low voice.

"This is also impossible. The Queen Mother's side has a small kitchen, so it's closer." Eunuch Li frowned and looked at him and said, "But the imperial kitchen is far away here! Fortunately, the emperor's filial piety and food were accompanied by the Queen Mother's side to have a hot meal."

"Have you ever thought of a solution?" Chen Zhouheng asked, frowned and looked at him.

"What do you think about this? The distance cannot be changed. Can you still move the imperial kitchen to your eyes? It will be flooded by the memorials of the court officials." Eunuch Li looked at the imperial kitchen and then looked at the Ganqing Palace where the emperor was.

"Do you think of a way to eat?" Chen Zhouheng said lightly.

"Oh! My husband's son-in-law! Is there really a way to do this?" Eunuch Li said as he frowned.

"Why don't you need a food box?" Chen Zhouheng suddenly remembered and asked.

"The weather is warm." Eunuch Li said with a smile, "It's getting colder. The most uncomfortable thing is winter, and the Empress Dowager's side is not very good." He pulled his sleeve and said, "Let's go!"

Chen Zhouheng followed Eunuch Li toward the Ganqing Palace, thinking about how to keep the food warm, and the cotton mattresses and leather materials were not very good.

It is better to have a fire, but this wooden food box cannot withstand the open fire at all, so it will be caught at once.

Eunuch Li shook his head and laughed when he was in deep thought. He could really figure it out.

It is really pleasing to be able to take the emperor to heart all the time.

"Hey hey hey!" Eunuch Li quickly reached out and pulled him, "The prince-in-law will go in again."

Chen Zhou came back to his senses and bowed, "Thank you, thank you."

"The prince-in-law is waiting for lunch when he goes to the waiting room, and I have to go in and serve him." Eunuch Li said in a low voice.

"Oh!" Chen Zhou bowed to him and said thank you. He walked towards the waiting room.

Eunuch Li went in to introduce these fresh lunches! Especially the chili peppers, which made the whole imperial kitchen cough constantly.

The sunken boat was waiting in the waiting room for a while and the eunuch came with a food box, four dishes and one soup.

After the eunuch retreated, he stared at the food box without blinking, and simply took it over and looked up and down, left and right a hundred and eighty times.

He had no choice but to eat lunch with chopsticks. To be honest, the chef made impeccable things, but the warm food was not good after all.

After lunch, Chen Zhou put down his chopsticks, stared at the big food box, and thought about how he lived in winter?

I am diligent and have a kang in winter. Fortunately, how can this family without kang survive the winter? Chen Zhouheng suddenly said in front of him, "Shut Pozi." He stood up, "This method should be feasible."

He murmured, "But this soup girl is too ugly and not very good. What is the hand warmer of this wealthy family? Hand warmer." A big smile appeared on her face and she rubbed her hands excitedly.

Emperor Yongtai and the Empress Dowager sat down and looked at the table full of food. They were clearly placed. On one side, they were made of traditional Emperor Yongtai often ate, and on the other side, they were made of new crops.

"It smells so good!" Emperor Yongtai sniffed, "Is this the dish fried with peanut oil?"

"Go back to the emperor," Eunuch Li said hurriedly.

"This taste is much more fragrant than cottonseed oil and soybean oil." Emperor Yongtai waved, "Come on, pick it up." He said excitedly, "I'm going to taste it all."

The Queen Mother looked at him anxiously and said, "Imperial son, I haven't tried it yet!"

"Hurry up, hurry up." Emperor Yongtai said anxiously.

After the little eunuch finished the trial, Emperor Yongtai started eating with his chopsticks.

&*&

After Emperor Yongtai finished lunch, he sent the Empress Dowager and Fang Beichen away, and quickly summoned Shenzhou to come in.

"The prince consort wants to reward you this time, tell me! What do you want?" Emperor Yongtai was in a very good mood, and his face was filled with an unstoppable smile.

"Your Majesty, you deserve this reward. You should reward the imperial village. They planted it unremittingly." Chen Zhouheng bowed his hand and said respectfully.

"Everyone is rewarded, all is rewarded." Emperor Yongtai said happily.

"Is the emperor good food?" Chen Zhouheng stood up straight and looked at him with a smile and asked.

"Okay, okay!" Yongtaidi said three good words in a row, which shows how good he was. "Especially the chili peppers, it's very satisfying! The fried peanuts are more fragrant the more you chew, and the porridge made from corn is surprisingly sweet."

"Your Majesty, I have found that the imperial kitchen is too far away in the imperial city these days, and the food I brought here is much colder." Chen Zhouheng bowed slightly and said to him.

"Hey! Don't mention this. It's always like this. I can't go to the imperial kitchen to have dinner! This is not in line with the rules." Emperor Yongtai waved his hand helplessly.

"I have an idea, but I don't know if it will be successful?" Chen Zhouheng bowed and said.

"Tell me," Emperor Yongtai said, looking at him with great interest.

"Does this hand warmer used by the Emperor in winter be kept in the food box?" Chen Zhouheng's amber pupil looked at him and said.

"Good way." Emperor Yongtai said in front of his eyes, "The red charcoal is placed on the hand stove, and the food is hot in my mouth." He looked at Eunuch Li and said, "Did Li Zi hear it?"

"I heard this, and I'm ready for it." Eunuch Li saluted again, "I'm leaving."

"Go!" Emperor Yongtai smiled and said again, "Don't forget that the mother's side has also arranged it."

"I obey the order." Eunuch Li retreated happily.

&*&

"Sit!" Emperor Yongtai pointed at the Grand Master's chair and said.

Chen Zhou bowed his hand horizontally, thanked the emperor, and then lifted his robe and sat on the drum stool, only half of his butt.

He dared not be careless in front of the emperor.

"The day after tomorrow, I will go out with the Empress Dowager to understand the people's feelings." Emperor Yongtai said excitedly, as if he was eager to share his good things.

"This is too dangerous." Chen Zhouheng said to him with a pale face.

"No, my uncle will arrange someone to protect my mother and me." Emperor Yongtai said to him with a tiny light in his eyes.

"What does the emperor want to know? I can tell you." Chen Zhouheng stood up and bowed, hoping that the emperor would cancel his plan to leave the city.

"What you said is different from what I saw with my own eyes." Emperor Yongtai said with a clear look at him, his tone was unquestionable.

Chen Zhouheng looked at him with a firm attitude and said, "Do you only go to the suburbs of Beijing?"

"I only go to the suburbs of Beijing. I want to go to other places, but I can't come back this day!" Emperor Yongtai smiled and said.

"But what should we do if this civil and military minister? They will try their best to stop it when they know it." Chen Zhouheng couldn't help but say worriedly.
