Speaking of this, Yao Yuan thought of Ji Yuanmao's body. After using the absolute medicine for such a long time, she didn't know if it could be adjusted, so she had to use good red dates to warm it up, and then mixed some qi and blood medicine into the medicated diet Inside, hopefully some use.

The palace staff checked the time very accurately, just after noon, the lunches were brought in one by one, and the tables were filled.Every time he sees this kind of scene, Yao Yuan always feels a little uncomfortable.Two people can't eat much, and four dishes are already a waste.There are at least sixteen large and small plates and dishes on the table, which is too extravagant.She mentioned it to Ji Yuanmao several times, but she vetoed it. She also said that the queen is too thin and needs to be nourished more.Yao Yuan was very depressed. In terms of thinness, Ji Yuanmao was even worse than her.Ji Yuanmao is very tall, a full head taller than Yao Yuan, and his figure is even thinner. If he hadn't cultivated a good frame through long-term martial arts training, he might not even be able to support his yellow robe.

Yao Yuan served Ji Yuanmao a bowl of bird's nest and duck soup: "This duck soup is a new product in the small kitchen, you can try it."

Ji Yuanmao gently stirred clockwise with a white jade spoon a few times, and the soup dissipated a little heat. After drinking two spoons, he felt that the taste was good, and he didn't put it down until the bowl bottomed out.Yao Yuan was very happy. Ji Yuanmao seldom eats, and he is busy with government affairs, so he eats more to be healthy.He added another bowl of pickled quail for her to keep cold, and picked up a chopstick of pickled quail: "It was freshly ordered a few days ago, and it is very fresh."

It was halfway through the meal, and Yao Yuan had only eaten half a bowl of rice, and only a few mouthfuls of food. Ji Yuanmao asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?"

Yao Yuan put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "No, the chef's craftsmanship is very good, but there are too many dishes, I don't know which one to eat."

Ji Yuanmao said with a smile: "What kind of logic is this? If the food tastes good, eat a few more mouthfuls, and if it doesn't taste good, don't eat it."

Yao Yuan pointed to a dish and said, "For example, this dish of chicken feet with celery shreds only moved a chopstick. For us, it is just a dish. For ordinary people, it may be a daily livelihood."

Here it is again, Ji Yuanmao smiled wryly. In fact, she doesn't like too much luxury, but some rules must be followed. It's not that she can't agree to Yao Yuan's request. She has also lived through hard times and can feel the suffering of the people. She just doesn't want to let Yao Yuan is too far away from her. I hope that the two of them stand on the same level and face the world together. She is the king and Yuan Yuan is the queen. They stand side by side and support each other.

"Yuanyuan, it's not that I don't understand your painstaking efforts. It's a good thing that you care about the people, but our meal can't change anything. It's better to be diligent in public affairs and treat the people well."

Yao Yuan thought for a while and said: "A small amount makes a lot. Once or twice won't do much, and after a long time, it will be a big expense. I heard that there was a strong wind in southern Fujian, which knocked down many houses. It's better to save money." Let’s open a porridge shed to help some people.”

Ji Yuanmao wanted to argue, but Yao Yuan immediately said: "I know that you are the emperor and set an example for all people. You must be extra careful in your daily life, and you don't want the people below to have arrogance. It's just that we have to look at what is going on. According to historical records, Emperor Heng of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty only had one dish and one meal every day, and he was very popular with the people. During the period of Emperor Heng of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the politics were clear and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Later, the emperors of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were arrogant and luxurious, and did not care about the suffering of the people, which led to the demise of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. We should take history as a warning and emulate Sages."

"One time and another time. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty experienced wars, all industries withered, and the national treasury was empty. Just in need of recuperation, Emperor Heng of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty followed the trend. The people of the Great Yuan Dynasty were nearly a hundred years old, and the people could not be said to be rich, but they also had enough food and clothing. One dish and one soup, if the emperor sits on an equal footing with them in terms of food, there is no guarantee that one day he will also sit on an equal footing in the court. The majesty of the emperor must not be offended!" Ji Yuanmao patiently explained.

Yao Yuan smiled and said: "I understand this principle. So, I thought of a compromise. It is better to halve the diet of the palace and officials according to the number of people. In this way, the royal system can not be lost, and the thrifty wisdom can be left behind. In addition, the salaries of officials in our dynasty are relatively cheap, ranging from princes to guards of the ninth rank, so it is better to increase their salaries by [-]% and govern the government strictly, so as to appease people's hearts and improve integrity."

Speaking of this, Ji Yuanmao can't refuse anymore, this is already Yuanyuan's biggest concession, and it is difficult for a person who is used to living a comfortable life to be imprisoned in the forbidden palace all at once: "Okay! Just do what you say It can be done. However, I have a small request."

Yao Yuan was overjoyed: "Just tell me, as long as I can do it."

Ji Yuanmao flashed a hint of cunning: "Although the dishes are halved, they must be more delicate, and I want you to cook for me. I can't help thinking about life outside the palace. If you are really bored and want to go outside the palace, you must accompany me." That’s fine. You have to treat me like an ordinary wife and husband, wholeheartedly, and don’t hide other people in your eyes.”

Yao Yuan felt sad, she was at ease by nature, but ended up in the most uncomfortable place, and now she has to give up her favorite things for Ji Yuanmao, and be an ancient virtuous woman who caresses her husband and teaches her children. Is this kind of life really what I want?

Sensing the depressed mood of the people around him, Ji Yuanmao went over and held her in his arms, resting his chin on Yao Yuan's head: "I don't want you to have too many concerns in your eyes, I'm enough. You have other concerns in your heart , I am worried, I always feel that in your eyes, I am not the most important."

Yao Yuan couldn't bear Ji Yuanmao's sadness, since she knew her life experience, she couldn't see her being wronged, such a unique woman should show her face and smile.Yao Yuan suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and smiled slightly: "I'm married to you, you are my reliance in this world, who else can I care about besides you?"
