Chapter 299: The Ambitious Concubine in the Palace Fighting Story (Extra)
The seventh year of Jin'an.
In the fourth year after the wedding of the emperor and empress, Emperor Chao Jinyu still did not hold a beauty contest to select a concubine.
Most of the women who had been waiting for the talent show to start have already married and had children.
Those remarks that one would not marry anyone other than the emperor gradually disappeared, and the stories about the deep love between the emperor and empress became widely circulated among the people. People all lamented that it was rare for a romantic person to appear in the royal family.
Royal Palace——
Chao Jinyu had just finished dealing with the flood issue in the south of the Yangtze River when he saw Ji Chutang walking in happily from outside.
She was holding a small bowl in her hand, smiling, and walked towards Chao Jinyu.
When Chao Jinyu saw her, he immediately smiled, but when his eyes moved to the bowl in her hand, his smile suddenly froze.
But Ji Chutang had a genuine smile on his face.
"Husband, I prepared black-bone chicken soup for you today. It is absolutely delicious."
He forced a smile and said to Jin Yu: "My lady, you have worked hard."
Ji Chutang raised her head proudly, and then said: "For my husband, I won't work hard."
"As long as my husband handles the memorials well every day, I will be willing to cook for you every day."
Then he placed the glass bowl in his hand on the imperial desk in front of Chao Jinyu, with a sincere smile in his eyes.
"Drink it quickly, so you can handle government affairs well after drinking it."
Chao Jinyu also smiled, picked up the glass bowl, and drank it all.
Ouch, so salty.
Chao Jinyu's expression suddenly became a mess, and then returned to normal when he put down the bowl.
"Delicious."
"As long as it tastes good, I'll make it for you every day as long as you handle government affairs well and be a good emperor."
Ji Chutang quickly took the opportunity to spur him on.
When Chao Jinyu heard this, he panicked for a moment, then pulled Ji Chutang over and hugged him in his arms.
"I will obey the Empress's order, but you don't have to do these things. Leave it to the people in the imperial kitchen. Otherwise, why would I keep them around?"
"Don't work too hard. As long as you are willing to accompany me when I am handling government affairs, I will be very happy and relieved."
While Chao Jinyu was talking to him, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss Ji Chutang's soft and fair little face.
The system sees everything and analyzes the host's soup-making process through system detection.
The system concluded: This soup is too salty and definitely not tasty.
However, the reaction of the lucky male protagonist confused the system, but it was only uncertain for a while.
Then he immediately confirmed his conclusion.
There is absolutely no way there could be something wrong with the program analysis; there must be something wrong with the lucky male protagonist's sense of taste.
The system expressed extreme doubt and deep sympathy for the lucky male protagonist regarding the host's attempt to use cooking skills to spur the lucky male protagonist.
System Persuasion: [How about... let's try a different method of encouragement...]
It is afraid that it will backfire and end up creating a tyrant.
Ji Chutang didn't care: [Don't worry, look, he drank it all in one breath, he likes it so much. ]
[If you want to capture a man's heart, you have to capture his stomach. This trick can't go wrong. ]
The system sighed: […I hope so.]
As long as the lucky hero's sense of taste never gets better, there should be... no problem.
Chao Jinyu also sighed secretly in his heart, fortunately he had enough perseverance.
Then I started thinking of countermeasures in my mind.
Otherwise... keep the soup next time and give it to the minister who is disobedient.
Chao Jinyu was thinking about the feasibility of this method.
At this time, Ji Chutang told him to handle government affairs well, and then left in a happy mood.
Chao Jinyu looked at Ji Chutang's beautiful back as she left with her skirt swinging like a butterfly.
I no longer have the heart to think about government affairs.
I wish I could become a tyrant immediately and then catch the beauty with my eyes blindfolded.
Unfortunately, this thought only stayed in his mind for a few seconds, and then he began to resign himself to dealing with government affairs.
Never mind his own ambitions.
He couldn't even get past Tangtang's test, which was even stricter than the one his teacher, the Prince's Tutor, had given him.
She wished that he would work hard for the country and the people all the time, which made Chao Jinyu love and resent him at the same time.
This kind of life continued until the twelfth year of Jin'an, until the Yu Dynasty reached its most prosperous peak since its founding.
It was praised as a prosperous era, the prosperous era of the Ji Dynasty.
That year, Tangtang began to relax her pressure on him. He knew that he had reached her standard of a wise ruler.
That day, Tangtang didn't make soup for him for the first time.
Instead, she praised him as her lucky star, and asked him to put aside his government affairs temporarily and go out with her.
God knows how happy he was.
She hugged Ji Chutang and spun around, shouting excitedly: "I knew that I had been recognized by Tangtang, ahhh, I am so happy."
System: […You think too much. She just completed her mission.]
They both changed into their regular clothes.
Soon after, a low-key carriage drove out from the door in the corner of the palace.
Chao Jinyu hasn't gone out to play for a long time, especially in the recent period, when there were so many things going on that he had to bury himself in memorials.
He could only let his dear wife go out and have fun by herself.
But Tangtang is still very conscientious. Every time she goes out, she will bring him some things from outside the palace to coax him.
Or maybe you ate a candied haws.
Or some weird little gadgets.
Today is the Lantern Festival.
The streets and alleys were already very busy in the afternoon, and the arrangements for the lantern festival were proceeding in an orderly manner.
It was dark in a short while.
Because of the lantern festival, the capital city of Shangjing is brightly lit at night, and many beautiful lanterns have appeared in the moat one after another.
Chao Jinyu held Ji Chutang's hand and was unwilling to let go. Most of the people at the Lantern Festival were couples.
At this moment, how could Chao Jinyu forget to show off his wife, so he naturally led her along. Along the way, he received many envious looks from men.
Chao Jinyu held it tighter with joy and pride.
Both of them are outstanding in appearance, and they look very well matched.
Unexpectedly, he met his minister, the young Shaoqing of Dali Temple, on the road.
Chao Jinyu quickly signaled to him.
The other party was also very smart and received the signal immediately. Then he just bowed, just like a friend greeting.
But his tone and attitude were much more respectful.
"Mr. Yu, Madam Yu."
Ji Chutang nodded, then quickly pulled Chao Jinyu to leave. She saw a very beautiful lantern.
Chao Jinyu must be captured by her.
After the two men left, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple looked in the direction they left for a long time.
Then he sighed, those old antiques always wanted the emperor to select concubines.
Isn't this a joke? With so much pearls and jade in front of us, who would want to sift through some gravel?

small theater
System: [You think too much. She just didn’t want to eat it or was tired of playing, so she brought it back to you.]
Chao Jinyu shook his head frantically: [I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to listen… She tasted a piece of the candied haws and found it sweet, so she brought it to me; she found it interesting, so she brought it to me…]
[Don't try to sow discord!!!]
The system shook its head: [It’s hopeless. ]
