When the emperor moved the chopsticks, the people below dared not to give in. They followed him with the chopsticks, but most of them were doing it.

Gu Xizhao held a "Hongmen Banquet" in Japan today. After eating a few chopsticks, she squinted her eyes and swept around the person below, and then secretly pulled Zhao Sansi's sleeve.

Zhao Sansi came over to understand, put down the chopsticks, took the handkerchief handed over by Li Zhongxian, wiped his mouth, and looked at the people below, "But the things arranged by the queen are not as good as you taste. Why do I think everyone doesn't like it?"

The latter immediately replied: "I dare not. I am very satisfied with the Queen's arrangement."

In the sound of accord, Xu Yingmin's truth seemed very unique. "The things arranged by the Queen are delicious, but they are too vegetarian. I walked around the streets and alleys in Jiangnan, and I may only be able to eat dry steamed buns for ten days and half a month. I thought I could have a banquet in the palace, and today I could have a big fish and meat. But after waiting for so long, I finally waited for a plate of boiled meat slices."

As soon as Xu Yingmin's words fell, the crowd silenced, leaving only the singing and dancing sounds on the stage. Zhao Sansi raised his hand to signal the singing and dancing to stop. When the inside and outside of Taihe Building became quiet, she spoke calmly, "Do you all think like Xu Aiqing? Today's moon-watching banquet disappoints you?"

After a brief silence, Sun Yan, the fool, spoke first, "It is not necessarily true that he said disappointment. After all, the food in the imperial kitchen is really delicious, but there are accidents."

Princess Mingzhao sat at the head of the female family, looked around, and stood up, "Mr. Sun used this accident so well. Mingzhao has attended many palace banquets of all sizes since he was a child, but this time, it is the most unique."

Since entering the palace in April, Princess Mingzhao has been kept in the palace by Zhao Sansi, because Princess Huai'an was at the age of school. Zhao Sansi invited the respected bachelor's teachings from the Hanlin Academy. In order not to make outsiders feel that she was partial to these princesses, she kept the young prince, and Princess Mingzhao also stayed in the palace.

Princess Mingzhao used to be an optional princess in the palace, but now Zhao Sansi treats her as a serious long princess and treats her son well. She is grateful from the bottom of her heart. She is also a person who cherishes gratitude. In such occasions, she is naturally willing to help others.

"These dishes today look vegetarian, but I believe the Queen has also put a lot of effort into it. This summer has been here, and the heat has not yet subsided. The hot weather has ruined people's appetite. Today, these dishes are all appetizing and relieving the heat."

After she said this, people who have a little understanding of medical principles can see that these dishes today seem simple, but after careful consideration, from vegetarian dishes to the last soup, they are actually things that can boost appetite and relieve heat.

Suddenly, they all stood up and thanked Gu Xizhao for their kindness. Xu Yingmin, who had just spoken "disrespectful", hurried out and knelt down, "I would like to ask the Empress to forgive me. The minister was stupid and failed to understand the Empress's good intentions..."

"Although I have put some thoughts into the table today, my original intention is not here." Gu Xizhao raised his hand to signal him to get up, "Get up quickly, Mr. Xu. Speaking of which, you have suffered a lot for the sake of Jiangnan water conservancy. This time you return to Beijing, you should be treated well."

"No, it's a humble minister..."

"Mr. Xu, don't say much." Gu Xizhao interrupted him, and then supported Chan'er on the side and said to everyone below: "This banquet arrangement is simple, I hope you don't blame me. As Emperor Zhao said, the things are simpler and rough this time, because of some weather, but more for the sake of the emperor and the people of Dazhao."

"At the beginning of the construction of Jiangnan Water Conservancy, the money spent was already quite large. I don't know how much money I would spend in the future. For this reason, the emperor couldn't sleep or eat. As the queen, I lived in the deep palace and could not share the worries of the emperor, so I could only live a life with calculating care."

She said sincerely, and Xu Yingmin knelt down straight again, "The Queen Mother has come to this for the sake of the people's fortunes, but I am still caring about these desires. After a few days of comfortable life in the capital, I forgot about the hard days of the people in Jiangnan. The people in Jiangnan suffered from floods and droughts for a long time. I heard that the emperor really wanted to think of a long-term plan for them. They were excited and happy and didn't know what to do. Every household was willing to contribute. In order to use the money in necessary places, the people who work never paid attention to food..."

Xu Yingmin was talking and burst into tears, "The people in Jiangnan are really suffering..."

Gu Xizhao also wiped her tears, "I am in the palace and dressed in a rich and mediocre manner, but I didn't expect that the people in Jiangnan would be so miserable. Jiangnan water conservancy is a great cause that benefits for thousands of years, and it cannot let the people fall down."

Gu Xizhao looked at Zhao Sansi, then looked at Changping Hou, "Since Lord Xu talked about this today, I am here, and I am here to express my opinion in front of you. The emperor is supporting the development of water conservancy in Jiangnan, whether as the queen or as a member of the Zhao Dynasty. I am incompetent and cannot share much for the people, but I can only contribute my own wishes."
