The cold noodle emperor and the pretty princess

"You don't understand, and you won't know if I tell you." Chu Shen sighed, and glanced at her lightly.

"How do you know I don't understand if you don't tell me?"

"Floods in Qizhou, severe drought in Wei County, the treasury is already empty and unable to provide disaster relief, but at this very moment, the Queen Mother still wants to..."

"Build Tonghui Garden and expand it into a palace."

"By the way, that's exactly the case." The emperor nodded with a smile, and raised his hand to touch her little head, "You are really smart, you actually remember everything the queen mother said."

"There is always a solution, Shen, let's go to dinner first, and after dinner, we will find a way to solve these problems together."

Chu Shen laughed, "What can you do? Go and eat by yourself first, I will read the book for a while, and I will wait later..."

"Don't look!" Yunqin stretched out her chubby little hands to mess up the folders in front of him, and shouted angrily, "People are like iron and rice are steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry, go eat first, and then work! If you don’t eat, I’ll just watch you here. If I starve to death, others will laugh at you to death and you won’t be able to support me! Where do you put your face?”

Chu Shen couldn't help laughing out loud, hugged her in his arms, waved his hands and said to the eunuch beside him, "Let's pass on the meal, I can't starve to death for the imperial concubine."

"It's not too bad." Yun Qin smiled and was carried on the stool.

The eunuch in the dining room brought up dishes one by one and placed them in front of the two of them like flowing clouds and flowing water.

Yunqin was slightly dumbfounded, and stretched out his hand to tug on the emperor's sleeve, "Your majesty, there is actually no way to enrich the national treasury. You see, these are wastes! The two of us can't eat so much food at all. Instead of wasting it for nothing, it's better Reduce the amount of meals, just choose the essence, the dishes don’t need to be too rich, four dishes and one soup are enough nutrition.”

"The emperor can start from himself and reduce the huge expenses of the harem, of course, except for the empress dowager, your majesty?"

Holding the spoon, Chu Shen stared at Yunqin in a daze, and suddenly smiled, "I always feel that you don't look like a three-year-old child, who speaks more clearly and wisely than adults, and has unique insights."

"Your Majesty, are you praising me again?" Yun Qin picked up a jade rabbit bag and took a bite, smiling into two crooked silver moons, "Then I'll be disrespectful."

The emperor took a sip of the soup and said, "Actually, it is not easy to reduce the huge expenditure of the harem. This will involve many things at every turn. I am afraid that I will..."

"Ah Shen, why are you so stupid, who told you to reduce more than half of the cost at once to cause riots in the harem? Of course, it will be reduced slowly and quietly. It will be a three-year period to eliminate all kinds of waste. I don't believe it. You don’t have any confidant ministers around you. Of course, let them figure out a way to see how to deal with it best, those disciples and diners, are they raised for nothing?”

The emperor almost choked on the soup, and raised his hand to touch Yunqin's forehead, "It's strange, your little head is so weird, it really doesn't look like a three-year-old child's thinking."
