Star Sea Hunter

When the emperor and his party entered the main hall of the palace, the two concubines were already there to greet them, and then Zhong Mingrui hurried out to greet them.

"Your Majesty, why did you come here in person today!" the prince said with a worried look on his face.

"I heard that you applied for sick leave a few days ago because you were unwell!" Yun Haoyu smiled slightly, "I have been away from home for a while, and I only found out about it yesterday! It just so happens that I have free time at noon today, so I came here to see you. Didn't interrupt your vacation, did it?"

"Where is it, Your Majesty is joking! It's just that you didn't say hello in advance, so that I can make some preparations. Now that you are in such a hurry, it is inevitable that there will be some poor hospitality. I am afraid that you will neglect Your Majesty!" Zhong Mingrui said with a smile.

"My brother, why are you so polite?" Yun Haoyu smiled disapprovingly, "I'm here this time, and I'm only talking about family affairs, not about state affairs! By the way, I think you won't mind if I come over for a meal, right?"

Concubine Zhao Wanqin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, sit down for now, and the concubine will be ready immediately!"

With that said, the three emperors and queens were respectfully welcomed into the highest-standard reception room.When entering the door, Zhong Huiying turned her head and gave her elder brother a hard look, without saying anything.

Zhong Mingrui raised his eyelids slightly, and looked at the queen beside him. Fang Yuqing's expression was calm, her beautiful eyes turned around him, and then fell on the servants of the palace present.Although she never said a single word from the beginning to the end, the prince felt an invisible pressure faintly!

After Yun Haoyu sat down, the maid immediately served tea and snacks, and two palace guards came over to check before allowing His Majesty to speak.

He sighed depressingly: "Isn't it in other places, is it so troublesome to use?"

Fang Yuqing said with a faint smile: "This is the system! Why is Your Majesty unhappy? I think His Royal Highness won't mind, right?"

Zhong Mingrui didn't even dare to say that, the invisible pressure had unknowingly increased a little bit!It made him feel even more uneasy!His Majesty's sudden visit caught him off guard, and he couldn't even think of how to deal with it for a while!

If it was just His Majesty, he wouldn't be so afraid. After all, the other party is also his elder brother. When we get along with each other in the past, because of the openness and selflessness in our hearts, we naturally talk about everything, and there is no sense of restraint!

But since his mentality has changed, he can no longer face his elder brother calmly like before!What's more, now that the shrewd and powerful queen is also present, it makes it even more difficult for him to feel at ease!

Fortunately, there is also my sister, so the scene will not be too subtle and tense. The relationship between the two princesses and Zhong Yuying has always been good, so the atmosphere is also harmonious.

Yun Haoyu sipped a few sips of tea, and asked casually: "I heard that you are not feeling well, so you took a vacation! I don't know what the reason is? Could it be that there are still diseases that cannot be cured with the current level of imperial technology?" ? Could it be that there is something hidden?"

"This..." Zhong Mingrui's complexion changed slightly, and he smiled unnaturally:

"Actually, it's not a big problem. It's just that I have been busy with official duties for the past few years, and my body is a bit too much! So I just want to be lazy for a few days! It makes the emperor laugh!"

"Is that so?" Yun Haoyu sized him up a few times, pondered for a moment, nodded slightly and said:

"The same is true! As the prime minister of the empire, you are the chief assistant! All affairs in this country have to be counted on you! Especially now that the empire's territory is getting bigger and bigger, it is indeed difficult for 10,000+ years to live The burden of imagination! In addition, the Xinghai has not yet been unified, and the national economy is still in a state of war, and all kinds of things are complicated! It is indeed difficult for you to straighten out such a big mess!"

"In the past few years, you haven't taken any real vacations, have you? It's true that I was negligent and ignored your feelings!"

"For the sake of the great cause of the unification of the empire, it is right to suffer some hardships! Don't worry, Brother Huang, I will start working again after I finish handling the family affairs in the past two days!" Zhong Mingrui promised quickly.

Fang Yuqing smiled and said: "Actually, what your majesty said is right! Now that the empire is getting bigger and bigger, there are indeed too many things to deal with! Even the ministers and concubines are very tired from reviewing official documents every day. What! Even if there is a team of wise men to assist in solving it, it will take about ten hours a day to solve it!"

"There are also the chief officials of the various departments of the empire below. Today's life is not easy. Some important official documents are often delayed for several days, and cannot be processed in time! And there are several senior officials who are very old. , because my health can't take it anymore, I have submitted my resignation to my concubine a few days ago!"

"So, the concubine was wondering if there should be a way to ease the burden on the shoulders of the ministers!"

"Hmm! That's the same reason!" Yun Haoyu pondered, "I wonder if you have any suitable ideas?"

"It's not easy? Just add more people!" The queen gave the prince a meaningful look, "Arrange a few more deputy positions for those department heads, and let them share some tasks! Only in this way can efficiency be guaranteed! Especially the prime minister of the empire It’s really hard work to manage a lot of things every day! How about... How about adding a few more assistants?”

Yun Haoyu closed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, then looked at Zhong Mingrui and said, "This method is reasonable, I don't know... Mingrui, what do you think?"

The prince pursed his lips, and said calmly: "What the queen said is very reasonable! My brother has no objection!"

"Well! Let's leave it at that for the time being! Later, you will be responsible for working out a detailed charter, which will be decided by all the ministers!" Yun Haoyu said with satisfaction.

Zhong Yanying glanced at him slightly complaining and said: "Your Majesty, you said that you will not talk about business today! Why did you forget what you said in a blink of an eye?"

"Uh... this! Well, I did break my promise!" Yun Haoyu smiled awkwardly.

She snorted, and said to Zhao Wanqin: "Sister, how is that child Yinxue doing? I haven't seen her for a while, but I miss her a little bit!"

The princess hurriedly said: "Sister, don't be offended, this child is a bit restless, so she didn't let her out to cause trouble. Since you said something, I will bring her here to show you!"

As she spoke, she winked at a maid beside her, and she immediately turned and entered the inner room.

After a while, a two-year-old little girl in a white skirt ran out surrounded by maids. This was Zhong Mingrui's eldest daughter, Zhong Yinxue, who was crowned a princess by Yun Haoyu in less than a hundred days!

When Zhong Suying saw it, she immediately called out happily: "Yinxue, come to Auntie!"

When the little girl saw her, she cheered, and threw herself into her arms in three steps and two steps, acting coquettishly.

"Is this child almost two years old now?" Yun Haoyu asked with a smile, "Your Majesty is right, it will be two years old in more than three months!" The princess replied respectfully, "It's just that his personality is too naughty. It's not very similar to his father's personality, but more like her aunt!"

"It's normal for children to be naughty! I remember when I first saw her, she was just a little guy who was less than a hundred days old! Unexpectedly, she became so big in a blink of an eye!" Yun Haoyu looked at with a smile He glanced at her, "In two years, let her go to study with that child Qixuan! And her two younger brothers too, the royal population is sparse, so the Royal Academy for Children is now in name only. ! It’s not going to work like this!”

"Your Majesty's order, the concubine will naturally do it!" The princess replied with a smile.

Everyone chatted for a while, and the banquet was ready. Zhong Mingrui asked the emperor and empress to sit at the head of the table, and then he sat at the second seat. His sister sat opposite him, and the two concubines and Zhong Yinxue also accompanied him!

"Because things started in a hurry, so the preparations for the banquet were not well prepared, I hope Brother Huang is not to blame!" He said a little embarrassedly.

"It's okay, we're all a family, just be casual!" Yun Haoyu said nonchalantly.

All kinds of delicacies are served by well-trained maids like running water. Of course, they have been strictly inspected in advance. The accompanying palace guards strictly supervise and supervise the ingredients from the moment they enter the kitchen. It needs to be checked again, so there is basically no need to worry about safety issues.

"It doesn't look like a dish from the imperial court, does it? But it tastes really good!" Yun Haoyu asked in surprise after tasting a few mouthfuls of a dish in the shape of sea cucumber with jade pistil in front of him.

Zhong Mingrui said with a smile: "That's right, this is indeed not a recipe from the human world! It's from the Bojiang Empire! I have eaten it a few times and think it's very good, so this time I specially asked the emperor to try it too!"

"Well! Very good, the Bojiang family has a long history, and this food culture is not inferior to that of the ancient Huaguo in the earth age!" Yun Haoyu praised, "It seems that you will enjoy it!"

Zhong Mingrui looked at Fang Yuqing, and tentatively said: "If the emperor likes it, there are a few famous chefs from the Bojiang Empire here, you can take them back together! Then you can eat them every day!"

"Oh! That's a good idea!" Yun Haoyu thought for a while, and was about to agree, when Fang Yuqing said abruptly:

"Mingrui, I heard that you recently adopted two concubines, beauties from the Bojiang Empire. Why don't you let them come out to meet you today?"

"Ah! This..." The prince's face turned pale for a moment, and then returned to normal!

"Really? Is this really the case?" Yun Haoyu also became interested, "You boy, you are really lucky! If that's the case, please come out and meet me! After all, you are also a famous woman by your side, such The occasion, we should let them speak out!"

"...The younger brother is actually worried that they don't understand the etiquette of my Xinghui Empire, and neglected the emperor!" Zhong Mingrui smiled wryly, "But since you said so! My younger brother sent someone to invite them out!"

……

"This emperor is really afraid of death to such an extent! He can't even find the slightest chance!"

In the kitchen, the woman in the red dress had changed into a chef's attire and was busy surrounded by a group of assistants. At this moment, she had already scolded Yun Haoyu, who had never met before, in her heart.

Next to them, several palace guards stood like steel guns, staring at their every move with cold and sharp eyes, not letting go of any subtle link!

"It's impossible to continue like this. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to make a move in the future! Or simply... There will always be a little more chance of winning!" She began to think quickly again in her heart.
