Chapter 152
Long Chenxiu granted Hao Chi permission to leave the palace to open a restaurant, but he didn't expect that she had other requests, which made him very curious, "Tell me, I'll listen first."

Hao Chi didn't say his request directly, but glanced at the plate of fried locusts, "Your Majesty, what do you think the fried locusts taste like?"

"The taste is not bad!" Long Chenxiu said very conservatively, but in fact, what he thought in his heart was: Unexpectedly, insects can be made into delicious food.

But this comment was enough for Hao Chi, she curled her lips into a smile, "Then do you think other people, especially those ministers, would like to eat it? Can you come and patronize my newly opened restaurant?"

Long Chenxiu thought for a while, "Well, most people should like it. But I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for them to patronize."

Because there are countless famous restaurants in the capital, Hao Chi's newly opened restaurant may not catch their eyes.He can't just tell everyone that the restaurant is run by the imperial concubine, can he?

"Then what if this dish is recommended by the emperor himself, and the name of the dish is given by the emperor?"

As soon as Hao Chi's words came out, Long Chenxiu's heart was shocked.the idea.
Long Chenxiu had been educated by the emperor since he was a child, so he naturally guessed the minds of those courtiers very thoroughly.If we follow what Hao Chi said, I am afraid that there are not many ministers in the entire court who will not patronize the restaurant, right?
but
"It's delicious. Will it be suspected of luring the courtiers to please me?"

Hao Chi curled his lips when he heard this, and said in a strange voice: "Don't worry, even if you don't do these things, the ministers will always flatter you. If that's the case, you're not bad this time. Save your ministers who have to think hard all day about how to please you, let them save their energy and work for the welfare of the people."

Hao Chi's words sounded a little absurd at first, but after careful consideration, Long Chenxiu's heart was startled, as if enlightened.

Isn't it, just like what she said, when the ministers face themselves every day, they are all trembling, and they can't wait to turn eighteen turns in their minds before speaking.I kept speculating about my own thoughts and preferences, for fear that one bad thing would annoy myself.

Long Chenxiu thought that since he became the throne, he had never had any place where the courtiers could do what they liked, and his back felt a little chilly.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples.When the emperor cannot be completely pure-hearted and ascetic, it will not only make the courtiers feel that he is superior, but more importantly, they will become uncertain because they cannot find a breakthrough to get close to the emperor.

"An emperor can't just rely on his majesty to sit firmly. How to win the hearts of his subjects and appease the hearts of the people is very important!"

Long Chenxiu thought that a grand tutor once taught him this way, but he didn't have a specific method.Over the years, he felt that this sentence was very reasonable, and worked hard to be fair and strict in order to achieve this goal.

However, Hao Chi's few words today were like enlightenment, making him realize his mistake in an instant.

The more just and strict he is, the more the courtiers are afraid of him, and even feel uneasy all day long, for fear that if they accidentally do something wrong, they will end up miserable.

Just like what Hao Chi said, wouldn't it be better if they used these careful and constant thoughts on him to do practical things for the well-being of the people.

Having figured this out in an instant, Long Chenxiu looked at Hao Chi with a little more fiery eyes, and his love for her grew even stronger.

In this life, he is lucky enough to meet this woman, and he will never let go!
The look in Long Chenxiu's eyes made Hao Chi inexplicably feel a little blushing, so she lowered her head slightly, and asked pretendingly, "Ahem, Your Majesty, do you agree to help me recommend this dish among the ministers?" what?"

"Agreed! Such a good idea, of course I agree!" Long Chenxiu said leisurely, the smile on his face was unprecedentedly bright.

The next day, which happened to be the morning of the court, all the ministers were divided into two shifts, quietly waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

However, they didn't expect that after the emperor arrived, he didn't talk about state affairs, but distributed a pair of chopsticks to each of them first, and they were all stunned immediately.
