In the Li Zheng Palace, Queen Changsun also heard from the eunuch that the prices of chickens, ducks and geese in Chang'an City have plummeted.
The common people now regard these poultry as their staple food, eating them every day and every meal.
It's not okay to eat these things every day.
Empress Changsun was also worried, so she wanted to find a solution to the emperor to see how this matter could be resolved as soon as possible.
Who knew that the emperor ran away to Wannian County.
Of course Empress Changsun knew that the methods to prevent and control the locust plague that the emperor mentioned in front of the officials actually came from Zhao Chen.
When the emperor went to Wannian County at this time, he naturally wanted to find Zhao Chen to find a solution.
However, with such a large number of chickens, ducks and geese, what method could Zhao Chen think of.
Furthermore, even if Zhao Chen had a way, he probably wouldn't be able to tell the emperor casually.
After all, the emperor himself did not do human affairs before and hid all Zhao Chen's achievements.
"Aunt, why don't we go to the village and have a look? That guy Zhao Chen is too much. He won't take me with him when he comes back!" Li Ruoshuang was a little emotional.
She actually just wanted to be by Zhao Chen's side.
I just said this to get Empress Changsun to agree to go there.
"You girl, just say it out loud that you miss Zhao Chen, why are you so sloppy with your aunt?" Empress Changsun took Li Ruoshuang's hand and walked out of the palace.
…
"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
As night fell, the emperor's stomach rumbled as he smelled the alluring fragrance.
The emperor ate some fruits that Li Ke secretly picked from Zhao Chen's yard all day today.
In addition, after running all the way, I helped Zhao Chen deal with the dozens of ducks.
This man is going to be starved.
"Boy Zhao, I'm hungry, I want to eat!" Old Li Tou and Zhao Chen shouted.
The villagers had dispersed long ago, so Old Li Tou naturally had no scruples.
Zhao Chen ignored him.
He was busy putting the separated parts of the duck into the prepared brine.
Soaking for about two hours can allow the duck neck to absorb enough flavor.
The time it takes to put it in the pot and cook it will be reduced a lot.
"Wu Jue, can you cook?" The emperor was really hungry and asked Wu Jue who was standing aside.
Wu Jue shook his head, how could she cook?
On weekdays at home, either Zhao Chen or Li Ruoshuang would cook it, and she would just wait to eat it.
Of course, she has to wash the dishes and chopsticks.
As for cooking...
"Father, we ate at the village chief uncle's house for lunch today. It tasted very good. How about we..."
"Let's go, let's go!" The emperor pulled Xiao Li Zhi away.
If Zhao Chen doesn't cook for himself, then he has to find his own way out?
"Father, wait for me!" Li Ke caught up from behind.
Several people left, but Zhao Chen seemed to have never seen them.
Wu Jue came to Zhao Chen and said: "Bao..."
"Bao sir!" Zhao Chen was so excited that the water ladle in his hand fell into the brine bucket.
"Hehe!" Wu Jue showed a proud smile.
"Let's go, I left something good for you!" Wu Jue took Zhao Chen's hand and walked towards the house.
At noon, the village chief's wife packed a lot of things for Wu Jue.
I even fried an extra piece of grass carp for her.
Let Wu Jue bring it back
He said that Zhao Chen would definitely not go to his house for dinner in the evening.
Prepare a dish for Zhao Chen so that Zhao Chen can cook less.
Of course Wu Jue accepted it without politeness.
But this dish is for Zhao Chen and cannot be eaten by others.
Well, not even the emperor can do it!
"Eating alone makes you fat!" Zhao Chen looked at the grass carp still exuding warmth and fragrance in the bowl, and patted Wu Jue on the shoulder with satisfaction.
Zhao Chen was very satisfied.
This is your own person.
You have to think about yourself.
That guy Lao Litou claimed that the method he told him to prevent the locust plague was his own, and now he is licking his face to come up with his own solution.
I still want to eat fish and dream about it!
There is also Li Ke, the "big filial son" who went to his yard to pick fruits while he was not at home.
I still want to eat fish. Do you want to eat a shit?
As for Xiao Li Zhi, well, he is still young and his throat can get stuck easily when eating fish.
Well, so you have to eat this fish by yourself.
"Xiao Wu performed very well today, come on, you can eat too!" Zhao Chen gave Wu Jue a large piece of fish and said.
"Yeah!" Wu Jue was very happy.
How long has she been following Zhao Chen?
This was really the first time she heard Zhao Chen praise herself.
When Zhao Chen saw himself before, his eyes would roll out of his head.
Wu Jue felt as if he had offended Zhao Chen in his previous life.
Until today…
"Zhao Chen, why did you hate me so much before?" Wu Jue asked casually while eating his meal.
Wu Jue himself was very confused.
She really couldn't figure it out. The first time she met Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen looked very surprised at her appearance.
As if he would do something particularly terrible.
Wu Jue wanted to find out.
What on earth made Zhao Chen treat him like that?
Hearing Wu Jue ask himself this, Zhao Chen was also stunned for a moment.
From the bottom of his heart, Zhao Chen now feels that Wu Jue is not as scary as he imagined.
Maybe it was because she was still young, or maybe it was just Wu Jue pretending to be well-behaved in front of him.
It's just undeniable that Zhao Chen's attitude towards Wu Jue is much better.
"Do you still remember Yuan Tiangang who told your fortune?" Zhao Chen put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked Wu Jue.
Wu Jue nodded.
How could she forget that guy.
The last time Yuan Tiangang saw him, he said that he had told his fortune when he was a child.
As for what he said at that time, Wu Jue was not sure.
"Yuan Tiangang once showed you your face. He said that you have the appearance of an emperor!" Zhao Chen said with a smile, looking at Wu Jue.
"How is that possible? Emperors are all men. I'm just a little girl!" Wu Jue was stunned for a moment, with a strange look on his face.
But his eyes dodge slightly, not daring to look directly into Zhao Chen's eyes.
"This is not important. What is important is that I will not let the throne of Old Li's family fall into the hands of others!"
"To tell you the truth, Old Li Tou is very good to me. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty is booming nowadays, and the people can't live and work in peace and contentment, but they won't have to leave their hometown."
"Whether it's for myself or anything else, I won't let what Yuan Tiangang said happen!"
"Understand?" Zhao Chen smiled.
Wu Jue didn't speak. She was wondering if Zhao Chen would kill her if that happened one day.
"Then, if that day comes, will you kill me?" Wu Jue looked at Zhao Chen with a faint look.
"I……"
"Hey, where is the person?" Before Zhao Chen could say anything, he heard the voice of Hongfunu coming from outside.
"Zhao Chen, your precious lady is here, why don't you come over and pick her up!" Hongfu Nu called again.
The dogs in the village started barking wildly.
Zhao Chen put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up. Before he could go out, he saw Empress Changsun, Li Ruoshuang, and Hong Funu walking into the courtyard together.
"Why are you here at this time?" Zhao Chen was a little surprised. He walked to the yard and took Li Ruoshuang's little hand.
"What are you doing? You won't even listen to me!" Li Ruoshuang muttered, pretending to be unhappy.
