Chapter 366 This time I am sincerely convinced
Yueying said bluntly: "You should be thankful that you have a filial son. He has an army to protect himself and deal with foreign enemies. He has never thought of dealing with you. Even if you suppress him, take away his military power, and disband his Yulin Army, he has never thought of dealing with you!"
The old emperor turned and looked towards the coast of the Western Regions. He was lost in thought for a long time, and finally murmured, "Perhaps I am really wrong!"
Yueying encouraged him, "If the emperor wants to personally explore the coast of the Western Regions, it won't be difficult to find out the truth! It just so happens that the princess has a pair of skillful hands. The makeup she puts on makes the Western Regions people look so realistic that even the Western Regions people can't tell!"
"Is she really that powerful?"
"Don't you know how powerful she is? You just don't dare to admit it in your heart! The princess is a good person and will not pose any threat to you!" Yueying said all the way.
"If she is really that powerful, I can ask her to take me to visit the coast of the Western Region!"
The old emperor lowered his eyes and thought for a while. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "How do we get back? The banquet has started, right? Yu Jiuer has been preparing food early in the morning. I can't miss it!"
Yueying looked down at her feet and said, "Let's go back! It takes half a day to ride a horse from here to the county, and at least one or two days to walk. Or we can wait here for your shadow guard to come and find you, but we haven't prepared any food..."
Before Yueying could finish, the old emperor asked hurriedly, "Can't you fly back with a paraglider?"
"The wind is blowing in the wrong direction! It's easy to come here but hard to go back!"
"No! I have to go back and enjoy the food! You dragged me here, you have to find a way to make me fly back!"
The old emperor was being shameless again. Yueying looked up at the tallest building in the palace and said calmly, "Let's climb to the top of that building. If we are lucky and the wind blows towards Yinshan County, Yueying can take you back! If the wind direction does not change, we can only wait for your shadow guards to come and find you. It depends on whether God can help you!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go upstairs first. My legs are precious and I will never use them to walk on the mountain road." The old emperor was the first to step onto the stairs.
Yueying raised the corners of her lips and came to Yinshan County. I hope your legs will always be as precious as ever!
With the princess around, you won’t be slapped in the face for long!
The two were lucky. Not long after they waited, the wind direction suddenly changed. Yueying immediately took the old emperor back to Yinshan County.
It was already evening when we returned to the mansion, and the banquet had already begun.
The people were happily walking around with their bowls in their hands, the children were running around excitedly, and even Jing'er, who was always reserved and steady, happily joined in and ran with them. The whole county was boiling with excitement.
Everywhere there was a happy scene with laughter.
The old emperor was very hungry, so he took the initiative to adapt to the local customs and hurried out with his bowl to look for food.
The people come from the countryside but are polite in their manners. When they encounter delicious food, they are all polite and humble.
The old emperor, on the other hand, seemed to have never eaten such delicious food before. He ignored the queues of people and directly squeezed to the front to grab the food, showing his domineering aura to the fullest. The people knew that he was the adoptive father of Prince Jing, so they all gave in to him.
But Yu Jiuer couldn't bear to see it, so she went over and patted his shoulder to remind him: "Old man, don't you want to save face?"
The old emperor stuffed his mouth full, puffed up his cheeks and whispered to her: "I'm almost fainting from hunger, why should I care about face? What's more, I'm the prince's adoptive father now, and it's not the real me who is embarrassed anyway!"
The old emperor found a reasonable excuse for himself and continued to build.
Yueying coughed twice, stretched out her hand to press the old emperor's arm, and advised: "Master, you'd better put down this roast chicken! Everyone should abide by etiquette and only tear off a small piece to taste. You should take it easy. The prince's adoptive father still represents the face of the royal family!"
The old emperor had to put down the whole roast chicken he had just obtained and muttered, "Give Yueying some face and don't eat it for the time being!"
The six female killers following Yueying were extremely shocked when they saw this, and looked at Yueying with admiration in their eyes.
Yingyi asked Yueying quietly, "Boss, have you cleansed the emperor's brain? In just one day, he has really become convinced by you? This is really impressive!"
Ying Er asked curiously, "Is the emperor crazy? You didn't let him dry his head before bringing him back? Otherwise, how could he listen to you so much?
If I had said that to him, he would have dropped a whole roast chicken on my head!"
Yu Jiuer said to them with a proud look on her face: "Now you know what brains are, right? Yueying is very smart. However, the competition has not started yet, so I understand that you are not convinced by her. She will shock you even more later!"
"Chief, I was wrong! I surrender!" Yingliu was the first to apologize.
The others also said, "No need to fight. From now on, Yueying will be our coach. We are happy to follow her orders! We obey her!"
Yueying smiled faintly and said, "The master is a person with great ambitions. We are lucky to be able to follow her. We should unite and serve her well!"
"Yes!" the six people said in unison, this time they were sincerely convinced.
The old emperor saw more and more people crowding towards the gate of the palace, and he could no longer bring himself to snatch food from them, so he walked towards the door of the people's home.
Yu Jiuer, Jun Mo and others followed behind him and served him.
In early spring in March, the weather is still chilly and cold. In order to prevent the dishes left at the door from getting cold, many people either put the dishes next to the stove to warm them, or simply put fresh vegetables and raw meat slices on them, and put a spicy hot pot base on the stove so that people can eat the hot food after just dipping it in the hot pot.
The old emperor stared blankly at the raw food in front of him, with the same expression as when Jun Mo first ate hot pot, and asked in surprise: "Why is this restaurant displaying raw food? Don't you want people to eat it?"
Jun Mo explained to him patiently.
After hearing this, the old emperor was already drooling because the aroma of the hot pot was so tempting.
The people had already prepared mutton for the old emperor and respectfully placed it in his bowl.
He took a bite, his eyes lit up, and he praised, "Delicious! I didn't expect it to be so simple to make, and yet taste so good! You actually know how to eat it in such a convenient and practical way, it's amazing!"
The common people laughed and replied, "These are just some tricks taught by our county magistrate. She knows a lot more! She originally wanted to hold a food festival in the county. If she had, I'm afraid the county would be overcrowded now!"
The old emperor cast a complicated glance at Yu Jiuer and then walked to the next house.
After eating the food of three or four families, the old emperor couldn't help asking: "Why are the dishes in every household so rich? Are the people in Yinshan really so rich? Are you guys lying again to fool me?"
"Master, you are of no use now. It's not worth it to make such a big fuss to cheat you!" Yu Jiuer did not give him face as usual.
But this time, the old emperor did not retort to her.
Ever since he and Yueying came back from their trip to the White Jade Palace, he no longer disliked Yu Jiuer as much, and seemed to like her much more.
After walking two more houses, the old emperor suddenly realized something was wrong and asked, "Why do every household have green vegetables at this time of year? Isn't this thing in great demand now?"
"This is all thanks to my extremely smart female county magistrate, Dad. She built a greenhouse so we can eat fresh vegetables even on snowy days." Jun Mo took Yu Jiuer's hand, his eyes full of pride.
The old emperor puffed his cheeks and said, "Let's go check out your greenhouse!"
When the group arrived at the greenhouse, they happened to see Concubine Duan and the First Lady exchanging experiences in growing vegetables.
Concubine Duan's hands, shoes, and dress were all covered in mud. The old emperor's eyes widened: "Are you sure it's Rong Yun's proud daughter, Mo'er's mother?"
Concubine Duan rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's the truth! Master, you should learn to adapt to local customs! Look at these tempting fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse. The taste will be very different if you grow them yourself!"
The emperor stood there for a long time to digest the news before finally coming back to his senses. He turned to Yu Jiuer and said, "Yu Jiuer, since you are so capable, I plan to go to the coast of the Western Regions for a stroll. You can arrange it!"
