Chapter 84 Easy to Fart
Emperor Yongshun carefully tore open the skin, and the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes came out. Emperor Yongshun took a deep breath and said, "What a delicious smell."
The third prince said, "Freshly baked ones are more fragrant."
Emperor Yongshun was about to put it in his mouth, but he saw Eunuch Mu staring at him and said unhappily, "You greedy glutton, do you want to try this too?"
Having said that, he still broke off a little bit with his hands and gave it to Eunuch Mu.
Eunuch Mu took it with both hands and said: "Your Majesty, it is my duty." Then he took a sip and swallowed it while still savoring the taste, mainly because there was too little of it.
Emperor Yongshun ignored him, turned sideways, and went to eat sweet potatoes away from Eunuch Mu's gaze.
It was also the first time that the Third Prince saw his father eating like this. He had no dining etiquette at all and it was as if he had not eaten for a long time. He finished the sweet potato in just a few bites, leaving the Third Prince dumbfounded.
Emperor Yongshun licked his fingers after eating the sweet potatoes: "Well, this roasted sweet potato is delicious, soft, sweet and filling, very suitable for the teeth of the elderly. Zhen'er, why don't you bring two more."
The third prince was almost speechless.
The Third Prince: "Father, Miss Zheng wants to keep it for seed."
Emperor Yongshun suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, yes! We still need to plant seeds, so we can eat them after the harvest."
The Third Prince: "Miss Zheng said that sweet potatoes are delicious, but they must be eaten in moderation, otherwise there will be a small disadvantage."
Emperor Yongshun frowned: "What are the drawbacks?"
The Third Prince: "Sweet potatoes can fill you up and be used as food. They are also good for your health, but you can't eat too much. Eating too much will cause you to fart."
Emperor Yongshun: "Fart, as long as the common people can have enough food to eat, what does it matter if they fart a little?
By the way, where did this sweet potato come from? Didn’t Zheng Sisi say she would go look for it? It seems that only her master has it, and she found it these few days.”
The Third Prince: "Father, it is like this..."
Then the third prince told Zheng Sisi how her master came last night and gave her a lot of seeds and gifts.
Emperor Yongshun pondered for a while before asking, "Zhen'er, do you think this is true?"
The Third Prince: "I have suspected it, but I have tested Miss Zheng and she doesn't have the kung fu. It would take time for her to put nearly a thousand pounds of things at the gate of the courtyard. Where did she get the other things? And the two maids I sent last night didn't hear any movement. Apart from her mysterious master, I can't think of anyone who has such ability."
Emperor Yongshun stroked his beard with his hand and asked: "What about her master? Have you met him?"
The Third Prince shook his head. “Ye Hu reported that he only saw some things outside the courtyard. He left a letter saying that he went overseas with a friend and would need four or five years to come back. He gave all his belongings to his apprentice.”
Emperor Yongshun: "So there really is such a person."
Emperor Yongshun raised his head and said, "Xiaomu, go to the door and keep an eye on it."
Eunuch Mu nodded and walked out. He knew there were some things he couldn't listen to.
After Eunuch Mu left, Emperor Yongshun said, "Zhen'er, you must protect Zheng Sisi. Last time I went to pray, Master Fakong said that Dai Viet's national fortune was on the rise, and it was a woman who brought the good fortune. Master Fakong also said that the height that Dai Viet could reach was determined by the attitude of the royal family. If you want Dai Viet to prosper and be stronger than other countries, you must protect and treat Zheng Sisi well.
Last time I asked you to protect her, but I didn't expect you to arrange for Ye Hu to be involved. You did the right thing. Judging from her performance in the past few days, she has indeed done a lot of outstanding things. Her safety must not be neglected. "
The Third Prince cupped his hands and said, "I understand."
Then the third prince reported to the emperor how Zheng Sisi germinated the potatoes, how she prepared the land, how she made artificial fertilizer, and how she soaked the seeds.
Emperor Yongshun was amazed when he heard this.
