Zhao Bing packed up and returned to the back hall with Wu Xi. As long as he didn't go to the court, he was still wearing a loose old robe. The cuffs were changed to arrow sleeves to prevent the wide sleeves from being dragged like brooms. However, the bright red color had become dull after several washings, and there was only a cowhide belt around his waist. Patent leather had fallen off some areas on it, and a white jade ring was hanging on it.

At the beginning, he thought that a bunch of messy jade pendants, jade rings, fish bags and other things were hung on his waist to show his identity and wealth. Later, he learned that the original function of these things was to suppress the robe so as not to burst out in spring. However, he insisted on hanging only one jade ring to avoid jingling when walking. There was only a small golden crown on his head, a white jade hairpin tied his hair, and a pair of soapy low-waisted cloth boots under his feet.

Zhao Bing's outfit is much inferior to those young men who are in the family. Now he stands with Wu Xi in a very well-dressed manner like a poor boy. However, he is nearly six feet tall, often practices martial arts, has a well-proportioned figure, and has a bee waist and a back. If it weren't for the tanning on his face, he would be considered a handsome young man. Even though he was wearing old clothes, he still had a faint sense of being arrogant without anger.

"Please have a meal for the official family!" The eunuchs and palace maids who often accompany him were no longer surprised. They immediately ordered the meal to be passed on. Not long after, the little yellow gate came in with a food box and placed the meals on a few.

"Is this the only breakfast in the official family?" Wu Xi looked at the table. There was only a plate of pickled vegetables, a plate of fried fish and crust eggs, a bowl of porridge and two cooked pancakes. The same was true in front of her. She already knew that the emperor had always lived a simple life, and she couldn't help asking when she saw such a simple breakfast.

"Greeting on the queen, if the cakes are not enough, you can add them!" Xiaohuangmen hurriedly replied.

"Let's have a meal. This fish is also the first selected fresh fish of the Zheng tribe in Qiongzhou. It was sent to the palace from thousands of miles away. This fish is rich in fat and fried with oil and is crispy and delicious!" Zhao Bing was stunned when he saw Wu Xi still being stunned, and frying the fish with chopsticks.

"Then let me serve the officials and have meals!" Wu Xi nodded, still a little afraid of the dried fish in the plate, and said.

"I have hands and feet, can I still serve you for a meal? The queen is fine, don't worry about me!" Zhao Bing said as he picked up an egg and rubbed it on a few, then peeled off the cracked shell in two strokes, and then took a pancake from it, put it in it, grabbed the egg in it, ate it in big mouthfuls, and occasionally used chopsticks to pickle vegetables to serve the flavor.

"Empress, please wait for the meal!" Seeing the emperor put a pancake with eggs into his stomach in a few bites, he took another pancake and fryed fish and started eating. He didn't need a spoon to drink porridge, but he picked up the bowl and drank it. His eating look was like he had been hungry for many days. His rough eating look not only stunned Wu Xi, but also the maid behind him woke up for a while and remembered his responsibilities.

"Oh, no need!" Wu Xi then remembered that Su Lan had just said that the emperor had no need to serve him since he was a child, and everything was taken care of by himself. It was not easy to serve him at the moment. He waved his hand and took a pancake and started eating.

"Let you hurry up, just be slow all the way. Look, it's all delayed now!" One of the two men was Feng Juan Canyun, and the other was chewing slowly. When they were silently busying themselves, they heard the scolding sounds, and one person rushed into the back hall, followed by a small yellow door carrying a food box.

"See the Queen!" Chen Shu entered the back hall and was surprised to see the Queen here. After hesitating for a while, he quickly saluted.

"Don't give me a gift, have the imperial concubine eaten?" Wu Xi said.

"Go back to the queen, not yet!" Chen Shu sat down and reported.

"Why did you come so early?" Zhao Bing asked in confusion as he chewed something in his mouth.

"Have you forgotten the official family? We had agreed yesterday that we would go to my place to have meals in the palace. In the morning, I didn't see the official family coming, but I forgot it, so I sent it to the official family, but it was still too late!" Chen Shu said half wronged and half complained.

"Oh, I must have drunk a little too much last night. I'm so sorry for forgetting about this!" Zhao Bing recalled for a moment, patted his forehead and said with a smirk.

"Hmph, I know that. Don't use these anymore. Try what I prepared, it's not early morning!" Chen Shu snorted, grabbed half of the cooked cake left in the emperor's hand, and took the food box from the palace maid who was accompanying him, and took out the things inside one by one.

"Chicken soup wonton, mutton steamed buns, and this bee candy cake... are all my favorites, but these...!" Looking at the few meals that Chen Shu brought out, rubbed her hands and swallowed her mouth and felt embarrassed.

"I know, I know, every grain is hard-working!" Chen Shu said, taking half a bowl of porridge and half a pancake left by the emperor to himself, pushing wontons and mutton steamed buns into the middle of the table and said, "I have eaten these for the officials, and these officials and queens can't be left!"

"No need, I'm enough of these!" Wu Xi saw that Chen Shu took the remaining half of the steamed buns from the emperor without any disdain and started eating them. He saw that there were still many left in front of him, shook his head and said.

"Since that's the case, I'm not polite, but I'm afraid I can't eat so much!" Zhao Bing licked his lips, but he peeled the remaining eggs and put them on the plate beside Chen Shu before he picked up a steamed bun.

"The official family has just eaten a pancake and drank half a bowl of porridge. How can you not eat this little thing? The pastries can be kept for the official family to satisfy their hunger at night!" Chen Shu took the egg without hesitation and said, "

"The government has eaten a lot, how can we still eat so much? Don't force it!" Wu Xi looked at the emperor with a large bowl of wontons and five mutton steamed buns, and was also a little worried.

"The queen doesn't know that the official family has a lot of food. She can eat three or four of these kinds of cakes, and she will be hungry in a while!" Chen Shu waved her hand and said.

"Is that true?" Wu Xi said a little depressed when she heard this. As the queen, she didn't even know how much the emperor had to eat. She was really a bit dereliction of duty.

"Of course!" Chen Shu didn't notice the queen's expression, and continued, "Speaking of this, it was ten years ago. I followed my father to Yashan to protect the carriage and lived on the imperial boat that the official family rode. I think that at that time, nearly 300,000 soldiers and civilians were hiding in that bay. There were Tartars around, and it was difficult to raise food, let alone meat and vegetables. The Queen Mother felt sorry for the official family. There were still some meat and vegetables in the daily cases, but the official family gave the injured soldiers to eat, rice, dried fish and wild vegetables that were eaten by the soldiers!"

"Dried fish? Is this dried fish very precious?" Wu Xi asked after hearing this, pointing at the fried dried fish on the table.

"The official must be fooling the queen again!" Chen Shu picked up a piece of dried fish and looked at it, "When this kind of fish was in Qiongzhou, it could buy a large basket of fish for ten cents, and it was even less valuable after drying it. Only poor families would use it to serve them!"

"Ah..." Wu Xi opened his mouth wide and looked at the emperor who was burying his head and didn't know what to say.

"But when he was in Yashan, this dried fish was also a rare thing." Chen Shu put the dried fish in his mouth and chewed it. "The official family liked to eat when he was a child. He was as fat as a ball, and he became hungry without waiting for meals every day. He would go to the fire army on the imperial boat to ask for some stored dried fish and dried fish, hide it in his arms or sleeves, and secretly take two pieces to eat when he is hungry. Thinking about it, I was not sensible at that time, and often led a group of children living on the imperial boat to 'rob' the official family and rob his dried fish. The official family has a good temper and never gets angry about it. They will deliberately give us more food!"

"That's because I'm too fat, I can't run away from you or beat you, so I can only coax you!" Zhao Bing interrupted with the oil on his mouth.

"Haha, the government is the best at fooling people." Chen Shu said with a smug smile, "The queen doesn't know anything. The government has been fooling people since she was a child. You must be careful, otherwise it will be unknown if you sell it!"

"Is that so? How could the official family... lie?" Chen Shu spoke in front of the emperor without restraint, but she was not angry, which made Wu Xi envious and jealous, so she tentatively said.

"The official family is the best at lying people." Chen Shu said to the emperor with a blank look. "At that time, in Yazhou, the queen didn't know how dangerous the situation was. Not only was the Mongolian Yuan pressing step by step, but there were also people in the court who were dissatisfied with the official's succession. A large number of warships were arranged around the imperial boats, and there were only thousands of people in the general's office. However, the official family was able to come and go freely on a small boat, and the officers and soldiers who monitored him were subdued by the official family."

"The official family is unparalleled and righteous, so it will naturally make the army surrender!" Wu Xi did not understand the reason, so she could only follow the story. She also wanted to understand what kind of person the official family was as soon as possible.

"It's up to this!" Chen Dun picked up a fish road again, "Of course it's not these little fish, but giant whales in the sea."

"Giant Whale?! I have read from the book that the giant whale is shaped like a hill, which can overturn the rivers and devour ships. Can the official tame the giant whale?" Wu Xi was even more surprised when she heard this. In her impression, the giant whale could be said to be a terrible monster, but it was used by the emperor. How could this be possible?

"Yes, there are less and less food in Yashan, and we are facing the danger of food being cut off, let alone eating meat. But the official family led a warship to catch a giant whale, slaughtered it, and distributed it to the military and civilians evenly for food, even the important officials in the court were no exception. I still remember that night, the whole bay had the smell of boiled meat, and people were happier than the festival." Chen Shu looked at the little emperor, as if the scene of the day appeared in front of her, "After that, no one stopped the official family when she sailed again, but she hoped that the official family could bring back a giant whale. The official family did not disappoint everyone. Almost every time she went out, she would drag a giant whale back!"

"After that, even the warships monitoring the official family no longer followed him, but I hoped to get one more share and gradually became a member of the official family. After returning from Yashan, I learned from my father that the official family did take advantage of the opportunity to hunt whales to solve the problem of eating, but also won the support of the army. However, the official family had already expected a battle with Zhang Hongfan, and in fact he took the opportunity to survey the terrain and hydrology in order to prepare. As expected, when the two armies were fighting, the Xingchao army was defeated, but the official family led 10,000 guards to turn the tide and defeated the Mongolian Yuan navy with the tide of Yashan, which even angered Zhang Hongfan to death!"

"Is Zhang Hongfan so angry? Didn't Meng Yuan say he died of hard fighting?" Wu Xi asked in surprise at this moment than hearing the Emperor killing the giant whale.

"The Tartars were just for the sake of face. Zhang Hongfan was actually crazy by the official's words and he committed suicide by killing himself with a knife. This is what I saw with my own eyes, and that's fake. The knife hung in the official's house was Zhang Hongfan. His armor was given to Brother Ni to reward him for beheading his brother Zhang Hongzheng, and he wanted to say that he was killed immediately and died." Chen Shu guaranteed as an eyewitness.

"Isn't you afraid when I witnessed it with my own eyes?" Wu Xi asked in a trembling voice. She felt very uncomfortable at this moment. She thought that Chen Shu had experienced life and death with the emperor and formed a deep friendship. She could also joking with the emperor, and she could eat the remaining meals of the official family without hesitation, but asked herself that she felt that she could not do it at all.

"I was afraid at first, but I was not afraid later. That day, dark clouds covered the sun, dark waves were surging, hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of warships fought, and tens of thousands of corpses floated in the bay of Yashan Mountain, dyeing the sea water pink. But thinking that the official family was also on the boat, it would not be unfair to die with His Majesty, so I was not afraid!" Chen Shuyan said.

"Uh... I'm holding on. The imperial concubine can't deliver food again in the future, otherwise she will become fat again!" At this time, Zhao Bing burped invisibly and rubbed her stomach and said.

"No, even if the official family is fat, I will not be able to show that the official family is so harsh every day!" Chen Shu heard this but said sternly.

"Okay, I'm afraid of you, you guys should eat as well. I'll go out for a walk and digest food!" Zhao Bing looked like he couldn't afford to mess with him and could not hide. He stood up and said that, and then went out.

"It seems that the official family is very afraid of the imperial concubine, and he scared him away with just one word!" Wu Xi said as he looked at the emperor's back. Now the emperor's performance has once again subverted his cognitive image of the emperor, which is different from the emperor recorded in historical books.

"The official family was able to lead the army into and out of the enemy's camp at a young age, so how could he be afraid of me? He was just kind and gave in to me!" Chen Shu sighed lightly after hearing this, "Can the queen know why the food eaten by the official family is so vulgar? Can a few mutton steamed buns make him happy?"

"I am also trying to ask the imperial concubine, the emperor is the emperor and the world is rich, but why is he so frugal? Even if he eats better, how much money can he spend!" Wu Xi frowned and said.
