?When the emperor and his party entered the main hall of the royal palace, the two princesses were already waiting here, and then Zhong Mingrui hurriedly came out.

"Your Majesty, why are you here in person today?" the prince said with a nervous look on his face.

"I heard that you applied for a sick leave because of your health a few days ago!" Yun Haoyu said with a smile.

"I've been out for a while and I only learned about this yesterday! I happened to have free time today at noon, so I came here to see you. I guess I didn't disturb your vacation, right?"

"Where is it, Your Majesty is joking! But why don't you say hello in advance, I'm ready. Now that I'm so hasty, it's inevitable that there are some places where the hospitality is not good, I'm afraid that your Majesty will be neglected!" Zhong Mingrui said with a smile.

"Brother, why should you be so polite?" Yun Haoyu smiled disapprovingly, "I'm here this time, just talk about family matters and not state affairs! I'll have a meal by the way. I think you won't mind coming?"

Princess Zhao Wanqin hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, let's sit down for now, I'm ready immediately!"

As he said that, he respectfully welcomed the emperor and the empress into the highest-standard living room. When he entered the door, Zhong Huiying turned her head and glared at her brother fiercely, without saying anything.

Zhong Mingrui raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the queen beside him. Fang Yuqing looked calm and her beautiful eyes turned on him, and then fell to the eunuchs present. Although she had never said a few words from beginning to end, the prince felt a faint pressure!

After Yun Haoyu sat down, the maid immediately brought tea and snacks. Two palace guards came over to check before he could make His Majesty speak.

He sighed with some depression: "Isn't this elsewhere? Is it so troublesome to use it?"

Fang Yuqing smiled faintly and said, "The system is like this! Why is Your Majesty unhappy? I think His Highness the Prince won't mind either, right?"

Zhong Mingrui said he didn't dare, and the invisible pressure became stronger without realizing it! It made him feel more and more nervous! His Majesty's sudden visit caught him off guard, and he couldn't even think of how to deal with it for a while!

If it were just His Majesty, he wouldn't be afraid. After all, the other party was his brother. When we were together in the past, because we were open and selfless, we naturally talked about everything and would not feel restrained!

But since his mentality changed, he could no longer face his brother calmly like before! What's more, the smart and powerful queen is present now, which makes it even more difficult for him to feel at ease!

Fortunately, my sister is there, so the scene is not too subtle and tense. The relationship between the two princesses and Zhong Weiying has always been good, so the atmosphere is harmonious.

Yun Haoyu tasted a few sips of tea and asked casually: "I heard that you were not feeling well, so I took a leave! I wonder what the reason is? Is there still a disease that cannot be cured with the current level of imperial technology? Is there something hidden? "

"This..." Zhong Mingrui's expression changed slightly, and he smiled unnaturally:

"Actually, there is no big problem. I've been busy handling official business every day in recent years, and my health is a little overwhelmed! So I just want to steal a few days of laziness! It makes the emperor laugh!"

"Is that true?" Yun Haoyu looked at him a few times, pondered for a moment, nodded slightly and said:

"That's true! As the Prime Minister of the Empire and the Prime Minister of the Dynasty, you have to count on you in all matters of China! Especially now, the territory of the empire is getting bigger and bigger, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation of more than ten trillion people is indeed an unimaginable burden! In addition, the star sea has not yet been unified, and the national economy is still in a wartime state, and all kinds of things are all over the place! It is really difficult for you to straighten out such a big stall!"

"In the past few years, you haven't really had any vacations? I've really neglected and ignored your feelings!"

"For the great cause of empire unification, it is necessary to endure some hardships! Don't worry, I will finish the family matters in the past two days and I will start working again!" Zhong Mingrui hurriedly promised.

Fang Yuqing smiled and said, "Actually, Your Majesty's words are right! Now that the empire is getting bigger and bigger, there are indeed too many things to deal with! Even if I review official documents and memorials every day, I am very tired! Even if there is a team of wise men to help with the handling, I have to work hard for about ten hours a day to solve it!"

"There are also the chief officials of major departments of the empire below. Life is not easy now. Some important official documents are often delayed for several days and cannot be processed in time! And there are several elderly old ministers who have been unable to bear it and have already submitted their resignation to me a few days ago!"

"So, I'm wondering if I should think of some way to make the burden on my ministers easier!"

"Well! That's the same reason!" Yun Haoyu pondered, "I wonder if you have any suitable idea?"

"It's not simple? Just add some more people!" The queen stared at the prince with a meaningful look.

"Appoint more deputy positions for those department heads to share some things! This will ensure efficiency! Especially the Prime Minister of the Empire is busy with all kinds of troubles, and it is indeed a bit harder! Why not... just add a few assistants?"

Yun Haoyu's eyes closed slightly, he thought for a while, then looked at Zhong Mingrui and said, "This method is reasonable, I wonder... Mingrui, what do you think?"

The prince pursed his lips and said calmly: "What the queen said is very reasonable! I have no objection!"

"Well! Let's just do this for now! You will be responsible for making a detailed charter, and then the ministers will decide after they discuss it!" Yun Haoyu said with satisfaction.

Zhong Xuying looked at him with a little complaint and said, "Your Majesty, you said that you won't talk about business today! Why did you forget your words in a blink of an eye?"

"Uh...this! Okay, I really broke my promise!" Yun Haoyu smiled awkwardly.

She snorted and said to Zhao Wanqin: "Sister, how is that child Yinxue recently? I haven't seen him for a while, but I miss her a little!"

The princess hurriedly said, "Sister, don't be surprised. This child is a little restless, so she didn't let her come out to cause trouble. Since you said something, I'll carry her to show you!"

As she said that, she winked at a maid beside her, and she immediately turned around and entered the inner room.

After a while, a little girl in a white dress, about two years old, ran out surrounded by maids. This is Zhong Mingrui's eldest daughter, Zhong Yinxue, who was named princess by Yun Haoyu less than a hundred days after she was born!

When Zhong Xuying saw this, he immediately called happily: "Yingxue, come to my aunt!"

When the little girl saw that it was her, she cheered and threw herself into her arms in three steps and two steps, acting cute.

"This child is almost two years old now, right?" Yun Haoyu asked with a smile.

"What Your Majesty said is not bad, it's still more than three months away and it's two years old!" The princess replied respectfully,

"It's just that his personality is too naughty. He doesn't look very similar to his father's personality, but he's more like her aunt!"

"It is normal for a child to be naughty! I remember when I first met her, she was just a little guy for less than a hundred days! I didn't expect that it was so big in the blink of an eye!" Yun Haoyu looked at her with a smile.

"In another two years, let her go and study with Qixuan, that child! And her two younger brothers are also there. The royal family is rare, so this Royal Children's College is now in name only! It won't work if this continues!"

"I will do what Your Majesty ordered!" the princess replied with a smile.

Everyone talked for a while and the banquet was ready. Zhong Mingrui invited the emperor and empress to sit in the chief, and then sat in the second seat by himself. The sister sat opposite him, and the two concubines and Zhong Yinxue were also accompanying each other!

"Because the matter was rushed, the banquet was so bad. I hope the emperor will not blame him!" He said a little embarrassedly.

"It's okay, it's all a family, just be more casual!" Yun Haoyu said uneasy.

All kinds of delicacies were served by well-trained maids like flowing water. Of course, they all went through strict inspections in advance. The accompanying palace guards strictly monitored the ingredients from the time they entered the kitchen. After cooking, they had to check it once before serving, so there was basically no need to worry about safety issues.

"It doesn't seem to be a dish from the Imperial Palace? But it tastes really good!" Yun Haoyu tasted a few mouthfuls of a dish that looked like a sea cucumber in front of him and asked in surprise.

Zhong Mingrui smiled and said, "Yes, this is indeed not a recipe from the human world! It is passed down from the Bojiang Empire! I have eaten it several times and thought it is very good, so this time I specially asked the emperor to come and try it out!"

"Well! Very good. The Bojiang clan has a long history. This food culture is no less than that of the ancient Chinese country in the Earth era!" Yun Haoyu exclaimed, "It seems that you will enjoy it!"

Zhong Mingrui looked at Fang Yuqing and tentatively said, "If the emperor likes it, I will have a few famous chefs from the Bojiang Empire here, so you can take them back together! This way you can eat them every day!"

"Oh! This is a good idea!" Yun Haoyu thought for a while and was about to agree, Fang Yuqing suddenly said to her:

"Mingrui, I heard that you have recently taken two new concubines, and they are beauties from the Bojiang Empire. Why don't they come out to meet today?"

"Ah! This..." The prince's face turned pale in an instant, and then he returned to normal again!

"Is that true? Is this really the case?" Yun Haoyu also became interested.

"You kid are so lucky! Since that's the case, please come out and meet! It's always a famous woman around you. In such an occasion, they should be asked to come out and talk!"

"... I am actually worried that they don't understand the etiquette of my Starlight Empire and neglect the emperor's brother!" Zhong Mingrui said with a wry smile.

"But since you said that, I will send someone to invite them out!"

...

"This emperor is really afraid of death and is so scared! He can't find any chance!"

In the kitchen, the woman in red dress had already changed into a chef's outfit and was busy surrounded by a group of assistants. At this time, she had already cursed Yun Haoyu, whom she had never met before.

Next to them, several palace guards stood like steel guns, staring at their every move with cold and sharp eyes, not missing any subtle links!

"It won't be possible to continue like this. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to start in the future! Or maybe... I think there will always be more chances of winning!" She began to think quickly in her heart.
