Before Yue Fuguang could say a word, Qian Gui smiled and said, "Your Excellency, the Junior Grand Tutor, did you sleep well? There is still half a cup of tea's time before the court session. Would you like to move there?"

Yue Fuguang nodded and let Qian Gui help her get off the carriage.

Once she got off, Yue Fuguang realized her current location. It was right behind the Golden Hall where the court sessions were held. Qian Gui led her and they walked only a few dozen meters before entering the main hall through the side door.

Qian Gui pointed to a seat with a table below the dragon throne and said to her, "Your Excellency, the Junior Grand Tutor, this is your seat. You can sit here during the court session."

He clapped his hands gently, and two maids and eunuchs brought fruits, pastries, and some delicate breakfast items and placed them one by one on the table in front of her.

Qian Gui began to curry favor with his Majesty on behalf of the emperor. "Your Excellency, the Junior Grand Tutor, all these were specially prepared for you by His Majesty.

See if these suit your taste? His Majesty also asked this old servant to inquire if you have any preferences in your daily diet, or if there is anything special you like to eat. This old servant will have the imperial kitchen prepare them for you."

On the surface, Yue Fuguang thanked Eunuch Qian and Emperor Mingxi, but in her heart, she started chatting with the system. She said, "Little Pearl, this emperor seems quite good so far. He's quite thoughtful."

The system agreed. "In the mortal world, he's okay. It's just that the ingredients here are too scarce. Not only are there many things that haven't been discovered yet, but the seasonings are also very scarce. There are only a few kinds in total, and some of them are in the pharmacy. They don't even know that those are excellent seasonings."

"Indeed. If the ingredients and seasonings were complete, the imperial chefs in the palace, although they couldn't compare to those in the immortal realm, should be able to cook better than what we ate in modern times.

By the way, do you have the seeds of fruits, vegetables, and spices with you?"

The system said, "Let me look... Yes, there are only a few dozen kinds of fruit and vegetable seeds that you like. The quantity is not large, but it's enough for you to plant and eat, and there will also be enough for saving seeds."

Standing aside, Eunuch Qian was overjoyed when he heard their conversation. He secretly thought that His Majesty was wise, and this method really worked.

Even if only half of the dozens of kinds of fruits and vegetables from the divine artifact master were taken out, it would be of great benefit to the Great Yan Dynasty.

It seemed that he had to keep a closer eye on the imperial kitchen and serve this person well. There would be plenty of benefits for them.

One was listening intently, and the other two were talking seriously. None of them noticed that the various officials had already quietly taken their positions.

Some of the dullards who originally wanted to whisper to their colleagues in front and behind were stopped by the more alert ones and followed the crowd in silence.

Didn't they see that the usually chatty officials were either sitting quietly without saying a word or standing with a serious face, afraid of making the slightest sound?

Moreover, some of the colleagues suddenly showed expressions of horror on their faces, but soon these people were dragged by several officials to the side hall.

When they came back, the horror on their faces turned into a daze and suppressed excitement.

Some people even blushed with excitement, and their hands hidden in their wide official robes were tightly clenched into fists.

Looking at their still ignorant colleagues at this time, they suddenly felt that these people were so stupid!

They were still completely unaware of the earth - shattering secret of the Great Yan Dynasty!

An inexplicable sense of superiority climbed onto their cheeks, which attracted the sideways glances of their puzzled colleagues.

Could this person have also "fallen ill" like those others?

Could this illness be contagious? Thinking this way, they unconsciously took a few steps away from them.

Regardless of the little thoughts of the various officials in the hall, Yue Fuguang's conversation with the system continued.

Yue Fuguang said, "It's already autumn now. Once winter comes, there will basically be only dried vegetables left. It's so difficult for me to eat some green vegetables openly. Do you think we should build a greenhouse in the garden behind my courtyard?"

"I still have a little stock of various vegetables here, but unfortunately they are all raw, and neither of us can cook! In this mortal world, we can't use the immortal magic power to set up a fire - gathering formation for the greenhouse. How should we build it?"

"What about using the modern method to build a plastic greenhouse?"

"Master, I don't have any stock of plastic film. It can't be done."

"Then use glass. How about building a glass house? Do you have glass?"

"Yes, but not much. It may not be enough to build an all - glass house. Why don't you find someone to build a kiln and burn some?"

Yue Fuguang said a little unhappily, "Why is it so difficult for this lord to eat some green leafy vegetables openly in the middle of winter?

When I go back, I'll ask my grandmother to send some people. I'll build a kiln and burn more glass. By the way, I'll also replace the windows of the house with glass. It looks brighter that way."

Saying this, Yue Fuguang took a sip of the soup on the table. "Huh, the soup tastes okay, but why does the food in the palace also have this bitter taste? Is the salt that the lord of the world eats also inferior salt that hasn't been properly processed?"

"Master, this isn't inferior salt. It's green salt. Naturally, it's different from the snowflake salt that modern people eat. Their technology is not good enough, and the impurities in the salt haven't been properly processed."

"So that's how it is. I thought it was because my grandfather and the others weren't in the emperor's favor, so the salt our family ate was only a little better than what ordinary people ate. It turns out that the emperor doesn't eat good salt either!"

"The emperor eats the best salt in this country. Does master want to make some snowflake salt for personal use?"

Yue Fuguang sighed. "I'm really having a hard time. To eat something good, I have to do everything myself. I'd better go back and ask my grandmother to send some people. At least purify the salt in our small kitchen first."

After saying all this, Yue Fuguang began to focus on her meal.

At this time, Emperor Mingxi, who had been standing outside the hall for a while and didn't come in to disturb them after hearing their conversation, heard the inside go quiet. He then coughed lightly and slowly walked in.

When the ministers saw His Majesty coming, their hanging hearts finally settled down.

Those ministers who could hear people's thoughts were okay. Seeing that His Majesty hadn't arrived for a long time, they also guessed the reason.

Those who couldn't hear people's thoughts were inevitably nervous. Since His Majesty took charge of the government, he had always been punctual for court sessions. Even when he was sick, he would inform in advance. This was the first time he had been late.

How could they know that their His Majesty had arrived long ago, but was just hiding behind the hall eavesdropping!

The ministers saluted, and Yue Fuguang also stood up. Looking down at this time, she found that her position had an excellent view, and she could clearly see the expressions of the people below.

She had just sat down and was holding a chrysanthemum cake in her hand, not having had time to eat it, when she was impeached by a "stubborn - headed" person.

That person said, "Your Majesty, there has never been a precedent for a woman to attend court. But because she is the Junior Grand Tutor, it can be overlooked for now. How can she sit and eat during the court session? What kind of propriety is this? How can such a person who shows no respect for the monarch be the Junior Grand Tutor of our dynasty?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone quickly followed up and seconded, "Yes, Your Majesty, this precedent cannot be set!"

Another person also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, even the left and right prime ministers stand during the court session, but only the Junior Grand Tutor sits alone. This doesn't conform to the rules.

This humble minister believes that the Junior Grand Tutor, in terms of both age and seniority, has no qualification to enjoy such an honor. The Junior Grand Tutor is only eight years old and has made no contributions to our dynasty. We..."

When they heard him mention the Left and Right Prime Ministers, both Lord Yan, the serious Left Prime Minister, and Lord Xu Su, the Right Prime Minister, felt a pang of unease and silently cursed their bad luck.
