Chapter 373 Reward

Li Yuanhao was not a luxurious emperor, and his lunch was not like the legendary magnificent of the 95th emperor in the palace. Two people had twenty dishes, ten hot dishes, four cold dishes, four desserts, and two soup dishes.

But for the two, there are still a lot.

However, for the emperor, such specifications are already considered low.

It is said that Li Yuanhao was not a favored prince when he was young. He was able to seize the throne from many emperor brothers with significant advantages, and his experience was a lifetime of death. Therefore, he has always been tolerant of the old ministers and confidants who had been by his side. After ascending the throne, he abolished the dietary rules set by his ancestors, including the emperor's twenty dishes, the queen's eighteen dishes, the four concubines' twelve dishes, and other grades were reduced in turn.

Despite such recommendations, the palace concubine with the lowest grade may only have one dish and one soup left, and it will not allow Li Yuanhao to give him a more example.

However, the people below also deal with the complaints flexibly. The palace concubines with low grades always have three dishes and one soup, but there will be some changes in the dishes. This will make them much more balanced.

In addition, the expenses of the entire harem were also much reduced than those of the previous emperors of the Chen Kingdom when they were reigned. The tailoring banquets were different all year round, and the imperial concubine led the crowd to reduce daily expenses.

With such a move, the Ministry of Internal Affairs organized the accounts over a year and could save millions of taels of silver.

This situation pushed Li Yuanhao to a very high position, supported by his ministers and the subjects, and secretly told him that he was the wisest monarch of the Chen Kingdom for hundreds of years.

Twenty dishes were placed on a table more than one meter long, full of them. Although the emperor's twenty dishes were already ordinary enough, it still seemed too many to Chaole, an ordinary person in his bones.

Fortunately, Li Yuanhao was stopped from asking the kitchen to add dishes, otherwise she would have the same food as her eldest princess and the four concubines, and that would be thirty-two dishes, and she would not be able to finish them even if she had to endure them. At that time, every dish would be kept as it was, and she would probably be removed.

"This is your favorite squirrel mandarin fish. Try it quickly and see if it tastes good today." After Li Yuanhao sat down, he began to let his daughter eat it enthusiastically, pointing at this and pointing to that one. The eunuchs next to him then quickly put the dishes that the emperor had spoken to Chaole.

After a while, all the dishes placed in front of Chaole had changed.

"My father also eats it." Li Yuanhao's expectant eyes grabbed a piece of squirrel mandarin fish and said with a smile after a moment.

Li Yuanhao's face was filled with a smile and nodded repeatedly.

Eunuch Gao next to him looked at his master's eyes and quickly picked up a piece of squirrel mandarin fish and put it in a bowl.

Li Yuanhao put the fish meat into his mouth and narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt that the fish tasted particularly good today, so he turned his head and said "reward" to Eunuch Gao.

The dishes Li Yuanhao ate were all those that Chaole had eaten. His eyes were on which dish Chaole ate. Then, as his daughter did, he felt that each dish tasted very good, and he said several words of appreciation in succession.

Hearing the sound of eating silently, she twitched the corners of her mouth. She could not feel the obvious pampering and pleasing, she would have seen a ghost.
