Little did she know that Queen Zhang smiled, although she was staring at Zhu Houzhao, now Zhu Houzhao has turned into a mud monkey. She got closer and felt a bit fishy and sensational.

The light from the corner of Queen Zhang's eyes glanced at Zhu Xiurong.

While taking the veil, he pinched a piece of French fries through the veil and put it gently into his mouth.

Then, Queen Zhang fell silent.

The taste...has a different feeling.

Although the food in the palace is precious, the food made by the imperial chefs is delicious, but it is too bland.

Although the pastries in the palace are thoughtful, they are mainly sweets. However, the fries have a slight salty taste, which seems to be... and also add pepper or dogwood, which is a bit spicy.

Queen Zhang's willow eyebrows slowly sootheed, and she smiled sweetly and said, "The taste... is really delicious."

At this moment, Zhu Xiurong, who was standing beside him, suddenly said, "I'll try it, too."

Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised that her girl suddenly changed her attitude and couldn't help but sarcasticize her: "Didn't you say you look greasy and don't want to eat it?"

Zhu Xiurong said, "Mother, my brother captured the field the day before yesterday..."

Zhu Houzhao's body trembled and immediately said, "Sister, eat quickly, this is what I'm going to give you food. I'm your brother, my family, I will take you with you if you have good things. I'm thinking of you in my heart."

Then, he picked up a piece of French fries with his own hands and stuffed them into Zhu Xiurong's mouth.

Zhu Xiurong only bit half of it, and suddenly felt a strange smell in her mouth. The smell suddenly spread, and her eyes lit up slightly: "It's delicious."

"I'll just say it!" Zhu Houzhao slapped her thighs and was extremely excited.

Queen Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, look at you, stop making trouble. Your father will come later, let's see if you can still laugh."

Zhu Houzhao's smile was still the same, but she said, "My mother, my son is just happy. These potatoes were grown by my son, and I personally applied the fertilizer. My mother thought it was delicious. It would be fine for me to live a few days and move dozens of baskets. It is easy to grow this thing and the harvest is high."

Queen Zhang nodded with a relieved smile.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhu Houzhao was wary of Emperor Hongzhi's arrival, so she did not dare to stay any longer. She came down from the bed and said, "Mother, my son will say goodbye first. Girl, I'm leaving, don't send him off."

After saying that, he ran away without hesitation.

Queen Zhang looked at his hurried back and shook her head, and sighed: "This child is shocked, who do you look like? Xiurong, are you still well-behaved."

Zhu Xiurong only nodded and said, "Mother, these potatoes are quite delicious."

"Aren't you saying you're afraid of greasiness?" Queen Zhang smiled, but there was a little hesitation deep in her eyes.

Zhu Xiurong took the handkerchief, took another one, bit it gently, and then said, "Mother, my son-in-law thinks that according to the emperor's nature, this potato must not be planted by him, he is here to make a contribution."

Queen Zhang pursed her lips and smiled: "This is very likely."

"Who planted that?" Zhu Xiurong blinked, then his eyes drooped again, and his long eyelashes drew beautifully.

Queen Zhang thought for a while and said, "Maybe it is Fang Jifan, he likes to mess with this."

"Oh." Zhu Xiurong stopped talking.

Queen Zhang didn't say anything and tasted the fries again. She thought it was delicious. She wanted to eat more, but thought that His Majesty might be here, so she restrained Yuwang and handed the handkerchief to the eunuch beside her, and the corners of her eyes swept Zhu Xiurong...

Queen Zhang suddenly said, "Xiurong, you are not young anymore. You have already performed a wedding ceremony at the beginning of this year. The girl is too old to stay. Look at her, it's time to ask your father to choose a prince consort for you."

Zhu Xiurong was stunned, and then said shyly and angry: "My daughter is willing to serve her mother for the rest of her life, and never leave her."

Queen Zhang said lightly: "Look at the Ai family, the boy from the Fang family is not bad, what do you think?"

Zhu Xiurong's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes, but said, "The orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker, my daughter is the only one who depends on the mother and queen. But I still want to serve my father, queen and queen."

A trace of light flashed through Queen Zhang's phoenix eyes: "Oh, let's discuss this for a long time. Your father still hopes to keep you by his side for more days. He only has a pair of children. If he really wants to get married, he is afraid he will not be able to bear it."

Zhu Xiurong paused for a moment, a different look flashed across his face, and finally said, "It is the son's wish to stay by his father and mother."

Queen Zhang smiled meaningfully, but she felt a little headache. Who does this daughter look like?

It seems... she can't think of the answer either.

But at this moment, a voice came from outside: "Your Majesty is here."

Queen Zhang interrupted her thoughts, stood up, and said to Zhu Xiurong: "Go and welcome him."

After leaving the bedroom and greeting the sage, Emperor Hongzhi was tired. Because he left the warm pavilion and was afraid of the cold, he wore a fluffy cloak in fox fur. However, the north wind shouted, not only did his long beard rush, but his cloak drifted with the wind.

Emperor Hongzhi entered the house with a cold air. Empress Zhang immediately ordered someone to add a basin of charcoal fire. While removing the cloak for Emperor Hongzhi, she said, "Your Majesty, it's cold outside, so it's okay to rest in the warm pavilion. It's late at night, why should I come to Kunning Palace?"

Emperor Hongzhi said with a stern face: "Have the prince been here?"

Queen Zhang said in surprise: "How did the emperor know..."

Emperor Hongzhi was almost angry and half-death.

"I was on the imperial carriage and suddenly saw a figure in the distance, and ran around the road with a whirlwind. Who else could there be in this palace except for him who dared to be so unruly? The palace maids and eunuchs dared to run like this, so they had sent Xiao to punish him for his crimes. Fortunately, he escaped quickly!"

Empress Zhang naturally helped Zhu Houzhao: "Maybe... it's because the prince didn't see the sage."

The explanation "..." is a bit insulting people's IQ.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't continue to say anything, but looked at Zhu Xiurong lovingly: "Xiong is really more and more like a lady from a wealthy family, dignified and decent, much better than that rebellious son."

Zhu Xiurong nodded, as if he was still thinking about something.

Emperor Hongzhi had untied his cloak and felt the warmth in the bedroom. He sat on the couch and saw the fries on the table. He couldn't help but say, "What's this?"

Queen Zhang smiled and said, "It was the prince who specially honored the emperor's fries."

But at the same time, Zhu Xiurong and Empress Zhang said almost at the same time: "It is the potatoes planted by Fang Jifan."

Hongzhi looked surprised and looked at Empress Zhang and Zhu Xiurong.

Queen Zhang smiled slightly and glanced at Zhu Xiurong. Zhu Xiurong was busy pursing her head, not daring to show off.

Queen Zhang then said, "It is indeed the potatoes planted by Fang Jifan."

"Oh." Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Potato? The prince sent it himself? It's rare that the rebellious son is still considerate."

The eunuch had prepared a pair of silver chopsticks and sent them to Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi took it and picked up a piece of French fries to the mouth. After tasting it briefly, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but exclaim: "The taste is really good. Xiurong, have you eaten it? Come to me, this is called French fries? Is it made of sweet potatoes? Sweet potatoes are good things, and they are full of treasures."

When it comes to sweet potatoes, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes shiny. He wished that sweet potatoes would be promoted to the world immediately.

Zhu Xiurong then stepped forward, Emperor Hongzhi picked up a big one and fed it to Zhu Xiurong.

Zhu Xiurong chewed her teeth and exclaimed: "It's delicious, my father has a lot of money, so he should eat more. And... this is not made of sweet potatoes, but made of potatoes!"

"Tu...dou..." Emperor Hongzhi began to pay attention to the strange words. He said thoughtfully: "I have never heard of this." As he said that, he looked up at the eunuchs around him and said: "Have you heard of it?"

The eunuchs and palace maids around were all shaking their heads in confusion.

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Potatoes...beans growing in the soil? Fang Jifan has made new things again? Haha... what did the prince say?"

Queen Zhang shook her head and said, "I didn't say anything else."

Emperor Hongzhi began to hesitate: "Go and call Xiao Jing."

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be very cautious about this.

The potato has a good taste. Since it was made by Fang Jifan, it may not be as productive as sweet potatoes, but the appearance of sweet potatoes opened a new door to Emperor Hongzhi's heart.

In the past, I tried my best to think about how to persuade farmers. After more than ten years of persuasion, I worked hard to solve the problem of sweet potatoes. It turns out that there is a new idea in the world to solve the problem.

Zhu Xiurong took advantage of this gap and personally poured a cup of tea for Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi felt a little thirsty and couldn't help but say softly: "It's better for Xiurong to know me. What a good child. If there is no Xiurong, I will be angry to death."

Queen Zhang smiled and said, "Actually, the prince cherishes His Majesty just as much as Xiurong."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "It's enough that he doesn't cause trouble. Fortunately, I've been 'slept with' to the West Mountain. I'm a little more peaceful. Even if he has some bad habits, he can't get rid of them. He is the crown prince and wants to be dignified. Why did I get angry when I saw him running away just now? This prince is not as terrible as a prince. I'm not so scared that he fears him like a tiger. Xiurong, do you think his father is acquainted?"

Zhu Xiurong said sweetly: "The father is kind and kind."

Emperor Hongzhi felt warm and immediately smiled and said happily: "Why do you say that Xiurong is sensible? This is the reason."

As he said that, Xiao Jing was already out of breath. He thought something big had happened, because His Majesty went to Kunning Palace and he would not need to serve him.

He arrived at the bedroom and hurriedly fell to the ground: "What are your instructions?"

Emperor Hongzhi saw that he was covered in snow and panting, and couldn't help but say, "Get up and stand by the charcoal basin to reply."

Xiao Jing stood up and stood firm against the charcoal basin, and his whole body suddenly became warm.

"I ask you, what is potato?"

"..." The fireworks in the charcoal basin not only warmed Xiao Jing's body, but also warmed Xiao Jing's heart. But when he heard about His Majesty's question, Xiao Jing was stunned...

What are potatoes?
