“And my mother, she has been oppressed so harshly by the Sun Family, and my father is indeed powerless. If she could seek a legal divorce, stand tall, and not have to endure the disdainful glances of others, I’m sure she would be willing, right?”
“And my recipe – I was the first one to think of it. If someone were to steal it, would I be able to use the law to recoup some of my losses?”
“Your Highness, I’m just a simple country girl, I don’t understand any grand principles. All I want is to have a law that can ensure justice when I’m being bullied. I think most people share my sentiment.”
“So, if the law is well-revised, then you would’ve provided an umbrella of protection for ordinary folk like me, restoring fairness and justice to the world. Such a great achievement would certainly be renowned for centuries,”
What a character, even throwing out phrases like “renowned for centuries.”
He sounded like a god…
This touched his heart even more.
Although Qiao Xiaomai’s arguments were all centered around herself, they represented the voices of the grassroots.
If there was a law for everything, then the plight of the grassroots would be much improved.
In that sense, the law is enacted to protect ordinary people…
If the commoners live well, then the Yang Family’s reign would be secure.
He was momentarily lost in thought before Yang Ye quickly refocused.
“Cut it out, don’t put such a big hat on me,” he huffed, “What else do you have in mind? Just spit it out.”
“I’m just a country girl, I don’t have much on my mind… It’s just that the Sun Family once said that if my mother returned, they would sue her and make her suffer the pig-cage punishment. Are there any rules about that?”
The Sun Family had made the threat off-handedly, but she had taken it to heart.
Given how much Cen Hong coveted her family’s house, it was possible he would make a big fuss using this issue. She needed to nip every possible problem in the bud.
“The laws of the previous dynasty addressed this; our dynasty has no regulations concerning eloped men and women.”
“Will there be any regulations on this in the future?”
“It depends. After I return, I’ll have to discuss it with the court officials and ultimately leave it to the Emperor’s judgment. But don’t worry, I will make a point of this.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!” Qiao Xiaomai hastily expressed her gratitude.
“I don’t care much for verbal thanks, think about something practical,” Yang Ye said as he continued to leisurely sip his soup.
At his words, Qiao Xiaomai blinked her eyes.
To be honest, she saw Yang Ye as a glutton who always wanted to eat fresh and unique dishes.
But she had already expended all her ideas when the former Emperor was still alive. Now with Yang Ye demanding innovation, it added a layer of difficulty.
She revealed an apologetic smile, “Honestly, I haven’t been focusing on developing new dishes recently… Eh, my family’s sweet potatoes and sesame are almost ready for harvest. How about I send you some when they’re ready?”
He rolled his eyes without regard for his image, “Do you really think I’m hungry for your sweet potatoes?”
“Just wait a little longer, okay? As soon as I have a new idea, I’ll let you know right away.” Qiao Xiaomai was also unsure if her crops were as excellent as she’d hoped, so she didn’t want to overpromise.
Yang Ye listened to her words, a hint of dissatisfaction on his handsome face. However, he knew that it was not easy to force inspiration, even the Imperial Kitchen couldn’t come up with new recipes every day.
