Chapter 59

When Pan Chen came to the outside of the Taihe Palace, Li Shun greeted him: "Ouch, I haven't seen you for many days, Pan Zhaoyi has lost a lot." Then he saw the big watermelon that Yueluo was holding in his hand behind Pan Chen, and Li Shun was stunned for a moment.

After rolling his eyes between Pan Chen and the watermelon, he asked Pan Chen:

"It's ......"

Pan Chen replied briskly: "Oh, this is the watermelon I grew myself, it is almost grown, and I plan to use it to honor the emperor." ”

“……”

Li Shun's head is full of black lines, he has seen soup, pastries, dishes, purses, and love letters to the emperor's concubines, but he has never seen anyone who sends the emperor's watermelon, this Pan Zhaoyi really does not play cards according to common sense.

Pan Chen glanced at the moonset: "Give the watermelon to Manager Li, you wait for me here." ”

The corners of Li Shun's mouth twitched, and he carefully took the watermelon that Yueluo handed to him, his hands sank, and he almost rolled the watermelon, Li Shun couldn't even say a word, so he led Pan Chen into the Taihe Palace.

Qi Mozhou was discussing things with Gan Xiang and several cabinet ministers in the interior, each of them checked the file, and after listening to Li Shuntong's biography, he let Pan Chen come in, and after Pan Chen came to the dragon case to salute Qi Mozhou, Qi Mozhou turned around and looked at her, and wanted to return his eyes to the file, but when he saw Pan Chen's face, he changed his mind, put down the file, and raised his hand to Pan Chen:

"How did you lose so much weight? Bitter summer? ”

As he spoke, he came to Pan Chen, and without saying a word, he held Pan Chen's face with both hands, and then pinched her waist and buttocks twice, and said with a little frustration: "I just grew some meat before, why did I go down again?" ”

Pan Chen smiled heartlessly: "In summer, if you eat less, won't you lose weight." ”

Qi Mozhou glanced at her suspiciously, glanced at Li Shun, who was still standing aside, and his eyes fell on the watermelon he was holding in his arms, Li Shun hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, this is ...... Pan Zhaoyi brought it. ”

Li Shun found a hole in the ground and sent watermelons to the emperor, Pan Zhaoyi was the first person in the ages.

Qi Mozhou walked up to Li Shun, looked down at the watermelon, and knew that Pan Chen liked to tinker with these things, so he asked the Ministry of Agriculture to send her a lot of seeds and seedlings before, but she didn't expect that it would only be a long time, and she actually tossed something.

Pan Chen also leaned over to show his merits: "This is an early melon, I don't know if it's ripe or not, it's big enough, the concubine thinks that she hasn't seen the emperor for so long, she can't come over empty-handed, so let people pick this melon." ”

Listening to Pan Chen's words, Qi Mozhou smiled unexpectedly: "What, are you complaining that I haven't been looking at you for so long?" ”

Pan Chen was stunned, and then shook his head decisively: "No, the concubine really wants the emperor to taste the melons planted by the concubine." ”

Qi Mozhou's deep gaze looked at Pan Chen for a while, and then with a 'I understand' expression, he turned to Li Shun and said:

"Since it was planted by Pan Zhaoyi himself, let's go cut it, it just so happens that they are all there, and they are divided into plates and sent to them, so it is said that it is Pan Zhaoyi's heart."

Li Shun hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, muttering in his heart, Pan Zhaoyi is really evil, the emperor has not been to the harem for more than a month, all the palace ladies have come to ask for peace and sent things, but the emperor was stunned and did not see it, and the things were confiscated, which is good, just after some relief, he summoned Pan Zhaoyi to meet him, and he did not dislike the simple gift sent by Pan Zhaoyi at all, and he especially trusted the ministers to taste it together, I really don't know how Gan Xiang will feel.

But no matter what, it's like this Pan Zhaoyi who has won the emperor's favor, and the other qiē has become less important.5./books/24/24719/

The captive emperor of gastronomy.

Gan Xiang had met Pan Chen, and had a relatively memorable conversation, so when Qi Mozhou called the cabinet ministers to come out to rest, Gan Xiang took the initiative to come to Pan Chen to greet her. Pan Chen had a very good impression of this prime minister and responded enthusiastically.

Li Shun led some palace maids to send the cut watermelons in, and Qi Mozhou spoke: "You can also taste the watermelons planted by Pan Zhaoyi himself." It looks pretty good. ”

Pan Chen didn't expect the watermelon pulp to be so red, tender and tender, with black seeds full and large, exuding a sweet fragrance. It was the first time she had eaten it herself, so she didn't pay attention to other people's expressions, she took a piece of it herself, and took a bite, it was much sweeter than she imagined, the flesh was crisp, and the taste was actually very good.

Gan Xiang and other cabinet ministers were also full of praise for this watermelon, and Gan Xiang ate it, so he thought of asking Pan Chen:

"I didn't expect Pan Zhaoyi to have such a skill, this watermelon tastes different from what we usually eat, it seems to be sweeter, crisper, and more watery, I don't know if Pan Zhaoyi has any methods, the Ministry of Agriculture must be very interested."

Pan Chen glanced up at Qi Mozhou, and asked him if he could talk to Gan Xiang, Qi Mozhou ate elegantly, sat on the dragon chair, and nodded to Pan Chen without a trace after spitting out black seeds with his fingers, Pan Chen put down the watermelon in his hand and replied to Gan Xiang:

"There's no special method, it's just ordinary grafting, I use pumpkin vines to graft melons, and then water rice."

Gan Xiang seemed interested: "Pumpkin vine grafting? What does that mean? Could it be that watermelons can also grow on pumpkin vines? ”

Pan Chen thought about it for a while, and replied: "Of course you can, they are all vines, and pumpkin vines are tough." ”

After getting Pan Chen's answer, Gan Xiang looked at her and seemed to be a little silent, the ministers next to her were full of praise after eating the melon, and they all said that it was much better than what they had eaten before, Pan Chen didn't have this idea, because in her opinion, the taste of this melon has not yet reached the modern kind of technology, at this time, she regretted that she was not a student of biology, if she knew biotechnology, she could cultivate embryos by herself, and induce diploid watermelons into tetraploid hybrids, maybe she could breed seedless watermelons in this era, That's shocking enough.

Qi Mozhou also didn't expect that the melons brought by Pan Chen would have such a good response, and they were very popular, and they often let people send refreshments to the cabinet, and everyone would always wait until they were hungry and thirsty to eat, but today several ministers who are more calm and introverted on weekdays came over to pick up two or three times and praised them one after another.

He glanced at Gan Xiang thoughtfully, Qi Mozhou could guess what Gan Xiang was thinking now, the scholar system had achieved some results, and land reclamation had begun, but the planning after land recovery was a big problem, and the Ministry of Agriculture urgently sent people to discuss the response, but so far no corresponding plan has come out, Qi Mozhou's eyes fell on Pan Chen's body again......

Gan Xiang also seemed to notice Qi Mozhou's gaze, and the two looked at each other, both understanding what the other party meant. However, due to the presence of outsiders, he did not say it on the spot.

After the ministers finished eating the watermelon, they returned to the inner room again to continue the discussion, and the situation seemed to be much better than just now, and they were talking and laughing when they entered, obviously they were very surprised and satisfied with the fact that they could eat a watermelon at this time.

Pan Chen looked at the red watermelon in his hand, and there were countless ideas in his mind, she kept the land for herself, in fact, the original purpose was to deal with the situation of being neglected like recently, but she never thought of making a difference in this aspect, although a psychologist is not doing his job, and he doesn't want to use psychology to conquer the stars and the sea, but it is a bit shameful to start the idea of developing agricultural science and technology, but if this mind can bring improvement to Pan Chen's current life, Pan Chen doesn't mind developing on this road at all.

A psychologist who doesn't want to be an agriculturist is not a good concubine.

Amused by his own thoughts, Pan Chen hurriedly finished eating the watermelon in his hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, and looked up to look at Qi Mozhou, but found that Qi Mozhou was also looking at her at the moment, his eyes were deep, and Pan Chen's scalp was numb for a while, because she didn't know what he was thinking, she only felt goosebumps all over her body.
