The room is quiet with a faint smell of ambergris. Xiao Yu didn't dare to look around, so he bowed down: "The courtier Xiao Yu has seen Your Majesty." ”

Seeing that she seemed a little nervous, Li Jiande slowed down his tone and said gently: "Flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Yu stood up stiffly.

"I heard that you planted this corn?" Li Jiande looked at the little girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old, and thought that Ling Yi and Hua Yue would be too exaggerated, so he asked

Xiao Yu replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the courtiers have only seen a few words about how to grow corn from ancient books, and they are not very detailed. It happened that the deputy envoy of the Maritime Affairs Department found this thing, so he dared to tell what he knew. ”

After a pause, Xiao Yu continued: "The corn can be grown, it all depends on the Son of Heaven Shengming, and the country's fortune is prosperous, so that the deputy envoy of the flower can encounter such a good seed and bring it back intact, and then the saint personally asks General Ling to arrange it properly, and Wang Siqing and several old farmers are experienced and have no slack in careful cultivation." In contrast, the courtiers' efforts are really small, and they do not dare to be greedy. ”

Xiao Yu said very sincerely, so that Emperor Qi listened to the dragon's heart.

Gonggong Li, who was next to him, trembled a little when he saw Xiao Yu come in before, and he was worried that she would not be able to get on the stage and provoke the saint's displeasure.

With a happy heart, Li Jiande said: "In this way, what General Ling said that you personally went to the field to plant corn is a deception?" ”

After answering two sentences, Xiao Yu had already calmed down, and immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, although the courtier's contribution is small, it is not without merit, and the courtiers also go to the ground to sow seeds and break the forks." ”

Hearing this, Li Jiande laughed loudly and said, "Since the noble daughter of the Xiao family has worked tirelessly to farm for me, let me think about what to reward...... Why don't you seal a county lord? ”

Gonggong Li next to him was already happy: "The saint is wise." ”

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." However, now corn has only been tried and has not yet been promoted, and it is not known what the effect and yield will be after large-scale planting. And the sweet potatoes and peanuts that I brought back last time will have time to try planting in the future, why don't your majesty wait for the harvest to reward the courtiers? ”

Emperor Qi was greatly surprised, shouldn't the person who was rewarded at this time kneel down happily to thank him?

In fact, Xiao Yu was still very happy to accept this reward. However, this corn is so miraculous that she is worried that the ones that grow will not be able to be planted again, or that the growth will be very slow and the yield will not be high, as is often the case with the hybrid variants of later generations.

Seeing Emperor Qi's confused face, Xiao Yu simply told her bluntly and told her concerns.

Seeing his frank admission, Li Jiande thought for a while and smiled: "Since this is the case, according to what you said, I will reward you when this corn harvest is abundant." ”

Xiao Yu immediately bowed down: "The courtiers thanked Your Majesty Long En first." ”

Emperor Qi asked Xiao Yu again where the ancient book was, and she still replied that it had been dispersed, which was very regrettable. At that moment, he routinely rewarded some gold and silver cloths, and asked Gonggong Li to send Xiao Yu out, but he decided in his heart, so he spoke to this little girl flattering and honest, and gave her a reward no matter what the corn yield was after that.

When he left the study, Xiao Yu saw Ling Yi again, and knew that he still had something to do, so he said goodbye and went home first.

Seeing that Li Fuquan intended to send it to the gate of the Taishou Mansion, Xiao Yu knew that he was a popular man in front of the emperor, so he didn't dare to hold it up, so he stopped when he walked to the garden.

"It's cold, father-in-law, please stay, the saint can't miss your service."

"The girl has lifted our family."

Li Fuquan has now greatly changed his impression of Xiao Yu, and he is used to observing words and feelings, and he can see that Emperor Qi has the heart to reward this noble girl who was born into a famous family, so he will naturally not be contemptuous.

Moreover, in the past few days, Gonggong Li has been on the side of the servant, and when he heard Concubine Shuniang, General Ling and Hua Yue Gongzi all mentioning this Xiao Yu girl intentionally or unintentionally, there was no lack of appreciation in his tone, with the help of so many people, how could he not see that the identity of this Xiao Mansion's daughter would only become more and more valuable.

However, since Xiao Yu said so, Li Fuquan walked slowly, and was about to turn back, but when he looked up, he saw that Mrs. Chen Zhuan had brought her daughter over.

It stands to reason that such idlers should not have been put in the place where the Son of Heaven was stationed, but in order to appease the concubine Niangniang, who had just been canonized but was injured and bedridden, Emperor Qi allowed the ladies and girls of various mansions to come and visit. As a result, this Chen girl, who offended the new nobleman, came over to see the heavens and the earth.

Could it be that this Miss Chen doesn't know that Concubine Shu actually doesn't want to see her in her heart?

But if this is the case, it is not surprising that this one even ridiculed Miss Xiao, because Miss Xiao used to farm in the countryside! Such a pig brain probably can't think of anything expensive that Miss Xiao planted, right? It's a fetish, just look at the gold-like color and know it's a treasure!

These thoughts flashed by, and Li Fuquan was not reckless, but he didn't see the two of them, and said to Xiao Yu with a smile: "Then our house will go back first, Miss Xiao go slowly." ”

Chen Zhuan in the back made the wife busy pulling her daughter.

Chen Jinhua reluctantly stepped forward and pulled out a smile: "What is Sister Xiao doing here?" ”

Xiao Yu noticed Chen Jinhua's mother and daughter, but she was too lazy to be perfunctory, and said with a slight smile: "People like me who can only farm really can't afford to be Miss Chen's sister, so I don't have to not only damage Miss Chen's reputation, but also reduce Miss Chen's identity." ”

Ordinary people would at least be a little embarrassed to hear this, but Chen Jinhua was obviously extraordinary, and when she heard this, she raised her head arrogantly and sneered: "It's still a little self-aware." ”

Chen Zhuan's wife secretly complained in her heart.

Li Fuquan next to him couldn't stand it, but he didn't hear this sentence, and said to Xiao Yu: "The girl said that it was funny, our family still expects you to farm and develop the contract." ”

Xiao Yu laughed and said: "If he borrows my father-in-law's auspicious words to rise to the top, I will never forget my father-in-law." ”

This Li Fuquan is really a wonderful person, and he deserves to be valued by the emperor.

Chen Jinhua next to him saw Li Fuquan smiling at Xiao Yu's eyebrows, only to feel extremely dazzling, and couldn't help but say with disdain: "Sure enough, it's a rootless thing, cheap!" ”

Li Fuquan's face changed greatly.

Mrs. Chen Zhuan was horrified this time, pinched her daughter hard, and hurriedly laughed: "This dead girl always talks nonsense, Father-in-law Li must not take it to heart......"

But Li Fuquan didn't listen at all, threw off his sleeves and left.

Xiao Yu and Gonggong Li next to him called the maid who came over to lead the way to leave, and on the way, I still thought, don't hit people in the face, scold people without revealing shortcomings, like Chen Jinhua, who pokes people's sore spots, do you think life is too good? It's amazing how arrogant she can be so far.

"That little girl from the Xiao family went back?" As soon as Li Fuquan returned to the study, Emperor Qi asked.

"The minions were sent to the garden."

Seeing that Emperor Qi nodded, Li Fuquan didn't say anything more, and said, "The slave just met the wife and daughter of Chen Zhuan in the garden. ”

Emperor Qi immediately stopped his pen and said, "Why did those two come over again." (To be continued.) )
