Zhu Cihong took Qi Long back to Qingning Palace.

Zhu Cihong just sat down on his front feet, and said lightly: "Qi Long, you didn't use all your strength just now!" ”

Qi Long suddenly panicked, and quickly knelt down and explained: "I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive me, my subordinates didn't mean to deceive, but they couldn't help themselves." ”

Zhu Cihong thought about it and guessed that it must be the eunuchs who were making trouble, no wonder the old eunuch just now wanted to send someone to replace Qi Long. It's just that he didn't expect Qi Long to lose to Li Xiaotian, but instead highlighted Qi Long's skill, and he also lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.

Zhu Cihong said coldly with a straight face: "You tell me honestly, you just used a few successes against Li Xiaotian. If you dare to deceive this prince, this prince will not spare you easily. ”

Qi Long saw that Zhu Cihong was talking coldly, thinking that Zhu Cihong was angry, so he could only explain honestly.

"Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, it only took three successes to make it down."

"Really? You didn't cheat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, your subordinates have been wronged! Even if his subordinates ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, they didn't dare to deceive His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

"Hmph, forgive me for not daring. Stand down! ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired." After speaking, Qi Long respectfully retreated.

In the evening, when Zhu Cihong was having dinner, Chunxiang came back with sweet potatoes and pearl rice. When Zhu Cihong heard that Chunxiang was back, he didn't eat directly, and hurriedly called Chunxiang in.

Chunxiang hurriedly walked in, knelt on the ground and saluted: "Slaves and maids participate in His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

Zhu Cihong said eagerly: "No need to be polite, Chunxiang heard that you brought sweet potatoes and pearl rice to Prince Ben?" ”

"Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave and maid fortunately brought back sweet potatoes and pearl rice seeds. Your Highness, please take a look. After saying that, Haruka took out the sweet potato and pearl rice seeds from her bag.

Zhu Cihong hurriedly took it, carefully checked it, and after repeated confirmation, he found that this was the seed of sweet potato and pearl rice.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, are these enough? If it is not enough, the slaves and maids have bought more, and some have not been taken out. ”

Hearing that there were more, Zhu Cihong laughed happily: "Naturally, the more seeds, the better, and His Royal Highness has its own great use." Haruka, you have found sweet potatoes and pearl rice seeds for His Royal Highness, which is really indispensable, say what reward you want, Your Highness will reward you heavily. ”

Chunxiang said without humility or arrogance: "It is the honor of the slave maid to share the worries of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the slave maid does not dare to ask for a reward." ”

Zhu Cihong naturally knew that this was Chunxiang's shirk, and he couldn't reward nothing, otherwise next time he asked his subordinates to do something, no one would be willing to do their best.

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said happily: "Come on, Chunxiang did her best to find sweet potatoes and pearl rice for the prince, and rewarded twenty taels of silver as a reward." ”

Chunxiang is grateful to Dade for accepting Zhu Cihong's reward.

After rewarding Chunxiang, he withdrew, and Zhu Cihong began to think about the next plan.

The people take food as the sky, the output of sweet potatoes and pearl rice, Chongzhen will definitely be respected by the whole country, although it can not completely solve the food crisis, but it can also greatly alleviate the food problem, and there will be no more starvation.

It's just that it is definitely inappropriate to rashly take the seeds to see Chongzhen, so you can only convince everyone by getting the results out first and speaking with facts.

The first priority was to find an experimental plot to plant sweet potatoes and pearl rice. While looking for someone to take care of it, you can also let people study hybrid rice, if hybrid rice is studied, then the food crisis in Daming can be completely solved.

It's just that whether it's better for him to go to Chongzhen or to find Queen Zhou, Zhu Cihong is entangled.

After thinking about it, Zhu Cihong still decided to go to Queen Zhou, Chongzhen is famous for being stubborn and self-serving in history, and it is very likely that it will not be taken seriously to find Chongzhen by himself. Queen Zhou's words should be easier to talk about, after all, it is understandable for her own mother to spoil her son.

The next day, Zhu Cihong arrived at Kunning Palace, and after seeing Queen Zhou, Zhu Cihong respectfully saluted, "Erchen knocks to see the queen mother!" ”

When Queen Zhou saw Zhu Cihong coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to pick Zhu Cihong up, and said gently: "Lang'er, how is your body, ask my mother to take a good look." ”

Zhu Cihong hurriedly said: "The child's body has recovered, and now he is as strong as a cow." ”

Empress Zhou smiled and said, "You! Happy after coaxing his mother. Let the queen mother hug you and see if you have eaten well during this time. After speaking, he hugged Zhu Cihong. It is also an adult, holding a three-year-old child, how can you hug it.

Being held by Queen Zhou, Zhu Cihong didn't feel anything unusual, mother and son nature, Queen Zhou did this, it would only make him feel more warm and kind.

was hugged by Queen Zhou, and Zhu Youming, who had never felt mother's love in two lives, almost cried. It turns out that this is mother's love, so warm and kind. Thinking of the tragic fate of Zhou Hou, Zhu Cihong secretly vowed in his heart that he must change history and reverse Zhou Hou's tragic fate.

After hugging for a while, Zhu Cihong said to Queen Zhou: "Mother, the child has something to ask for, and please ask the mother to help the child!" ”

Empress Zhou looked at Zhu Cihong gently, and said softly: "Lang'er, what do you want your mother to do for you?" As long as my mother can do it, I will definitely help you. ”

"Mother, my child recently got a batch of high-yield grain seeds. If you go to your father, your father will definitely not believe it. Therefore, the child wants his mother to help the child find a batch of land for experiments, which can be used to verify that this batch of seeds is indeed high-yielding. ”

After listening to Zhu Cihong's words, Empress Zhou looked a little surprised, and said in surprise: "Lang'er, I didn't expect that you would know how to share your father's worries at a young age." In that case, the queen mother will give you a hundred acres of land. Lang'er has any other requirements, just put it forward, the queen mother is a good person to the end, and she will meet you together. ”

Hearing that Zhou Hou promised to give himself 100 acres of land for experiments, Zhu Cihong endured his excitement and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, the child still needs to find someone who knows how to take care of the crops to help the child take care of this 100 acres of fertile land." ”

After listening to Zhu Cihong, Queen Zhou said with relief: "It seems that Lang'er's matter was decided after careful consideration, and the queen mother thought you were on a whim!" It's really a three-day treat, but Lang'er is sensible when he is seriously ill. ”

"Lang'er, there shouldn't be anyone available in your hands now!"

"Sure enough, I still can't hide it from my mother." Zhu Cihong touched his head and said embarrassedly

"In that case, let Fauber take care of you! Fauber saw that I grew up, you must not be too rude. ”

"Thank you, child."

Zhu Cihong sprinkled for a while with Empress Zhou before returning to his Qingning Palace.
