Chapter 213: The Little Prince
What is it? Ye Ling thought that Ye Qiu had finally come back from Huangzhuang, so he came to see him when he was not busy with official business, never thinking that he was leading his two sons to bake something to eat.
The surface of the thing looked black, but I didn't expect the skin to be golden when peeled off, and it also exuded a strange fragrance.
There are a lot of official duties today, so I used a little casually for lunch, and the strange fragrance came and successfully aroused the gluttony in Ye Ling's stomach.
"Father." The crown prince Ye Shu saluted politely, and then handed Ye Ling what the imperial uncle called a sweet potato in his hand.
The second prince was frightened for a moment when he saw Ye Ling, but when he saw Ye Qiu sitting on the ground without any image, he didn't care about nibbling on the sweet potato in his hand.
It's delicious! The second prince narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, since the imperial uncle brought him such delicious food, then he generously forgave the imperial uncle for not taking him out of the palace to play.
"Where did you bring this from?" Ye Ling suspiciously put the roasted sweet potato into his mouth, and in an instant it was soft and glutinous and filled his mouth, this inconspicuous thing was even more delicious than he imagined.
"On the mountain of Huangzhuang, there are several on one vine!" Ye Qiu replied indifferently.
But Ye Ling couldn't ignore that such delicious food could be grown on the mountain? One sweet potato can fill the belly of a child and a woman, two sweet potatoes for an adult man, and several sweet potatoes can be produced on a single vine, which is enough to prove that this is a high-yield grain that is not limited to planting conditions.
With Ye Ling's knowledge, he has foreseen the importance of this kind of "sweet potato" by the emperor's younger brother, if it can be popularized throughout the country, then it will greatly improve the lives of the people, and with it, it will ensure that more people will no longer go hungry.
"How many sweet potatoes are there?" Ye Ling asked Ye Qiu nervously.
"I don't know, there's a lot of growth on the mountain."
Seeing Ye Qiu say this, Ye Ling immediately sent someone to inform the left and right prime ministers and the head of the household that he was going to go in person.
Most of the mountains that can be zoned to the Imperial Village are the places where Zhong Ling is beautiful, but this mountain in the Yeqiu Imperial Village is a stone mountain, rich in strange stones, until the guards dug up that small piece of sweet potatoes, Ye Ling and the courtiers could hardly believe that so many sweet potatoes could grow on a stone mountain with not very fertile soil.
As Ye Qiu said, several sweet potatoes can grow on a vine, and each sweet potato is round and full, which is enough for a family of three to feed for a day.
"God bless Dachen, God bless my emperor!" The two prime ministers and the head of the household knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, "My emperor is Shengming." ”
Ye Ling laughed, even he felt that God was blessing him, otherwise why would he find such an important grain as "sweet potato" in Huangzhuang!
"Your Majesty, my subordinates also found this crop." One of the guards presented a vine with a series of round fruits, slightly smaller than the sweet potato, and earthy yellow in color.
Ye Ling and the courtiers realized that this might be another food crop, and it was later verified by the imperial chef that this fruit was not only edible, but also tasted very good, because it grew out of the soil, and was later named "potato" by Ye Ling.
Seeing that the sweet potatoes and potatoes were being planted by Ye Ling non-stop, Ye Qiu nodded with satisfaction, and it was not in vain that he worked hard to transplant these things out of the space, and in order to make them grow faster, he also poured a lot of spiritual spring water.
Because the Huangzhuang belonged to Ye Qiu, and the sweet potato was also discovered by Ye Qiu first, in order to compensate the imperial brother, Ye Ling expanded Ye Qiu's fief again.
This dynasty continues the practice of the previous dynasty, once the adult prince becomes an adult, he will go to the fief, Ye Qiu's fief is close to the sea, the climate is warm and humid, and the products are abundant, it is originally an excellent territory, and now Ye Ling has expanded his fief again, which shows the favor of this youngest brother.
Ye Qiu didn't think of this, now his fief has expanded a circle, which proves that his fief is already next to the King of the South.
Nanwang is the youngest brother of the first emperor, and is also the uncle of Ye Ling and Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu's grandfather Emperor Wen was very fond of this little son when he was reborn, and it was rumored that if it wasn't for the death of Emperor Wen, Nanwang was too young, and it would not be the turn of the first emperor to succeed to the throne.
And King Nan didn't know if he had listened to the rumors, he had always thought that this throne should be his, so he had been planning a rebellion, planting people around Ye Qiu to provoke the relationship with Ye Ling, and slandering Ye Ling after the drought The rumors were all from his masterpieces.
"Lord Wang, your imperial village was requisitioned by the emperor like this?" After two months, Li Xiaolian has passed the training of the grandmothers, and because she studied hard, she successfully stayed by Ye Qiu's side.
"Hmm." Ye Qiu replied casually, teasing the tiger cubs sent by the people with great interest.
Li Xiaolian looked at Ye Qiu's embarrassed appearance with some contempt, but she was a trained person, no matter how much she thought about it, she would not show it, she was still thinking about the task given to her from above, she was just a little cub, how could she escape from the palm of her hand?
"Then where are we going to go out of the palace in the future? The emperor too, since the requisition of His Royal Highness's Imperial Village, he should compensate for another one, and this little tiger cub, also need a place to run, the slave maid heard that the tiger can really grow in the mountains and forests, and when it grows up, His Royal Highness should ride it so majestic! ”
Li Xiaolian's words are all for Ye Qiu's sake, if a simple-minded child may really be coaxed by her, maybe every boy wants to ride a majestic tiger!
"Bold!" Ye Qiu suddenly shouted angrily, not only did Li Xiaolian kneel on the ground in fright, but even Gonggong Gui and the guards outside the door also knelt down one after another.
"How dare you slander the royal brother." Ye Qiu glared at Li Xiaolian, "Twenty palms." ”
Li Xiaolian was also simple, she didn't expect that when Ye Qiu, a six or seven-year-old child, had such deep feelings for the emperor, she confessed her mistake while clapping her mouth: "The slave is guilty, ask the prince for forgiveness." ”
After that, Ye Qiu snubbed Li Xiaolian for several days, but later reused her because of some small animals she had woven with grass.
From the beginning, Ye Qiu didn't think about killing Li Xiaolian all at once, otherwise wouldn't he be sorry for her and the people behind her?
And after that, Li Xiaolian was also more cautious in her words and deeds, while delivering news to the outside of the palace, while knocking on the side to discord Ye Qiu's favor towards the emperor, although the effect was not significant, but it successfully aroused Li Xiaolian's confidence.
She said, how could King An, a child who only knows how to be naughty, escape from the palm of her hand?
And what she didn't know was that Ye Qiu had the intention to show her all this, and when she didn't know it, he was still the naughty royal brother who could be coquettish on the thighs of the imperial brother.
