The next morning, Lin Ruan opened his eyes and was shocked to realize that he had fallen asleep last night.

When I sat up from the bed, I found that I didn't feel much discomfort on my body.

This really surprised her, she had been riding the horse for four or five days, and her body had been sore for the past few days, but last night she let the maid press it, and the effect was so obvious.

The maidservant girl outside the door heard movement in the house, knocked on the door, and said, "Girl, are you up?" ”

Lin Ruan responded: "Get up, get up." ”

The maidservants lined up with clothes and hot water to come in, waiting for Lin Ruan to change and freshen up.

Lin Ruan enjoyed the service of beautiful girls again, and he was a little addicted.

The maidservants were dexterous and agile, and it didn't take long for Lin Ruan to clean up properly, and even her hair was combed delicately and beautifully.

Lin Ruan was very satisfied, why did she always feel that it was a very troublesome thing for someone to serve her before? She couldn't have been more wrong!

As soon as it was cleaned up here, a little maid brought breakfast over there.

There weren't many dishes for breakfast, but they were so exquisite that Lin Ruan, a person who thought she had seen a lot of the world, couldn't help but sigh again and again, she couldn't bear to eat such a beautiful and exquisite meal.

But when Lin Ruan ate it, he couldn't help but want to get another one.

When she was in He Mansion before, she felt that the life in He Mansion was very luxurious, but compared with Xiao Jingchen's Mansion, it was really a big difference.

Lin Ruan sighed while eating, it is really the happiness of a rich person, and most people can't imagine it!

After the meal, Lin Ruan asked, "Can Xiao Ye be in the house?" ”

The maidservant replied respectfully: "The prince went to the court early in the morning, and before leaving, he told that if the girl was bored, she could go to all parts of the house." Does the girl want to go out and see? Our palace is beautifully built. ”

Lin Ruan thought that he would have nothing to do anyway, so he nodded: "Then it will be troublesome for the girl to lead the way." ”

The maidservant didn't dare to answer, and led Lin Ruan out of the door.

The palace is indeed quite beautiful and exquisitely built, but it does not lose its grandeur and dignity.

Lin Ruan felt that he was quite knowledgeable, but in this mansion, he was still shocked several times.

Walking down in a circle, Lin Ruan couldn't help but sigh, the area of this palace is also too large.

The girl who came out with her was very understanding, and when she saw that Lin Ruan had been gone for a long time, she said, "The girl is tired?" Why don't you go to the gazebo over there? I asked someone to bring some tea to quench the girl's thirst. ”

Lin Ruan is also a person who will not wronged herself, and when she heard her arrange this, she smiled and thanked her, and raised her feet into the pavilion next to her.

The pavilion is built on the surface of the lake, and the lotus flowers are planted in the lake, which is in full bloom at this time, and the breeze blows the fragrance of lotus, which makes people intoxicated.

Looking into the distance, Lin Ruan saw a row of beautifully built houses on the other side of the lake, so he asked Yahuan, "What is the place over there?" ”

Yahuan responded: "Back to the girl, there is the hometown of the eldest princess and the general, and their tablets are enshrined in it." Every time the prince came back from a long trip, he had to stay there for a while. ”

Lin Ruan was very surprised: "What about last night?" ”

Yahuan nodded: "Last night, the prince stayed inside until midnight before coming out." ”

Lin Ruan remembered what Liang Twelve had said before, he said that Xiao Jingchen had never gotten out of the pain of losing his mother, at that time she only cared about helping Zhou Lian'er inquire about Xiao Jingchen's marriage matching, and did not pay too much attention to this, now listening to this girl, I can't help but sigh in my heart, a person who is so cold on the outside, is so soft in his heart, it is really unbelievable.

And the inside of the palace.

After the emperor went down, he carried Xiao Jingchen to the imperial study.

"Chen'er came back this time, did you bring the peasant girl named Lin Ruan?"

Xiao Jingchen replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, I have already brought it, and I am in the minister's mansion at the moment, waiting for Your Majesty's summons at any time." ”

The emperor attached great importance to Lin Ruan, so he said, "Tomorrow morning, bring her." In addition, the sweet potato is also brought. You go to see your grandmother first, she has a hard summer these days, her appetite is not very good, and she misses you every day. You go over and coax her to get her to eat more. ”

Xiao Jingchen responded, exited the imperial study, and turned around to go to the Queen Mother's Yong'an Palace.

The Queen Mother is a very bitter summer person, and when it comes to summer, her appetite is not good, and she is very thin.

Xiao Jingchen saw that the Queen Mother's cheeks had obviously decreased, and his brows locked.

The Queen Mother glared unhappily: "Look at you like that, as if my old woman's time is running out." ”

Mama Hong hurriedly snorted twice: "The Queen Mother is going to live a thousand years." ”

The Queen Mother gave her a blank look: "If I can really live a thousand years, then I will become an old monster." ”

Xiao Jingchen saw that the Queen Mother was in good spirits, and immediately felt a lot more relieved: "Grandma can live a thousand years old, that is an old fairy." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "This trip seems to have learned a lot of sweetness." Come over and let grandma take a look, it seems to have a lot of tan. However, the man's family is more angry when it is dark. ”

No matter whether Xiao Jingchen is black or white, or fat or thin, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, he is the best.

"I heard that this time your uncle asked you to do an errand, is it to take a girl back to Beijing?"

Xiao Jingchen nodded: "Grandma's strawberry seedlings are from her." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately became interested: "It turned out to be her, what new thing did she toss up this time, and it makes your uncle want to see her?" ”

Xiao Jingchen replied: "A high-yield crop called sweet potato, it is said that it can yield up to three or four thousand catties per mu. ”

The Queen Mother was shocked: "Is this true?" ”

Xiao Jingchen replied very conservatively: "It's not sure yet, but I think it's very credible." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, a burst of excitement flashed in her eyes: "If this is the case, then the people of Li in my Great Zhou will be blessed." ”

Although the Queen Mother has always lived in the palace and never asked about the affairs of the previous dynasty, it does not mean that she knows nothing about the affairs of the world. On the contrary, the Queen Mother grew up in the countryside and knew a lot about the people's suffering.

So after her son inherited the unification, she also raised some questions about people's livelihood to the emperor many times, and even asked the emperor to exempt some taxes to make the burden of the people smaller.

It's just that these don't solve the underlying problem.

The low grain output and the fact that the common people cannot eat enough have always been the most troublesome thing for those in power in all dynasties. The Great Zhou Dynasty has been trying to find ways to improve, and has set up some institutions in agriculture, but with little success.

The fundamental reason is that there are few types of grain and low yield, but it is really not easy to solve these problems.

So when the Queen Mother heard that Lin Ruan had a high-yield crop, she was immediately excited. "When did your uncle summon her?"

"Tomorrow."

The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "After your uncle summons her tomorrow, you will bring her to the mourning family, and the mourning family will personally ask about the sweet potato." ”

Xiao Jingchen responded and told Mama Hong to get some food, and he wanted to accompany the Queen Mother to eat something.
