Chapter 14: Trading with the Emperor

"Xiaoyue is indeed sick, but it is not so serious, her wife does not know the severity, and she is also afraid of offending Her Royal Highness the princess, and I ask my father-in-law to tell the princess, and tomorrow I will come to the door with a cheap person to apologize."

Murong Lin has always been lonely, when will he whisper to people like this,

Hearing this, Feng Xiaoyue also hurriedly got out of bed and bowed her head; "The woman doesn't know the depths, she has no intention of offending Princess Zhaoyang, and she asks her father-in-law to go back and say a few good words."

On the side, Xiao Yu stuffed a lot of silver taels to the eunuch who passed the message in a timely manner, but the eunuch hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

"The princess, it's not that our family refuses to help you, it's just that you offended this time, but the princess who the emperor favors at the tip of his heart, no matter how faceless our family is, it is impossible to change the princess's mind."

The eunuch straightened up and shook off the dust: "When our family goes back, we will tell Her Royal Highness the princess the facts, the prince, the princess, ask for more blessings." ”

The crowd left in a majestic manner, Feng Xiaoyue pinched the edge of her clothes, and her face was solemn.

Murong Lin asked all the people in the room to retreat, and slowly paced to Feng Xiaoyue's side. He thought that Feng Xiaoyue was scared, and wanted to reach out and pat her shoulder to give her some comfort.

He leaned in his ear and whispered to Feng Xiaoyue, "Don't worry, I won't let you have anything to do." ”

Feng Xiaoyue looked up at him, rarely heard him talk to himself so seriously, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, I won't let myself have trouble." ”

Her knowledge and experience, Li Wang has already seen a part of it. As a king, she wants her country to be stronger and more prosperous, and this is her opportunity.

When the eunuch entered the palace, Princess Zhaoyang immediately couldn't wait to report Feng Xiaoyue's pretending illness to the emperor. Murong Si was impatient and immediately ordered Murong Lin to enter the palace.

"Don't be afraid, I'll go with you."

Seeing that Feng Xiaoyue seemed to be very nervous, Murong Lin couldn't help but hold Feng Xiaoyue's hand, Feng Xiaoyue glanced at him and didn't make a sound.

When they arrived at the palace, a eunuch came to tell them to kneel in the side hall. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Murong Si was supported by Princess Zhaoyang.

Feng Xiaoyue glanced at the emperor quietly, although Murong Si was old, the calculation in those eyes had not diminished in the slightest over the years.

Even at the princess's wedding banquet that day, I didn't see how much sincerity he could have for his daughter.

Murong Si sat on the throne and looked condescendingly at the two kneeling on the ground.

"What is your crime of deceiving the princess?"

He didn't make a decision himself, but asked Feng Xiaoyue to dispose of himself. Princess Zhaoyang didn't know what she meant, thinking that Murong Si was going to take it lightly, and tugged on the emperor's sleeve vigorously. Murong Si was so impatient by her that he had to pat her hand to appease her.

"Your Majesty, Humble Jing did not mean to deceive, and I hope Your Majesty will be aware of it." Murong Lin spoke first to Feng Xiaoyue.

No matter what the emperor intends to do, he only asks for mercy and agrees, and he can't punish too much.

The emperor was silent, and Princess Zhaoyang pointed at them and scolded: "Last time, I sent someone to prevaricate me in the name of illness, if it wasn't for this princess to send the imperial doctor to check, I am afraid that I will be kept in the dark by you, and I dare to say that I am not deliberately deceiving." ”

"Princess Qiyu," Feng Xiaoyue bowed her head and said calmly: "At that time, the courtiers were indeed infected with cough disease, but they were afraid of infecting the princess, so they had to push it off." The courtier's guilt is small, but the princess's illness is great, and I ask Your Majesty and the princess to forgive the sin. ”

"You are talking nonsense, this princess was born in the royal family, and she is blessed by heaven, so why not be afraid of this little cough." Saying that, Princess Zhaoyang almost wanted to come down and walk in front of Feng Xiaoyue to teach a lesson, but Murong Si looked at it at a glance and didn't dare to make another mistake.

"The princess is cautious." Feng Xiaoyue lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

Only then did Princess Zhaoyang notice that Murong Si's face had changed, and immediately knelt down: "The son lost his words for a while, and I hope that my father will forgive me." ”

Murong Si snorted lightly and ordered, "Dequan, please ask the princess and the prince to step down." ”

"Father." Princess Zhaoyang panicked and hurriedly pulled the hem of Murong Si's clothes.

The old eunuch named Dequan walked up to her and spoke in a strange voice: "Princess, please." ”

Murong Lin glanced at Feng Xiaoyue worriedly, and Feng Xiaoyue nodded slightly, signaling that he didn't have to worry.

"But you are bold, and are you not afraid that I will punish you for your sins?" Murong Si sighed and picked up a cup of tea, and water vapor rose from the wall of the cup.

Feng Xiaoyue knelt on the ground and looked up at the hem of Murong Si's clothes slightly.

"The courtiers know that they are guilty, but the courtiers want to live, so they dare to make a deal with Your Majesty."

"I am the Son of Heaven, and the whole world is not the king's land. What's more, you are the daughter of a merchant, how can you be qualified to make a deal with me? Murong Si sneered, disdainful of her.

"The people regard food as the sky, and although the courtiers do not understand political affairs, they also know that this food is important to the people."

This remark aroused Murong Si's interest.

"Tell me about it."

Feng Xiaoyue first bowed her head and kowtowed, and then said: "In recent years, there have been quite a lot of refugees, and many of them have starved to death because of lack of food. ”

"I have a lot of land and resources, but there are still people who can't eat, not because the people are lazy to farm, but because the yield per mu is too small."

"There is not only one kind of grain in this world that can be used to satisfy the stomach, the courtiers were in the mountains with their fathers, and they found several kinds of plants, which are not only edible, but can yield more than 700 kilograms per mu as long as they are properly cultivated."

Hearing this, Murong Si was also a little touched, the people are the foundation of the country, as long as the number of refugees decreases and the people are rich, the treasury will naturally be full and the army will be strong.

"The yield per mu is 700 kilograms, what a big breath, do you have real evidence." Even if he was tempted, he still had to try Feng Xiaoyue's depth.

In this era, Feng Xiaoyue has no way to make immortal crops like hybrid rice, but as for the rest, she is still a little sure.

"Not only food, but also oil and makeup. As long as His Majesty gives him a chance, the courtiers will not let His Majesty down. ”

Murong Si asked, "What do you want?" ”

Feng Xiaoyue bowed her head again: "I beg Your Majesty to let the courtiers go back to the house and forgive the courtiers for their unintentional mistakes." ”

"Huh." Murong Si laughed a few times, then brushed his sleeves and left, acquiescing.

Murong Lin waited outside for a long time before he saw the eunuch leading Feng Xiaoyue out.

"Congratulations, you and the princess can go home." The eunuch was ordered to send the two of them out of the palace.

Murong Lin pulled Feng Xiaoyue and said nervously, "How are you." ”

"Go back and talk about it." Feng Xiaoyue whispered and got into the carriage with his support.

After a few days, there was no news in the palace, and Feng Xiaoyue has been busy recently. Murong Lin was unwilling to be lonely and came to Feng Xiaoyue.

"If it weren't for this son of the world this time, you wouldn't know how Princess Zhaoyang would retaliate, whatever, did you have a secret promise to your family officials?"

Feng Xiaoyue was startled, choking and coughing, and Xiao Yu also covered her mouth and snickered.

Murong Lin's face turned pale, and he was in a hurry to expel Xiao Yu and the other maids out of the door.

Feng Xiaoyue only thought he was joking, and didn't take it seriously, just looked down at the things in his hand.
