Chapter Twenty-Five: I Will Plant Rice

What Su Youyi never expected was that the farming that she had never learned when she was most impoverished would actually learn it after entering the palace.

The eldest prince looked at her with sparkling eyes, "Aunt Su, planting rice must be fun, right?" Let's get started now! ”

He said that the wind is the rain, Su Youyi hurriedly bent over and hugged him, "The eldest prince, wait, let me take care of it." ”

The eldest prince looked at her puzzled, she cleaned up the house and changed her clothes yesterday, she didn't think about it, but today is just planting rice, what are you doing?

Su Youyi raised her head stubbornly and looked at Xiao Kizi, Shuya and the others, "That...... Which of you will grow rice? ”

Burst.

Everyone couldn't help laughing, it turned out that Su Youyi was embarrassed by this.

Xiao Kizi originally wanted to stand up, but after thinking about it, he retreated, "The slave entered the palace at the age of ten, and he planted rice at home before he was ten years old. But at that time, I was young, and I may not have learned it right. ”

When I was a child, I just had the ability to do whatever I wanted, but I can't teach the eldest prince, what if there is a problem with teaching, and the emperor blames it?

He looked at Xiao Maozi and Xiao Zhuzi behind him, and both of them shook their heads, "Don't look at us, we also entered the palace since we were children, and we will be able to plant rice, but we don't dare to say that we can teach the eldest prince." ”

When they said this, Shuya, who was still laughing at Su Youyi, was also embarrassed, "The slave maid has planted rice at home, but I am my daughter's family, and I rarely go to the ridge, but I am afraid that I will not learn carefully......"

Su Youyi looked at Cuiwei at the end, Cuiwei looked embarrassed, "Before the slave maid entered the palace, she was the daughter of a merchant, and even the rice was the first time she saw it." ”

After she enters the palace, she can be divided into the queen's Changchun. Gong, naturally, is a person with some family backgrounds, and he doesn't understand farming like Su Youyi.

Su Youyi scratched her forehead, "So, none of you can teach the eldest prince, why are you laughing at me?" ”

The crowd couldn't help but laugh again.

Shuya said stupidly: "Because my aunt can do everything on weekdays, she is good at everything, but the simplest rice planting can't, we are all very strange, and we don't dare to laugh at my aunt." ”

Su Youyi looked helpless, it was not easy to find an expert in rice cultivation in the palace, so she could only use Xiao Jizi and a few stinkers as Zhuge Liang.

Her eyes lit up, "That's it, you four-" Slender Jade pointed at Xiao Jizi and Xiao Maozi and Xiao Zhuzi behind him, and Shuya, "Take out all your methods of planting rice, discuss them together, work together, and you will definitely be able to summarize the most suitable method to teach the Great Prince, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Then dare to be kind, everyone will discuss it together, and you will not be afraid of mistakes!"

……

The next day, everyone stepped on a fertile place in the backyard, where some flowers and plants were originally planted, and Su Youyi ordered people to move all the flowers and plants to other places, leaving a huge place.

The eldest prince changed into his clothes with great interest, and was dumbfounded when he arrived in the backyard, "Aunt Su, do you have to use such a large piece of land to grow rice?" ”

Su Youyi, Xiao Jizi and the others were gesturing in the field, and when they heard the voice of the eldest prince, they hurriedly greeted them, "Yes, didn't the eldest prince say yesterday that he wanted to go out of the palace to have a look?" And lo and behold—"

Su Youyi pointed behind him, and saw a high fence enclosing it, covering the palace house behind him, and the fence emitted the fragrance of bamboo.

The eldest prince stood in the field, surrounded by bamboo fences, making people think that he was no longer in the palace in a trance.

Su Youyi said with a smile: "The eldest prince thinks of this as a field on the shore of Peng Li, we are the little farmers of His Excellency King Teng, okay?" ”

"Okay!"

The eldest prince flew around the field, as if this was really a field outside the palace, not a place in the palace.

Xiao Kiko came over with the rice seedlings, first released water to irrigate the ground, and the water flowed down the ditch dug in the field, and the shoes of the eldest prince were instantly covered with wet mud.

Su Youyi also stepped in with her skirt, one big and one small stepped on the mud in the ground, the eldest prince was a little unable to let go at first, but when he saw Su Youyi playing so freely, he slowly relaxed.

"Bah."

The eldest prince stepped on it too hard, and a wet and soft mud was suddenly splashed three feet high, splashing his own and Su Youyi's clothes all over the mud.

Xiao Jizi hurriedly caught up, "Prince, aunt, go back and change your clothes!" ”

Su Youyi said: "You don't have to change it, how can you farm without staining your clothes?" It's good to wash your clothes when they're dirty, what do you say, the eldest prince? ”

The eldest prince snorted mischievously, and stepped on the position at Xiao Kiko's feet, and the mud suddenly splashed.

I originally wanted to splash Xiao Kiko's body, but I didn't expect that Xiao Kiko only got a little bit on his body, and there was more mud on the eldest prince's body.

Xiao Jizi didn't hold back a sneer, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to let the eldest prince see that he was laughing at him.

The eldest prince had already seen it, "You all don't have to be clean, and you are long-winded, hurry up and change into convenient clothes, do you look like you are working?" ”

The two people who couldn't work stood dirty in the field, and those who could work stood by cleanly, and the prince hurriedly dragged them into the water.

Shuya said: "Otherwise, the slave won't go down, and you have to leave a cleanly clothed person to serve tea and pour water, right?" ”

The eldest prince laughed and took a water bladder from the fence, "What do you think this is?" How can there be a farmer who grows rice and someone who pours tea and water, don't lie to me! ”

Shuya has nothing to answer, how can the eldest prince learn to grow rice, how can he be the same as the peasants outside the palace?

The emperor and his ministers were discussing disaster relief in the river in the imperial study, and suddenly remembered that he had asked the princes to plant rice on a whim.

"Who will grow rice, Aiqing?"

The ministers were discussing the disaster relief, and suddenly heard the emperor ask such a sentence inexplicably, and immediately looked at each other.

Most of the ministers of the court and the central government were born in scholarly families or princely families, and there were very few children from poor families, so few people really knew how to grow rice.

After a moment of silence, a young man behind Elder Li Ge stood up, his white and slender hand arched, and his posture was very good-looking, "Go back to the emperor, the ministers." ”

The emperor saw that it was Ji Yushen, the new science detective, and Li Ge's old son-in-law.

This man came from a humble but talented background, and now he is temporarily living in the Hanlin Academy, which is the only way to advance to the cabinet that has been passed down through the generations.

was already valued by the emperor, but today he is in the limelight again, and everyone secretly says in their hearts that he will become a climate in the future.

The emperor didn't say anything, just nodded, and when the ministers left, he summoned Gao Qishou for questioning.

"What's going on with the eldest prince?"

The emperor asked the eldest prince with one mouth, Gao Qishou didn't know if he cared about the eldest prince or Su Youyi?

After thinking about it, he still told the situation of the two people, "Back to the emperor, the eldest prince has already cultivated the field, and it is in the backyard of his residence. It's just that Aunt Su is the daughter of a scholar and doesn't know how to farm. Yesterday, when the slave ordered someone to inquire, I heard that Aunt Su was ordering a few little palace maids and little eunuchs to discuss the method of planting rice, and I didn't know if it could be done. ”

The emperor's usual serious face showed a faint smile, "This girl can't do it, but it's hard for me." ”

Gao Qishou pondered the emperor's tone and said tentatively: "That...... Do you want the slave to send a man who can grow rice to teach the prince? ”

Someone who can grow rice?

The corners of the emperor's robe were lifted, "Won't I be able to grow rice?" ”
