The cotton planted at the beginning of the cloud has already bloomed, and the white flowers are blooming in layers on the cotton tree, which is very beautiful.

After another half a month, these flowers will turn reddish-brown and gradually wither, leaving behind small green capsules, called cotton bolls.

There are cotton seeds inside the cotton boll, and the hairs on the cotton seed grow from the skin of the cotton seed and fill the inside of the cotton boll, which splits when it matures, revealing soft fibers. The fiber is white or white with yellow, which is the cotton needed at the beginning of the cloud.

Although the cotton was drought-stricken and flooded again by this summer's terrible weather, God forbid, neither disaster caused fundamental damage to the cotton. It's growing very well.

Now that the cotton has bloomed, it is the most important time for cotton field management, whether it is Yun Chu or Liu Renliang, they are willing to stay in the field and watch.

In fact, only this excuse could make the two of them leave Chang'an and avoid saluting Wu Mei at the ceremony where Li Zhi canonized Wu Mei as the queen.

However, this kind of behavior is extremely naïve, even if you avoid it this time, there will be a next time, and you can't avoid it anyway.

Now hiding in the cotton field, greatness is just a kind of comfort in the heart.

Liu Renliang really disagreed with Li Zhi's establishment of Wu Mei as the empress, not that he was unwilling to salute Wu Mei.

Yun Chu knew that if he saluted Wu Mei now, he might encounter a reckoning in the future, which was the reason why he refused to stay in Chang'an City.

Even if the two have different starting points and are unwilling to enter Chang'an City, they are the same.

"When do you think this cotton will grow?"

Yun Chu couldn't remember clearly, this was the first time Liu Renliang asked him this question.

"It will take another month and a half, when the cotton peaches will bloom, and that is when the cotton fields are at their most beautiful."

"How much do you think the harvest in the cotton fields is worse than we expected?"

"Don't worry, everything looks going well so far."

"The Ministry of Rites has begun to build a high platform in front of the Taiji Palace, and at the same time, the Qujiang River has also begun to ram earth to build an altar.

I don't understand, Your Majesty is just the queen, why do you want to make such a big move?"

"I think it might be for the eldest grandson Wuji."

Liu Renliang sighed and said, "Your Majesty will really move the eldest grandson Wuji?" If he moves, it may shake the country's foundation. ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "Compared with shaking the national foundation, I think Your Majesty cares more about the monopoly of power."

Liu Renliang sighed and said: "Chu Suiliang arrived in Tanzhou with his whole family, and today His Majesty issued an edict saying that Chu Suiliang was disrespectful in the performance, and was once again belittled in Guizhou.

If Your Majesty doesn't like Chu Suiliang, for the sake of his life of hard work for the Tang Dynasty, let him return to his hometown for a stable life, why bother to belittle Guizhou again, with his age, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to his hometown after old age.

Yun Chu sighed and said, "Guizhou is far from the end of Chu Suiliang's reprimand."

Liu Renliang was taken aback and said: "Guizhou is already far away in the sky, where miasma is rampant, the land is far away, where else can I get it?"

Yun Chu said leisurely: "Actually, I like this place in Guizhou, I used to hear people say that the landscape of Guizhou is the best in the world, if you can go to see the style there in this life, it must be an excellent thing."

"You mean, Chu Suiliang's mentality is wrong?"

"That's right, since you've failed, then pretend to be dead and don't say a word, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

He kept accusing His Majesty of wronging him like this, sorry for him, with His Majesty's temperament, it was strange not to denounce him to Aizhou. ”

Liu Renliang waved his hand and said: "Aizhou is in Jiaozhi, even if Your Majesty is excessive, it is impossible to treat Chu Suiliang like this."

Yun Chu smiled slightly, did not argue, turned his gaze to the cotton field again, and said in a low voice: "Actually, everything is fake, I only believe in the things that grow in the land now, only this thing is real."

Just when Yun Chu and Liu Renliang were drinking tea in the cotton field like two big injustices and complaining about today's current affairs, Yu Xiurong, as an official woman, was dressing up and preparing to participate in the queen's enthronement ceremony.

Yun Chu's grade is the sixth grade, and the grade of the Tang Dynasty's life woman comes to an abrupt end when it reaches the level of the fifth grade.

Yu Xiurong originally thought that she would not have her share in such a dignified thing as entering the Tai Chi official to participate in the ceremony, but this time, there was a will, and the wives of officials above the sixth rank could also be present to watch the ceremony.

The wives of the Tang Dynasty are divided into the first rank of the country lady, the third rank and above are the county lady, the fourth rank is the county king, the fifth rank is the county king, and the sixth rank is nothing.

Wu Mei's sister is Mrs. Wei Guo, her short-lived niece is Mrs. Korea, everyone is Mrs. Yipinguo, and Wu Mei herself is just a second-class Zhaoyi.

According to the grade, Yu Xiurong is not qualified to bring Jin Buyao and Feng Hai.

However, this point is not a big problem for her, because there are heads and faces rewarded by the palace at home, although these heads and noodles are not as good as those made at home, but if she wants to wear these on big occasions, she can only bring these things that are rewarded, and only these heads and faces, regardless of the grade.

Compared with Yu Xiurong in a hurry, Naha seems much calmer, because people can also go to Tai Chi to participate in Wu Mei's post-sealing ceremony, and Wu Mei personally invited her.

Of course, Naha naturally can't get Wu Mei's post, but the post is for Master Xuanzang, so Naha, as the only boy next to Master Xuanzang, will naturally participate, and after Xuanzang prays for the emperor and the queen and his wife, wet the emperor with willow branches dipped in water, and the queen's upper. In July, Naha already had melons to eat, and the melons she ate were sent by the old monkeys who had already gone to Hexi, and the merchants of the Tohu people were halfway there.

This is also a new kind of melon, the skin is white, the pulp is green, and it tastes crunchy, like gnawing a cucumber, but in addition to maintaining the crispness of the cucumber, it is also sweet and fragrant.

Yu Xiurong, who had just washed her hair, smelled the fragrance of the melon, so she unceremoniously snatched the remaining half of the melon from her sister-in-law, ate it in two bites, and clicked on Naha's eyebrows.

"Why don't you think about your sister-in-law for such a delicious thing, people are pregnant with Liujia, so they want to eat a little melon."

Naha roared and was about to run, so she heard Yu Xiurong say slowly: "You remember, the child in my belly has the same surname as you, and you just treat me badly, why don't you even feel sorry for your little nephew and niece?"

Naha was pinched to death by Yu Xiurong, this kind of crispy melon is very rare, even if it is an old monkey, she only got eight for Naha, she ate three in one go, and just now she ate another one, there are only four left, and Naha took it all back to Yu Xiurong.

Yu Xiurong let Erfei wash one, she carefully pulled out the seeds in the melon, took a bite of the melon fiercely, and said to Naha: "Tomorrow's ceremony, the maid or something is not allowed to enter, my belly is big, it is inconvenient, after you finish serving Master Xuanzang, you will hurry over and hold me, I think if it takes a long time, I may not be able to stand."

Naha said angrily: "Tomorrow must be a crowded scene, otherwise you don't go, your belly is so big, if something goes wrong, I will see how you will explain to your brother then."

Yu Xiurong stroked his belly and said, "How can you not go, your brother ran away, if I don't go, people still think that our family has any opinions on the queen."

Besides, our family has a good relationship with the royal family, and there is a daughter born to the queen at home.

If someone else's house doesn't go, it may not be conspicuous, but if our family doesn't go, the queen may hold a grudge. ”

Naha watched Yu Xiurong gnaw the melon, took a sip of saliva and said, "Okay, I'll come to you after I'm done tomorrow."

Actually, I don't think anyone will be able to remember if you go tomorrow, after all, there are too many six-grade officials in the capital, and there are too many wives. ”

After Yu Xiurong finished eating the melon, he pulled out a handkerchief from Naha's sleeve, wiped it on his mouth indiscriminately, and threw the handkerchief to Naha and said, "Anyway, you come over early." After attending the ceremony, we have to go to the Imperial Medical Department and ask Mr. Fu to help me take the pulse. When the time comes, you will accompany me. ”

Since Yu Xiurong became pregnant, Naha, who has no status at home, had no choice but to nod her head and agree, she really didn't want anything to happen to her little nephew and niece.

Seeing that Naha was leaving quickly, Cui Shi complained about Yu Xiu on the side.

"How can a sister-in-law grind her sister-in-law like this, in case a grudge comes, I'll see how you end up."

Yu Xiurong said lazily: "Naha, this child is a very good-hearted child, all these years he likes his brother, Grandpa Shi is spoiled, Master Xuanzang is protected, and he refuses to use his brain to do anything."

Thought that everyone was a good person

This is not going to happen.

I also heard from my husband that Grandpa Shi went to the Western Regions this time, preparing to destroy a country and get Naha a princess.

Although she is a princess of a small country, she can be regarded as having a name that can be used at that time. ”

Cui Shi frowned and said: "The name of Princess Fanbang is not good in Datang, right?" Are there still fewer princesses from the Western Regions and the grasslands over the years?

I heard that there are many princesses in the palace who dance for nobles, and the reputation of the Tang people and Buddhist girls is 10,000 times better than that of the princess of Fanbang. ”

Yu Xiurong sighed and said: "I heard that my husband didn't say that, Grandpa Shi didn't just give Naha a princess name, maybe he would make a country with people, territory, and cities."

Then, in the name of this country, he went to the Western Regions, and when he encountered a tribe or country that refused to believe in Buddhism, he would start fighting. ”

Cui Shi said cautiously: "In other words, Naha has a name, and she doesn't really need to go to the Western Regions to be the female lord, right?"

"No, this child has been living too smoothly and comfortably so far, and if she is allowed to develop her big temperament, she may suffer a big loss in the future.

As a sister-in-law, I naturally want to try her a little more. ”

Cui Shi said disdainfully: "I see, you just want to eat melons with Naha, why did you say such a big bunch of truths?"

Yu Xiurong laughed and said, "You don't know, bully, bully Naha, this day's hot days are all better."
