Many affairs in the imperial court, snowflakes-like twists and turns poured into the capital, and many of them were for him to personally see.

The exchanges between countries and the various policies need to be carefully thought about before they can be decided.

In particular, I heard that since the spring of this year, there has not been a drop of rain in Ludi, and there are signs of a major drought......

When the emperor came in, the queen smelled menthol oil.

Her husband is also very tired.

----

In April, the warbler flies and the grass grows.

After a few spring rains, except for the cold in the morning and evening, the sun is already shining at noon, and there is a bit of early summer.

In the field, the wheat seedlings have grown extremely tall and begin to joint, and in the following months, the wheat will go through heading, flowering, ripening and harvesting.

This is the time when farmers are most concerned about the condition of their fields.

Food is the foundation of the country, which determines whether the country can be stable, so the household department is also very busy these days.

Collect the growth status of grain everywhere, check the rainfall situation everywhere, and even put forward a new idea in front of He Yanxiu in front of the emperor.

We collect high-quality wheat and rice seeds from various places and grow them in a mixed manner to see if we can grow seeds of better quality that combine the advantages of all seeds.

If the seeds are good, the food will be better.

The emperor admired and agreed with He Yanxiu's proposal, and entrusted him with full responsibility for the matter, and even instructed the officials of various state capitals to cooperate.

He Yanxiu also sent people to find some old farmers with considerable planting experience, who were responsible for cultivating these seeds found from all over the place in order to achieve the best results.

After being so busy for a few days, a letter came from the border gate.

It was sent by Wu Xingyu to send it, and the content was about him inquiring about Lou Yanlin and Lou Yansong's brothers.

[In view of the general environment,

Since Wu Xingyu arrived at the border pass, he had time to inquire about the status of the two brothers, and it took two months, but the final result was still surprising.

In Xueyue Mansion, there is indeed a family surnamed Lou, and as Su Yujin described, it is a family that makes spices.

It's just that this family surnamed Lou is not the same as the situation of Lou Yanlin's family, it is a couple with no children and no daughters, only one nephew occasionally comes to visit, and the couple has moved out a few years ago, and the house is left to the nephew, who doesn't know spices, just a showman who reads.

In addition, in the entire Xueyue Mansion, there is no family with the surname Lou similar to Lou Yanlin, and Wu Xingyu even found the prefect, and searched through the household registration register in the entire mansion city, and never found the names of Lou Yanlin and Lou Yansong.

At the end of the letter, Wu Xingyu asked if he remembered the wrong place or name.

"That's pretty much it." He Yanxiu said in a deep voice, "Brother Knowles, it shouldn't be from Xueyue Mansion."

Maybe they didn't have the surname Lou originally.

"But......" Su Yujin's face was full of questions, "why did they lie?"

And I kept in touch with her, and I sent things over every once in a while, as if to report peace.

Are you afraid that she will be worried?

Since he was afraid that she would be worried, it showed that the Knowles brothers valued their friendship with her.

But since he values it, he told such a big lie......

"Probably, is there something unspeakable?" He Yanxiu said in a deep voice, "Looking at Lou Yanlin's bearing, he is not like the son of an ordinary family, and he is so deliberately trying to hide his identity, which can only show that he has a reason to be like this."

"Probably......" Su Yujin felt a little headache.

Things that can't be figured out are easy to make people uncomfortable.

In particular, there are a lot of worries in it.

"Grandmother is not in good health during this time, you and your mother are with you every day, you are already very tired, I have asked Wu Xingyu to investigate and inquire carefully, don't think about these things for the time being."

He Yanxiu helped Su Yujin with the soft pillow on the couch

laid it out, helped her lie down, "You take a nap, I'll go out, and I'll have dinner with you when I come back."

"Still busy with the seeds of the household department?" Su Yujin asked with a smile after lying down.

The concept of hybrid seeds is very common in modern times, but it is still very rare at this time, and it is very rare for He Yanxiu to have such advanced thinking at this time.

"The emperor just sent a message and told me to go to Chongyang Hall immediately." He Yanxiu replied truthfully.

Today's rest, the emperor suddenly summoned at this time, there must be something important.

"Hmm." Su Yujin nodded.

He Yanxiu kissed her on the forehead before leaving.

This time, it was not until it was dark that He Yanxiu came back.

Su Yujin put down the tongs that were playing with the charcoal fire and greeted him with a smile, "Are you back?"

"Hmm." He Yanxiu stroked the broken hair on Su Yujin's forehead, and still kissed her on the forehead, "It's a little late to come back, can you have dinner?"

"My grandmother sent a message in the evening that the lady in her kitchenette had made a new roast pigeon and ham stewed bamboo shoots, and I wanted to taste it, and I had dinner with my grandmother."

Su Yujin said, "Look at you like this, haven't you had dinner yet?"

He Yanxiu nodded, "I just came out of Chongyang Palace, and I haven't had time yet."

"I know." Su Yujin bent the corners of her lips and opened the lid of the casserole that had been simmering on the charcoal fire, "Oh, I made it for you."

The white mist dissipated, and He Yanxiu saw the whole picture in the casserole.

The best Jinhua ham, fresh bamboo shoots, white and tender tofu, and the meatballs that are bubbling because of the soup......

The aroma is mouth-watering.

He Yanxiu had been hungry for a long time, and this time, with cakes, he ate a hot casserole stew, and he only felt hearty, far more enjoyable than those delicate side dishes.

Throwing away the image of an elegant and dignified noble son in front of everyone in Su Ri, He Yanxiu feasted at this time, and even called for delicious food.

Because of the food, the haze on He Yanxiu's face has dissipated a lot.

It wasn't until the various delicious ingredients in the casserole were eaten that He Yanxiu slowed down his movements and said in a deep voice, "There is a war over there at the border gate."

"There's a war?" Su Yujin was slightly stunned, and said after a moment, "Although it is a little unexpected, if you think about it carefully, it is reasonable."

Xijinyun Kingdom has been moving continuously since last year, and this battle will happen sooner or later.

"Hmm." He Yanxiu nodded, "The lord of the Xijinyun Kingdom is seriously ill, and he was originally the crown prince in charge of the country, but the second prince killed the prince at this time, put the lord under house arrest, and controlled the government."

"The second prince originally advocated force, and he was eyeing our country, and the Xijinyun country was originally a nomadic people, relying on herding and hunting for a living, and last year's winter was cold and snowy, and the livelihood of the people in the Xijinyun country was difficult, so the second prince took the opportunity to publicize the benefits of war in the country, so that the whole of the Xijinyun country was full of enthusiasm and war spirit at this time."

"Ten days ago, the Western Jinyun Kingdom sent troops to attack the two nearest cities......
