Chapter 45: Digging Sweet Potatoes Together

Chi Xia didn't expect to be a concubine, and by the way, he could get rid of the casual title of "Xia Chang is here, Chi Guiren", which was a bit surprising.

But what was more surprising than her was the concubine Niu Hulu.

If she is just a noble person and always there, she hasn't paid too much attention to it.

Maybe it was because the emperor succeeded to the throne early in this life, and Chi Xia happened to have this opportunity. But three jumps in a year, directly promoted to the concubine position, and even this title vaguely overwhelmed everyone and became the head of the concubine.

She was a little worried in her heart.

This person, shouldn't he really take her place and become the ultimate victor of the harem?

She glanced at her superiors.

Yongzheng held Chi Xia in one hand and sat in the supreme position, and his eyes were even full of smiles that were rare in daily life.

Niu Hulu was sour and embarrassed, and pushed the son next to him.

Hongli turned his head, looked at Eniang, stood up knowingly, and walked to the court like a little adult: "Huang Ama, the son has learned a poem, congratulations to the Queen Mother, Huang Ama and all uncles, Mid-Autumn Festival and peace." ”

As soon as Chi Xia saw that the next "show" was about to start, he hurriedly prepared to sneak back to his seat.

Yongzheng didn't let go, and said in a low voice: "Just sit here, isn't your task not completed yet?" ”

Chi Xia was stunned, and he had been pulled by him to sit down.

The system's prompt is belated:

- The main quest has been completed and the rewards have been distributed.

- Congratulations to the master on his promotion, please keep up the good work.

Chi Xia turned his head, originally wanting to say that the task was completed, but when he saw the smile in Yongzheng's eyes, he didn't say anything.

Suddenly, I found that the main quest process of the system has jumped a lot, and it has jumped directly to 10%.

After reciting a prayer, Hongli received a set of four treasures from the queen mother.

Prince Lian suddenly raised her glass and stood up: "The courtiers are familiar with Concubine Zhao, as if they have seen it in Prince Yi's car." ”

it!

Prince Lian Yinxi was reprimanded by Yongzheng a few days ago, making him confess his guilt.

Although he didn't admit it, and the Zongren Mansion hadn't finished checking it, there were rumors in the capital.

When Yinxi realized what kind of passivity this "rumor" would make him fall into, almost everyone in the entire Zhili knew that it was the Eighth Prince who destroyed the new grain.

Yinxi has not been in court for a long time, and naturally this kind of family banquet has not come.

Chi Xia originally thought that his Fujin would not come, so he didn't make a lot of heavy makeup, but he didn't expect her to really come.

As soon as she was nervous, she unconsciously clenched her fingers, and suddenly found that she was still being held by Yongzheng, and subconsciously looked up at him.

Yongzheng patted her hand: "The princess has good eyesight, Concubine Zhao and Guo Guiren both like to plant some melons and fruit seedlings, and I asked Prince Yi to take them to Huangzhuang to teach farmers to plant." ”

Yinxiang said: "Exactly." Zhao Concubine Niangniang bred new sweet potato seeds and rice seeds, and Guo Guiren's greenhouse also cultivated a lot of fruits that could only be produced in Fujian and Guangdong. ”

Prince Lian sneered: "It turns out that the seeds that killed people were "cultivated" by Concubine Zhao, and the reduction in production is indeed the fault of my prince." ”

She didn't mean anything else, she basically pointed at the nose of the emperor and Chi Xia and said that the seeds they got themselves were not good, and they would frame Prince Lian.

How could Chi Xia tolerate her reversing black and white like this, and she couldn't let Yongzheng lower her body to quarrel with her, so she stood up directly and made her words clear: "What the princess means is that the seeds of the concubines themselves are not good, and they have to forcibly paste gold on themselves and accuse Prince Lian." Your Majesty, the concubines can't afford this crime. ”

Yongzheng glanced at Bafujin coldly: "The pure one is self-purifying, the princess wants to exonerate the eighth brother, she doesn't choose her words, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Guo Mianmian has always been reluctant to come forward, but this will stand up: "Your Majesty, the key points of greenhouse planting are also taught to me by Concubine Zhao. If the princess thinks that the concubine's words are not credible, she can also go to the palace of Concubine Zhao to take a look, although there is no wheat now, the sweet potatoes are growing just right. There is nothing wrong with the seeds of Zhao Concubine Niangniang! ”

Bafujin was originally looking for fault, thinking that he could save a little reputation for Yinxi, where would he go to see what sweet potato yield.

When their husband and wife arrived in this field, she was not afraid of offending the emperor at all, so she brushed her sleeves and left.

Yongzheng was hindered that she was a woman, and she couldn't directly reprimand, and the atmosphere on the field froze for a while.

Only Hongtian couldn't sit still when he heard the word "sweet potato" just now, and asked Concubine Yu in a milky voice: "Is the sweet potato a roasted sweet potato made by Mama?" It's so sweet and delicious. ”

Concubine Yu wanted to cover his mouth.

After Hongtian became seriously ill, she has always been sympathetic to his weak body, and she is reluctant to force him to work hard, and she is usually a little pampered.

Hongtian didn't know why, and took Eniang's hand: "I want to go to Chi Niangniang's palace to eat sweet potatoes." ”

Someone couldn't help but laugh.

The atmosphere is much better.

Yongzheng also smiled and asked him to sit down beside him: "Concubine Zhao's sweet potatoes are still in the ground, you have to dig them out yourself." ”

Hongyang immediately nodded: "Okay, Huang Ama, can I go digging sweet potatoes now?" ”

Hongli's eyes were also bright, but because his mother was still sitting next to him, he didn't dare to speak.

When the banquet reached the end stage, the ministers were so troubled by the Bafu Jin Fang, they were all trembling, and Yongzheng called them all to disperse, leaving only a few concubines and princesses in the harem.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is a celebration of harvest and reunion, and today I will also have a scene with you to see the sweet potatoes planted by Zhao Concubine, and what the yield is."

Chi Xia opened his mouth and stammered: "Really go dig sweet potatoes?" ”

Several princes and princesses had sparkling eyes, and even the teenage Hiroshi was eager to try.

Chi Xia could only nod: "Okay, the concubines are simple in the palace, and I hope that the princesses and sisters will not dislike it." ”

She really didn't expect that doing a Mid-Autumn Festival mission could lead to so many incidents.

It was the first time that Yuhua Pavilion had welcomed so many guests.

It was also the first time that the princes and princesses had such close contact with the land.

Yongzheng personally rolled up his sleeves and took the three princes and two princesses to the ground.

Sweet potatoes are not easy to dig, and those who have no experience will often dig up a whole sweet potato.

Chi Xia saw that the little ones were very interested, and when he dug out a complete one, he couldn't help but take it to Yongzheng and the girls to offer treasures. I simply asked people to prepare clean water and an oven.

Her small kitchen was also quite well equipped, and within half an hour, the sweet smell of roasted sweet potatoes came out.

Hongyang moved his nose and was the first to drop the shovel: "Chi Niangniang, I'm hungry!" Can I eat one? ”

"Of course," Chi Xia handed him a slice.

She cleverly sprinkled a little powdered sugar on the cut surface of the sweet potato as it roasted, and now the sweet caramel crunch is on the surface.

Hongtian ate to his heart's content, and his eyes narrowed: "It's so delicious!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled Hongli: "Fourth brother, try it." ”

On the other hand, he asked Yongzheng: "Huang Ama, the thirteenth uncle said last time that there was a famine in Zhili, so you can give them the sweet potatoes planted by Chi Niangniang, and I can help Chi Niangniang dig them." ”

Yongzheng touched his head: "Good boy." ”

Niu Hulu held Hongli in his arms, saw him looking at Hongli with envy, and pinched his hand in annoyance.

This kid has a very sweet mouth every day, how can he not compare to Xiao Wu at this time!
