Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 24 It's hard to find a lantern

It seems that Su Cheng's rioting in the Sifang Pavilion was not a nonsense. Empress Changsun became more and more curious. What did Su Cheng do to make His Majesty so happy?

Empress Changsun first poured a glass of wine for the emperor, and then said with a sweet smile: "The concubine is curious about how Su Cheng made such a big fuss in the Sifang Pavilion, please tell the concubine, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Queen, do you know that there are rice crops twice a year in this world?"

Empress Changsun was surprised and said, "What? Two rice crops a year?"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Well, the rice growth cycle of Lin Yiguo is short, and the output is still large, and it can achieve two crops a year!"

Empress Changsun's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Linyi Kingdom's rice output is still very large twice a year! Linyi Kingdom is only a small country, and the distance is far away. It is definitely impossible to provide rice for Datang."

Seeing the emperor's happy look, Empress Changsun's big eyes became brighter: "Ah, I see, it's rice seeds! Your Majesty, it's rice seeds, right?"

Li Shimin laughed and said, "That's right, I don't care much about the rice in Lin Yiguo, but the rice seeds!"

Empress Changsun was pleasantly surprised: "Once the twice-cropped rice in the year is implemented in the Tang Dynasty, how much rice will be added in a year? This is a good governance that everyone celebrates!"

Li Shimin laughed heartily and said: "That's right, vigorously promoting rice that is harvested twice a year can benefit thousands of people and make our Tang Dynasty even stronger!"

Empress Changsun pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Well, let me guess, it must be Su Cheng who discovered the rice that is harvested twice a year, right?"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "This kid is considered to be very lucky. His master once went to Linyi country when he traveled around the world, and found that the rice there is twice a year. Su Cheng also heard about it from his master."

Empress Changsun said with a smile: "Then Su Cheng just went to the Sifang Pavilion for verification, so it's not a big disturbance in the Sifang Pavilion!"

Li Shimin snorted softly, "Why isn't that counted? It's a serious crime to beat an envoy of a vassal state!"

Empress Changsun smiled and said: "The concubine thinks that Su Cheng played well, but the prince of Lin Yiguo didn't offer His Majesty the rice that is harvested twice a year, otherwise so many people would not have suffered disasters last year, Your Majesty You don’t have to worry about not being able to sleep for several nights.”

Li Shimin smiled and said: "That's true, the prince of Lin Yiguo was beaten a few times, and I feel happy watching it."

In fact, if he hadn't respected his status as the emperor, he would have gone up to beat the prince of Lin Yiguo long ago.

Empress Changsun said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Su Chengli's contribution is not small!"

Li Shimin was very helpless when he felt the eager look in the queen's eyes. He knew that the queen was asking for a reward for Su Cheng.

Outstanding talent, good-looking talent, and now he has made great achievements, it is obvious that the queen is very satisfied with this son-in-law-to-be.

In fact, after calming down, Li Shimin also felt that this kid was really good, and now his impression of Su Cheng had changed.

Li Shimin said in a bad mood: "I am the lord of the world, and I am sitting in the world. Since this kid has made great contributions, how can I do without his credit? I have already made him the county uncle of Ankang and gave him a house."

Empress Changsun Yingying bowed down and said with a sweet smile: "The concubine thanked His Majesty on Changle's behalf!"

Li Shimin said angrily: "I'm here to reward him for his merits, what does it have to do with Changle?"

Yes yes yes, you are right.Empress Changsun bowed down again: "The concubine congratulates Your Majesty. The rice that is harvested twice a year will be popularized. The country will be peaceful, the people will be safe and the world will be peaceful, and the warehouse will be full and the soldiers will be fine. Your Majesty will surely create a prosperous world through the ages!"

It is Li Shimin's greatest wish to create a prosperous world, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, the world will be peaceful, and the guests of all nations will be served...

Li Shimin's heart was agitated, as if he had regained the passion he had for fighting the battlefield, but it's a pity that he has become the emperor now, and he has no chance to fight the battlefield again.

Li Shimin's eyes fell on Empress Zhangsun, and with the empress's coquettish cry, Li Shimin picked her up by the waist, and strode towards the apse with great strides.

After learning that Su Cheng had written another poem, Empress Changsun also sent a copy to Princess Changle.

It just so happened that Princess Yuzhang was also a guest in Princess Changle's dormitory. After seeing this poem, she exclaimed in surprise and couldn't put it down.

Because Princess Yuzhang's mother died young, she was raised by Empress Changsun, and she was close to Princess Changle in age, so they were the best friends.

Princess Changle also quietly told Princess Yuzhang about the incident. At first, Princess Yuzhang was filled with indignation, but she didn't expect that Su Cheng was actually a genius.

Now Princess Yuzhang read the poem in her hand several times in one breath, and moaned: "Oh, my brother-in-law is so talented in poetry! This poem is so beautiful!"

Princess Changle blushed and spat softly: "What brother-in-law? Don't talk nonsense, the father didn't make an order!"

Princess Yuzhang smiled and said: "How can the queen mother miss such a good son-in-law? So, sister, you can get married with peace of mind! Tomorrow, this poem will be spread throughout Chang'an. I want to marry him!"

"Oh, my future son-in-law, I will be satisfied if I can have half the talent of my brother-in-law!"

"Sister is really shameless, she wants to be a son-in-law at such a young age!" Princess Changle said with a blushing face.

Princess Yuzhang also blushed a little and said, "What's the matter? You're going to get married sooner or later? I'm just curious now, what does my brother-in-law look like?"

Princess Changle blushed and did not speak, Yingluo smiled and said, "Young Master Su is a man of talent, so charming and suave."

Princess Yuzhang said: "That's true. To be able to write a poem like "Chunjiang Huayueye" must be a handsome and suave talent!"

It was late at night, and Princess Changle was lying on the couch, with the rice paper on which the poem was written still in her arms, her heart beating violently, and she didn't fall asleep until late at night.

The bright spring light entered the bedroom, and Princess Changle woke up from her dream, and immediately grabbed the poems beside her.

"Princess! Princess!"

"good news!"

Princess Changle lazily said: "Good news? What good news?"

Yingluo said mysteriously: "Princess, I heard that Mr. Su was named the county uncle of Ankang by the emperor! He even gave him a mansion!"

"What? Is it true?" Princess Changle asked in surprise.

"It should be true. I heard that Mr. Su broke into the Sifang Pavilion last night and found some rice seeds that are harvested twice a year. The slaves don't understand, anyway, they have made great achievements." Yingluo explained.

Discovered rice seeds that are harvested twice a year?Princess Changle has read poetry and books and naturally understands what this means, so she immediately believed it. Su Cheng really made a great contribution!

Su Cheng is not only talented in poetry, but also made great contributions at a young age and was named Ankang County Boss. Such a son-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern.

For a moment, Princess Changle's heart was filled with sweetness, and she felt that her marriage with Su Cheng was really settled.
