Space Struggle After becoming a concubine, I just want to farm

Chapter 63 Promotion
Dinner is cooked by Ruyi Kitchen.

The ingredients are all grown in the fields behind, and summer vegetables are the most abundant.There are water spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, bitter gourds, green beans, crock beans, okra, pumpkins, zucchini, loofah, chayote, lentils, red Chinese cabbage, purslane, lettuce, cabbage, etc.

There are so many varieties now, you can eat whatever you want.

Especially the braised eggplant in oil. The little kitchen washed the eggplant and cut it into hob shapes as Ruyi said. Tear the green pepper into small pieces by hand. Pour oil into the pot, add the eggplant and green pepper and stir-fry until soft, then add onion and ginger. Garlic, mix the seasoning into a sauce, and it's so delicious with rice that you can't stop eating it.

Even tonight, Emperor Qinglong gave up his old way of eating for health and made himself full.

Ruyi was a little worried. Emperor Qinglong was older than him, but he must not turn into a pot-bellied man.I couldn't help but say the words as I thought about it.

Li Sheng, who was waiting on the side, almost knelt down in front of Xi Guifei, and she dared to say this.

"You now dislike me because I am older than you?" Emperor Qinglong was going crazy.

Ruyi was a little embarrassed, "No way, why are you so beautiful? My little heart keeps jumping when I see you."

Li Sheng, who was beside him, thought to himself, if his heart stopped beating, he would be dead. This Xigui concubine is really good at talking.

Emperor Qinglong still looked furious. Ruyi walked over and whispered something in his ear.

Li Sheng felt proud just by looking at the emperor. There was no such thing as being angry or unhappy.It’s really shameless to look at it, this is too coaxing.

After laughing for a while, Emperor Qinglong began to think of business.

"By the way, during an inspection in the palace today, we discovered that a young father-in-law had privately hidden letters and brought them into the palace." Emperor Qinglong said casually.

Ruyi thought about who was unlucky here, so she said: "Then we need to investigate carefully. It is not a trivial matter to bring things in and out of the palace privately."

"I think so too, so little Ruyi, would you like to explain it?" Emperor Qing Long took a sip of hot tea, looking forward to Ruyi's reaction and what she had to say.

"What, is it my letter?" Ruyi became happy: "Did my family give it to me? Is my brother's child born? Come and see."

Ruyi seemed to have lost her memory of what she said just a moment ago. When she heard the letter from her, she thought that there must be something good at home.

Emperor Qinglong held his forehead. If it had been any other concubine, she would have knelt down and trembled.He motioned to Li Sheng to bring over the letter, and Ruyi Hao began to open it without anyone noticing.

Emperor Qinglong saw her change from cheerful to boring to happy: "What should I say?"

"Your Majesty, if you read this letter, you will be happier than me. Here!" Ruyi handed over the letter.

Emperor Qinglong was curious. Once he started reading, he couldn't stop and thought carefully: "Is what is said in this letter true?"

"I'm sure. I'm not surprised by this result. You can also go and have a look in the fields behind me. I also have a seed." Eunuch Li Sheng listened to Xi Gui's concubine talking to the emperor, and it was always you and me. He became more and more unruly, but the emperor didn't look unhappy at all.

"Come on, let's go take a look now." Emperor Qinglong was anxious to see the real thing.

"It's dark here now, so I can't see clearly even if I want to. Come over tomorrow and we'll break the corn together." Ruyi said with a smile. "By the way, my brother said that he also handed you a note. Logically speaking, it will be several days faster than the letter home sent to the capital."

"I will go back to the imperial study and won't come over in the evening." Emperor Qinglong was anxious to find the book. Such a major event that benefits the country and the people cannot be delayed.

Half an hour later, Emperor Qinglong's face was ashen.

The notebooks were missing, and according to the first official who sorted out the notebooks, they said they had seen them.I couldn't find this note in the second way, it was a ridiculous thing to do, even the things handed to the emperor would disappear.

"Go and check." Emperor Qinglong was furious.

This investigation was very quick, and the Lord Shangshu called him into the palace overnight.

"See for yourself? Does it look familiar?" Emperor Qinglong took the letter that Yan Jialin had brought directly to Ruyi and threw it in front of Lord Shangshu.

Lord Shang Shu still held his breath, Emperor Qing Long was always wise, he would not punish his subjects at will, he had been cautious for many years, he expected that nothing serious would happen.

But when he really saw the content, Master Shangshu still trembled a bit, and he knelt down and bowed his head without daring to explain anything: "The old minister is guilty."

Emperor Qinglong was indeed very angry, but he thought that Shangshu had always been conscientious in his work: "I went home and closed the door for half a year."

Lord Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay if he didn't go to court for half a year. As long as Concubine De helped to play the side drum in the palace, there was still hope.

"Li Sheng, grind the ink." Emperor Qinglong asked the agricultural administrator to go to Tongxian with the imperial edict tomorrow to help Yan Jialin promote corn. For the time being, he will use the province where Tongxian is located to conduct autumn corn experiments, and wait for more improved varieties. , it can be promoted to barren areas where the land is not suitable for growing rice.
