The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Gu Yuchen raised his chin slightly, and Zhao Xi took two steps forward to take the box, but Su Shilang was unwilling to let go.

He took two steps back while blocking Zhao Xi's hand: "Manager Zhao, it's better for me to do it. These cotton seeds are very small, and there are gaps in the small box, so be sure not to leak them."

Zhao Xi glanced forward and immediately closed his mouth...

The cotton seeds are small, but not so small that they will leak out from the gaps in the box!
When Gu Yuchen saw him like this, he glared angrily: "Didn't you say it was a New Year's gift from Xiao Liu to me? Seeing how Su Shilang looks like this, I thought it was a gift to you!"

Now it was Shi Lang Su's turn to feel frustrated. With a scornful look on his face, he carefully handed over the small box and whispered, "Mr. Zhao, please be gentle. Your Highness said that he also discovered these things accidentally. I haven’t planted it yet, and there are only so many seeds, so it would be troublesome if they were wasted.”

As he spoke, he followed, with a reluctant look, just like a mother who was saying goodbye to her son for the first time. She was worried, but had to let go.

Gu Yuchen pinched a cotton seed and remembered what Xiaoliu said in his letter. There were two waistcoats in the cloth box, filled with cotton. He had someone try it, and it was warmer than clothes filled with catkins and reed catkins. many.

However, due to the limited quantity of cotton, being able to weave just two boxes of cloth is the limit.

He gently put the cotton seeds back, and Zhao Xi stepped forward to close the small box and returned it to Su Shilang.

When he was about to turn around, he clearly heard Su Shilang's obvious sigh.

Zhao Xi's mind was full of questions. If the emperor hadn't been here, he would have wanted to shake Shilang Su hard and say, "I know this cotton seed is very important, and I have always been very careful. Don't act like someone touched your beloved beauty!"

Zhao Xi stood up again with resentment on his face, lowered his head and took a look, his eyes instantly widened.

He couldn't even see his toes!

Gu Yuchen saw that Su Shilang was particularly careful to put the box away, and then he said: "Xiao Liu said that he wrote a letter to you alone. It was some planting experience summed up by the old farmers over there based on the wild cotton field. You take it back. Do your research and be sure to find the right planting method next year.”

Sweet potatoes and potatoes have been successfully planted in Xinliang. Gu Yuzhi has already explained all the planting techniques to Shilang Su. He can arrange for people to plant them just waiting for the spring in the capital to bloom.

But cottonseed is different. Xiaoliu has no extra experience to teach. Everything is still in the exploratory stage. Who knows how many things can be successfully grown.

It's no wonder that Mr. Su is so precious.

Gu Yuchen glanced at Zhao Xi and saw that Zhao Xi's head was hanging heavily, as if he had fallen asleep. He grabbed something and threw it over: "You..."

Zhao Xi raised his head and looked at him, the corners of his mouth turned down, and his eyes looked sad.

Gu Yuchen suddenly felt one head and two big. He felt that all these people today were mentally ill. Forget about Liang Fei, she was a beautiful woman with a frail appearance. Her resentful eyes made people feel soft-hearted.

But you, an old man with wrinkles on his face, and a eunuch with a rosy face, look at someone like this, only to see that his fist is a little hard, so he couldn't help but threw something over, and said angrily: "Go, put Xiao Liu away." Take out the waistcoat from the cloth box."

From now on, we might as well let these two people blindfold themselves!

Both Su Shilang and Zhao Xi felt a chill on their backs. They straightened their backs subconsciously and glanced at the emperor secretly. They saw that the emperor had picked up the letter from His Highness again and was reading it intently.

The two of them scratched their heads in confusion at the same time. It was strange... Gu Yuchen's attention at this time was indeed on the letter. In the letter, Xiao Liu made it clear that cotton clothes are not as warm as mink fur, and cotton cloth is not as smooth as silk, so these things are for He took it as a reward, and the annual gifts he gave them naturally included fine fox skins and other things.

Gu Yuchen sat up slightly and tapped the dragon table with his fingers. Thinking of Xiaoliu, the indifference in his heart became less. Instead, he felt a warm current slowly flowing from his heart and spreading to his limbs. , making him happy physically and mentally.

He put the letter down again, this time lighter than before.

It happened that Zhao Xi brought a cotton waistcoat over. Because of his joy, his originally red face instantly turned into a ripe red apple. His hands holding the cotton waistcoat were trembling slightly, and his eyes were red: "Your Majesty, this cotton waistcoat feels so warm to the touch."

Although he is the chief eunuch, he is also a eunuch and a slave. According to the rules, he is not allowed to wear clothes such as silk and mink fur. Even if he is a reward from the emperor, he can only offer it and watch.

Over the years, Zhao Xi has never gone beyond the rules. It is precisely because of this that he has been able to stay in the position of Chief Internal Supervisor for so many years.

So when winter comes, his life becomes difficult, especially his calves, which are really cold from the bottom of his bones.

He served well inside the palace, but other palace servants serving outside the palace suffered day by day.

If these cotton-filled clothes were popularized, they, slaves with low lives, would suffer less and live two more days.

As soon as he got the cotton-padded coat, Gu Yuchen knew why Zhao Xi looked like he was about to cry. After touching it curiously, he lifted up the cotton-padded coat and put it directly on Zhao Xi's shoulders: "Zhao Xi , you should lose weight."

Zhao Xi's eyes were filled with tears: "Huh?"

Aren't you talking about this cotton-filled waistcoat? Why did you just talk about asking him to lose weight?

Zhao Xi sucked his stomach and said aggrievedly: "It's cold in winter, so I eat fat to resist the cold wind."

Didn't I say that I should raise autumn fat to survive the winter?

Gu Yuchen's eyes fell on his big belly, and he said with a faint smile: "If you succeed in losing weight, I will reward you with this waistcoat."

Zhao Xi's tears fell instantly, her throat tightened, and she carefully put the waistcoat in her arms: "Old slave, I thank the emperor for his grace."

He was sobbing so hard that Gu Yuchen was really annoyed by what he heard. He was about to reprimand when Zhao Xi said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, in order for this old slave to lose weight successfully, the soup cup sent by Concubine Shu, old slave... …”

Gu Yuchen said nothing, only gave him a meaningful look, and Zhao Xi shut up instantly.

He was really confused. How could he ask such a question directly?
Gu Yuchen ignored him and clicked on the dragon case: "Su Quanping, I only have two waistcoats, and I will reward you with the other one."

Su Quanping's eyes widened, and it took him a while to realize that such a good thing had happened to him!

He knelt down with a plop, and before he could thank him, a small eunuch rushed in in a panic and stammered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Liang took Concubine Shu and other concubines to Kunning Palace. I don't know what happened. There was a dispute and the Queen fainted!"

The temperature in Xiao Wu's place dropped dramatically, reaching minus [-] degrees Celsius. The heating was no longer working, and Xiao Wu finally couldn't bear it o(╥﹏╥)o
