The Emperor Has An Illness

Chapter 33: : Potato flower

Emperor Jing Li said, "You continue to sleep."

Liao Qingqing asked incomprehensibly: "But the emperor, what's the matter with you?"

"I'm fine."

"Then what do you sit with covering your concubine's eyes?"

Emperor Jingli found an excuse and said, "I, I just want you to keep sleeping."

"???"

"Go to sleep." Emperor Jing Li let go.

Liao Qingqing blinked and looked at Emperor Jingli sleepily.

She didn't notice the strangeness of Emperor Jingli, so she asked angrily: "The emperor, are you having a nightmare?"

"...It's a dream." But it's not a nightmare.

"It's okay, the dream is the opposite." Liao Qingqing patted Emperor Jingli's hand with a stare, and comforted: "Don't be afraid."

"...You continue to sleep, I am going to the morning court."

Liao Qingqing wants to get up: "My concubine is waiting for you to dress."

"No need!" Emperor Jing Li firmly refused.

Liao Qingqing stopped and asked, "Isn't it necessary?"

"No, go to sleep."

"The concubine continued to sleep."

"Ok."

Liao Qingqing lay on the bed again and slowly closed his eyes.

Really fell asleep.

Just, just, fell asleep?

Emperor Jing Li was surprised, and then shook his head helplessly, with a sweet smile on his lips unconsciously.

When his eyes fell on the quilt, his face immediately stiffened, and then he lifted the quilt.

Looking at the slightly wet pants, I don't know if it's happy or embarrassing.

Immediately call for blessing, bathe and change clothes, dress neatly and go to the court.

Immediately after facing the court, Doctor Fan was immediately called.

Grand Doctor Fan asked in a low voice, "Is the emperor reacting again this morning?"

Emperor Jing Li sullen his face and said, "Not only did it react, it also came out."

Grand Doctor Fan didn't understand for a while, raised his eyes and asked, "What's coming out?"

Emperor Jing Li flew over with an eye knife.

Grand Doctor Fan understood at once: "It's a good thing to come back to the emperor!"

Emperor Jingli did not answer.

Grand Doctor Fan continued: "But not once."

"Not once?"

"Yes, the poisoning incident that year almost endangered the emperor’s life. Fortunately, God blessed the emperor. The emperor passed that level. These years, the minister was thinking about removing the emperor’s body poison. Although the emperor was young and healthy, he recovered quickly, but for safety. For the sake of it, you should also be aware of it to make sure it is foolproof!" The doctor Fan said sincerely and powerfully.

After hearing this, Emperor Jingli nodded and said, "Aiqing is right."

"Please be patient, the emperor."

"???" Why did these words sound as if he was very anxious, Emperor Jing Li didn't care, but Doctor Fan said in vain, "Go down."

"Yes."

Doctor Fan left again.

Emperor Jingli got up and sat down at the table, preparing to approve a batch of papers. Suddenly the charming look of Liao Qingqing in his dream appeared in his mind.

And the feeling of being like a fairy...

He has never experienced this feeling, it is unspeakably wonderful.

At about the same time he felt hot in his stomach.

He quickly put away his mind, set his mind, and focused on the memorial. Then he didn't think about the things in his dreams anymore, so he was busy until noon.

Fusheng stepped forward and asked, "My lord, where is lunch?"

Emperor Jingli said, "Go to Lisheng Pavilion."

Knowing that the emperor was going to Lisheng Pavilion, Fu Sheng had inquired about Liao Qingqing's whereabouts early in the morning, so he said: "Back to the emperor, Master Xi is not in Lisheng Pavilion right now."

"Where?"

"I went to the Shouxi Palace early in the morning."

"what to do?"

"I heard that after a rain yesterday, the flowers in the Queen Mother's backyard were blooming, and Master Xi was called to see, and lunch will be used in the Shouxi Palace." Fusheng smiled and replied.

"Oh, didn't the Queen Mother embarrass Xi Zhaorong?"

"This minion doesn't know it." If it shouldn't be said, Fusheng knew it would shut up.

"Then I will go to Shouxi Palace."

"Yes." Fusheng just rushed out of the door to report.

Emperor Jingli stopped and said: "You don't need to be imperial, I will go for a while."

"Yes."

Emperor Jingli sat and approved the papers for the whole morning. It was time to walk around. He walked with Fusheng.

As soon as I entered the Shouxi Palace, I saw Liao Qingqing eating with the Queen Mother.

"The emperor!" Liao Qingqing smiled and shouted first when he saw Emperor Jingli.

The cry was clear and sweet, and Emperor Jing Li's heart softened.

Liao Qingqing stepped forward to salute: "See the emperor."

Emperor Jingli stepped forward and held Liao Qingqing's hand: "Flat body."

Liao Qingqing whispered: "The emperor, my concubine eats here at the Queen Mother."

"I know." Emperor Jingli also whispered back: "That's why I came here."

Liao Qingqing nodded.

Emperor Jingli looked at the queen mother and said, "The son sees the mother."

The queen mother was as steady as a mountain and asked: "Has the emperor eaten?"

Emperor Jingli replied truthfully: "Not yet."

"Let's go together."

"Son obeys."

Emperor Jingli sat next to Liao Qingqing, accompanied the Queen Mother for lunch, and secretly observed her attitude towards Liao Qingqing. Although the Queen Mother was cold and severe, she treated Liao Qingqing fairly well.

Thinking of coming to the Queen Mother, I am used to seeing the complexity of the people's minds. On the contrary, I feel a little more pity for a simple and transparent person like Liao Qingqing.

This is also Liao Qingqing's blessing.

Emperor Jingli was relieved.

After lunch, the Queen Mother needed a rest, and did not let the Emperor Jingli Liao Qingqing stay. The two of Emperor Jingli and Liao Qingqing left the Shouxi Palace. The corners of Liao Qingqing's mouth kept rising along the way. Emperor Jingli couldn't help asking curiously: "Qingqing is very happy?"

Liao Qingqing raised her head slightly, her eyes gleaming, and nodded: "Yeah."

"Why?"

"Guess the emperor."

"..." It was naive, but Emperor Jing Li still guessed it and said, "Because of the promotion?"

"No." Liao Qingqing shook his head.

Emperor Jingli said again: "Because I have rewarded you with a thousand liang of gold?"

Liao Qingqing shook his head again: "No."

"Because the Queen Mother has changed your view?"

"Neither."

"That is…"

Liao Qingqing said triumphantly: "Because my concubine grows vegetables, there are results."

Emperor Jing Li was surprised.

"The emperor, my concubine will take you to see."

"..." When Emperor Jing Li thought of the slices of vegetables that Liao Qingqing had grown, he was really not interested.

Liao Qingqing raised her eyes and asked, "The emperor, don't you want to see it?"

"Yes!" Emperor Jing Li said dubiously: "Let's go and take a look."

Liao Qingqing took the initiative to take the hand of Emperor Jingli, and as soon as he entered the Lisheng Pavilion, he hurriedly walked towards her test field.

From a distance, I saw pale green plants, the flowers were almost falling, and I didn't know what the vegetables were.

"The emperor, look." Liao Qingqing pointed to the test field.

"What are you looking at?" Emperor Jing Li asked.

"Potato seedlings."

"Potato seedlings?" Emperor Jing Li had never heard of such plants.

Liao Qingqing squatted down and smashed the soil in front of the potato stalks. After a while, an egg-sized object appeared. She pulled one off and showed it to Emperor Jingli, and said, "The emperor, look. This is the potato."

"Potatoes?" Emperor Jing Li's eyes fell on the potatoes in Liao Qingqing's hands.

"Yes, it's edible!"

"Can you eat it?" Emperor Jingli didn't believe it.

"It's edible." Liao Qingqing nodded.

Emperor Jingli turned his unbelieving gaze to the potato seedlings, how familiar it seemed to him, he suddenly remembered, and said, "This is not an umbrella flower that pays tribute to the Northwest. It means shelter from wind and disasters."

""Correct. Liao Qingqing nodded.

"How did it become like this?"

"Concubine improved."

Potatoes are not unfamiliar to people in the 21st century, but they are extremely unfamiliar to people in this era. I don’t know if it is due to the climate and environment. At present, potatoes only bloom, and their rhizomes cannot grow.

People in the northwest did not find the edible value of potatoes.

Only treat potatoes as ornamental flowers.

According to the meaning of "shielding wind and avoiding disasters", it was presented as a tribute to Emperor Jingli.

Emperor Jingli went to Lisheng Pavilion.

Fortunately, Liao Qingqing grew up in the countryside. When he was very young, he went to the fields with his grandparents to dig potatoes, pull radishes, and cotton. He has a deep understanding of some crops.

At a glance, I recognized the so-called umbrella flower, which is actually a potato flower.

However, she was afraid of the different varieties of potato flowers, so she did not say anything. Since last year, she has been silently observing, cultivating, transplanting, watering, watering nutrition, picking flowers and buds, etc., of "umbrella flowers". The nutrients are delivered to the roots.

Unexpectedly, when I saw it this morning, potatoes really grew out.

Immediately let the lotus incense burn a few to eat.

It's exactly the same as potatoes of the 21st century.

She was so excited.

It happened that Mother Chang came to call her to the Shouxi Palace. She suppressed the joy and released it at this moment. She continued: "Emperor, this is delicious."

Emperor Jingli asked: "Have you eaten?"

"Well, the emperor, would you like to try it?"

"Good." Emperor Jing Li became interested in this potato.

There is no small kitchen in Lisheng Pavilion, so you have to go to the Imperial Dining Room if you want to cook.

Liao Qingqing let Hexiang throw some potatoes into the charcoal stove.

After a while, a faint fragrance floated from the charcoal stove.

When the potatoes are taken out, the burnt potato skins are peeled off, and a sweet aroma diffuses in the room.

Emperor Jingli looked at Liao Qingqing in amazement.

Liao Qingqing pierced the potatoes with his chopsticks, handed them to Emperor Jingli, and said, "The emperor, try it."

Emperor Jingli took it and saw that Liao Qingqing had started to eat potatoes in small bites.

He took a bite cautiously, and the soft waxy sweetness spread in his mouth instantly.

This is a taste he has never tasted before.

But he didn't reject it at all, on the contrary, he liked it very much.

He looked at Liao Qingqing in shock.

Liao Qingqing asked expectantly: "My lord, is it delicious?"

This potato gave him too many surprises, and he said, "It's delicious."

"Not only is it delicious, but also hungry." Liao Qingqing said.

"Hungry?"

These two words hit the sensitive point of Emperor Jingli.

He is a good emperor who cares about the people, he is full of food and clothing for the people, encourages the people to open up wasteland and plant, and even gives tax cuts to some areas.

Even so, in a good harvest year, the people can eat and wear warmly; if the wind is not smooth and the rain is not smooth, the hard work of the year is still in vain.

Starvation will happen from time to time.

So he is very concerned about the word "hungry".

"Yes, my concubine ate two in the morning and was not hungry all morning."

Emperor Jing Li looked at the potatoes in his hand, no longer the carelessness he had just now, and asked earnestly, "How many potatoes can this umbrella flower grow?"

"Concubine don't know, but—"

"But what?"

"But concubine feels you can get together a lot, my lord, come with your concubine."

"it is good."

Emperor Jingli followed Liao Qingqing to her experimental field again, smashed a potato, showed the root of the potato to Emperor Jingli, and said, "The emperor, look, these little potatoes can grow very big. Bigger than what we eat."

"How did you know?"

"Because the concubine eaten today is very big."

"Can these little potatoes grow up?"

"The emperor, you don't need to grow up all of these little potatoes. Half of them can grow up. That's a lot of gains, isn't it?" Liao Qingqing asked rhetorically.

We must know that the yield per mu of wheat and rice is only about two hundred catties, while that of potatoes can reach 1,000 to 4,000 catties.

That's why Tudou has saved one country after another and created one myth after another in her world.

Obviously, Emperor Jing Li also saw the great potential of potatoes.

There was a shock in his eyes looking at Liao Qingqing.

It took a while before he spoke: "Qingqing, you have done a great job."

Liao Qingqing knows this!

Emperor Jingli continued: "You follow me to the household department."

This Liao Qingqing didn't know, and asked incomprehensibly: "What will I do in the household?"

"Go to the household department for the record."

"What's the record?"

"I set up a Department of Agriculture in the Ministry of Households, which specializes in the cultivation and increase of crops. Your potato has a huge potential. Go and file with the Director of the Department of Agriculture for the benefit of the people."

"Wait a minute." Liao Qingqing stopped Emperor Jingli.

"what's happenin?"

"The emperor, this potato was accidentally discovered by my concubine, and the name was also accidentally picked up by my concubine. For the time being, I don't know its nature at all." For example, moldy and sprouting potatoes are highly toxic. Said: "We will not invest in the private sector for the time being, we need to discuss and study again."

Emperor Jing Li smiled.

Liao Qingqing asked: "The emperor, what are you laughing at?"

"My agricultural department does not eat dry food. They understand that these life-related matters are made through repeated experiments. In this regard, they are more cautious than us." Jing Li said.

Liao Qingqing nodded in relief.

"Follow me."

Liao Qingqing smiled and said, "Okay."

Emperor Jingli took Liao Qingqing's hand and walked directly toward the Hubu.

Before reaching the Huhu, their whereabouts spread in the harem. In Linhua Palace, Concubine Liang asked in surprise: "The emperor took Xi Zhaorong to see the Huhu Shangshu and the Director of the Department of Agriculture?"

Concubine Xian nodded.

"Why?"

Concubine Xian frowned.

Concubine Liang asked: "Concubine Xian, what did you think of? You might as well just say it."

"The imperial concubine, I wonder if you still remember the Banshan Temple incident on the Double Ninth Festival last year?" Concubine Xian asked.

Concubine Liang recalled briefly, and said: "My palace remembers that at that time Xie Yi went to the backyard of Banshan Temple to inspect, and Xi Zhaorong jumped into the ravine to avoid suspicion."

"Well, that jump also allowed Xi Zhaorong to rise from Xi to Xi Xiurong."

That's right!

Concubine Liang held her hands tightly.

Banshan Temple in Longevity Mountain was originally a good opportunity.

As long as Liao Qingqing and Xie Yi get involved, then Liao Qingqing will be forever, how can there be Xi Zhaorong now? !

She gets angry at the thought of this.

Angry Liao nobleman Jiang Guiren two are incompetent!

The concubine Xian asked again: "The imperial concubine, do you remember what the emperor said to the ministers when Xi Zhaorong was promoted to the throne?"

"What are you talking about?" Concubine Liang could not remember for a while.

The concubine said: "The emperor said,'Want to come here is the ordeal that Longevity Mountain has given Xiren. I believe that he will be able to grow vegetables and bring benefits to the people. Therefore, I am loyal to Xiyan, Feng Xi I am repairing Xi for Xi.'"

Concubine Liang was taken aback when she heard the words.

"In terms of planting vegetables, achieving something, benefiting the people, and being loyal..." The concubine deliberately picked out these keywords, and said: "In terms of planting vegetables, the Secretary of Agriculture is in charge. The emperor took Xi Zhaorong to the Department of Agriculture... "

Concubine Liang was shocked upon hearing this.

She stared straight at Concubine Xian.

The concubine did not speak.

Concubine Liang said: "Is the emperor paving the way for Liao Qingqing's future?"

The author has something to say:-

Emperor Jingli: I am paving the way so that Qingqing can walk to my side more smoothly.

Liao Qingqing: No need!

Emperor Jing Li:? ?

Liao Qingqing: I just turned over and passed away!

Emperor Jing Li:...
