Bringing the courtyard through [delicate] lady killed like crazy

Chapter 255: Shennong Reincarnation

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar.

Princess Fuyao? The Princess Fuyao who saved the entire Yuncheng?

What kind of fruit is this? Why is it so big?

The melon was cut under everyone's eyes. It was hard for them to understand what kind of fruit could be as big as a wash basin...

But with the two princes and a bunch of old men in official uniforms standing aside, there was definitely no problem. Everyone acted faster than they thought, and they had already lined up before they could even figure out what was going on.

Just kidding, try something new, it's too late to taste it...

"This..." Seeing that the crowd had already started to line up, several old ministers could no longer save their pride and looked at each other, unable to express their grievances.

Qi Yunyu chuckled, "Fourth brother, give them what the princess gave to the people, let's go back to the palace first."

Lu Liang nodded, "Okay."

The two princes turned around and walked towards the palace. Several carriages behind them followed in a row. Only two carriages with their curtains not opened were left in the square at the back.

Someone with sharp eyes saw through the gap and saw that it was full of big, round watermelons.

These will be left in the square, obviously to be distributed to the people...

In the imperial study room.

Emperor Qing is reviewing memorials.

When being an emperor, the most important part of his daily work is to review memorials. People under him, whether they have nothing to do or not, all like to review memorials. Some are lazy and only submit one every few days, while some are diligent and submit one almost every day.

It's just like writing a love letter. I even have to ask whether the emperor has rested well.

Emperor Qing really wanted to tell them, if you bother me with fewer memorials, I can sleep longer every day and have a good rest.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has returned from Princess Fuyao, bringing back many things, and also coming with him..." Li Jing opened his eyelids and looked at the imperial pen that His Majesty had put down, making sure that it would not dirty the memorial, and continued, "Also coming with him are the Second Prince, Prince Rong, the Grand Tutor, the Left Prime Minister, the Grand Secretary Ji, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Personnel, the General..."

Emperor Qing sat back down after having just stood up, raised his hand and pointed at Li Jing hesitantly, "Who did you say came back earlier?"

Li Jing sighed, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has returned from the Princess, and brought several carriages of things, three of which are filled with new varieties of watermelons, which have been distributed to the people at the city gate. I heard that everyone who tasted it said that the watermelon was a fairy fruit from heaven. At that time, all the adults were..."

Emperor Qing: ...

"Quick, tell them I'm not feeling well and I won't see anyone!"

Emperor Qing was in a hurry to return to his bedroom through the side door, but the left prime minister's voice arrived before him, tripping Emperor Qing up.

"Your Majesty, I wonder where you feel unwell. Do you need to summon the princess back to the capital for your Majesty to see?"

"Your Majesty, you were fine during the morning court session, why are you feeling unwell now?" The general quickly stepped into the hall.

Emperor Qing: ...

The king and his ministers sat opposite each other.

The left prime minister said that he heard that vegetables, fruits, grains and other items were sent to the palace from the princess's farm. The things sent by the princess were related to the future of Daqing, so they went to the palace to await the emperor's order without waiting for his majesty to summon them, so as to share his worries anytime and anywhere.

The general said that if there were crops suitable for growing at the border, perhaps the difficulties at the border could be solved. If the border could be self-sufficient many years later, the prosperity of Daqing would be just around the corner.

The Minister of Rites said that if the new variety of watermelon cultivated by the princess and the cherries and strawberries that His Majesty had gifted to us could be promoted and sold to other countries at a high price, it would not be a problem for our country to fill its treasury...

All the ministers nodded, and Grand Secretary Ji rushed to the head of Lu Ying and asked, "May I ask Your Highness, are there any watermelons left in the car? The princess invited the people to taste the new products, and we are also citizens of Daqing."

"Yes, yes, yes, Lord Ji, what you said makes sense. We can also ask Lord Taifu to compose a poem on the spot."

Everyone was talking at once, leaving the royal father and his two sons speechless.

Emperor Qing lowered his head and said nothing. Anyway, the things were brought back by the fourth brother, so he knew nothing about it.

I don't know if he has a share yet...

Lu Liang slowly put down the teacup and nodded at Li Jing, "Eunuch Li, please have someone cut some watermelons and wash some fruits and bring them in."

Li Jing suddenly came up with an idea, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I will do it right away!"

After a while, the palace maid came up with a plate of washed and cut fruits. Fruits of various colors were placed together, with some water droplets still on them, which made people's appetites whetted just by looking at them.

Since we went there to try new varieties, there was naturally some of each fruit. In addition, each person was given a small dish of watermelon. If a large watermelon was cut in half, there was more than enough to share.

Li Jing brought Emperor Qing's portion to the imperial table and quietly told Emperor Qing that there were more in the carriage.

The general below had already quickly eaten two pieces of watermelon, saying that he was very happy. "Your Majesty, my mother is old and her appetite is always poor in summer. Last time, your Majesty gave her some cherries and strawberries. My mother liked them very much and ate them well for several days. But the weather has been hot recently and my mother has lost her appetite. Can I bring the rest back to the palace and give it to my mother to try?"

"Yes, I am old now, and I don't feel like eating in the summer. However, the fruits grown by the princess are really appetizing. I only ate a piece of watermelon, and I feel a little hungry." The Left Prime Minister echoed.

Li Jing just stood firm and trembled. Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes again. The last time they forcibly divided the fruit, they used the same excuse...

Before Emperor Qing had time to eat a piece of watermelon, the people below had already stood up one after another...

In the end, the things that the princess sent to the palace were divided up by everyone who came after smelling the food.

They are all important officials in the court, all elders, with elderly mothers who are frail and have no appetite, and children who have no vision and do not know how to share the country's worries. They want to learn from the princess...

Finally, Emperor Qing stood at the door of the imperial study with his hands behind his back, watching the fourth and second sons take away two cars when they left, saying that they were thank-you gifts prepared by the princess for Concubine Chen, thanking her for the clothes, jewelry, etc.

The remaining three carts were all given to him, two of which were for fruits and one for vegetables. Most of the vegetables were left behind, and only the Left Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor took some away.

But the ministers forcibly gave him half a cart of fruit! They only left him half a cart! ...

Emperor Qing felt both angry and amused when he saw his important minister staggering out the door with a big watermelon in his left hand and a basket of fruits in his right hand.

He waved his hand and asked Li Jing to take people to the palace gate quickly.

The guys who were still taking advantage of their seniority a moment ago now no longer felt it was too heavy.

What he didn't know was that after these people left him, they turned around and visited Li Yushi, Lin Shangshu and Meng Shangshu, and then in the near future they collectively asked for leave saying they were sick, and then secretly stayed at Li Jiaojiao's farm...

The excuse was to see the princess for medical treatment.

But when they came back, each of them brought a cart full of stuff...
