Feng Yuan came when His Majesty said that raising silkworms was not easy and the silk was not good.
His Majesty the Emperor had to give up his rare leisure time, put the small group of silk in a box, and then met Feng Yuan.
As soon as Feng Yuan came in, he talked about Chen Guo's envoy.
"Your Majesty, Honghe Temple has sent someone to greet him, and Chen will be able to enter the city in about an hour."
Hearing the words "Envoy of the State of Chen", His Majesty the Emperor frowned.
Feng Yuan was also aware of His Majesty’s concerns. The court had quarreled more than two or three times about the envoy of Chen Guo. Most of the courtiers stood in a team with Prime Minister Lin, thinking that Chen Guo, since he had thrown out the olive branch, sent it again. A few cars and jewels are sincere enough to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. Qi should enter into a friendly covenant with him. It would be great if he could borrow some soldiers, horses and money from Chen to quell part of the domestic rebellion.
Feng Yuan didn't think so. On the contrary, he always felt that the current emperor of Chen Guo had the ambition to compete in the world, and that Chen Guo was located to the west, which was far inferior to Qi in terms of geography. The vast fertile land of Qi was a great place for Chen. A piece of fat that must be gnawed down, and now an envoy is sent to show his favor, for fear of another conspiracy.
His Majesty the Emperor nodded and said, "I see these Chen State envoys are a group of weasels, they must be uneasy and kind."
From the very beginning, after learning that Chen Guo sent the envoy, His Majesty resisted it. How could Feng Yuan guess that His Majesty and Niang Niang were reborn, thinking that although His Majesty was young and naive, he was brilliant and brilliant. See through Chen Guo's ambition. He said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister has already mentioned Hongyousiqing according to your majesty's will. The new Hongyousiqing is a long-sleeved dance and exquisite talent. He will not say anything that shouldn't be said. ."
His Majesty the emperor nodded and listened to Feng Yuan's words: "This time the envoy of Chen Guo came to try our country's national strength. The minister heard that the envoy was Chen Guobo and Yuan Hou Qin Shu. This person is kind and talkative on the surface, but in reality Cunning and suspicious, when your Majesty sees him tomorrow, his attitude should be tougher in order to deter him."
Hearing Feng Yuan scolding Chen's envoy, His Majesty the Emperor was delighted. He nodded and said, "Aiqing rest assured." Acting, I am the best at it!
Although your Majesty may be a little tired and lazy at times, he has always done very well what he has promised. Feng Yuan relaxed, so he retired, and he wanted to mention the following people again.
While discussing how to deal with Chen State on Qi State's side, Chen Guoren was also calculating how to deal with Qi State.
As soon as Boyuan Hou Qin Shu arrived in Tongzhou, he met the Qi officials who came to greet him. After a long and friendly conversation between the two sides, Qin Shu got into the carriage on the grounds of fatigue on the road.
The people of Qi State Honghe Temple took hundreds of Qi State soldiers and escorted them from Tongzhou to Qi State’s Kyoto.
The carriage shook slightly and moved forward. Bo Yuanhou raised the curtain and glanced at the soldiers of the Qi State. They were all sturdy, tall and strong. The horses were also tall and vigorous.
He lowered the curtain and began to ponder.
In the carriage, besides him, there was also Qin Yuan, the youngest son of Chen Guo who accompanied him on the mission.
He said to his son: "How do you feel about Qi Guo after this journey?"
A few months ago, the people of Chen State could sneak into Qi State to inquire about news by various means. However, since February, Qi State’s defenses have suddenly become tighter. The border checkpoints and the fortresses in Qi’s domestic fortresses have also become much tighter. Some of the spies who sneaked into the Qi state almost couldn't return to the Chen state... and all of this has changed since the little emperor of the Qi state began to work diligently.
This is the first time Qin Yuan has come to Qi. As envoys, their every move is under the honest supervision of Qi. Everywhere they go, they will be surrounded by Qi officials and even want to get out. Take a look at the inn, and will be followed closely by the people of Qi in the name of "protection."
So what they can really see is not much. Qin Yuan thought about it for a moment, and then replied: "On this journey, Qi country is far richer than the child expected, and the soldiers who greet him all the way are tall and strong. This Qi country is not easy to deal with."
Bo Yuanhou shook his head and said, "What you see is only the surface. We came along this road and walked in the northern part of Qi. The emperor of Qi is in the northern part. Here is where most of the dignitaries and dignitaries of Qi are gathered. Looks prosperous. Of course, there is another possibility. All of this was specially arranged for us by the people of Qi to mislead us. The former emperor of Qi died suddenly. At that time, six princes were fighting for the throne, and the country was in chaos for a long time. I'm afraid that Qi Guo hasn't recovered until now."
Hou Bo Yuan squinted his eyes and said, "It's a pity that your majesty hadn't ascended the throne during the Qi internal turmoil. If your majesty had ascended the throne a few years earlier, he would be able to..."
Qin Shu didn't finish what he said in the next paragraph, but Qin Yuan understood what his father meant. His Majesty was a great talent. If he had taken the throne a few years earlier, maybe Qi Guo would have been included in their Chen Guo's territory.
Bo Yuanhou looked solemnly and said: "You can enter the capital of Qi country before this evening. You have to be vigilant. You have fallen into the trap of Qi people."
Qin Yuan arched his hands and said, "My boy understands."
Bo Yuanhou nodded with satisfaction when he looked at the young boy with red lips and white teeth, and the graceful spirit. He said in his heart: Although it is a pity that the number of car jewels that he brought has to be dedicated to the Emperor Qi, it is still very worthwhile to take this opportunity to enter the Daqi Palace and test out the true strength of Daqi.
Thinking of His Majesty’s instructions before leaving, Bo Yuanhou’s eyes sharpened...
The evening light followed the top of the tree and slowly climbed to the root of the wall of the mulberry garden.
Dozens of palace ladies are each stepping on a ladder, trying to pick the tenderest leaves from the mulberry tree before night falls, so that they can cut into thin strips to feed the silkworms later.
When Gu Zhaorong was taken in by Concubine Yao, his eyes fell on the rows of mulberry trees with some surprise.
Seeing her surprise, Yao Yanyan said: "These mulberry trees were transplanted from various places by our own house. Fortunately, the weather is warm now. If it is in February, it might not survive."
Seeing Gu Zhaorong nodding her head obediently, her eyes couldn't stop looking at the long row of wing rooms behind the mulberry tree, Yao Yanyan realized how cute this woman was. She took Gu Zhaorong to one of the wing rooms.
This row of wing rooms has been opened up. There are many wooden shelves inside. The wooden shelves are all woven baskets for raising silkworms. These baskets are all square and covered with two layers of fine cloth to prevent the young silkworms from catching cold. A layer of mulberry leaves cut into thin strips is spread again for the young silkworms that have just hatched.
Since discovering the white and fat silkworm, Yao Yanyan has found a lot of silkworm eggs on the mulberry tree. She asked people to carefully collect these silkworm eggs and put them in a warm place for two days. These young silkworms were able to escape smoothly. The silkworm eggs came out. To her regret, many silkworm eggs died and failed to hatch.
At present, the empty space in this row of wing rooms is still very large, but Yao Yanyan estimates that at the speed of silkworm breeding, it will not be long before this row of wing rooms will be full.
At that time... Yao Yanyan fantasized about herself and her majesty lying in the Jinshan Yinshan, and she couldn't help but narrowed her eyes with a smile.
Gu Zhaorong didn't know what Yao Guifei was thinking. She was not afraid of these silkworms. On the contrary, seeing the white silkworms lying chubby among the mulberry leaves, she felt a little cute.
She looked down for a while, then turned to Yao Yanyan and said, "Don't worry, my concubine will take good care of the mulberry field and these silkworms."
Yao Yanyan trusted Gu Zhaorong very much. She said, "The palace will give you this place." Yao Yanyan is now in charge of the entire harem. Tiandu takes care of Sang Yuan and has to deal with other affairs. She is afraid that she will be crazy.
So I can only pick someone who I can trust to take care of Sang Yuan for her, and Gu Zhaorong is an excellent candidate.
Since last time I told Gu Zhaorong that she would be released from the palace, and ended up making Gu Zhaorong cry, Yao Yanyan hasn't mentioned it again. Now that she is watching Gu Zhaorong, she seems to have paid no attention to it.
Seeing Gu Zhaorong circling the silkworm with interest, Yao Yanyan felt relieved. She began to think about other things, such as recently let the harem concubine stay in the house to weave, but the efficiency has been very low.
Yao Yanyan has never been in contact with looms from her last life until now. She was surprised to find that these concubines in the harem were busy weaving half a piece of cloth for seven days. She also went to observe and found that the steps of using those looms were very cumbersome. The fastest female worker in the Weaving Bureau can weave a piece of cloth in seven days.
This is a matter of course in everyone's eyes. A few concubines who just started to learn to weave made half a horse in seven days, and they were so happy that they couldn't put it down with the cloth they made by themselves.
Yao Yanyan felt inexplicably, why are these looms so slow? Isn't the loom weaving fast? It can't weave by itself, just need someone to look at it by the side? Why is it so slow and requires people to do it themselves? What kind of loom is this
Yao Yanyan was full of doubts. She felt that these looms must be too backward.
She thought about going back to the Majesty in the evening to ask the people of the Ministry of Engineering to start a project, such as a major transformation of the loom, from weaving one horse in seven days to five in seven days. The speed has increased and the output has increased. Wouldn't they be able to make a lot of money again
Yao Yanyan's eyes brightened when she thought of making money. She was about to return to Feiluan Palace, when she suddenly heard the singing of the palace from outside. It turned out to be her Majesty.
She led people out to greet her, and saw His Majesty walking ahead, and Father Gao followed behind with the silkworm rearing basket.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Yao Yanyan doesn't need to salute like everyone else. Seeing your Majesty, she rushed over.
His Majesty the Emperor steadily caught her, and lifted the person in his arms, wondering: "Ai Concubine, why are you so lighter?"
Yao Yanyan said happily: "Huh? Really? I'm really lighter?"
Seeing the happy concubine, His Majesty the Emperor raised his eyebrows, "What good is it to be light? It must be that you have eaten too little these days."
Hearing the words, Gao Gonggong laughed and said, "Your Majesty, the servants have not seen the empress all down. It should be that you have been effective in your recent hard work. If you have more strength, you feel that your empress is lighter."
Your Majesty loves to hear these words. His Majesty the Emperor embraced his concubine and said, "My concubine is too thin, so it is better to be a little fatter."
Yao Yanyan stood on tiptoe, touched her majesty's cheek with her cheek, and smiled: "Your Majesty really thinks that way?"
"That's natural!" His Majesty the Emperor thought naturally: a little fatter, with flesh on his body, it feels comfortable to the touch! The thin ones don't look good.
His Majesty the Emperor himself came to the mulberry garden this time, intending to pick a few fat-bodied silkworms into his basket, so after talking to Concubine Ai for a while, he went to pick silkworms in the wing.
When they were talking affectionately and affectionately, Gu Zhaorong stood aside and watched quietly, with a bit of envy and longing in his eyes.
When Mr. Gao saw this, he thought that Gu Zhaorong was going to have a delusion, so he quickly whispered: "Master Zhaorong, now my mother likes you and respects you, and I will leave the mulberry garden to you. Don't be foolish and approach you. Your Majesty, otherwise I can't spare you with your empress's temperament." Gao Gonggong also understands Yao Guifei's temperament. She has a very uncomfortable appearance. In fact, she has a very good temper and never embarrass her harem concubine. Of course, this premise is that these women in the harem did not approach your majesty. At the beginning, Li Guifei was just going to go to bed, so she was kicked into the snow by the empress. If there are any women who dare to climb on the dragon bed of your majesty, she is afraid that she will be the first. One is about to rush up and tear people apart!
Niang Niang's jealous temperament is also owed to your majesty's indulgence, otherwise, I am afraid that this palace will have long been repellent and it will be difficult to rest.
After hearing this, Gu Zhaorong did not dislike it. Instead, he thanked him and explained: "My father-in-law misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I just think... Your Majesty and Niang Niang are so good. I... Envy." Unfortunately, she was already. Entering the palace, the kind of joy between ordinary husband and wife, she is afraid that she will not get it in this life.
At night, Yao Yanyan and her Majesty returned to Feiluan Palace. After the two had dinner, she saw her Majesty shoveling silkworm feces enthusiastically, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Fengyang is pregnant."
His Majesty the Emperor was stunned.
Yao Yanyan sat at the table and sighed with her chin, "Your Majesty, you said Fengyang is so good. She has only been married to Yuan Hao for two months, and she has been pregnant for more than a month. It is really the envy of the concubine. The concubine also thinks. Want a baby."
Yao Yanyan originally thought that her Majesty, who was more eager for the birth of a child than she, would discuss with her how Feng Yang and Yuan Hao had a child so quickly. Who knows that her Majesty suddenly spoke after a short period of frustration. Said: "Ai concubine, I think we'd better not have children for the time being."
Eh eh eh
Yao Yanyan looked at Your Majesty in surprise, "Why?"
The author has something to say:
I originally wanted to finish writing your majesty's reason, but when I looked at the time, it was so late and I quickly posted it. Why is this chapter so late today, because the author was taking a nap today, and originally planned to wake up until 3:30 to write, and then woke up, thinking that it was only 3:30, I looked at my phone for a while, 4:40. It's five o'clock. Ah, I got up immediately, but after sleeping for too long, my head was empty and I couldn't write a word. Then drag it so late o(╥﹏╥)o
