After Emperor Jingli finished speaking, he turned around without hesitation and entered the inner room.
?
Liao Qingqing was very surprised.
She looked at He Xiang and asked, "Have you made the emperor angry?"
He Xiang quickly shook his head and said, "No slaves."
"What happened to the emperor?"
"I don't know." He Xiang shook his head, and then said boldly: "Could it be that the master is provoking the emperor?"
"???impossible!"
He Xiang quickly lowered his head and fell silent.
Liao Qingqing didn't mean to lose her temper. She didn't say a few words to Emperor Jingli today, how could she possibly provoke him? She said, "I'd better go take a look."
He Xiang nodded: "Yes."
Liao Qingqing stepped into the inner room.
Emperor Jingli was sitting on the soft couch reading a book.
"Your Majesty." Liao Qingqing called softly.
Emperor Jingli replied without raising his head, "Yes."
"Do you drink tea? The concubine will pour you tea."
"Hmm." Emperor Jingli's face tensed.
Liao Qingqing poured tea for Emperor Jingli, held a tea bowl in both hands, and handed it to Emperor Jingli. Emperor Jingli stretched out his hand to take it, and Liao Qingqing asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"
Emperor Jingli still didn't look at Liao Qingqing and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Liao Qingqing asked cautiously, "Are you not angry just now?"
"Why am I angry?"
"??? Are you not angry?"
"What are you angry about?"
"You said just now, 'Do potatoes look better than me', aren't you angry?"
"Oh, are you angry?" Emperor Jingli raised his eyes, looked at Liao Qingqing with dark and deep eyes, and asked with a raised eyebrow.
Liao Qingqing doubted herself and asked, "Isn't it?"
"yes?"
"..." Liao Qingqing couldn't tell.
Emperor Jingli asked with a half-smile but not a smile: "Then Concubine Ai, tell me why I am angry?"
"Yes..." Liao Qingqing thought for a moment. Emperor Jingli was moody. She really couldn't guess what Emperor Jingli was thinking, but she knew that Emperor Jingli ascended the throne at the age of thirteen and was accustomed to being the center of the world, so she boldly guessed: "Is it because the concubines are not serving well?"
Hearing that, Emperor Jingli didn't say anything and continued to read.
?
Guess it right
Didn't guess right
Liao Qingqing didn't know what Emperor Jingli meant.
Seeing that Emperor Jingli did not speak.
She sat opposite Emperor Jingli and picked up the salt and pepper peanuts on the plate.
With a sound of "click", he gently peeled out the peanut kernels and placed them in the jade plate in front of Emperor Jingli silently.
Emperor Jingli caught a glimpse of a small slender hand in the corner of his eye.
From time to time the little hand was sent towards him.
After a while, the small plate in front of him was full of peanuts.
He felt amused in his heart, raised his eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"
Liao Qingqing replied: "For the emperor to eat."
"I don't want to eat peanuts."
"The concubine will peel the walnuts for you."
"Walnuts are hard to peel."
"It's not hard to peel the paper."
Liao Qingqing reached out and took a walnut.
Emperor Jingli was originally angry. Liao Qingqing only had potatoes in his eyes these days, and he didn't have time to look at him. He didn't want to talk about Liao Qingqing, and couldn't help but say "Is potatoes better than me?"
When he's done talking, he's relieved.
Calm down and feel too childish.
But he just wanted to do it.
Seeing Liao Qingqing walk in, his eyes were bright, and he asked him what was wrong, and in that instant he was out of anger.
Where is she willing to let her peel walnuts.
"I, don't eat walnuts." Emperor Jingli said again.
Liao Qingqing looked at Emperor Jingli in surprise.
Emperor Jingli said, "It's dinner time."
"Oh yes, have dinner." Liao Qingqing said.
As soon as he arrived at the dinner table, Liao Qingqing kept adding vegetables to Emperor Jingli.
Emperor Jingli was at ease physically and mentally, and there was no gas left.
During the walk, Emperor Jingli took the initiative to ask Liao Qingqing about potato planting. Liao Qingqing said, "It's going well."
"Oh? How is it going?" Emperor Jingli asked.
Liao Qingqing said, "My concubine thought that it was the best time to plant potatoes at that time, but I didn't expect that now is the best time to grow potatoes."
"What do you say?" Emperor Jingli became interested.
Liao Qingqing explained: "Your Majesty, when the concubine transplanted the umbrella flower, it took the boss's energy to sprout and bloom, but this kind of concubine and the director of the Department of Agriculture and Wealth Planting, it's only a month, the Department of Agriculture and Wealth Management. The potatoes are all green there."
"Really?" Emperor Jingli asked in surprise.
"Yeah." Liao Qingqing nodded and said, "At present, it seems that the capital is very suitable for potato growth, but I don't know how the potato production is."
"When will it be harvested?" Emperor Jingli asked.
Liao Qingqing replied, "Around the Dragon Boat Festival."
"good."
"Well, the concubine recently recorded the growth time of potatoes, the soil they like, and the frequency of watering with the director of the agricultural department. Maybe two seasons can be planted a year. The director of the agricultural department estimated the potatoes based on the potatoes grown by the concubine The yield of potatoes per mu is more than five times higher than that of wheat and rice. If two crops are planted a year, the common people may no longer have to go hungry." Liao Qingqing's bright eyes are full of hope for the future.
Emperor Jingli stared silently.
Suddenly I felt that my sentence "Do potatoes look better than me?" was really inappropriate.
It was he who looked down on Liao Qingqing.
Ashamed, he stretched his arms around Liao Qingqing's shoulders.
Liao Qingqing looked at Emperor Jingli suspiciously.
Emperor Jingli said: "Qingqing, if you dare to do it, I will support you."
Emperor Jingli was handsome, especially his eyes. Once the tenderness overflowed, it would be a matter of minutes to drown someone. At this moment, Liao Qingqing felt numb in his heart. This Emperor Jingli was too charming.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Liao Qingqing was stunned, Emperor Jingli reached out and pinched his nose, "What are you thinking?"
"Your Majesty, you are pinching your concubine again." Liao Qingqing reached out and covered her nose.
Emperor Jingli put his arms around Liao Qingqing and returned to the inner room, looking like he was in a good mood.
Liao Qingqing asked boldly: "Then the concubine dares to do it, the emperor is not angry."
"why are you mad?"
"What if the concubines are not well served?"
"..." Emperor Jingli touched his nose and said, "There are so many palace maids and eunuchs, how can they be so careless?"
"Then the emperor won't be angry anymore?"
"Naturally." Emperor Jingli smiled.
"Your Majesty, you are so kind." Liao Qingqing hugged Emperor Jingli's arm.
Emperor Jingli couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
Liao Qingqing took potatoes to heart again.
With the support of Emperor Jingli, Liao Qingqing not only greeted Concubine Liang Gui, but also visited the Empress Dowager occasionally.
Most of the time it's on top of the potatoes.
The Minister of Household and the Director of the Department of Agricultural Products have great expectations for potatoes.
At this time, Liao Qingqing remembered the poisonous thing about potatoes sprouting.
She didn't quite understand it before.
Later, she specifically asked the doctor.
The doctor said that potatoes themselves contain a substance called solanine.
The normal potato content is very small and will not cause harm to the human body.
but-
In order to resist the invasion of pests, sprouted potatoes will produce a large amount of toxic substance solanine to protect themselves. Once people eat it by mistake, it will stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, accompanied by hemolysis and paralysis of the respiratory center.
Mild cases are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and other symptoms.
In severe cases, death will occur.
She couldn't tell this theory to the Minister of Household and the Director of the Department of Agriculture.
They may not believe it yet.
But she can speak with facts.
That means the rabbit is sick.
The Minister of the Household and the Director of the Department of Agriculture immediately raised their vigilance.
Immediately afterwards, he and Liao Qingqing conducted experiments and researches on potatoes.
Liao Qingqing took the opportunity to put forward the theory that "potato sprouting is poisonous".
After repeated experiments, Liao Qingqing's "guess" was confirmed.
The two ministers of the household department admired Liao Qingqing even more.
Seeing Liao Qingqing was almost more respectful than seeing Emperor Jingli.
The story of Liao Qingqing growing potatoes was spread in the imperial court, but Emperor Jingli did not speak, and the Ministry of Household did not dare to say anything.
Everyone is very curious about this "Xi Zhaorong".
I also really want to know what the "potato" is.
After the queen mother heard about it, she specially looked at the potatoes, which was very novel.
But Liang Guifei and others didn't know what a potato was.
But they firmly believed that this was Emperor Jingli's method, and that Emperor Jingli wanted to put gold on Liao Qingqing's body, to send Liao Qingqing to the queen's throne steadily, and to want everyone to be convinced of Liao Qingqing. oral.
Potato
Ha ha!
Excuse!
Liang Guifei and others were particularly dissatisfied.
The dislike for Liao Qingqing gradually became somewhat hidden.
Liao Qingqing also felt it.
However, she had little contact with the concubines of the harem.
When she first crossed over, she was a little good-natured, and the concubines couldn't seem to see her from a low background, so they didn't associate with her.
Later, she began to increase her ranking points, and the concubines waited for her to fall out of favor, and they also ignored her.
In the end, she was promoted to Xiurong and Zhaorong. The concubines found that the situation was not right and wanted to get close to her. At this time, the queen mother came back. talk.
She has virtually avoided a lot of friction.
Now she has Emperor Jingli's will, and she focused on potatoes, and didn't pay too much attention to the thoughts of the concubines, so she lived a very casual life. At this time, she received another letter from her mother Ji.
Without the pressure of Mr. Liao and Mrs. Liao, Ji's letters were sincere and natural.
First of all, I said that the bank note in the last letter has been returned to Master Liao.
Then ask her about the situation in the palace, whether there is any unsatisfactory situation, if it is unsatisfactory, hide it secretly, so as not to be discovered, so as not to cause trouble, be careful in everything, be more tact, and so on.
It's all a mother's concern and longing for her daughter.
Liao Qingqing's eyes were slightly sour.
At the end, Mrs. Ji also said that Mr. Liao Er had been promoted, and the emperor himself promoted him. From the eighth rank to the sixth rank, the salary also doubled.
I couldn't sleep at night when Mr. Liao Er was so happy.
Ji Shi is also very happy.
But Ji's still hoped that Liao Qingqing would take care of herself, protect herself carefully, and don't need to ask the emperor for anything, they are fine now... These peaceful words flowed on the paper, and Liao Qingqing felt at ease.
She suddenly had a special feeling for Ji.
This time, she put away the letter, thought about it, and replied again. Then, in the tone of her daughter, she hoped that her parents would be healthy and her younger brother would study hard.
After handing over the letter to Hexiang, Liao Qingqing felt inexplicably warm in her heart.
This is probably affection.
She exhaled.
Thinking that I hadn't been to the Shouxi Palace to see the Queen Mother for a long time, I took Hexiang to chat with the Queen Mother and talked about Qingming Festival.
Tomb-sweeping Day is coming soon.
On this day, Emperor Jingli brought his ministers to the imperial mausoleum to worship his ancestors.
After Liao Qingqing Liang Guifei and others went to the Empress Dowager's birthday palace to offer incense, they went out to explore the spring in various places in the harem.
I don't know if it was because of the Qingming Festival, Concubine Liang seemed to be friendlier to her than before.
friendly
Liao Qingqing felt something was wrong.
She would not believe that Concubine Liang would be friendly to her.
There might be some conspiracy behind it.
Just waiting to grab her braids.
She whispered to He Xiang: "Pay attention to your words and deeds."
When He Xiang heard this, she immediately became alert and alerted her surroundings.
So is Liao Qingqing.
The two masters and servants carefully spent the Ching Ming Festival.
There was no difference until everyone was separated.
Back at Lisheng Pavilion, Liao Qingqing sighed and leaned on the soft couch. After a while, it rained outside, she slowly sat up and said, "It's raining, and the emperor hasn't come back yet."
He Xiang said: "Master, the rain won't catch the emperor."
"Yes." Liao Qingqing lay down again and looked at the pattering rain.
I don't know how long it took, when footsteps sounded outside, she got up and looked, and saw a brightly dressed Emperor Jing Li striding towards this side, not waiting for Fu Sheng who was holding an umbrella behind her, she immediately got up to meet him. .
"Your Majesty, why don't you use an umbrella?" Liao Qingqing asked.
Emperor Jingli said, "Fusheng is walking too slowly."
Fusheng: "…"
Liao Qingqing took the handkerchief handed by Hexiang and quickly wiped the rain off Emperor Jingli's body. Emperor Jingli held Liao Qingqing's hand and asked, "Qingqing, do you miss me?"
"???"
"Think about it?"
Liao Qingqing felt inexplicably sweet in her heart and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine played Gobang with you yesterday."
"But I slept in the imperial study last night. I went to the imperial mausoleum early this morning. You haven't seen me for a day."
"Didn't we meet now?" Liao Qingqing asked back.
"You little thing with no conscience." Emperor Jingli pinched Liao Qingqing's nose, turned to take a bath, and said, "Go to sleep first."
"Yes."
Liao Qingqing sat on the bed.
After a while, Emperor Jingli sat down on the bed and asked Liao Qingqing what he did today.
Liao Qingqing answered truthfully.
Emperor Jingli asked, "You also wrote a letter to your mother?"
Liao Qingqing nodded.
"Written what?"
"I hope she will pay attention to her body, urge her concubine and younger brother to study hard, and make contributions to the Great Wei Dynasty in the future."
Emperor Jingli nodded with a smile and said, "Concubine Ai has done a good job."
Liao Qingqing also felt that she did a good job. Without Mr. Liao making trouble in the middle, everything was natural and she fell asleep contentedly.
After going to the Agriculture Department the next morning, I was busy in the study.
Just after writing a page, I suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the study.
She looked up and saw that it was Hexiang.
He Xiang walked in with a pale face.
"What's wrong?" Liao Qingqing asked in confusion.
Hexiang said: "Master, this servant just went to pick flowers, I heard, I heard—"
"What did you hear?" Liao Qingqing asked.
He Xiang clasped her clothes tightly in both hands and said, "My servant heard that something happened to the Liao Mansion."
"What happened to Liao Mansion?" Liao Qingqing's heart tightened and asked, "Which Liao Mansion?"
"Yes, it's Master Liao Er."
