Chapter 140 The fairy came on light and gave me the elixir of immortality

The Queen Mother and the Empress were happily eating potato chips in Lingyin Pavilion, while Emperor Jingning was discussing matters with a group of ministers in Xuande Hall.

The flood season came early this year, with heavy rainfall, causing dike breaches in many places in Zhuo County, repeated floods and tens of thousands of displaced people.

In other words, disaster rescue and relief efforts are urgent.

Although people were sent to Zhuo County to provide disaster relief as soon as possible, people from the Ministry of Works were also asked to supervise the repair of water conservancy projects.

But the whole court was still worried, because Zhuo County was located on the border between Daliang and Dongli, and the terrain was dangerous.

If the disaster is not handled properly and causes riots among the refugees, the consequences will be disastrous.

Furthermore, disasters are often followed by plagues, and if the disaster relief is not handled properly, plagues may easily break out.

Although there were also imperial physicians and relief teams going to Zhuo County, people still couldn't help but worry.

Fortunately, news has come from Zhuo County today that the breach in the dam has been fixed, the disaster has been brought under control, and most of the refugees have been settled.

The imperial physicians and doctors who rushed to the scene from all over the country were using various methods to prevent the epidemic. According to the current situation in Zhuo County, the plague should not occur.

The problem that had troubled Emperor Jingning for days was finally solved, and the huge stone that had been weighing on everyone's hearts was finally put down.

After the meeting, Emperor Jingning thought about the crisis in Zhuo County that had been resolved, and also about Shen Zhaonian's hurried entry into the palace to report to him the day before, and he suddenly felt very relieved.

An Desheng looked at Emperor Jingning's expression and winked at the palace maid beside him.

The maid understood and withdrew.

Soon, she brought in several palace maids to serve tea to Emperor Jingning and the ministers, and placed snacks in front of them.

Emperor Jingning was originally thinking about Shen Zhaonian's words, and when he saw the golden and crispy potato chips, he was indescribably excited.

Farmland is the foundation of a country. If this kind of fruit can really be mass-produced and fill the stomach as Shen Zhaonian said, then it will be a great achievement that will last for hundreds of years and benefit all the people.

Food is the most important thing for people. It is not a big deal to ensure that all people have enough food to eat. Only when the people of the entire Daliang have enough food to eat can he be considered a qualified emperor and can he truly stabilize the people's hearts.

This is truly a benefit to the present and future generations!!

What the Xiao family's ancestors had failed to accomplish could be solved in his time.

When he really gets down there and meets the ancestors of the Xiao family, he won't be short of breath.

Hahaha! ! !

Emperor Jingning was eating crispy potato chips with a "crunch crunch" sound while happily imagining the future in his heart.

The ministers who drank tea silently: ...

They discovered from the beginning that His Majesty's snacks were different from theirs.

For some reason, I always feel that this scene is extremely familiar.

…

After Shen Zhaonian learned from Shen Huazheng that potatoes could be mass-produced, he hurried to meet Emperor Jingning and informed him of the matter.

Emperor Jingning was overjoyed and quickly summoned Shen Huazheng.

When Shen Huazheng arrived at the palace, Emperor Jingning was discussing matters with his ministers in the Xuande Hall.

An Desheng kindly reminded Shen Huazheng that she could go to the nearby small garden for a stroll first, and when Emperor Jingning finished his meeting, he would send someone to look for her.

Although the small garden near Xuande Hall is not as big as the Imperial Garden, it also has flowing water, mountains and rocks, and a profound artistic conception.

In terms of its exquisiteness and splendor, it is probably hard to find one or two like it in the capital.

Chen Huazheng was led by the palace maid and walked slowly into the garden, admiring the beautiful scenery while sighing in her heart.

Suddenly a voice full of surprise sounded——

"Sister Zheng, why are you here?"

Xiao Jingran suddenly jumped in front of Shen Huazheng from somewhere, his cute little face full of smiles.

He, the crown prince, and several other princes had just finished their classes.

When they passed by this small garden, the prince suddenly suggested coming in to enjoy the beautiful scenery and relax.

I didn’t expect to meet Shen Huazheng here.

Shen Huazheng smiled and said, “Your Majesty summoned me, so I entered the palace.”

Although Xiao Jingran is young, he is very smart.

He saw at a glance that the palace maids and eunuchs following Shen Huazheng were An Desheng's men, and he realized that Emperor Jingning must be busy at the moment.

"Sister Zheng, let Ran'er take you around the garden. Ran'er is very familiar with this place."

Xiao Jingran pulled Shen Huazheng forward while chirping: "There is a rockery in front, and it sprays water. It's very beautiful. I'll take Sister Zheng to see it."

"By the way, Sister Zheng, the chestnut crisps you gave me last time were so delicious."

"It's just that mother said that if I eat too much snacks, I won't be able to eat any rice, so she won't let me eat too much. But I've already seen that father and mother secretly ate a lot of my chestnut cakes. They were just trying to coax me."

Xiao Jingran felt unhappy whenever he thought of that incident. That chestnut pastry was the most delicious snack he had ever eaten.

Each one is small and round. The golden skin of the snack is sprinkled with many black sesame seeds, which looks delicious.

Gently bite open the chestnut crispy skin, you will find that the crispy skin is layered and looks difficult to bite open, but it actually melts in your mouth.

After the outer crust melted, the fragrant chestnut paste inside all flowed out from the snow-white crust.

Mixed with the sweetness of honey and a hint of milky flavor, it is soft in the mouth and makes people feel satisfied.

Such a delicious snack, but half of it was secretly eaten by my father and mother.

The key is that they still refuse to admit it.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Shen Huazheng looked at Jamel Xiao’s puffed up face and couldn’t help but find it funny.

She took out the box she brought with her and said, "I didn't bring any chestnut crisps this time, but Sister Zheng brought some freshly made sesame balls. Ran'er, would you like to try some?"

Xiao Jingran was overjoyed, "Yes!"

"Ah Ran, how come you ran so fast that no one was around in an instant?"

The prince followed from behind and saw Xiao Jingran and Shen Huazheng standing next to him.

Threads of light shone through the scattered leaves onto Shen Huazheng's body, covering her with a hazy glow, making her look like a dream.

The prince was slightly startled. The elder sister in front of him had cloud-like hair and fair skin, and her whole body seemed to be glowing.

Looking closely, she was holding a wooden box in her hand and was handing Xiao Jingran something that looked like a pill.

The prince felt that he could not move his eyes away, and suddenly a sentence came to his mind: "The fairy came on the light and gave me the elixir of immortality."

His mouth was faster than his brain. He looked at Chen Huazheng absentmindedly and said, "Fairy, fairy..."
