After Retiring from Marriage, I became the Favorite of a Powerful Minister

Shi Qingluo, an expert in agriculture, opened her eyes after her death and transmigrated into an ancient peasant girl.

In the beginning, she was sold by her family and forcibly taken away to ...

Chapter 212 Just Know It

After the emperor ordered people to investigate the matter, he asked the palace servant to summon the Minister of Works to the palace.

Naturally, the news spread.

Everyone was a little confused. Why did the emperor summon the Minister of Works into the palace as soon as Shi Qingluo and the other two left?

The Minister of Works was also confused.

But after he finished reading the few pieces of paper given by the emperor, he immediately showed an excited expression.

"Your Majesty, if this iron smelting method is successful, it can save a lot of money."

The Ministry of Works is short of money recently, but the old guys at the Ministry of Revenue are so stingy that they are holding back on paying.

Now that he has the prescription, he can openly go to the Minister of Revenue to ask for money.

If refined iron is produced, it will be of great benefit to the Ministry of Industry.

The emperor nodded and said, "No matter how much manpower and financial resources are used, we must refine this fine iron as soon as possible."

The Minister of Industry smiled and said, "I obey your command."

Then he couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, is the source of this recipe reliable?"

He was afraid that after all the trouble he put in, nothing would come out of it, and the old guys in the Ministry of Revenue would definitely stare at him and ridicule him.

The emperor said truthfully: "This is the recipe left by the old Taoist priest who gave me a good seed."

“He also left behind the cement recipe.”

The Minister of Industry understood immediately, "That shouldn't be a big problem."

The cement was also developed by their Ministry of Industry according to the recipe, and it is indeed easy to use.

So today Shi Qingluo went to the palace to present a prescription? He thought for a moment and asked again, "Your Majesty, should this news be kept secret?"

The emperor waved his hand, "No need."

"If someone asks you when you go out, just tell the truth."

He added, "For example, there is no need to hide the fact that this recipe was specially presented by the old Taoist apprentice Shi Qingluo."

The Minister of Industry smiled and nodded, "I obey your order!"

It seems that the emperor still thinks highly of Shi Qingluo.

Let him go out and speak, isn't it just to build momentum for the other party?

Soon, the Minister of Works left the palace with the prescription.

He did not go home, but went to the Ministry of Industry.

He was now impatient to refine the fine iron.

I met a colleague on the road, and he asked me about me intentionally or unintentionally.

The Minister of Works told Shi Qingluo about the prescription without hesitation.

He knew that the emperor wanted the news to spread.

Then all the well-informed families in the capital also found out.

It turned out that Shi Qingluo had entered the palace before to present a recipe for iron smelting.

Many people also turned around and couldn't help but admire her in their hearts, saying that they had really underestimated this village woman before.

There is no need to talk about the good seeds. He just offered a new recipe for iron smelting and used this achievement to file a complaint. What a smart man!

If nothing unexpected happens, the matter of the Third Prince's wife will not be easy.

Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong left the palace and went straight back to their residence.

At this time, Xiao Hanzheng had not returned yet, so she met Mr. Hou first.

Hou Lao asked with concern: "You were frightened today, are you okay?"

Shi Qingluo smiled and replied, "I'm fine."

Then she took the initiative to tell her about her trip to the palace and the emperor's promise to give her justice.

Mr. Hou was also surprised, and then smiled, "You did a good job on this matter."

"It was even smarter not to mention the Third Prince's Consort in front of His Majesty."

He thought for a moment and said, “It looks like the Emperor will severely punish the Third Prince’s wife, but he won’t do it in the name of harming you.”

"After all, this is a royal scandal. If the people knew that you donated your seed and the royal daughter-in-law asked someone to do something like this, the impact would be very bad."

He added meaningfully: "I'm also afraid someone will make a fuss about it."

Shi Qingluo knew about the prince in the fiefdom, she nodded and smiled, "You are right, I just want to teach the Third Prince's wife a lesson, to let everyone know that I am not easy to bully."

"I don't care in the end what the name is."

So from beginning to end today, she never mentioned the Third Prince's Consort in front of the Emperor.

She was originally showing it to the aristocratic and powerful families, so as long as her goal was achieved, it would be fine.

"Just keep it in mind."

"Jin Yu went to see Censor Wu, and she will probably be back later."

As soon as Shi Qingluo heard it, she knew that her young husband was trying to use his power to help her vent her anger.

She smiled and nodded, "Yeah."

After saying something to Mr. Hou, Shi Qing returned to the yard.

I felt a little sleepy so I took a nap.

I was half asleep when I felt someone touching my face.

When she opened her eyes, she saw her husband looking at her tenderly.

"You're back."

She asked again, "Is it going well?"

Xiao Hanzheng stretched out his hand to pull Shi Qingluo up and held him in his arms, "It went smoothly."

"I helped Censor Wu alleviate his condition today. I will go to his house for acupuncture and moxibustion in the next few days. I also prescribed medicine for him."

"His old illness won't come back this winter."

Shi Qingluo raised his hand and poked his face, and immediately flattered him, "My brother Zheng is awesome!"

"Thank you for your compliment, my lady." Xiao Hanzheng felt relieved as he hugged the man. "Did you go to the palace to present the iron smelting recipe today?"

He knew the iron smelting recipe in his young wife's hand, and they had originally discussed presenting it to Mo Qingling.

He asked this because he understood his young wife.

"Yes, that woman dared to scheme against me like this, of course I have to give it back."

Shi Qingluo showed a smug look, "She can bully others by taking advantage of her power, and so can I!"

Xiao Hanzheng kissed her, "That's right, my wife is someone who can't be bullied by anyone."

Shi Qingluo chuckled and said, "You won't let me be bullied."

Xiao Hanzheng also smiled and said, "Of course."

"By the way, Xi Rui went to the palace to see the Queen Mother today."

"Liang Youxiao found someone to release many of Fu Wenzheng's disgusting deeds, and also suppressed the shop that Fu Wenzheng brought as a dowry."

"Fei Yuzhe also went to his friends in the literary circle and told them about how you were almost bullied. Many people wrote articles satirizing the incident, and it became a big deal."

"There will be a good show in the capital tomorrow."

This was something Xiao Hanzheng had not expected.

He didn't expect that Xi Rui and others would openly go against the Third Prince's wife for the sake of their young wife.

It’s worth it for the young wife to have these playboy friends.

Shi Qingluo was also very surprised, "They actually came out to support me!"

"What a good friend." She felt warm in her heart.

Then he asked worriedly, "Will the person above be unhappy if they jump out like this?"

Xiao Hanzheng rubbed her face and said, "No, the person above is not so narrow-minded."

"Moreover, they didn't represent the family. They just stood up for you as friends."

"The one above will turn a blind eye."

Of course, without the support of the family, those people would have been captured long ago.

Therefore, the Liang family, the Xi family and the Fei family were actually showing goodwill to them, and he accepted this favor.

Shi Qingluo finally felt relieved, "As expected, you are the one who is most suited to these twists and turns. I'd better focus on farming and breeding in the future."

Playing those things in the court is really not suitable for her.

Xiao Hanzheng laughed out loud, "Okay, leave these to me, you just need to be beautiful and happy every day."

Shi Qingluo's smile overflowed from his eyes, "You are obviously as beautiful as a flower."

The little husband has become more and more handsome under her care recently.

Xiao Hanzheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then let's go together."

Why would a man like him need to be as beautiful as a flower?

But as long as my wife is happy.
