Chapter 1361 Refusing to Mockery
Anyway, he will never leave her side, as long as he is there, she will be safe.
Shao Yunduan mentioned this matter to the prince, using the reason of collecting seeds.
If it was just about accompanying the princess, the prince would probably hesitate, after all, there was no such precedent.
But Shao Yunduan said that Qiao Xuan is good at flowers and crops, and maybe there will be some gains along the way. If there is, wouldn’t it be a benefit to Daqin?
Potatoes, strawberries, and the previous incident of the peony coming back to life, there was no need for Shao Yunduan to explain much, the prince had already filled in the blanks himself.
He didn't think Shao Yunduan was lying.
The prince couldn't help but be very excited!
"I have agreed to this matter, but there is no need to rush to announce it to the outside world. It will not be too late to announce it when we are almost ready to set off."
By then, even if someone wants to sabotage it will be too late.
Shao Yunduan actually had the same idea, and he bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your help! In that case, I will let Qiao make preparations first."
"Yes," the prince nodded. Seeing Shao Yunduan's eyebrows softened when he mentioned Qiao Xuan, his tone also subconsciously became gentle. He sighed with emotion in his heart and couldn't help but said with a smile: "Shao Qing and Qiao are truly a loving couple, but it's inevitable that it's monotonous and boring to have only one person around. Besides, we will have to travel thousands of mountains and rivers on the way next spring, and it would be good to have more people to take care of us on the way. Why don't I ask the Crown Princess to pick an honest, knowledgeable and interesting person to give to Shao Qing, so that she can take care of him at least a little bit?"
Shao Yunduan subconsciously felt a sense of disgust and an indescribable unhappiness.
"Your Highness, you are joking. I don't want anyone else by my side in this life. I only have my wife, Qiao, by my side, and she is enough for me!"
The prince's face froze slightly. Although it was half serious and half joking, Shao Yunduan's refusal without even a second thought made him feel a little embarrassed.
Shao Yunduan naturally saw it, and sighed in his heart. He could only smile and self-deprecatingly said: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, I really don't have the ability to manage the inner court. I have a headache just thinking about too many women. I am afraid that they will fight overtly and secretly and cause chaos. Wouldn't it be terrible if the family is in chaos? I think it's better to keep it simple. Having a wife and children to carry on the family line is enough! If I have the time and energy to deal with them, I would rather share your worries and do my job well!"
The prince laughed loudly upon hearing this, and said, "Shao Qing's idea is quite different! But this is also very good!"
The prince narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Shao Qing, please do your job well for me, and don't worry, I will never let you suffer any loss."
Shao Yunduan bowed: "Your Majesty, I will always remember your kindness. Your Majesty has given me a lot."
The prince laughed and was even more satisfied.
On this day, the emperor's reward for potatoes also came down.
The emperor's reward was naturally higher than that of the crown prince, and Shao Yunduan had really made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. The reward would not be less.
Qiao Xuan made a greater contribution in this matter, but as a woman, she was destined to suffer losses in such matters. The prince could remember her kindness, so how could the emperor argue?
Shao Yunduan gave all the twenty rolls of brocade, four jade ornaments, and a gold-inlaid jade ruyi as rewards to Qiao Xuan, and said with a smile, "This is originally the credit of my lady, my lady, please keep them all!"
Qiao Xuan did not refuse and said with a smile: "My husband's things are naturally mine, and my achievements are also my husband's achievements. Why should we distinguish between them?"
