Chapter 650 Pulling Carrots
"As long as I am still the emperor, there will only be you in the harem, and there will definitely not be any other concubines."
Jun Lie had just finished coaxing his daughter out when he heard Xiao Jiuyue's words. He walked over and took her in his arms, saying, "Those ministers are just bored after having a good meal. Let those ministers who have objections get busy tomorrow."
Xiao Jiuyue reached out and put some snacks into Jun Lie's mouth, and asked curiously, "How are you going to keep them busy?"
"How about you go to court tomorrow and listen?" Jun Lie suggested.
"No." Xiao Jiuyue refused repeatedly, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Originally, they complained that the palace was understaffed and that I, as a queen, lacked the virtues of a queen and was unwilling to fill the harem."
"If you let me attend court again, won't I become a scourge to the nation?"
Xiao Jiuyue raised an eyebrow and stuffed another piece of snack into his mouth, filling it completely. She glanced at him and said, "Look at you, aren't you causing me trouble?"
"Hmm." Jun Lie looked at the third dessert Xiao Jiuyue stuffed into his mouth and quickly refused, "Yuer, you can't eat anymore."
Jun Lie's words were almost incoherent. He said, "I didn't think it through."
Xiao Jiuyue finally put down the snacks in her hand and said, "When will the Women's Medical School be completed? Qinqin came to see me today specifically, wanting to go out of the palace with me."
"Oh no, he's worldly-wise." Xiao Jiuyue added.
"At the beginning of next month, the list of students studying female medicine will be almost finalized. Then we can go to the girls' school together?"
Jun Lie's words shocked Xiao Jiuyue even more, and she asked, "Do you want to go too?" She was the queen, and leaving the palace was already a tedious matter. If the emperor was added, it would be a huge commotion. What could she see?
"No, those ministers will definitely not agree." Xiao Jiuyue added before he could speak.
Jun Lie's lips curled slightly, and instead of telling her that he had to go, he changed the subject.
Soon, Xiao Jiuyue knew how Jun Lie found work for those ministers.
"Have all those ministers gone to farm?"
Xiao Jiuyue's eyes widened as she asked, "Jun Lie and all the ministers are going to plant the seeds for spring? No, it's not spring planting yet. Are they going to pull radishes?"
"Yes." Lian Xin said excitedly, "Your Majesty, after you have had breakfast, you should hurry up and leave. The Emperor has sent a carriage to wait for you at the palace gate. You can go back to the Marquis' Mansion for a walk."
"I really want to see what it looks like when the ministers pull radishes." When Xiao Jiuyue thought of those ministers pulling radishes in their official uniforms, the scene must be beautiful!
"Lianxin, tell the imperial kitchen... no, ask the chefs at Fengchun Tower to bring food and go to the fields to bring warmth and love to the emperor and his family."
Xiao Jiuyue ordered.
Lian Xin asked doubtfully, "My Lady, what if you don't return to the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Let's go back!" Xiao Jiuyue said without thinking, "Let's take a break today."
While Lianxin was confused, she finally understood what the Empress meant by taking a long time to be lazy. The little princess was sent to the Marquis' Mansion. The Empress stayed there for a while and then said that she was going to bring warmth to the Emperor.
"My queen, is this okay? The little princess has never left you."
"That's right, Madam. What if the little princess misses you?"
Luo Kui and Lian Xin both looked at her worriedly: "My Queen, this won't work. I'll stay and take care of the little princess."
"Don't you want to watch the fun?" Xiao Jiuyue asked specifically before leaving.
"I want to take care of the little princess." Lianxin is a mother now, and she is particularly worried about the little princess.
"Okay." Xiao Jiuyue generously let Lianxin take care of the little princess.
Xiao Jiuyue took Luokui and Donggui to send Wen Nuan off, saying, "Let's go and see what's going on... No, let's go and send Wen Nuan off properly."
This was the first time Xiao Jiuyue went out after becoming the queen. Looking at the bustling streets, Xiao Jiuyue was particularly excited.
They walked out of the city and arrived at the imperial villa. Before entering the villa, Xiao Jiuyue saw from afar the officials rolling up their sleeves and pulling radishes in the fields!
Even in the imperial farms outside Beijing, people still planted rice in the spring and after the autumn harvest, they turned the soil over and planted radishes and cabbages. Now, looking at those pampered officials pulling radishes there, it was inexplicably funny!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is there!" Luo Kui was sharp-eyed and saw the bright yellow figure at a glance, and said to Xiao Jiuyue who was standing beside him.
"Wow, tsk tsk, the speed of pulling radishes is really good!" Xiao Jiuyue gave a thumbs up. After comparing them all, Jun Lie's posture of pulling radishes was not only handsome, but more importantly, even though it was just a job like pulling radishes, Jun Lie looked exceptionally elegant while doing it.
"Luo Kui, go and tell the cooks to send everything to the kitchen. Don't tell the emperor that I was here."
Xiao Jiuyue sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at the busy figures in the field. She made a photo gesture with her hands. Unfortunately, she didn't have a camera, otherwise, it would be so memorable to record this scene.
Jun Lie, you, you are so awesome!
Xiao Jiuyue's lips curled up slightly, and her eyes were always on Jun Lie. He brought the officials here to pull radishes for her sake, and she couldn't hold Jun Lie back!
Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, Xiao Family.
As a princess, Xiao Xingxing returned to the Xiao family, and everyone in the Xiao family was very happy with her.
Especially Madam Xiao.
The old lady has never been to the palace due to health reasons, and she has never seen little Xingxing. Today, Xiao Jiuyue sent the child back to the Xiao Mansion, allowing the old lady to see the child. She was extremely excited.
"Yuer is such a careless girl. The child said she would send the person back, but she, as his mother, ran away." Su Su complained to Old Madam Xiao while Xiao Xingxing went to drink milk.
"Mother, when you see Yue'er later, you must have a good talk with her. You're already the queen, why are you still acting like an unmarried girl?"
Su Su said worriedly, "I heard that the ministers are all thinking about stuffing people into the harem. Only she is so generous as to send the child here."
"You're still worried about Yue'er becoming the queen?"
Madam Xiao's words were filled with pride when she mentioned her granddaughter. She said, "If the ministers want to squeeze people into the harem, they must be able to squeeze them in. Didn't you see that the emperor left the court earlier and earlier every day?"
"Today, he took everyone to the imperial villa to plant crops and pick radishes." Old Lady Xiao thought about this and found it funny. In her entire life, she had never seen the emperor go to the fields himself and take officials to pick radishes!
"Yes, fortunately, the master had the foresight to wear a new pair of cotton shoes today." Su Su felt relieved when she thought of this.
