Chapter 24: I don’t want to get promoted or make money.
This side of the palace.
The emperor looked at the message brought by the secret guard and was so angry that he broke several cups of tea.
Palace attendant: "Your Majesty, please calm down."
His good uncles and nephews are really great.
Emperor Chongde said several good words in a row.
"Okay, okay, I didn't kill them all back then. I was indeed merciful."
Seeing that His Majesty was so angry, Eunuch Gao quickly sent someone to invite the Queen.
The Queen looked at the mess on the floor and the palace maids kneeling on the ground. It seemed that His Majesty was very angry this time.
The queen waved her hand and asked someone to clean up the things on the ground, and then gave Eunuch Gao a look.
Eunuch Gao immediately understood and took them all away.
Only the Empress and Emperor Chongde were left.
The queen picked up the paper on the table and took a look at it. Her eyes turned cold for a moment, but then quickly became gentle again.
He patted Emperor Chongde's hand and consoled him, "It's good that you knew this in advance. You can deal with it slowly. At least you're still alive. You can take your time to deal with them."
The emperor hugged the queen and said aggrievedly: "I should have killed them all at the beginning."
The queen patted him on the back and said nothing.
Others only know that His Majesty came to power through cruel means, but who knows the pain in his heart?
Why would he do this if he could justify it?
The queen comforted the emperor for a while and then Fang Yelin came to the palace.
Fang Yelin looked at Eunuch Gao outside and almost guessed that the emperor already knew about his daughter eating Zhang Gang's melon today.
Fang Yelin felt so miserable, my daughter.
Fang Yelin glanced at the closed door and asked, "Your Majesty, if it is not convenient for me to come again tomorrow."
Emperor Chongde inside heard Fang Yelin's voice.
The Queen patted His Majesty and said, "Minister Fang is here. Your Majesty should go and see him immediately."
Although Emperor Chongde felt that Fang Yelin came at the wrong time, he also knew why Fang Yelin came.
He could only kiss his own wife and then let the queen go.
The queen's face was a little red when she came out. The ministers were outside, and she and His Majesty were doing that inside. It must be a bit stimulating.
Fang Yelin quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty. Your humble servant..."
The Queen knew they had something important to discuss, so she waved Fang Yelin to get up and said, "I know you have something important to discuss with His Majesty. Go in, don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long."
Minister Fang bowed again and went in.
Eunuch Gao also followed him in to serve.
Fang Yelin came before Emperor Chongde and saluted.
"Your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
Emperor Chongde quickly asked people to get up.
Then Fang Yelin took out a stack of papers from his arms and presented it to Emperor Chongde.
Eunuch Gao hurried to get it and show it to Emperor Chongde.
I saw a lot of drawings on the paper, with notes next to them, indicating what it looked like in different periods.
Corn seeds are yellow and look like weeds after germination. When they grow up, they have large and long leaves, and the fruits are grown on the stems, with the tops of the fruits looking like beards.
The painting was also three-dimensional, and Emperor Chongde was instantly attracted by Fang Lingchu's painting skills.
"Lord Fang, your painting is truly vivid. With such clear drawings and explanations, if you can't find it, it's your incompetence."
Hearing the emperor say this, Fang Yelin quickly knelt down and said, "The fact that we can't find it is due to our poor performance. Please calm down, Your Majesty."
Emperor Chongde laughed heartily and said, "My dear Lord Fang, please get up! Your daughter has found such a wonderful thing for us. How could I blame you? However, it would be a waste of her talent to put her in the position of historian."
Minister Fang could only accept it with a smile.
Emperor Chongde smiled and said, "Let her report to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow."
Minister Fang really wanted to say: Your Majesty, my daughter just wants to be naughty and doesn’t want to work. If you do this, she will tease you again. Please don’t be angry.
On the surface, he still answered obediently: "Yes."
Emperor Chongde will regret his decision today.
While the two were discussing, the Minister of Works, the Minister of War, and the three dukes and three ministers also arrived.
Everyone discussed this high-yield grain for an entire night.
The next day, at Fang Mansion.
Fang Lingchu woke up in a daze and found himself at the palace.
She was just about to come down to attend court, but was told that she could take a day off and come back tomorrow.
Fang Lingchu felt like the sky was falling.
Every minister who came to the court saw that Fang Lingchu looked like he was about to break.
The Dali Temple Minister looked at the little girl and comforted her: "Master Xiao Fang, you can go back now and have another sleep."
After all, he was close and heard Fang Lingchu keep saying things like disturbing her sleep was against the will of heaven.
Fang Lingchu immediately got on the carriage and asked the coachman to go back to sleep as quickly as possible.
Fang Lingchu hasn't left her yard these days, and all she eats are strawberries that the others bring to her on her bed.
Fang Lingchu was so happy that she didn't know the emperor had another surprise for her.
In the evening, Minister Fang returned and said to his wife who had come to greet him, "Go take a shower and change clothes first, and get ready to receive the imperial edict."
Then he asked the servants to call the children over.
Fang Lingchu looked at the imperial edict in his father's hand and had a bad feeling in his heart.
When Minister Fang saw that everyone had arrived, he opened the imperial edict and read it directly.
"The Emperor, by the grace of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, decrees that Fang Lingchu, the daughter of the Fang family, possesses both talent and virtue, and is a woman of refined character and heart, deeply endearing to me. I hereby appoint her as the Sixth Rank Du Shui Qinglangzhong of the Ministry of Works."
Fang Lingchu was so shocked by the lightning that he was completely stunned.
Minister Fang waited for a long time but did not see his daughter get up to receive the order.
He knew this was the case, so he pulled her up and put the imperial edict in her arms.
Then everyone was allowed to disperse and go to eat.
Zhang Gang watched as the Fang family members left, leaving Fang Lingchu still in a daze.
I don’t know what to do.
Fang Lingming came over and pulled her away, saying, "Just wait until she reacts."
They hadn't walked far when they heard Fang Lingchu's screams like a pig being slaughtered.
At the same time, various voices insulting the emperor came from my mind.
Minister Fang looked as if he knew it would be like this.
Fang Lingchu asked the system: [What's wrong with His Majesty? Why did he suddenly raise my rank? Isn't he repaying kindness with enmity?]
The system chuckled and said, "You're wrongly accusing me of this. The seed drawing you gave your father yesterday was directly given to Emperor Chongde by your father. He felt that compiling a book was a waste of your talent, so he asked you to publish the drawing."
Fang Lingchu became even angrier.
She just wanted to eat corn, and at the same time felt sorry for the people who had to live in the open air at that time, so she drew the corn seeds. She didn't expect that she would have to go to work in the end.
Ahhhhhh….
Fang Lingchu went crazy in the yard, and the servants passing by didn't dare to provoke her.
Emperor Chongde heard that Fang Lingchu knew about him and went crazy even after being promoted.
He laughed out loud. As an emperor, he was very busy every day. He just couldn't stand seeing Fang Lingchu being so leisurely every day.
The system here is still comforting Fang Lingchu.
[Host, you're getting promoted and making a fortune. If it were your father, he'd be overjoyed.]
Fang Lingchu glared at the people inside and said, "I don't want to get promoted or get rich. Whoever wants to do it can do it." Then she went back to her yard angrily. Others get promoted and get rich and their husbands die, but I want to get promoted and get rich and sacrifice myself!
