Chapter 150 Promotion and double salary!

As soon as these words came out, all the officials nodded.

"I second the proposal."

The emperor couldn't help but chuckle. His second son was really good! He

was about to become the most popular person in the court.

However, this situation was also expected in advance.

Then he leaned back on the dragon chair.

"In this case, the second prince will invite Master Tanluan to the palace."

All the ministers naturally bowed their heads in agreement.

Seeing that everything that needed to be said had been said, Fuping flicked the dust whisk.

He shouted loudly at the top of his voice:

"If you have something to report, report it. If not, adjourn the court--"

After returning to the study, the emperor leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Fuping took advantage of Jiang Zhiyu's daily slacking off to prepare the four treasures of the study.

When the emperor felt very tired, he asked at the right time:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yu sent someone to deliver lotus seed and red date soup; Concubine Shu sent glutinous rice and poria cake. Eating them together warms the stomach and relieves fatigue. Would you like to try it?"

Upon hearing this, the emperor glanced at Fu Ping, who looked like an old fox.

He sneered meaningfully.

"Forget it, I'm not hungry."

In his heart, he sighed:

What a smooth old man...

Eating them together warms the stomach and relieves fatigue...

He doesn't offend anyone!

But...

Concubine Yu.

It seems that she is about to get restless.

"Tell Concubine Yu to rest and recuperate, and let the servants take care of these soups and cakes."

"Yes."

Who is Fu Ping? Just this one sentence.

When the order was given, it became:

"Next time, don't send Concubine Yu's food to His Majesty! Also... have someone take care of it. Anyone who enters or leaves the Jiaoxiang Palace must report back. No one is allowed to be left behind!"

"Yes."

While giving the order, Jiang Zhiyu also came to ring the bell.

"Good morning! Eunuch Fuping!"

Fuping smiled as soon as he saw her.

Having served the emperor for a long time, he could tell at a glance who the emperor liked more!

"Hey, little ancestor, what time is it here? It's not early! The emperor has been out of court for a long time and is waiting for you in the study!"

"Hey, no hurry! It's just the right time to come."

Jiang Zhiyu kicked and swung her skirt and entered the study.

Fuping smiled and closed the door for her considerately.

As soon as the emperor saw Jiang Zhiyu coming, he didn't complain about her lateness and casualness.

Thinking of the cakes and sweet soup that he had just refused, and the appearance of Jiang Zhiyu's dry rice, he asked warmly:

"Have you had breakfast?"

Jiang Zhiyu nodded.

"Yes, I have!"

"Do you want to eat the red date soup and poria cake?"

They were sent from far away, so don't waste them, right?

Feed the little food.

Jiang Zhiyu's eyebrows really lit up.

The things in the palace are the most delicious.

Nodding repeatedly.

The emperor smiled and nodded, looking more like a kind old father than Jiang Zhiyu's scumbag father.

"Fuping, present the food just now."

"Yes."

Although Fuping was puzzled, he obeyed one by one.

However, Jiang Zhiyu frowned when he saw the food.

[The pastries are good, but this soup... is such a waste of food!]

The emperor heard it.

His heart sank.

He deliberately tried to test it.

"Zhiyu, why don't you try this soup?"

Jiang Zhiyu hesitated and thought.

[I think it was given to him by someone else. Should I tell the truth? Also give him a reminder...]

[But, if I say it like this, won't he feel embarrassed?]

[But if I don't tell him, what if... I'm testing him or he eats it by mistake?]

After thinking it over, he convinced himself.

"Your Majesty, this soup... smells like something else. But I can't tell what was added to it."

[Hey! Just give him a reminder... As for the rest, you can ask someone else. I'm such a smart guy!]

The emperor laughed and got angry when he heard it.

Laugh at her for being too vigilant.

Angry at her petty mind.

But think about it, it is true.

People say that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger.

The silly girl at the beginning is now on guard.

I don’t know... if this is a good thing.

But fortunately, I can still hear her voice.

Peep into the secret.

Seeing that Jiang Zhiyu no longer thought about it and focused on eating cakes.

The emperor called Fuping.

He wanted to call someone to investigate, but then he thought...

if he asked someone from the Imperial Hospital at this time, it would inevitably alert the enemy.

And let the little guy be targeted by Lao Liu and Yu Fei’s people.

So he waved his hand and signaled Fuping to leave.

Jiang Zhiyu saw that he was hesitant to speak, and murmured in his heart.

【Eh? Why don't you call the imperial physician? It's not some powerful medicine, it just makes people feel itchy inside after drinking it, just to reminisce about the old times.】

The emperor frowned.

It seems that Concubine Yu hasn't given up yet.

She's trying every means to force a child into my body!

If it weren't for the fact that the sixth son looked so much like him, he would have doubted the sixth son's bloodline!

Concubine Yu's "old lover" hasn't been caught yet?

What a bunch of useless things.

The emperor waited for Jiang Zhiyu to eat and drink enough before discussing business with her.

"At the morning court today, all officials intend to recommend Master Tanluan to observe the stars and perform rituals to explore the secrets of the sky."

Jiang Zhiyu couldn't help but increase the strength of his hand that was grinding ink.

【This bunch of stubborn old people! Why are you still investigating... If you investigate again, the drought is inevitable. A drought killed hundreds of thousands of people in Jinzhou...】

But he changed his mind again.

【No, Master Tanluan is the second prince Xiao Chuji's man... What is he mixing with?】

【Is it... to deal with the monk?】

The emperor chuckled when he heard it.

I think...

his second son is worried that the Xu family will become more powerful.

After all, since Xu Yanli returned to the court, Prime Minister Jiang was dismissed.

The Xu family is the most powerful family in the court.

But Xu Yanli refused to cooperate with them. If

he can't recruit them, he can only suppress them!

But the emperor didn't show it on his face.

He waited quietly for Jiang Zhiyu to answer.

Jiang Zhiyu was also unambiguous.

"If the drought in Jinzhou is unavoidable, then it doesn't matter who comes to spy."

[Don't say that Tan Luan is a fake. Even if the real Tan Luan comes, I'm not afraid... Anyone with real talent and knowledge has to call me sister!]

The emperor was amused by her.

He thought so.

He had seen Jiang Zhiyu's predictions and abilities.

That's why he firmly believed in the drought in Jinzhou.

However...

"After the people's hearts are appeased, I intend to send Xu Aiqing to Jinzhou to be in charge of setting up a charity warehouse to prevent the disaster from expanding."

Jiang Zhiyu blinked and cheered after realizing it.

[Great! The dog emperor finally did something right! If the disaster relief this time is successful... wouldn't the third uncle be promoted in the near future? Double the salary——】

What a money-grubber.

The emperor was disturbed by her voice.

He looked at the memorial and laughed out loud.

Jiang Zhiyu was surprised.

[What are you looking at? So interesting... Show it to me?]

He stretched his neck to see that...

the memorial only wrote about some troubles in the states and counties.

[Being an emperor is really hard...]

Jiang Zhiyu sighed, and the emperor nodded repeatedly.
