Concubine Chen felt a little embarrassed by what she said, as all these things were done under the suggestion of her daughter.
It was just a coincidence. Besides, this thing still needs further improvement before it can be put into use.
Until the sun set, His Majesty's side had not yet finished.
The concubine could only send someone to prepare dinner for the children first.
During this period, Qin Zhenzhen kept talking about balanced diet and the combination of meat and vegetables.
All of these were silently remembered by Concubine Chen.
Until Zhou Mian came over with a small bamboo basket.
"Your Majesty, please try this. This is a candied chestnut specially developed by His Majesty's chef."
When the concubine opened the basket, a sweet smell filled her nose.
The chestnut shell is a shiny brown-red color, and you can see the golden flesh inside at the opening. If you peel it gently, the shell will fall off naturally.
The concubine picked up one, tasted it lightly, her eyes lit up, and she took a few more bites.
Sweet and smooth taste, with a hint of sweetness exploding in your mouth.
She had never expected that such an ugly fruit outside could be so delicious.
"Zhou Mian, these chestnuts are really good. Leave a few for His Majesty and share the rest with the children!"
[Wow, they developed candied chestnuts so quickly. The imperial chefs are great! Very good! I hope they can develop more chestnut-based dishes.]
[Wow, when can I grow up? I want to eat too.]
There weren't many chestnuts, but almost every child got a small piece.
The empress in the palace not only taught them lessons, but also ate with them and even brought them this delicious food.
Each of their faces was filled with happiness. Sometimes children's happiness is just that simple.
My power of faith has increased again because these children are happy that they are from the Great Qin.
[Oh my god! These kids are so easy to please.]
[Mother, you must let them study hard and learn more knowledge so that they can realize how vast the world is.]
When Zhou Mian saw Concubine Chen smiling and the children, he couldn't help feeling happy.
It was worth it for him to run back and forth just to deliver these candied chestnuts.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty said that he probably won't be able to return tonight, so he asked me to take you and the princess back to the palace first." Seeing that the night was getting darker, Zhou Mian hurried forward to persuade her.
"Eunuch Zhou, we can go back on our own. Please take good care of His Majesty here. It's cold at night. Let the servants light more fires."
Zhou Mian's heart is entirely on Qin Yuanhao, so how could he refuse the opportunity to stay?
"Hey, I'll go and keep an eye on you in a moment. His Majesty also asked me to tell the Empress that he will arrange for Madam Yang and Miss Yang to come to the palace to see you tomorrow."
"In the blink of an eye, my younger sister is already one month old, and I don't know when the matter with the Yuan family will be resolved."
The concubine Chen was muttering to herself and spoke out unconsciously.
The Yuan family insisted that they had no money to return the dowry, and also brought up the laws of the Qin Dynasty, saying that historically, only the husband's family could divorce the wife, but there was no such thing as divorcing the husband.
They just thought that the younger sister of the Yang family was returning to her parents' home for a short stay.
Originally, they wanted to make public the fact that Yuan Chengli was destined to be childless.
But if this happens, the younger sister of the Yang family will also be called unclean.
Your Majesty has issued edicts many times, but the Yuan family just refuses to give up.
After all, no one was really killed, so Your Majesty cannot order a confiscation of property.
So, the matter has been deadlocked until now.
Don't worry, mother. Father is currently revising the laws of the Qin Dynasty. When the time comes, we'll punish that scoundrel family according to the new laws.
[When the little brother grows up, I think that family will regret it so much.]
Concubine Chen laughed at Qin Zhenzhen's words.
The children next to her just looked at her stupidly.
The Empress Chen is so beautiful, like a fairy descending to earth.
Concubine Chen was stared at by everyone and quickly said, "Children, hurry up and follow Sister Liusu to rest. We have other plans tomorrow!"
Seeing that the children were settled, Concubine Chen took Qin Zhenzhen back to the palace.
The next day, Qin Yuanhao went directly to the morning court.
He kept the other Hanlin Academy officials in the Qinhan Academy, and made special arrangements for their food and drink until these people came up with the laws of the Great Qin.
At the morning court session, other officials saw the Hanlin Academy officials disappear and could only guess in their minds.
Could it be that someone has offended their Majesty again and is being secretly punished by His Majesty?
"Minister of Works, Vice Minister of Works, please report to the Jinyu Academy today!"
"I have asked Master Wu of the Hanlin Academy to record the areas that need revision. I will give you ten days to see the brand new Qinhan Academy."
ah? ?
When was Qinhan Academy established? How come they know nothing about it?
Seeing their confused look, Qin Yuanhao waved his hand and signaled them to leave the court immediately.
When he finally returned to the Yangxin Palace to rest, the Empress Chen's place also became lively.
"Sister, I also want to do something for the children. The only skill I can bring out is embroidery. I plan to work with you to make winter clothes for the children."
"Little sister, it's a waste of your talent to make winter clothes." The Concubine Chen shook her head. Her sister's talent in embroidery was unparalleled and should not be wasted on such simple things.
"Auntie, you're too modest. With your mastery, you should be researching sericulture and increasing silk production, or perhaps researching down jackets!"
"Let me see what the skill book says. It says the most important things in silkworm breeding are the choice of mulberry trees, the spacing between them, the temperature, and the sunlight..."
Yang Dingyi kept all the little princess's suggestions in mind. The little princess asked her to complete these two tasks, and she would do her best to get them done.
She spoke carefully, "A few years ago, I got some silkworms. If I could increase the silk production, would that be a good idea?"
[I said that if there is a skill book, there should be a corresponding person. Didn’t Auntie think of it? ]
The Concubine Chen also nodded. Now that my younger sister has said this, it means that the way out is clear.
Secondly, my younger sister's silkworm-raising incident caused quite a stir back then, and the Yuan family came to propose marriage because of this incident.
This matter will not easily arouse Your Majesty's suspicion.
Mrs. Yang also nodded continuously. She was happy that her little daughter had something to do.
She thought for a moment and then began to speak: "Your father came back and told me that the winters on the barbarian grasslands are much colder than here, and they wear thicker clothes. As a result, when they fought, they were not as agile as our Great Qin soldiers, and that's why they were defeated."
"It's a pity that many of our Great Qin soldiers have also been frozen. It would be great if we could have some thin clothes that can keep us warm."
She also held a glimmer of hope, hoping that the young master could give her some advice or two.
Grandma is right. Winter clothing is thick and restricts movement. If down jackets were invented, movement would be more convenient and keep you warmer.
I don’t want my mother to wrap me up like a dumpling when I’m learning to walk.
