Qin Yuanhao then smiled with satisfaction, "Everyone, it is the Prime Minister who is aware of the situation. You should all learn a lot from him."
"Minister of Works, why don't you go to the academy and personally oversee the reconstruction?"
"Minister of Personnel, have you completed the personnel evaluation form I asked you to submit?"
"Left Censor, since you took office, have all the officials in the court recognized you?"
"It seems that you are very confident about the imperial examination next year. I look forward to your answers."
Several ministers bowed their heads and cried out for justice, "We are loyal to Your Majesty!"
Qin Yuanhao waved his hand and said, "Back off!"
After the ministers left, he looked at the three princes and found that the looks they gave him were particularly strange.
It seems to be a look of admiration?
He had never seen such a look before.
"Ahem, the three of you shouldn't be complacent just because of what I just said. The survival rate of these chicks needs to be improved. There are also duck eggs and goose eggs waiting for you to try."
"Third Brother, those seeds that came from the sea also need to be carefully cared for. No mistakes can be made."
"Yes, father." The three of them left contentedly.
The third prince, Qin Jinlin, was carried to Yonghua Palace by the eldest prince himself. Madam Yang and Yang Dingyi had already left.
【Where is my brother's wheelchair? 】
Concubine Chen also asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Third Prince, where is your wheelchair?"
"Empress Chen, I'll leave the third brother here. We still have to send the chicks back. I'll leave first." Although the eldest prince no longer had any ill will towards Qin Jinlin, he always felt a little awkward when facing Empress Chen.
"Your Highness, please wait. I've prepared some baskets for warmth. Please take them back to the palace." Concubine Chen waved her hand and said, "Little Enzi, take the baskets in the corner to the Highness."
So the eldest prince returned to Kunning Palace with a pile of baskets.
*
The queen looked at the pile of "waste baskets" on the ground and felt pain in her temples.
Ever since she compromised, the eldest prince has become even more excessive, and now the palace is full of so-called treasures he found.
"Bao Si, throw all this junk out." The Queen pointed at the eldest prince. "You're not doing your job properly, fiddling with these things every day. Now that the chickens have hatched, it's time for you to study hard for me."
"Mother, no." The eldest prince quickly stepped forward to protect the treasures. "These are the treasures given to me by the Concubine Chen."
The queen covered her chest with her hands, looked at her son in horror, and pointed at the basket on the ground.
"You told me these were treasures, I..."
"Mother, these baskets were made for me by Concubine Chen because she knew the temperature in winter was not good for preserving the chicks. With these baskets, we no longer have to worry about the temperature fluctuating, and we can hatch the chicks better."
"My second brother and I have already hatched about twenty chicks in this batch. I think countless chicks will hatch in the coming period."
"As long as there's enough land, hundreds of chicks are possible."
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. The eldest prince is still young." Bao Si hurriedly handed over the tea and helped the queen calm down. He looked at the eldest prince with disapproval.
"Your Highness, the Queen is devoted to you, please don't make her angry anymore."
Seeing this, the eldest prince stepped forward and flattered him, "Mother, I went to see my father today. He actually cares about me very much. He didn't even need to look at the information to know that I had hatched the chicks."
"Do you know how thick my records are? Father has read them all. He sees everything I do." The eldest prince gazed in admiration at the Yangxin Palace. "Father knows so much about the lives of the people. And do you know what he said?"
"He said I was doing something practical for the people. If I teach them this method, they won't have to rely on hens anymore and won't have to worry about not having enough meat. The emperor also said the court would intervene in meat prices and would never allow the powerful to disrupt the market."
"The last time I went out to look for my third brother, all the refugees looked pale and skinny, but when I asked them about raising chickens, their faces showed their love for life."
"Now I feel very motivated when I think that people will use my method to raise countless chickens and ducklings in the future."
The queen looked at her son and spoke excitedly of her vision for the future and her true desire to serve the people.
She was a little stunned. The eldest prince at this moment looked too much like the emperor.
Especially when the emperor just got married and was still young.
They were a young couple, but she no longer understood the emperor at all, although she knew that raising chickens was for the benefit of the people.
But there were so many officials, and the emperor didn't send them out, but instead let his son do such a thing. It was really shameful.
But now, she had to admit that the emperor was right.
"Mother, do you know? I've tried countless methods, but either the temperature is wrong or there are bad guys. But every time I lose my temper, my second brother stops me."
"But this time he didn't ask Father for credit. He's different now. He really wants to do something."
The queen now truly felt that her son had grown up.
"I understand. You should pay more attention to the Second Prince. This matter is indeed beneficial to the people and the country. If His Majesty is willing to give you this credit..." The Queen thought much more than the Eldest Prince.
If the people knew that it was the eldest prince who helped them develop the method of artificially hatching chicks.
His status in the eyes of the people is completely different.
I’m afraid the emperor doesn’t want to make it public.
"Mother, today the Emperor praised us in front of the Prime Minister and the six ministers, and he also said that he would announce it on the bulletin board soon."
"That's fine. Hurry up and deal with these baskets. I'm upset just looking at them. And don't bring those chickens into the palace." The queen waved her hand, held Bao Si's hand and walked into the palace.
She originally planned to go to the emperor after this matter was settled.
Now it seems that it’s a good thing that she doesn’t have to go. She doesn’t want to see that disgusting face anyway.

On the imperial concubine's side, the second prince was trying to persuade her earnestly.
"Mother, my elder brother and I have done a great job hatching the chicks this time. Father will definitely not make things too difficult for you. Please don't..."
"My son, the emperor actually asked you to raise chickens, and you're still speaking for him like this." Concubine Jin angrily slammed the table, then looked at her son with a distressed face, "It's all your fault. I shouldn't have..."
"Mother, be careful with your words. Grandfather is about to start teaching the people how to raise pigs. I'm hatching chicks for the benefit of the people, and I'm doing this willingly."
"During this period, I have gotten along very well with my eldest brother, and the Queen has never hurt me."
Although the queen never treated him well, she had never done anything to harm him.
This is completely different from what his mother told him.
"She's just playing tricks on you. She's just waiting for you to let your guard down so she can poison you."
Concubine Jin nervously grabbed her son's wrist and said, "My son, have you been poisoned? Let Jin'er feel your pulse."
