"elder sister."
"Alas, Yu Lan."
The two walked into the main hall hand in hand, talking and laughing.
"Xuanlang, come in quickly." Su Xingyi patted Baili Xuanlang's shoulder and strode in.
"Uncle Emperor." Baili Mingde saw Baili Xuanlang still in a daze at the door and walked out again. "You haven't seen Aunt Emperor for many days, why don't you come in and see her?"
"Oh." Baili Xuanlang quickly touched the corner of his lips. The wound had healed. He couldn't help but curl his lips. He could have lunch in the East Palace kitchen today.
"Mingde greets Empress Xiao." Baili Mingde bowed to Xiao Lingyu as a junior.
"Quick, no need to be so polite." Xiao Lingyu quickly reached out and helped him up. Looking at the boy who had completely lost his childishness, he smiled and said to Baili Mingde, "You've grown a lot taller than when you were in Huayang County, and you're becoming more and more handsome..."
Baili Mingde blushed unconsciously when Xiao Lingyu praised him. "My cousin has grown taller. I heard from my uncle that there's a magical lotus pond in the back garden that blooms all year round. I wonder if you can take me to see it."
"Of course you can." Xiao Lingyu tilted his head to look at Su Ning'an, "Brother An, accompany your cousin to see the lotus pond."
"Okay." Su Ning'an was about to make a plan, "Let's go, cousin."
Xiao Lingyu glanced at Yunshuang at the door of the palace calmly. Yunshuang nodded slightly and followed him.
"Cousin, will Empress Xiao agree to give pepper and tomato seeds to our Xirong people?"
Su Ning'an shook his head. "Little Five has been crying and complaining about being hungry this morning, and I haven't had a chance to talk about this yet. It would be better to talk about this before we leave Beijing and return to Xirong."
"Isn't it too late? It would be better to tell Empress Xiao earlier, so that when we leave Beijing and return to Xirong, we can take the seeds back with us."
"Cousin, I'll get the seeds. We don't need to bring too many seeds back to Xirong, and we can't just let the people plant them directly. We'll open up a few acres of land in the palace or around the capital to try growing peppers and tomatoes. If it's successful, it means the soil in our capital is suitable for growing peppers and tomatoes. Then we can plant peppers and tomatoes city by city."
Baili Mingde frowned. He had oversimplified his thinking. "Even so, we should have told Empress Xiao earlier that we can try planting some crops in Prince Fu's mansion during this period."
"Even if you plant it, it won't grow immediately..." After all, their lives were good and the gods no longer favored them.
Baili Mingde remembered what Baili Xuanlang had said to him, that one should not be too impatient about anything. "Then listen to my cousin. There's no need to tell Empress Xiao about the color printing."
Su Ning'an breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that his cousin would still want to make perfume and birthday cake.
It seems that he has to keep his mouth shut about anything his mother comes up with from now on.
Only his mother took the initiative to share it, instead of him asking her for it for his grandparents' home.
Afterwards, the two brothers played around in the back garden, chasing each other and laughing for a few rounds before returning to the kitchen for lunch.
The atmosphere of this lunch was quite pleasant, especially for the newlyweds Baili Xuanlang and Xu Yulan.
The two of them could see each other just by looking up. The seats were decided by Xiao Lingyu and Baili Qingluan together.
As the next procedure still needed to be followed, Baili Qingluan did not stay in the palace for long and ruthlessly took away the reluctant Baili Xuanlang.
After Su Xingyi coaxed Xiaowu to take a nap, Xiao Lingyu called Yunshuang to the study.
"What did the two brothers talk about in the back garden?"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mingde asked if His Royal Highness Prince Fu had mentioned the rare ingredients to Your Majesty. His intention was to give the seeds of the rare ingredients to the Western Rong so that their people could grow them."
It turned out to be this.
Baili Mingde didn't say anything, but she would give it to them when they returned to Xirong.
"Is that all?"
Yunshuang thought for a moment, "His Royal Highness, Grand Prince Mingde, said that there's no need for Prince Fu to tell you about color printing."
Tsk, Baili Mingde is worthy of being the crown prince of the Western Rong Emperor.
Know the value of rare ingredients and color printing.
If this had nothing to do with Xirong, and Xirong wanted color printing, she might not necessarily agree to it in exchange for a city or a large sum of silver.
If Beiyi masters this unique skill, he can earn money from the other three countries to increase his power.
Now that the children have good relations with the other three countries, the four countries can no longer hide their desire for peaceful coexistence.
Xiao Lingyu thought of Baili Mingde, and his eyes darkened. He could have told her openly instead of using An Ge'er to tell her about this.
Isn't this embarrassing for Anger?
No wonder Anger said to her: "I love mother, I will be good to mother, and I will be filial to mother."
Anger was worried that if he told her, she would dislike him no longer.
It seems that when Baili Mingde grows up and becomes the emperor of Xirong, Xirong and Beiyi may not be able to coexist peacefully, and it will be even more difficult for Ang'er to be caught in the middle.
Su Xingyi woke up from his nap and learned about this. He was not too surprised. He just said, "I've been looking through the history of the four kingdoms these days. Five hundred years ago, there was the Great Yong Dynasty. Later, the Great Yong Dynasty became corrupt, and the four major families rebelled, which led to the establishment of the four kingdoms of Beiyi, Dongjun, Nankun, and Xirong."
"We can't expect the four nations to coexist peacefully forever. Who knows, a great and powerful person might emerge one day and unify the four nations. Now that I'm in power, I'll do my best to maintain peace among the four nations. And Xiaowu is very smart. When he takes power in the future, he might have even more ways to ensure peaceful coexistence among the four nations. We won't be able to take care of our grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren by then. They'll have died long ago."
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. We should live in the present and do our utmost to ensure peace among the four nations. Let's first ensure that the people of Beiyi have clothes to wear, food to eat, and a place to rely on in old age. We will then open a medicinal herb planting base, Baiyaotang, throughout Beiyi, so that the people will not be afraid of getting sick and taking medicine. Once we set a good example, the other three nations will follow suit, and in this way, the people of all four nations will be prosperous."
