"Madam Gao, you are a dog slave. How dare you commit treason and insult the princess, saying that she is a village woman. This is a naked insult to me. I sentence you to death with a stick to show my respect!" The emperor was the second to attack Madam Gao.
Soon the Royal Guards came running over and took Grandma Gao to be executed.
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Empress Consort Shu, please save me!" Nanny Gao was escorted away by the Imperial Guards. She begged for mercy from the Emperor while asking Empress Consort Shu for help.
But no one could save her, not even Concubine Shu, who hated her to bits.
"All the servants, eunuchs, maids and guards around Concubine Shu will be beaten with twenty lashes of the cane." The emperor punished all the servants around Concubine Shu.
Soon the Imperial Guards dragged Concubine Shu's servants away for execution, and the corridor was filled with cries for mercy.
"Lin'er, you are extremely naughty and have been neglected. As punishment, you must apologize to Chen Fang and be confined to Weiyang Palace for a month without being allowed to go out. If I see that you have not improved next time, I will send you to Concubine Zhao's palace to be raised by her." The ninth prince was a headache for the emperor. Although he did not like the women in the harem, he still loved his son.
"Your Majesty, I did nothing wrong. She is just a commoner girl, so what if she was shot by me!" said the Ninth Prince disdainfully.
Haha, another naughty kid who has been taught badly.
"You are so stubborn. If you don't apologize to Chen Fang, I will demote you to a commoner and let you experience what it feels like to be an ordinary person." The emperor said angrily.
"Your Majesty, this is not possible. The Ninth Prince is still young and ignorant. It is my fault. I will ask Lin'er to apologize immediately!" When Concubine Shu heard that the Emperor was going to demote his youngest son to a commoner, she quickly begged for mercy.
"Lin'er, apologize to Chen Fang quickly, do you hear me?" Concubine Shu came to the Ninth Prince and asked him to apologize to Chen Fang.
At first, the Ninth Prince refused to apologize, believing he was in the right. But after seeing Shangguan Feiyun's cold smile, he felt a chill run down his spine. He had witnessed Shangguan Feiyun murder a young master who had opposed him, and that scene haunted him in nightmares.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." The Ninth Prince finally gave in and apologized to Chen Fang.
"I forgive you!" Sanbao said generously.
"Okay, send Concubine Shu and the Ninth Prince back to Weiyang Palace. They are not allowed to leave Weiyang Palace without my permission." The emperor ordered the imperial guards to send Concubine Shu and the Ninth Prince back.
"Yes!" The Imperial Guards invited Concubine Shu and the Ninth Prince to return to Weiyang Palace.
"Yun'er, are you okay?" Shangguan Feiyun asked Li Yun.
"It's okay, I just can't believe that the famous Prince Jin can't play a role in the palace. I thought you were so prestigious that no one would be afraid of borrowing him for use. But now my mother and I, along with my two children, have to do it ourselves." Li Yun got angry just thinking about it. He finally wanted to use the power of others to bully others, but no one was afraid. It was a real mistake.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty—
Dabao's three siblings and Qin Lanlan——
"Yun'er, it's not that I'm not famous, but they don't believe that you are my person, so they are not afraid. How about Yun'er, let's get married! That way, no one will dare to bully you when you go out." This is outrageous. He was finally used by Yun'er once, but those dogs were not afraid. It made him lose face, and Yun'er didn't believe him anymore.
"No, I'd rather use Princess. This one is better than yours. Besides, I don't want to think about getting married for the time being. I want to focus on my career." Li Yun had no plans to tie herself to a tree for the time being. There were so many beautiful trees outside, and she hadn't seen enough.
"Princess Jiahui is doing something big. Could you take me with you and fill up my private treasury?" When the emperor heard about the big business, he was eager to take action. The profit from ice made his private treasury more than three times full, which made him very happy.
"Your Majesty, I have too many businesses. For example, I opened a milk tea shop, Jingpin store, Jinxiufang, and a fruit and vegetable store in Qingshan County. I want to open all of these in the capital. I also have to go back to harvest the high-yield crops I planted. I also have to open an academy. I have to do everything myself and have no time to think about other things. If Your Majesty wants to do business, I can think of a big project, but it will take some time. I will go and inspect it before I can report to Your Majesty." Li Yun told the emperor about her business.
"Princess Jiahui, what is this high-yield grain?" the emperor asked Li Yun anxiously.
"Your Majesty, my family grows some sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers, peanuts, tomatoes and rice." Li Yun talked about the crops she grew.
"Princess Jiahui, what are sweet potatoes and potatoes? They don't seem to exist in the Jin Dynasty." The emperor listened to those strange and unfamiliar names, which he had never heard of before.
"Your Majesty, these were sent from Britain. I accidentally saved a British businessman, and he gave them to me. I heard from that businessman that the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is 2,000 catties; the yield of potatoes per mu is 1,500 catties; the yield of peppers per mu is 500 catties; the yield of peanuts per mu is 500 catties; the yield of tomatoes per mu is 2,000 catties; and the yield of rice per mu is 1,000 catties." Li Yun pushed the sweet potatoes to Britain. Only Shangguan Feiyun knew the real situation. The soldiers on the border also ate these foods, but they just didn't tell anyone about it.
"Huff, huff, huff." Only a few gasps were heard.
"Yun'er, if such grain really exists and can be grown, and the people can have enough food and clothing, you will be a blessing to the people, and I will reward you handsomely." The Emperor was so excited to hear about such grain that he wanted to reward Li Yun, but after a long time of thought, he couldn't think of a good reward. It seemed that he already had no other choice for Li Yun. The princess certainly couldn't do that. Fei'er wanted to marry her as a princess, and she would be a princess. For the time being, Princess Jiahui wanted to pursue her career and not get married.
"Your Majesty, I am not sure whether it is high-yielding. Everything can only be confirmed after I harvest it." Li Yun still didn't want to make any boasts now. After all, the land in ancient times was barren and she couldn't guarantee it.
"How long will it take to harvest?" the emperor asked anxiously.
"In a month, the sweet potatoes and potatoes will be ripe. I will then return to Qingshan Village to dig them up," Li Yun said to the emperor.
"A month will soon be up. Can I go with Princess Jiahui to Qingshan Village to see the grain?" The emperor stated his purpose. He also wanted to see what kind of grain could produce 1,000 to 2,000 kilograms per mu. If it really existed, it would be a blessing for the Jin Dynasty and its people.
Every emperor wants the people in the country he rules to live and work in peace and have enough food and clothing, and he is no exception.
"Your Majesty, you are joking! How can the king of a country leave the palace?" Li Yun couldn't believe that the emperor could say such a thing. How irresponsible it was!
"Don't be afraid. With Fei'er here, nothing will happen." The emperor said calmly.
"Father, you don't..."
"Your Majesty, there are too many people here and it's too noisy. Let's go to my bedroom and talk." The Queen interrupted Shangguan Feiyun and asked everyone to stay in her Kunning Palace.
"The Queen is right. If you have anything to say, let's go to Kunning Palace." The Emperor also agreed with the Queen. Although he knew that no one would dare to eavesdrop, he still had to be on guard against eavesdropping.
The emperor and the empress took everyone to the empress's bedroom, Kunning Palace and Fengyi Hall.
