Yue Fuguang caught a glimpse of these people's subtle movements out of the corner of her eye. She pressed her lips together, trying not to let anyone see the slight upturn at the corners of her mouth.
Seeing that the mission was about to succeed, she was in an exceptionally good mood and took a sip of the fruit wine in front of her.
Smack your lips, it's sweet with a hint of floral and fruity aroma, the taste is alright.
Thinking about it, she couldn't resist taking two more sips, as a way of celebrating the imminent completion of her first big order!
This time, we can kill two birds with one stone and also expose Xu Changyue, this cancerous tumor.
Then many people and things related to him will change in the future, and many people who would have died because of him may be able to escape this calamity.
Therefore, she believed that when the system finally settled the task points, the total would definitely be more than 300 points.
As Yue Fuguang thought about it, she felt her head getting dizzier and dizzier. How could the prince in front of her have two heads and four mouths?
Before falling into a deep sleep, a series of questions slowly emerged in Yue Fuguang's mind: Why would someone serve wine to an eight-year-old girl?
Fruit wine is still wine, okay?
...
"Gentlemen, what do you all think of what that person said?"
Out of caution, and also out of fear of the power of the divine artifact, Emperor Mingxi and his ministers tacitly refrained from uttering the name Yue Fuguang, and for the time being, they only used "that person" as a substitute.
Just as Yue Fuguang was drunk and asleep, among those attending the banquet were the families of the officials and members of the royal family.
Among the ministers, there were thirty-four others who could hear Yue Fuguang's thoughts. Emperor Mingxi kept all of them behind to discuss the important information he had heard that day.
Emperor Mingxi held a private meeting with these officials. One reason was that they had received too much information that day, and if they didn't get together to discuss it, none of them would be able to sleep well.
On the other hand, we need to discuss how to treat that person.
It is no exaggeration to say that this was an auspicious omen bestowed upon Dayan by Heaven, and they could not afford to treat it with utmost care.
Upon hearing His Majesty's question, the group exchanged glances.
Grand Tutor Wang, one of the Three Dukes, stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty is wise. In my opinion, the events of today are more than 90% credible."
As he spoke, he glanced at a small white jade bowl on the emperor's desk, which contained several bright red and juicy fruits that they had never seen before.
If Yue Fuguang were here, she would see that the white jade bowl contained a large cherry, two fresh lychees, and a bright red, plump cream strawberry that she had deliberately dropped on the ground.
When Emperor Mingxi was about to change her seat, she had the system store all the fruit on the table into its system space.
To prove that her words were true, she specifically asked the system to drop the fruit under the table.
She pretended that she had accidentally dropped them, hoping to find these fruits that had never appeared in the Great Yan Dynasty, and then confirm the matter with the events at the Changqing Marquis's residence.
The rulers and ministers of the Great Yan should believe her words and her identity.
Emperor Mingxi noticed the looks on everyone's faces, so he pointed to the fruit on the table and said to Eunuch Qian, "Old Qian, show these things to the officials."
First it was Grand Tutor Wang, then Grand Preceptor Liu, then Grand Protector Xie. Everyone present passed it around and read it, still marveling at it.
Although it's not a magical fruit, just by looking at its juicy appearance and the faint fruity aroma it emits, you can tell that it must taste very sweet and delicious.
General Wei Shouyi, a military officer, said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, this little thing looks so fresh and smells so good. I just don't know if it can be planted in our Dayan."
His words reminded everyone that these fruits were bright red and clearly ripe, and the seeds inside might actually be extracted and planted.
The old Master Wang, the Minister of Hongnong Temple, was the first to step forward. He bowed and said righteously, "Your Majesty, please hand over these fruits to my Hongnong Temple."
Your humble servant will certainly lead the people of Hongnong Temple to carefully study and cultivate these fruits, striving to grow them for Your Majesty and for our Great Yan Kingdom.”
Emperor Mingxi did not answer him immediately, but instead looked at Yu Chongshan, who had been silent since entering, as if he were invisible.
He said, "Minister Yu, do you recognize the five kinds of fruit fragrances in this dish?"
Upon hearing His Majesty call his name, Yu Chongshan quickly stepped forward, bowed, and replied, "Your Majesty, only one of these three fruits has a fragrance that matches one of the five fruits I previously smelled."
Emperor Mingxi then asked Zheng Ziling, "Where is Minister Zheng?"
Standing next to Yu Chongshan, Zheng Ziling replied, "Your Majesty, I only smelled the red fruit with black spots."
Emperor Mingxi nodded, signaling Eunuch Qian to hand the items to Wang, the head of Hongnong Temple, and instructed him, "Minister Wang, cultivate them well. I look forward to tasting the new fruits cultivated by your Hongnong Temple."
Then he said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, you should visit Hongnong Temple more often when you have time."
The Crown Prince bowed in agreement.
Wang Sizheng suddenly felt a weight on his shoulders; the responsibility His Majesty had given him was quite heavy! He even assigned the Crown Prince to oversee their work.
However, he still carefully accepted it and solemnly said, "Yes, Your Majesty, we will do our utmost."
Then he changed the subject, tentatively asking, "Your Majesty, about the matter of superior breeds..."
If they can obtain superior seeds, Hongnong Temple will undoubtedly be the biggest winner, and the previously neglected department will immediately become highly sought after.
With the support of the imperial court, his previously proposed plan to increase the training of agricultural talents could then be implemented.
The mention of superior breeds ignited a renewed passion among the people, especially the courtiers, but Emperor Mingxi was even more enthusiastic.
From the moment he ascended the throne, he resolved to be a wise and benevolent ruler for all time, to prove it to his father, who was lying in the imperial mausoleum.
His initial intention to depose him, the legitimate son of the Empress, and instead install the useless Prince Qi, the son of the favored Consort Rong, as the Crown Prince was utterly wrong.
Xie Fei was determined to achieve something great to show the late emperor and the world that he was an emperor even more brilliant than his own father.
Therefore, Emperor Mingxi, who still harbored resentment over what happened back then, desired those high-yield crops even more than his ministers.
No one knew better than him how beneficial it would be to his rule to have enough food to feed the people under his jurisdiction.
He dared to say that just by ensuring that all the people of the empire had enough to eat, he could be called a wise ruler for all time.
If all these superior varieties, which he wouldn't even dare to dream of, appeared in Dayan, then as long as Emperor Mingxi didn't become too incompetent in his later years, even if Dayan really perished ten years later, it wouldn't affect his reputation as a sage ruler for all ages.
Moreover, with these superior seeds, how could the Great Yan Kingdom possibly perish?
Therefore, Emperor Mingxi's heart was also burning with fervor, and he looked at his minister, Yu Chongshan, with hopeful eyes.
Yu Chongshan: Your Majesty, please don't look at me like that. I can't conjure up a good seed either!
Yu Chongshan knew in his heart that given their previous neglect of Yue Fuguang, they were already grateful that Yue Fuguang didn't resent them. Wanting more was just wishful thinking!
Hasn't His Majesty already figured out their relationship? Yu Chongshan doesn't believe it!
Yu Chongshan was inwardly crying, but he didn't show it on his face. As long as His Majesty didn't call him by name, he would pretend he didn't see it.
