Ling Shumo picked up a grain of rice and examined it carefully against the skylight. It was of truly superior quality, even fuller than the finest refined rice in the palace.
You have to know that the rice consumed by the palace masters is carefully selected from all over the country and is the best of the best. The seeds used for growing seedlings are no different.
Ling Shumo took another unshelled grain of rice and said, "Shi Qi, go call the head of the Ministry of Agriculture over here." Shi Qi had just taken half a step when Ling Shumo stopped him again. "By the way, this year's top scholar, Song Shiying, should also be called over. I saw the essay she wrote for the imperial examination on the Queen Mother's desk. She has profound knowledge in agriculture. Let her participate in this trial planting of the improved rice. If it really works, it will be considered her political achievement."
Ling Shumo's words surprised Shi Qi.
On the day of the Qianqiu Palace Banquet, after Xue Wu's scandal was exposed, Ling Shumo asked her to call Song Shiying over to confront Xue Wu.
As a result, before Song Shiying could get to Ling Shumo, he was stopped by Chu Changying, who was dressed as a woman at the time.
The two people talked a lot of nonsense, not only about their previous acquaintance, but also about their emotional entanglement.
She didn't say anything at the time, but later relayed their words to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess verbatim.
Song Shiying had an affair with both men in His Highness's backyard. It was a great favor that His Highness was willing to let her go, but now it seems that His Highness not only has no intention of punishing Song Shiying, but also wants to promote her.
This is really weird.
"I will give these rice seeds to the people from the Ministry of Agriculture first. If the trial planting is successful, your contribution will be indispensable, and I will definitely reward you handsomely." After Ling Shumo said this to Chu Changying, she turned around and went back to Guangming Hall without waiting for him to say anything else.
Chu Changying exchanged this packet of rice seeds from the system mall, but he had to make up a suitable origin for this packet of seeds. He had already prepared a plan before he came, and even anticipated several questions that Ling Shumo might ask. In the end, the other party left without saying a word.
Ling Shumo had no questions about the bag of rice seeds that appeared out of thin air.
Chu Changying was feeling very nervous.
The biggest problem is that there is no problem.
inside the house.
Ling Shumo sat at the desk.
She casually placed the bag of extremely precious seeds on the table.
It’s not like she doesn’t have problems.
She simply had too many questions.
She once asked Shi Qi to investigate the details of Song Shiying and Chu Changying, but Shi Qi found nothing.
Shi Qi said that she was sure that the two people had never met before the Qianqiu Festival.
Chu Changying couldn't recognize Song Shiying, but he could recognize his handwriting.
Ling Shumo suggested that they might have exchanged letters anonymously.
But it was also denied by Shi Qi.
There was something strange about Chu Changying. The day she had sex with him, she felt like she was poisoned.
But Ling Shumo didn't plan to torture Chu Changying now. First, he was able to solve the plague that even the Imperial Hospital was helpless to deal with, and now he produced a bag of seeds out of thin air.
There are so many things that can be used in Chu Changying.
While he was thinking, Song Shiying had already been brought to the door and was waiting.
She had been living in fear these days, fearing that Her Royal Highness would retaliate against her. When she heard Shi Qi's name today, she almost had a heart attack, but when the other party mentioned the Ministry of Agriculture, she finally felt relieved.
She majored in agronomy in college, and the cultivation and breeding of crops are her strong points.
It is the capital for her to make a living in this era.
She was thankful countless times that she had studied crop planting. If she had studied information and computing, she would have had no advantage after traveling through time.
The attendant coughed lightly and said, "Master Song, please don't just stand there. Her Highness the Princess invites you in."
Song Shiying calmed down, lowered his head and followed the attendant into the inner room.
Song Shiying kept her head down the whole time, and from her angle, she could only see Ling Shumo's skirt and shoes.
Song Shiying knelt on both knees and bowed deeply to Ling Shumo, "I pay my respects to Your Highness the Crown Princess. May Your Highness live a thousand years."
Ling Shumo didn't leave her alone, "Stand up."
Song Shiying stood up slowly, still not daring to look up.
Ling Shumo spoke slowly and steadily, "This bag of rice seeds was given to me by Chu Changying. This is the first time I've seen such fine seeds. Sir Song, don't be so reserved. Come and take a look at this rare thing."
Shi Qi handed a few seeds to Song Shiying, and her pupils shrank suddenly in disbelief. Even the finest rice here seemed small and shriveled to her, and the grains in her hands were indistinguishable from the Wuchang rice she'd bought at the supermarket before she'd traveled through time. This simply wasn't a product of this era.
Ling Shumo said that these seeds were given to her by Chu Changying.
The biggest possibility is...
Chu Changying is cheating.
Thinking of this, Song Shiying's shocked eyes turned into anger. As a time traveler, Chu Changying had a golden finger, but she had to rely on her own strength and work hard step by step. This was simply too unfair.
Whether it was shock or anger in Song Shiying's eyes, it was only a flash. She had not forgotten that Crown Princess Ling Shumo was sitting opposite her.
Song Shiying didn't wait for Ling Shumo to tell him her purpose before he said respectfully, "Your Highness has entrusted such an important task to me. I will do my best to live up to your trust."
Ling Shumo smiled gently, "It's always a pleasure to deal with smart people. Lord Song has already understood what I meant before I even said anything. If Lord Song can handle this matter well, his future is limitless."
Song Shiying slumped his back a few inches further and said, "Your Highness, I am so humbled by your compliments. I do not deserve them."
Ling Shumo placed one hand on the table and said nothing. Shi Qi understood Ling Shumo's intention and asked the servant to take Song Shiying out again.
When Song Shiying's figure was completely hidden by the screen, the faint smile on Ling Shumo's face faded. "Shiqi, go tell Chu Changying now that I have something to talk to him about. Then, lead him to the road that Song Shiying must take to leave the mansion. Make sure they meet each other. It's best to find a secluded corner so that they can talk about things that are not convenient for outsiders to hear."
