On the second day of the wedding, it is normal to meet the parents-in-law.
But there were no parents-in-law here, so she naturally slept until noon. When Su Wan opened her eyes, it was almost noon.
The first thing he did after getting up was to take another shower and then slap Xie Pei.
Is there such a person???
Is there???
How many times has she begged for mercy???
The slap was so light that Xie Pei grabbed her hand and kissed it: "Do you want to take a few more baths?"
Stop, you must stop!
Su Wan was picked up with a red face to take a bath. Fortunately, the palace people around her had received professional training and did not laugh.
After getting married, they no longer had to attend official duties or court, so they lived a leisurely life.
Every day he either hangs out in the bedroom or travels around the mountains and rivers. Even Su Wan thinks that he is being too obsessed with material things.
Besides, she was expecting a large shipment of potatoes!
Xie Pei just laughed at her lack of understanding of romance, and said while touching her hair: "I am not as important as those things?"
If it were any other ingredient, it would be fine, but potatoes?
Su Wan actually hesitated for a moment, and when she saw Xie Pei was about to raise his eyebrows, she immediately said, "You are important, you are still important. You are the most important person in the world."
This is not bad, Xie Pei chuckled, and seeing Su Wan touching the horse in front of her, he asked, "Did Hu Yanqiang give it to you?"
"Yes, it's good to put a good horse in it." Su Wan fed the horse a candy. The relationship between the man and the horse was already very good.
Xie Pei's smile faded a little, but he finally smiled and said, "It's okay."
Seeing the horse, she thought of what happened in the past. At that time, Xie Pei had just ascended the throne and there was a shortage of military horses. She did not want the horse sent to Su Wan, but instead gave it as a reward to those selected strong men.
Now, a few years later, they no longer have to save a horse or two.
Su Wan climbed onto the horse and said to Xie Pei, "This is the wedding gift Hu Yanqiang gave us. Isn't it nice?"
Wedding gift?
Xie Pei raised his head and looked at the man on the horse. They both saw something in their eyes. Only then did Xie Pei really smile: "It's a wedding gift, that's good."
The two could only enjoy their last vacation.
After all, Su Wan is about to start researching the potatoes she has been dreaming about. Su Chuang is right. This thing must be delivered early. Now it has begun to sprout in late March.
And sprouted potatoes are definitely poisonous.
In other words, you can eat it if you plant it now, but if you plant it again, it will basically produce a lot of toxins.
This was also said by the elderly eunuch who took care of the fruit trees in the royal gardens.
He has been taking care of the potatoes in the royal garden for more than 20 years. Although they are not good-looking or delicious, many of them are not for eating. They are basically an international breeding garden.
Su Wan also discovered several different varieties of peppers in it. If they were cultivated, they would definitely enrich everyone's taste.
In fact, many times, these plants have been introduced long ago, but whether they can be used or eaten depends on chance and whether they can be domesticated into edible food.
Previously, cotton was used for ornamental purposes and was finally made into cotton clothes, so this situation is not uncommon.
This old eunuch had some experience in tending to potatoes. When he heard the Queen say that potatoes were edible, he quickly said, "Your Majesty, this is really not edible. It is very poisonous, and the more you plant it, the less it will produce. You need to take good care of it."
"In the first year, I didn't have to worry about it, but later it became more and more troublesome. I couldn't use the land I had planted and had to plant other things."
When Su Wan heard him talking so eloquently, she knew that he was indeed taking good care of her.
However, she had already figured out how to do this. Potatoes are not easy to grow, but after growing them and finding the pattern, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
Seeing that the Queen insisted, the old eunuch had no choice but to agree, just like the people from the Land Bureau agreed to Su Wan.
If it were someone else, no matter how high-ranking the official was, they would actually have to refute it several more times.
But this is the female official Su Wan, the Empress Dowager, and even more so the Sheren Kongzhang. If Sheren Kongzhang doesn’t believe it, who else can she believe?
There are successful precedents before.
When Su Wan saw that everyone agreed, she knew that this would definitely succeed. Maybe it would take one or two years, or maybe even longer, but as long as she did it, there would be a chance of success.
Besides, these are potatoes!
Su Wan didn't eat the potatoes that Su Chuang brought over, mainly because they were too precious now and it would be better to use them for planting and research.
Xie Pei looked at them and said, "It's okay to use one or two."
Su Wan immediately shook her head: "No, what if there are only one or two missing?"
He swallowed as he spoke.
Seeing her like this, Xie Pei directly ordered to send more people to do research, and informed other caravans that as long as they brought back potatoes, the government would accept them all, and they had to collect the potatoes according to Su Wan's requirements. For example, the higher the planting altitude, the higher the price. It would also be okay if they brought back seedlings, but there were also requirements for the seedlings, etc.
With the emperor's order, not only the ships of Tianxiang Kingdom, but even the foreign people in Kyoto were tempted.
If they can bring what the Emperor and Empress of Tianxiang want, it will definitely be good for their country!
And what these two want must be very useful!
For a moment, everyone who remained in Kyoto to celebrate the Emperor and Empress' wedding knew the importance of this thing.
Yes, these people are still in Kyoto to celebrate.
The scene on the wedding day was so grand that no one had ever seen it before. They thought that weddings in heaven were just like this.
After the ceremony, a buffet banquet was held on Kyoto Imperial Street for half a month.
The royal family, civil and military officials all have their own banquets, and the buffet on the Imperial Street is used to entertain the people of the world. Guests from all over the world, as long as they behave themselves, can enjoy the banquet granted by His Majesty.
From the streets to the end of the alleys, the scale is staggering.
Just when someone was about to ask if this was too costly and laborious, they heard news from the Ministry of Revenue that this was all money paid by His Majesty himself and had nothing to do with the national treasury. If it really was too costly and laborious, the Empress would not agree to it.
The rumors died down before they even started.
At this time, the Kunning Palace in the imperial palace, the palace of the mistress of the harem had been empty for twenty or thirty years, and now it finally had an owner living in it.
Everything here had been arranged long ago, but the current empress had not come yet. Upon asking, it turned out that the empress and His Majesty were both in the front palace doing cleansing and would not be back for the time being.
The two of them lived together every day? The emperor and empress must have loved them too.
The people in Kunning Palace probably couldn't imagine that this palace did have an owner, but no one lived there for the time being.
The grand wedding finally ended in early April.
The envoys from all parties who came to the capital to offer congratulations are still reluctant to leave.
Who would want to leave such a prosperous capital?
Not to mention Kyoto, any city in Tianxiang Kingdom seems to be better than theirs.
This wedding further proves everyone's opinion.
More than a dozen tribes on the grassland left one after another, and several hostage princesses who were sent here from the grassland were also seen. Originally, they thought that they were living a hard life here, or at least suffered a lot of torture. Unexpectedly, they had already worn Tianxiang’s clothes, spoke Tianxiang’s language, and ate Tianxiang’s food.
If you don't look carefully, you can't even tell that they are foreigners.
Who can say anything bad?
Such a Tianxiang country is really something people yearn for.
I heard that they are still building the Northern Territory. The promotion of sugar beets has already made life in the Northern Territory much better. Now they are launching potatoes. A large number of farmers have already gone there. Who knows what they will produce next.
When the countries outside the Northern Territory knew about this, they naturally all tried to curry favor with him.
The land inside and outside the Northern Territory is actually similar. If there are any good things on the Tianxiang Kingdom side, they can also make a profit.
If I was instigated by the Caoyuan clan in the past few years, I have let it go in recent years. Isn't it better to live a good life with them?
Do you have to end up like the Ujiyoshi clan, a loser?
The northwest has already started discussing the trade route to the west. The Shiyi clan tried to get involved several times, but was interrupted by the Luandu clan. The Tianxiang kingdom also didn't pay much attention.
It is obvious to the naked eye that although the trade route is open this time, the Shiyi clan cannot gain any benefit at all.
Instead, it was the Luandu tribe, who stood firmly on the side of the Tianxiang Kingdom, and the Northern Army Alliance, who focused on farming, who were able to seize the initiative.
It can only be said that the Tianxiang Kingdom is really lucky, as it has both His Majesty Xie Pei and Queen Su Wan.
With the two of them around, who wouldn’t think that Tianxiang Kingdom’s prosperity for the next few decades is assured?
To outsiders, Tianxiang Kingdom is full of vitality.
In fact, my own people think so too.
But there is something strange here. The Queen is the Queen, but she is also a female official of the fifth rank. Every time they work with the Queen, they always feel something is wrong.
But His Majesty didn't say anything, the Queen pretended not to know, and several ministers pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Who dares to refute this?
Your Majesty is sitting up there. Whether it was the last wedding or their usual relationship, everyone knows that the Emperor and the Empress are in harmony. No one should try to interfere.
They even dared not mention the matter of His Majesty taking a concubine in the court.
The Queen is still standing in the court. How can you mention the concubine in front of her?
Of course, you can't do that in private. If you dare to mention it in private, His Majesty will demote you and kick you out.
Over time, people got used to this. Some rules are meant to be broken. If the rules remain unchanged for thousands of years, what's the point?
It is estimated that the current Queen is the only one in the world who is both a Queen and a female official.
At this moment, the emperor, who was ferocious but protective of his wife in the eyes of everyone, and the queen, who was smart and clever, were just like many ordinary loving couples in the world.
I'm thinking about what to eat for lunch today.
She was also wondering why the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion came to eat at noon every day, which reduced the chances for the two of them to be alone. This was what Xie Pei thought, and Su Wan had no objection.
She is now preparing a list of potato recipes. Although she herself is reluctant to eat it, in order to let everyone know how many ways there are to eat potatoes and how good they taste, she has to prepare a potato feast for all the ministers. If everyone knows that this thing is delicious and practical, then there will be more motivation to promote and research it!
You don’t have to think much about how to cook potatoes.
Spicy and sour potato shreds, twice-cooked potatoes, fried potatoes with tomato sauce, mashed potatoes, big plate chicken, even baked potatoes are delicious!
Su Wan tied on an apron and saw that Xie Pei's hands, which usually played with swords, were also very fast at peeling potatoes. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Not bad. In two years, you will be able to cook."
Xie Pei smiled: "Okay, Master Su Wan, please don't abandon me."
???
Su Wan looked puzzled, and Xie Pei deliberately cooked next to her: "Empress, what are you going to do next?"
???
"Mr. Kong Zhang, how many kinds of dishes can be made from these potatoes?"
???
"Madam, will you kiss me?"
Shut up, don't you see the expressions of the people around you???
Everyone is trying to hold back their laughter so hard that they are about to get internal injuries!
In the fifth year of Tianwan, smoke from cooking rises and the sky is clear.
Good days are yet to come for the Tianxiang Kingdom and their emperor and empress.
over.
The author has something to say:
It's finished. There are probably three or four more extra chapters. The promotion of Tudou is also in the extra chapters.
