Chapter 493 The Emperor Has a Name in His Heart

Yuan Shenjue finally said, "I have written down the places Zhou Hongting mentioned."

Emperor Mingpei pondered and said, "How many of those jade tokens that can increase the effectiveness of the incense attack can you carve?"

"I only carved two," Yuan Shenjue said, "but it's easy to carve jade plaques with Xinbao by my side. I'll try again tonight."

Emperor Mingpei said: "Give those to them first, you don't have to work too hard."

Yuan Shenjue bowed his hands to express that he was not worthy of the honor.

After finishing the report, Yuan Shenjue withdrew first. Emperor Mingpei slowly drank a sip of tea and pondered for a moment.

Mrs. Lin came back and said with a smile, "Xinbao was changing the bandage just now. She touched the back of her hand and said pitifully, 'It would be better if I could get a few more bubbles.' The daughter-in-law asked her why she wanted to get a few more bubbles. Xinbao said, 'If I could get one more bubble, I could ask Yeye to let Xinbao go out again.'"

Emperor Mingpei was simply at a loss for words. Each bubble had its own request? But the situation was like this: Xinbao needed plants and trees, and he liked plants and trees, but no one else could do this job for him.

Emperor Mingpei said, "Take a rest tomorrow and go the day after tomorrow."

Mrs. Lin smiled and bowed to express her gratitude.

Emperor Mingpei got up and left.

The next morning, Xinbao was very happy when he heard that he could still go.

I went to the Qianqing Palace happily in the morning, and then I heard that Emperor Mingpei had issued an edict that no one was allowed to enter or leave the garden that Xinbao wanted to visit until Xinbao had finished visiting all the gardens.

In other words, wherever Xinbao goes, people will be sent to clear the area in advance. No matter how many days Xinbao stays there, the Longxiong Guards will be guarding from the moment she arrives until she finishes. Even their own people will not be allowed to enter the garden.

Xinbao still felt a little embarrassed.

If this was really just a hobby and not something that involved a lot of things, she might not have gone.

But it was the same for everyone. If there hadn't been an assassination, if such an order had been issued, even if everyone didn't remonstrate, they would have discussed it in private. But after the assassination happened... a group of old foxes and young foxes had already smelled something different.

Because the little princess was good at medicine, she was named Princess Zhenguo. The cunning prime minister publicly proved that she was worthy of the title... The emperor loved the princess so much, but after the assassination happened, he still allowed her to leave the palace and "get close to plants and trees". What happened in between was very strange.

People don't have such wild imaginations and think so far. Most people think that maybe the little princess is looking for one or several important herbs.

What is this herb used for? On whom is it used?

Everyone has their own guesses, but the more they guess, the less they dare to say.

And for those who have gardens, this is definitely a good thing!

To be frank, if something really happened, it would be the fault of the Longxiong Guards for failing to provide adequate protection, and it would have nothing to do with them. Otherwise, it would be like Wang Ronggui, whose entire family was locked up in the manor, and the servants would search them thoroughly, and they would be suffocated to death. Not everyone has the face to be remembered as a good person by the little princess.

As for the fact that there are fewer opportunities to please people, I heard that the little princess didn't communicate with people when she was looking at the grass! Besides, a four-year-old child doesn't have much to say.

When the Crown Princess or the Emperor's grandchildren sent people over, how many things could they not say? Even if there was no chance, finding something from their garden would still make a name for themselves in the Emperor's heart!

Of course, there are people who are really afraid.

After all, some people's gardens are built in the mansion, where the whole family walks around every day. If Longxiong Wei goes there and stays for several days, it would be inconvenient on the one hand, but the main thing is... who knows what will happen at home?

Even if some family matters were heard by the emperor, it would be a waste of time! People with a guilty conscience would shrink back.

As a result, many people began to recommend their own farm workers outside. Since Yan Qingshan was in the Ministry of Revenue, more people came to him.

At this moment, there were early blooming chrysanthemums in the garden. In the evening, Mrs. Lin suddenly had an idea and asked the kitchen to try making chrysanthemum hotpot. Although it had never been made before, it tasted very tasty at first glance and everyone enjoyed it very much.

Xinbao also asked: "Can I give some of this to Uncle Shen?"

"Of course!" Madam Lin turned around and asked, "I heard that he has found a house? Has he moved in?"

"We've moved," Yan Qingshan said, "Fu Ju helped me find it. It's not too big, just a two-story courtyard. We just moved in yesterday. Everything is ready. We can move in right away after buying some furniture."

Madam Lin said to Tuanzi, "Then I'll have someone send it over tomorrow night, and it will be considered as a warm house for him."

"Mother," Yan Shichang said, "Master often lives in the camp now, so Zhong Limin is usually at home."

The second brother smiled and said, "Mother, you can just send it to the camp in the name of Xinbao. My eldest brother said that the soldiers are most looking forward to receiving gifts from someone's family, just like a festival."

Madam Lin agreed: "Okay."

So the next day at noon, when Shen Shouyan was about to go to eat with others, a group of people came outside with a carriage and greeted, "Sir Shen."

Shen Shouyan returned the greeting and asked, "Who are you?"

Bai Ji said with a smile on his face, "Sir Shen, I am here on the orders of the Princess Zhenguo to bring you a chrysanthemum hot pot. The young prince said, 'Uncle Shen, this hot pot is delicious, better than what we had in Longmen County. I am sending it to you to try.'"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Shen Shouyan was surprised and delighted, and said he didn't dare.

Being missed by Tuanzi is one thing, but the key is to have face!

The little princess knew to send the dishes she wanted to eat. Who could compare to her? Baiji and several eunuchs carried the food down, and said with a smile: "The soup is ready, but it's too far and it's cold. Master Shen can make a fire and eat it. I'll take my leave first."

A lot of soup base and side dishes were delivered, enough for more than ten people. Although it was definitely not enough for everyone, it was a blessing for everyone to have a bite! Everyone had become familiar with Shen Shouyan for a while, and as soon as Baiji and the others left, they immediately started a fire.

Shen Shouyan went to invite the generals here, and everyone sat on the ground. Many brave ones also came over to eat.

Yan Shichang's status was there, so he ate with them, but he was inhaling it violently... Shen Shouyan patted him on the shoulder and gave him a steamed bun: "Chang'er, you have eaten it, so eat less and let everyone have a taste."

Yan Shichang: “…”

He could only feel aggrieved and get a bowl of food from the big pot and start eating steamed buns.

Others teased him, and someone said with a smile: "Your Highness, please let us go. This is the only time in our lives that we can eat the imperial meal!!"

"Eat, eat," Yan Shichang said, "I won't fight with you!"

Someone laughed and said, "The little princess and Coach Shen have such a good relationship?"

"Yes!" Yan Shichang said, "My sister is so good, of course everyone likes her and everyone loves her!"

"Oh," someone laughed, "Aren't you anxious? Even your master loves the little princess more!"

"Isn't it supposed to be like this?" Yan Shichang said, "My sister is smart and cute. I'm so dumb, so no matter who I call, I'm sure they love my sister more!"

Normally no one dared to ask about this, but today when it was mentioned, everyone found out that Yan Shichang was really a girl-fan.

At this moment, Xinbao is still in the Wuju Garden.

Because all the Wang family members were not at home, they brought a cook with them when they went out, brought food out from the palace, and had a hotpot meal.

Because the Wang family members were not at home, he got on the carriage without having dinner. He had dinner in the carriage and came back a little earlier than usual.

As a result, before reaching the Imperial Street, I saw people kneeling on the street ahead.
