This was something he really shouldn't have said. Right now, the Emperor and Empress were enjoying each other's affection. Saying this would ruin the atmosphere, and most importantly, it would easily make the Empress resent him.
If the Empress holds a grudge against me in this palace, I will suffer a lot.
Empress Zhang didn't take it seriously, but she just smiled at Chen Hong because she came too suddenly.
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Alright, why push it? I'm going with the Queen. Go tell them that I'm going with the Queen."
Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Empress Zhang and asked, "I want to go to the Hundred Craftsmen's Workshop to take a look. Would the Empress be willing to go with me?"
Looking up at Zhu Youxiao, Empress Zhang blushed slightly and said, "As long as I'm with Your Majesty, I'm willing to go anywhere."
Zhu Youxiao looked at Empress Zhang with a hint of surprise on his face, and at the same time he felt really moved, so he reached out and hugged Empress Zhang.
At this, Empress Zhang's face turned even redder, and she murmured, "Your Majesty, there are people watching here."
After looking around, Zhu Youxiao's eyes finally fell on Chen Hong. "Did you see it?"
Chen Hong was suddenly speechless.
You said that you two are showing off your love. As a eunuch, I have already been shown off by you. How dare you ask me to answer such a question?
However, Chen Hong still put on a smile and said, "Your Majesty, the wind was so strong just now that my eyes were blinded. Now I can't see anything."
Hearing Zhu Youxiao ask such a question, Empress Zhang became even more shy and said softly, "Your Majesty..."
Seeing Empress Zhang's appearance at this time, Zhu Youxiao had an urge to take her directly back to the house.
Why go to Baigongyuan at this time?
However, Zhu Youxiao himself knew that he absolutely could not do that. If he really did that, it would mean that the emperor and the empress were committing adultery in broad daylight.
A good queen must have a reputation.
If he was branded as a tyrant, then the queen's reputation would be better, giving his subjects hope and allowing them to go to the queen when they had problems.
This can serve as a mediator between himself and his ministers, just like Empress Zhangsun of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin.
"Okay, let's go." Zhu Youxiao let go of Empress Zhang, but still reached out and held her hand.
Empress Zhang tried to pull her hand out, but failed.
Zhu Youxiao took Empress Zhang's hand, looked at her, and said with a smile: "We are the emperor and empress of deep love. Let's set an example for them and let everyone in the world see it."
After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Empress Zhang stopped struggling. Although she felt a little embarrassed and her face turned red, she still let her majesty hold her hand.
The emperor brought the empress to the Academy of Craftsmen, which was a big event for everyone in the Academy.
No one expected that the emperor would bring the queen with him, but everyone also realized one thing, that is, the emperor really doted on the queen. You know, this place is not accessible to everyone.
"Why did His Majesty bring the Queen with him?" Bi Maokang's face was full of confusion. He asked Xu Guangqi beside him hesitantly. He wanted Xu Guangqi to give him an explanation.
After looking at Bi Maokang, Xu Guangqi just shook his head and said nothing.
How can I explain it to him?
I don't know anything.
But seeing that he was still staring at him, Xu Guangqi could only say helplessly: "The deep love between Your Majesty and the Queen is a blessing for us ministers."
Bi Maokang turned around and he also knew that Xu Guangqi was talking nonsense.
As the second-in-command of the cabinet, Xu Guangqi should be very busy and has no time to come here on weekdays.
But Xu Guangqi was really worried, so he would come here whenever he had free time.
His Majesty is coming today, so Xu Guangqi came along too.
Xu Guangqi, now in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, was currently researching seed breeding. He had already selected several imperial farms and had the land leveled, preparing to begin cultivating crop seeds and then distributing them.
Xu Guangqi believed that the first thing to promote was sweet potatoes. "It's a good thing," he said. "If this year's trial planting is successful, then next year he will promote it on a large scale."
In addition, Xu Guangqi also learned several new planting techniques from Zhu Youxiao, such as selective breeding and hybridization.
Although it is not known whether it will work, it has opened a new door for Xu Guangqi.
It’s just that the time is not right now, otherwise Xu Guangqi would have devoted himself to it.
In the words of Zhu Youxiao, eating is the most important thing in the world.
Whether it is the people of the world, the army, or the officials, only when they have enough food can they have the mind to do things.
Even if you want to curse in the streets, you have to eat a full meal to have the energy to do so.
Xu Guangqi particularly agreed with this point, and he was also paying attention to the Baigong Academy.
In the words of Xu Guangqi, after the food is prepared, the army is prepared, and the equipment is prepared, then the war can begin.
Xu Guangqi looks like a kind old man, but he is quite dark.
