Although Tang Baozhu wanted to go and see it now, she suddenly stopped worrying about the Emperor's arrival and the arrival of her money. Instead, she headed straight for Changchun Palace.
Upon entering Changchun Palace, I first went to check on the two young princes. Seeing that they were sleeping soundly in the side hall, I instructed the wet nurses and maids to take good care of them before hurrying back to my own bedchamber.
Quickly call all the palace maids out, and don't leave any Yu Xiang or corn behind. After they leave, close the door behind them.
Tang Baozhu quickly took out the cement formula from the warehouse, but looking at the formula, she was unsure whether it was appropriate to take it out. After all, the origin of the formula was unclear, and she wouldn't know how to answer if the emperor asked her where the formula came from.
Hopefully, Situ Rui will be sensible and not ask about the origin of the prescription. After all, although their relationship isn't bad, it's not quite at the level of true love.
The two of them can cooperate with each other. Tang Baozhu doesn't insist on anything else. After all, this is only her first world. She doesn't want to be thinking about a jerk every day instead of completing her mission.
Tang Baozhu thought about the silver notes she had received from the emperor over the past year, which amounted to two or three million taels. She wondered if such a large sum of money would cause any trouble, since it didn't seem like a good thing for a concubine in the harem to have so much money.
It seems she needs to think carefully about whether she should give the emperor a share of the profits, keeping two layers for herself. Two layers would be more than enough for a year.
Although he was a little heartbroken about losing money, compared to that, his head was more important. If the emperor found an excuse to kill him one day, he would have nothing left. He hadn't forgotten that his mission was to die a natural death.
Now that she had thought of it, Tang Baozhu made up her mind and wouldn't give herself a chance to regret it. She would start with today's bonus and take two points of bonus later.
Although it hurt a little, two points of bonus was already quite a lot. I told myself not to be greedy and to focus on the task at hand.
When Situ Rui entered, he saw his beloved concubine with a conflicted expression, her face all scrunched up, a real waste of her beautiful face.
"My beloved concubine, what are you doing? If there's anything you can't figure out, tell me and I'll give you some advice."
Tang Baozhu was completely absorbed in her own thoughts, and she didn't even know when the emperor had entered. So, his sudden voice must have startled her.
I touched my chest, which was trembling with fear, and felt a cold sweat instantly break out on my forehead.
Situ Rui didn't know his beloved concubine was so easily frightened that she didn't even hear him walk in. Seeing her stunned expression, he quickly went over and hugged her.
"My beloved concubine, don't be afraid, it's me, it's me here, are you alright?"
Tang Baozhu listened to Situ Rui's heartbeat for a while before she came to her senses. If the person next to her wasn't the emperor, she would have jumped up and punched him a few times. That dog emperor really is a dog; he doesn't even make a sound when he walks...
She silently cursed him several times in her heart, then suddenly realized that she had been thinking too much and hadn't even heard him come in. For a moment, she felt guilty.
"Your Majesty, I am fine. I was just so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't even notice Your Majesty's arrival. I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness."
"What offense are you apologizing for? It's my fault for not having the palace servants inform you beforehand. I was thinking of giving my beloved consort a surprise, but I didn't expect to frighten her. My beloved consort, what were you thinking about just now? You seemed so engrossed in your thoughts."
Tang Baozhu's eyes lit up and she immediately came up with an excuse, which was exactly what she had just been thinking about.
"Your Majesty, I'm just a little scared thinking about how much money I have. I feel like someone is going to rob me. Your Majesty, could you please give me two percent of the profits in the future? I'm really afraid when I see so many banknotes."
Situ Rui was surprised that it was such a small matter, and why was his beloved concubine so timid? She was actually afraid because there were too many silver notes. However, his beloved concubine's suggestion was quite good. It would be good to put those dividends into the national treasury, so that they could be used for disasters in the future. It was also a token of his beloved concubine's goodwill.
"Since my beloved consort is afraid, then I will grant your request. From now on, the three-tenths of the dividend will be used specifically for disaster relief! This will save the Ministry of Revenue from always making excuses about not having enough money whenever there is a disaster. I want to thank my beloved consort."
Upon hearing that the money was to be used for disaster relief, Tang Baozhu suddenly realized that it was money that she had given away. She wondered if it would bring her any merit after the disaster relief efforts. In any case, it was all money she had given away, so if it brought any merit, it would be an unexpected bonus.
"Your Majesty, I thank you. What would I have done without Your Majesty?"
Upon hearing this, Situ Rui felt that his beloved concubine would not be able to live without him. He instantly felt needed and unconsciously became even more biased towards Baozhu.
Then she thought that she was, after all, the mother of her three sons. If she didn't protect her, what would happen?
"Who told you to be my woman? If I don't protect you, who will?"
Even though Tang Baozhu was rolling her eyes inwardly, she remained outwardly calm, thinking that the emperor was currently feeling self-satisfied, so she took this opportunity to hand over the cement formula to him.
"Your Majesty, I have had this cement formula for a long time. I have heard that it is exceptionally hard. I don't know what I can do with it. After thinking about it, I think Your Majesty is so capable that you should be able to find the most suitable place to use it."
Situ Rui, as expected of an emperor, immediately thought of the ground upon hearing that this thing was exceptionally hard, and his mind raced with all sorts of wild imaginations. However, he also knew that if used properly, this thing would definitely be a powerful weapon.
"My beloved consort is so thoughtful. I never expected that you would give me another prescription. It seems that you are truly my lucky star. If you weren't, I wouldn't have three little princes. My beloved consort has made such a great contribution this time. Is there anything you desire?"
Tang Baozhu felt that this was definitely a test for her. If Situ Rui knew, he would definitely feel wronged. He truly believed that Baozhu was his lucky star and wanted to reward her with something to show his favor.
"Your Majesty, I have no desires. I lack nothing here. Your Majesty has thought of everything for me. I cannot think of anything I am missing."
Situ Rui thought that Changchun Palace seemed to have nothing lacking. She didn't lack gold, silver, jewelry, clothes, or ornaments either. After all, since she became pregnant, Changchun Palace had been constantly giving her gifts, and the storerooms must be overflowing with them.
