It seems my intuition was right; I need my beloved concubine's consent to have children. It seems I need to speak more sweetly to her in the future and get her to give me more children.
Situ Rui thought about it more and more and felt that this was a good idea. It seemed that the bad lineage of the Liang royal family's poor offspring was about to be broken with him.
It can only be said that he was being too optimistic. Didn't he even consider whether his beloved concubine was willing to bear him children?
As usual, the reward was given to the palace maids and eunuchs of Changchun Palace. He thought that this time it should be his beloved little princess, so he was particularly generous with the reward, giving each person ten taels of silver. For an ordinary farming family, ten taels of silver could live a good life for two years, so you can imagine how generous he was.
For Changchun Palace, it was a joyous occasion; for the rest of the palace, it was a disaster.
Another batch of porcelain was replaced. Of course, the official excuse was that a palace maid accidentally broke it. As for who broke it, everyone knew the truth: it was one of the concubines in the palace who broke it out of anger.
Because the Empress Dowager held power in the inner palace, she noticed that the frequency of porcelain replacements in the various palaces was a bit too high. Even though she knew the reason, she was not satisfied and directly told them that if they wanted to replace the porcelain, they should pay for it themselves, and she would not subsidize them.
Needless to say, the concubines who received the news were furious. They felt that the Empress Dowager was also helping Changchun Palace and that she disliked them because they had not given birth.
Since confirming her pregnancy, Tang Baozhu's desire to learn medicine has been prevented. The emperor wanted her to start learning after giving birth, as continuing to study during pregnancy would be too exhausting and could harm the fetus.
Tang Baozhu had no choice but to suspend her studies. Fortunately, she had memorized everything she read in the book and had a photographic memory. That's how amazing she was.
The three princes were overjoyed to hear that their mother was pregnant again. They kept telling their mother that they wanted to have a little sister, since there were already three princes and all they needed was a little princess.
Not to mention the little prince who wanted a little sister, even the emperor kept saying that his beloved concubine was definitely carrying a little princess. After hearing it so many times, he also thought that a little princess would indeed be wonderful.
Since Tang Baozhu couldn't study or expend her energy, she decided to make soap and other similar products, which could bring in a lot of money. She didn't need to ask Mr. Xu from the modern world for the recipes for soap and other similar products, since almost everyone who had been to school knew them.
First, he tried it several times in Changchun Palace to let the emperor know that he had figured it out little by little through experimentation. At first, he deliberately did it poorly, and then gradually improved it. When he did it exceptionally well, he wrote down the recipe.
Situ Rui had long known that his beloved concubine was up to something again, but he knew that what she was doing was very useful, so he never stopped her, because he was also one of the beneficiaries.
The glass house he owns now earns almost half of the national tax revenue. He's thinking about his beloved concubine and coming up with a particularly good plan. He'll arm his army to the teeth so that he won't have to worry about nomadic tribes invading his homeland every winter.
This is why Tang Baozhu had so much merit. Although half of the army was armed, it still managed to repel the invaders and save the country from disaster. Therefore, the merit of saving people was also attributed to him, although it was only a small part, it was still a lot.
Once you've prepared the prescription, hand it directly to Situ Rui when he arrives at Changchun Palace.
"Baozhu, is this the house you've been working on all this time? I didn't expect it to be so useful. It seems to be better than the cleaning products we used to have in the palace. It seems that what my beloved concubine made this time is quite useful."
Situ Rui washed his hands with the soap made by his beloved concubine and found that it did indeed clean them quite well, and his hands were smoother after washing. He thought that this product would definitely sell very well after it was made.
"If Your Majesty finds it useful, then all my efforts will have been worthwhile. Your Majesty can make this in several grades so that ordinary people can afford it. Moreover, if it is clean and hygienic, it will be less likely to cause disease."
Tang Baozhu felt that things were much better now than when she first transmigrated to this era. At least back in Tongcheng, it was easy to step on a landmine if you weren't careful. Even in a place like the capital, there were places that stank.
But things are much better now, because the emperor is no longer short of money, so the renovations have been done exceptionally well. At least on every street, there are places for people to use the toilet, and because there are fines, those who urinate and defecate indiscriminately no longer exist.
"My dear consort is too modest. None of the prescriptions you presented were useless. I should thank you."
Situ Rui felt that if he hadn't been lucky enough to encounter the precious pearl, the country would definitely not have been governed so well. At the very least, the issue of offspring would have been a major problem, and if a country's emperor had no offspring, then turmoil was not far off.
This was a very strong intuition, especially as the country was being governed better and better. He knew that all of this was due to his beloved concubine. It seemed that his concubine was the legendary lucky star, and fortunately, this lucky star was helping him.
Tang Baozhu had no idea that the emperor actually regarded her as a lucky star. But even if she did know, she would still feel that she deserved it, because if it weren't for her, the country would be in chaos.
Physician Zhang was reborn. He said that in his previous life, the emperor had no sons, the country was in chaos, and the people of the Great Liang Dynasty were suffering.
"I am happy to be able to help Your Majesty."
Seeing his beloved concubine's deep affection, Situ Rui felt that after she gave birth to this child, she could be made empress. He believed that his beloved concubine was worthy of the responsibilities of an empress, and he wanted to give her the best so as not to waste her deep affection.
It's just wishful thinking; his beloved concubine didn't have that deep feelings for him. It was only because the emperor hadn't visited other concubines for so many years that she developed a slight affection for him. But to say that she had any deep feelings for him is utter nonsense.
"Don't worry, my beloved consort, I will not let you down. This time, please take five percent of the profits. I felt bad that you suffered a loss with the glass recipe last time, so please don't refuse this time."
It can only be said that Tang Baozhu is gaining more and more importance in Situ Rui's heart, and he unconsciously considers her interests and doesn't want her to suffer any losses.
She hesitated for a moment, but seeing that the emperor insisted on giving her five percent interest, she finally agreed.
As long as the emperor doesn't regret it later, that's fine, since soap and bar soap are quite profitable.
