The old lady didn't stay in the mountain for long before she came out.
The whole person feels refreshed, as if he is several years younger.
Chi Xingyue and Ling Jiheng helped the old lady down the mountain first, but as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they heard that Emperor Zhou had arrived.
Take a few princes and grandchildren out for a stroll.
Ling Jiheng hesitated for a moment, but still took Chi Xingyue and the old lady to pay their respects.
After all, they are all monarchs.
It would be fine if you didn't know about this, but it would be very rude not to say hello after knowing it.
What's more, Chi Xingyue was still the county lady. She had been given the title for so long, but she had never thanked him in person.
Led by the villagers, the group came to the imperial farm and were stopped by the guards at the gate.
"Who?"
Ling Jiheng stepped forward and identified himself: "I am Ling Jiheng from Qingshan Village. I have met Emperor Zhou once before, and I have come to pay my respects."
Then he took out Chi Xingyue's identity jade card and said, "This is my wife, the Princess of Le'an County!"
The guard hesitated for a moment and then went into the manor to report.
Chi Xingyue and the old lady were standing under the big tree at the door waiting.
About a quarter of an hour later, someone came out and invited them into the village.
Chi Xingyue discovered that although the imperial farm started construction later than theirs, it was basically completed.
There are pavilions, towers, small bridges and flowing water inside, with carved beams and painted buildings, which are extremely beautiful.
Of course, I just took a glance.
Royal possessions were not to be coveted by common people. Even a glance at them was considered blasphemy.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they were led into a courtyard.
After waiting for half an hour, Emperor Zhou finally arrived and asked with a smile, "Are you getting impatient?"
Ling Jiheng quickly knelt down: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Chi Xingyue and the old lady hurried to catch up.
Emperor Zhou raised his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. I haven't seen you for a few years, and Ji Heng has become even more handsome. I heard that you are very popular in Changhe Academy?"
Ling Jiheng said modestly: "Dean Wen hopes to train more students who can shoulder great responsibilities and accomplish real things.
I am fortunate to have been favored by President Wen, so I must take it upon myself to learn how to write policy essays, how to be an official, and how to serve the people."
Emperor Zhou nodded, gave Ling Jiheng a few words of advice, and then turned his attention to Chi Xingyue.
"Is this the Princess of Le'an County? She is truly a woman of great talent and beauty."
Chi Xingyue hurriedly bowed and thanked Emperor Zhou for his praise.
The Zhou Emperor waved his hand and said, "I should thank you for discovering high-yield grains and laying a solid foundation for the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Emperor Zhou spoke frankly about the important role sweet potatoes played in quelling the civil unrest.
Chi Xingyue did not dare to take credit for it and could only say that Emperor Zhou was destined to be emperor.
Emperor Zhou shook his head. "It's not destiny, it's the will of the people. The Zhou army has been stationed on the border for decades, serving the country and the people. This is what I and my men deserve."
Chi Xingyue echoed: "Your Majesty has many supporters and will surely create a prosperous country."
Emperor Zhou laughed heartily: "You, little girl, are also ambitious. It's a pity that you are a girl..."
Unable to serve as an official or take the imperial examinations.
Chi Xingyue felt a little frustrated and followed the other person's words, "Xingyue dare not meddle in the country. I only hope to take care of the domestic affairs for my husband, so that he has no worries and can devote himself to the great Zhou Dynasty."
I dare not reveal my ambitions at all, for fear of being feared or disliked by the other party.
Emperor Zhou nodded lovingly, "It's very good to have such awareness."
Then he turned his head and looked at the old lady: "The old lady has taught her children well!"
The old lady knelt down excitedly: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I am so ashamed to accept it!"
Emperor Zhou helped the man up and asked about their situation in the capital city.
Ling Jiheng told the truth and also invited the imperial chef to the pastry shop for further training so that he could make some new things for the emperor in the future.
Emperor Zhou smiled and nodded: "Thank you very much for your kindness, Ji Heng."
The group chatted for a while, and then someone came to pay their respects to Emperor Zhou.
Even if I come out to relax, I can't put down my official duties.
Many court affairs could not be delayed for a moment, and Emperor Zhou often had to put down his chopsticks to deal with them while he was still eating.
It can be said to be quite hard.
If it weren't for years of exercise, there's no way his body could have endured it.
He has grown a lot in the past two years.
Seeing that the other party was busy, Ling Jiheng left tactfully.
Emperor Zhou did not try to keep him, but waved his hand and asked the chief steward to see him off.
Chi Xingyue walked a long way away before he breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't until he returned to the Ling family manor that he came to his senses.
Mom, she saw the living emperor.
Unbelievable!
It's like smoke is coming out of the ancestral grave.
The old lady's face was also flushed as she showed off her experience of the day to the old man.
When the old man heard that she was going to see the emperor, he became very excited.
I regret not following them down the mountain and missing such an honorable opportunity.
Geng Suhua, Shu Muyun, and Liang Zhijun also came over and asked questions.
A group of people were arguing loudly, and the workers were staring at each other in amazement.
I thought to myself that this master was really capable, as he actually had a relationship with the emperor.
No wonder, no wonder he could buy such a large piece of land next to the imperial farm and include such a big mountain.
Suddenly, Chi Xingyue's stomach growled.
Aunt Taohua hurriedly brought the food and said, "Hurry up and drink some soup. The old man just waited for you but you didn't come back, so he wanted to go out and look for you.
Fortunately, you are all okay!"
Chi Xingyue took a sip of the chicken soup and found it super delicious.
He finished the bowl unknowingly, then took the food brought by Aunt Taohua and started eating it with a grunt.
Ling Jiheng also felt a little hungry, nodded, and left the battlefield.
After finishing the meal, I found that the old lady was still talking, and I was speechless.
He hurried over and rescued the old lady.
