Chapter 12: The Days I Can’t Speak (Part 2)



No, in order to get the 200,000 taels of silver as quickly as possible, Emperor Qixuan found an excuse to leave.

When she reached the door, Concubine Shu came in carrying a small soup bowl.

Emperor Qixuan walked over and whispered in her ear: "Wanzhi, don't worry. I have already sent Zhao Jingwu to the border."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu's hand holding the tray trembled.

Looking at Li Wanzhi, whose face was haggard and eyes were red and swollen, Emperor Qi Xuan patted her hand comfortingly and promised before leaving: "It will be fine."

I hope so.

Concubine Shu walked in worriedly.

After the money bag was gone, Chu Yaoyao turned her attention to the prince.

[Throwing the jade pendant is also OK. 】

Thinking of this, she stretched out her tentative little hand.

The prince sighed softly and said, "Forget it, let her do as she pleases."

Thinking of this, he took off the jade pendant from his waist and asked, "Does Yaoyao like this?"

Chu Yaoyao grabbed the jade pendant with both hands, turned around and hid it under the pillow.

[Since it's mine, forget it. ]

Prince: ...

Didn't you agree to remind us? Just after hiding the jade pendant, Chu Yaoyao suddenly smelled a fragrance and stared at the soup bowl with burning eyes.

[It smells so good, it smells like chicken soup! ]

Concubine Shu opened the soup bowl and found it was chicken noodle soup.

Although the ingredients are simple, the cooking skills of the imperial kitchen are extraordinary. The old hen is cooked with wolfberries and red dates for three hours. The chicken is tender and the noodles cooked in the chicken soup are very flavorful.

The beautiful mother fed her personally, and the prince was there to wipe her mouth. Yaoyao ate happily.

[Brother Prince is so gentle. I wonder which noble lady he will marry in the future.]

Hearing this, the prince curled his lips and smiled. This little kid is thinking a lot. What daughter of gold? He has someone in his heart.

When he thought of his sweetheart, his smile faded a lot. He didn't know the girl's name or where she was...

[It would be nice if it was the elder sister of the Zhao family. After all, the elder sister of the Zhao family really likes the prince. ]

The Zhao family? Could it be the daughter of Zhao Jingwu? The prince's mind was filled with the image of Zhao Jingwu, a man of great stature, dark skin, and a voice as loud as a bell.

If Miss Zhao took after her father's appearance...

The prince shuddered instantly, not daring to think about it, not daring to think about it...

"Sister, Yaoyao sister!"

Chu You and Chu Yao walked in one after another.

Chu You has resolved his worries and is now full of energy and vigor.

On the other hand, Chu Yao was huddled in a corner listlessly, holding a book in his arms.

What is that?

System: Thirty-Six Stratagems, there is the Third Prince's melon, do you want to eat it? Chu Yaoyao's eyes lit up, [You must eat it. ]

System: After the Third Prince returned to Chendong yesterday, he had two large boxes of scripts dragged out and burned in the yard.

System: He also sent away all the palace maids serving in the bedroom, leaving only a few eunuchs, and spread the word that all women must stay ten feet away from him in the future.

【Why is this? 】

I was scared when I heard your inner voice, but this system won’t tell you.

[Could it be... that he was hurt by love, or that he has misogyny or something? Why is it so ridiculous? ]

[But at this point in time, he hasn't met the heroine yet. ]

Thinking of the age of the third prince, Chu Yaoyao's expression became complicated. People in ancient times were really... precocious.

Chu Yao wanted to go up and talk to his sister, but Yaoyao was accompanied by Concubine Shu, his elder brother and his second brother. He did not dare to go over and just held the Thirty-Six Stratagems tightly in his arms.

Seeing Yaoyao in a daze, they knew that she was communicating with the immortal again, and they consciously stopped disturbing her.

"Third brother, why are you standing so far away?" The prince felt that there was something wrong with Chu Yao.

"It's okay, I just think it's cool here."

Noticing what was in his arms, the prince continued to ask, "What is that?"

Chu Yao revealed the title of the book.

The prince nodded with satisfaction, "Third brother, you have grown up and know how to work hard. Keep up the good work. I have high hopes for you."

As he said this, he was about to go up to him and exchange some ideas with him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step forward, Chu Yao took a step back. He took another step forward...

The prince looked at Chu You in confusion, and Chu You shook his head to indicate that he didn't know either.

Only Concubine Shu looked at Chu Yao's back thoughtfully.

【Why did you run away again? 】

[Forget it, forget about it, let’s draw the lottery, let’s draw ten times in a row first! ]

System: Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Glass production process and formula x1; Braised beef noodles five-pack x3; Thank you for your patronage x3; Ten kilograms of potatoes x1; Ten kilograms of sweet potatoes x1.

System: Congratulations to the host for winning a special item: a favorability display, which allows you to see above each person's head how much they like the host.

【Favorability?】

The system didn't respond, probably offline again.

Chu Yaoyao looked at them one by one and saw a red heart on the beautiful mother's head, indicating 100 points.

[Hehe, my beautiful mother, Yaoyao loves you too, I love you muah. ]

Hearing this sudden love, Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, then her face turned slightly red. What did the immortal say to Yaoyao?

How can a girl always mention that word?

It's really... so embarrassing...

Chu Yaoyao turned her gaze to the prince, well, it’s one third of a red heart, 85 points.

The second brother has a quarter of a red heart on his head, which is lower than that of the crown prince.

Sister Chunshi also scored 100 points. She has such a high liking for her, which shows how loyal she is to her mother.

After trying out the new golden finger on the people in the room, Chu Yaoyao continued to read on.

【Glass?】

[My second brother went to the Ministry of Industry, so this formula is just right for him to study.]

Looking at another familiar red package, Yaoyao couldn't stop drooling, [Slurp, slurp, instant noodles. ]

Rubbing his small belly that had just been full, Yaoyao sighed and thought that he should not have eaten so much.

Glass? Instant noodles? The three people who heard Yaoyao's thoughts were very curious, but before they could think about it, they heard:

[Potatoes? Do you want to add a side dish for me? There are also baked sweet potatoes, which are my favorite. ]

system:……

Still eating! Did he forget that he came here just for a piece of baked sweet potato?

System: Just a reminder, potatoes and sweet potatoes are both high-quality varieties. The yield of potatoes per mu can reach 3,000 kilograms, and the yield of sweet potatoes per mu can reach 4,000 kilograms.

After that, the system went offline again.

[The yield per mu is 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms? ]

What?!

The pupils of the three people who heard the inner voice suddenly dilated.

The main crops in Daqi are rice, millet, sorghum and wheat. The highest yield per mu is only 400 kilograms, and that is when the weather is good and the harvest is good.

Three thousand kilograms!

What kind of potato can actually produce so much? If there is such a good variety, the people of Daqi will never go hungry again.

Several people hesitated to speak, thinking of Yaoyao's coma. They couldn't ask directly, they couldn't ask directly...

"Your Majesty, be careful."

Steward Su supported Emperor Qixuan with a nervous look on his face, looking at the threshold under his feet in confusion.

This... is not high? Emperor Qixuan had forgotten how he walked in, and only silently repeated in his heart: 3,000 catties, 3,000 catties per mu...

He picked up Yaoyao, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, "I plan to visit the farm in the suburbs in the next few days, Yaoyao, do you want to go out of the palace to play?"

【Leaving the palace? 】

Emperor Qixuan sighed and continued to speak: "Last year, there were severe floods and the grain output was reduced by 30%. I don't know what the situation will be this year."

Chu Yaoyao nodded.

[It would be nice to go out of the palace and take a look, but...]

Emperor Qixuan was a little nervous. Did he discover something? [Why is my cheap father's voice trembling? It sounds a little weak.]

Emperor Qixuan: ...

I am so excited, so excited!!!
