The prince's mind raced, and then he said, "Father, I think this child may really be blessed by God." He knelt down and said, "I beg you to send a few people to protect her in secret."
Emperor Ming Yan was stunned.
As an emperor, he certainly knew about the dispute between the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.
He regarded the disputes over state affairs as a kind of training and was happy to see them succeed. But he was very disgusted with the Third Prince's use of such a direct and rough method to deal with a commoner.
This is the handle handed to the prince.
He thought that the Crown Prince would feel aggrieved and angry, and would blame the Third Prince openly or secretly, and at the same time secretly send someone to monitor or protect her.
As a living "auspicious sign", he would of course send people to keep an eye on it.
But he didn't expect that the prince would ask him directly for the person.
Emperor Mingyan said calmly: "Why do you want me to send someone? Don't you have anyone available?"
The prince's palms were slightly sweaty, but he said calmly, "Because I want to make a bet with my father."
...
...
"What bet?"
"My son wants to bet on this child. Her achievements are not limited to this. She will definitely bring more surprises to my Dayan in the future."
He paused, "There is a 50% chance that she was attacked because of my son. If I ignore it, I will not be able to bear it, but I have to intervene. My son and her are just casual acquaintances, and we can't say that we have a deep friendship. I am afraid that it will cause misunderstandings. It is better for my father to send someone to go."
This is said with a very clear conscience.
Emperor Mingyan nodded: "I will consider it."
The prince left the imperial study, his lips slightly raised, then immediately retracted.
He now seemed to have truly understood the meaning of the words "king and father".
This is a "good omen"! He would be stupid to pull it into his own hands, afraid that the emperor would not mind?
If he guessed correctly, Emperor Ming Yan would definitely send someone in his name.
Even though Emperor Ming Yan knew that the Third Prince would do something, knowing is one thing and encountering him in person is another. The Third Prince has always been arrogant. If the people he sent out hurt his father's people... that would be interesting.
As for Tang Shiyue, that clever girl, he really had nothing to worry about.
When the news about Lady Fu reached Chang'an, Meng Yiqiu had already ridden out of the city gate.
He swore in front of his grandmother that he would never return to Chang'an until he married Tang Shiyue. He even handed over some of his work to his brother. He was determined not to give up even if he had to pursue her for a year or two.
This move invisibly earned Tang Shiyue enough hatred in front of countless girls in the capital.
Tang Shiyue didn't expect that this guy would act crazy again. Of course, she didn't even remember that he had been here.
At this moment, two men in black were standing in front of her.
Tang Shiyue was very curious: "Are you sent by Yandong?"
The man in black said, “Yes.”
"May I have your name?"
"Ding Jiu."
"Ding Jiu!" She nodded and asked, "Who pays your wages?"
The men in black thought she would definitely confirm their identities and were ready to take out the token...but they didn't expect her to say this.
Ding Jiu was silent for a moment before he said, "Master Tang, don't worry about the wages." He paused with difficulty and said, "Young Master Yan will pay it."
Then he saw the young lady in front of him blink her big eyes and said mysteriously: "Well, do you want to make some extra money?"
Ding Jiu: “……???”
Half an hour later, two men who had changed their clothes followed her.
When she came out, there was a figure flashing outside. It was Tang Shijin. This was the second time she had seen him in the past few days. He thought he was so good at hiding.
But she didn't want to pay attention to him. A "literary man" like him couldn't do anything great. She didn't accept his challenge and just waited to see what he could do.
Then Tang Shiyue took the newly tricked young man and a group of villagers to the mountain.
It is the busy farming season now, and we are looking for strong laborers. We will fool anyone who can!
She is teaching them fruit tree grafting.
For apples, pears, peaches, apricots and the like, the best time for grafting is March and April. She plans to bring more people to do more. Even if only half of them are successful, it will be good!
Moreover, the Dayan Dynasty has always had favorable policies for land reclamation, and unowned wasteland is exempt from tax for three years. So Tang Shiyue is planning to hire people to reclaim the land and plant fruit trees after the spring sowing is completed, and make preserved fruits, canned food, squeeze juice in the future... any of them can make money!
Even after he learned how to do it and tried it himself, Ding Jiu was still a little dazed.
They are the Dragon Guards! All under heaven only obey the orders of the Emperor!
Why did she say that hidden protection is not as good as open protection, and that you have nothing to do anyway, so it would be a waste not to make some extra money... and then come to plant fruit trees? Fortunately, I didn't bring everyone to see her!
But His Majesty said that we should make friends appropriately and do what is convenient for us, so he shouldn’t blame us...right?
Tang Shiyue led this group of people to work for two days and they had almost finished taming the wild fruit trees on the mountain. Then she sent these people out to find villages nearby that had a large number of fruit trees and taught them for free. Those who wanted to learn could learn, and those who didn't like it wouldn't be forced.
However, people in this era were extremely reverent towards gods, so when it came to Lady Fu, no one was unwilling to learn, even if they had no idea why, they were willing to do it.
Then Tang Shiyue left Ding Jiu and the other two to graft the fruit trees behind her house, praising him non-stop: "Ding Jiu, I think you are very talented! You are very skillful! Among so many people, you are the best!"
Ding Jiu couldn't help but smiled and thanked him: "Thank you for the compliment."
The subordinates next to him looked at him silently.
Ding Jiu touched the corner of his mouth in fear...
My god, this girl is too weird, with the brainwashing ability of a cult! Will anyone believe that she is an iron warrior now?
After the grafting was completed, Tang Shiyue paid each of them 300 wen as wages, and gave him an extra 100 wen as a bonus, and then offered them a "high price" of 200 wen a day, asking them to "by the way" teach the children in the martial arts school.
Ding Jiu, an iron-clad revolutionary fighter, refused coldly: "No, we are here to protect you on the orders of Lord Yan!"
Okay, Tang Shiyue didn’t care, and then asked someone to make a few sets of clothes for them.
Those who are familiar with Tang Shiyue know that this is her habit. She likes to make "uniforms" and she likes to put cloth stickers on the uniforms. But Ding Jiu doesn't know!
He was just feeling a little touched when he noticed that on the back of the uniform he had taken, there were words written on the cloth: "Green willows are shedding catkins" and "Red plums are in bud"...
What a mess!
Lord Ding slapped the table.
Tang Shiyue felt quite aggrieved: "This word is used to praise you, don't you understand? Have you never been to school?"
Ding Jiu: “…”
She continued, "Aren't you Yandong's people? I finally found a few suitable words in the couplet written by Yandong! This is the best of both worlds. This way you can protect me and show that you remember your old master... Isn't this what you all like?"
Ding Jiu: “…”
Then she took out two more pieces: "It would be nice if there were four of you. I actually put together four pieces in total, but these two words were not very beautiful, so I didn't use them."
On the two pieces were written: "Five Lakes and Four Seas" and "Thousands of Mountains and Rivers".
No! ! !
Lord Ding rejected it madly in his heart.
However, Tang Fangzhu said: "Don't you know I'm famous? If I go out now, many people will look at me. If you want to follow me, you have to dress in style. If you don't dress well, I won't take you out!"
In the end, Mr. Ding accepted the "five lakes and four seas" and "thousands of mountains and rivers" with shame and humiliation.
When the baby feels aggrieved, he speaks out.
Mr. Ding decided to report it to his master immediately.
Tang Shiyue snorted and walked into the room, his eyes slightly narrowed.
You know, everything she does is extremely advanced and reliable, and it will attract attention if you tell others about it.
But she couldn't refuse these people, no matter whether they were sent by the person she thought of or by the real Yan Dong.
She couldn't refuse to be monitored, but she couldn't do nothing either, so she could only put on an extremely unreliable coat over a reliable thing.
Moreover, it seems that they really have someone secretly, and they are hiding it from her!
Just as he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, he suddenly heard a heart-wrenching howl from outside, and someone cried out, "Master Tang, help me! Lady Fu! Please! Save me!"
