After looking at Feng Xi and then at the snow pear in his hand, Emperor Sheng De finally recovered from the shock of being suddenly cared about by his good-for-nothing daughter.
There is no way, he is busy with everything and really has no time to take care of his daughter.
When he came to his senses, his daughter had been abandoned.
It's not like he hasn't beaten or scolded him before, and he tried hard to correct her, but it turns out that the belated harshness not only failed to correct his daughter, but also made her worse.
After all, it was his negligence, so he became more and more tolerant of his daughter.
Until she went around acting like a monster and trampled the prince-in-law he specially found for her like a piece of grass. She didn't learn to be a good person, but she got worse and worse...
He was already hopeless, but unexpectedly he went crazy again recently. Fortunately, judging from what he knew, the madness was not particularly serious.
No, even crazy people know how to care about themselves.
In the past, when I saw him, I asked for money, land, and things, and I never asked him a single question.
So Emperor Sheng De, after a brief shock, said to Zhao Xi beside him:
"Go and cut it out for me."
"emperor……"
Zhao Xi wants to say that you are sick, how can you eat cold food? But Emperor Sheng De glared away.
Concubine Fang Guifei and Concubine Chu Shu who were standing next to her wanted to speak, but they were not sure what Emperor Sheng De meant, so they could only stand on the side with disapproval.
However, Feng Xi nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Isn't that right? You can't be wrong if you listen to me."
Hearing this, Emperor Sheng De couldn't laugh or cry. He was so affected by this emotion that he coughed violently again.
Zhao Xi was very fast, and the snow pear was quickly cut into pieces and laid out in front of Emperor Sheng De.
In order to make it easier for the emperor and the princess, Zhao Xi deliberately cut the pieces into small pieces, fearing that the emperor would eat too much.
Emperor Shengde meant the same thing. He was happy to be cared for by his daughter, but he also considered his own body.
But what he didn't expect was that when he took the first piece of snow pear, he felt a lightness in his throat, and his whole body felt refreshed.
So under the worried and shocked eyes of Zhao Xi and others, Emperor Sheng De actually finished the whole pear.
And after eating, both my complexion and energy were much better than before, and even my coughing temporarily stopped.
Seeing this, the imperial doctor on the side immediately stepped forward to check his pulse, and his expression after doing so was also overjoyed.
"Although snow pear has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs, it does not have such an immediate effect. The important minister said that it must be Princess Renxiao who gave this snow pear the effect of a spiritual fruit!"
Seeing that the imperial doctor could not explain Xue Li using medicine, he jumped into metaphysics very skillfully. Feng Xi was also very convinced.
But it’s not wrong to say it’s metaphysics.
The pear was not what she took on the table at all, but when she turned her back to everyone, she put the original pear into the space and then picked it from the fruit tree in the space.
It's true to say it's a spiritual fruit, but it really has nothing to do with Xiao Xin, she just wants to finish the conversation and run away as soon as possible.
However, people in the palace never do useless work. Emperor Shengde was delighted after hearing what the imperial doctor said. He ordered Zhao Xi to reward him, and then asked Feng Xi:
"What reward does Xi'er want?"
Feng Xi tilted her head. She seemed to have everything, right? If she says she wants to go back to sleep, will her cheap dad agree?
Compared with Feng Xi's indifference, Concubine Fang Guifei and Concubine Chu Shu's eyes turned red when they heard this.
Although this disaster relief is a big event, no matter which of their sons goes, as long as they bring some capable ministers in the court, it will be fine.
In other words, Emperor Sheng De can actually choose no matter which side he chooses, he just needs a good reason to silence the loser.
Now, isn't this reason right in front of them?
Emperor Shengde had been suffering from a cough for more than a month, but was suddenly cured by Princess Zhaoming's filial piety. Emperor Shengde was delighted and praised this as a good sign from heaven, and granted Princess Zhaoming a reward.
In other words, as long as Feng Xi is willing to help them open this door, the other side will have nothing to say.
After all, this reward was obtained in exchange for healing the dragon body.
And the person whom Feng Xi pleads for will also be tainted with the word "good omen". Isn't it easy to gain fame and popular support?
So before Feng Xi could speak, Concubine Chu Shu on the side smiled and said:
"With such a huge reward, princess, it's better not to make a decision in a hurry. If you can't think of it, just go back and think about it carefully."
It was rare for Concubine Fang to stand with her and said:
"Sister Concubine Shu is right. Your Majesty's golden words are valid whenever you come to Xi'er to ask for help. Don't be impatient and think about it again."
Feng Xi nodded after hearing this. She didn't want anything anyway.
Seeing that Feng Xi was obedient, Fang and Chu's eyes lit up as all their gloom disappeared.
They are now hoping that Feng Xi will leave the palace quickly so that the people on their side can discuss and win over and implement the matter as soon as possible.
With such hope, they were eager to go back and prepare, no longer lingering in the imperial study room, and quickly said goodbye to Emperor Sheng De and Feng Xi.
It wasn't until the two figures disappeared outside the door that Emperor Shengde lowered his face and said to Zhao Xi:
"Pass the meal around."
On a snowy winter night, plates of exquisite imperial meals were brought to the dining table by the palace people.
The beauty of the country is fragrant, gold cannot be exchanged, jade is broken in three matches, flowers fall in the rain...
Although Feng Xi didn't understand, she was greatly shocked.
However, compared to these meals that claimed to take several hours and were made from various dishes of excellent quality, she still liked the simple and crude mutton pot the most.
"Zhao Ling, what do you think about the snow disaster in the North?"
After looking at his daughter who was quietly cooking meat, Emperor Shengde looked at Qi Xiao opposite.
Qi Xiao's nickname was Zhaoling, which was given to him by Emperor Shengde when he was born, but only his father and Emperor Shengde would call him that.
"It has been cold in the north for several years. According to Erchen's observation, this year's snowstorm is likely to be the worst since I was born. Therefore, if my father wants to provide disaster relief, in addition to sending capable ministers, the speed must also be fast."
Natural disasters are ruthless, and living people freeze to death every night.
Emperor Shengde frowned, and the word "Sichuan" between his eyebrows became more obvious.
"Then who do you think can take on this responsibility, the crown prince or the fourth prince?"
"The prince has the support of the Chief Assistant Fang, and the support of the powerful General's Office and the Minister of the Ministry of War. Not only can disaster relief be carried out, it is also a sure thing. Similarly, the four princes, mother and concubine come from the famous Chu family, and there are two ministers and a censor in the mansion. If you want to Disaster relief is not a difficult task. What my father wants to choose is not talent, but virtue. Unfortunately, in Zhao Ling's view, neither the prince nor the fourth prince may have the virtue you want."
Qi Xiao's words were so direct that even Zhao Xi, who was waiting nearby, couldn't help but frown.
But Emperor Shengde seemed to have listened, and said with some emotion:
"No wonder Yuan Ming always laments that you were born too late. You really are the most like him and understand me best."
Thinking of this, Emperor Shengde glanced at the meat-eating Feng Xi sadly and said:
"I sometimes wonder, if you were my son, how great would it be if Zhao Ming was your father's daughter? Do I still need to be in a dilemma here?"
Hearing this, Feng Xi, who was obviously disgusted, said:
"Can you two use your brains? This son can provide disaster relief, why can't he son-in-law?"
