Chapter 188: The biggest stab in the back of the fourth elder brother and his wife
Xiao Yinzi raised his head tremblingly, found the source of the sound, and took a rough look.
Liang Jiugong said: "Xiao Yinzi, you have to look carefully."
Xiao Yinzi looked up for a moment: "Yes, the lower part of the food box is the same thing."
Liang Jiugong: "Why didn't you offer it?"
Xiao Yinzi kowtowed quickly: "Go back to Lord Long Live, the snacks added to the imperial kitchen may not always be able to enter the Qianqing Palace..."
Liang Jiugong: "Don't say such lies. Who asked you to make your own decision to intercept this thing and never come to retaliate?"
Xiao Yinzi: "Long live your life, Lord. There was a loud quarrel in the palace that day. I didn't dare to speak out for a while."
"By the time the report was made, the food had already gone cold. I would never dare to offer it. Then... I would be dead!"
The emperor shook his head: "No. It's just that the first two floors are cold, and there are species on the third floor. How did you deal with them?"
Xiao Yinzi: "Slave, slave..."
Liang Jiugong immediately shouted: "Tell me! Could it be that we have to wait until the Shenxing Department comes up with the solution before we can give an explanation?"
Xiao Yinzi: "I will tell you this. That day, I bumped into Brother Eighth and asked him... before returning the food box to the imperial kitchen."
The emperor's tiger-like eyes were directed at the young brothers' table.
The eighth elder brother immediately rushed out and knelt beside the fourth elder brother: "Khan Ama, please forgive me!"
The emperor couldn't hold back, and threw the handkerchief to Concubine Hui who was kneeling beside her: "Okay, you are good boys raised by Yanxi Palace. One or two... Concubine Hui, this is what you said you never said. Personally?"
"Let me tell you, how come you, the people in Yanxi Palace, know that the Fourth Prince and his wife have potatoes in their hands? It turns out that you are really ignorant."
"What? Brother eldest brother, brother 8, you are experimenting with new products, how is it? Can you still offer it to me?"
Due to the emperor's usual strength, the square veil scattered the hair on one side of Concubine Hui, damaging her makeup.
The eldest brother was a little confused now: "Eighth brother, when did you...?"
The emperor became even more angry: "What? Whenever something happens, can't you just blame it on your brother?"
"Yinbao, do you still have the semblance of being a big brother?"
The eldest brother is indeed innocent: "Khan Ama, I really don't know, otherwise why would I say so many stupid things today."
"You also know what you are saying is stupid?"
"Why do you two only focus on the good things about Yinzhen and the others?"
"Since you want it so much, fine. Whatever is produced in the fourth elder brother's house, including potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, as well as the white colored glaze that can be used as windows, Concubine Hui, the eldest elder brother and everyone from Yanxi Palace will be waiting for them from now on. No one is allowed to enjoy it.”
"If you want to install windows, just wait until the Department of Construction and others can do it."
The eldest brother thought to himself, don’t use it if you don’t need it, and he doesn’t care about the smooth glazed windows.
But it’s a pity that I can’t eat sweet potatoes.
Also...it doesn't matter.
Concubine Hui was secretly relieved. Fortunately, if this was the result, she could still accept it.
It's just a novelty, and I don't know how long it will last.
The emperor did not miss their lucky expressions and did not know for a while: "As for the Eighth Prince, I didn't expect that with your kind face and wide-ranging good relationships, you could actually influence the servants of my Qianqing Palace?"
These words are really too serious.
The eighth prince suddenly burst into tears. He could only lower his head and cry silently. He really didn't know how to defend himself.
The good concubine who was behind everyone covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound.
Even though the crowd was lively just now, under the pressure of the emperor, they did not dare to make any more noise for a while.
Lu Pheasant thought to himself, this was an unexpected surprise.
The emperor was made aware of the "evil and treacherous" nature of the eighth prince Yinhu in advance.
"Brother Imperial, I would like to say a word for the Eighth Prince."
The person who spoke was the emperor's most trusted brother, Prince Yu Fuquan.
He said: "On that day, my brother was actually present."
"My younger brother heard what the eighth prince said and observed his actions. He neither opened the food box nor gave any suggestions to the young eunuch. He only said that the young eunuch should act in accordance with the palace rules."
"I think the little eunuch followed the rules. The cold vegetables were returned, and the crops that had not been cooked were also returned."
"I just didn't know that it turned out to be such a good thing."
Lu Zhi thought again that Prince Yu Fuquan's admiration for the Eighth Prince had already been revealed so early.
Prince Qieyu's words made it appear that they had asked the imperial kitchen to deliver food boxes to Qianqing Palace, and that they had ulterior motives and were suspicious of shirk.
The emperor's face softened slightly: "Since Fuquan has spoken for you, I will not punish you today. Your handwriting is the weakest among all the princes. From now on, you must practice it strictly and not slack off."
Since a person has to spend time practicing calligraphy, he should talk less.
Among the princes, the fourth elder brother is not good at riding and shooting, and his arm strength is not obvious, but his handwriting is particularly good.
This also implies a comparison between the two.
The eighth prince knelt on the ground and thanked him for a long time.
It seems that Concubine Hui and the eldest brother didn't respond just now, as if they were disrespecting the emperor's kindness.
Look at the good concubine again, sitting in the back, wiping away tears.
Concubine Hui was impatient. This mother and son were really conspicuous.
Prince Yu Fuquan looked at Si Age and his wife, thought for a while and then said: "Si Age, I feel good eating sweet potatoes and potatoes. I don't know how to grow these things, and what is the yield? The seeds are easy to find, and they are very sensitive to soil, light, and moisture. Are the requirements strict?"
He asked many questions in succession, and Si Age was unable to answer them for a while.
"Could it be that Si Age wants to say that these things were all obtained by Si Fu Jin, so he can't answer them?"
Unexpectedly, today, the person who gave the Fourth Elder Brother and his wife the biggest blow behind their backs was actually the emperor's most capable brother.
Unexpectedly, they did not know when they offended the emperor's most trusted brother, Prince Yu Fuquan.
At this moment, of course Lu Pheasant had to step forward and answer: "Your Majesty is extremely intelligent, as you said. Fourth Brother cannot answer these questions for the time being."
"Forgive me Khan, my daughter-in-law can't answer most of the prince's questions."
"My daughter-in-law's ability to make shredded sweet potatoes, potato salad and French fries is due to the exquisite skills and understanding of the royal chefs."
"As for how to breed these ugly-looking potatoes, sweet potatoes and corns, when to germinate and fertilize, whether they can be interplanted, whether they like light, and whether they can withstand cold, my daughter-in-law has no idea."
"But there is one thing that my daughter-in-law can still answer. According to reports from the tenant farmers of Tong'an Huangzhuang, corn is suitable for the warm south, followed by sweet potatoes, and potatoes are the most adaptable."
"However, corn is the most temperature-loving. According to current general yield calculations, the yield per mu is at least twice that of grains."
The emperor's original calm expression was broken, and he said in shock: "What did you say? The yield per mu is several times higher?"
