There was a large table of children, crowded together, with eager eyes.
What's going on?
The prince frowned slightly.
A nun came forward and saluted.
"The old slave's surname is Qian. The emperor sent the old slave to teach the princess the rules and to temporarily control the servants in the palace."
Yue Rushuang...
Turns out it was for her.
"Mom, can we have dinner?"
Yue Rushuang asked.
This is someone close to the emperor, so it’s better to be nice to her.
Mammy said: "The expenses of the servants are all paid by the palace. The servants will deal with it themselves and don't have to worry about the princess."
Yue Rushuang took a look and saw a living envoy, two cashiers sent by the Ministry of Household Affairs, a nun, and from time to time the guards and secret guards who were responsible for taking notes...
The emperor is guarding his son as a spy.
Fine.
Yue Rushuang said politely: "Mom, I'm sorry."
Aunt Qian...
Before she came, the female officer next to the emperor told her what kind of person the princess was. After all, she was the first person in ancient and modern times who dared to slap her brother-in-law in front of the emperor.
Therefore, Grandma Qian knew that she had encountered a tough opponent.
Aunt Qian is the strictest and most stubborn nanny in the palace. When it comes to teaching rules, no one is afraid of her.
She also brought her ruler and thin bamboo strips.
She didn't believe it anymore, and there were rules she couldn't teach.
She thought that the princess would definitely not cooperate and would definitely give her a blow. She had already thought about how to keep a calm face and use the emperor to suppress her so that she would finally surrender to her.
Unexpectedly, this princess was different from the legend. She was gentle and soft-spoken.
A large round table was occupied by the children. The four of them, Yue Rushuang and Brother Zhao, sat at the same round table with several other princes.
Myolie put a plate of each dish in front of her master, and also gave everyone chicken soup and thick rice.
He, Wang Gonggong, and Hongying all sat together with the children.
The clerk from the Ministry of Revenue came over, holding a pen, and asked: "Princess, I want to record how much the chicken cost and how much the meat cost."
Yue Rushuang...
Here it comes.
"I caught the chicken on the mountain and snatched the meat from the bandits. The children can testify, and so can Eunuch Duoxi."
Prince...
What did I hear?
The bandits at home robbed the bandits outside?
The clerk at the Ministry of Finance looked at the meat. There were so many bowls and there was a large wooden basin on the children's table.
"How many chickens did you catch?"
Yue Rushuang...
So serious.
Yue Rushuang said: "It's just one. The feathers are still in the corner of the yard. Go and have a look."
"This chicken is very big and fat. Father Duoxi was so tired and sweating when he got it back."
What a joy...
Is that tiring?
That's scary.
He never dared to confront the Crown Princess again.
And that Xinger.
Does she like to hear noises?
The bandits were lying down and did not resist. She went up and broke their arms one by one.
Thinking of this, he nodded hurriedly.
"It's a big chicken, very big."
A clerk in the household department...
Even a goose doesn't have that much meat, does it?
But looking at the pile of chicken feathers, it was indeed only the feathers of one chicken, not much.
This pork is a bit too much, right?
After frying the bamboo shoots, there was more shredded pork than the bamboo shoots. The bright red and moist meat was in big chunks. Could it be that the bandit was shopping with half a pig in his hand?
The clerk in the household department was a little hesitant to write.
Xing'er said: "It's true. If you don't believe me, go and ask the bandits. It's easy to find them. Their arms have been broken."
A clerk in the household department...
Where can I find bandits?
Besides, that's the Ministry of Punishment's business.
Aunt Qian trembled after hearing this and looked at Xing'er.
"The girl was in the palace a few days ago?"
Xing'er nodded: "The arms of Aunt Xu and Aunt Ma were broken by slaves."
Aunt Qian...
My arm hurts!
The clerk from the household department stood awkwardly for a while and then asked, "Where are the eggs?"
Yue Rushuang said: "Some of them were brought by the children just now, and some were picked up on the mountain."
Where there is a chicken, there is an egg. It makes sense.
A child raised his hand and said: "My mother asked me to give you an egg!"
The clerk in the household department had no choice but to record it as Yue Rushuang said. It was both eggs and meat, but he didn't spend a penny.
Yue Rushuang asked Xing'er to give a portion to Duoxi and Grandma Qian. Xing'er thought it might not be enough, so she only got one portion of braised pork and one portion of cold vegetables.
Duoxi quickly recorded it in her notebook.
So much happened this morning that I almost ran out of notebooks.
Yue Rushuang deboned the chicken in her bowl and gave it to the prince.
Prince...
There are also the imperial brothers at this table.
The other princes and princesses were holding bowls of thick rice.
They were not allowed to eat it, and it was hard for them to say that they wanted to eat it, but the taste was so fragrant. Even in the palace, they had never eaten such fragrant food.
The second prince looked at Yue Rushuang, sometimes slicing meat for the prince, and sometimes wiping the prince's sweat. He didn't know why, but his heart was filled with panic.
The fourth prince picked up the bowl and said, "The emperor's sister-in-law is still great, why is she so lucky?"
Yue Rushuang: "No matter how lucky you are, you have to go out. Stay at home like a giant baby. No matter how lucky you are, you won't meet him."
Brother Zhao is very nervous. These are all people from the palace. His father has been the official all his life and has never had a meal with the county magistrate.
Yue Rushuang stood up and brought out two plates of sweet potatoes from the space.
A plate was placed on the children's table.
A plate was placed on his table.
"Brother Zhao, eat this. This is the high-yielding crop I talked about this morning."
Yue Rushuang took one and handed it to him.
"Peel and eat it. It's soft and sweet. It's easy to store when you're hungry. The most important thing is that it has a high yield."
"I heard that everyone doesn't have enough to eat. If we plant something with high yield like this, at least we can have enough to eat."
Zhao Sancheng took it fearfully and took a bite.
The fruit is really fragrant, sweet and soft, especially delicious.
"That's it, one acre of land can produce 800 kilograms?"
Yue Rushuang nodded: "Even more."
"It's just that I'm not very good at planting. I don't know if I can succeed in planting, and I don't dare to let you plant more. But at least I can plant a little. If I plant half an acre of land, I can keep my family full."
"There is also rice. I have a better variety. It was improved by a man named Yuan Longping. It has high yield and the rice tastes better than the current rice. But I don't know if it can be done with the fields and climate here. Let's see if anyone is willing. You can plant less."
Zhao San ate sweet potatoes and said, "I didn't expect that the Crown Princess still cares about whether we can eat or not?"
"I told the villagers later that they should plant more sweet potatoes and less rice. Don't start selling your sons and daughters as soon as spring comes."
Yue Rushuang said again: "I don't know how to farm. I will write down the general points, and you will have to record it with experienced farmers while planting. If it is good, people in Dajin will be able to plant in the future, and they will not have to go hungry." ”
Tang Rui also took a sweet potato and gave it to the third prince.
The relationship between the two is quite good now, unlike before when they always bickered.
That day, the third prince followed Tang Rui home and severely complained about Tang's concubine.
As a result, the mother-in-law said, please come back and take care of yourself.
The father-in-law said that if it weren't for the emperor's decree, he would never marry his daughter to him. If he was willing to write a letter of divorce, he would give him two horses.
The third prince fell back in anger.
His mother-in-law has no support, and his parents-in-law are not on his side either.
Before leaving, my father-in-law also said, my daughter, don't be wronged, do it when you need to do it, and your father will send you a maid who knows kung fu another day.
The third prince will be honest when he comes back.
You can't fight, you can't argue, and there's no one to back you up when you complain.
Simply surrendered.
