Chapter 72

Soon a eunuch came back from the palace with Hong Ling, and brought along the emperor's command to let Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu enter the palace together.

So Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu ordered Hong Ling to pack a basket of sweet potatoes for them to take with them after they had almost finished eating, and they entered the palace together.

As expected, the emperor was dining in the imperial concubine Qing's palace, and Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu went directly to the Summer Palace: "My son/daughter-in-law, I have met my father and my mother."

The emperor quickly called the two to get up: "Hurry up, I called you here just to ask, what is this? I haven't eaten it before."

Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu looked at each other, Qian Jiujiu lowered his head, and Mu Yexiao answered, "Father, this thing is called sweet potato, and it's a kind of food that Jiu'er found on the mountain."

The emperor let out a sigh: "So that's the case, do you have any plans? Or just send it in for us to try something new?"

Mu Yexiao spoke again: "Father, Jiu'er is going to plant these sweet potatoes. The harvest of these sweet potatoes is already very good in the environment of the mountains. If they are planted in the land instead."

"Maybe we will have another kind of food in Dazhou, and this time all the mountains on the mountain add up to less than one mu of land, and it is already a thousand catties."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then became ecstatic: "Is this a good statement? But do you know how to do it?"

This time, Mu Yexiao didn't speak anymore, and it was Qian Jiujiu who said, "Father, my daughter-in-law actually planted this thing. You know that my daughter-in-law grew up in a village in the suburbs."

"When the father ran out of money, the daughter-in-law would also go up the mountain to dig for food. In fact, this daughter-in-law had grown sweet potatoes in the mountain two years ago. When there was nothing to eat, she would dig."

Of course, this is not a lie, because the original body Qian Jiujiu lived this kind of life, and she also hid some things in the mountains, but what, she is not allowed to say now.

When Mu Yexiao heard these words, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes, and he swore in his heart that he would never let Qian Jiujiu live such a life in the future.

After hearing this, the emperor also sighed. Although he didn't say anything on the face, he hated Qian Shangshu even more, and looked at Qian Jiujiu.

"Since you know how to grow it, princess, I will leave this to you. Make some more varieties and promote them."

Qian Jiujiu immediately took orders: "My daughter-in-law takes orders."

Only then did the emperor wave his hand: "Okay, it's getting late, and the palace gate will be closed later, you go back first."

Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao resigned together and went out from the palace. As a result, the next day, the whole capital knew that Princess Xiao had discovered a new kind of grain on the mountain.

The yield per mu of this kind of grain is very high, which can reach a thousand catties. At this time Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao were sitting in the room, Qian Jiujiu stared at Mu Yexiao: "Mu Yexiao, who do you think spread the news?"

Mu Yexiao shook his head: "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter clearly."

Qian Jiujiu snorted: "You said that I do one thing, why do people come out to make trouble?"

Mu Yexiao raised his eyebrows: "Isn't this a good thing to help you make your name? Why do you think it's asking for trouble for you?"

Glancing at Mu Yexiao, Qian Jiujiu rolled his eyes: "How many seeds do you think I have in hand? How many people in Kyoto want to plant them? At least it won't be able to be promoted until next year."

"But now that someone has started it, do you think it's really giving me a name?"

Mu Yexiao also thought of this question: "Well, don't we plan to plant it on our own village? Then take a part of that and give it to several villages for trial planting, and then gradually promote it."

Qian Jiujiu nodded, and glanced at Mu Yexiao: "I have some doubts, did you release this news."

Mu Yexiao immediately raised his hand and made an oath: "I swear it's not me."

In fact, Qian Jiujiu also knew that it wouldn't be Mu Yexiao, she was just talking, and glanced at Mu Yexiao: "That's unnecessary, you probably don't know, sweet potatoes can be transplanted."

"Forget it, let me tell you that you don't understand either. By the way, why didn't I see Nanny Wan today? I'm looking for someone. Don't follow me. Why are you so free?"

"Dangling in front of my eyes all day long."

After disliking Mu Yexiao, Qian Jiujiu realized that she hadn't seen Nanny Wan today, and looked at Qinglian: "Qinglian, where is Nanny Wan?"

"Going back to the princess, Mammy went to the shop and said she was going to have a look. She went out in the morning."

Qian Jiujiu said, "No wonder I didn't see it today. By the way, who went out with her?"

Qinglian glanced at Qian Jiujiu: "Nurse Wan went out alone, originally Qingyu said she would follow her, but Nanny Wan insisted not."

Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes, unexpectedly went out alone, for some reason, Qian Jiujiu always felt a little worried in her heart, since she was fine anyway, she looked at Qinglian.

"Then let's go out for a while. The store is open, and I haven't been in it once."

Qinglian made some preparations, called Hongling, and went out with Qian Jiujiu. When the three of them entered the shop, it was almost closing time.

Seeing Qian Jiujiu coming, Yue Niang was a little surprised, and immediately greeted her: "I have seen Wang Hao, why is Wang Hao coming here today?"

Qian Jiujiu smiled: "Get up, you don't need to be too polite, I'm bored staying in the mansion, come and have a look, how is business today?"

While talking, Qian Jiujiu was satisfied with seeing a lot of people coming in and out of the store, Yueniang led the way and took Qian Jiujiu to the private room upstairs.

"Today's business is similar to yesterday's. It just opened, and the heat hasn't gone yet! It's just that there are fewer people in the palace today to buy beauty products."

Qian Jiujiu didn't see Nanny Wan all the way, so she was a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that Nanny is here? Why didn't I see it?"

Mother? Yueniang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Wangfei is talking about Nanny Wan? Yes, she came here in the morning, but at noon, she went back to the palace."

Qian Jiujiu stood up from the chair all of a sudden: "What did you say? Nanny Wan returned to the palace at noon? But there is no one in the palace?"

Hearing this, Yueniang didn't think much about it, after all, a nun next to the princess, who would be disadvantageous to her. Just looking at the tension on Qian Jiujiu's face.

Also, Qinglian and Hongling's expressions changed drastically, Yueniang also felt that something was wrong, and looked at Wangfei: "Wangfei, this..."

However, Qian Jiujiu directly ignored Yueniang: "Hongling, go back to the mansion immediately, and send someone to look for me. We must find Nanny Wan."

Hong Ling replied, then turned around and left, even using lightness kung fu to hurry on. At this moment, Yueniang finally understood, it seemed that she underestimated the identity of this Nanny Wan.

Qian Jiujiu glanced at Yueniang: "Yueniang, just take care of things in the store, Qinglian, let's go back first."

As he said that, he took Qinglian and walked towards the palace quickly. Just when he returned to the gate of the palace, he saw a little beggar wandering around the gate of the palace.

When he saw Qian Jiujiu, the little beggar rushed out: "Are you from this palace? I have a letter here, which I want to deliver to the princess of the palace. Can you help me?"

Qian Jiujiu glanced at the little beggar, then stretched out his hand to take the letter, and opened it directly. The little beggar was depressed: "Only the princess can read this letter."

Qinglian looked at the little beggar: "This is the princess of our palace."

Hearing this, the little beggar looked at Qian Jiujiu with sparkling eyes: "Are you really the princess? Let me hand over this letter to your sister."

"Will you give me money if I hand you this letter? Will you?"

Qian Jiujiu looked at the little beggar: "Do you want silver? Then do me a favor, tell me about the sister who asked you to deliver the letter, and I will give you ten taels of silver."

The little beggar's eyes sparkled suddenly: "Does the princess keep her word?"

Qian Jiujiu nodded: "That's natural, I'm the princess, of course I keep my word, Qinglian, take him to find a painter."

After talking about Qian Jiujiu, he looked at the letter again. The content of the letter was very short: "I want to see your mother, you can only come to Shili Pavilion outside the city."

Qian Jiujiu snorted coldly, she wasn't stupid, she was so obviously aimed at her, and she still went alone, could it be that she was going to die? More importantly, she couldn't find where Shili Pavilion was at all.

Walking all the way into the palace, looking at Mu Yexiao: "Mu Yexiao, tell me where is Shili Pavilion?"

Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu: "I just told you, do you think you can find it alone? Hong Ling has already come back and said, I know about the disappearance of my mother-in-law."

"Don't worry, I will try my best to find it. I have sent people to the yamen with my post, and asked the people in the yamen to set up defenses at the gates of each city."

"And the portrait of the mother-in-law will be distributed soon, and I will definitely be able to find it soon."

But Qian Jiujiu shook his head: "No, what if the other party sees that I don't go to Shiliting, which is not good for my mother, what should I do? Shiliting, I have to go, at worst, I will let Hongling lead me the way."

"You follow behind quietly, so that you can easily rescue me. By the way, I have something for you. This is a medicine powder that can emit light at night."

"If you lose track of me at that time, you can find this medicine powder and follow me."

Mu Yexiao originally didn't want to agree, but looking at Qian Jiujiu's appearance, he had already made up his mind, and he couldn't stop it at all.

"Well, you must be careful."

Qian Jiujiu nodded: "I will be careful, don't worry, Hongling is here!"

At this time, Hong Ling walked out quickly: "Princess, I'm here, let's go."

The two of them headed towards the Shili Pavilion outside the city, and Hong Ling glanced at Qian Jiujiu vaguely.
