It has been two hours since Emperor Yongming returned to Jingyou Palace. Your descendant, Qi You, has rested. Emperor Yongming looked at the face of the queen who was not sleeping peacefully for a while at the bedside, and the pride in his heart once again turned into a deep worry. After tucking the quilt for the queen, Emperor Yongming put something next to his pillow and left softly.

The next day just after dawn, the queen woke up. Abdominal pain made it difficult for him to fall asleep. He had to use incense to help him sleep for two or three hours every night. As soon as he woke up, Eunuch Zhuo, who was serving him, immediately opened the bed tent, brought a glass of water, helped him up and waited for him to drink.

The side was empty, and the queen asked, "Where's the emperor? The court today?"

Eunuch Zhuo helped the queen lie down and replied, "The emperor came back last night to see that Chitose had fallen asleep, so he went back to the bedroom to rest, not wanting to wake Chitose. The emperor also gave Chitose a gift."

Following Eunuch Zhuo's hand, the Queen looked towards the pillow, and Eunuch Zhuo took it with both hands and handed it over. The Queen took it, rubbed her fingers a few times, and raised her eyes: "But the emerald stone?"

Eunuch Zhuo said with a smile, "It's still Chitose with sharp eyes. When the emperor left, the servant saw that there was also one hanging on the emperor's waist. It's a pair with you, Chitose."

The queen smiled and gave it to Eunuch Zhuo: "I will wear this jade pendant in the future."

"Yes."

Usually, the first, fifteenth and last day of the month will be worshipped, and there will be one day off every six days. If there is a major matter that needs to be discussed, the emperor's internal officials will notify the ministers one day in advance to go to court. During the rest of the time, the emperor handles government affairs in the East Palace and accepts ministers who enter the palace to face the holy. When the memorial is corrected or the minister of publicity enters the palace, the emperor will be in the imperial study, and when the weather is cold, it will be in the warm pavilion. When the ministers did not go to court, they either went to the palace to report to the emperor and reported matters; or they sat in the yamen where they were.

Dai Qiyou had abdominal pain, and Emperor Yongming had no intention of working. After going around the cabinet, he went to Jingyou Palace. Dai Qiyou just got up to eat breakfast. He woke up just now. Because his body was really uncomfortable, he had been lying down and resting. Dai Qiyou's complexion was very pale, as soon as he saw him, Emperor Yongming's heart became a lot heavier.

"emperor."

"Don't get up."

Emperor Yongming walked quickly to the queen and held him down, preventing him from getting up, and then sat down beside him. Dai Qiyou smiled and said, "I have pumpkin and millet porridge here. Would you like a bowl for the emperor?"

"Okay."

Dai Qiyou glanced at the jade pendant that Emperor Yongming hung on his waist and he was obviously a pair, and reached out to hold it. There are jade pendants of different sizes on the jade pendant. The transparent places on the jade are like water, and the green places are like green leaves floating in the water. If Shao Yun'an was there, he would explain that it was a green jade pendant with floating flowers from the ice glutinous species, but he said that it was obtained by Wang Shijing. Therefore, it is always jadeite, and how others will identify it is not his concern.

Emperor Yongming picked up the empress' jade pendant and said, "This is brought by Cen Yuebai, you and I are a pair." After speaking, he picked up his own pendant from the empress' hand, and he was with Jun. The latter piece is spliced ​​together, and one side of the upper and lower jade pendants can fit together completely.

"In the entire Dayan, I am afraid there is only this pair of such unique jade pendants, and I will wear them in the future."

"I also wear it."

The queen raised her head and looked at Emperor Yongming's eyes full of nostalgia. Emperor Yongming grimaced and hugged Dai Qiyou hard, speechless. Dai Qiyou hugged Emperor Yongming: "Your Majesty, this minister will always accompany you, your Majesty, don't worry."

"Qi You, what you promised me, you can't break your promise."

"Well, I promise you."

Eunuch Zhuo turned to wipe away his tears. In a place that Emperor Yongming and Eunuch Zhuo did not see, the queen clenched her jaw abruptly, which seemed to be very painful.

"Qi You, I want to tell you something very good."

The queen immediately returned to her normal expression and let go of Emperor Yongming. Emperor Yongming glanced at Eunuch Zhuo, Eunuch Zhuo immediately signaled the attendants to step down, and he also withdrew.

With no outsiders left, Emperor Yongming said in a low voice, "Yesterday, the emperor and Cen Yuebai brought me the same precious gift and a major event that is related to the prosperity of Dayan for a hundred years."

The Queen immediately asked in surprise: "What gift is it, what is it?"

Emperor Yongming said: "The emperor brought more than 20 books, but they have never appeared in the world, and there are many words on them that I don't know."

The Queen asked anxiously, "How did these books come from?"

Emperor Yongming smiled, with a bit of suddenness and joy: "It was presented by the 'that' strange person." When he said that, he picked up the jade pendant of the queen. The Queen was surprised, Emperor Yongming explained it in detail, and then in the shock of the Queen, he said: "I wanted to ask him to come to Beijing to assist me, but the emperor and Cen Yuebai stopped me. They said that the man's heart was not in the court. Tang, I just want to do his 'small' business, if I call him to Beijing, it will push him to the forefront of the court. Moreover, what that person has done so far is helping me, I don't have to force him It makes sense for me to think about whether I'm here or not."

The queen said: "The emperor and Cen Yuebai are right. From the outsiders' point of view, he is someone who can brew wine, make tea, and make novel things. But if the emperor lets him enter the court, it will be different. Although that man is not in the court, he has drawn up a grand plan for the economic development of the country of Yan for the emperor, and now he has presented a peerless book to the emperor. This is to assist the emperor. The emperor Hongfu, such a strange person is willing to serve the emperor, and is willing to help the emperor to revive Yan The great cause of the country," Qi You, the descendant of the king, stood up, knelt down, and kowtowed, "The emperor is destined to return, and there are strange people to help, I will be happy in Dayan!"

Emperor Yongming hurriedly helped the queen up and hugged him, his voice hoarse: "I never ask for any destiny, I only ask for the health of my queen. I hope that the strange man can cure my king. back."

Dai Qiyou tried his best to swallow his sadness and showed a smile: "Chen, I will always be with the emperor."

Not wanting the atmosphere to be too uncomfortable, and not wanting to cause Qi You's body to be affected more, Emperor Yongming helped Qi You sit down and said, "By the way, there is another meaning for that person to give the jade pendant. He wants me and the Queen to wear this jade pendant. The jadeite jade pendant should make a publicity for the jewelry shop first, and it must be widely advertised. This jadeite stone is rare, I listened to Cen Yuebai's meaning, and I will auction it at the auction house in the future. With the advance promotion of me and the queen, the price will be higher Very high."

The queen looked at Emperor Yongming and laughed. Emperor Yongming was puzzled. The queen said, "The minister of the jewelry store heard An Ze mention it. But looking at the man's words and deeds, he believed that the emperor was Mingjun."

Emperor Yongming was still puzzled: "How do you say this?"

The queen said: "The emerald stone is rare, but that person dared to ask the emperor to advertise the emerald stone. This is obviously not worried that the emperor will ask him to hand over all the emerald stones in his hands. Not only this emerald stone, he is in the tea He Jiu Shang didn't avoid the emperor, if he hadn't identified the emperor as Ming Jun, how could he dare to be so obvious."

After the queen said this, Emperor Yongming was embarrassed. He hugged the queen and laughed: "It doesn't matter if he thinks that I am the king, but the queen thinks that I am definitely the king."

The queen was laughed at by Emperor Yongming.

"Your Majesty, didn't Guangnan Prefecture pay tribute to a lot of grapefruit? That person seems to be very concerned about eating. Why don't you give him some grapefruit."

Emperor Yongming said: "It seems too shabby for him to only reward him with grapefruit for such a treasure."

The queen said: "Gold and silver jewelry, the minister doesn't really care about it, otherwise he would not open his mouth and donate more than 3,000 taels of gold. He also returned the 5,000 taels of silver that the minister gave him last time. He also said If you say 'don't be a slave of money', the emperor might as well reward him with something rare and something he likes. The emperor can look at the tributes that various prefectures and vassal countries pay during the Chinese New Year, and choose some rare ones for him."

Emperor Yongming nodded, feeling that what the Empress said had some truth, he said again: "Isn't his husband's family very evil? How about I give him a title, so that he can manipulate people?"

But the queen shook her head and said, "They are now Cen Yuebai's adopted sons and Jiang Kangning's righteous younger brothers. No one dares to bully them in Yongxiu County. Family members do evil, blood relatives, and they are afraid that they will cause more trouble if they have titles. And the emperor gave them the title, how do you say it to the outside world? Others don't know his strangeness, so they must study the reasons carefully, and it may not be a good thing for them. I remember that his husband's family has a younger brother who seems to be a scholar. In the examination of merit, it is better for the emperor to send someone to inform the examiner of the Nanfu, no matter what the test is, he will not be admitted."

"Well, that's okay. The examiners of the various governments should be decided soon, and I will let the imperial teacher do it. But Cen Yuebai should not write him a 'recommendation letter'."

The Queen said: "Cen Yuebai is the adoptive father of those two people, and the family is used to making troubles. Even if they have the deed in hand, how can they really break it cleanly. The letter of recommendation should be written by Cen, so as to avoid them being in trouble. Do."

"Okay, I will go and tell the emperor. You ask Zhuo Jin to choose some suitable rewards, I..." After thinking about it, Emperor Yongming said, "I asked Cen Yuebai to give them to them, otherwise I will directly reward them, I am afraid I will give them again. cause trouble."

The queen smiled: "The emperor is holy."

Before the Qingming Festival, the entire Yongxiu County was busy, and this busyness also brought a bustling scene that had disappeared in Yongxiu County for many years.

Although he was kidnapped and beaten, he still has to be busy. The next day, Shao Yunan went up the mountain with Wang Shijing with a half swollen face.

Guo Ziyu wanted to follow, and Shao Yunan asked, "You follow, who is watching over the tea factory?"

Guo Ziyu could only retreat.

Guo Zimu wanted to follow, and Shao Yunan asked, "Follow you, who makes the dim sum in the dim sum restaurant?"

Guo Zimu could only retreat.

Aunt Zhou wanted to follow, and Shao Yunan asked, "You follow, who is going to the bureau today?"

Aunt Zhou could only retreat.

Just as Uncle Zhou was about to speak, Shao Yunan asked, "Everyone in the family has something to do today. You go with you. Who will do your business?"

Before the others could speak, they could only retreat with Uncle Zhou.

Yan Fusheng: "Little Master, I'll go with you."

Shao Yunan: "Brother Da Guo is not at home, you go, no one can call the shots at home. And someone wants to bring tea today, you and Mother Qin have to help me watch."

Yan Fusheng: "..." He took two steps back. Qin Niang took her foot back.

Dai Jiang and Jiang Kangning both sent people to protect Shao Yunan's safety, Yan Fusheng said: "If we don't follow, then you and the master have to bring guards."

Shao Yunan: "No, I don't know any of them, it's awkward. Brother Xi doesn't like strangers following either."

Wang Qing, who received his little father's eyes, lowered his head slightly: "I don't like it either."

After he said this, Jiang Moxi said, "I don't like it!"

Yan Fusheng was defeated again.

In this way, Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing's family, who had arranged the tea collection, put the basket on their backs and went up the mountain. Most of the tea-making factories in Yongxiu County will take away most of the tea, and Shao Yunan will take the rest here. The people who received tea for him last year are still picking up tea for him this year. Jiang Kangning issued a document in the name of the county government, and the tea factory received tea at a price ranging from per kilogram according to the quality of the tea. This matter was announced a month ago, and Shao Yunan was also contacted for this. What Shao Yunan meant was that the villagers in Xiushui Village would give some to the tea maker, so as not to be told that no one in Xiushui Village would deliver tea, but all the good tea received should be handed over to him. In fact, the special and first-class tea received by the tea factory will also be secretly delivered to Shao Yunan.

And all the Qimen black tea in Yongxiu County, Shao Yunan, was rudely pocketed all of them. Wang Shijing surveyed the entire Yongxiu County and found that there are only 24 ancient Qimen black tea trees in Yongxiu County, which is too small compared to the hundreds of ancient Longjing tea trees. Shao Yunan must not let others waste it. This is also the most profitable tea he planned this year. Tang Genshu, who has been following Wang Shijing to investigate the distribution of tea trees, is in charge of the tea harvesting at Wang's house, while Wang Shijing is in charge of picking Qimen black tea. So tomorrow, Shao Yunan will go out with Wang Shijing for several days.
