Save the Bachelor of Heaven

In July, Xiang Nan issued an order to waive the 360,000 taels of silver that Jiangnan had owed for more than 20 years, as well as more than 90,000 kilograms of rice, wheat, beans and other grains.

The so-called Cao Yin means that because of the inconvenience of transporting grain, it was converted into cash and transported to the capital. Arrears accumulate almost every year. From the end of Kangxi to the present, more than 20 years ago, the amount has accumulated to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

However, it is really difficult to recover this money, and it will also become an excuse for officials to exploit the people, so it is better to exempt it.

This order was sent to the south of the Yangtze River, and the people of the south of the Yangtze River were once again grateful and expressed their gratitude.

…

Xiang Nan not only punished corrupt officials and benefited the people in the previous dynasty, but also paid great attention to the harem. No matter how busy he was every day, he would turn over the cards or go around the palaces.

Especially the Changchun Palace where the pregnant Lang Hua lived, he would go there almost every day to check out her diet and medicines to prevent anyone from plotting against the emperor's heir.

You must know that for the concubines in the harem, the queen has the eldest son and the second son. If they don't fight for the noble son, their future will be really hopeless, so it is inevitable that some people will jump over the wall in a hurry.

Of course, Xiang Nan was afraid of Jin Yuyan.

His eight current concubines, Ruyi, Hailan, Wanyin, Zhuying, and Luyun, are not aggressive at all. They all have relatively gentle and gentle personalities. They advocate that people will not offend me, and I will not offend others. Do not harm others. Yes, you must be on guard against others.

And even if Gao Xiyue wanted to harm others, she had no brains. What's more important is that she has always been on the same side as the queen and does not dare to have any ideas against the emperor's heir.

Only Jin Yuyan has the scheming and the courage. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find anything to do with her for the time being, and she looked just like Miss Hong, Xiang Nan couldn't bear to kill her secretly, and would have killed her secretly.

…

"Is this the dregs of the medicine that was brewed today?" Xiang Nan asked, carefully examining the leftover dregs of medicine that Lang Hua drank.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Lian nodded.

"Well, is this lunch?" Xiang Nan looked at the food again and asked.

Ever since Lang Hua's wedding, she had to leave a little of her daily meals and decoctions for Xiang Nan to check.

Langya was naturally moved by this.

"Yes." Su Lian said again.

Xiang Nan nodded, plucked the chopsticks a few times, and suddenly frowned, "Who asked the imperial kitchen to cook food?"

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?" Su Lian was startled when he heard this and asked quickly.

"Of course it's inappropriate. Soft-shell turtle and amaranth, lamb liver and bamboo shoots, Ophiopogon japonicus and crucian carp cannot be eaten together. Although these foods are not poisonous on their own, they can easily accumulate poison when eaten together." Xiang Nan explained, "Who is it? This kind of meal is arranged?”

He is proficient in medical skills and knows that some foods are originally non-toxic, but when mixed together, they will become toxic. It doesn't show up in the early stage, but over time, it will damage the body.

But turtle and amaranth, lamb liver and bamboo shoots, Ophiopogon japonicus and crucian carp are just the same, so they cannot be eaten together.

"Concubine Hui said that eating soft-shell turtle can nourish the body, and Concubine Zhe said that eating lamb liver can improve eyesight, so I ordered the kitchen to make it specially. The amaranth dumplings were packed and delivered by the noble nobleman, and the bamboo shoots were a new tribute from Jiangnan. Come, Concubine Xian specially ordered the best ones to be delivered. The crucian carp soup was cooked by Concubine Wan, and the Ophiopogon japonicus tea was presented by Concubine Yu..." Su Lian explained quickly.

Xiang Nan frowned after hearing this.

He had a total of eight concubines, six of whom were involved, leaving only Jia Gui Jin Yuyan to stay out of the matter. What a coincidence. What a coincidence.

"The Queen's food is very important. The fewer people who handle it, the better. We don't need them to deliver food in the future." Xiang Nan ordered, "Otherwise, even if they have good intentions, they will inevitably be taken advantage of."

"What the emperor means..." Su Lian couldn't help but feel confused when he heard that there was something in Xiang Nan's words.

"I don't mean anything. Don't tell the queen about this, lest she think about it during pregnancy." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Okay, I'll go see the queen."

"Yes." Su Lian nodded.

…

Xiang Nan then went to see Lang Hua and felt her pulse.

Fortunately, it was her first time eating today and she was fine.

Xiang Nan also chatted with her and told her that if she was idle and bored, she could read "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames", "Thousand Character Essay", "Three Hundred Tang Poems" to her son.

"He's still in the stomach, can you hear him?" Lang Hua asked doubtfully.

"Of course." Xiang Nan nodded, "The fetus will already have hearing when it is six months old."

"How does the emperor know?" Lang Hua asked in surprise.

"I know this from reading medical books." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Anyway, just trust me."

"Yeah." Langhua nodded.

"By the way, Yong Huang and Yong Zhang don't look too good. I asked them about their homework. Do you want them to get up at five o'clock to study, and don't let them rest at ten o'clock at night?" Xiang Nan asked again.

When Langya heard this, she was quite embarrassed and quickly explained, "I also hope that they will become talented as soon as possible so that they can share your worries with the emperor as soon as possible."

In order for her son not to be compared with Yongqi, Yongzhen, and Yongheng, she always urged them to study hard.

For this reason, they would wake them up at five o'clock in the morning, and they would have to read and write until ten o'clock in the evening before they were allowed to sleep.

As a result, the two children only have seven hours of sleep a day at most.

"You are so confused!" Xiang Nan couldn't help but reprimanded, "The reason why I set school time at seven o'clock and let my brothers stay in the palace is to ensure their rest and health.

You don't even let them get enough sleep, which makes them look so bad, they all look like sickly people. Can such a brother grow up? What kind of talent can he become when he grows up?

If you continue to be so eager for quick success, I will send Yonghuang and Yongzhang to Shoukang Palace and hand them over to the concubines to raise them. "

"No, Your Majesty, I made a mistake." Upon hearing this, Lang Hua immediately begged for mercy.

If Yong Huang and Yong Zhang were left to be raised by the concubines, she would be extremely distressed.

Although the concubines would definitely take good care of the two princes, how could she let them go as mother and son were connected to each other.

“Lang Hua, I know you want to be strong and want both Yong Huang and Yong Zhang to stand out, but you have forgotten the saying ‘Haste makes waste’.

Children are now growing up, and their ability to grow up healthily is the top priority. Otherwise, how can everyone who is sick and weak inherit my rule? Xiang Nan said again.

"Yes, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again." Lang Hua quickly admitted her mistake.

Xiang Nan nodded.

Don't blame him for being angry. In the play, it was because Lang Hua forced Yong Lian to study hard that he suffered from asthma at a young age.

In ancient times, once you got this disease, there was basically no cure, and you became a sick person. And a prince with such a physique is naturally not suitable to inherit the throne. It is tantamount to say that Lang Hua was eager for quick success and ruined his own son.

That's why Xiang Nan asked her to be lenient to her child, otherwise, even if he could cure the asthma, it would be very troublesome.
