After wearing the book, the Buddhist imperial concubine has spoiled again

Chapter 193 Surprise and Surprise

Hearing this, both Jiang Shishi and Chun Xing were surprised.

In their eyes, the crown prince is a busy man, so he can remember the birthday of Liang Di?

Surprised, Jiang Shishi followed Huang Dechang to the front yard.

When they reached the gate of the front yard, Chun Xing helped her sweep the snow off her shoulders, and took off her cape.

Standing at the door, Jiang Shishi could smell the aroma of food.

When she entered the hall, she saw a table full of delicious food on the Eight Immortals table in the hall.

And the prince was sitting beside him, as if waiting for her.

"Your Highness." Jiang Shishi saluted.

Pei Xuanling supported the woman, and pulled her to sit down at the table.

Jiang Shishi glanced at the food on the table, all of them were her favorites, and they had a wide range of dishes.

For example, there are court delicacies such as braised tenderloin with the word blessing, spicy tripe shreds with the word Wan, golden silk crispy sparrow, skewered fried senbei, and fried beef tenderloin with green onions.

There are also later delicacies such as spicy grilled fish, chicken feet with pickled peppers, and hot and sour frogs.

There is even a stewed big bone soup with salt and pepper prawns and lotus root that Jiang Shishi is going to make in the Imperial Dining Room tonight.

Jiang Shishi looked at the prince with surprise and amazement.

How would he know what she likes to eat?
"Your Highness, I just told Chun Xing that I want to eat lotus root stewed bone soup and salt and pepper prawns tonight. Why did you ask someone to make these?"

"Didn't you always like to eat salt and pepper prawns?" Pei Xuanling often eats at Shiyue Pavilion, so he knows her preferences somewhat, "Besides, it's been cold recently, so I heard that you like to drink soup to warm your body every day."

"You know all of this." Jiang Shishi smiled, and then asked: "Hey, do the servants in your yard also cook grilled fish and chicken feet with pickled peppers?"

Huang Dechang: "Jiang Liangdi doesn't know something. The servants in the front yard once went to Shiyue Pavilion to cook and learned a few dishes from Miss Chunxing."

Jiang Shishi nodded, that's why.

Jiang Shishi enjoyed the dinner that night.

Seeing the woman on the opposite side eating happily, Pei Xuanling also took in more food than usual.

Half an hour later, Pei Xuanling still put down the bowl and chopsticks first, and gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

And the woman opposite him had to eat for more than half an hour before she was willing to put down the dishes.

Jiang Shishi wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "Your Highness, tonight's meal is so delicious, I feel full, but my mouth still wants to eat."

"." Pei Xuanling's mouth twitched slightly, "It's not good to eat too much at night."

It was inevitable that the women would be overwhelmed, so Pei Xuanling summoned the maids and eunuchs to clean up the table and took away all the food.

It's cold outside now, so I can't go for a walk outside to digest food.

After Pei Xuanling had dinner, he went to the study to review official documents.

Jiang Shishi can only sit aside and help the prince grind, which can be regarded as a way to digest food.

She frowned slightly when she saw the crown prince reviewing official documents, and she couldn't help asking: "Is there anything bothering you, Your Highness?"

Pei Xuanling told the woman that the war in the west was tight, the soldiers had no food to eat, and the Ministry of Industry planned to garrison the fields.

Jiang Shishi: "."

She heard that the prince took over the Ministry of Industry recently, and farming should be an important task for the prince after he took over the Ministry of Industry.

In addition, she thought of her second brother Jiang Yongjie who fought at the western border.

It's freezing cold now, Jiang Yongjie not only has to fight, but also can't eat enough, what a pain.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shishi's face wrinkled together.

She stopped grinding, asked the prince for a Langhao brush and some rice paper, and started to write and draw.

After about a stick of incense, she drew patterns and wrote words on each piece of paper.

After the painting was finished, she put down the Langhao brush, checked it carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, she handed the rice paper to the prince.

Pei Xuanling glanced at the rice paper handed over by the woman. There were pictures and words written on it, like a craftsman's draft.

After taking over the handicraft department recently, he has seen many such drawings.

Pei Xuanling: "What are you drawing?"

"My concubine's paintings are all drawings of farm tools." Jiang Shishi put the drawings in front of the prince, "Just now I heard from His Highness that the soldiers in the west are short of food, and I feel that they are pitiful, and my second brother, he is also good. pitiful."

"Gu tells you about troublesome things in official business, but you feel pitiful for others?"

Facing the prince's soul torture, Jiang Shishi was slightly taken aback, "And you, Your Highness, are too busy with paperwork every day, and have endless troubles, which is also pitiful."

"I don't need you to be pitiful." Pei Xuanling lowered his eyes and looked at the few sketches.

"." Jiang Shishi saw that the prince's face was not right, so she changed her words in time, "You are not pitiful, but seeing you are so tired, my heart is very distressed. I can't help you with matters in the court."

"I heard that you are going to let the west farm the fields. I know a few agricultural tools that are beneficial to agriculture. You can ask the Ministry of Industry to try to make some."

"." Pei Xuanling was fascinated by the artwork.

Jiang Liangdi drew a total of three drawings, one is a keel waterwheel.

Its structure is to take the wooden board as the groove, the tail is immersed in the water flow, and there is a small axle.

There is also a small axle at the other end, which is fixed on the wooden frame on the embankment.

When in use, step on the crutches to rotate the big wheel shaft, drive the blades in the groove to scrape water up, and pour water into the fields with higher terrain.

And it has three structures, it can use running water as power to turn the keel cart, it can also use human or animal power to drive the wooden chain to turn over and over again, and it can also use wind to turn the cart.

If there is such a water wheel, the irrigation and drainage problem during cultivation can be greatly solved.

In addition to the keel waterwheel, there is also a Quyuan plow.

It is different from the plows of Dongliang Kingdom. The plows of Dongliang Kingdom have straight shafts and long shafts, while it has curved shafts and short shafts.

And the shaft head is equipped with a plow disc that can rotate freely, which not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also facilitates turning and turning, flexible operation, and saves manpower and livestock.

The last piece of paper is a wheat cutting tool called Luer.

Composed of bamboo weaving, ropes, blades and handles, it is shaped like a large dustpan, except that there is a two-foot-long sharp blade at the mouth of the dustpan, which cuts much faster than a sickle.

The pictures and texts on the woman's drawing have been clearly written, and Pei Xuanling thinks these farm tools are feasible, "The farm tools you drew are all good, I'll ask the Ministry of Industry to try some tomorrow, and if it's okay, I'll ask the Ministry of Households to approve it." money, the Ministry of Industry mass-produces."

Jiang Shishi: "Your Highness, I have a request."

Pei Xuanling: "Say."

Jiang Shishi: "Exactly. Can you please stop telling the public that this sketch of farm tools was drawn by my concubine?"

If it wasn't because of her status as a book wearer, she would have learned this knowledge from later generations, otherwise how would she know this?
Moreover, in Dongliang country, a woman who knows too much is definitely not a good thing for her.

The prince trusts her, so he doesn't have to ask her too much each time.

But as for Emperor Jianyuan and those ministers, she, a woman, came up with a good solution that none of the ministers could think of. Just thinking about it, she knew that there would be troubles for the upper body.

Pei Xuanling looked up at the woman, and probably knew what she was worried about, "Gu can help you hide it, but, after all, you came up with this drawing, and you have to find someone to help you replace the fame."

Jiang Shishi thought for a while, "Why don't you just say you came up with it?"

If it were someone else, they would wish to replace this credit for nothing.

But Pei Xuanling shook his head and said, "This is inappropriate."

Jiang Shishi: "That can't be cheap for others."

Pei Xuanling: "So you just want to be cheap?"

"You are not someone else."

"Then who are you?"

"You are one of your own."

"." Pei Xuanling suddenly didn't want to talk much.

After a long while, he said: "Why don't you do this? Let's just say that your elder brother Jiang Chongjin thought of it. By then, Jiang Chongjin will have merit. As a member of the Jiang family, it will also benefit you."

Jiang Shishi could see that the crown prince is not a person who likes to take advantage, and he is really thinking about her, "But my elder brother is stubborn, and I don't know if he will take over this fame."

Before she gave Jiang Chongjin money, Jiang Chongjin said that he didn't want to eat his sister's soft food, and he firmly refused.

Jiang Chongjin won't want fame and fame from the sky this time.

Alas, there are honest people around me, it's hard to find them to take the credit for it!

Pei Xuanling: "Your brother, Gu will convince him."

Jiang Shishi especially believes in the prince. Since the prince has said so, she believes that he has this ability.

After the two discussed the farm tools, Pei Xuanling reviewed the official documents for another half an hour, then got up and walked to the inner room, "It's getting late, let's arrange it."

Jiang Shishi followed the prince into the inner room and waited for the prince to change and wash.

After the prince washed up, he didn't rest immediately, but sat on the bed and read a book.

After taking care of the prince, Jiang Shishi changed her clothes and washed with Chun Xing.

When Jiang Shishi changed into her pajamas and sat down beside the bed, the prince on the bed suddenly handed her a gilded enamel gift box from under the quilt.

Jiang Shishi looked at the box, slightly surprised, "What is this?"

Pei Xuanling pushed the box in front of the woman, "Your birthday present."

ah?Jiang Shishi thought that the delicious food on that table was a birthday present prepared by the crown prince for her.

Unexpectedly, there are other gifts?
