Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 175 Presentation of Centennial Ginseng
"Fourth, this birthday gift of yours is very mysterious. What is it? Open it quickly and take a look."

The emperor looked at Cang Xiuxuan's box, and he was not very happy. The box looked very exquisite, but compared with the gifts presented by the previous princes, this one was not that outstanding.

He was just curious about what other people said about the luck in his life.

Cang Xiuxuan bowed respectfully, "Yes, Father."

Cang Xiuxuan lowered his head and looked at the birthday gift in front of him. He knew better than anyone what would happen next when he opened the box.

Where others couldn't see him, Cang Xiuxuan smiled mockingly.

To be honest, he was really reluctant to give such a thing to the emperor, even if it was his biological father.

Born into the royal family, he had no family ties since he was a child. In the past, the emperor seemed to be very fond of him, and the whole country knew that he was the emperor's favorite son.

When he was young, he thought that the emperor really doted on him, but the older he got, the more ridiculous he felt. The emperor's doting on him was just to protect others. When the son he really loved grew up, he would no longer be useful. .

This is also the reason why he has encountered frequent assassinations in recent years. Some of them, very ridiculously, come from his biological father.

Cang Xiuxuan's eyes became colder and colder, and he became calmer and calmer.

As he slowly raised his hand, the contents of the box were revealed to everyone.

"A flower pot?"

"It seems that the fourth child has really stayed in the ravine for a long time. Not only is the world going on outside, but it is simply embarrassing for my father to send something like this here on his birthday."

"What's going on with King Qi? Why did he send you a flower pot? No matter how precious the flowers and plants in this mountain are, you can only enjoy them in your spare time. How can you offer them as birthday gifts? What a nonsense!"

Yu Dongren's eyes were also placed on Cang Xiuxuan's flowerpot. His eyes were serious and calm, and he did not make any comments like the others.

Perhaps there is a deeper meaning to King Qi’s move?

Just imagine, if a prince who is deeply feared is given a pot of flowers and plants as a birthday gift to the emperor on his birthday, will the emperor be less wary of him?

People who lose their minds by playing with things never pose any threat.

If King Qi had this idea, he really admired King Qi from the bottom of his heart. In such an occasion, he would put his own face on the ground, but there are really not many people who can do it.

Yu Dongren has always admired King Qi. If he can really establish this new image in front of the emperor today, he will definitely lie dormant in the future, waiting for opportunities to move.

or. . . . .This birthday gift from King Qi can really please the emperor. . . . . .

Yu Dongren thought about it and still felt that it was not possible.

Their emperor is not the kind of person who likes things in flower pots.

While everyone was having a heated discussion, Cang Xiuxuan had completely taken off the box cover.

There is some black soil in the flowerpot, and only a white thing is planted in the middle. The thing is tied with a red rope, and there is a cluster of red fruits on top of the green leaves.

"This... what is this? Why is it so happy to be born!"

When the emperor saw Cang Xiuxuan's birthday gift, he felt like his eyes lit up despite not having much interest in it at first.

Cang Xiuxuan smiled, "This is what I said is the greatest luck in this life."

If it weren't for Song Chen, how could he have these things, or how could he survive until now?
"His Royal Highness King Qi, this, this is a century-old ginseng!"

Some of the ministers sitting below seemed to recognize the thing presented by Cang Xiuxuan, and their voices trembled with excitement.

"Century-old ginseng?!"

The emperor sitting above was also shocked. He immediately stepped down from the dragon chair, came to Cang Xiuxuan's side, and stared at the flowerpot in front of him over and over again.

The little thing in front of him was white, plump and plump. Most of it was rooted in the soil. He could only see a small part of the stem and the leaves on it.

"Tao Aiqing, do you think this is ginseng?"

Master Tao, whose name was called, quickly came out and knelt in front of the emperor, "Back to the emperor, it seems to be a century-old ginseng, but Lao Chen is not sure, and needs to find an answer from His Highness Prince Qi."

Mr. Tao was the head of the Hanlin Academy, and he was well-read and knowledgeable. He said that this was what the Emperor believed in Ginseng, and the Emperor's eyes changed almost instantly.

If he was just curious about what Cang Xiuxuan offered before, then now his eyes have turned to scorching heat.

You must know that this is a very rare century-old ginseng.

What he has are all passed down from his predecessors. In his generation, after so many years in office, he has yet to receive a centenary-old ginseng offered from below.

A ginseng root appeared in a county before. It was said to be a century-old ginseng, but it was only a century old. By the time he received the news, a few strands of the ginseng had been cut off.

Even if he was interested in such incomplete things, he would not ask for them again.

It's really not worthy of his status.

No one knows that owning a century-old ginseng is actually something that every emperor of their royal family pursues throughout their lives. Ginseng can extend one's life. No one is not afraid of death, especially the emperor.With centuries-old ginseng, they feel as if their lives are protected.

And there is also a saying that when an emperor is in power, the number of years of ginseng that can be found represents the longevity of the emperor.

Although the emperors who had found ginseng before did not live as long as the ginseng they found, they lived longer than the emperors who did not find ginseng.

This is the truth.

"Fourth, is it ginseng?"

When the emperor asked this question, his voice was obviously filled with excitement.

Everyone else present was also waiting with bated breath for Cang Xiuxuan's answer, especially the princes who had been complacent before.

If the flowerpot they looked down upon was really a flowerpot, then the fourth birthday gift would definitely steal everyone's attention.

Compared to their nervousness, Cang Xiuxuan seemed particularly calm.

"Back to my father, it is indeed ginseng."

Just a few words made the whole hall agitated.

"It's actually ginseng. I've never seen such ginseng in all my years."

"Me too. All I've seen are prepared ginseng. This is the first time I've seen such ginseng. I didn't expect this little thing to be quite naive."

"King Qi is really very capable. I heard from the people that this ginseng has spirituality. It will take a lot of effort to catch them. Look at the red ribbon on the head of the ginseng. I heard that it is tied with a red rope." It won’t run away again.”

"Wonderful, such a birthday gift is enough to steal everyone's limelight."

"Father, this ginseng was obtained by me on Jiuling Mountain in Chongyun Town. Father, you also know that in a place like Chongyun Town, I really couldn't find a birthday gift that could be used to congratulate my father. Shou, I heard that the local villagers had a lot of treasures on Jiuling Mountain, so I wanted to go up the mountain to try my luck, but I didn't expect that I would go up the mountain with my father in mind, and harvest a century-old ginseng like this."

"Here, you picked this ginseng yourself!"

The emperor was shocked when he heard Cang Xiuxuan's words.

Putting this son in Chongyun Town, he naturally has a clear understanding of the environment in Chongyun Town. On the surface, it is because there is a hot spring village there, but in fact, it is because there are no conditions around there to recruit troops. .

He said that the Emperor of Jiuling Mountain also knew it in his heart.

Local people have rumors that Jiuling Mountain is extremely dangerous. It is said that no one who has gone up the mountain has ever come down.

The people at the foot of Jiuling Mountain refused to go up the mountain even if they were about to starve to death.

Looking at the ginseng plant in front of him and the son in front of him, the emperor's heart was wavering. Over the years, he had brought him many dangers under the pretext of doting on him.

Now that I think about it, it was his father who went too far.

Let alone anything else, just this filial piety. . . . . .

This century-old ginseng is rare, so getting this ginseng is definitely not as easy as he said.

Little did he know that Cang Xiuxuan's acquisition of this ginseng was easier than pulling out a radish.

However, Cang Xiuxuan would not say these things, nor how simple they were, and would continue to play his part.

"After I got the ginseng, I hurried back to Beijing. I didn't dare to delay for a moment on the way. I also asked my father to quickly confirm it with the imperial doctor."

Cang Xiuxuan's words made the emperor stunned again, "Yes, yes, Imperial Doctor Xuan."

Not long after, the head of the Taiyuan Hospital hurried over and went up to the main hall. When he saw the ginseng plant in front of Cang Xiuxuan, the head of the hospital was very excited.

His hands were shaking for a long time and he didn't dare to step forward.

"Your Majesty, I am very happy. This is a real century-old ginseng. The old minister took a rough look and found that it is at least more than 200 years old."

Imperial doctors know a lot about ginseng and other medicinal materials. They have seen it a lot. How to distinguish it in a natural way? He is not trying to tell whether it is ginseng, but how old it is.

At least more than 200 years.

This sentence shocked everyone again. How did King Qi obtain such ginseng? !
"His Royal Highness King Qi, veteran, can I take a look at the roots of this ginseng?"

The head of the Taiyuan Hospital carefully requested Cang Xiuxuan. For them, nothing was more interesting than medicinal materials. The reason why he brought it to the Taiyuan Hospital was because he could get access to many medicinal materials that were not accessible outside.

The ginseng he bought today made him feel that life was worth it.

Cang Xiuxuan was also stunned when he heard this, "Mr. Ma, you asked the wrong person. This ginseng belongs to the emperor, and it is the emperor you should be asking."

This sentence made the emperor laugh heartily again. The imperial doctor's sentence of more than 200 years already made him very happy today.

"Since this is the birthday gift given to me by the fourth child, then I will make the decision. Doctor Ma can just take care of it."
