Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 108 About Drought
Zitan couldn't answer Su Qingyan's words, after all, it was Xiao Fuzi who usually did things like scouting for news.

She didn't get an answer, and Su Qingyan didn't care. She looked away and continued to read the book in her hand.

…………

"So, under the long drought, it is indeed possible to cause a plague of locusts?" In Longgan Palace, Emperor Jing looked at the ministers who had reported back and forth, and asked.

It was Su Qingyan's father, Su Zhiyuan, who came to report. Hearing Emperor Jing's question, Su Zhiyuan quickly spoke.

"Returning to the emperor, according to the emperor's instructions, I found a lot of experienced old farmers and asked their opinions. Most of them said so, because it hasn't rained for a long time, and the old farmers are unavoidably worried."

If there is a locust plague, the crops may not be harvested, and the farmers will live on the crops in the field, so naturally they are worried.

"Have you asked about the solution? What do the old farmers think of the solution I mentioned before?" After hearing Su Zhiyuan's words, Emperor Jing asked again.

"Weichen has already inquired, and the old farmers have no good solution, but after hearing the method told by the emperor to Weichen, they all agree with it, and think we can try it."

"Since that's the case, let's give it a try. I will leave this matter to you. You will send this method to various places as soon as possible. I hope that doing so will have some effect."

As soon as Su Zhiyuan's words fell, Emperor Jing immediately made a decision. Now that the drought has been going on for a long time, there is no longer any delay.

"Yes." Saluting to Emperor Jing, Su Zhiyuan retreated.

When he left Longgan Palace, Su Zhiyuan happened to meet the queen who came to give something to Emperor Jing. Su Zhiyuan saluted the queen before leaving.

Seeing Su Zhiyuan's leaving back, a light flashed in the Queen's eyes. As a Queen, she naturally knew who the minister who was saluting to her just now was.

"Let's go." Looking away, the queen ordered, and Yingluo responded, and walked with the queen towards Longgan Palace.

"Report to the emperor, the empress is here." In the harem, except for the empress, concubines are not allowed to come to Longgan Palace at will, unless there is an order from the emperor.

"Please come in, queen." Normally, queens rarely come to Longgan Palace, so Emperor Jing was a little surprised.

After receiving the order, Kang Ninghai withdrew from the palace, and soon invited the queen in.

"Greetings to the emperor." Carrying Yingluo, the queen entered the palace and saluted Emperor Jing.

"The queen is free." Putting down the folder in his hand for the time being, Emperor Jing came out from behind the desk, helped the queen up, and the two walked to the soft couch together, and then sat down.

"If it's hot today, my concubine heard that the emperor ate very little recently and was busy with official duties, so I couldn't help but feel a little worried, so I specially ordered the small kitchen to make some appetizing food for the emperor to send to the emperor."

After sitting down, the queen stood up while talking, took the food box from Ying Luo's hand, and placed the food on the small table herself.

"The queen has a heart." Because of the drought in the north, Emperor Jing really has a headache recently, and with the hot weather, his appetite is also a bit poor.

"The concubine knows that the state affairs are heavy, but the emperor should take care of his body. If he is tired, he will take a rest occasionally. If you are exhausted, what should you do?"

Seeing Emperor Jing eating the food she brought, the queen smiled and said.

"Queen, don't worry, I know it well." Originally, Emperor Jing also thought about going to the harem for a walk today, but now that the queen came, he naturally responded.

"Your Majesty, don't blame the courtiers and concubines for talking too much. After all, the sisters in the harem are all looking forward to the Emperor."

Seeing Emperor Jing's response, the queen understood that her goal had been achieved, and even if the emperor didn't flip the sign tonight, she would still enter the harem tomorrow.

When Emperor Jing used up the food he had brought, the queen took Yingluo and left. Seeing that the queen had left, Emperor Jing thought for a while and stretched out his hand to look at his nails, "Kang Ninghai, wait for Concubine Chen to wake up from her afternoon nap. Go to Tao Ranju and tell me, I'll be there tonight."

"Yes." In response, Kang Ninghai followed Emperor Jing back to the desk, helped Emperor Jing grind, and waited for him to continue reviewing the memorial.

…………

When Su Qingyan woke up from her afternoon nap, Kang Ninghai had also arrived. Knowing that Emperor Jing was coming at night, Su Qingyan ordered people to get ready.

The Queen knew that Emperor Jing was going to Tao Ranju, so she was not surprised at all. Now that Concubine Chen is in favor, and her brother has just made great achievements, it is normal to go to Tao Ranju a few more times.

If there are no accidents, it must be time to go to Yichun Palace tomorrow night.

When Emperor Jing arrived at Tao Ranju, Su Qingyan had just packed up and was leaning on the soft couch to read a book.

Su Qingyan was already a little used to things like Emperor Jing coming in without notification.

Putting down the book in her hand, Su Qingyan got up and wanted to salute, but was held down by Emperor Jing, who sat beside Su Qingyan, talking to Su Qingyan with a smile.

"The emperor's nails seem to be growing again, can I cut them for you?" After the two of them said a few words, Su Qingyan noticed Emperor Jing's nails. She looked at Emperor Jing and asked with a smile.

"Okay." Responding, Emperor Jing watched Su Qingyan order the maid to fetch something, and then carefully trimmed his nails, and felt that somewhere in his heart became softer.

"The bracelet on Ah Qing's hand is quite beautiful." Su Qingyan trimmed his nails, and Emperor Jing naturally noticed the bracelet on her wrist.

"The emperor also thinks it looks good? This is a few days ago. The empress sent someone to give it to my concubine. I like it very much, so I took it with me. However, I plan to put it away these days. It is said that this tourmaline is too brittle. It is prone to cracks, and it would be a pity if there were cracks in such a good thing."

Hearing Emperor Jing's question, Su Qingyan responded with a smile. Emperor Jing looked at the tourmaline bracelet on her wrist, and a flash of thought flashed in his eyes.

"If Ah Qing likes it, I will find another string for you." After cutting the nails of one hand, Emperor Jing smiled and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but if your Majesty is looking for a bracelet for my concubine, I'd rather not look for a tourmaline. This tourmaline is too fragile, and my concubine will definitely not want to wear it."

After cutting all the nails, Su Qingyan spoke again. Hearing what she said, the smile on Emperor Jing's face couldn't help but deepened.

Emperor Jing also came early today, so it's not time for dinner yet, Emperor Jing glanced at Su Qingyan's book on the table, and suddenly thought of what Su Zhiyuan reported to him today.

"The drought in the north, I have sent people to find experienced old farmers to inquire, and the conclusion they have come to is that the possibility of a locust plague is indeed high. The method you told me, I also asked people to ask, it is still feasible. "

Hearing Emperor Jing talk about the drought in the north, Su Qingyan listened carefully, and when Emperor Jing said it was feasible, Su Qingyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I have already handed over this matter to your father. If the possibility of the locust plague can be reduced this time, I will make your father the Secretary of the Household Department. After all, you came up with this idea."
