âJust like flowers, there are thousands of flowers worldwide, but each has its own characteristics.
âJust like the graceful and luxurious peony, the fragrance of jasmine, the charm of peony, and so on.
âAs long as you are unique, the Emperor will never forget you.
âBut I must remind you, if you want to fight for attention, donât take the initiative to provoke others, but work hard on the Emperor.
âAs long as you are in his heart, nothing else is important.â
âIâll remember it.â
âAlso, you have to take the initiative to greet, act coquettishly, be jealous, and so on.
âLet him feel that you care about him, like him, and need him.
âOtherwise, so what if youâre a strong woman? When he forgets you, youâll be nothing.â
âWas my cousin charmed by you like this?â
âOur situation is different.
âWeâve been through a lot together, and now weâre more like family who canât leave each other.â
âWhat are you guys whispering about here?â Mingyu walked over and patted their shoulders.
âYou scared us to death. Canât you greet us properly?â Gu Wanning said.
âYou look happy?â Zhou Ying raised her head and asked, âIs your marriage settled?â
âYouâre so annoying. You only know how to stab me in the heart.â When Mingyu said this, she looked at Gu Wanning. âBy the way, whereâs the Empress and the little princess? Theyâre the main characters today. Why havenât they shown up yet?â
âI heard that the little princess was crying in the morning, and the Empress coaxed her to sleep.â
âI see.â After Mingyu finished speaking, she squeezed between them and started chatting with them.
Zhou Ying soon discovered that, other than her family and the Sun family, the rest were all members of the royal family. It seemed that this was only a small-scale, one-month-old birthday banquet.
Soon, Sun Miaoke walked out.
After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, they sat down and started chatting.
When everyone found out that the little princess had fallen asleep, their voices immediately became softer.
In the royal study, the Emperor saw Gu Chengrui come in and asked, âChengrui, have all the corn seeds been distributed?â
âYes, the officials and the wealthy families were given 100 acres of seeds each.
âThe commoners were distributed according to the population. Every two people would get one acre worth of corn seeds.
âThis way, every family can plant them.â
âVery good. Officials and wealthy families mainly grow rice and wheat anyway.
âEspecially the new type of wheat seeds. The worst-conditioned land could already produce 500 pounds per acre.
âIn my opinion, the food problem in the country will be completely solved by next year.â The Emperor smiled.
âCongratulations, Your Majesty.â
âHaha, itâs mainly due to Mother Godâs credit.
âOh right, thereâs also yours. If it werenât for the sweet potato as a foundation, the country wouldnât have recovered so quickly. The provincial examination is coming soon. Do you want to participate?â The Emperor asked.
Gu Chengrui shook his head and said, âNo, Iâm not interested in being an official. I canât deal with all these schemes. Itâs good to be a doctor and do some business.â
The Emperor saw the determination in his eyes and knew that he was not trying to shirk. He immediately felt that it was a pity.
Because Gu Chengrui was an intelligent, honest, and sincere person, it was convenient and reassuring to use him.
âYouâll always be in charge of agriculture. I hope you can make some contributions here.â
âIs it still the same as before? Do I get to skip court?â
âYes, Iâll send someone to inform you only when I need you.
âAlso, if you need me, you can just enter the palace to look for me. At other times, youâre free to do whatever.â The Emperor replied unhappily.
âThank you for your understanding, Emperor.â Gu Chengrui smiled.
âHow is it?
âI told you that he wouldnât participate in the provincial examination, and he doesnât like being an official.â Zhou Huaiming said as he walked out of the side hall..
