Chapter 324: Mr. Huang
Thinking that the two might be talking about something private, he said, "Mom, I came here to tell you that I moved here. You guys continue chatting, I'll go clean up first."
"Qing'er, you stay," Wu Yu called out to Xue Qing.
Liu looked at Wu Yu in surprise.
Wu Yu showed the cloth on the table to Xue Qing. Liu was shocked, but a hint of relief appeared on her face.
Xue Qing took the cloth handed over by Wu Yu: "Let me see"
Wu Yu nodded.
After reading it, Xue Qing said with a sigh: "The love for my son is endless."
"The throne?" Xue Qing suddenly thought of a word in it.
Suddenly he looked at Wu Yu: "Is your biological father the emperor?"
He looked at Liu again and saw Liu nodded: "What is this?"
"This is the late queen..."
After hearing this, Xue Qing stood there in silence.
I didn't expect that I would meet a prince when I came here. Alas, he is just a prince who grew up in the countryside, so it is estimated that the possibility of him inheriting the throne is not great.
"It was the emperor who abducted you to the capital, which means you have already met the emperor," Xue Qing asked.
Mrs. Liu nodded.
"Did the emperor say he wanted to take Wu Yu back?"
"The Emperor only confirmed Yu'er's background and then sent me back to the General's Mansion."
Xue Qing looked at Wu Yu: "Do you want to take it back?"
Wu Yu smiled bitterly: "Is this something I can decide?"
Xue Qing laughed and said, "Indeed, but don't you think there's something wrong with the fire in Fengyi Palace?"
After a pause, she pointed at the suicide note that Wu Yu had just shown her on the table and said, "This is clearly a suicide note, but the content is obviously not written in an emergency situation because of a sudden fire, but..."
Wu Yu continued: "It was already written."
"The late queen might know something, but she had no place to tell it," Xue Qing said.
Then he turned to look at Liu: "Mother, you have been Wu Yu's wet nurse in the palace for three years, didn't you find anything?"
Liu tried hard to recall some things that happened back then.
"What is the relationship between the Emperor and the late Empress?" Xue Qing regretted asking this question.
Can we expect the Emperor to have true feelings?
"The relationship must be bad. How can someone from the royal family have feelings?"
Xue Qing's words shocked Liu: "Qing'er, don't talk nonsense!"
"Sorry, Wu Yu!" After all, he is her biological father! It's not nice to say that.
Xue Qing suddenly regretted moving here, wondering if it would have any impact on Wu Yu. The most important thing was that if he was recognized by the emperor, living here would definitely affect his reputation.
"Oh, by the way, Mom, you didn't tell me about my engagement with Wu Yu, right?" Xue Qing asked quickly.
Liu shook her head: "The emperor didn't ask."
Xue Qing let out a long sigh, and Wu Yu's eyes darkened when he saw Xue Qing's expression.
"When the emperor summoned me, I told him I had a fiancée at home."
Xue Qing's face did not show the expression Wu Yu expected. She only said, "Then hurry up and find a fiancée, otherwise it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Liu quickly said, "Qing'er, I'm tired, please accompany me back."
Xue Qing accompanied Liu back to her courtyard.
Liu couldn't help but ask Xue Qing: "Qing'er, can't you reconsider your marriage with Yu'er?"
Xue Qing smiled and said, "Given his status, do you think the emperor would allow it?"
Liu was silent. How could the emperor allow a prince and a country woman to do this? All the civil and military officials in the court would not agree.
It was a sunny day, and Xue Qing took Jiang Yi to a farm outside Beijing.
The sun was shining on the earth. In a quiet manor, Xue Qingzheng and Jiang Yi and others were busy planting crops such as corn, potatoes, and peppers brought back from the Western Regions.
These novel crops carry their hopes for the future and may also bring new vitality to the people.
At this time, the emperor, using the pseudonym Mr. Huang, came to the manor on the outskirts of Beijing with the eunuch Li Jun on a secret visit.
When passing by a manor, the emperor saw several men busy in the fields. Curious, he got off the carriage and walked up to them to chat.
After the coachman parked the carriage, the servants followed closely behind.
"Young man, what are you planting?" The emperor pretended to be an ordinary citizen and asked curiously.
Xue Qing was wearing a men's shorts. He looked up and saw an old man with an extraordinary temperament, accompanied by an attendant. Although he felt a little strange, he replied enthusiastically: "Sir, we are planting some crops brought back from the Western Regions. There are corn, potatoes and peppers."
The emperor became even more curious and continued to ask, "What is so special about these crops?"
Xue Qing smiled and explained, "This corn has a high yield and full grains. It can be used as a staple food, so that people can have food to eat in years of famine. Potatoes are even more magical. They are easy to grow and have a huge yield. Whether they are boiled or roasted, they have a unique flavor. And this chili can be used as a seasoning to make the food more delicious."
The emperor nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "It sounds like these crops are indeed of great benefit to the people. How did you get these seeds?"
Xue Qing said: "We got it from merchants in the Western Regions by chance. We thought that if we could plant it widely here, it would definitely improve the lives of the people."
The two of them talked more and more, from the methods of growing crops to the possible impacts they might bring. The emperor said with emotion: "If these crops can really be as you said, it will be a blessing for the people."
Xue Qing smiled and said, "Yes, we also hope to do something practical for the people. Master, you seem to be someone who cares a lot about farming."
The emperor laughed and said, "I also farmed when I was young, so I am naturally interested in these things."
After chatting for a while, Xue Qing felt that the old man was very amiable, so he asked, "May I ask your name, sir? If you don't mind, please go to the pavilion over there and have a cup of tea."
Upon learning that the old man's surname was Huang, Xue Qing introduced himself as Wu Qing.
The emperor readily agreed and came to the pavilion with Xue Qing. Jiang Yiduan brought freshly brewed tea, and the fragrance of tea filled the air.
The emperor tasted the tea and praised it: "Good tea! This manor is really a great place."
Xue Qing said: "I hope that through the efforts of our group of people, these crops can take root and sprout in this land."
The emperor was pleased to see Xue Qing's enthusiasm. After a while, Xue Qing invited the emperor to have a meal at the farm.
On the dining table, dishes made from newly planted crops were served: potato stew and meat and scrambled eggs with peppers.
He first took a bite of the stewed meat and potatoes. The meat was tender and the potatoes were soft and glutinous. He praised it highly: "The potatoes and meat stewed together are so delicious."
