“Just like flowers, there are thousands of flowers worldwide, but each has its own characteristics.
“Just like the graceful and luxurious peony, the fragrance of jasmine, the charm of peony, and so on.
“As long as you are unique, the Emperor will never forget you.
“But I must remind you, if you want to fight for attention, don’t take the initiative to provoke others, but work hard on the Emperor.
“As long as you are in his heart, nothing else is important.”
“I’ll remember it.”
“Also, you have to take the initiative to greet, act coquettishly, be jealous, and so on.
“Let him feel that you care about him, like him, and need him.
“Otherwise, so what if you’re a strong woman? When he forgets you, you’ll be nothing.”
“Was my cousin charmed by you like this?”
“Our situation is different.
“We’ve been through a lot together, and now we’re more like family who can’t leave each other.”
“What are you guys whispering about here?” Mingyu walked over and patted their shoulders.
“You scared us to death. Can’t you greet us properly?” Gu Wanning said.
“You look happy?” Zhou Ying raised her head and asked, “Is your marriage settled?”
“You’re so annoying. You only know how to stab me in the heart.” When Mingyu said this, she looked at Gu Wanning. “By the way, where’s the Empress and the little princess? They’re the main characters today. Why haven’t they shown up yet?”
“I heard that the little princess was crying in the morning, and the Empress coaxed her to sleep.”
“I see.” 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, “Chengrui, have all the corn seeds been distributed?”
“Yes, the officials and the wealthy families were given 100 acres of seeds each.
“The commoners were distributed according to the population. Every two people would get one acre worth of corn seeds.
“This way, every family can plant them.”
“Very good. Officials and wealthy families mainly grow rice and wheat anyway.
“Especially the new type of wheat seeds. The worst-conditioned land could already produce 500 pounds per acre.
“In my opinion, the food problem in the country will be completely solved by next year.” The Emperor smiled.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty.”
“Haha, it’s mainly due to Mother God’s credit.
“Oh right, there’s also yours. If it weren’t for the sweet potato as a foundation, the country wouldn’t have recovered so quickly. The provincial examination is coming soon. Do you want to participate?” The Emperor asked.
Gu Chengrui shook his head and said, “No, I’m not interested in being an official. I can’t deal with all these schemes. It’s good to be a doctor and do some business.”
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.
“You’ll always be in charge of agriculture. I hope you can make some contributions here.”
“Is it still the same as before? Do I get to skip court?”
“Yes, I’ll send someone to inform you only when I need you.
“Also, if you need me, you can just enter the palace to look for me. At other times, you’re free to do whatever.” The Emperor replied unhappily.
“Thank you for your understanding, Emperor.” Gu Chengrui smiled.
“How is it?
“I told you that he wouldn’t participate in the provincial examination, and he doesn’t like being an official.” Zhou Huaiming said as he walked out of the side hall..
