Chapter 257 Two Gifts She Prepared "Replying to Your Majesty, I was preparing a birthday gift for you at that time."Just when he didn't want to deal with the big trouble of Hu Yanmingchuan anymore, he was suddenly called by Emperor Xuanwu. Yun Shu didn't care that she had already told him about this matter before, and stood up and responded respectfully: "In fact, I have prepared two gifts for you, father." "Oh?" Emperor Xuanwu, who originally just wanted to prevent this brat from continuing to whisper with that Beixiang pretty boy, actually became interested after hearing this: "Which two gifts?" "This first gift is quite mysterious. For now, only you, Father, can see it." Yun Shu took out a piece of silk cloth folded into a small square from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Li Dehai. The other ministers in the hall saw this scene and couldn't help but whisper to each other: "I remember that the gift that Her Royal Highness prepared for His Majesty last year was just a few pieces of insignificant looking paper. Later everyone found out that it was actually cheap paper! What is this year?"
"It looks like silk to me. Could it be... that this is a low-priced silk this year?" "…would you like to listen to what you are saying?" The official in front couldn't help but roll his eyes: "The significance of low-priced paper is to allow poor students to afford books and paper. What is the meaning of cheap silk cloth? To put it bluntly, it is just a higher quality paper. Is there any real meaning in bringing down its price, just to make it easier for the rich and powerful to spend? Do you think Her Royal Highness would go to such great lengths to do such a thing?" "..." That certainly won't happen. As everyone knows, Her Royal Highness, like His Majesty, is more inclined towards students from poor families. In the Linde Hall, everyone, including the officials of Tiansheng, were extremely curious about the piece of silk cloth that Yunshu took out. It was totally unimaginable why such a small thing could be given to Emperor Xuanwu as a gift by her. Even Emperor Xuanwu himself was very curious. He took the silk cloth from Li Dehai, thinking that there might be something wrapped inside. But when I opened it, I realized that it was just an ordinary piece of silk, but it was covered with densely packed small words written by Yun Shu. To put it more directly, she actually wrote a memorial on this. And the content on it was nothing else but the result of her building a "greenhouse" on the imperial farm to grow potatoes and other crops. The potato planting was successful, and the original 50 kilograms of potatoes have now doubled to more than 1,000 kilograms. The sweet potato planting was successful, and the estimated yield per mu is similar to that of potatoes, at least around two thousand kilograms. The corn planting was successful, and the estimated yield per mu is about 1,500 kilograms. Pepper planting success... tomato…… After a long list of successful planting reports of species brought back from overseas, Yun Shu also added a paragraph about her speculation that the southern region might not need a "greenhouse" to achieve double harvests of some crops a year.
This small piece of silk cloth carries the good news that the people of Tiansheng Dynasty will never have to suffer from hunger again. After Emperor Xuanwu quickly read through it, he stood up excitedly on the spot, laughed loudly and raised his glass to everyone: "God bless the Yun clan and allow me to have this Qilin girl to protect the people of Tiansheng! I am happy today. I toast to all the beloved ministers present here. I hope you will join hands with me and the princess to build Tiansheng together!" "We are willing to serve Your Majesty with all our heart and soul, until our death!" Although I don't know what was written on the silk cloth, it made Emperor Xuanwu suddenly jump up like a chicken blood and say such words. But everyone will still give fixed replies. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all. The Tiansheng court officials had just returned to their seats when they saw their own emperor staring at the princess with an extremely pleased and proud look: "This gift is very good!" "As long as Father likes it." As if she could not feel the gaze of the eldest prince beside her, which was almost solidified and pierced her like a sieve, Yun Shu casually gave Yun Chuhuan some credit: "In fact, this gift also deserves some credit from the Sixth Prince." Yun Chuhuan who was suddenly carried away: "?" Who? What contribution? Is he involved in this? But he didn't even know what was written on the silk cloth! But...why not want the credit that I got for free? Yun Chuhuan chuckled, and quickly stood up as well, puffing out his chest proudly: "This is what a son should do!" Emperor Xuanwu: “…” Yes, his contribution is also quite great. After all, if it weren't for his greed, after learning from Xiaowu that there might be some delicious food overseas that Tiansheng didn't have, he would have insisted that the Liu family caravan go on a long voyage. It is impossible for these grain seeds to be brought back so early. For such a great achievement, just give him a verbal praise. Emperor Xuanwu nodded perfunctorily: "good." Yun Chuhuan, who was still waiting to be praised, said: "?" Is this gone? Why! He also didn't expect his father to be so excited that he would stand up and praise him as a heaven-sent child, as he did when he praised his fifth sister just now. Even if you just reward him with some silver, that would be fine!
Is it a bit too much to just send him off with a simple “not bad”? Although... although he still doesn't even know what's "good" about himself. But since the fifth sister said he made a contribution, then it must be true! Yun Chuhuan glared at Emperor Xuanwu angrily, and wanted to speak up for himself. Emperor Xuanwu, who was sitting at the top of the table, had already jumped to the next topic with Yunshu with great interest: "You just said that you prepared two gifts for me today. This is one, what about the other one? " "My Lord, this other gift is also quite special. Everyone present can see it together, but you need to move outside the Linde Hall first." Yun Shu raised his hand slightly: "Father, please." "What's so mysterious?" At this moment, not to mention Emperor Xuanwu himself who was accepting the gift, Even Huyan Mingchuan, who was the least interested in these things, had his appetite whetted by her. He mixed in the crowd and slowly walked out of the Linde Hall. "There's nothing out here!" I looked around in the light of the rows of lanterns outside. Yun Chuhuan quietly tugged at Yun Shu's sleeve: "Fifth sister, did you really leave the gift for father outside? Could it be that someone took it away?" "Just wait and see." He raised his hand and patted Yun Chuhuan's head. Amid the puzzled discussions of the people around him, Yun Shu calmly walked to the front: "Father, the gift I prepared for you is in heaven." "Heaven?" Emperor Xuanwu looked up at the sky, which was so foggy that not even a few stars could be seen. There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
