Chapter 254 Persuasion
The next day, His Majesty the Emperor happily followed Lu Shangshu and Ye Zhen to see the legendary pepper tree, and left the yard early.

In the room, while Lu Jingshu sighed paralyzed on the bed, she muttered, "Ye Zhen, let me see how you can thank me! For you, I sacrificed my boss!"

Ye Zhen, who had no idea that the crisis of recognition between herself and her mother was resolved by Lu Jingshu's "dedication", was walking up the mountain with His Majesty the Emperor, Lu Shangshu and others.

In the past, there were few people on the mountain, but now a group of people filed up. The curious Aunt Gousheng asked a guard on guard: "Big brother, what are they doing up the mountain?"

Guard: "..." I'm still very young. Is it appropriate for you, a middle-aged village woman, to call me big brother?

Fortunately, when the steward of Tianfeng saw Aunt Gousheng approaching the guard, he knew it was not good. After all, Aunt Gousheng was famous for her gossip!
Tianfeng rushed over to save the scene: "Aunt Gousheng, if you have anything to ask, just ask me, you ask them, they can't talk to you."

Aunt Gousheng was very persuasive, so she turned her head and asked Tianfeng again: "What are so many of them going up the mountain for?"

Tianfeng chuckled: "They? They are from the city. They have never seen the deep mountains and old forests. I heard that there are Xiong Xiazi or something in it, so I went in to see if I could meet tigers, Xiong Xiazi and the like. "

Aunt Gousheng's eyes widened when she heard this: "Is there still such a spectator? I think this Mrs. Jing's father-in-law is really courageous! Our mountain hunters dare not go up the mountain at this time!"

In this season, the snakes, insects and wasps in the mountains have already started to be active. If you don't pay attention, you will be easily injured. Most people are willing not to enter the mountains in summer.

Tianfeng grinned: "It's okay, those with guards, if there is anything, someone will naturally help."

Aunt Gousheng suddenly realized "Oh", and then said with emotion: "It's better to be rich, even if you are messing around, someone will help wipe your butt."

Tianfeng and the guard: "..." Auntie, you really dare to say it, but we really dare not listen!Afraid of being decapitated by the naughty one!
On the seemingly inconspicuous sunny hillside, an inconspicuous tree vine was surrounded by crowds.

Ye Zhen looked at the pepper tree, which was growing well but not so strong, and could only sigh silently, while explaining to the interested Emperor Lao Tzu and Lu Shangshu: "This is the pepper tree. I planted it last year. The seeds we planted, but this year, they have only grown so much, and there is no fruit. I suspect that it is because the winter here is too cold, which may not be good for the growth of pepper trees."

His Majesty the Emperor and Lu Shangshu looked at this delicate and weak pepper tree like a vine, both feeling novelty and feeling a little helpless: What if it gets damaged?
Ye Zhen didn't care about it: "I can't take this tree to Sanya, so I can only stay here. I'll take the seeds and go directly to Sanya. You can touch it if you want!"

It means: I was given up anyway? !
His Majesty the Emperor stopped worrying immediately, and reached out to touch it, and found that it was not much different from the vine next to it?

Lu Shangshu touched it very carefully, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, only to realize that his appearance was nothing more than that when he saw it, his curiosity was instantly satisfied, and the interest in the eyes of several people was naturally not so strong up.

Ye Zhen said: "Although this pepper tree can't bear a lot of fruit, but I asked the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, if it is directly planted in a place where the sun is better and the water is not so easy to accumulate, it can actually be supported. Your Majesty wants Don't ask the artisans of the Ministry of Industry to plant them in pots, and you take them back?"

This method... works!

Come out and bring back a money tree!The more you think about it, the more His Majesty thinks this plan is feasible, so he directly said to Ye Zhen: "You can handle this matter."

What can Ye Zhen say?Nod your head and agree, just do it obediently.

The nearby hillsides and woodlands belong to Ye Zhen. Since she came to her territory, it was bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor, Ye Zhen would naturally express her gratitude and introduce her at the same time.

The old genius doctor Hu came up, and naturally he knew more about the herbs on the mountain than Ye Zhen, so he told His Majesty the herbs that he encountered in the passing places and some herbs that can be picked in the mountains.

His Majesty the Emperor listened with gusto, and when he heard the old doctor Hu talk about the special flavor of Morinda officinalis in the mountains, His Majesty the Emperor became even more interested, and pulled the old doctor Hu aside and chattered for a while. Come back to the crowd with joy.

Ye Zhen's head is full of black lines: The emperor's hobby is really... Does this mean that he is unmarried and doesn't understand what Morinda officinalis is used for?

But anyway, Ye Zhen also knew that this kind of thing was not suitable for her to ask, so she could only pretend not to hear, and the group continued to wander around the foot of the mountain.

At this time, in the courtyard of the Lu Mansion, Mrs. Lu waited for Lu Jingshu to get up, but she didn't see her come out after waiting, so she rushed into Lu Jingshu's room in a hurry!

Lu Jingshu's back was sore and her clothes were disheveled. Who would have thought that her mother would come to lift the curtains in person? !
Feeling a little embarrassed at the moment, I couldn't help but angrily said: "Mom, why are you..."

"My concubine, I've been waiting outside very anxiously. Seeing that His Majesty has been out for so long, if you wait any longer, he will be back. It's inconvenient for me to come in before you leave the room!" Madam Lu Stamping his feet and shaking his handkerchief, he didn't care to speak directly.

Lu Jingshu blushed immediately: "But I..." I haven't even put on any clothes yet!

"Okay, okay! You've been gone for almost a year, and it's normal to be happy all of a sudden. Mother is in a hurry to come in today. It's just one thing. I have to explain it to you before His Majesty leaves!"

Mrs. Lu's appearance made Lu Jingshu no longer care about her shyness, she sat up hurriedly, and while looking for clothes, she asked, "Is something wrong? Tell me."

Mrs. Lu bit her lower lip: "Your Majesty can't stay here for too long, you have to talk to Your Majesty while His Majesty is still here, and let him take you and your two children back to the capital!"

Lu Jingshu was puzzled: "Why should I bring my child back to the capital with His Majesty?"

"You silly girl! If you don't go back to the capital, this year will be fine. Your majesty has no new favorite. What if another year? What if your majesty has a new love? What are you going to do? In this mountain nest The youngest in the nest?" Mrs. Lu spoke earnestly and moved her with affection.

It was only then that Lu Jingshu realized: The reason why my mother was in a hurry today was entirely because she was worried that His Majesty would leave again suddenly, but she didn't follow His Majesty back to Beijing, what would happen then!
It's always a good thing to have a loving heart for a daughter, but I really don't want to go to the capital!
