Since they wanted to present the method of making ponds, Huo Xi and Mu Yan began to prepare.

First, transfer the white sugar and rock sugar made by the sugar workshop, and move them to the shop, ready to be shipped to foreign countries.The sugar-making equipment, pots, etc. were all hidden, and the sugar workshop was also tidied up, eliminating all traces.

Then I prepared graphic materials of several high-yielding crops, various data, how to cook the fields and the conditions of each planting stage, and prepared the real objects, and listed various ways to eat them.

Everything was ready, Huo Xi led Xiao Yu'er into the palace.

In Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Zhang Guifei was reclining on the soft couch in the gazebo after finishing the palace affairs.

From time to time there are migratory birds flying from the north in the sky, flapping their wings and flying across the sky. Concubine Zhang Guifei watched with fascination, only to feel that she was inferior to the birds in the sky.

Over the years, the emperor has frequently traveled to the north, and once he arrived in Beijing, he would never return.Accompanied by the young concubine from the harem.

She will always be the one who stays in the palace to manage the palace affairs.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, don't freeze, go inside the hall." Gong'e reminded softly.

"If I'm sick, do you think the emperor will come to see me?"

"My lady..."

That's all. "Go back."

Gong'e stretched out her hand to help Concubine Zhang get up...

"Grandma, Xiao Yuer is here to see you! Xiao Yuer is here!"

Concubine Zhang was taken aback, "Did you hear anything?" She looked at Gong'e next to her.

When the two maids heard it, there was a sound, but when they listened carefully, it disappeared.But there seemed to be footsteps.

"I don't know which little eunuch is naughty again, and refuses to walk properly. I will let the mother talk about him later."

Several people moved.

"Grandma, Xiao Yuer has come to see you!"

"Your Majesty, it seems to be the young master of Duke Qian's Mansion!"

Concubine Zhang Gui also heard it, she was very excited, she hurriedly stroked Gong'e's hand, and hurried down the steps of the gazebo, "Xiao Yu'er!"

"Grandma!"

A small figure appeared on the palace road, running fast, twisting and twisting its small body, shouting as it ran, "Little Yuer is here!"

"Oh, little fisherman!"

"Grandma!"

Hug together for a moment. "Grandma, do you miss Xiao Yuer? Xiao Yuer already misses you."

"I think, my aunt misses us Xiao Yuer. But Xiao Yuer doesn't even come to see my aunt."

"Xiao Yu'er wanted to come, but Mother said she couldn't come and disturb my aunt and grandmother often."

"My aunt and grandmother are not busy, even if Xiao Yuer comes every day, my aunt and grandmother are very welcome."

Concubine Zhang Gui, who had no children in her life, was the happiest moment for her every time she saw her natal family's nephews and nephews.

"Don't hug her, let him go by himself." Huo Xi walked over and bowed to Concubine Zhang.

"Don't worry, your aunt is not old enough to hug her. Besides, how heavy is Xiao Yuer." Zhang Guifei hugged Xiao Yuer and refused to let go.

Instruct Gong'e, "Go, instruct the imperial kitchen to prepare delicious food for Xiao Yuer, and send some cakes and snacks that Xiao Yuer likes to eat."

"Xiao Yuer wants to eat crabapple cakes and rabbit balls."

"Okay, my aunt and grandma asked us to bring them to Xiao Yuer, as well as plum cakes, Dingsheng cakes, and almond cakes, okay?"

Xiao Yu slobbered and nodded: "There are delicious drinks!"

"Okay, yes, yes!" Oh, why is she so cute, I wish I could keep this child in the palace to accompany her.

Not long after, Gong'e brought a lot of cakes and drinks, which Xiao Yuer liked to eat.

This child has been able to eat and love to eat since he was a child, he is not picky about his food, he eats everything deliciously, Concubine Zhang Guifei looked at him well, seeing that he was eating deliciously, she smiled all over her face.

The maids and nuns of Zhongcui Palace also like to watch him eat, yelling at each mouthful, which makes people feel good after seeing him.

"Xiao Yuer, eat this again and see if it tastes good." "It's delicious."

"What about this one?" "It's delicious too."

"Drink some drinks, don't choke." "Thank you sister."

Whoops, who doesn't love after seeing it.

Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. Except for the concubines in the harem, these maids and mothers have never enjoyed the happiness of husband and wife or the joy of raising children in their entire lives.Now seeing such a small milk dumpling, it is cute, well-behaved and obedient, who doesn't love it.

"Don't feed him too much, he will accumulate food after a while. Take him outside in the garden for a walk."

Although Concubine Zhang is not willing to part with Xiao Yuer, she also knows that Huo Xi's entering the palace today must be something.

Someone led Xiao Yuer to go outside for a stroll first.

"Xiao Yuer, let's go, let's go for a walk in the garden."

"Okay, sister."

"Hey, I'll take it." "I'll take it, I'll take it..." After grabbing it, a palace lady simply picked him up and ran away.

Concubine Zhang Gui couldn't help laughing.

Turning to look at Huo Xi, "You, it's been a long time since I entered the palace. Fortunately, Xiao Yuer didn't forget me as my aunt."

"The emperor has just announced the move of the capital, and the palace is probably in great chaos. I'm afraid that entering the palace will disturb you."

"They mess with them. I just close the temple door and live my life."

During this period of time, the natal families of all the concubines sent people into the palace to inquire about the situation, and every day someone handed a sign to the inner palace to see them.

Concubine Zhang Guifei had a dull life in the palace, but fortunately her brothers from her natal family were all good, and there were not so many bad things in her natal family.However, the concubines in the palace, except for the deceased Empress Wen who gave birth to the emperor's heir, all have no children.

They all live in a dull life, but they are favored and not favored.

Nothing to argue about either.

"Is there something to do in the palace today?"

Huo Xi nodded: "There is something I want to discuss with my aunt. I went back and asked my father, and my father asked me to go to the palace to discuss with you, saying that you can grasp... your thoughts better."

Concubine Zhang understood, "Okay, tell your aunt about it, and my aunt will give you the details."

Huo Xi then talked about the negotiated sugar law in exchange for the exoneration of his grandfather's family.

Concubine Zhang Guifei had a serious expression after listening.

She thinks she knows the emperor quite well.

Why did the emperor want to move the capital?There is a big reason that Emperor Yongkang has always been dissatisfied with the current capital.You can get a glimpse from his frequent north tours, leaving the prince to supervise the country.

Taizu's Ming decree passed on to the former emperor, but the emperor seized the throne from his nephew, and killed all the old officials of the previous court, almost completely.It also erased the traces of the four-year existence of the previous dynasty, did not recognize the reign title of the previous dynasty, and replaced those four years with the reign title of Taizu Hongwu.

In this way, it means that he succeeded to the throne from Taizu, not from his nephew.

This operation caused great dissatisfaction among scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiangnan is the sphere of influence of the late emperor, and the whereabouts of the late emperor is still unknown, which has become a heart problem for the emperor.

For the capital, this place is like a stalk.

Only when he returns to Beijing and his sphere of influence in the feudal state can he sleep soundly.There are many aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, and the emperor always feels that his hands are tied.

As for the old ministers of the former dynasty, the emperor wished to wipe them all away. If he didn't wipe them out, at least he didn't want to see them.When you see them, always remind him that he is not in the right place.

Over the years, I only heard that the emperor had killed so many people, but never heard of anyone being pardoned.

"This matter must be cautious."

Don't stir up the thorns in the emperor's heart and make him dissatisfied with the Zhang family and the Duke of Qian, that would be bad.

"What kind of sugar production method can really add so much wealth to the national treasury?"
