Work overtime

Chapter 742

The thing Jiang Yuebai did most during the first month of the year was to use a cat teaser to make the children look up and follow things with their eyes.

Jiang Yuebai made a cat toy, and then the five children were arranged in a row according to their birth order. The eldest princess was the third born and was in the center.

When the cat toy with a small bell moves to the left, the five pairs of eyes all move to the left. When the cat toy moves to the right, the five pairs of eyes all move to the right.

Everyone who saw it laughed out loud, including their father, the emperor, who personally used a cat toy to amuse the children.

In addition to cat toys, as the weather gets warmer, the children wear less clothes, so Jiang Yuebai leads each child to do radio gymnastics in the morning and evening.

"One two three four, two two three four, three two three four."

Everyone in Fengyi Palace was stunned. The queen had been learning martial arts since she was a two-month-old child.

Jiang Yuebai also told Concubine Sun that if she didn't do radio gymnastics for the children in the morning, she would do it. Concubine Sun didn't dare to move the heirs around, for fear of damaging their delicate arms and legs. It was still the mother who loved to raise her children who had to take action.

The third prince no longer cried for no reason and became a chatterbox.

There is no need for people around him to make him talk, he will talk to himself or go over to his brothers and sisters and "chirp, coo, babble".

It would be even more terrible if you talked to him face to face.

The other kids chat for a while and then ignore you. You say something, and they reply. Finally, they give you a polite but friendly smile.

When chatting with the third prince, he would reply with several sentences for every sentence he said, and if others stopped talking, he would clap their hands, meaning to continue talking.

When he talked, the eldest princess would often join in the conversation. The fourth prince would chat a few words here and there. The second prince and the youngest princess basically didn't bother to pay attention and just played by themselves.

Especially the little princess.

Jiang Yuebai had always worried that she might be mute and have developmental delays. She had no reaction to the rattles her brothers and sisters liked. That was until she dangled a gold and silver hairpin, a cloisonné bracelet that made rolling sounds, and a golden bowl that could be tapped to hear music in front of her.

Only then would she quickly follow the glowing things with her eyes, saying "oh oh oh" as if to say, "Wow, so many good things, give them to me, give them to me quickly."

She looks like a little money-grubber who loves beauty.

Unlike other brothers and sisters who would complain for a long time just by picking up something.

Just because "a child who can talk will get rich", Li Beichen gave her his own jade pendant as a reward.

Jiang Yuebai laughed at his daughter-slave attitude, "Just spoil her. Be careful that she will pick all the gems on your belt when she grows up."

It just feels like the year passed quickly.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the daily greetings began. As usual, Jiang Yuebai turned the greetings into a tea party, with delicious food and drinks, and storybooks to read.

It just so happened that Concubine Nian also came, pregnant with her child.

Jiang Yuebai made it clear up front that minor conflicts and verbal lawsuits were harmless and could be resolved by asking Lu Jieyu and her two companions to mediate. If mediation failed, they could come to him to judge the matter.

Anyone who dares to plot against the heir to the throne, or dares to kill a concubine, will be killed without mercy, regardless of success or failure, as long as there is solid evidence. Then he cited the previous examples of Meng Zhao being demoted and confined for plotting against other concubines, and Xia Wanyi being punished for causing Chen's miscarriage. Then he gave Concubine Jinde a meaningful look.

Concubine Jinde picked at her nails and said, "Your Majesty, if I did something wrong, please tell me directly, don't give me a look, or the other sisters will not understand."

Xia Wanyi is now a die-hard fan of Jiang Yuebai, and she quickly said, "My sisters, please take this as a warning. I regret it now."

Lu Jieyu immediately handed out a booklet called "Warning Book" to everyone, which listed the results of handling various vicious cases in the past six months. On the last page was a sentence, "The alarm bell is ringing. I hope all sisters will never harm others."

Then everyone was asked to go back and write a 500-word reflection and letter of guarantee.

Seeing Lu Jieyu's combination of punches, Jiang Yuebai began to doubt whether the truth pill given by the system was a fake or inferior product. Why does it look so unreliable? Isn't Lu Cairen a complete insider of the system?

I think everyone has already inquired about the consequences of not doing homework. Xia Wanyi spared no effort to explain it, Qing Liangyuan provided writing guidance and support, and Gu Changzai and Jiang Liangyuan said that they can all testify and accept consultation.

Three days later, all 25 assignments were handed in in good order, without anyone dragging their feet. Of course, the quality varied.

Jiang Yuebai felt very fulfilled when he was able to put away his homework.

These assignments were handed over to the three-person team of the Harem Secretariat for grading and finally submitted to the Queen for review.

Good guy.

The newcomers finally believed the rumor. The reward for writing well was actually a chance to sleep with the emperor. The first place winner was Concubine Jinde.

In order to let everyone learn what makes an excellent ideological report, Jiang Yuebai asked the storytelling master Xu Jieyu to read Concubine Jinde's thoughts to everyone.

Concubine Jinde only wanted to get a chance to sleep with him, but she didn't expect to have to read it out in public. She was angry and annoyed and said "No!"

Jiang Yuebai nodded to show that he understood Concubine Jinde very well, and then said the following:
"Sister Jindefei's thoughts are really well written. I am amazed and have studied them three or four times. I believe that other sisters will be greatly inspired by listening to them and learn from you how to write good thoughts.

Moreover, this is the basic principle of every activity, adhering to fairness, justice and openness. The same was true of the last thought. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the elderly present here.”

Jiang Yuebai paused, and immediately received a lot of echoes, saying that it was like this at the beginning, and that someone got the opportunity to sleep with him at that time. Among them, Xia Wanyi, a die-hard fan, was the most active, and her memories were the clearest and most complete, even mentioning that Fan became pregnant because of this. This made all the concubines in the audience gasp, and wondered, why are there people sighing about such good luck.

Jiang Yuebai smiled and nodded, expressing satisfaction with the support rate from the masses, and then said: "Of course, if Concubine Jinde is of high moral character and only wants to participate in ideological learning and does not want to compete for the opportunity to sleep with the emperor, she can apply to not participate in the final award. I wonder if Concubine Jinde wants to give up this reward and give the opportunity to sleep with the emperor to other sisters?"

Concubine Jinde's face turned red and white, and finally she angrily walked away with her sleeves swung, without saying "yes" or "no".

Jiang Yuebai was not angry either. He smiled and said, "Sister Jindefei is young and thin-skinned. Don't blame her. Concubine Xu, you should read your thoughts and let everyone learn from you, find the gaps, and write according to this standard in the future."

After reading it, everyone was silent. It was written so heartfelt and profound that I couldn't compare to it.

Concubine Jinde conducted a thorough self-analysis, clearly and clearly describing the cause, process, result, the emperor's treatment, the aftermath, and what to do in the future of how she caused Concubine Lie to have a miscarriage. This is extremely valuable for reflection and has a warning significance.

Jiang Yuebai then asked everyone if anyone felt that their manuscript could rival Concubine Jinde’s. If so, please read your manuscript and let everyone comment.

There was complete silence, and everyone basically said something similar to express their opinions. Who dared to write like Concubine Jinde? It was like a confession.

In order to encourage everyone to continue to participate in the future, Jiang Yuebai announced, "Originally, there was only a first prize. Everyone is participating so actively, so we will set up a participation prize. As long as you write your thoughts and the quality meets the basic standards, you can participate in the lottery. This will also be the case in the future."

Everyone likes to participate in the lucky draw at the annual meeting. After Jiang Yuebai announced the news, the crowd was excited. In the end, it was Concubine Lu who won. Concubine Lu was magnanimous and said that this time it didn't count and she would draw again. This time, Concubine Xie won.

Jiang Yuebai noticed that when Concubine Lu won the prize, her expression was not one of surprise but horror. This puzzled her, but she remained calm and said nothing.

She told Li Beichen the news about the ideological study award. Li Beichen's face twitched and he could only express his support for his wife's work, and then asked for compensation and comfort in a lustful manner.

Needless to say, the result was that Li Beichen still got a lot of other benefits, as she was still in the third month of confinement, so she definitely couldn't expect to sleep with him.

Jiang Yuebai was exhausted and looked at the top of the tent. "It seems that the wool still comes from the sheep."

Li Beichen said seriously, "Even if the technology is advanced in the future, it is impossible to produce wool from cows."

"You should withdraw those two guards. I have already given birth to my child and do not need protection. This will prevent gossips from spreading in the harem. Besides, I am already the queen, who would dare to fight with me?"

Li Beichen thought about it and agreed, "Okay."

He directly arranged the two of them to patrol outside Jiang Yue White House.

A few days later, Concubine Ye suddenly summoned the imperial physician, saying that she was more than a month pregnant. Li Beichen was very happy to visit her and gave her many rewards so that she could rest assured and take care of the baby.

In fact, Li Beichen was busier in February than in the first month of the year.

The backlog of work in the first month of the year was piled up in the second month. Moreover, the plan for the year starts with spring. The most important thing in agriculture is spring planting. You have to worry about the east, west, south and north.

In particular, the scientific research team going to the seaside has been fully formed and is heading to Hainan.

Meng Xiang had already arrived at Jilong Island in October. Li Beichen gave him 50,000 people. It was too few for fighting, but it was difficult to maintain them in normal times.

He led the soldiers to spend the first Spring Festival in Jilong. Fortunately, the winter in Jilong was not cold. After they arrived, they built houses with the help of the indigenous residents, cultivated wasteland, and dug ponds to raise fish. Li Beichen gave a few multiple birth pills to a trusted adjutant accompanying him, telling him that this was rich in nutrition and good for raising fish, pigs, chickens and ducks. It can be ground into powder and fed to them.

The adjutant obediently fed the poultry and livestock brought over. The chickens and ducks were the most effective. Using local materials, he fed the chickens and ducks seaweed, shells, small fish and shrimps. The eggs were puffing out.

After a few rains, the fish ponds dug out quickly accumulated some water, and gradually the water increased. Fish fry were introduced from other ponds. After the "feed" was sprinkled, the fish fry grew rapidly and in large numbers.

They went to the sea to catch seafood and had a good harvest.

Except for the lack of food, there were plenty of eggs, chickens, ducks and fish. The pigs also gave birth to the first batch of piglets, nine to ten in each litter, which was a frightening number. It was still a long way from being able to eat meat, but it made people very happy.

In this case, you can only eat more vegetables and less rice.

This group of brave people spent a simple and hard Spring Festival using the food, pickled meat, fresh fish, shrimp, seafood, chicken and duck brought on board the ship.

Li Beichen has sent someone to deliver super rice seeds, sweet potatoes, and potato cuts to the chicken coops. He believes that after the successful planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes, their high yield and rapid maturity can alleviate some of the staple food problems.
