Your Majesty, please do not disturb, the empress only wants to engage in business

Chapter 138 Granting a title

As a royal concubine, Chen Yimiao was a very smart person, but her intelligence and talent were always focused on matters related to the emperor.

You could say she was wise but foolish, or that she was love-brained, but Yao Jinse was certain in her heart that she could distrust the Imperial Concubine's decision on anything except making the Emperor happy. The Imperial Concubine was very good at dealing with the Emperor.

The emperor's current expression is the most powerful evidence for this point of view.

Xie Yun'an had a romantic encounter in Chengqian Palace yesterday. In addition to making the imperial concubine more excited about her pregnancy, it was also an unexpected gain.

Last night, Chen Yimiao pretended to casually mention that Concubine Yao had created an interesting new gadget, saying it was very useful. Xie Yun'an knew Chen Yimiao best, and naturally knew that his own imperial concubine usually liked to use this method to whet people's appetite. With his appetite satisfied, Xie Yun'an was naturally willing to continue talking along the lines of Chen Yimiao. He originally wanted Chen Yimiao to say more, but he never expected that the people around him had fallen asleep, and because of the morning court the next day, this matter was delayed.

If he hadn't passed by Yuxiu Palace, Xie Yun'an probably wouldn't have remembered this.

In fact, Xie Yun'an was just asking casually.

He grew up in the harem, how could he not understand what the concubines were trying to say? Concubine Rong originally had few people who were obedient to her, and with the departure of Concubine Yi, there was only Concubine Yao left. Concubine Rong was finding ways to get benefits for her people.

But for Xie Yun'an, he was not that stingy. He asked Concubine Yao to take care of trivial matters for the imperial concubine in order to make Concubine Rong happy. Now that Concubine Yi was gone, it was not impossible to let Yao take over.

But since Chen Yimiao had gone to so much trouble to act out such a scene, of course he had to cooperate. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of his beloved concubine's efforts?
However, even though he will cooperate, it is not acceptable for him to spend any more time on this matter.

Being willing to ask this question was already a sign that Xie Yun'an was giving face to Yao Jinse. If Yao Jinse could come up with something good, he would certainly not hesitate to praise her. If she couldn't, he would just praise her a few words and then leave it at that.

The so-called magnanimity, after all, depends on the person.

But Yao Jinse was fully prepared.

The product has been completed and has been verified by the craftsmen to be effective. Moreover, with deliberate cost cutting, this product is indeed suitable for promotion. Yao Jinse took out this product to show Xie Yun'an, and she promoted it based on Xie Yun'an's current needs.

Although the heat dissipation effect is certainly not as good as that of metal pipes, and the storage time is certainly not too long, bamboo is already a rare material for making pipes. The north is dry and cold in winter, and compared with the wet and cold south, there are more people freezing to death. If ordinary people had more means of keeping warm, there wouldn't be so many people freezing to death.

Since coming here, Yao Jinse has never thought about being able to leave the palace and live a life of seclusion, let alone making achievements in the harem - in this era, anything a woman does will mostly be attributed to her husband. Yao Jinse knows this in her heart, but she doesn't want to do nothing.

People live their lives only for themselves. Of course, she wants wealth and glory, but if she can help the world after being rich and powerful, she would also be happy to see it happen.

Xie Yun'an leaned on the backrest of the warm kang and watched the people below bring things in. Yao Jinse's bedroom was not big to begin with, and it was inevitably a bit crowded with several people and such a piece of equipment. Yao Jinse waved her hand to let the servants go out, and stood up to demonstrate it to Xie Yun'an herself.

In order to make room, the pot that was about to be finished was removed. Bai Tao brought a bowl of corn porridge that Yao Jinse had cooked from the small kitchen to Xie Yunan. The porridge was garnished with some red dates and peanuts. Xie Yunan tasted it and nodded with satisfaction. Yao Jinse's porridge was a special feature of her in Xie Yunan's heart. Corn porridge was originally a good choice for nourishing the stomach. Yao Jinse cooked it for a long time and it was very soft. The peanuts added to the taste. The red dates were sweet but not as greasy as sugar. After eating a bowl, the whole person felt warm and comfortable.

Xie Yun'an drank half a bowl of wine in a row. At this time, Yao Jinse also propped up the rack of the heating pipe with the help of Bai Tan. He looked at the new things, and even the previous depressed mood caused by the early morning court and the gloomy weather outside was relieved a little. It happened that the snow outside slowly stopped at this time, and Yao Jinse poured water from the basin above the small stove on the coal stove.

In fact, the amount of gold and iron stored in the harem was not small, but as an emperor, salt and iron had always been the lifeblood of the dynasty, and Xie Yun'an could not distribute these things in large quantities to the people.

But even this set made of bamboo gave Xie Yun'an some clues.

This thing is not complicated. It just uses hot water. Places with hot water will always be warmer. The hot spring in the palace was built in this way. Xie Yun'an is not an ignorant person. As an emperor, he is also a well-educated person. Naturally, he can quickly understand the use of this thing.

It is precisely because he can understand it that he is more interested.

It is really rare that Yao Jieyu, a woman in the deep palace, could figure out these things and put them into practice.

He really wanted to hear what Yao Jinse thought about this thing, which would be useful to him.

Throughout the dynasties, the emperor's achievements were focused on two things: the expansion of the country's territory and the people's peaceful and prosperous lives. As for the expansion of territory, without military power in his hands, Xie Yun'an could not do much for the time being. However, such a small gadget could actually improve the lives of many people, which was extraordinary.

He had to listen carefully before he could argue with those ministers.

Yao Jinse had this idea in mind, and the two of them hit it off immediately.

As the proposer, Yao Jinse never thought about gaining anything for herself in this matter. As the saying goes, if you have no desires, you will be strong. If you don't want anything, you can get everything.

She didn't believe that Xie Yun'an was so thick-skinned that he would take something and not give anything in return. Even if Xie Yun'an could do such a thing, the imperial concubine would not let it go easily. Yao Jinse had already prepared a way out for herself, so she could act more virtuous when explaining.

However, what she didn't expect was that Xie Yun'an was really generous this time.

"Speaking of which, what the imperial concubine said makes sense. You have indeed made a contribution to the fact that this thing was produced in your hands. Although you don't ask for anything, I cannot help but reward you with something."

Xie Yun'an hooked his finger, and Hu Shijie, who was serving on the side, bent down and waited for instructions.

"Pass on my decree. Yao, the concubine of Yuxiu Palace, is kind and intelligent. She has given birth to the princess and is given the title of Lin. The princess is given the title of Dongyang. I order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare the imperial edict. Go ahead."
