After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 173 Xibao meets his biological parents

The emperor had already received the letter in advance and sent an secret agent to wait at the dock on the outskirts of Beijing.

When the big ship flying the Lin family's flag docked at the dock, An San stepped forward to help and led Lin Wushang and his party to a secret private house.

Lin Xi asked An San: "What was the emperor's reaction when he got the cement?"

An San told the truth.

Knowing that the emperor regarded cement as a unique treasure, Lin Xi felt that the negotiation was successful.

The next day, the emperor secretly left the palace incognito and came to this private residence to meet with Lin Wushang to discuss the cement matter.

Lin Xi was also present.

The emperor and empress loved Lin Xi very much when they saw her.

This little girl, who looks about the same age as Wanwan, is really beautiful, like a jade dumpling.

Lin Wushang introduced: "This is the sworn sister I recognized, her name is Xibao. Xibao, these two are-"

He paused, not knowing how to introduce the emperor and empress.

The queen smiled and said, "Just call us uncle and aunt."

He stepped forward and teased Xibao, leading her to talk: "Your name is Xibao? How old are you?"

Lin Xi opened her big eyes and acted naturally, and her little milky voice can make people's hearts cute.

"Yes, my name is Xibao. I am two years old this year."

His speaking speed was deliberately slowed down a lot, but his enunciation was very clear. When he said "two years old", he cutely stretched out two pink fingers.

Lin Wushang on the side had a smile in his eyes, feeling that Lin Xi pretending to be a child was really interesting.

Even though she is a child herself.

Lin Xi asked: "Auntie, what's your name?"

Queen: "Xibao, my name is An Niang."

Lin Xi repeated each word: "An, mother."

For some reason, the moment the little girl in front of her said the word "mother", the queen's heart seemed to be grasped by a soft little hand, and her eyes became inexplicably moist.

A feeling of distress and sadness came over for no reason, as if she was really calling herself "mother".

However, her daughter is Wanwan, who happens to be staying in the palace right now.

It must be because Xibao is too annoying, or because after becoming a mother, she has become obsessed with the house and has no resistance to such a big little girl.

The queen mentally made excuses for her strange reaction.

"Xibao, can I hug you?"

Lin Xi nodded and reached out to her.

The queen held Xibao, who was wearing a pink skirt and was soft and waxy, into her arms. She felt her heart was so soft that she couldn't help but kiss her.

Lin Xi leaned in her arms, smelling the natural and fresh fragrance of her body, and her heart was inevitably touched.

This is her biological mother in this life.

Lin Wushang was surprised when he looked at Lin Xi, who was very close to the Queen.

This is the first time Lin Xi has been so close to an outsider.

Is it because the Queen is so gentle and kind?

The emperor watched with hot eyes. As a daughter slave, he simply couldn't resist such a soft and cute little girl.

But if he was asked to get close to the child like the queen, he couldn't do it.

I always feel a little sorry for Wanwan.

So he sat aside without saying a word, just watching the interaction between the Queen and Xi Bao.

Lin Wushang looked at the two children, one big and one small, and suddenly a strange idea came to his mind. The three of them, the Empress and Xibao, really looked like a family of three.

"An Niang."

The emperor reminded him, feeling that it was time to get to the point.

He then motioned to Lin Wushang to take Xibao down. After all, such a serious conversation was not suitable for a child to be present.

Lin Wushang pretended to take Lin Xi away, but Lin Xi hugged the queen's neck and refused to let go.

"If I don't leave, I want to be with An Niang." Being called by a little girl by Xibao's name directly, the queen was a little dumbfounded and felt heartbroken.

We had just known each other for a while, but Xibao was already so dependent on her.

She also hugged Xibao to prevent Lin Wushang from taking her away.

"Just leave Xibao here. Xibao is so good, he won't disturb our conversation, right?"

The last sentence was said to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi nodded her head seriously and waved her hands like a grown-up, "You guys can talk, I won't disturb you."

This small appearance makes people even more rare.

The queen couldn't help but lowered her head and kissed her again.

This child was so lovable that she wanted to adopt her as her adopted daughter.

The emperor cleared his throat and reminded the queen that enough was enough.

——An Niang, think about our Wanwan!
The queen felt guilty for a second, and then she was captured by the lovely Xibao again.

"An Niang, eat Guoguo." Lin Xi took a juicy jujube and handed it to the queen's mouth.

How could the queen refuse?

"Okay, thank you Xibao." He ate the date with a smile on his face and felt it was so sweet in his heart.

The emperor simply looked away, looked at Lin Wushang, and asked straight to the point: "Xiaojiu, how much cement is needed to build a post road from the capital to Yuezhou?"

Lin Wushang: "I have built a factory in Qingyuan County that specializes in the production of cement. It can currently produce two thousand kilograms of cement every day, and the production volume can increase in the future, so Uncle Wang doesn't have to worry about my lack of supply.

"I can provide you with as much as you want."

Two thousand kilograms per day!
The emperor gasped.

The queen who was playing with Xibao also raised her head in shock at this number.

What the two of them didn't know was that the number reported by Lin Wushang was still lower. In fact, the factory's current production capacity could reach three thousand kilograms per day.

If it is done day and night, five thousand kilograms will not be a problem.

Since the supply of raw materials is not a problem, the most critical issue comes.

Emperor: "How much do you want to price this cement?"

When asking the question, he stared at the young boy in front of him, fearing that he would open his mouth and tell a price that he could not afford.

Although he is an emperor and is nominally wealthy, he cannot buy things for nothing.

It was only less than three years since the founding of the country by Dayongcai. In order to stabilize the people's sentiments, he reduced and reduced many taxes, resulting in no much money in the national treasury.

But there are many places to spend money.

So he, the emperor, was really very poor.

The national treasury was empty, and his private treasury was also empty.

Lin Wushang told the price that he had already discussed with Lin Xi——

"for free."

Emperor: "What? No money? You want to give me so much cement for free?"

Lin Wushang: "Uncle Wang, of course I can't give it to you for free. Although I don't want money, I do want something else."

The emperor's heart, which was raised high, slowly fell back to its original position.

He just said, how could Lin Xiaojiu give him so much cement white.

Sigh, all his happiness was in vain.

The emperor rubbed the jade ring on his thumb with a serious look on his face: "What do you want me to give you in exchange?"

As long as it wasn't too much, he wouldn't be able to agree.

Lin Wushang took out a deed (contract) that he had already drawn up and presented it, "My requirements are all written down here. Please take a look first. If you have any questions, you can ask them at any time."

The emperor was surprised that this boy was really well prepared.

He opened the deed.

The Queen sat over with Xi Bao in her arms and looked at it together with him.
