Chapter 425 Abusive Princess (4)
"Uh, no, I'm leaving the palace."

"Since you want the palace, let's go out earlier, this king has something to do with the emperor," He Liancheng glanced at him, then pulled Mu Xiang into the palace.

Tang Mo touched his nose resentfully.I heard that they are going to hold a banquet, hehe, they are going to have a banquet...

Because it was evening, the Ziyuan Palace was very quiet.

A thick blanket was spread on the mirror-smooth floor.

The furnishings in the hall are all high-quality goods, and they are priceless.

The chief eunuch led the two of them through a corridor, opened a mahogany door, and said to them in a low voice: "The emperor has approved the memorial all afternoon, and he has just rested. Your Highness, King Xiang, please keep your voice down. The emperor has been restless recently. , finally fell asleep, don't wake him up."

He Liancheng nodded slightly, pulled Mu Xiang in and went in.

The temple is lit with sandalwood, the simple and unsophisticated aroma can calm one's mind, but to truly calm one's mind, it is not enough to rely on this incense alone.

He Liancheng took Mu Xiang and took her to sit cross-legged outside the screen, and on the low table in front of him was a scented tea that wafted from the heat.

Because they were afraid of disturbing the emperor's sleep, neither of them spoke.

He Liancheng showed the tea to Mu Xiang, and after smelling it, it was really good tea, a century-old tea tree that grows on the cliff, attracts the essence of the sun and moon, receives the sun in the morning, and sends away the sunset at the latest.

Only under such conditions can the best and rarest Tianxiang tea be bred.

There was a legend that this tea was only for the gods in the sky, and mortals were not blessed to enjoy it. Therefore, when Tianxiang tea was harvested every year, the top of the cliff was shrouded in clouds and fog all day long.

Mu Xiang never knew that He Liancheng's movements of making tea would be so good-looking, smooth and flowing, wanton and smooth, without looking at the tea, just watching his movements of holding the pot is already intoxicating.

Tianxiang Tea deserves such a high-end name.

When the spring water with a moderate temperature is mixed into the tea leaves, a light and refreshing aroma will be released.

"It's beautiful!" Mu Xiang couldn't help admiring.He ignored where he was, and also ignored the person sleeping on the couch inside, but he was the emperor of the Southern Jin Kingdom.

"Who's here?" A calm and low voice came from the screen, accompanied by the sound of getting dressed.

The chief eunuch seemed to have a pair of tails. As soon as the emperor moved, he immediately stepped in, "Your majesty, you have only slept for a while, why are you up?"

He Liancheng stood up and bowed to the screen, "This is the minister who brought his wife to meet the emperor!"

"Well, wait a moment, I will come out in a moment."

"According to the order!"

When He Liancheng faced the emperor, he was still very respectful. I'm afraid that in the whole Southern Jin Dynasty, he still had little respect for the emperor.

A moment later, Wang Hai, the chief eunuch, helped an elder in a yellow robe and walked out from behind the screen.

Mu Xiang stood aside with He Liancheng, not looking up at the emperor.

The old emperor glanced at the woman standing next to Gong Cheng, she seemed to look pretty good, she didn't seem like a village girl, no different from the rich ladies in the capital.

"Are you Muxiang?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the girl is right," Mu Xiangfu saluted, her attitude was still her style, neither humble nor overbearing.

Tang Huang smiled with satisfaction. She is a very stable girl, and she looks good. Apart from her ordinary background, she seems to be able to find no other faults. "Sit down and talk, Wang Hai, and go get another thermos."

"Yes," Wang Hai bowed and stepped back.

He Liancheng took Mu Xiang and sat back in his original seat, and gave Tang Huang a cup of tea that he had just brewed.

"This is just brewed by the minister, please the emperor taste it!"

"Oh? If you are willing to make tea, then I must taste it," Tang Huang sat cross-legged on the soft cushion of the main seat, picked up the teacup He Liancheng handed over, first smelled it, and then tasted it.

A series of actions, the people who watched were anxious.

Mu Xiang is used to the days of turmoil, seeing the old emperor like this even for a cup of tea, she finally understood why the old emperor couldn't sleep well, and the food didn't taste good.

The purpose of He Liancheng bringing Mu Xiang here is not only to make tea for the emperor, "Your Majesty, the matter of improving farm tools that I mentioned to you in the early court was Madam's idea. Madam has to say it herself, so I brought her to see you."

Emperor Tang put down his teacup, raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Xiang, "Is your name Mu Xiang? But the Mu family in the Mu family business in the capital?"

Mu Xiang shook her head, her eyes were cold, "No, Minnv is not from the same family as the Mu family, nor has any relationship with them. Regarding the matter of farm tools, it is only because Minnv lived among the people since she was a child, so she naturally knows a little about farming."

Tang Huang chuckled, "Since you are Helian's princess, you don't have to be formal with me. You always call yourself a woman of the people. It sounds awkward to me. Tell me how to improve the farm tools? And the cattle, Helian didn't go into details. I'd like to hear what you think."

Seeing the old emperor, Mu Xiang didn't seem to be as rigid as she imagined, so she relaxed completely, took a sip of tea, and talked with him.

"As for the cattle farming, after I went back, I thought about it again and felt that setting up a cattle farm is the most feasible way. Ordinary farmers may not be able to raise cattle, but we can encourage powerful horse farms to let them expand and vacate Some of the farms are used to raise cattle, but the distribution of the cattle farms must be even.”

"Evenly distributed? Do you mean spreading them out?" She said seriously, and Tang Huang listened seriously. He is a very studious student.

On the contrary, He Liancheng was left alone, clinging to the teapot, adding tea to Mu Xiang.

Holding the teacup, Mu Xiang leaned against He Liancheng, and said slowly: "That's what it means. Once there are more beef cattle, the price of cattle will naturally drop. This is comparable to the government lending money to farmers to buy cattle." In a few years, if conditions permit, horses can be used to plow the fields. The same method of popularization depends on which one is more popular with farmers. In addition, farm tools also need to be improved."

Mu Xiang carefully recalled the old-fashioned farm tools she saw in the museum in her previous life, and asked the eunuch for a pen and paper to draw the new-style farm tools.

"Your Majesty, if you don't mind, I would like to have these things made first, and then spread them to the tenants of the palace for trial use. If there is no problem, then spread them to other places in the Southern Jin Kingdom."
