Chapter 46 Staying at Yuhua Pavilion

The small garden in Yuhua Pavilion is not big. The masters were interested in digging sweet potatoes, but the servants did not dare to be idle. In less than an hour, almost all the sweet potatoes in the garden were dug out.

The little ones have all washed their hands and were eating roasted sweet potatoes.

Only Yongzheng's hands were stained with mud, and Chi Xia personally brought him water to wash his hands.

As soon as Yong Zheng raised his head, he saw a full moon reflected in the basin, with little bits of light. He couldn't help but smile: "The moonlight is very beautiful in the water."

The children were chattering, but Chi Xia didn't hear clearly. Just as he was about to ask again, he was interrupted by Hong Zhou's exaggerated praise of "It's really delicious!"

Su Peisheng had just received the order and called several young eunuchs to collect all the sweet potatoes on the ground and weigh them.

He happily came over and replied: "Your Majesty, the servants ordered some and collected a total of one hundred and twenty sweet potatoes of various sizes. Excluding the ones that Empress Zhao had just roasted, there are still more than two hundred kilograms."

Just two small flower beds produced an output of 200 kilograms.

He was worried that he had made a mistake after weighing just now, so he did the calculation again.

Chi Xia herself has no idea about this yield. It is actually her first time to grow sweet potatoes.

Concubine Yu on the side was surprised. She had studied housekeeping and entered the palace early. In her early years, she helped Fujin manage Prince Yong's village and knew the yield of conventional crops.

Hearing this number, he was really impressed. He hugged Hong Zhou and said, "Tian Shen, you are right. These sweet potatoes from your Lady Chi can really feed many people."

Hong Zhou seemed to understand but not quite.

Yongzheng washed his hands, picked him up and held him in his arms: "It is not easy for Concubine Yu to raise a child. The fifth elder brother is also smart and sensible, and he has been promoted to a higher position. Let's go with Concubine Zhao tomorrow to express gratitude to the queen."

Concubine Yu really knew that farmers worked hard to farm and it was common for them to have insufficient food during famine years, so she never thought of flattering Chi Xia, her new favorite.

I didn't expect that after telling the truth, such a good thing would happen to me. I was surprised and happy at the same time.

Yong Zheng smiled, patted Hong Zhou's belly, and handed the child back to her: "My belly is full. I'll ask your concubine to take you back to the palace to eat and rest."

This is what it means to stay at Yuhua Pavilion.

Chi Xia saw off all the concubines, princes and princesses. When she saw the big boss still standing in the yard, she was a little confused and blurted out: "You have to work overtime tonight?"

As the emperor's personal attendant, Su Peisheng knew that although the Zhao concubine had been "in bed" many times, she had actually been sitting across from the emperor at the desk in the middle of the night.

But he watched with clear eyes, and his master clearly had some thoughts tonight.

Just when Empress Zhaobi said these words, the smile in the master's eyes froze.

He did not dare to look at his master's face anymore and stood with his head bowed respectfully.

Yongzheng looked at Chi Xia and saw that she was holding a piece of roasted sweet potato in her hand and wanted to pass it to him.

He smiled and changed the topic naturally: "The Panchen Lama will arrive in the capital tomorrow. I want to see the Panchen Lama and prepare for the canonization. I may not be able to be at the Yangxin Hall."

"Okay," Chi Xia nodded: "Then I'll go and "check in" myself? I've already thought about the front page headlines of the third issue of Minbao. It's about the advent of generators and the promotion of new rice varieties in Jiangnan. Please ask Mr. Zhang to do it again

An analysis of Enke exam questions, there must be many college students rushing to buy it!"

After the two of them entered the house, they did not let anyone else wait on them. Yongzheng sat at the window. When he raised his head, he could see the moon and the faint fragrance of osmanthus drifting from a distance.

Yong Zheng nodded: "You do it first, and then you can show it to me before publishing it."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Chi Xia looked through the system and reported in surprise: "It actually has 2100 points. It's enough to draw twenty times. What do you want to draw?"

In the past few months, they have also completed several side tasks one after another and accumulated a wave of points.

Yong Zheng rubbed his forehead, helplessly looked back at the moon, and asked her: "What do you want to smoke?"

Chi Xia was a little delusional: "I want a camera. The show tonight is so beautiful, and the moonlight is also beautiful. If I can take a photo, I can also think of a way to make a limited edition newspaper with photos."

With the gimmick of real-life pictures of the royal palace banquet, there is no need to worry about the newspaper not selling well.

Yongzheng decided: "Smoke it."

Although he felt that with Chi Xia's luck, he might not be able to do what he wished for.

Chi Xia stretched out her hand that was ready to move, and had a bold idea: "You can smoke with me. Maybe we can turn things around!"

Yong Zheng held her hand and placed it within the circle of light she just released.

——Congratulations on your achievement: non-chieftain.

Chi Xia said "huh?" and opened her eyes to see that everything floating in the sky was filled with blue halo, not even a purple one.

More importantly, there are actually drawings of cameras and film!

There was also rubber refining technology that she had been looking for for a long time but could not find a specific refining method.

The rest are basically things that can be put into use after modification.

She jumped up directly: "Great! I promise never to touch the lottery pool in the future, and all the points will be donated to you for the draw!"

Yong Zheng looked at her sparkling eyes and felt for the first time that he might have the potential to be a foolish king. If she had made an even more outrageous request, under the moonlight, maybe he would have agreed.

He coughed: "Tomorrow you have to go to thank the Queen, so don't stay up late today and go to bed early."

Chi Xia didn't feel sleepy at all, so she said "hmm" perfunctorily: "You should also go to bed earlier."

As soon as Yongzheng left, he immediately took out the drawings.

I saw sleepiness rising in the middle of the night, so I turned over and fell asleep.

I suddenly realized that my behavior was a bit like that of a scumbag in my previous life. I said good night to my girlfriend and went to bed while playing games all night long.

****

It was a big event for Panchen Lama to come to Beijing and be granted a title by the Qing court.

Chi Xia didn't understand at first, and thought that Yongzheng said he was busy, which meant he was a little busier during the day, but he still had to approve things at night.

Unexpectedly, I haven't seen anyone from Yongzheng for several days in a row, and I am still not used to it.

During this period, I also heard a lot about the Panchen Lama.

This is no longer the person who "endorsed" Hongli and asked Kangxi to praise Niu Hulu in person.

On the day Kangxi died and the new emperor ascended the throne, the Panchen Lama was also reincarnated.

This time it was the new reincarnated Panchen Lama who came to Beijing to be ennobled.

It is said that this Panchen was only nine years old. He was tired all the way to Beijing and had to bathe and burn incense for three days before being conferred. Even though Yongzheng was the emperor, he had to accompany him.

Fortunately, today I finally completed my sealing and received a lot of rewards to prepare for my return journey.

Chi Xia met Su Peisheng in the Imperial Garden as he escorted the Panchen Lama's entourage out of the palace.

The leader was extremely tall, but ridiculously thin.

Miao Miao, the little gossip master, was startled. When a group of people walked over, she couldn't help but whisper: "Master, this is too scary. What are these people doing?"

Chi Xia only felt that the man's eyes were black, veins appeared on his hands, and he was a little uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw the royal gilt vase in the man's hand falling to the ground with a "bang".

He apologized and wanted to pick it up, but his hands and feet were so weak that they were trembling. The little eunuch beside him quickly held him up and kept him from falling to the ground.

The attendant shook his hands and tried to wipe the sweat from his head, but failed.

Chi Xia became more and more confused and signaled Miao Miao to be quiet and stopped.

Su Peisheng was also shocked: "Sir, are you okay? Do you want Dr. Xuan to take a look?"

The attendant waved his hands repeatedly, finally took out a handkerchief, wiped it on his face, took a deep breath, and instantly became more energetic.

Su Peisheng didn't pay attention and continued to lead him to the palace gate.

Chi Xia's heart was ringing with alarm bells.

There was something wrong with this person. He didn't look like he was sick, but he looked like the drug addicts in the warning movies she watched when she was a child!

Fourth Master: The moonlight is beautiful tonight.

Chi Xia: You won’t work overtime today, right?

Fourth Master stayed for a lonely night...
