Lu Chenan waited in the busy city for two hours before he saw Prince Che's carriage coming back.
Seeing the carriage heading towards Yunxi Restaurant, he quickly asked his subordinates to take a seat on the second floor.
When Wen Jinhe and Li Junche went up the stairs, Lu Chenan happened to come downstairs.
And he also touched Wen Jinhe's sleeve.
Seeing Lu Chenan's face, Wen Jinhe's eyes met and they missed each other tacitly.
Sitting in the box, Wen Jinhe stared at Lu Chenan who was shopping at the window on the first floor, "Zhao Bi, keep an eye on the man in the blue robe downstairs. Don't alert him."
Zhao Bi was confused, "Princess, is there anything wrong with that person?"
Wen Jinhe glanced at Li Junche, "Does the prince see the problem?"
Li Junche took a look and said: "Looking at his clothes, he should not be short of money. His location is on the second floor. He could order food and have the waiter bring it to him, but he went down to buy it himself, and there were two attendants in the crowd. Do you know the princess?”
There was a hint of understanding in Wen Jinhe's eyes, no wonder Wen Xianyue couldn't wait to destroy her appearance, "That is Lu Chenan, the eldest son of Xuanwu Marquis of Linyue Kingdom, Wen Xianyue's chosen husband."
"Is he targeting you?" He purposely passed by him when he was going downstairs just to attract Wen Jinhe's attention.
Wen Jinhe curled his lips, "Everyone in the wedding party is dead, including Xi Zuo, who was sent by Wen Yanru. He is coming towards me."
Li Junche: "They must have known about Beidi's recruitment. Lu Chenan is here to inquire about the news."
There was this face in Wen Jinhe's memory. The original owner was doubly tortured by Wen Xianyue just because he looked at it one more time.
Because of the life-saving grace, the original Wen Jinhe developed a slight affection for him, which eventually dissipated in pain.
In my own opinion, this person appears to be a gentleman, but in fact he is lustful, passionate and only interested in profit.
"Marquis Xuanwu holds a lot of troops in the Linyue Kingdom. Lu Chenan is his legitimate son. If you make good use of it, you can cause a lot of trouble. As long as his head can be delivered to Wen Xianyue in the end, the prince will arrange the rest."
Beidi Kingdom did not attack Linyue Kingdom until two years later, and Wen Jinhe did not mind a little revenge in advance.
"My king understands and will do as you wish." Li Junche has always been merciless to the spies sent by the enemy, not to mention Wen Jinhe's words.
Before leaving, Wen Jinhe glanced specifically at Lu Chenan, who obviously smiled back.
Li Junche saw it in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, does Princess Jinhe recognize you?" Lu Chenan's personal guard whispered.
Lu Chenan's eyes were full of pride, "Right, keep an eye on Prince Che's Mansion, and news will come out soon."
After returning to the palace, Li Junche asked Murong Nie, "How much do you know about Lu Chenan, the eldest son of Marquis Xuanwu of Linyue Kingdom?"
Murong Nie frowned and said, "Marquis Xuanwu and we have fought several times, but his son really doesn't know."
"Lu Chenan has arrived in the city. I met him at Yunxi Restaurant today. He came to find out information from the princess. Zhao Bi is watching. Go and find out how many people he has brought with him this time."
Judging from today's performance, the two should know each other.
Murong Nie stared at Li Junche and nodded, "I obey."
Wen Jinhe sat back on the couch and said, "Tomorrow Man Dong and He Shi will go to the farm. The court may send someone over. You two should keep an eye on them."
"My slave understands."
The next morning at court, Li Junche stood up in front of all the civil and military officials in the court and said, "Father, I have two things that I would like you and all the civil and military officials to take a look at."
The emperor and the Manchu officials were puzzled as to what should be shown to them in the morning court?
"What is it?"
Li Junche replied: "It's two kinds of food, food that my father has never eaten."
"Oh, I haven't eaten it before, so it's strange. Bring it up."
Li Junche immediately asked people to bring roasted sweet potatoes and roasted corn up, and asked people to give two to everyone present.
Looking at the things that Hui Pu Pu had obviously pulled out from the ashes of the fire, no one present made a move.
Li Zhilin stood up and accused: "Second Emperor Brother, this thing is so dirty, how can you feed it to your father?"
Li Junche looked at the emperor and demonstrated, "Father, just tear off the outer skin and you can eat it."
In front of everyone, he took a bite.
Naturally, the emperor would not deny Li Junche this little face. After the eunuch checked that it was non-toxic, he took a small bite.
After chewing it, he praised: "The aroma is fragrant, with a fragrant smell of earth. What is this?"
"Father, these are sweet potatoes and corn. I specially let the courtiers taste them in the morning because they can not only be eaten as staple food, but also have a high yield."
Li Junche's words successfully focused everyone's attention on him.
Staple food.
High Yield.
Those two words were like a fist suddenly hitting their temples.
Shangshu Ling immediately stood up, "Is what the prince said true? How high is the output?"
Li Junche: "Of course, yesterday the King of Japan personally watched the farmers harvesting in the princess's farm. The yield of corn was 13 shi per acre and the sweet potato yield was 32 shi."
Emperor Li Jingxing stood up from the dragon chair, his heart beating faster in his chest, "In Princess Che's farm?"
"Yes, Father, Jin He accidentally discovered corn and sweet potatoes. After careful cultivation, they planted ten acres of each. I didn't expect the yield to be so high."
The Minister of Revenue immediately rejected it: "Such a high output is impossible. It must be a false report."
The yields of rice and wheat are only small, and it is impossible to have such high yields of food.
The words of the Minister of Hube were also the thoughts of many people present.
Li Junche turned around and stared at the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, "The princess's farm is still harvesting today. The Ministry of Revenue can send someone to check."
The emperor couldn't wait to say to the Minister of Household Affairs: "Immediately send someone to check, and then report the output as soon as possible."
Li Yuheng and Li Zhilin looked at Li Junche, their brows furrowed.
If the matter is true, this contribution is greater than the sky.
Li Jingxing sat down and immediately asked the eunuch to bring over two more sweet potatoes and corn.
This is to wait until the people from the Ministry of Revenue come back.
None of the courtiers dared to have any objections and began to taste the sweet potatoes and corn seriously.
Like wheat and rice, it's easy to fill up.
If the output is really as Prince Che said, then the simple head is a sacred object.
The people from Hubu rushed to the farm in the north of the city as quickly as possible.
Looking at the farmers still working in the fields.
Man Dong and He Shi walked towards them.
"My lords, we are sent by Princess Che to receive you. The seventh acre of sweet potato and corn fields will be harvested soon."
When the people from the Ministry of Revenue heard that it was the people from the palace, they consciously corrected their attitude, "You go and do your work. After harvesting, we will weigh and record it and report it to the emperor."
In the court, Li Yuheng chewed the rough corn kernels in his mouth, "As a princess, how can my second brother's princess be good at farming?"
Li Junche looked at Li Yuheng, "Jinhe often played with things in the palace. She said that as a princess who lives on the salary of the common people, she should understand the suffering of all people."
In the cornfield.
"There are actually ten stones."
"Sir, there are thirty-three stones here." In the sweet potato field, the people from the household department shouted loudly.
The minister of household affairs quickly mounted his horse and rushed to the palace.
He staggered and trotted into the court hall, "Your Majesty, I am very happy. God bless Beidi. The yield of sweet potatoes and corn per acre is indeed what Prince Che said, or even more."
The emperor stood up again in surprise and hurriedly walked several times in the hall, "A divine thing has been sent from heaven. My people in Beidi are blessed."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, may the heaven send you good fortune and bless me in Beidi."
All civil and military officials knelt on the ground to announce the good news to the emperor.
Li Jingxing suddenly turned around and stared at Li Junche with shining eyes, "Princess Che'er has made such a great contribution, and I want to reward you heavily. I decree that Princess Che will be given ten thousand taels of gold, thirty boxes of silk and satin, and a gold medal to avoid death... "
The emperor was so happy that he was rewarded so much that he blurted out a series of rewards in dozens of sentences.
Li Junche clasped his hands and bent down, "I would like to thank my father for the reward on behalf of the princess."
Li Jingxing calmed down and gave the order to the Minister of Household Affairs: "Purchase the sweet potato and corn seeds from Princess Che, ask for advice on how to cultivate and plant them, and try planting them in the capital first."
The Minister of Hubu said: "We will obey the order."
"The third prince will stay, and the others will withdraw from the court."
Arriving at the Imperial Study Room, Li Jingxing was still feeling a little uneasy, "Che'er, are these two divine objects, corn and sweet potato, really discovered by Princess Jinhe?"
Li Junche nodded, "Yes, Jinhe opened a Yunxi Restaurant in the city. She has cultivated many vegetables that I have never eaten before."
"Hahaha, Wen Yanru has given us a lucky star." The least favored daughter was so talented, but was abandoned and sent to Beidi Kingdom. The emperor of Linyue Kingdom was too stupid to shorten his head.
Li Jingxing's prejudice against Wen Jinhe disappeared immediately with the birth of sweet potatoes and corn.
If Wen Jinhe was really a craftsman sent by Linyue Kingdom, it would be impossible to bring out such a divine object.
Now she not only took it out, but also asked Li Junche to report it to the court. She has no feelings for Linyue Kingdom!
