Chapter 20 Kapok ()

He abused Yuan Chonghuan.

Yang Jing felt very accomplished.

If you have a sense of accomplishment, you will have a high ability.

At night, I was full of energy and tossed the queen, the little loli for half a night, overwhelmed the little loli.

The next day, I went to court and was very excited. After practicing singing poems by the ministers, I sang it so hard that I was so excited that I went to court early.

When she returned to Kunning Palace, the queen little loli had just gotten up and was sitting lazily in front of the dressing table to dress up. Several palace maids were serving her, and Yang Jie waved her hand, and several palace maids left tactfully.

When Yang Jie saw the back of the queen loli, he felt a warm heart. He hugged the queen loli from behind and hugged his beautiful body restlessly with his hands.

"Your Majesty, you... are...in broad daylight." The little queen loli was still ashamed. A hint of flush immediately appeared on her tender little face.

Yang Jie looked at the smooth and tender smile, and he could still hold back. He lowered his head and held the little mouth of the queen loli, and gave a deep kiss. The two little hands of the queen loli couldn't help but hugged Yang Jie's neck. Gradually, he had no strength to support him, so he had to rely on Yang Jie's hug and did not soften.

When Yang Jie finished his deep kiss, he realized that the queen little loli had her eyes half closed, and the mist was over her eyes, as if she was picking her.

Holding her hot body and looking at the little man in front of her, Yang Jie felt a sense of evil spirit in her abdomen.

The queen suddenly laughed, pushed Yang Jing away, blushed, and said, "Your Majesty, please spare me, haha, I know that the kapok flowers in the palace back garden are blooming today, and it is a good time to enjoy the flowers. Let's go and have a look."

After the queen interrupted, the evil spirit in Yang Jing's abdomen suddenly felt like he had connected a valve, and "swish" it was released.

"Kapok? It's blooming? It seems to be winter, right?" Yang Jing asked in surprise. In the eyes of the otaku, there is snow in winter. The snow outside has not melted yet, why are there flowers blooming? Could it be that the kapok blooming in winter like the cold plum?

The queen smiled and said, "There are several trees in the palace and the fire greenhouse that are maintained in the back garden. Kapok flowers are not easy to survive in the north."

Yang Jing was shocked: Greenhouse? This thing was found in the Ming Dynasty? I remember a novel used him to make money in the Qing Dynasty?

Yang Jing asked: "Queen, when did this greenhouse be available?"

"It has been in ancient Han Dynasty, both in Tang and Song Dynasties. The emperor can tell that 'White chorizo ​​cucumbers are rare on the market, and they suddenly feel glorious on the plate; at that time, there was peace and prosperity in the Qing Dynasty, and the Zhou people chanted and picked jade.' Which poet's poem was it?" the queen asked back.

"Whose poem? It seems to be about eating cucumbers? Could it be that? These cucumbers were cultivated in greenhouses for a long time?" Yang Jing was surprised. Whose poem was this? But at least it was definitely the ones before now. In other words, before the Ming Dynasty, cucumbers grown in greenhouses could be eaten.

"This is the "Cucumber" by Lu You and Lu Fangweng, a famous poet of the Southern Song Dynasty." The queen explained.

"Shrimp? Lu You's?" Yang Jie was still shocked. When he was studying, he learned Lu You's poem "The King's Day in the North of the Central Plains, and I never forgot to tell my husband about his family sacrifices." He still remembered it fresh. Unexpectedly, Lu You had eaten greenhouse cucumbers. In Yang Jie's memory, there was a time traveler who used greenhouse cucumbers to make a lot of money in the Qing Dynasty. It seems that relying on time travel novels to do things is not reliable!

Is it because of the different planes?

Yang Jie's thinking was chaotic and was dragged to the palace by the queen.

The palace back garden was specially cleaned. The stone slab floor was very clean, and several rows of potted plants were placed. The "small trees" planted in large pots were hung with colorful flowers. It was very beautiful.

In this "winter", Yang Jing felt particularly comfortable seeing such gorgeous flowers. He felt that this greenhouse technology was not built. He felt that he could also cultivate some cucumbers to eat, but now it is spring and there is no need to use a greenhouse.

Looking at the bright red kapok flowers, I remembered the greenhouse cultivation and ornamental plants, and the Poplar Reform recalled the historical legend that peppers were also introduced as ornamental plants at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Yang Jie suddenly felt aroused. He read the thing on a post himself, and this thing is very useful.

Well, that's right, Yang Jing is interested.

So, he asked, "Da Pei, who is responsible for this 'Prevent Palace'?"

Wang Chengen replied: "Go back to the emperor, he is the eunuch of the internal official and supervisor Zheng Huaizhong."

"Are you there?" Yang Jingwei asked and looked around to see if the eunuch in the Inner Supervision Office was around him.

Wang Chengen looked around and returned: "Go back to the emperor, I'm here. Do you want to ask him to come and see him?"

"Well, call him over here. I have something to ask him today."

"Yes, the emperor." After Wang Chengen agreed to the emperor, he turned around and ordered a small eunuch next to him. After listening to Wang Chengen's words, the little eunuch immediately bowed and walked away quickly.

After a while, an eunuch was attracted. He was wearing a regular dress, a black gauze hat, a tie-fitting shirt, and a Yunyan patch on his chest. He looked about forty or fifty years old, and his hair was also blue and white, and he looked like a kind elder.

"Long live my husband Zheng Huaizhong to see my emperor." Zheng Huaizhong had already knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to pay his respects.

"You are Zheng Huaizhong? Get up, I have something to ask you. By the way, the kapok you prepared for me is very beautiful, I like it." Yang Jing had a good first impression of Zheng Huaizhong. He looked amiable.

"I, Zheng Huaizhong, thanked His Majesty for his praise." After that, he got up.

"Zheng Huaizhong, well, you are very good at ornamental plants in the palace and the back garden? I can plant this kapok flower when I see you!"

"I... Go back to the emperor, I know this ornamental plant quite well and have raised a lot of strange flowers and plants." Zheng Huaizhong replied.

"Is that true? Zheng Huaizhong, I heard that there is a plant introduced from overseas, which seems to be called pepper. I wonder if you have seen it?" Pepper was introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty. It is now in the Chongzhen period. In the serious late Ming Dynasty, Yang Jing thought it could be tried, and see if there is such a thing in the palace of the Ming Dynasty.

"Back to the emperor, this 'chip'... I don't seem to have heard of it. I want to ask about the appearance and characteristics of this plant. Maybe I can know its alias." Zheng Huaizhong thought for a while and replied that Yang Jing did not, but serving the emperor was the only thing for the eunuchs. Therefore, it was very thoughtful and it didn't matter if he hadn't seen it. I quickly asked the emperor what the plant looked like and asked someone to get it back. Are you still afraid that the emperor would be unhappy? The emperor was happy! This eunuch would have face, and he could eat it in the palace, and the eunuch would not be in vain. It was worth the knife.

Yang Jie was discouraged when he had never heard of it, but he felt that Zheng Huaizhong was right. Maybe the name was different, and the same thing had different alias. Yang Jie also said: "This thing is probably born annually and not tall. It can grow about two or three feet long. The leaves are green and the fruit is about the thickness of a finger. At the beginning, the fruit is green, but when it matures, the fruit turns red. The fruit has spicy flavor, so it is called chili. There are several seeds in the fruit, which are similar to cakes, but very small."

Yang Jing tried hard to recall what the chili peppers he had eaten were like and described everything he knew. However, Zheng Huaizhong still did not give him a positive answer.

Zheng Huaizhong thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I've never seen this plant, but I'll send someone to search for it. If it's true as the emperor said, it should be found soon."

Yang Jingwei was very disappointed. It seems that this pepper still needs to be searched for!

"Oh...is it? That's a pity." Yang Jing looked sad.

When Zheng Huaizhong saw the emperor's expression of regret, he made up his mind and immediately sent someone to search for it. He also wanted to find something called "chili". What is my internal officials doing for food? To put it bluntly, the biggest "business" is to help the emperor find those strange flowers, plants and rare treasures.

Back then, the idol of our eunuch world, Sanbao eunuch Zheng He, was doing the official position of the internal official supervisor, and was doing the business of finding rare treasures and strange flowers and plants for the emperor. He also led a fleet to travel overseas to spread his power for the emperor. What a glorious thing that was. It has always been the pride and role model of our eunuchs. I must work hard and perform well in front of the emperor. In the future, I will not be sure to do the same job as Sanbao eunuch. It is not a secret that the emperor likes overseas style!

Thinking of this, Zheng Huaizhong felt excited and full of high fighting spirit. He secretly set a goal for himself and must find "chili".

It was a pity that Yang Jing did not find Chili, but he never thought that there was a eunuch in his palace who was the second eunuch who became "Zheng He" and the "Three Treasures Eunuch". If you know, you will definitely sigh that the world is so big that it is full of wonders.

The interest in visiting was gone, and Yang Jie and the Queen were about to return to the palace. On the way, the Queen asked Yang Jie: "Master, how did you know about this "chili pepper"?" Empress Zhou was very interested in Yang Jie's clear knowledge of chili peppers.

Yang Jing was very angry. He never thought that Chongzhen in history was a "otaku" who rarely left the Forbidden City and the imperial palace. He was an otaku who was even more "otaku" than himself. It was a bit unreasonable to say that he knew this "pepper".

Yang Jing could only talk nonsense: "Haha... I have also heard that it should have been introduced from overseas. It is said that people grow this thing in the south. It is said that this thing can drive away rheumatism. I think in the humid areas of the south, it should help my people drive away rheumatism, so I asked, but I am not very clear about it!"

The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Zheng Huaizhong, who had not yet walked away, happened to hear the conversation between the emperor and the queen. He learned that the emperor asked about the pepper for the sake of the people affected by the moisture in the south. He thought that this emperor was really a good emperor! A saint lord and wise king! He made up his mind to find the "pepper" to help the emperor relieve his worries.

Overseas? Nanyang?
