Zhao Yu opened one or two memorials and read them, then threw them back, raised his eyebrows at the crown prince Zhao Chu and said, "That's all?"

"What? Not enough?"

“It can be more.”

The two brothers looked at each other because of these words, and Zhao Chu's expression slightly calmed down and gradually began to ponder.

Zhao Yu didn't urge him, but sat lazily and tasted a new pastry from the East Palace. He thought it tasted pretty good. He could ask for a recipe for snacks later to go back for Rong Jingqiu. I remember that she always likes to study some food.

The next day, the emperor saw the pile of notes against the water conservancy project proposed by Zhao Yu, frowned so much that he could kill several flies. He threw the notes in his hand back without moving and said to the eunuch beside him, "Stay at home and don't send them."

The eunuch responded quickly and said "yes", his eyes fell on the memorials, but he had a lot of speculation in his heart. However, he had been with the emperor for most of his life and had been in this position. He had already set a benchmark in his heart what he could do and what he could not do. It seemed that the seventh prince's money was very hot and could not be taken away.

Rong Jingqiu didn't know anything about the subtle changes in the palace. He was very happy to pull Zhao Yu, who was in the autumn, to pick lotus pods in the lotus pond in the mansion, and then fed them to Zhao Yu, who looked comfortable next to him, and asked, "Is it sweet?"

"It's still a little short." Zhao Yu tasted the taste quite seriously.

Rong Jingqiu also tried several seriously, then nodded, "It seems that the season has not yet arrived yet, and it is a month later..."

As he was talking, maybe Xiaozhou was approaching the direction of the Seventh Prince's Mansion and heard the joy of the guests there. Recently, he often heard it, so he glanced at the leisurely Zhao Yu, "The guest is in the guest next door again."

Zhao Yu didn't even raise his eyebrows and refused to comment on the matter about the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

Rong Jingqiu didn't say much, signaling Feng Debao to take the boat in another direction. She saw a big lotus pod. In fact, when Zhao Yu looked calm, she felt relieved just now, and she was afraid that Zhao Yu would not be able to calm down.

The higher the seventh prince jumps, the worse the future will fall. There is a saying that goes, seeing him rise up a tall building, seeing him entertain guests, and seeing his building collapse, the seventh prince's current actions are fully interpreting this sentence.

She picked a lot of lotus seeds in one breath, but she could have a lotus seed banquet. She asked Zhao Yu casually what dishes she wanted to eat. Zhao Yu smiled and replied, "What do you cook, what do I eat."

When Rong Jingqiu heard this, she approached him and said, "You can take poison as well?"

Zhao Yu reached out and stroked her tender face, then kissed her red lips, and finally said softly, "As long as you feed me, I will accept everything."

Rong Jingqiu was originally gasping for a while, but when she heard this, her heartbeat couldn't help but beat quickly. She couldn't tell whether Zhao Yu was making her happy.

She looked up at him, trying to see his heart.

However, Zhao Yu lowered his head and kissed her lips again. In the lotus bushes, he only saw her.

As the two were getting deeper, they heard a voice from the shore, "Your Highness, Your Majesty sent an order to summon him."

This voice interrupted the good times of the two. Zhao Yu looked depressed, but Rong Jingqiu chuckled. Seeing that he was still unwilling, she had to push him nudge, "Hurry up, your Majesty will not wait for anyone."

I have not seen this emperor's father-in-law many times, but I know that my heart is unpredictable and it is difficult to disobey.

Zhao Yu then instructed Feng Debao to row the boat to the shore. He took the lead and then reached out to Rong Jingqiu who was still in the boat. Rong Jingqiu carried a basket with a lot of lotus seeds and held Zhao Yu's hand to the shore.

After changing his clothes, Zhao Yu explained a few words to Rong Jingqiu, and then he was about to leave and enter the palace, but Rong Jingqiu stopped him.

Rong Jingqiu stuffed the basket with a lot of lotus seeds into Zhao Yu's arms, "Although it was picked a little earlier, it was still a fresh product. Let's take it to His Majesty to try it out."

Zhao Yu frowned and said, "I took this thing to the emperor, and it would be strange if I saw it."

Rong Jingqiu smiled and said, "Isn't it a big deal for many gifts? If you annoy Your Majesty and he wants to slander you, at least you will lose your temper when you see that you gave me a gift."

Zhao Yu just laughed twice, feeling that his wife was too naive.

However, he did not mean to go against her. He really carried the basket and left. Anyway, he would throw it into the carriage later.

Rong Jingqiu smiled and sent him out of the mansion. When the carriage drove away, she turned around and went back.

Lin An smiled from the side, "Miss is really grown up."

"What do you mean?" Rong Jingqiu raised her eyebrows and looked over.

"Although Your Majesty is the emperor, he is also a human being, and he is even a father. No father in the world wants his son to care about him." Lin An said.

The girl's basket of lotus seeds may really touch the itchy part of His Majesty. In short, from her perspective, it will be no harm.

Rong Jingqiu smiled. In fact, she didn't think so much, but suddenly she felt that the lotus seeds tasted good, so she asked Zhao Yu to bring them up. However, it was reasonable for Lin An to think so. She remembered that when she gave Rong Jin's food, she looked happy, and the truth might be the same.

No matter what, she didn't want Zhao to be scolded by that supreme father-in-law.

The carriage drove into the palace. When Zhao Yu got off the carriage, he glanced at the basket of fresh lotus seeds in the corner of his eyes. Thinking of Rong Jingqiu's smile, he lifted it up by chance.

Then a strange scene appeared, and the handsome and innocent Ninth Prince walked on the palace avenue with an ordinary basket. Many palace maids and eunuchs looked at each other secretly, thinking that the image of the Ninth Prince was quite novel.

Today is a holiday, and there are not many officials waiting to be received by the emperor. When Zhao Yu arrived, he was directly entered into the imperial study without waiting too much.

There was no one else in the imperial study room, only the emperor lay bent on the bed of the arhat to read the memorial, his expression as usual, and he could not see any emotion.

"My son has met my father, and my father is blessed with all his blessings."

Hearing Zhao Yu's voice, the emperor looked up at him and said lightly, "Hmm" and saw that the unpleasant son was carrying an ordinary basket. He looked at the basket curiously, "Why did you bring a blue ball in?"

Zhao Yu then remembered that he was still holding the basket in his hand, with a slightly surprised expression, and then he quickly adjusted again. He handed the basket in his hand to the eunuch who was serving the emperor, but he answered the emperor's words, "I am picking lotus seeds in my mansion today, and the prince's concubine said that she could bring some to her father to try it out."

The emperor was slightly embarrassed when he heard this. He had received many valuable gifts in his life, but no one had ever given him some ordinary food. He subconsciously looked at the basket in the eunuch's hand.

Zhao Yu was actually quite uncomfortable, and he was really terrified. He brought these to the emperor. He was about to say something to save him, but he heard the emperor say, "Is that so? Then I will taste the taste of these fresh lotus seeds."

The eunuch who served the emperor hurriedly said, "I'll wash a plate now." Even if the things that were given to the emperor were offered by the prince, they had to go through a lot of inspections and tests of the poison.

Zhao Yu looked at Zhang Jinxi, who was about the same fat as Feng Debao, and then took the basket and retreated. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled slightly. Rong Jingqiu's sudden stroke seemed to have an unexpected effect.

Not long after, Zhang Jinxi came in with a small exquisite plate. The color of blue and white porcelain made the lotus seeds more refreshing and delicious. The emperor tasted a few with great face. It seemed that it was still a while away. But after looking at the son who looked at the nose and the nose, this was the first son who remembered to be filial to me. It made his Longxin happy and generously gave Rong Jingqiu a lot of money.

With this short episode buffer, the emperor's expression became much lighter, and he gave Zhao Yu a seat, and then said, "What are your detailed plans for the water conservancy project? I want to hear it, but I am here to give you a briefing. The Ministry of Revenue has no money to support this project."

It sounds like I don't agree, but if I can give you an opportunity to explain, I'm half successful, and Zhao Yu is not disappointed at all. This is all expected.

"Father, it doesn't matter if the Ministry of Revenue has no money, those big businesses have money in their hands."

Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at his son, "Are you going to take out their money bag?"

"They have no choice but to share the worries of the country." Zhao Yu said seriously.

The emperor laughed, laughing at his son's innocence. Those businesses are profit-seekers who do not spit out their bones. Who would be willing to pay for money?

"What are you going to do?"

Zhao Yu had thought of a solution early on, but he said seriously, "When the father and the emperor wrote to the family of good deeds, there must be eight big words Yuqing. Whoever donated a certain amount of money can get a plaque. This is a gift from the emperor, and I believe they will flock to it."

When the emperor heard this, he sat up straight. He first stared at the son with a fierce look, but then he thought of the financial difficulties and the situation of severe droughts and the situation of losing harvests in various places, he sat back lazily again.

"You talk about it in detail."

Zhao Yu was not afraid of the emperor's actions. He was suspected of selling emperor's calligraphy, but the royal products were produced by the emperor, so those people would not be moved. How could they not be moved by the invisible benefits that can be obtained by asking such a plaque back?

So, he told him out one by one.

The conversation between the father and son lasted for an afternoon, which made the officials waiting for the summoned outside look slightly, and then the people who were staring at the action also hurried back to report.

The queen was discussing the arrangements for the wedding with the prince, and when she heard the news, she immediately frowned.

However, the prince gently waved the little eunuch who reported the news, "The queen mother does not need to worry, I know the matter of the father and the ninth brother's discussion..."

"Then why don't you go in with me?" The queen was unhappy about this point. The recent arrogant behavior of the seventh prince made her unhappy, and this son didn't know that the crisis had arrived, which made her even more worried. "After a big thousand-year-old, a seventh prince came. Don't let that little bastard climb onto your head in the future..."

The prince didn't like to hear the queen's words, but he said unhappily, "Mother, the ninth brother is also the father's child..."

"Who knows?" the queen interrupted her son mockingly, "I see that your father is just confused. A little bastard like this should be sent to guard the imperial tomb..."

The prince became more outrageous when he heard the queen talk, and his eyebrows became tighter. Since the last time he failed to deal with Rong Jingqiu, his mother seemed to be crazy and became more mean to Zhao Yu.

"My mother, there are ears in the partition walls, aren't you afraid that this will reach the ears of the father?"

The queen glanced at her son sharply, but finally closed her mouth. She could make people stare at the imperial study, but it was hard to guarantee that the emperor would not put eyeliners on her.

On the other side, the Seventh Prince's residence, when the servant came in to report secretly, the Seventh Prince immediately waved unhappily to ask him to retreat. The people here were his confidants, and he told him what the emperor had had to do with Zhao Yu for the afternoon without hiding it.

An aide immediately said, "Your Highness, this is not a wonderful thing..."

"Oh, how do you say it?" said the Seventh Prince. He also felt that things seemed to be out of control. It was too smooth recently, so he relaxed his vigilance.

"We just wrote a letter to oppose the water conservancy project proposed by the Ninth Prince, but now His Majesty has been talking to the Ninth Prince for so long. Wouldn't it be invisible that we disagree with our opposition? This is a big problem..."

The Seventh Prince also had a little shadow in his heart, but he did not realize that his actions were actually against the emperor's taboo.

Unexpectedly, just two days later, the emperor was furious and scolded the seventh prince for forming cliques for personal gain in person. This made the seventh prince kneeling on the ground so scared that he broke out in cold sweat and kept kowtowing and apologizing.

The hot seventh prince was immediately poured with a basin of cold water, which made the people in the court stunned.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Qi retreated his servant who reported the letter, and then looked at his daughter Qi Aoer, "What do you think?"

Qi Aoer knew the princes' dynamics very well, but she didn't expect that the seventh prince had just jumped around and was beaten back to his original form. "I thought I was going to produce a seven thousand years old, it turned out to be made of paper."

On the contrary, Zhao Yu was impressive, "The water conservancy project of the Ninth Prince is not bad, it is just too expensive and time-consuming. Can he really raise money with this trick? Which of those big merchants is willing to vomit blood?"

"You don't think well?"

Qi Aoer shook her head, "It's not that I don't think it's good, but that it's difficult to implement it."

Prime Minister Qi just smiled, not responding to his daughter, nor scolding her.

In the following two days, the Bo family's son from Jiangnan wrote a letter to express his support for the emperor to repair the water conservancy project, and the Bo family was willing to invest 500,000 taels of silver.

The Bo family is not only a scholarly family in Jiangnan, but also a big businessman there. This move was a big deal, and many followers immediately followed, and this matter was instantly hyped.

Rong Jingqiu has always been paying attention to the progress of this matter, but she did not expect that the first person to respond would be Bo Jingran. When she heard the news, she accidentally broke the blue and white porcelain tea cup in her hand.

"Miss, did you get hurt?" Lin An hurriedly stepped forward to look at Rong Jingqiu's hand.

Mei'er asked her to clean up the broken porcelain pieces.

Rong Jingqiu felt that the tips of her fingers were cold, and when Lin An held her, she felt a little warmth.

"Wumbleman, I'm fine."

She shook her head, a question arose in her heart, and her expression gradually became serious.

When Zhao Yu returned home, he saw Rong Jingqiu sitting waiting for him. Seeing that she looked wrong, he stepped forward and held her hand, "What's wrong?"

Rong Jingqiu looked up at him, her eyes fixed, as if she wanted to see through him, which made him frown. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard her say, "Is Bo Jingran yours?"
