Yin Qingxuan raised her head, and a handsome face came into view.

He quickly wiped his tears and stood up, forcing a smile.

"Brother guard, you are here."

There were tears on her eyelashes, and she looked pitiful.

Ye Jingyu frowned slightly, looking at the tearful eyes, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"I'm asking you, who is giving you a hard time?"

Yin Qingxuan sniffed and said, "No one is making things difficult for me. It's me who misses home."

Ye Jingyu snorted and said, "If you are so in love with your family, why would you go to the palace?"

Yin Qingxuan laughed dryly and said: "There are always many unavoidable options in life. Brother guard, have you brought me any meat?"

Ye Jingyu's eyes darkened slightly.

"Didn't your Qionghua Pavilion get a reward from the emperor?"

"Uh……"

Could it be that the emperor sent the meat to Qionghua Pavilion?

Ye Jingyu asked again: "Doesn't your master give you any meat or vegetables?"

"Well... our master can't eat meat. Even if we share it with the slaves, it's only a tiny bit. It's not enough to eat. Brother guard, you should bring me some meat next time so that I can cook it secretly. ."

Yin Qingxuan was talking nonsense, but in her heart she was thinking that this guard could actually talk to the emperor, so he must be a very big official. Unexpectedly, he accidentally caught a big fish.

He quickly took out the meat buns he made from his arms.

"Brother guard, I have nothing to honor you. I asked my mother outside the palace to make this for me. It's still hot. You can eat one while it's hot."

Yin Qingxuan opened the oil-paper bag and looked at the entrance of Chongwu Hall not far away. There were two door-god-like guards looking at it. She felt bad and closed the paper bag again.

She glanced around, grabbed Ye Jingyu's sleeve, and walked quickly to the right.

There is a small pond over there that no one disturbs.

He said: "My mother didn't make a few, and your colleagues saw it, and you have to share it with them. Let's go over there and eat it."

Ye Jingyu had no interest in the contents of the oil paper bag.

What good things can ordinary people make?

But this bold little eunuch is quite interesting.

It's the only other fun besides snow.

While thinking about it, Yin Qingxuan had already stopped.

She pointed to the stone platform beside her and said, "This place is remote and few people come here. Let's just sit here and eat."

The stone platform is not big and can only seat two people.

Yin Qingxuan sat on the left side and patted the free space.

Ye Jingyu was a little disgusted.

Yin Qingxuan had already taken out a bun and handed it over.

A pair of clear eyes smile like two small crescent moons.

"These are called steamed buns, stuffed with meat, and they're delicious."

Ye Jingyu's eyes widened slightly.

What is this?

He has never seen it before?

Seeing that he didn't answer, Yin Qingxuan understood immediately.

Probably because he was afraid of poisoning himself.

She raised her lips and said, "Don't worry, I will continue to do business with you. How could I poison you? If you don't believe it, I'll eat one first."

It just so happened that she wasn't full yet.

He took out a bun, broke it in half, and took a bite. A tangy meat aroma spread in the air.

Ye Jingyu's stomach suddenly growled uncontrollably.

He only had two meals a day and had to review memorials until midnight, which made him hungry.

Yin Qingxuan picked up the bun and waved it in front of his eyes, and said proudly: "It smells good."

With that said, he handed over the other side.

Ye Jingyu hesitated for a moment and reached out to take it.

After taking a bite, my mouth was filled with the aroma of meat, which was even more delicious than those three delicacies of seafood.

Watching Ye Jingyu chewing his food carefully and seeming to eat with gusto, Yin Qingxuan broke off half of it and handed it to him.

Ye Jingyu took a bite and suddenly said in a deep voice: "There has been a famine in the world recently. In order to help the people, the palace has been frugal on food and clothing. How can you and I eat this kind of food here?"

Seeing Ye Jingyu raising his hand to throw it away, Yin Qingxuan grabbed his arm.

"This was sent from outside the palace. It was not made inside the palace. It does not violate the emperor's order."

She cleared her throat and said: "There are so many refugees in the world. How can we save them by cutting back on food and clothing? If we want to solve these problems, we must start from the root cause."

Ye Jingyu narrowed his long eyes, never expecting that a young eunuch could say such words.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Yin Qingxuan thought for a while and said: "I heard that there is a severe drought in the world, so the water problem must be solved first."

Ye Jingyu snorted and said, "How could the emperor not know such a simple truth? He had sent people to dig the well a long time ago."

Yin Qingxuan shook his head.

"Since the guards all know this is a simple truth, how can the common people not know it? Not to mention that it is time-consuming and laborious to carry water for watering. It is still unknown whether the well water can be produced. Even if water can be produced, a severe drought will make the well water dry up. , won’t there be another drought next year?”

Ye Jingyu couldn't help but ask: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Yin Qingxuan chuckled and said: "I remember that there is a Tianxing River in the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The people on the riverside are very rich. This is the benefit of being close to the water. If you want the people in the north to avoid famine, you can divert water from the south to the north. Digging ditches is a big project, and I wonder if your emperor is willing to spend all this manpower and material resources."

Ye Jingyu lifted up his robe and sat down, looking sideways and asked: "How to transfer the method to the north, and how to dig ditches?"

Yin Qingxuan immediately told Ye Jingyu what she had learned in school, and Ye Jingyu's eyes flashed.

The Great Zhou Kingdom experienced drought and flood disasters almost every year.

As the so-called drought, the drought will die, and the flood will die.

If water can really be transferred to the north, it will not only solve the drought in the north, but also alleviate the floods in the south.

But how to implement it specifically?

Ye Jingyu asked his doubts.

Yin Qingxuan said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to explain this matter for a while, but if you are willing to help me sell things, I can draw you some drawings."

Yin Qingxuan happened to be studying in the Department of Civil Engineering, and drawings were just child's play for her.

Ye Jingyu smiled sarcastically. "You know how to make demands."

Yin Qingxuan said with a smile: "Does this count as mutual benefit? If you hand over this drawing to the emperor, he will definitely reward you greatly. You will be promoted. As your friend, my face will also be bright!" "

Ye Jingyu said nothing, but took out 600 taels of silver notes from his arms, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Yin Qingxuan happily took the bank note and smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her eyebrows.

"I will draw a drawing for you when you get back tonight. See you in three days."

Looking at that flower-like face, Ye Jingyu's heart skipped a beat inexplicably.

Yin Qingxuan patted her clothes and stood up. She gave the remaining buns to Ye Jingyu and took out the ten facial masks in her arms.

"This is for women to beautify their skin. Just open it and stick it on for a quarter of an hour. Each piece only costs 100 taels of silver."

Ye Jingyu's thoughts quickly converged, and he pointed at the bun and asked, "What is this thing made of? Why have I never seen it before?"

"This is called flour, and it's also produced in China. Of course you've never seen it before."

After Yin Qingxuan finished speaking, she ran away.
