Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

The emperor was only concerned with eating, forgetting everything else and even forgetting to maintain his own image. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten so happily.

Shen Ping raised the corners of her mouth. Even modern people would like to eat this dish, not to mention the ancient people who have never tasted it.

The meal was over in a gust of wind. The emperor leaned back in his chair with great satisfaction, as he had not had such a satisfying meal for a long time.

"Madam Shen, what kind of rice is this?" The emperor was still not satisfied with the meal. It would be great if he could eat this rice every day in the future.

Shen Ping smiled slightly: "Don't be anxious, Your Majesty. Before that, you should listen to my story."

"Okay~"

The emperor was not in a hurry at this moment, and he completely forgot about Miss Ma. He still had to listen to Madam Shen's story. He would have to ask what kind of rice this was later.

But now he could guess a little bit. If his guess was correct, this story was probably related to He Li.

Thinking of this, the emperor said calmly: "Madam Shen, if my guess is correct, is this story related to He Li?"

The emperor hit the nail on the head. Shen Ping smiled. She knew that nothing could escape his eyes.

Shen Ping told the whole story slowly, from the beginning when she rescued He Li to how she and Erya fell in love later on.

"So you are the Yu'an man!" The emperor suddenly realized.

"That's right!" Shen Ping looked at the emperor with burning eyes, not afraid at all: "I am Erya's mother. Now you should know why I kidnapped Miss Ma."

"Haha~"

The emperor smiled and said, "What a tragic love story! Yu Anren is indeed worthy of her reputation! It seems that you really deserve the title bestowed by me.

For the sake of his own daughter, he was willing to risk being beheaded to disrupt this marriage."

Changing the subject, the emperor continued, "If you hadn't saved my tenth brother, the situation would probably be very different now. In that case, do I still owe you a favor?" The emperor looked at Shen Ping with a smile.

Unexpectedly, it was she who successfully prayed for rain from the sky, found food, and discovered high-yield rice seeds. She is simply an amazing woman in the world.

"That's indeed the case." Shen Ping smiled and looked directly at the emperor without any fear: "As for this Miss Ma, to be honest, she is here now."

After saying that, Shen Ping turned around and said, "Miss Ma, come out!"

After a long while, footsteps were heard and Miss Ma walked out timidly with her head lowered.

Walking up to the two of them, Ma Mei bowed to the emperor and said, "I, Ma Mei, greet the emperor~"

This surprised the emperor again. Didn't Madam Shen kidnap Miss Ma from the Ma Mansion? Now, it doesn't look like that at all.

Suddenly, Ma Mei fell to her knees and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you to take back your decision. I don't want to marry the Tenth Prince." She kowtowed repeatedly.

"What's the matter?"

The emperor was puzzled: "I heard from your father that you would not marry anyone but He Li, and I wanted to make it happen, so I granted the marriage. Why are you unwilling now?

Tell me, is there anyone threatening you? I'll make the decision for you! " As he spoke, the emperor looked at Shen Ping.

He knew that things were not that simple. It must be that Madam Shen had said something to her.

Ma Mei shook her head and said with a firm look in her eyes: "The person I want to marry is the one who loves me wholeheartedly. The Tenth Prince has already married someone else. What's the difference between this and robbing him? It's not like I, Ma Mei, can't get married."

Besides, they are already engaged. If he still thinks about other women after marriage, I would rather not have it. Don't blame Madam Shen.

She did it for Erya, and I have to thank her a lot!" Ma Mei was afraid that the emperor would blame Shen Ping, so she quickly pleaded for her.

It was the first time that the emperor saw someone pleading for the person who had kidnapped him.

Having said that, a king should never joke. If he were to go back on his word and take back his decision, wouldn't the whole world laugh at him if it got out?

But on second thought, since Miss Ma doesn't want to, it's not impossible, but it's not that easy to decide.

If this set a precedent and someone followed suit and disobeyed the emperor's orders, then what he said would be no different from fart. Where would his dignity as the emperor be then?

"No! You must not joke!" The emperor shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to take back your decision!" Seeing that the emperor refused to agree, Ma Mei knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

"Miss Ma, get up!" Shen Ping helped Ma Mei up.

The emperor looked at Shen Ping carefully and found that she was calm and unhurried, and did not seem to be in a hurry. The doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger.

Shen Ping smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, I know that you did this at the beginning to appease the Minister of Agriculture and let him serve the court better.

What the Minister of Agriculture can do, I can do as well. I developed the high-yield rice variety, and the bowl of fragrant rice you just ate is a new variety, with a yield of no less than 2000 per mu~"

Shen Ping's words really surprised the emperor, and not only that, Ma Mei was also stunned.

Her father has been her idol since she was a child because he can study various crops and increase their yields.

Now it seems that Madam Shen is simply a god-level person!

"I have only one request, and that is to ask the emperor to revoke the marriage arrangement with Miss Ma and make the Tenth Prince and my daughter happy." Shen Ping looked at the emperor. She didn't believe that the emperor would not be tempted by such conditions.

Indeed, it is difficult for the emperor to refuse such conditions. Right now, the people are not well fed and clothed. If more productive crops can be researched, it will save the people from suffering and will be a blessing for the court.

However, my tenth brother had already brought back the high-yield rice seeds, so now this fragrant rice seed can only be regarded as icing on the cake.

Although it was indeed very attractive to him, it was still difficult for him to withdraw the imperial edict.

Suddenly, the emperor thought of what General Dingyuan said about warm clothing, and immediately came up with an idea.

"Well, if you can find a way to research materials for making warm clothing, I can consider it."

The emperor looked at Shen Ping with a smile. He didn't believe that Shen Ping could do it. If she couldn't do it, she couldn't blame him.

Ma Mei looked at Shen Ping with frustration. She knew that the emperor would not agree easily.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ping said something shocking: "Your Majesty, it's a deal! If I can figure it out, you will release He Li and let him go with me."

The emperor couldn't believe his ears when he heard this. He thought that such a difficult situation would make her give up, but unexpectedly she rose to the challenge.

It seems that Shen Ping really has some abilities. If the court can recruit such a person for its own use, it will be a blessing for the court!

"Okay! If you can really figure it out, I can consider it." The emperor agreed immediately because he knew that this was not something that could be figured out just by talking about it.
