In less than an hour, the news reached the ears of the concubines in the harem.

When Yang Guifei and Concubine Li heard the news, they immediately became wary.

In the past few months, the emperor has indeed treated Prince Heng differently. Just like an ordinary father treats his son. And Prince Heng has never shown any desire for the position of crown prince in these years. He is also attached to and worships the emperor like an ordinary son treats his father.

"What a cunning little bastard. Just as mean as his mother."

Before Concubine Duan entered the palace, she had always been granted the title of Beauty, then a Noble Lady, and it took several years for her to be promoted to Concubine. Now, it has been almost twenty years, and she suddenly won the favor of the Emperor and became Concubine Duan.

They were extremely unhappy that she, with such a low family background, was on the same level as them, the young ladies from noble families.

They also suppressed Concubine Duan and Prince Heng, but they usually behaved very cowardly. Even if they were targeted by them, they never complained to the emperor, let alone fought back.

Unexpectedly, these families fought fiercely, and Concubine Duan and Prince Heng found another opportunity.

Aren’t they just vegetables grown in a greenhouse? They have been available in the imperial farm for a long time.

For such a thing, he could still claim credit in front of the emperor, saying that he planted it himself. Their prince was too upright, and he didn't know how to use some low-class means like Prince Heng.

Before Prince Heng had the chance to claim credit, Prince Ning spoke up at the court meeting the next morning.

"Brother Emperor, I have something to report."

The emperor was slightly surprised to hear Prince Ning speak.

Although this Prince Ning came to court every day, he usually just fished in troubled waters and did not do any serious work. Now he actually had something to report, could it be some other things?

"Accurate."

"Brother, the kid Jingning had someone build a greenhouse in the farm you gave me in the suburbs of Beijing. He planted the sweet potatoes and potatoes that were distributed to me in the greenhouse, and they actually sprouted. I heard that Princess Chao'an and the old masters in the farm came up with this method. We can plant a large number of them this winter and harvest them in March or April next year..."

When Prince Heng heard what Prince Ning said, he felt very uncomfortable.

He originally thought that Uncle Ning wanted to steal his credit, but he didn't expect that Uncle Ning actually gave the credit to Yun Zhao. Such a great credit was actually given to Yun Zhao?

Could it be that Yun Zhao had also deceived his uncle, Prince Ning?

Or is it that the Prince of Ning County and Yun Zhao have some private dealings? Otherwise, why would Uncle Ning County say this?

"Brother, although the greenhouse costs a lot of money, one acre of land can produce more than a thousand kilograms..."

The emperor didn't expect that Prince Ning was talking about this.

"Is what you said true?"

"In reply to your Royal Brother, everything I said is true."

"Summon the Prince of Ning to the palace."

The emperor saw the Prince of Ning County coming in and asked.

"Jingning, how did you know about this?"

"To answer your uncle's question, I went hunting in a farm outside the capital last winter and encountered danger. I hid in the farm of Princess Chao'an. I saw some greenhouses and was curious. I asked the manager of the farm and he said they were used to grow flowers. I didn't think much about it at the time... It was only after the recent grain issue that I remembered this matter."
