Inside the Yangxin Palace, the emperor was also worried about the choice of empress. He looked at Su Peisheng and suddenly asked:

"Who do you think is suitable to be the queen in this harem?"

"Your Majesty, aren't you embarrassing me? What can I think about such a big thing? But the last time Your Majesty went to Sui Yuxuan, I did learn something strange." Su Peisheng knew that the emperor was a shrewd man and he had to be careful with his words.

"Tell me, what new things can there be in Sui Yuxuan? Imperial Concubine Hui is indeed unique. She leads the harem in growing vegetables and raising poultry. She is also thrifty and good at managing the household." The emperor thought of him picking vegetables and cooking with Shen Meimei and found it very interesting.

"Oh, Your Majesty, I'm not talking about growing vegetables. You don't know that Concubine Hui's small warehouse has been emptied!

She used her own money to hatch these poultry and distributed them to the people in the capital for free.

Your Majesty, what do you think Concubine Hui wants?

If she wanted to gain a good reputation, the poultry she distributed was distributed in the name of Your Majesty.

I have seen many people, but I have never seen anyone who cares about His Majesty like Concubine Hui!"

Su Peisheng told the whole conversation between him and Jinxi in Suiyuxuan, adding some exaggerations to it.

The emperor also fell into deep thought after hearing this. "Su Peisheng, let's go to Suiyuxuan! I can't let Concubine Hui spend money and effort for me, and still not have a good reputation."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Su Peisheng arranged a sedan chair and soon arrived at Suiyuxuan.

Shen Meimei spent another day tidying up the small warehouse, and most of the things that could be sold were gone. However, she did not dare to sell some of the royal rewards, which were particularly precious, so she had to keep them.

As soon as the emperor entered the small warehouse, he suddenly discovered that the rewards that were so numerous in the past were now empty.

"Mei'er, you have done so much for me, why didn't you tell me?" The emperor stepped forward, his tone concerned, without any blame in his voice.

"Your Majesty, I had to sell my belongings secretly because I had no other choice! Please don't blame me for selling them privately!" Shen Meimei was worried that the emperor would blame her, so she knelt down and begged for mercy.

The emperor did not intend to blame Shen Meimei. Instead, he looked at her tenderly and said softly:

"Mei'er, I know you have made a lot of efforts to prevent the locust plague in advance, so how could I become an obstacle for you?

Tomorrow I will issue an edict to encourage poultry breeding throughout the country, and let the Ministry of Industry promote your hatchery laboratory to speed up the poultry breeding process.

In addition, I will ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate 300,000 taels to ensure that there are enough chicks and ducklings to deal with the locust plague."

Hearing the emperor issue the decree so decisively, Shen Meimei felt moved and delighted.

Tears flashed in her eyes, and she said in a choked voice:

"Your Majesty, on behalf of the people of the world, I thank you for your wise decision!"

After saying that, she gave the emperor a big hug and kissed him on the face excitedly.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "You are really spoiled by me!"

At Qingliangtai, Zhen Huan learned that Yuyin came to recuperate, and was so scared that she had to hide in the rice warehouse.

Because the warehouse was dark and damp, and rats often appeared in it, Zhen Huan was worried all day long. She had never suffered such hardship before.

Even when she was in Ganlu Temple, she was taken care of by Jinxi and Huanbi, but now she can only hide in a dark warehouse.

Yu Yin has been in a coma, and the doctors in the palace do not recommend moving her, so they can only let Yu Fu Jin stay in Qingliangtai for the time being.

Prince Guo was taking care of Yu Yin and was worried about Zhen Huan at the same time, so he was really unable to cope with everything.
