The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Taibailou's dishes were good, and Tao Anran had a great appetite and ate a lot without Mammy Hua watching.And Xiao Jingyu saw that the princess rarely had a good appetite, so she didn't dissuade her.Recently, the concubine often suffers from morning sickness and has a poor appetite. Now that she has a good appetite, it's too late for him to be happy.

It's a pity that Tao Anran was so happy when he ate, but he was so embarrassed when he vomited back.Then Aunt Hua asked again, what did she eat this meal, it turned out to be a nonsense meal.Immediately, Mammy Hua got angry and took them to the attendants for a training session.Especially Bai Lu Han Lu was speechless.

Tao Anran wanted to ask for love, but she didn't dare to ask.Because after Madam Hua finished training others, her eyes turned to Xiao Jingyu and Tao Anran.

Nanny Hua said earnestly: "My lord and concubine, I'm sorry for being rude. Now the concubine is pregnant, which is not the same as before. Although you are usually taken care of by someone, you still have to pay more attention to yourself. You always have to take care of the little highness in your belly." Think about it more. The prince is also, although he is usually busy with affairs, he should pay more attention to the princess."

Tao Anran lowered her head and dared not speak much.It was Xiao Jingyu who said: "It's my negligence that made the mother worry. I will pay more attention to it in the future, and I will always supervise the princess."

Nanny Hua felt relieved, and quickly poured a glass of water for the princess to rinse her mouth.Tao Anran took the water, knowing that this matter is over.But the days to come are likely to be difficult.

Afterwards, Mammy Hua really took a more strict view, Tao Anran did whatever she wanted.But sometimes he was really greedy and wanted to eat something that was not allowed, so Tao Anran secretly begged Xiao Jingyu.The two sneaked around like underground joints.

It's just that Xiao Jingyu also became stricter, every time Tao Anran asked him for a long time before he could get a little bit of what he wanted.But a little bit is better than nothing, and it’s okay to relieve a little gluttony.

Time passed slowly like this, and autumn came in a blink of an eye, and the leaves began to wither and turn yellow.In a blink of an eye, it is August again, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and it is also the day of Emperor Jinde's birthday.

These days, Tao Anran is raising her baby in peace of mind in the mansion, stretching out her hands for clothes and opening her mouth for food.There are people who talk about everything, and the most he really needs to worry about is to look at the account books in the house and take a look at his own business.

The fetus in the womb is also five months old, and it is gradually becoming pregnant.When I first found out that I was pregnant, it was said that the fetus was thin, but now it has all improved.Doctor Qu ordered that as long as the status quo is maintained.

Xiao Jingyu was still on duty at the Ministry of Industry during this time.He used cement to repair a road in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, so that people who come and go to the Ministry of Industry will no longer have to dirty their shoes in rainy days.At the same time, it also draws attention to the important role of cement.

Xiao Jingyu didn't hide his secrets, and directly provided the cement formula to the Ministry of Industry.Therefore, cement was used in some subsequent house construction projects of the Ministry of Industry, and the houses were stronger than before.But whenever cement is used, Xiao Jingyu is bound to come to mind.This made Xiao Jingyu's reputation spread.

In particular, Xiao Jingyu asked Jiang Langzhong of the Ministry of Water to bring cement and troops to rectify the river, which is even more beneficial to the country and the people.Instead of saving when floods occur, it is better to dredge the river and strengthen the embankment when the water potential is low in autumn and winter.After thinking about it, Emperor Jinde agreed to the matter.

So now Xiao Jingyu's prestige among the common people can be considered as high as the sky.On the contrary, Liang Wang Xiao Jingci, who was so popular before, seems to have disappeared.Although occasionally a few people said that Liang Wang Xiao Jingci was just modest and low-key now, but it did not attract unnecessary attention.

At the time when the two princes selected the crown prince through the six-part experience, at this time, whoever gets the most voice will have an advantage.Liang Wang's low-key, if it is not for his accumulation, it will only disappoint those who follow him.

However, some courtiers who are accustomed to wind and rain will not easily stand in line, even if the king of Zhenbei has a relatively large advantage now.They have also seen King Zhenbei's talent, but they are at most lightly probing, and they have to wait a little longer.

On His Majesty's birthday, even if it is not a full year, the Holy Majesty would say that there is no need to make a fuss, but the palace is still decorated with lights and festoons.Palace banquets are indispensable, and gifts are even more learned.

After Tao Anran's belly began to show, she gradually experienced the pain of pregnancy, and felt tired every day when she puffed her belly out.Besides, Nanny Hua didn't let him eat outside food casually, so he didn't plan to participate in this palace banquet.

After Tao Anran said this, Xiao Jingyu looked at his stomach and nodded, "It should be so. I don't feel at ease if you go to the palace banquet now. If the emperor asks about it then, I will take a leave of absence for you."

Tao Anran thought for a while, and asked, "Am I being arrogant like this? Father won't be angry, right?"

Xiao Jingyu touched Wang Hao's rounder face, smiled and said: "Father will not be angry. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable now. And since you have a wedding, the rewards in the palace have not been cut off. You don't want to participate Royal father will only care about the palace banquet and will not be angry."

Tao Anran thought for a while, he is now a father and son, and he does have this privilege.

But when it came to the palace banquet, Tao Anran couldn't help asking: "What gift did the lord prepare for the father this time? I see that there are many things in the storeroom."

Xiao Jingyu smiled mysteriously, "Want to know?"

Tao Anran asked curiously, "I want to know. What exactly is it?"

Xiao Jingyu smiled and said, "I wanted to keep it a mystery, but since you want to know, I'll show it to you. You've seen this gift before."

Tao Anran began to think, has he seen something?But he has seen too many things, but what can be used as a gift must be something valuable.The precious things he saw began to flash in his mind, but they almost made sense.

Until Xiao Jingyu asked someone to bring a pot covered with a red cloth.This obviously looks like a potted plant.Could it be some precious flowers and plants?

Tao Anran immediately asked: "Is this a rare flower? A precious orchid?"

Xiao Jingyu shook his head and said with a smile, "Of course, you can uncover it and have a look."

Tao Anran saw Xiao Jingyu's trickery, so she opened the red cloth curiously, and saw the potted plants inside as she wished.Just seeing the potted plant and the familiar green leaves, he immediately realized that they were potatoes.

Calculating the time, if the potatoes were planted early, a wave of potatoes could be harvested at this time.

Xiao Jingyu was going to send a pot of potatoes to the emperor!

But if you think about it carefully, this gift can be unexpected.And the importance of potatoes deserves to be favored by superiors.

But Tao Anran looked at the potato leaves and asked, "Why did the lord take out the potatoes? Didn't they keep them as seeds?"

He remembered that Xiao Jingyu was very precious about these potatoes, and they didn't eat many potatoes in total.Why are you willing to take it out now?

Xiao Jingyu also stared at the potatoes, and then replied: "However, we have accumulated some potatoes in our hands now. I specially asked someone to bring them back from the northwest. It is a good time to present them as a gift at this time, just to let others know how good they are. Things come out of our hands."

Tao Anran smiled and said: "This is indeed a good gift. I'm afraid there is no other gift that can compare to it. However, my lord, how many potatoes did you ask someone to bring back? Is there any more? I want to eat it."

Xiao Jingyu scratched his nose and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I can let you eat your fill this time."

When Tao Anran heard this, he was already thinking about how French fries are made.Too bad there is no ketchup.

On the other side, in a private mansion, Xiao Jingci was sitting opposite Tao Anling.He bought this house privately to arrange some shady people and things.

Tao Anling came to this house in the name of visiting friends on a trip.Now that Liang Wang's advantage is not obvious, they need to discuss some things more often.It is always easy to be found when meeting in a teahouse, so a hidden house is necessary.

Tao Anling made a cup of tea for Xiao Jingci, and said with concern: "My lord, the current decline is only temporary. King Zhenbei only has some skills in craftsman skills, and he can't be ranked in the hall of elegance. As for other aspects, you still have some skills." advantage."

Xiao Jingci looked at the teacup in front of him, and sighed: "Even if it is difficult to enter the court of elegance, but now his reputation among the people is much better. Many courtiers who were originally neutral began to lean towards him. "

Tao Anling frowned, he didn't know much about the court affairs, so he couldn't help asking: "How did the lord know? Those ministers have always insisted on being wise and protecting themselves, and they won't change their attitude easily."

Xiao Jingci said calmly: "This king intends to appoint a side concubine, but several ministers have refused. Ding Yuanhou also said that his daughter went to the temple to stay temporarily to pray for the safety of the family. This is not obvious prevarication. They are determined This king is about to lose, so I don't want to have anything to do with this king."

Xiao Jingci's face was calm when he spoke, but his voice was bitter, and he was very dissatisfied.

Tao Anling's eyes flickered when he heard the words, and Xiao Jingci became angry from embarrassment in order to avoid further chatting.He resolutely changed the subject and asked: "It's His Majesty's birthday soon, I wonder what gift the lord has prepared?"

Xiao Jingci replied: "Father is not going to make a big deal this year. This king has prepared a ten-inch jade carving of the Immortal of Fu, Lu Shou. The three immortals are gathered together, and I hope that Father will have all the blessings and longevity."

Tao Anling thought for a while, and said euphemistically: "The prince's gift sounds good. But it's nothing new compared to before. Your Majesty is sitting on the world, and there are piles of treasures in the treasury. What you really need is not some treasures, but some novelty things." ."

After Xiao Jingci heard it, he felt that it made sense.He had given some bright pearls and emeralds before, but he didn't see how much his father liked them.

After a moment of silence, he said, "It's just that it's too late to exchange gifts now. Does An Ling have any good ideas?"

Tao Anling smiled slightly, and replied: "It's not really a good idea, it's just a feeling when you go out to see the harvest in the farmland."

After speaking, he took out a wooden box and placed it on the table.

Xiao Jingci immediately took it out, opened it, and saw that there were five grains inside, all five grains.He immediately understood what this wooden box represented, which was a good harvest.

Xiao Jingci said with a smile: "It's still Anling who is careful, this harvest of grains is much better than my jade carving of fortune, prosperity and longevity."

Tao Anling also replied with a smile: "Your Majesty is absurd. If it is the birthday of an ordinary old man, it is naturally enough to send jade carvings. But His Majesty is not only a father, but also the monarch of the Jin Dynasty. He values ​​the people's happiness more. Life."

Xiao Jingci picked up the teacup and said with a soft smile: "Thanks to you, now that there is such a bumper crop, the emperor will surely be happy. The situation may have to change by then."

Tao Anling just smiled and said nothing.
