I am the empress, you still tell me to run away?

To be honest, being able to become the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce has proved the strength of Mo Mo, and he must be a cunning and cunning person.

Therefore, if human feelings are not human, Lin Xuan will not place his hopes on this.

What's more, this favor is just a way for the Ministry of Commerce to select talents, which is not very important.

Or is it the strategy used when negotiating with Wei Guo?

Lin Xuan speculated that it was what he told Zhao Yuehan when he was drunk, and Zhao Yuehan told Shen Mo about this strategy, so that Shen Mo had the opportunity to become the chief negotiator and make great contributions in this negotiation?

Lin Xuan didn't care whether it was the former or the latter.

What he wants is a chance to escape.

"By the way, it's rare for you to come, so let's eat a melon."

Lin Xuan looked at a big melon in the field. This melon was so big that it would be very difficult for one person to pick it, so Lin Xuan kept it on and did not pick it.

Hearing that melon was about to be eaten, Xiao Luoli, who was standing not far away, had a twinkle in her eyes.

She has eaten pear melons these days and has always wanted to try bigger melons, but she has never had the chance.

It's just that she didn't know that it wasn't that Lin Xuan didn't want to eat it, but that the melon was too heavy, so she didn't pick it.

The most important thing is that such a big melon can't be eaten by a few people. This time, there are a little more people, so it should be fine.

In addition, the corn for lunch has already been eaten by Zhao Yuehan and the old servant Li Mu...

Under the grape trellis, several people sat down and looked at the big watermelon in front of them.

"It's so sweet! Could this be Immortal Jade Wine?"

Zhao Yuehan ate the watermelon, his eyes were full of joy.

"Delicious! Delicious! So delicious!"

The old servant Li Mu was not polite at all, eating one piece of watermelon after another, as if he completely forgot about the few corns he ate just now.

Little Luoli held a piece of watermelon, eating it with a smile on her face, so cute.

Even the usually naive coachman Lao Xu was smiling at this moment.

Just like that, the big watermelon was only cut in half, which made everyone feel a little full.

The remaining half, Lin Xuan simply gave it to Zhao Yuehan, asking her to take it home for the family to eat.

Considering the taste of half a watermelon would be problematic, Lin Xuan asked his old servant Li Mu to pick another watermelon in the backyard.

By the way, Lin Xuan asked the coachman Lao Xu to dig out all the remaining potatoes and sweet potatoes from the pits dug by the old servant Li Mu. By the way, Zhao Yuehan took all twenty corns back.

After all, at any time, no one would believe empty words.

"Brother Lin, please wait for my good news!"

Zhao Yuehan bowed to say goodbye and left.

"Brother Zhao, please!"

Lin Xuan watched Zhao Yuehan and old servant Li Mu leave, feeling very good.

The running plan has entered the country again!

Originally, I thought it would take at least one or two years to reach this step, but I didn't expect such progress to be made in just a few months, which has far exceeded Lin Xuan's expectations.

It was a stroke of luck to meet Zhao Yuehan.

However, the process of presenting the food this time needs to deal with Shangshu Shangshu Mo Mo, and I hope Mo Mo will not be as sinister and ruthless as the Taiwei Sima Zhao.

……

Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Empress Ji Handan summoned the cabinet, Fengbi Division, Pojun government officials and six ministers to gather in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The chief eunuch, An Yiyan, cut up the fresh watermelon himself, and some of them were sent to the Taining Palace for the Empress Dowager Li Ningyan, and then each official was given a few slices of watermelon.

"My dear dears, this is my new fruit. It's sweet and thirsty. It tastes like fine nectar. I'm sharing it with you dear dears today."

Empress Ji Handan sat on it, looked at the officials in front of her, and said with a smile.

"My dear friends, try it quickly."

With that said, Ji Handan picked up a piece of melon and took a bite.

In this hot summer, there is nothing more pleasant than eating melons.

Of course, after eating this melon, what should be done, I hope these people can do it with all their heart!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The officials present didn't understand what was going on, they just imitated the empress Ji Handan and picked up the melons in their hands and ate them.

After all, everyone was struggling with the famine in Xiangzhou, and expressed doubts about the fact that the empress Ji Handan summoned them here temporarily.

It's just that when I ate the first bite of melon with such doubts, it seemed that all my troubles were forgotten.

"So sweet!"

Xin Sheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, seemed to be eating a melon, his expression shocked.

If he could eat such a mouthful of melon when he came back from the battle with his troops, he felt that he could fight for another [-] rounds.

Qin Shao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, ate very elegantly, but he couldn't help being amazed when he took the first bite of melon.

Your Majesty only uses fine nectar and jade liquid to describe it, which is not an exaggeration at all!

Sima Zhao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was eating melons, his eyes were bright, and he was extremely surprised.

He has never tasted this kind of delicacy, this kind of taste, where did the empress get it?

The most important thing is, the empress summoned them here, wouldn't it be just to taste this delicacy?

As the chief eunuch in charge of Fengbi Department, An Yiyan burst into tears while eating melons.

This is not just being sweetened, but more a gift from His Majesty!

The officials of the Pojun Mansion were still a little hesitant.

After all, their work tasks are extremely heavy these days, and after eating a bite of melon, they feel refreshed.

After a while, a piece of melon was eaten.

Everyone looked at the remaining piece of melon in front of them with hesitation.

However, after seeing the signal from the Empress Ji Handan, she stopped being reserved and polite, picked up the remaining piece of melon and continued to eat.

"Dear dears, do you know what you ate just now?" After eating all the melons, the Empress Ji Handan asked with a smile, "Yes, the remaining melons are the reward!"

Everyone was stunned.

This melon is delicious, but they don't know the name at all.

"Your Majesty, this food is sweet and makes me feel refreshed after eating it. I dare to guess that it is a fairy fruit!"

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce said silently first.

"Master Shen is easy to calculate. The varieties of fairy fruits are unknown. It would be too vague to just say fairy fruits. I once read in an ancient book that there are bright red fruits, sweet and delicious. I guess the name of this fruit is ruby."

Qin Shao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, said.

You say a word, I say a word, and everyone expresses their guesses one after another.

Liu Zongheng, Sima Zhao, and Li Lin were the only ones present who didn't answer, especially Li Lin, who was there, wishing he could speak up and express himself.

Empress Ji Handan smiled: "Liu Qing, what do you think?"

Liu Zongheng was more straightforward, and replied bluntly: "Your Majesty, I don't know the name of this fruit, but I know that it is not some fairy fruit."

Empress Ji Handan nodded, and asked again: "Sima Qing, what do you think?"

Sima Zhao replied: "Your Majesty, I don't know the name of this fruit, but I think it should be a melon."

Li Lin blinked, he should have asked him!

He still wants to eat the leftover melon!

Unexpectedly, the empress Ji Handan didn't ask, but smiled and said directly: "This is indeed not a fairy fruit, but an ordinary melon called watermelon."

"I will divide it up with Liu Qing and Sima Qing."

Empress Ji Han raised her hand and asked An Yi, the chief eunuch, to share the melon.

Liu Zongheng and Sima Zhao hurriedly got up and thanked the female emperor Ji Handan: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

However, they still had some doubts in their hearts. His Majesty summoned them just to eat melons, bestow grace, and buy people's hearts?

Seeing the doubts on the faces of the ministers, the Empress Ji Handan was very satisfied, and said, "Although this melon is an ordinary melon, not a fairy fruit, I have obtained fairy food, which can relieve the famine in Daqianxiang Prefecture!"

Chapter 60 I Decide, All Pardons!

Isn't this considered fairy fruit?

Several ministers wondered in their hearts, if what they ate was not a fairy fruit, what else could be considered a fairy fruit?

It's just that the doubts in my heart turned into shock in the blink of an eye.

His Majesty actually said that he got the fairy food?

Fairy food? !

In the past, Liu Zongheng's first reaction was that some alchemist who offered pills might have entered the court, and it was necessary to persuade His Majesty.

It's just that after eating such a melon just now, even if he is as upright as Liu Zongheng, he can't help but feel a little puzzled.

After all, the famine in Xiangzhou is related to the national destiny of the entire Dagan, and it is even more related to the life and death of millions of victims.

Sima Zhao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was a little tired.

Considering that the last time the Empress Dowager used her critical illness to deceive the civil and military forces of the court and carried out a reform, he decided to see what the Empress Ji Handan was going to do.

Also, Empress Ji Handan seems to have been to Yongle Lane again, could it be that this incident has something to do with that Lin Xuan?

Thinking of the previous few times when someone was arranged to assassinate, except for the first time when they approached the target, the subsequent few times all failed.

Considering that the Empress copied several more families, Sima Zhao also had to stop for the time being.

Otherwise, if he is really found out, there is no guarantee that the Empress Ji Handan will not attack his Sima family.

It's just that, no matter what, he didn't expect that he stopped for a few days, and this kid unexpectedly popped out again.

However, if it is only related to disaster relief this time, let's ignore it for the time being. After all, if Xiangzhou is corrupted, the Sima family will suffer huge losses.

The most important thing is that Sima Zhao is very interested in the fairy food that the empress Ji Hantan said.

The six ministers, Zhou Wenbin, Qin Shao, Xin Shengxiang, Shen Mo, Cheng Butang, Geng Yuandao and others also looked at the Empress one after another, wondering how this fairy food would solve the famine problem in Xiangzhou.

Soon, under the signal of the chief eunuch An Yiyan, a young eunuch walked in holding a plate covered with a yellow cloth.

From the appearance point of view, the things covered by each yellow cloth are somewhat larger.

This is fairy food?

The three plates were placed on the table in the middle of the hall, which aroused the curiosity of the officials present.

General Li Lin sat under the stage, seeing the behavior of the empress Ji Handan, he didn't understand what he was going to do.

It's just that I didn't ask him to answer just now, which was somewhat uncomfortable.

what a melon...

Only two slices are not enough!

No, I have to find another opportunity to go to Lin Xiaozi's house to eat melons.

It's just that he has looked carefully, there are only four such melons left in Lin Xuan's backyard, and he eats one and loses one.

With a sweep of his gaze, he looked at the watermelon seeds spit out from the plate, and Li Lin immediately regained his energy.

There are so many watermelon seeds, you can take them back and plant them.

Look left and right, good guy, there are already a few witty old guys putting watermelon seeds into their sleeves.

"This is the fairy food I got!"

Empress Ji Handan waved her hand, and a little eunuch stepped forward, untied the yellow cloth carefully, and showed corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in front of the minister.

The corn weighs about seven or eight catties, and the grains are full and crystal-clear, which look like they are inlaid with neat and beautiful pearls.
