Chapter 191 The Queen Mother who picked up the bargain is very upset 37
In Yunxi's memory, Empress Huixian was the posthumous title of the late empress. After Lian Cheng came to power, he posthumously conferred the title of Empress Huixian as Grand Empress Dowager Huixian. In theory, she was more honorable than Yunxi, the Empress Dowager. After Yunxi's death, she would be buried on the other side of the late emperor.
According to the hierarchy of feudal society, the former queen was the Empress Dowager who was carried into the palace from the Dalian Gate. She, who was crowned as the Empress Dowager halfway through her career, could not compare to her, nor could Liu Xinran, who was crowned as the Empress by the prince's consort.
This Queen Huixian was a woman with both high IQ and EQ. She was a role model for the women in the harem and a standard lady from a noble family. If the former crown prince had not died early and the former queen had not lost her will to live, how could the throne have passed to the later prince?
Thinking of the late crown prince who lived in the breeze and bright moon, Yun Xi looked at Lian Chen who was running freely in the distance. This child must not be allowed to follow the old path of the late crown prince. He must be protected.
Liu Xinran also looked at her eldest son and couldn't help but think, the prince shouldn't be as unlucky as the previous prince, right?
"For the sake of Chen'er and Zhu'er, you should study more and control the harem well. You may not know the inside story of the late prince's unfortunate death, but I do know that it was caused by the joint efforts of several concubines in the harem." Yun Xi lowered her voice and said solemnly.
Liu Xinran shuddered, "How could the late emperor and empress be let off so easily?"
"Of course not. Why are the princes who joined forces in the last rebellion still alive? It's because they and the forces behind them did not participate in the conspiracy to murder the late crown prince. Those who did were already killed by the late emperor for various reasons during the struggle for the throne."
Yun Xi understood clearly from the original owner's memories why the late emperor suddenly launched the war for the throne. In addition to wanting to select an outstanding heir, he also wanted to take the opportunity to avenge the late crown prince.
If the late crown prince had lived into the late emperor's old age, the two might have had conflicts over power issues. There have been crown princes like this in history, and it was very embarrassing.
But the late crown prince died early and was so outstanding and brilliant. The late emperor had only one thought in his mind: how could he bear that such an outstanding heir was gone in the blink of an eye?
But what would happen if revenge was taken? The former crown prince had only one daughter, the now eighteen-year-old Princess Wenning, who could not inherit the throne.
Princess Wen Ning sent a letter a few days ago saying that she wanted to come and see her. Yun Xi guessed that the girl wanted to ask about her marriage.
"It's actually like this." Liu Xinran murmured.
"As the old saying goes, a mother is strong. You have two children, so try your best to protect them. I am living with Chen'er outside to protect him."
After Yun Xi finished speaking, Liu Xinran breathed a sigh of relief, and then took a deep breath, "Don't worry, mother, I will try my best."
"Ah."
"The Emperor has arrived~"
Hearing Zhang Lai's voice from afar, Yun Xi knew that the emperor had arrived. Without the emperor's permission, the queen could not leave the palace. Today was no exception. Lian Cheng also wanted to go out of the palace to take a look, so he allowed the queen to come out as well.
The queen went to pay her respects, but Yun Xi did not move. Soon the emperor came to pay her respects.
"It's a nice day today, so you and your family can go out for a walk and have some fun. You don't have to keep me here."
Lian Cheng nodded, "Then mother, please continue playing. I will take the children to fly kites."
He now also experiences the happiness of having many children.
Yun Xi waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, cultivate the father-son relationship well." After saying that, she looked at the water, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Father, please help my kite fly into the sky. Wow, Father is so awesome."
"Father, I can't pull my kite back. It's too high."
"Father wants a hug."
"Father, I'm thirsty."
"Father, I'm hungry."
……
The laughter coming from the side showed that the children were very happy. Yun Xi sighed silently.
"The host has caught a fish."
"I know, I chose a special hook, but there are too few fish in the creek, so it's not satisfying." Yun Xi pulled up the fishing line, and found a grass carp weighing more than a pound. She couldn't help but feel helpless, "It's not a big deal if there are few fish, and they are still small."
The system suggested, "How about getting some fish fry in there? I see someone is selling them."
Yun Xi opened the system mall and took a look. There was indeed someone selling fish fry, so she asked.
The other party said that it would take a long time for these fry to grow naturally in the river, so it would be best to buy some fish feed to raise them together.
Yun Xi looked at the deep water area in the river. The pool of water was about twenty square meters in size. She bought a few hundred grass carp and black carp fry and put them in the pool. She also bought some feed as a backup.
Through the special fish hook, Yun Xi saw that a lot of the grass carp fry that had just been released into the water were eaten by the black carp fry. She thought that she was careless and should have raised them separately. Forget it, she didn't want to dwell on this little thing.
While she was busy, a group of children came down from the mountain on the side, each holding a small yellow flower in their hands. Yun Xi stared at them in fascination.
Aunt Xiu was puzzled, "Master?"
"Xiu'er, take some change and buy the little yellow flowers from those children's hands."
Aunt Xiu looked at it from a distance, but didn't understand what it was. She grabbed a handful of golden peanuts from her purse and walked over.
"Hello little ones."
A group of children looked timidly at the gorgeously dressed Xiu Mama. After a long while, a little girl came out and said, "Auntie, what do you want to talk to us about?"
Seeing that the child was neatly dressed, Madam Xiu took a closer look and thought she looked familiar. She smiled and said, "You must be the granddaughter of the head of Huang Youliang Village."
"Auntie, you know me. Yes, my name is Huang Xiaojuan. What do you want to talk to us about?" When the little girl heard that it was an acquaintance, she bowed awkwardly and asked crisply.
Xiu'er touched her hair and explained, "My master is a flower lover. Seeing the flowers in your hands, he wants to buy them back. How about one silver flower for each silver flower?"
Huang Xiaojuan leaned forward to take a look at the silver flowers, and was immediately attracted by the silver that was sparkling. "Okay, Huahua is for you."
The others also handed in their flowers and took silver peanuts home. The silver peanuts were taken away by their families and the children cried and didn't mention it.
Yun Xi looked at the small yellow flowers and had an idea in mind. "Xiu'er, ask the children to lead the way. Transplant the plants with these flowers to the farm and take good care of them. I will be of great use to them."
Xiu'er smacked her lips, not understanding what the use of this wild flower was. She said with a righteous tone, "Master, I'll go."
"Those children have made great contributions, so you should give each of them ten taels of silver."
Xiu'er frowned, "Giving money? I have eight children."
"Of course, do as I say."
"Yes~"
That's right, this little yellow flower is the sunflower. Sunflowers had not yet been introduced to Lianchao, and I always felt like something was missing when I couldn't eat peanuts during the New Year and other festivals. Sunflowers can also be used to extract oil, so when I saw the sunflower flowers, I asked Xiuer to buy some to have a look.
(The golden melon seeds mentioned above have been changed to golden peanuts.)
Transplant the plants now and take good care of them. Wait until autumn to see if you can harvest melon seeds. After a few more years, you can cultivate a lot of seeds for export.
In fact, the food diversity of the Lian Dynasty was already sufficient, but compared with modern times, it still lacked some minor things.
