“Emperor, don’t forget that the Ming Dynasty is worshipping Mother God today.
“The south is the main production area for rice. I suspect Mother God has sent the rice seeds to the south.” Gu Chengrui replied.
After the Emperor heard this, he thoughtfully took the printed paper and looked at it carefully. He focused on the environment where the corn grew; as expected, they grew better on dry or mountainous land, which was more suitable for the north.
He instantly felt a little relieved.
Following that, King Xian’s son, King An’s son, and a few young members of the royal family were sent out to check the seeds along the way and distribute them to the people.
After everyone received their orders, they went home first and set off with their money and manpower.
The Emperor and the others returned to the palace.
At night, Gu Chengrui returned home and saw that Zhou Ying was obviously different. He circled her and asked, “What happened? Did you take some miraculous medicine?”
“Do you have some?” Zhou Ying asked. “I’ve benefited greatly today. My divine sense can now cover the entire capital.”
Gu Chengrui nodded in understanding. At that time, the scene of the seed falling from the sky shocked him, let alone others. It was difficult not to be devout to Mother God.
He kissed her on the forehead and said, “Congratulations.”
“Same, same.” Zhou Ying smiled.
Seven days later, King Xian’s son sent back a letter. As expected, when they reached the main rice production area, the seeds distributed by Mother God were all rice seeds.
After the Emperor finished reading the letter, he let out a sigh of relief. He then informed the retired Emperor and went to see his daughter.
“Consort Xian, you’re here too?” He asked, surprised when he heard the bell-like laughter.
Sun Miaoke and Gu Wanning immediately stood up and bowed when they heard his voice.
“It’s fine. What were you two talking about just now? You two were so happy.” The Emperor waved his hand to stop their bowing, walked to the small bed, and looked at his daughter.
Seeing that she was still asleep, he sat back down.
However, Sun Miaoke and Gu Wanning just looked at each other; it was evident that they did not intend to continue the topic. Instead, they took out a tiny dress and said, “Your Majesty, look at this small dress. It looks good.”
The Emperor looked at the clothes that were not much bigger than his palm, stunned. “Nice. Is this the little princess’s clothes?”
“That’s right. Consort Xian gave it to me. Isn’t it cute? There are so many butterflies embroidered on it; it is so thoughtful.” Sun Miaoke smiled.
“Indeed, but why is this butterfly so fat?”
“I learned this from my cousin-in-law. She said that it’s an exaggerated embroidery technique that is suitable for children.” Gu Wanning replied.
“Indeed, it looks much cuter.” The Emperor nodded in agreement.
After that, the three of them chatted for a while. When Sun Miaoke was tired, the Emperor and Gu Wanning took their leave.
“Wait for me tonight,” the Emperor said as he tidied Gu Wanning’s hair.
Gu Wanning was surprised and nodded with a red face. “Do you want me to cook for you personally?”
“No need. I’ll go over after dinner.”
“ChenQie will take her leave.” Gu Wanning bowed and turned around to return to her palace.
Eunuch Qian looked at Consort Xian’s back and said, “You Majesty, you’re sure blessed. The Empress and Consort Xian are so united. It’s really rare.”
“It’s indeed rare.” The Emperor nodded in agreement.
However, the Imperial Palace was like a dye vat of sins. He did not know if they could continue to be so united.
Also, although he was satisfied with this state, he felt something was missing when he was with them.
As for what it was, he couldn’t say for sure. He just hoped that this balance would always be maintained..
