After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

Chapter 415 A New Way of Marriage

After all, it was he who made the decision to donate his family wealth to support Xie Yao and Xiao Ji, so after Xiao Ji ascended the throne, Sheng Ji gained more power.

Logically speaking, although Xie Yao and Xiao Ji did not have much communication and contact with Sheng Ji, they should have had a tacit understanding and consensus.

"Announce." Xie Yao said, "Let Cen Lu come in as well."

It was the coldest time of the year, and Cen Lu was still kneeling outside the Yangxin Palace. Although Xie Yao was angry, she also felt distressed.

After all, they were the first group of female officials she brought up personally, and she had a lot of contact with them.

Cen Lu wasn't wearing much, and her face was a little pale at the moment, but when she came in, she was wearing a black fox fur coat that looked very expensive.

You can tell it’s Sheng Ji’s at first glance.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Sheng Ji knelt down as soon as he entered the room, his attitude sincere, "I am guilty, and I have come here today to apologize."

Xie Yao was so angry that she laughed, "Oh? Young Master Sheng, tell me, what crime have you committed?"

Seducing her female official was indeed a serious crime.

Sheng Ji said, "The Sheng family's merchant ship went out to sea last year and brought back some unfamiliar seeds from overseas, saying they could be used as a staple food."

"I did not report this to the court immediately, but instead asked the Sheng family's farm to grow the seeds themselves for testing. I acknowledge my sin and ask Your Majesty to punish me."

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji's attention was immediately diverted, and they both stared at Sheng Ji, "What are the test results?"

Sheng Ji said respectfully, "The test results are out and are ready for your Majesty and your Majesty to review."

As he said this, Sheng Ji took out a booklet from his sleeve and presented it respectfully with both hands.

Li Dajian immediately stepped forward, took the booklet from Sheng Ji's hand, and respectfully presented it to the emperor and empress.

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji looked at each other, and both understood Sheng Ji's meaning, so they were not in a hurry to open the book.

Sheng Ji must know why he entered the palace today, and he even put his fox fur coat on Cen Lu, which shows Sheng Ji's decision.

At this moment, Sheng Ji said that he was making an apology, but in fact he was offering a gift. If the gift was right, he should be rewarded.

The reward Sheng Ji wanted was to spare Cen Lu.

It was because she saw it clearly that Xie Yao hesitated, but in just a moment, she opened the booklet.

Sheng Ji obviously came prepared.

This booklet clearly records the appearance and characteristics of the plants, as well as what was done between planting and maturity.

And there are differences between them. This piece of land is one choice, and that piece of land is another.

The fertility and moisture level of the soil...all are differentiated.

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji only needed a quick glance to tell that Sheng Ji had really put a lot of thought into this matter and invested countless manpower and resources.

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji each read a copy, both very carefully.

It was very quiet in the Yangxin Palace. Sheng Ji and Cen Lu were waiting for the emperor and empress to finish reading the records.

Xie Yao read until the end and said, "The record is not finished yet."

Sheng Ji said, "To reply to the Holy Queen, although the records are not yet complete, last year's harvest was already very impressive."

"And I've personally tested it. All three of these foods are edible, very filling, and delicious."

"I dare not test such things again. I should hand them over to the imperial court."

With high-yield food, the population can develop, which is the most important thing for a country.

Although Sheng Ji wanted to make a contribution, he really didn't dare to try again unless he got the approval of the emperor and empress.

Even if the Emperor and Empress didn't summon him today, he would have wanted to come to the palace to see them. Of course, taking these things out today was just the right time.
