Chapter 145 Harem Sisters
Minister Duan couldn't wait to pull the Mu Sheng brothers into the palace.
The emperor was in a good mood recently. When he saw them coming, he smiled and asked, "My dear ministers, you are here to see me today. Is there something good going on?"
He had just said it casually, jokingly, and didn't really mean it. Good things couldn't happen that often, and he was already past the age of daydreaming.
Who knew that Minister Duan would immediately pick up the conversation: "Something good has indeed happened. I would like to congratulate Your Majesty first! This matter was presided over by Yuanwailang Mu, let him report to Your Majesty."
When the emperor heard the title "Mu Yuanwailang", he was stunned for a moment, then he realized that it was referring to Mu Xuan. This guy was a sixth-rank Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Works and usually did not need to attend the morning court. He really did not notice this.
"Great, Mu Xuan can share my worries now. When your brother was my study partner, you were only that old. Tell me quickly, what's the good news?"
Mu Xuan: “…”
Although he was only four years younger than his brother, his brother had been a companion to the emperor at the age of five, so he was indeed not much older.
But the emperor was only six years old at that time. Although he didn't remember much, he had seen a few six-year-old kids, all of them were little brats.
He complained in his heart, but on the surface he seriously and respectfully explained the advantages and uses of cement.
The emperor was immediately shocked.
“Already have a finished product?”
"Yes, the courtyard where I am doing the experiment has been paved with cement. Your Majesty can inspect it on site."
"Let's go! Now!"
With this material, dams will be less likely to break, houses will be less likely to break, and roads will be less bumpy.
Oh my God, he was indeed the destined emperor. All good things happened when he was emperor.
I was so excited that I wanted to cry.
The group arrived at the yard where Mu Xuan was doing the experiment. The emperor stepped onto the concrete floor and stomped on it a few times. The ground was hard and did not move at all. He jumped a few times, turned around excitedly for several times, and said "good" repeatedly!
"Mu Xuan, you are great, young and promising."
Mu Xuan didn't want to take credit for it, nor did he want the emperor to misunderstand him, so he quickly gave Yun Xi away. His sister-in-law selflessly shared the things with him, and if he took all the credit, how disappointed would that be? Would his sister-in-law still trust him in the future? Would she still give him good things to test? That was probably a big question mark!
Besides, the Mu family didn't have the bad habit of taking credit for other people's achievements. They had fought for generations, and the credit belonged to whoever made the contribution on the battlefield. Only by keeping this in mind could the soldiers march forward bravely and the army always maintain its integrity.
Only if the eldest sister-in-law cooperates with him for a long time, the Mu family can maintain family harmony and develop for a longer period of time.
Now, even the emperor began to be jealous. Not only was he jealous of Mu Sheng, he was also jealous of Mu Xuan and Yun Zhen. What kind of luck was this? How could this person be Yun Zhen's daughter and not their royal child? How did she marry into the Mu family?
No, he is the emperor. As long as he wants, Yun Xi can be a royal child. Even if she is not his biological child, he can recognize her as his adopted sister, right? Hehe!
After seeing the actual product, the emperor ordered the courtyard to be sealed off and summoned important officials to discuss the use and promotion of cement.
While he was busy, the emperor did not forget to remind the empress to issue an imperial decree to praise Yun Xi.
"Madam Mu has made contributions to the country and the people. I intend to recognize her as my sister. The decree will be issued later, together with the imperial decree of her father's title of nobility. You should issue an edict to praise her first, so that she knows that we have seen her contributions."
The queen had been thinking about this matter these days. She had picked out a bunch of good things from the storehouse and was ready to reward Yun Xi, but she still felt it was not enough. Now, after hearing what the emperor said, a bolder idea came to her mind.
She readily agreed and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured and leave this matter to me. The sisters in the harem are also waiting for your Majesty's order so that they can send something to Madam Mu."
The emperor and her were a young couple, they were deeply in love and harmonious, so naturally there was nothing to worry about. Hearing this, he said, "Then I'll have to trouble Zitong."
"It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries."
After the emperor left, the queen immediately called a meeting of the sisters in the harem to discuss how to reward Madam Mu.
I don't know what's going on in this world. The court and the harem are all harmonious. The queen and the two concubines are very affectionate. No one is jealous of the beauties and talents. Everyone is very Buddhist. When the emperor comes, they are warmly entertained. When the emperor doesn't come, they stay at ease. They visit each other, chat, and take care of the children together.
The empress gave birth to a son early, and now he is five years old. At that time, the emperor had just ascended the throne. This child was named the crown prince as soon as he was born, and the selection of a companion for him would begin next year. The concubine gave birth to a little princess, who was only a few months younger than the crown prince. The virtuous concubine gave birth to the second prince. The beauties and talented women who came later also gave birth. The emperor had a total of four princes and three princesses. The oldest was five years old, and the youngest was less than two years old.
The crown prince is both the eldest son and the legitimate son, and his position is as solid as a rock.
There seemed to be nothing to argue about.
