Chapter 183: Almost fainted from anger and fright

Today happened to be a holiday, Xi Xinheng was feeding the birds in the yard.

Soon the housekeeper hurried in.

“Master, the young master has returned to the capital.”

Xi Xinheng’s hand paused: “Where is he?”

The housekeeper bravely told what the servant had reported: “The young master said that he wanted to go to the palace to do important business and to honor his ancestors. Anyone who blocks him will block his future.”

“After the young master said this, the servants did not dare to stop him anymore. They hurried back to report.”

Xi Xinheng immediately threw away the bird food in his hand, and his facial expression changed slightly: “This bastard, let me go and take a look.”

He wanted to go to the palace to do important business and honor his ancestors. Is he joking with him?

It would be better if he didn’t cause trouble in the palace.

The housekeeper also felt that what Xi Rui said was unreliable: “Does the master want me to prepare a carriage?”

Xi Xinheng turned around to change clothes and said: “Get it ready, I will enter the palace immediately.”

That brat better stays out of trouble, otherwise, he will break his legs this time.

On the other side, Liang Mingcheng was talking to several younger brothers in the study.

It was also the housekeeper who came in to report.

“Master, the young master has returned to the capital, but he said that he wants to go to the palace to do important business and that he will honor his ancestors. Anyone who stops him will have his legs broken.”

Liang Mingcheng almost spit out the tea he had just drank.

“Ahem…” He choked after swallowing. After coughing, he couldn’t help but slam his hand on the table: “This bastard, when will he make me worry less?”

It was completely nonsense to do important business and honor his ancestors.

When he thought what his bastard son might do in the palace, he immediately stood up and said: “I’m going to go into the palace now and take a look.”

Upon seeing this, the Second Master said: “Brother, Xiao Liu is getting more and more outrageous. If you don’t discipline him, he might cause big trouble.”

The Third Master is the most conservative in the family in his daily life, and he also has the biggest objections to the only dandy nephew in the family.

“That’s right, and if that doesn’t work, why don’t we just throw him out and let him practice for a few years? I think Mo Qingling from the Mo family is very good now.”

Only the Fourth Master couldn’t help but say: “Although Xiao Liu is a little careless sometimes, he is still reliable in doing things.”

“Perhaps he will go to the palace to do something important.”

He and Liang Youxiao were the only ones in the family who had a good rapport, so he helped his nephew.

The Second Master and the Third Master both looked at him and said: “Only you can tell lies with your eyes open like this.”

This man was unreliable and had bad eyesight as always.

The Fourth Master: “……”

He would endure it for a while. If his nephew accomplished something big, he would attack the two of them.

However, he didn’t know what was going on. After all, his nephew was more likely to be out of tune than to be reliable in doing things……

Liang Mingcheng doesn’t believe that his dandy son will do serious things. He was now worried that the bastard would be instigated and used by others to cause trouble and harm the family.

“I’m going to take a look.”

He immediately stood up and asked the housekeeper to prepare the carriage. He will go to the palace.

The Xi Family and the Liang Family hurried into the palace.

On the other hand, Xi Rui and others have already joined Mo Qingling’s team and followed them into the palace.

Although it was a holiday, the ministers still knew what was going on in the palace.

They heard that Mo Qingling not only came back from Nanxi County but also brought several young men from the capital into the palace. They were all confused.

The only thing they had in mind was, could it be that those little dandies caused big trouble and were sent back by Mo Qingling personally?

The Emperor did not disclose the offering of good seeds to his ministers in advance after receiving the letter.

The Emperor was always cautious in doing things, so he had to be sure before making an announcement.

Although he trusted Mo Qingling, he was also afraid that something would suddenly happen, and it would be difficult to deal with.

After all, bad news about him has been spreading throughout Daliang recently.

At this moment, the Emperor had just read the letter sent by his spy from various places, and his eyes were cold.

He underestimated his younger brother in the fiefdom, who had such a huge power in his hands.

He could only think of one, which was the one left by the late emperor.

Thinking about it like this, he couldn’t help but feel angry. The late emperor’s heart was crooked.

For a woman, he left him such a big trouble.

At this moment, the palace attendant came to report that Mo Qingling arrived.

The Emperor put away the coldness in his eyes and smiled: “Let him in!”

Originally, he had already thought about how to clean up this mess, but it would also require a lot of effort, and he didn’t want to use it.

Now, this god-given seed comes at the right time. It can resolve this big trouble without any effort and also improve his reputation.

Soon, Mo Qingling walked in.

He was followed by Xi Rong and several others.

“We greet His Majesty!” Several people saluted.

The Emperor was a little confused when he saw the group of young dandies behind him, but his expression remained calm, and said: “No need for courtesy.”

He looked at Mo Qingling and asked: “Did you bring back good seeds?”

Mo Qingling nodded: “I asked someone to pick up a load and put it at the door.”

“There are some that have been ground into powder. Your Majesty, why don’t you let the imperial kitchen prepare it and taste it first?”

The Emperor knew that Mo Qingling was very careful in his work: “Okay, let me take a look at the seeds first.”

He stood up directly and walked outside the door to take a look.

He stretched out his hand, picked up a handful of corn seeds, and looked at them, “Have you tasted them?”

He was a smart man, and he had almost guessed the purpose of the few dandies who followed him.

Mo Qingling replied first: “I have already tasted it. You can easily get full, and the taste is not bad. It can be used as food.”

“And the yield is too high.”

He took out the note he had prepared from his sleeve and said: “This is what this minister recorded.”

The Emperor took it and opened it, then his breathing became heavier.

“Imperial Uncle, this corn is delicious when made into pancakes. The corn flour can also be used to make steamed buns.”

As soon as Xi Rong finished speaking, the others followed.

“Yes, Your Majesty, this corn tastes very good.”

“Your Majesty, we have all tasted it, don’t worry.”

“Five kilograms of seeds can produce a thousand kilograms of corn. We have seen it with our own eyes.”

The Emperor’s originally gloomy mood suddenly cleared up.

He smiled and said: “Okay after the Grand Minister of Agriculture comes to see and confirm, all of you will be rewarded.”

After speaking, he also ordered the palace attendants to send some corn flour to the imperial kitchen to make steamed buns and bread.

The Grand Minister of Agriculture has been on standby these days and arrived soon.

He looked very excited after seeing the corn seeds.

Then he stretched out his hand, grabbed a handful of corn flour, and put it in his mouth to taste.

“Your Majesty, this corn is indeed edible.”

The Grand Minister of Agriculture looked at Mo Qingling again and asked dubiously: “Is the yield that high?”

Mo Qingling replied: “I dare to use the head on my neck to guarantee that I led the people to collect it.”

The dandies said one after another: “We have also seen this. One acre of land can yield a thousand catties.”

“That’s right, we are all watching, what else does the Grand Minister of Agriculture do?”

The Grand Minister of Agriculture: “……”

I just don’t believe you, okay?

However, he still had some faith in Mo Qingling, after all, the other party dared to use his head as a guarantee.

“Where are the other seeds? I want to see them.”

Mo Qingling was ready and immediately asked people to bring the remaining corn.

At this moment, the corn buns and other dishes have been prepared in the imperial kitchen.

The Emperor and the Grand Minister of Agriculture both tasted it.

The Grand Minister of Agriculture’s eyes were red with excitement: “Your Majesty, if what Magistrate Mo said is true, that this corn yields a thousand kilograms, then it is indeed a great blessing for us!”

However, his tone was still filled with some uncertainty and doubt.

Several dandies argued with him.

“What do you mean, if it’s true, it is what it is.”

“Yes, we saw it with our own eyes.”

“You old man, don’t be ambiguous in your words.”

“We can also use the heads on our necks as a guarantee. This is all true. You old man, don’t look for trouble.”

As soon as Xi Xinheng and Liang Mingcheng arrived, they heard what their sons said and almost fainted from anger and fright……
