After the Emperor ordered people to investigate the matter, he asked the palace attendant to summon the Minister of the Ministry of Works to enter the palace.

The news naturally spread.

Everyone was a little confused as to why as soon as Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong left, the Emperor summoned the Ministry of Works in the palace.

The Minister of the Ministry of Works was also confused.

Just after he read a few pieces of paper given by the Emperor, he immediately showed an excited expression.

“Your Majesty, if this iron-smelting method is completed, a lot of money can be saved.”

The Ministry of Works has been short of money recently, but the old guys at the Ministry of Revenue were stingy as hell and won’t give them money.

Now that he has this method, he can blatantly go to the Minister of Revenue to ask for money.

If the refined iron was smelted, it would be of great benefit to the Ministry of Works.

The Emperor nodded: “No matter how much manpower or financial resources are used, this kind of refined iron must be refined as soon as possible.”

The Minister of the Ministry of Works smiled and said: “I obey your orders.”

Then he couldn’t help but ask: “Your Majesty, is the source of this recipe reliable?”

He was afraid that if nothing came out after all the hard work, the old guy from the Ministry of Revenue would stare at him and ridicule him.

The Emperor said truthfully: “This is the method left by the Old Taoist Priest who offered the god-given seeds.”

“The cement-making method was also given by him.”

The Minister of the Ministry of Works understood immediately: “Then there shouldn’t be a big problem.”

The cement was also developed by their Ministry of Works according to the recipe, and it was indeed easy to use.

So it turns out that today, Shi Qingluo came to the palace to offer this method.

He changed his mind and asked again: “Your Majesty, do you want this news to be kept secret?”

The Emperor waved his hand: “No need.”

“If someone asks you when you go out, just tell the truth.”

He added: “There is no need to hide the fact that this method was specially donated by Shi Qingluo, the apprentice of the Old Taoist Priest.”

The Minister of Ministry of Works smiled and nodded: “I obey your order!”

It seems that the Emperor still values Shi Qingluo very much.

Let him go out and speak out, isn’t it just to build momentum for the other party?

Soon, the Minister of the Ministry of Works took the method and left the palace.

He didn’t go home but went to the Ministry of Works.

He was a little impatient now and wanted to refine the refined iron.

When he meets a colleague on the road, the other person inquires intentionally or unintentionally.

The Minister of the Ministry of Works did not hesitate to tell the story about Shi Qingluo’s offering of the method.

He knew that the Emperor wanted to spread the news.

Then the well-informed families in the capital soon learned about it.

It turned out that when Shi Qingluo entered the palace before, she went to present the iron-making method.

Many people also were amazed and couldn’t help but admire her. They had underestimated this mountain village woman before.

There was no need to talk about god-given seeds. With this new iron-smelting method, she uses this credit to sue. What a smart person!

Without question, the matter of the Third Princess will not end easily.

When Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong left the palace, they went directly back to their residence.

Xiao Hanzheng hadn’t come back yet, so she went to see Master Hou first.

Master Hou asked with concern: “You were frightened today, are you okay?”

Shi Qingluo smiled and replied: “I’m fine.”

Then she took the initiative to tell her about going to the palace, and that the Emperor promised her that she would get justice.

Master Hou was also surprised, and then said with a smile on his face: “You did a good job in this matter.”

“It’s not a smart move to take the initiative to mention the Third Princess in front of the Emperor.”

He thought for a while and said: “It seems that the Emperor will severely punish the Third Princess, but not in the name of harming you.”

“After all, this can be considered an imperial family scandal. If the people know that you donated seeds on the front foot, and the daughter-in-law of the imperial family does such a thing to you on the back foot, the impact will be very bad.”

He added meaningfully: “And I’m afraid someone will make a fuss about it.”

Shi Qingluo knew about the prince in the fiefdom. She nodded her head and said with a smile: “What you said is true. I just want to teach the Third Princess a lesson and let everyone know that I am not easy to bully.”

“I don’t care in what name it is in the end.”

So she did not mention the Third Princess in front of the emperor from beginning to end today.

She just wanted to show something to those noble and powerful. It was good enough that she achieved her goal. ˆ

Master Hou found that his younger disciple’s wife was not only smart but also very perceptive.

“As long as you have an idea.”

“Jinyu went to see Wu Yushi for medical treatment and will probably come back later.”

As soon as Shi Qingluo heard this, she knew that her husband was trying to help her vent her anger.

She smiled and nodded: “Mmm.”

After saying a few words to Master Hou, Shi Qingluo returned to the courtyard.

She felt a little sleepy, so she took a nap.

She was still drowsily asleep when she felt like someone was touching her face.

She opened her eyes and saw her husband looking at her tenderly.

“You’re back.”

She asked again: “Did it go well?”

Xiao Hanzheng stretched out his hand to pull Shi Qingluo up and held her in his arms: “Everything is well.”

“I helped Wu Yushi alleviate his condition today. In the next few days, I will go to his house for acupuncture and prepare medicine for him.”

“His old habits won’t happen again this winter.”

Shi Qingluo raised her hand poked him in the face, and immediately said: “My Brother Zheng is a cow!”

“Thank you for the compliment, Madam.” Xiao Hanzheng hugged her and felt at ease. “Did you go to the palace to present the iron-smelting method today?”

He knew about the iron-making method in his wife’s hands, and they had originally discussed how to donate it to Mo Qingling.

Because he knows well his wife, he asks this question.

“Yes, that woman dared to plot against me like this, of course, I will make her pay.”

Shi Qingluo showed a proud look: “She knows how to bully others, and so can I!”

Xiao Hanzheng kissed her and said: “Well, that’s how my wife is, no one can bully her.”

Shi Qingluo chuckled and said: “You won’t let me be bullied either.”

Xiao Hanzheng also smiled and said: “Of course.”

“By the way, Xi Rui went to the palace today to find the Empress Dowager.”

“Liang Youxiao found someone to release many of the disgusting things Fu Wenzheng had done, and also suppressed Fu Wenzheng’s dowry shops.”

“Fei Yuzhe also went to his friends in the literary circle and told them about you being almost bullied. Many people wrote articles to satirize her, which also caused a stir.”

“There will be a good show in the capital tomorrow.”

This was something Xiao Hanzheng never thought of.

He didn’t expect that Xi Rui and others would directly and openly oppose the Third Princess for the sake of his little wife.

These dandy friends of his little wife were worth keeping.

Shi Qingluo was also surprised: “They all came out to support me!”

“What a good friend.” She felt warm in her heart.

Then she asked with some worry: “Will the person above them be unhappy if they jump around like this?”

Xiao Hanzheng rubbed his face and said: “No, the person above is not so narrow-minded.”

“And they don’t represent their family, they just stand up for their friend.”

“The one above will turn a blind eye.”

Of course, without the support of their family, those people would have been captured long ago.

So the Liang Family, the Xi Family, and the Fei Family extended goodwill to them, and he accepted this favor.

Shi Qingluo felt relieved and said: “Sure enough, I’m not suitable for these twists and turns. I’ll just keep farming and breeding in the future.”

Playing in the court was not suitable for her.

Xiao Hanzheng laughed out loud and said: “Okay, leave these to me. You only have to be responsible for being as beautiful as a flower and being happy every day.”

Shi Qingluo’s smile overflowed from her eyes: “You also have to be as beautiful as a flower.”

Her husband has become more and more beautiful recently by her care.

Xiao Hanzheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Then let’s be like that together.”

Why does a man have to be as beautiful as a flower?

Well, as long as his wife was happy.
