Chapter 508
Seeing the two people whispering to each other, Concubine Chen felt very satisfied.
The two of them talked for a while, and someone outside announced: "The Emperor has arrived!"
After hearing this, Li Yuezhu immediately became nervous. Although she did come here to see His Majesty the Emperor, it came too soon. She still wanted to take the initiative!
"Don't be nervous. Although the emperor has always been cold and indifferent to others and difficult to get along with, he has heard of your name for a long time and has long wanted to meet you."
Concubine Chen asked someone to open the door and pulled Li Yuezhu to her side: "The emperor is happy recently. If you have anything, just ask him."
Li Yuezhu nodded obediently. Her hands were already sweating. How good could an emperor be who had no food or supplies for the front because he did not get military power?
Li Yuezhu didn't know, but she now knew that His Majesty the Emperor could decide his life or death at this moment.
When the emperor came in, Li Yuezhu immediately knelt down behind Concubine Chen.
"I have met the emperor."
Although Concubine Chen is in her 30s, her charm is still there. In addition, she is well-maintained and she is someone the emperor knows very well. The emperor has always favored her a lot.
"My beloved, please get up! It's cold here and it's not summer yet, so don't be so formal."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Yuezhu followed Concubine Chen, but Xiao Ran showed special respect to the emperor, even being a little distant.
"My son has met my father."
"Well, how are your classes lately?"
"My master has been boasting a lot lately!"
Xiao Ran looked extremely proud and beaming with joy.
"snort!"
The emperor sat on the chair in front of him and snorted coldly: "Master is praising you for being bold and not seeking to make progress, so just muddle along!"
"Father, forgive me."
Xiao Ran immediately knelt down, looking aggrieved: "Master indeed praised Ran'er, saying that Ran'er is good at governing the country."
"Huh," His Majesty the Emperor obviously didn't believe it: "I think even a loving mother has a bad son, so you should take more care of her and don't indulge her every day."
"Yes! The emperor taught you a lesson!"
The emperor really had no choice but to deal with this seventh son. This boy obviously had real abilities, but he was hiding them every day, and his good talents were wasted by him.
"Who is this boy?"
The emperor saw a boy of more than ten years old following Concubine Chen. This boy had red lips and white teeth, and he was lovable at first glance.
"This is the boy I mentioned to you before."
Concubine Chen placed the fresh fruit brought by Li Yuezhu in front of the emperor. The emperor's eyes lit up, it turned out to be him.
Li Yuezhu immediately knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully.
"Li Yuezhu, a common man, has met His Majesty the Emperor!"
After bowing deeply, he continued: "I don't dare to lie to you, but I'm actually a girl."
After Li Yuezhu finished speaking, he raised his head straight and looked into the eyes of an emperor.
This was the first time Li Yuezhu saw the emperor. Even though he was prepared, he was still shocked by his captivating eyes.
The emperor is worthy of being an emperor, and the aura of having been in a high position for a long time is not obtained casually.
"Are you the boy who often delivers things to Concubine Chen?"
"yes!"
"Where did you get all these things?"
"They are grown by farmers at home."
"Some fruits are unheard of and unseen."
"Grassmen buy seeds from merchants who travel around the world."
Li Yuezhu had already thought about it. No one could find out anyway, so he could just make up any reason, as long as the emperor believed it.
"Traveling around the country? Where is he now?"
"It's reported to the emperor, but the common people don't know it."
"Okay, you can get up. For the sake of your dedication to Concubine Chen, I won't hold you accountable for this."
The reason why the emperor did not pursue the case was probably because Li Yuezhu's shop had boosted the surrounding economy, which was a good thing, so the emperor just turned a blind eye.
"Come on, come and sit over here."
Concubine Chen had told the emperor about Li Yuezhu before. A concubine recognized a goddaughter outside, so she had to tell the emperor no matter what.
"You are indeed pretty with pretty features and good looks!"
The old emperor looked at Li Yuezhu very kindly, mainly because this child was frank, smart, and extremely clean, making him a good boy and a good boy.
"I heard that you wear men's clothing outside to open a shop."
"Reporting to the emperor, it's like this. It's more convenient to wear men's clothes outside. If you wear women's clothes, some people will probably look down on you!"
Men are superior to women. This is a social phenomenon. People nowadays are not aware of the equality of men and women at all, and Li Yuezhu would not say it directly in front of the emperor.
"That's true, you're such a good girl!"
The old emperor praised Li Yuezhu again. He didn't expect that Concubine Chen would do this today after she casually recognized a goddaughter outside.
Even though Li Yuezhu was a boy, he planned such a career at such a young age, which even the emperor felt inferior to.
"I heard that your village has been greatly transformed by you?"
"Back to the emperor, yes."
"You don't have to be so restrained. Since Concubine Chen has accepted you as her goddaughter, we are husband and wife, so of course we are in the same spirit."
After the emperor said this, he laughed. This girl looked very smart. He didn't care about having such an extra princess. If this girl didn't obey in the future, the worst he could do was to marry her off.
"You little girl, what are you still doing standing there? Why don't you kowtow and thank me?"
Concubine Chen was also happy to see her. Although this girl was smart and capable, she lacked a backer. Even if she was a princess in name only, she would be looked down upon by others outside.
Li Yuezhu was stunned for a long time before he knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.
She never thought that because of Concubine Chen's actions, she would actually become a princess in name only.
Even if she is a princess in name only, Li Yuezhu knows that this is hard-won.
The emperor did not have many heirs, only nine in total. In the huge palace, there were hundreds of concubines alone, but there were only nine princes and princesses in total, which seemed to be a small number.
The emperor called Li Yuezhu to sit next to him. The two had an in-depth chat about the crops. Li Yuezhu promised to donate sweet potato, potato and corn seeds to the country for the people to sow.
The emperor was very happy after hearing this, and he was even happier when he heard Li Yuezhu say that the yield of these crops was extremely high and the growth rate was very fast.
Concubine Chen accompanied her with a smile, but Xiao Ran ran to nowhere.
After talking about crops, the topic somehow got involved in governing the country.
"I heard Lin Xingping say that you are a very talented kid, and you know a lot about running a country."
"That's because Brother Ping promoted me. At the beginning, I was just talking nonsense. I hope Your Majesty won't blame you."
"How could I not blame you! Let me ask you, did you say that the people are more important than the king?"
Li Yuezhu's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed quickly and said, "Please forgive me for your ignorance. I asked you to punish me for what I said before."
