Chapter 944: Chapter 944: Mature and Steady

Zhao Junyao smiled proudly.

”These are potatoes!”

”This is also the result of Jingfeng’s hard work for so long!”

”My beloved consort, have a taste!”

”Hmm... alright!”

Xia Ruqing quickly pulled up a smile and nodded happily.

Then she gently picked up a small piece of potato and put it in her mouth.

After chewing slowly,

she found that ancient potatoes tasted a bit different from modern ones.

Perhaps it’s because... they haven’t undergone artificial cultivation and mutation.

These potatoes, although only the size of an egg, had a very special fresh aroma.

The starch content seemed higher than modern ones, making them softer and more glutinous to eat.

”How is it?”

Xia Jingfeng looked at her with a gentle smile, full of expectation.

Xia Ruqing nodded with a smile.

”Delicious!”

”Even without any seasonings, just boiled, this potato has a natural fragrance!”

Xia Jingfeng immediately smiled.

”Sister, you flatter it!”

”The taste is secondary, what’s most important is that it can fill the people’s stomachs!”

”You’re right!”

Xia Ruqing nodded.

Zhao Junyao, on the other hand, looked at Xia Ruqing thoughtfully.

”Qingqing?”

”Hmm?”

”Tell me, why is this thing called a potato?”

”A bean growing in the soil?!”

Xia Ruqing’s heart skipped a beat, and without having time to think, she quickly pulled out a reason.

”I only saw it once when I was a child in the countryside!”

”The elders there called it that!”

”Probably because they thought that, like beans, it fills the stomach and is buried underground! So they called it a potato!”

This reason was quite strange.

But Zhao Junyao and Xia Jingfeng didn’t think much of it.

After all, if something can grow in Northwestern Yongzhou, who can say it won’t grow in Jiangnan?

So they didn’t doubt it.

After joking a bit, they talked about other things.

Xia Ruqing saw that she managed to get through this, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

’Ah! Being a time traveler, I really have to be careful everywhere!’

A meal.

The three of them ate with much joy and laughter.

It wasn’t until after noon.

Zhao Junyao finally instructed someone to clear the table.

Xia Jingfeng, seeing that the Shi Chen was late, got up to take his leave.

”Thank you, Your Majesty, for the banquet! Thank you, Noble Consort, for your care. I take my leave!”

Zhao Junyao nodded and waved his hand.

”In the future, follow Zhang Yan well in the Ministry of Revenue, don’t let me down!”

”Yes!” Xia Jingfeng quickly nodded.

Xia Ruqing also felt a bit reluctant, and advised him.

”You must be tired after traveling, go back and rest!”

”There’s plenty of space at elder brother’s place, don’t be so formal!”

Xia Jingfeng smiled.

”Elder brother is still the same, cold on the outside but warm on the inside!”

”Eldest sister-in-law is very kind and frequently sends for me, so I can’t refuse!”

”Eldest sister-in-law has already prepared a courtyard, elder sister doesn’t need to worry!”

Xia Ruqing breathed a sigh of relief.

”Then I’m relieved, we are a family, no need to be formal with elder brother!”

”Yes, elder sister, don’t worry!”

Jingfeng was kind of amused.

Even Zhao Junyao looked at her with a faint smile.

Xia Ruqing quickly looked down and waved her hand.

”Then you should go quickly!”

If she stayed any longer, she might not be able to control herself and nag like a mother.

Xia Jingfeng said nothing more, paid his respects, and turned to leave.

In the Imperial Study Room, only the Emperor and his consort were left.

Zhao Junyao turned to look at her.

”My beloved consort, are you satisfied?”

Xia Ruqing lowered her head and smiled.

”Satisfied, thank you, Your Majesty!”

This has fulfilled her long-held wish for several years.

”When did Jingfeng come back? Why didn’t you give me a heads-up, just suddenly called me over... I was so anxious all the way.”

Zhao Junyao playfully tapped her forehead.

”Then can’t you think, what else could it be apart from this?!”

”Silly!”

Xia Ruqing winced and covered her forehead, quickly protesting.

”I just didn’t think of it at the time!”

They say the emperor’s mind is hard to gauge.

Last time it was milk and bird’s nest, who knows what it might be next time! No one can guess!

Zhao Junyao pursed his lips, trying not to laugh.

”Alright, alright, it’s my fault, next time I’ll have Li Shengan make it clear, alright?”

Xia Ruqing looked up and pouted.

”That’s more like it!”

By the afternoon.

Zhao Junyao felt a bit tired, so he took his newly appeased wife to the sleeping chamber.

”Qingqing, accompany me for a nap!”

The emperor, having resolved a major concern, was now in high spirits, leisurely and carefree.

It’s great to live in a time of peace!

The Great Chu Dynasty was thriving, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Even the bitterly cold lands beyond the frontier, a perennial headache for ancestors, were no longer a threat of hunger and cold.

Although not as bountiful as Jiangnan, they finally had their own crops.

They could survive, fill their stomachs, and live well.

That’s enough.

Xia Ruqing didn’t have time to refuse.

She was already on the dragon bed.

The dragon bed was much more comfortable than the bed in her Duanning Palace.

As soon as she lay down, she rolled over and closed her eyes comfortably.

”Your Majesty, you’re really good to me!”

Zhao Junyao propped his chin with his hand, raised an eyebrow slightly.

”Of course, who else would I spoil if not my beloved consort?”

Xia Ruqing giggled and wrapped her arms around his.

”Your Majesty, you know, I was really surprised to see Jingfeng today!”

”I haven’t seen him for three years, and I really couldn’t have imagined he’d change so much!”

”Even now, I almost don’t recognize him, he feels so unfamiliar!”

Zhao Junyao was confused.

”Why unfamiliar? You two are siblings of the same mother!”

Xia Ruqing shrugged and explained.

”I think his appearance changing is one thing, but mainly he’s matured a lot!”

”He used to understand things, but in the end, he was a scholar, talented but stubborn, always had this scholarly pride about him!”

”But this time I saw him, it was like he became a completely different person!”

”All that pride and aloofness is gone, replaced by maturity and stability”

”There’s a saying, with ten thousand thoughts inside, yet calm like still water outside!”

In modern terms, he was understated and luxurious with depth.

Zhao Junyao lightly curled his lips.

”What did you expect? Did you think he spent three years idle?!”

”The Great Chu Dynasty doesn’t need scholars who just quote texts, it needs people who truly care for the people, who are knowledgeable!”

Xia Ruqing didn’t understand the grand theory and just yawned and nodded.

”Yes!”

”Three years of experience outside is always better than reading oneself to death!”

After saying this, her eyelids began to droop.

Zhao Junyao was also tired.

He smiled dotingly and just hugged her, the two of them fell asleep in each other’s arms.

...

After Xia Jingfeng returned to the capital, he temporarily settled at the Hou Mansion.

This time he returned to the capital for a debriefing, and the assessment result given by the Ministry of Personnel was all excellent.

According to Great Chu’s laws, if an official’s assessment is entirely excellent, they can be promoted one to two levels at discretion.
