After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 184: Sugar-coating The Dragon As If It Was Free

Xi Xinheng and Liang Mingcheng hurried over.

If it were not for the emperor, they would have brought their troubled sons home and beat them up.

They first bowed to the emperor. "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The emperor was in a good mood and raised his hand, "No need for formalities."

He asked with a smile, "Why did you come to the palace?"

Xi Xinheng smiled and replied, "I heard that Xi Rui suddenly came to the palace. I was afraid that he would make a fool of himself, so I came here to bring him back."

Liang Mingcheng also said, "Me too."

Xi Rui was lost for words, "Father, I told you that I'm here to do something important. How have I made you worry?"

Xi Xinheng wished that he could use a handkerchief to shut his son's mouth.

He glared at him and said, "Shut up."

Xi Rui gave an innocent look. "Father, you are too unreasonable."

Xi Xinheng was so angry that he almost fell to the ground. "You, I will go back and teach you a lesson."

When Xi Rui saw his father like this, he knew that his life would be miserable when he reached home.

He looked at the emperor pitifully and said, "Your Majesty, please tell my father that I came to the palace today to offer the seeds for official business. Otherwise, he will beat me up when he goes back."

The empress dowager usually liked him very much, and the emperor had always been kind to him, so he was not afraid.

Xi Xinheng really wanted to slap this bastard when they returned home.

Just as he was about to speak, the emperor smiled at him and said, "Okay, he really came to the palace today to do official business.

"If you don't come to the palace now, I would have sent someone to get you."

Xi Xinheng was stunned. "Your Majesty, what official business would this kid have?"

Xi Rui curled his lips and whispered, "Why can't I have official things to do?"

Then, he received a warning look from his father and shut his mouth with a grievance.

The emperor liked Xi Rui, who was straightforward and wasn't one who would scheme against others.

"Nanxi county had some heaven-gifted seeds that produced a thousand catties for every mu of land. They saw the harvest with their own eyes and tasted it first.

"So, the few of them also followed Mo Qingling back to the capital to offer the seeds.

"You don't have to blame him."

Xi Rui immediately said, "Yes, we are here to offer the seeds."

Xi Xinheng was extremely shocked.

Obviously, he did not expect such a thing to happen.

He could not help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you sure that the heaven-bestowed seeds are edible and that they can produce a thousand catties per mu?"

The emperor nodded. "That's right, it has already been verified.

"I am intending to send someone to gather ministers who are fourth-rank or above into the palace. I would like to invite everyone to taste this heaven-bestowed grain."

Initially, he didn't need to mobilize so many people, but rumors had been spreading around recently.

Moreover, if the seeds could produce a thousand catties of corn per mu, as long as they planted these seeds in the next few years, all the people in Daliang would be able to fill their stomachs.
