475 He was really worried
The next day, Shi Qingluo was summoned to the palace by the emperor.
Shi Qingluo also used this opportunity to request a return to the northern border.
The emperor smiled. “If you want to go back, you may. I will send a group of royal guards to protect you.”
This time, Shi Qingluo had secretly come to the capital to deliver the potatoes, ruining the plans of Prince Jin, those from the previous dynasty and the Ge kingdom. He was afraid that those people would lay their hands on Shi Qingluo on her way back.
Shi Qingluo actually felt that it would be more convenient for her to go back by herself.
However, she had to bring a few hundred catties of potatoes this time.
If she were to transport them in her interspace like before, she might be exposed.
After all, there would definitely be many people keeping an eye on her recently.
Thus, she looked at the emperor gratefully. “Thank you, Your Majesty!”
The emperor thought for a moment and said, “I’ve heard a few of Dumby’s geese are very smart?”
Two days ago, he had received a letter from his royal brother, who kept praising how powerful and smart the green goose was. He couldn’t help but want to raise a big goose for fun.
How could Shi Qingluo not understand what the emperor was trying to say?
She smiled and said, “There are indeed a few that stand out.
“Dumby has always been very grateful of Your Majesty’s gifts, so I would like to give a few of its geese to Your Majesty for fun. I’m not sure if you would accept Dumby’s intention?”
Dumby had too many harems, so there were many male and female goslings born every month.
They couldn’t raise so many big geese in the county government now.
If someone asked for them and the environment was suitable to raise them, she would give them some.
If the geese were sent to the palace and raised by the emperor, they would be the emperor’s pets. They would definitely enjoy a good life.
So when she saw that the emperor had the intention to raise them, she took the initiative to mention it.
Dumby immediately called out to the emperor a few times and bowed again, looking at the emperor with bright eyes.
Hurry up and give out more of my geese, it’s too difficult to raise them.
The palace was quite big, and it was suitable for raising geese.
The emperor was touched when he saw Dumby’s expression.
This goose king was really considerate.
Knowing that the emperor wanted to raise one, it immediately gave him a few of its geese.
“Good, then send it over. I will definitely let my people take good care of it.”
Dumby immediately let out a few more happy cries. This two-legged monster was really not bad.
When the emperor saw it like this, he felt that it was particularly likable.
He waved at it. “Come here.”
Dumby obediently walked over and extended its head for the emperor to stroke.
The emperor liked it even more when he saw it. He reached out and touched its smooth and clean forehead.
“Dumby is so clean.”
Not a single strand of its fur was of mixed colors.
Not only was it black and shiny, it also looked especially clean.
It quacked at him. Of course, it was the cleanness goose king.
“It bathes twice a day,” Shi Qingluo said with a smile.
“It bathes after going for a morning walk and another time before going to bed at night.”
Her Dumby was definitely a pet that loved cleanliness the most.
The emperor chuckled and asked, “Does it shower itself? Or does someone help Dumby to shower?”
Shi Qingluo replied, “He always washes himself. The bathroom in my house has a shower. He will turn on the switch and wash himself.
“If Dumby was outside, he would find a small river or stream to wash.”
The emperor was stunned. “He can turn on the switch to take a bath? ”
The bathing area in the palace had also been modified according to Shi Qingluo’s blueprint, which also had a shower, causing him to enjoy showering more.
He didn’t expect that the goose would turn on the switch to take a bath.
Shi Qingluo picked up her goose and smiled. She was showing off like any other old mother. “That’s right. He knows how to adjust the temperature of the water.”
The shower she had designed had a switch similar to that of the modern world. One could control the mixture of hot and cold water.
She had taught the goose once, and it had learned it.
Dumby proudly puffed out its chest. It was just turning on a switch, so simple.
The emperor smiled and touched its head. “That’s too smart.”
Shi Qingluo took the opportunity to advertise.
“Its geese can also bathe themselves.”
She and Dumby had taught many of them and they knew how to bathe themselves.
Because of this, the emperor had more expectations for the pet geese that he was about to raise. “It seems that Dumby’s geese are also very smart.”
This was good.
He didn’t expect his pet geese to be as smart as Dumby in the future, but he also hoped that they would be smarter and more obedient.
“Prince Yi was ambushed outside Heyang County and was seriously injured. He has been recuperating in your house recently.” The emperor said after chatting more about the geese.
“By the time you return, his injuries should have almost recovered.
“I want you to help him with the canned food workshop.”
He had always thought that Shi Qingluo was a blessed person.
With Shi Qingluo around, his royal brother would be able to enjoy some good fortune and return safely.
Shi Qingluo was surprised that Prince Yi had been ambushed.
However, she didn’t ask much and just nodded. “Yes, I will assist him.”
She was the one who suggested the canned food workshop to the emperor, and she also hoped that it would be carried out according to the previous plan.
The emperor nodded. “When the time comes, ask your mother-in-law to help too.”
The emperor’s younger brother had written a letter saying that it was all thanks to Mdm Kong that he had been saved that day.
Mdm Kong had touched him and he wanted to marry her as his princess.
When the emperor read the letter, he was stunned.
This was too inappropriate.
Not to mention that Mdm Kong’s status was too low, the key was that she was married and had three children.
However, his royal brother said that Mdm Kong was not willing to be his concubine, so he had to work hard to fight for it.
This made the emperor feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Someone despised his biological imperial brother.
After thinking about it carefully, it was rare for his royal brother to take a fancy to a woman and be willing to marry her back to his residence.
In addition, he was almost assassinated.
No matter what identity she had, it was fine as long as she had the intention to marry.
The emperor’s younger brother had also written a letter saying that if he were to tie a knot with Mdm Kong, they would be one family with Xiao hanzheng and Shi Qingluo.
That was the strongest relationship, and Xiao hanzheng and his wife would not betray him.
He knew that his royal brother was afraid that they would despise Mdm Kong’s identity and had deliberately written this.
But on second thought, it made sense.
In-laws were still very important, especially when Xiao Hanzheng and his wife cared so much about Mdm Kong.
Moreover, his royal brother’s health was problematic, so the possibility of him having his own child was very low.
After marrying Mdm Kong, he could have two more sons and a daughter, which seemed to be not bad.
As a result, the emperor also thought it through.
So be it if she was a village woman.
He didn’t care if she was divorced or not. As long as his royal brother was happy, it was fine.
In his heart, he even complained that his royal brother was too disappointing.
He couldn’t even woo a woman he was interested.
It seemed that he needed his help.
Shi Qingluo was a little confused. “Ask my mother-in-law for help? ”
The emperor nodded seriously. “That’s right. It was your mother-in-law who saved Prince Yi when he was attacked.
“I heard that your mother-in-law is very experienced in managing the workshops. She also knows Prince Yi now, so it would be good for her to go and help.”
This was an excuse he had found for his stupid brother to get closer to Mdm Kong. He was really worried.
Shi Qingluo did not expect her mother-in-law to be involved in this.
She kept feeling that something was wrong.
However, seeing that the emperor did not show any strange expression, she recalled that her mother-in-law did become more experienced after managing the sugar workshop in the village and going to the county town to help and look after the canned food workshop.
It was good for that the emperor paid more attention to her mother-in-law.
“Alright!” She nodded without much thought.
