The Emperor Has An Illness CH 36-61 (END)

Chapter 49.2

When He Xiang saw this, she laughed and said, "Mistress, look at how the Bureau Chief of the Department of Agricultural Products treats you as if he is giving sacrificial offerings to a celestial."

Liao Qing Qing asked in response, "Does he treat me like a celestial?"

"That's not all. The Department of Agricultural Products staff treats the Mistress like a celestial."

"Is that true?"

"Mm. Mistress, you may be unaware, but this maidservant[1] heard about it the other day."

"Heard about what?"

"I heard that after you discovered this potato, all the people in the Department of Agricultural Products had their salaries doubled, and everyone was privately thanking the Mistress."

"They are thanking me for the silver, right?" Liao Qing Qing pointed straight to the crucial point.

He Xiang insisted, "They are definitely thanking the Mistress. Mistress's merits are certainly not measured in silver. There is no telling how many people will benefit from this in the future."

Liao Qing Qing smiled.

He Xiang said proudly, "Mistress is that amazing!" When the concubine candidates entered the palace, He Xiang was assigned to serve Liao Qing Qing in Lisheng Pavilion. Liao Qing Qing was just a small Liangyi for a long time.

Compared to the palace maids, she wasn't really surviving very well.

But she didn't think about it that much. She just wanted to serve her master well. However, she didn't expect that Liao Qing Qing was going to be the head of the imperial harem in just over a year. Her monthly salary was much more than the others and her parents and younger sister were living better than before.

He Xiang was not a person that compared with others unrealistically.

But she was still overjoyed to have achieved something good, especially since her mistress had discovered potatoes, which had such a high production rate. The poor would have a better time in the future.

She was proud to be able to serve her mistress.

Liao Qing Qing smiled and continued the conversation, "I think I'm quite amazing too."

He Xiang laughed along with her.

The master and servant got along very well.

After departing from the Department of Agricultural Products, Liao Qing Qing got on the carriage, and He Xiang walked beside her. The weather was already hot by this time, and Liao Qing Qing stayed at the Department of Agricultural Products for quite a while. After returning to Lisheng Pavilion, bathing and changing her clothes, Liao Qing Qing was in good spirits.

She heard the birds chirping around her and wanted to go out for a walk. So she said, "He Xiang, let's go out for a walk."

"Mistress, where do you want to go?" He Xiang asked.

Liao Qing Qing said, "To a cooler place."

"A rockery or by the lake?" He Xiang thought about it and added, "You can also go to the bamboo forest. There are people over there who clean the bamboo forest. It's cool to walk around in it, just that there are some mosquitoes."

"No need to go to the bamboo forest. We can just walk casually to look at the trees and listen to the birds chirping." It had been a long time since Liao Qing Qing had strolled around the imperial harem, mainly because the potato matter was sorted out and Liao Qing Qing wanted to relax. If she could, she would like to go on a picnic tour.
