The Pretty Man I Picked Up [Time Travel]

Chapter 195 Qionglin Banquet

Lin Qingjiu stroked Xu Haorui's clothes, "Aruimo is going to drink too much. My son and I will wait for you at home."

"Yeah."

Xu Haorui lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead, "I'm leaving."

"Dad, come back early." Xiao Wuyu raised his head and said.

"Okay." Xu Haorui rubbed his head, "Listen to Dad at home."

Xiao Wuyu nodded obediently, "Yeah."

Luo Mingxuan's carriage was waiting outside the house. After Xu Haorui said goodbye to the two of them, he went to the palace with him.

At the Qionglin Banquet, in addition to the newly promoted Jinshi, there were also many court officials and royal children.

The table was full of food and a variety of utensils.
Unlike other Jinshi who secretly observed the dignitaries in the court, Xu Haorui sat next to the second place and looked straight ahead, pondering the food and utensils in front of him.

Listening to the people nearby competing openly and secretly to compete in poetry to win the favor of the emperor, Xu Haorui sighed in his heart, if he didn't eat it, the food would get cold.

After about two quarters of an hour, the emperor asked the new Jinshi who were competing in poetry to stop, raised the golden cup in his hand, and congratulated the Jinshi who passed the exam.

All the ministers raised their cups in return.

After putting down the golden cup, the emperor said: "My dear Xu, tell me, how did you discover potatoes and sweet potatoes, and how did you cultivate them?"

Most of the people present didn't know that potatoes and sweet potatoes with such a large yield were discovered by Xu Haorui.

Everyone opened their mouths in shock when they heard this.
Xu Haorui was suddenly called out, and was slightly startled. After reacting, he immediately bowed and replied briefly: "Your Majesty, I accidentally found wild boars eating these two on the mountain. Out of curiosity, I thought about digging them up and investigating, and then I figured out how to plant them."
"Well, my dear minister Xu is thoughtful and intelligent, and he is working for the benefit of the people." The emperor said with an unclear expression.
Xu Haorui didn't know what he meant by mentioning this here. He believed that Wen Chengyu could not have failed to report the reason to the emperor. He could only bite the bullet and reply: "Thanks to your majesty, the people can have a good harvest."

The emperor looked at him and said: "My dear, tell me what reward you want. I will agree to it."

Xu Haorui was secretly thinking about the emperor's intention and carefully organizing his words, but before he could speak, someone said: "Father, I have a suggestion."

Xu Haorui looked over and saw a handsome young man sitting to the lower right of the emperor. He didn't know which prince he was. Thinking of this, Xu Haorui secretly said that it was not good. ┇思┇兔┇网┇文┇文档┇分享┇与┇在线┇阅读┇

He didn't want to get involved with the princes.
"Oh, then Zhen'er, tell me." The emperor looked at his son with a little surprise.

Xu Haorui had a headache watching the father and son singing the same tune.

"Father, I think the third place winner is very talented and handsome, just right for my Seventeenth Brother. Old Seventeenth is already seventeen years old, which is a good age to get married. Isn't he always asking for a husband with both talent and appearance? Mother should have mentioned it to you."

Speaking of this little brother, the emperor also had a headache, "Well, go on."

"Yes, father, I think the third place winner is just what my brother wants. Father, why don't you let the third place winner add another happy event when he passes the imperial examination, and arrange a marriage between the third place winner and Seventeenth Brother, so as to relieve my mother's worries and also solve the problem of your reward to the third place winner."
