After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 24 I'm not doing the promotion and wealth.

This side of the palace.

Upon seeing the information brought by his secret guards, the emperor angrily smashed several cups of tea.

Palace attendant: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

His good uncles and good nephews are truly wonderful.

Emperor Chongde said "good" several times in a row.

"Very well, I was merciful not to kill them all back then."

Seeing that His Majesty was so angry, Eunuch Gao quickly sent someone to invite the Empress.

The Empress looked at the mess on the ground and the palace servants kneeling all over it. It seemed that His Majesty was very angry this time.

The Empress waved her hand, ordering the people to clean up the mess on the ground, and then gave Eunuch Gao a look.

Eunuch Gao immediately understood and led them away.

The remaining two were the Empress and Emperor Chongde.

The Empress picked up the paper on the table, glanced at it, and her eyes instantly turned cold, but she quickly regained her gentleness.

He patted Emperor Chongde's hand and comforted him, "Knowing all this in advance, you can deal with it slowly. At least you're still alive now, so you can take your time to deal with them."

The emperor hugged the empress and said aggrievedly, "I should have killed them all back then."

The empress patted him on the back without saying anything.

Others only know that His Majesty used cruel methods to seize power, but who knows the bitterness in his heart?

If he could do it legitimately, why would he need to do it this way?

The Empress comforted the Emperor for a while before Fang Yelin arrived at the palace.

Looking at Eunuch Gao outside, Fang Yelin roughly guessed that His Majesty already knew about her daughter's affair with Zhang Gang.

Fang Yelin was heartbroken; his daughter was suffering terribly.

Fang Yelin glanced at the closed door and asked, "If it is inconvenient for Your Majesty, I will come again tomorrow."

Emperor Chongde inside heard Fang Yelin's voice.

The Empress patted His Majesty and said, "Minister Fang has arrived. Your Majesty should go and see him quickly."

Although Emperor Chongde felt that Fang Yelin's arrival was ill-timed, he also knew why Fang Yelin had come.

He could only kiss his own wife before letting the empress go.

The Empress came out with a slightly flushed face. With the ministers outside and her and His Majesty inside, it was somewhat stimulating.

Fang Yelin quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress, Your humble servant..."

The Empress knew they had important business to discuss, so she gestured for Fang Yelin to rise and said, "I know you have important business to discuss with His Majesty. Go inside, don't keep His Majesty waiting."

Minister Fang bowed again and went inside.

Eunuch Gao also went in to serve them.

Fang Yelin approached Emperor Chongde and bowed.

"See your majesty, long live your majesty."

Emperor Chongde quickly told the people to get up.

Then Fang Yelin took out a stack of papers from his pocket and presented them to Emperor Chongde.

Eunuch Gao quickly went to fetch it and showed it to Emperor Chongde.

I saw a lot of drawings on the paper, with notes next to them, indicating what each period looked like.

The corn seeds are yellow. After germination, they look like weeds. As they grow, the leaves become large and long, and the fruits grow on the stem, with the top of the fruit resembling a beard.

The painting was also three-dimensional, and Emperor Chongde was instantly attracted by Fang Lingchu's painting skills.

"Minister Fang, your painting is truly lifelike! With such a clear drawing and explanation, if you still can't find it, then your abilities are truly lacking."

Upon hearing the emperor's words, Fang Yelin quickly knelt down and said, "It is our fault for not being able to find it. Please calm your anger, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongde laughed heartily and said, "Minister Fang, get up quickly. Your daughter has found such a wonderful thing for us. How could I blame you? However, it would be a waste of her talent to put that girl in the official history."

Minister Fang could only accept it with a smile.

Emperor Chongde smiled and said, "Have her report to the Ministry of Works tomorrow." Minister Fang really wanted to say: Your Majesty, my daughter just wants to slack off, she doesn't want to work. If you do this, she'll nag you again, please don't get angry.

On the surface, she obediently answered, "Yes."

Emperor Chongde will regret his decision today.

While the two were discussing, the Minister of Works, the Minister of War, and the Three Dukes and Three Ministers also arrived.

The group discussed this high-yield grain all night.

The next day, at the Fang residence.

Fang Lingchu woke up in a daze and found herself already at the palace.

She was just about to go to court when she was told that she could rest today and come back tomorrow.

Fang Lingchu felt like the sky had fallen.

As the ministers went to court, they saw that Fang Lingchu looked like she was about to break.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review comforted the young girl, saying, "Young Master Fang, you can go back and get some more sleep now."

After all, he was close by and heard Fang Lingchu keep saying things like disturbing her sleep was against all reason and law.

Fang Lingchu immediately got into the carriage and told the coachman to go back to sleep as quickly as possible.

Fang Lingchu hasn't left her own courtyard in the past few days; she eats whatever the girls bring to her bed.

Fang Lingchu, who was so happy she was oblivious to everything else, was unaware that the emperor had given her another surprise.

When Minister Fang returned in the evening, he looked at his wife who had come to greet him and said, "Go and bathe and change your clothes first, and prepare to receive the imperial edict."

Then he sent a servant to call all the children over.

Fang Lingchu looked at the gleaming imperial edict in her father's hand and had a bad feeling.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Minister Fang opened the imperial edict and read it aloud.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Fang Lingchu, the youngest daughter of the Fang family, is of both talent and virtue, and possesses a kind and gentle heart, which has won the Emperor's favor. She is hereby specially appointed as the sixth-rank official, the Director of Water Conservancy in the Ministry of Works."

Fang Lingchu was completely stunned and dumbfounded.

Minister Fang waited for a long time, but did not see his daughter get up to receive the imperial decree.

He knew this would happen, so he pulled her up and placed the imperial edict in her arms.

Then everyone dispersed, and then everyone went to eat.

Zhang Gang watched as the Fang family left, leaving Fang Lingchu still stunned.

Don't know what to do.

Fang Lingming came over and pulled her away, saying, "She'll be fine once she realizes what's happening."

The group hadn't gone far when they heard Fang Lingchu's pig-like screams.

At the same time, various voices cursing the emperor echoed in his mind.

Minister Fang looked like he knew it.

Fang Lingchu asked the system, "Why did His Majesty suddenly raise my official rank? Isn't he repaying kindness with enmity?"

The system chuckled and said, "[You can wrong him about that. The seed drawing you gave your father yesterday was directly given to Emperor Chongde by him. He felt that using it to compile a book would be a waste of your talent, so he had you publish the drawing.]"

Fang Lingchu became even angrier.

She just wanted to eat corn, but at the same time felt sorry for the people of this era who lived a life of hardship, so she drew corn seeds. She never expected that in the end, she would have to go to work.

Ahhhhhh...

Fang Lingchu went completely mad in the courtyard, and the servants who passed by dared not approach her.

Emperor Chongde learned that Fang Lingchu knew about him. He was going mad even after being promoted.

He laughed heartily. He was an emperor, busy to death every day, but he couldn't stand seeing Fang Lingchu so leisurely.

The system was still comforting Fang Lingchu.

[Host, this is a promotion and a fortune for you. If this were your father, he'd be overjoyed.]

Fang Lingchu glared fiercely at the person inside and said, "I don't want promotion and wealth, whoever wants it can have it," before storming back to her courtyard. Other people get promoted and get rich, but their husbands die; for me, promotion and wealth are a sacrifice to myself!
