Chapter 280 The Emperor is greedy
Zheng Sisi was shocked by the emperor's words and thought that the emperor would not really do that.
She said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, you are so humorous, haha!"
After planting the watermelon seedlings, Emperor Yongshun took the two back to the Imperial Study and had a detailed explanation and discussion on Arabic numerals.
Emperor Yongshun said: "This Arabic numeral is indeed much simpler than our writing, and the calculation method is also very practical. I will discuss the feasibility of promoting it with the Grand Tutor, and I will inform you of the results."
Zheng Sisi cupped her hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."
Emperor Yongshun waved his hand and said, "Why are you being so polite to the emperor?"
Emperor Yongshun paused and said, "Sisi, I heard that you used a kind of insect to cook in Qingshui County, which solved the eight-year-long insect plague in the Weishui River area. Thank you, uncle emperor, for doing good for the people!"
Zheng Sisi couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, so she replied carefully, "Your Majesty, I am just a girl who loves to eat and play. I cook with insects to make money. I have selfish motives."
Emperor Yongshun shook his head: "Girl, you are just being modest. The emperor uncles remember all the things you have done. You don't have to worry about others talking about you behind your back. No matter what you do, of course you can't do murder, arson, or other unforgivable things. The other emperor uncles support you."
Zheng Sisi was shocked. Is the emperor so easy to talk to?
Zheng Sisi said quickly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Don't worry, I am very timid and I dare not do anything bad."
"Hahahaha", Zheng Sisi's timid look made Emperor Yongshun laugh out loud, and the third prince who was watching nearby also smiled.
"Girl, I heard your red lobster is very popular. Is it delicious?"
Zheng Sisi was thinking that the emperor was greedy. She glanced at the third prince and saw him nod slightly. Zheng Sisi said, "Your Majesty, how about I make one tomorrow and send it to the palace for you to taste. Then you can give me some valuable suggestions!"
Emperor Yongshun did not expect Zheng Sisi to be so considerate, and immediately said, "Okay, I will wait and taste the red lobsters that harm the people's crops tomorrow. Haha!"
After finishing their discussion, the two men declined the emperor's invitation to stay for dinner and left the palace before sunset.
The third prince asked, "I hope it won't be troublesome for you to deliver the red lobster tomorrow."
Zheng Sisi said indifferently: "It's not a big deal. We have it in the restaurant anyway, and it's easy to make. But I need you to help me deliver it to the palace tomorrow."
The Third Prince turned his head to look at her and said, "I can accompany you to the palace."
Zheng Sisi: "Isn't it inconvenient for you to be alone?"
The Third Prince: "You promised to send it yourself, I can accompany you."
Zheng Sisi was helpless: "Okay, I can't break my promise. I hope I won't delay your business."
The third prince said seriously: "Nothing is more important than your business."
Zheng Sisi patted the Third Prince's arm and said readily, "Thank you, you are so kind to me."
The third prince frowned. Didn't he mean that? He just wanted to find more opportunities to spend time with Zheng Sisi. How could this girl treat him like a buddy? The third prince held his forehead.
I can't just tell her that I like her, for fear of scaring her away, so I have to find a chance to test her.
The third prince was lost in thought as he walked.
Zheng Sisi saw the Third Prince lowering his head and keeping silent. She remembered that she had patted his arm just now. She also remembered what the three little sisters said about the Third Prince not being interested in women and not letting women get close to him. She wondered if the pat she had just made him feel uncomfortable.
Zheng Sisi immediately said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take a photo of you."
…………
After waiting for a while, there was still no response from the Third Prince. Zheng Sisi wondered if there really was something wrong with the filming.
She shouted, "Sheng Zhen, Sheng Zhen..." After several calls without any response, she simply reached out and grabbed his arm and shook it.
The third prince came back to his senses and asked, "What happened?"
Zheng Sisi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he finally responded: "I thought I had found something wrong with you."
The third prince was puzzled: "What's the problem?"
Zheng Sisi: "I called you several times just now but you didn't respond. I thought there was something wrong with the slap I made just now."
