The Tyrannical Emperor Reborn Chapter 44 Part 3

While the Emperor was setting these things in motion, many people both inside and outside the palace were unable to sleep.

Within the palace, the first was naturally the Empress Dowager. The last time, the Emperor had explicitly rejected her proposal on Shen Nian's behalf, which had greatly displeased her. Later, Lin Xiao had managed to soothe her and suppress her anger.

But because of that, whenever the Empress Dowager heard anything about Shen Nian being highly valued by the Emperor, her mood turned foul.

Today was especially so.

That evening, the three brothers sat together, faces practically buried in their bowls, both hands grabbing at the food, grease smeared all the way to the backs of their heads.

Three gluttons sat in a row — quite a fearsome sight. In no time at all, they'd devoured pork leg chunks the size of fists.

Gungun stared longingly at Zhao Ger beside him: "Daddy, want more."

Guaizai never had to ask. The moment his bowl was empty, Xiao Feng used his chopsticks to fill it again.  

This kid could eat a lot. He didn't just eat chicken well, he could finish a whole plate of pork leg by himself too.

Though called a pavilion, the structure was more like a small courtyard, with two side chambers and a large yard, and the tower itself rising beside them.

Emperor Jing had envisioned standing atop the pavilion to watch performances of mythical beasts in the courtyard below.

But after its completion, the pavilion was abandoned.

It was very tall, and climbing up step by step took a considerable amount of time.

Qi Junmu led the way, with Shen Nian following behind, one step apart—close enough to reach out and touch. Neither spoke along the way.

Someone was so shaken their voice trembled. "With fertilizer, one mu really yields four dan? Then how are they selling it? You live in the same village as Lord Fang—do you know?"

"My father-in-law went to ask. He said a bag might cost about two hundred copper coins," Wang Ger said. "Lord Fang said when he sells it, it'll be by the bag—one hundred jin per bag, enough for three mu of land."

At the mention of two hundred copper coins, everyone's first thought was that it was expensive. But when they did the math—in their village, most families had eight or nine mu of paddy fields. That meant buying three bags, for six hundred wen.

Qi Junmu had assumed that if Shen Nian ever came to him asking for a favor, it would surely be something that put him in a difficult spot. He never expected it to be this.

After a moment's thought, Qi Junmu's lips curled into a playful smile. "You mean that pavilion Imperial Father had built but never used?"

Shen Nian nodded. Qi Junmu didn't agree right away, but instead asked, "Why do you want to go there? I thought since you rarely ask for anything, it would be something grand. And this is it? You never thought to ask for something that would benefit yourself—like a promotion or more wealth?"

A few days later, figuring the grain should be about done drying, everyone flocked to Zhao Ger's place. They sacked it up, put it on the scale—and it came to four hundred and thirty-nine jin (219.5 kg). 

The villagers stared for a while, then fell silent for a long stretch. After they'd finally digested it, they asked Zhao Ger: "Where's Lord Fang?"

Zhao Ger said, "He took the children down to the river to catch shrimp."

So off they went to the stream to find Fang Zichen.

They wanted chemical fertilizer too.

Shen Nian's clothes were quickly brought over by Ruan Jiqing. Along the way, meeting curious gazes, Ruan Jiqing could not help but say, with a face full of envy and a sour tone: "His Majesty has granted Marquis Zhenbei the use of the palace hot springs."

Those who had never heard of the palace hot springs did not understand Ruan Jiqing's envy; those who had were even more envious than him, and some were even indignant.

It was said that after the founding emperor established Da Qi, to show that he had not forgotten the generals and strategists who had supported his rise, he specially built a hot spring pool in the palace and often summoned old companions to bathe together.
