"You haven't married Lizhi yet, don't shout!”
"Yes, sir! Mother-in-law!"
"You…"
Empress Zhangsun was a little angry. This person looked quite smart, but why didn't he know how to think? She had already told him not to call her mother-in-law, yet she still called her that?
But soon, she realized that this kid was doing it on purpose!
The cunning look in his eyes betrayed him!
"Humph!"
She snorted coldly and did not continue to correct him. Otherwise, this kid would continue to take advantage of her!
Moreover, she couldn't punish him!
No matter what, this kid had solved the autumn drought in Longxi and the problem of feeding the people. He had done a great service to the Great Tang.
If he was easily punished, who would dare to offer advice and treasures to the Emperor in the future? I'm afraid it'll make my heart cold.
Even if she put aside all these, she still couldn't bear to see his handsome appearance!
Therefore, she decided not to correct him and changed the topic!
However, he even dared to take advantage of her, the empress. This kid's courage was really not small!
She had to think of a way to give him some difficult problems and find a reason to teach him a lesson!
"The betrothal gift should be arranged by my parents. Why did you come personally?”
When Li Er came back yesterday, he only knew his name and nothing else.
Under such circumstances, it was ridiculous to have a betrothal. Therefore, she planned to ask him about his background first.
"My son-in-law's parents have passed away, and I'm the only one left at home!”
Li Xuan bowed slightly and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Then what do you do for a living…?"
Looking at his elegant and fair appearance, he did not look like a farmer at all. He was even on par with the young masters of the aristocratic families.
"Living on 500 mu of barren land!"
"Hmm…!"
Empress Zhangsun nodded slightly. She glanced at the baskets of sweet potatoes." This is your betrothal gift?”
"There's still one more!"
As Li Xuan spoke, he handed over a small booklet with sweet potato planting techniques.
Empress Zhangsun opened it and took a look. Her beautiful eyes froze." So simple…?"”
Yesterday, His Majesty had been thinking about the planting method of sweet potatoes. He had even asked about it in his sleep.
They originally thought that such high-yield crops would require very complicated planting techniques. Who would have thought that they only needed to cut some branches and plant them in the soil.
Wasn't this too simple?
She put away the small booklet and took out a sweet potato from the palace maid's basket. She looked at it curiously." This is a foreign thing?”
"Mother-in-law, why don't you cook two to try?”
Li Xuan suggested.
"Alright…!"
Empress Zhangsun ordered the white-faced eunuch," Send these sweet potatoes to the imperial kitchen and cook a few. BenGong wants to taste them!"”
"Yes, sir! Empress…!"
Eunuch Xu did not dare to delay and hurriedly ran out with a group of palace maids.
Only Empress Zhangsun, Li Xuan, and Zhangsun Chong were left in the Political Establishment Hall.
"Have you ever studied literature or read books?"
Empress Zhangsun asked after a moment of thought after she dismissed the eunuchs and serving girls.
This kid was skilled in farming and had at most studied in a private school for a few years. He should not know anything about literature and martial arts. Why didn't she embarrass him on this matter so that he wouldn't overestimate himself?
"My son-in-law studied in a private school for three years when he was young!”
Li Xuan didn't dare spout nonsense and answered truthfully.
As the emperor's son-in-law, it was obvious that he would be investigated thoroughly.
If he lied, he would definitely be discovered in the future!
"As expected!"
Empress Zhangsun nodded in agreement.
He had only studied for three years and probably hadn't learned much. Qian 'er and Lizhi had studied under great teachers since they were young and had limited knowledge, let alone him.
If she didn't guess wrong, although this kid was good-looking, he shouldn't have much talent. She only needed to ask him a little difficult question to embarrass him or even retreat!
"BenGong chooses a horse, only those with both ability and talent are qualified. Although you are good at farming, I wonder how much you have learned about martial arts?”
Empress Zhangsun's expression softened slightly as she asked with an inexplicable meaning.
Is he testing me?
Li Xuan met her gaze and looked at her suspiciously.
However, thinking about it, it was normal for a mother-in-law to test her son-in-law. Moreover, this was the emperor's daughter. It was normal for her to test her knowledge.
Fortunately, he had exchanged for the Baidu Search skill yesterday. Otherwise, with the knowledge he had learned, it would probably not be enough.
He had already returned the things he had learned during the nine years of compulsory education to his teacher. There was not much left that he could remember.
"Although little son-in-law has only studied in a private school for three years, he has read a lot of books and has dabbled in literature and martial arts!”
