The Princess’s Inner Thoughts Were Overheard by Her Emperor Father

Chapter 38

Xiao Chuchu gathered ten full summons and the system rewarded her with an extra pull.

With one breath, she pulled three dazzling golden SSR skill books.

As she read the titles, she was stunned.

The battle array formation, the improved textile technology, and the remedy for the plague.

How practical!

The three books entered her mind and immediately formed an unforgettable text.

At the same time, a message flashed by.

【Randomly enhanced a personal skill.】

【The host skill - Body Fragrance detected.】

Previously, Xiao Chuchu only had one system skill, which was the personal fragrance, which could help people focus and improve their mental state.

Instantly, the reward fell on this skill of hers.

【Body Fragrance upgraded to Lv2: Within one step of you, people may have a 100% increase in all-day brain concentration and a 100% increase in intelligence.】

Xiao Chuchu raised her eyebrows.

In a flash, the faint fragrance on her body did not change.

But just as she had taken her daughter from the wet nurse Zhang Jia, Concubine Liu suddenly paused. She suddenly felt that her thoughts were clearer than ever before!

In an instant, she thought of many things.

For example, a few days ago, her good friend Min Rou was bullied, and she had thought of using her identity as a palace concubine to open up a path for all women and improve the status of women.

But after that, Concubine Liu didn't do anything.

Because there had been too many things recently, she had been anxious about her elderly father and Prince Liao's rebellion, and she had forgotten about the goal of improving the status of women.

But now, Concubine Liu didn't know why, but she suddenly thought of this grand goal from a few days ago.

And she suddenly felt that her thoughts were clear, and she knew how to do it.

Concubine Liu looked at Consort Min, who was happily chewing on steamed buns, and immediately opened her mouth with agile thoughts, "Sister Min, you are a Buddhist, and the Buddha is merciful."

Consort Min suddenly stopped chewing and stared wide-eyed.

Concubine Liu continued, "Recently, the Yellow River flooded, and many commoners were displaced. As a Buddhist, you must feel sorry for these people."

Consort Min: "???"

She had a question mark on her face.

Who knows, her practice of Buddhism was just a facade.

And Consort Min's true personality was straightforward and unconcerned with worldly affairs, and she really hadn't paid attention to the news about the Yellow River.

But since childhood, she had loved martial arts and had a strong heart of a female knight!

"Sister Liu, you're right, if I could help the commoners, it would be great. Alas, we are trapped in the palace."

Holding her daughter, Concubine Liu could smell the faint milky fragrance mixed with the spring aroma on her daughter.

Hearing Consort Min's words, a specific plan flashed through her mind, as if she had become more intelligent.

"Sister Min, I think we are better off in the palace. We can use our identity as palace concubines to unite the idle officials and wealthy women in the capital, and together make winter clothes for the disaster-stricken commoners, how about it?"

Concubine Liu said, finding the pain point of the problem, "It's winter, I don't know how many people are freezing."

"We women can also do our part."

Consort Min's eyes lit up.

That makes sense!

"Sister Liu, I never thought that in addition to persuading me to eat meat, no, in addition to being gentle and kind, you also have such ideas. Helping the disaster victims and making winter clothes, great!"

【Wow, my mother is amazing!】

Xiao Chuchu was excited.

Settling the displaced, providing food, clothing and housing, this could reduce the mortality rate and increase national strength!

【My mother is so smart, this can also be considered a force of the female soldiers!】

Concubine Liu couldn't help but squint and smile.

Even the Fifth Prince Cheng Qian beside her couldn't help but praise and feel guilty, "Mother, you make your son feel ashamed. Your son is not as good as you, your son didn't even think of contributing to the settlement of the winter commoners."

How could he not have thought of it?

"Mother, what kind of fabric do you need? Your son also has some silver given by the former emperor before, and the prince's monthly allowance, about a hundred taels, all give it to you."

Consort Min also expressed her support, "I also support it, I'll contribute three hundred taels. Oh right, Cheng Chang has been copying sutras recently, I'll ask her to contribute a few hundred taels as well."

Cheng Chang was a businesswoman at home.

She had a lot of money, and she was also wicked. Rather than letting her give the money to the palace maids and plot harm, it's better to use it for disaster relief.

"She should agree to it. Sister Liu, this is an opportunity for her to accumulate merit, she should be grateful to you."

【Haha, Aunt Min's mouth, I'm impressed!】

Xiao Chuchu was amused listening to this.

Concubine Liu's face also had a smile.

On the spot, the Sixth Prince Cheng Shan also followed his elder brother, "I also have, um... more than thirty taels, all for Mother Liu."

"Ah, if I had known earlier, I would have spent less and not bought so many sweets."

The room was filled with laughter.

Xiao Chuchu was somewhat moved.

Although she was alone, having come to this strange world of a book. But Concubine Liu, the Fifth Prince, all gave her the warmth of a family.

Consort Min and the Sixth Prince were also very kind.

Everyone wants the commoners to have a good life, and wants Jing Country to become better.

【Oh, my mother thinks about making winter clothes. If I could give her the improved textile technology I just got, that would be great.】

Concubine Liu was stunned.

The Fifth Prince was also taken aback.

His sister's reward has enhanced her abilities?

In addition to warning about the future, she has also given them the superior future technology?

The Fifth Prince took a deep breath, his eyes bright and energetic.

His sister is truly a treasure given by heaven.

He must work harder in the future to protect his sister and not waste her efforts!

【Ah, too bad I'm just a baby now, I can't write out the textile technology.】 Xiao Chuchu pouted unhappily.

No worries, we can all hear your thoughts.

Concubine Liu and the Fifth Prince looked at the small Xiao Chuchu frowning anxiously, and they were both anxious.

Xiao Chuchu closed her eyes, 【If Mother or Brother, or Grandfather could see the things in my mind, maybe Jing Country could still be saved.】

【Otherwise, the national strength of Yuan Mu Country is five times stronger than ours, it's really dangerous.】

Concubine Liu and the Fifth Prince were immediately stunned.

Five times the national strength!

Is this for real?

【Our Jing Country's ranking among the nearby countries is not even in the top twenty. It's ridiculous...】

【If it weren't for the other countries restraining each other and not daring to start a war easily, we probably would have been done for a long time.】

【Forget it, no use thinking about it.】

【Let me take a look at this improved textile technology...】

Xiao Chuchu, who was always optimistic, immediately flipped through the books in her mind.

【Hmm? This SSR textile technology, it's actually optimizing the efficiency of silk processing and the spinning wheel technology.】

【It greatly improves the efficiency of weaving, saving time and silk waste.】

Xiao Chuchu muttered as she read the advanced knowledge in her mind.

She couldn't understand weaving and spinning, so she had to read it slowly word by word in her mind.

【Oh, silk processing, there are so many methods...】

Concubine Liu suddenly stood up, "Sister Min, I'll go back to research the making of winter clothes."

She hurriedly went back to her room and had her personal maid Qiu Li bring paper and ink.

She also hurriedly instructed her son, "Cheng Qian, go to the library and see if you can find some books on weaving and silkworm cultivation for your mother to read."

Cheng Qian's eyes flickered, and he immediately went to do it.

As for Concubine Liu, she hugged Xiao Chuchu and quietly perked up her ears, listening to her mumble the improved textile technology.

Originally, Concubine Liu was not a person with photographic memory.

Hearing it once, she wouldn't be able to remember the improved technology.

But with the little princess in her arms, her memory power today seemed to have increased by more than double.

The spinning, weaving techniques, and the key points of loom modification that the little princess was murmuring, she remembered them all!

In the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager was chatting with the Empress.

The Empress was gentle and respectful, but her words were laced with knives, "Mother, your subject has not been strict in managing the rear palace. Fucha has accused Concubine Liu, and she has been demoted to Rank Noble."

One sentence was enough to make people dislike Concubine Liu.

It takes two to tango.

Concubine Liu was upright and her conduct was straight, how could Fucha Consort just pick on her?

"Empress, you must properly educate the ladies of the palace."

The Empress Dowager could not help but also have a rather unfavorable impression of Concubine Liu.

She did not like the bustle of the coronation ceremony and did not attend the imperial banquet.

But the Empress Dowager had also heard that Concubine Liu and her mother had received the Emperor's six-dish award.

The Emperor was not nearly as respectful towards her, his foster mother!

To be honest, the Empress Dowager was a little envious.

The Empress suppressed her smile, wearing an expression of acknowledging her mistake. "This subject knows, and in the future will strictly discipline the palace ladies to prevent any trouble from arising."

"Mm-hmm." The Empress Dowager nodded sternly, "You must carry yourself like an Empress. Punish those who make mistakes, and I will back you up."

But it wasn't long before a palace maid hurriedly came to report.

"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, Concubine Liu requests an audience."

The Empress Dowager was taken aback, and the Empress was also somewhat perplexed.

"What does Concubine Liu want?"

Previously she was just a consort, without the status to come pay respects to the Empress Dowager.

Now that she has been elevated in rank, this is the first time she has come to the Cining Palace.

The palace maid respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liu says she found a method in her studies that can improve the efficiency of silk reeling, thread separation, and weaving."

"She knows that Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, like the former Emperor, has always cared deeply about the livelihood of the common people and silkworm cultivation."

"So Concubine Liu found this technique and immediately came to inform you."

The Empress Dowager was taken aback, but then overjoyed!

In the past, she had followed the former Emperor, presiding over the Spring Silkworm Festival and even personally supervising the ladies-in-waiting in silkworm cultivation and weaving.

In recent years, as she had grown old, she had begun to enjoy a more leisurely life, but she had always remained deeply concerned about the holding of the Spring Silkworm Festival.

"What a good child, this Concubine Liu is such a good child, quickly have her brought in!"

The Empress: "????"

Her expression suddenly became unpleasant.
