Chapter 498

Amidst the bright spring fields, a gentle breeze brushed against their faces.

Qin Mu took a group of people for a stroll along the country path.

It was extremely pleasant!

In recent days, there had been no major events in the imperial court.

Qin Mu had handed over all the transportation and sale of paper to Shen Wansan.

Shen Wansan was a top-tier economic talent; handing these matters to him was the most appropriate thing to do.

As for the construction of the northern border, Qin Mu had placed it in the hands of Zhang Juzheng, who had just arrived from Yizhou City.

As for other miscellaneous matters, they were all handed over to him to handle as well.

Qin Mu was happy to be idle, and with Changle constantly clamoring to go out and play, he found a free moment, and a large group of them came to the outskirts.

"So comfortable!"

"The scenery here is truly beautiful!"

Looking at the idyllic farm scene in the fields, Changle couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Giggle, you girl, you have the most spirit when it comes to eating, drinking, and playing."

Li Xueyan teased from the side with a smile.

"Sister Xueyan, Sister Changle grew up in the imperial palace since childhood, so she must have rarely seen such scenes."

Wu Meiniang also chatted with them with a smile.

Not far away.

Zhangsun Wugou and Li Er were ignoring each other, as if they were sulking.

"Old Fang, what is wrong with Old Li and the Empress?"

Qin Mu, whose attention to detail was as fine as hair, naturally noticed that the two were not right, so he pulled Fang Xuanling to his side and asked in a low voice.

"This..."

"I don't know either!"

Fang Xuanling smiled awkwardly.

Why are you asking me about the affairs of a married couple?

I am a man of honor!

"Looking at Old Li, he is also a 'straight-man cancer' who doesn't understand a woman's heart at all!"

"It looks like he needs to be taught a good lesson."

Qin Mu said righteously.

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Why don't you look at yourself first?

You call others 'straight-man cancer,' but I think you are no better!

"Your Majesty, we have arrived."

Wei Zhongxian walked up to Qin Mu and said respectfully.

"Mm, good!"

Qin Mu nodded and stopped in his tracks.

The others also stopped one after another and looked into the distance.

"Brother-in-law, why did we stop?"

Changle asked curiously.

"I have a newly developed rice variety here, so I came specifically to take a look," Qin Mu explained.

"A new rice variety?"

Hearing this, Li Er immediately perked up and hurried to look into the distance.

But besides the endless rice fields, he couldn't see anything special.

It felt no different from the rice in the Great Tang.

"Old Fang, can you see anything unusual about this rice?"

Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling.

He was the Prime Minister of the Great Tang, so he must understand it better.

"This..."

Fang Xuanling shook his head awkwardly and said, "I really can't see anything special about it."
