Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 314 The Cypress Tree with a Mind

While Mr. Chu was discussing specific matters with the emperor and the Ministry of Works, Shu Xiaoxiao, who had nothing to do, was taken by Eunuch Fu to visit the sweet potatoes planted by the emperor himself.

The leaves of the sweet potatoes in almost three acres of land have begun to turn green and slowly wither, but it can also be seen that the sweet potatoes in these acres of land are growing really well and are well maintained. It's just that as the leaves dry up, the appearance is somewhat affected.

Looking at the sweet potatoes sticking out, Shu Xiaoxiao said she felt a little itchy and wanted to dig some. She was going to study in the academy now, and maybe she could even eat the candied sweet potatoes.

"Hey, this doll of yours, are you the little baby they said can communicate with us?"

Shu Xiaoxiao, who was still greedy, heard the voice, looked at Eunuch Fu who was standing not far away, quietly squatted under the big tree where the voice came from, and carefully poked it with his hand: "Have you heard of me?"

"How could I not have heard of you? Although I am in the palace, I get timely intelligence. I have heard of you a long time ago. After all, you can communicate with us in this way. This is the first time I have heard of it in hundreds of years. We are in the palace and we have no choice!" The tone of the big tree was full of vicissitudes, which made Shu Xiaoxiao feel weird. Maybe all the plants in the palace are like this?

There was a sense of... resentment in his words? It should be resentment, right?

Faced with such a situation, Shu Xiaoxiao could only reply dryly: "This is also fate, fate!"

"You discovered this patch of sweet potatoes, didn't you? The old emperor loves it so much that he doesn't even appreciate the precious flowers and plants in the yard. He just stares at these sweet potato seedlings every day. In my opinion, they are just so-so. They are not as tall and straight as our cypress trees with beautiful shapes."

Shu Xiaoxiao looked up and saw that the cypress tree was indeed growing well, with a graceful shape, a straight trunk, a dense crown, and slender, needle-shaped leaves that were as green as jade. But then again, it was growing in the imperial palace, and indeed in the emperor's palace, so it was natural for it to grow well. No palace servant should dare to leave it alone, and the plants should be enjoying top-notch service.

But Shu Xiaoxiao did not refute and nodded: "You are right, I think you are exceptionally good-looking."

"You're quite sweet-talking. I'll give you some information so you don't offend someone you shouldn't have and die without knowing why. The current emperor says you're the lucky star of Daning and he's treating you like a treasure. He keeps talking about how you'll become famous and famous. Anyway, he's treating you with great respect."

"You can ask for more good things. Although this emperor is not the best, he is generally good and can be considered a wise ruler. The eunuch Fu behind you may look kind and benevolent now, but he is very cruel. Fortunately, he is on the same page as the emperor and has a good impression of you."

"And the Queen always speaks well of you. If you have any problems in the palace, just look for these people. But be careful. The Defei in the palace is the best at poisoning people. She has a variety of medicine powders and has framed many concubines without anyone noticing. And the Fifth Prince is a sex-crazed ghost. On the surface, he looks honest, but in fact, he has harmed many palace maids. His mother is also an accomplice to the evil. And the Eleventh Prince has no brains and is often used as a gun by others."

"There are few easy-to-handle people in the palace anyway, so don't let others plot against you. But it's okay, we are here in the palace, and no one can bully you. As long as you are in the palace, we will definitely guarantee your safety."

Shu Xiaoxiao: "........Thank you?"

Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the emperor, she is still the lucky star of Daning. It may be because she discovered so many high-yield plants. This is good. She must be his mascot and discover more crops in the future.

"You're welcome. Now that I've told you so much, can you do me a small favor?" The voice sounded a little embarrassed, but also confident. After all, it had said so much.

“You said…”

It turned out that they had something to ask for. From this point, we can see that the plants in the palace are indeed very smart. The plants outside are straightforward and say what they think, but this one knows to give first and then give, making people feel embarrassed to refuse. You can tell at a glance that it is produced by the palace.

Unfortunately, if it were somewhere else, she would definitely agree without hesitation, but in the palace, she needed to be more restrained and dare not agree casually. If it was something easy, she would help, but if it was something big, it would be a small matter if she couldn't do it, but it would be a big matter if she could cause trouble, so she couldn't agree casually.

"Don't worry, it's a good thing for you. How could I cheat you?" Bai Shu said earnestly.

Shu Xiaoxiao: Smile!

Through the conversation, she now feels that the plants in the palace have become more thoughtful. So, no matter what you say or what you make a fuss about, you can't joke with your head. This is the palace!

Even if it is Fuxing, he has to know his limits. After all, Fuxing only has one head. If he is cheated, he can't even find a witness.

The master has always said that when you go out, you should watch more, listen more, and promise less. Especially if you have a correct attitude and a good posture, others will not dare to cheat you. In any case, you must never promise anything casually. This applies to people as well as plants, especially the shrewd plants in the palace.

Therefore, in this situation, even if the person in front of you is a plant, you should not take it lightly.

Seeing that Shu Xiao did not agree immediately, Bai Shu could only take a gamble. He heard from the plants outside that this little girl was very soft-hearted and would help any plant that asked for help. How could this not seem like it!

Fortunately, this little guy has a gentle aura and pure temperament. Judging from the views of all kinds of people he has met in the palace, the little guy is a good person.

"What I want to tell you is a treasure. There are treasures buried under my feet. It's been about one or two hundred years. There was an emperor who was licentious and immoral during his reign. He loved beauties and treasures the most. Tsk, his lustful appearance opened my eyes. He had many tricks, but he was unlucky and was overthrown by accident."

There was a hint of regret in her tone. Could it be that she didn't see enough? To be honest, she was also quite curious about the debauchery that could open the eyes of a cypress tree!

It feels like this cypress tree is now glowing slightly yellow, which makes it even more curious.

Bai Shu paused, perhaps recalling the scene, and then continued.

"The palace was broken into. When they escaped, they had too many treasures to take with them. The emperor didn't want the treasures to fall into the hands of the rebels, so he buried them next to me, hoping that he would come back one day. But after so many years, the emperor's ashes must be gone. I feel so sorry for myself. With so many things, I can't even stretch my roots. This side is empty and I feel insecure!"

"You should find the current emperor to dig out these treasures. It will definitely be a great achievement, but I have to tell you in advance. When you dig, you must be careful not to dig me up. Fill the soil for me after digging. And... give me two drops of the spiritual liquid they mentioned."
