Shen Mingzhu looked around and saw that the person speaking was Concubine Li Hui.
Although Concubine Li Hui did not have any children of her own, His Majesty treated her well. Although she could not be said to be very fond of her, she showed a kind of respect that others did not have.
She also gave her two other concubines' children to raise, one was Princess Min and the other was Xiao Yi.
The emperor repeatedly offered to grant Li Huifei a reward, but she refused, and later only asked for a fief for her two children.
Although today's princesses and princes have titles, they do not have fiefs.
After you reach adulthood and have the title of king, you will also be asked to go to the fief when you reach a certain age.
But after going to the fiefdom, the prince and his family members were not qualified to move freely, and they had to be supervised by local officials.
The scope of activities of the prince and his family throughout their lives was in that seemingly spacious palace.
Unless summoned by the emperor, one is not allowed to enter the capital in his lifetime.
Therefore, the fief is not so much their fief as it is their prison.
Their offerings were all allocated by the imperial court, and they were not qualified to take away the produce of the fiefdom. Everything required the imperial court's favor.
Therefore, as a prince, the most worrying thing is that the prince will be unkind to them after his father's death.
Moreover, the current trend is that the princes do not go to fiefdoms, but always live in the royal palace in the capital. In this case, they are even more frightened at any time, fearing that the emperor will punish them someday, and that will be a disaster.
Especially those princes who have been smart since childhood and have been praised by the emperor as virtuous, are especially afraid.
So now that the princes and princesses are all taking share certificates, it is indeed a very special thing that Concubine Li Hui's two children still have a title.
Just because of this, she made countless concubines jealous.
If it hadn't been for the Queen's strong pressure, I'm afraid it would have caused direct commotion among the other concubines.
But the emperor didn't care at all. After all, he didn't lack concubines or children. He could give grace to whomever he wanted. He didn't need anyone's approval at all, especially he didn't like anyone to threaten him.
And those concubines who caused trouble in the past, whether they were favored or had a good background, have long since disappeared from people's sight.
Hearing what she said, the Queen couldn't refuse. She smiled and said, "I still need the princess to nod. After all, it's easy to talk, but in practice, the princess will suffer."
As she spoke, she looked at Shen Mingzhu, looking at her inquiringly.
Shen Mingzhu thought for a while and then said: "Reporting to the Empress and Concubine Hui, I am indeed very busy and have a heavy task. I can still take care of just one or two farms. If there are more, I will really be in trouble.
At that time, it is not a problem that I will vomit blood, but a problem of insufficient energy and inability to manage important events, which delays important events. Therefore, I can only add one or two, and please forgive me, Concubine Hui."
When she said this, the other concubines who wanted to follow Li Huifei's example were speechless.
Especially Concubine Chu Chen, she had long been eyeing Shen Mingzhu's farm and wanted to let Shen Mingzhu help renovate her private farms in the capital.
She has already had people investigate it. If we just talk about the harvest of crops on Shen Mingzhu's farm, the harvest of the same land is more than twice as much as that of other farms.
And if we look at it comprehensively, in addition to food, the farm also produces various other products...
