Chapter 367: With Pearls and Jade in Front of Us, It Is Difficult to Stop Them.

Cold.

Bone-piercingly cold.

Shen Ningning felt like she had fallen on a ball of soft cotton.

But the cotton would turn into water, then wet her clothes and stick to her warm little face.

Her head was dizzy.

"Shen Ningning? Shen Ningning!" Someone gently patted her face, trying to wake her up.

The voice seemed to be far away in the sky, but gradually became clear, right in front of her ears.

The little guy slowly opened his eyes and saw the gloomy sky.

Then, three anxious faces appeared above her head.

Mo Lingwei, Ye Shangyi and Lu Shaoyuan...

The little guy rubbed his head: "Well, fortunately, I still recognize you, I should not have hurt my head."

She sat up as she spoke.

Ye Shangyi breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes turned red.

"You scared us to death! How could you be so careless and roll down all of a sudden."

Lu Shaoyuan frowned even more: "It's too dangerous, sliding down such a high slope. Fortunately, the snow is thick, otherwise you will be miserable."

Shen Ningning raised her watery eyes and looked up.

The top of the slope she slid down was far away.

They actually landed in the center of this depression now.

The thick smell of blood came.

The little guy remembered the reason why he fell.

"I saw the bloody soil under the snow!"

Mo Lingwei was about to pick her up, and he said in a deep voice: "The most important thing now is to take you back and find a doctor to see if your bones are injured."

Shen Ningning quickly held his hand.

She stood up and used her feet to push away the snow.

"Look!"

Under the snow, there was indeed black and red soil.

It looked very strange.

Lu Shaoyuan immediately covered his nose: "What's that smell! It smells so bad."

Ye Shangyi was so scared that her face turned pale and hid behind Shen Ningning: "Is it the smell of blood?"

Mo Lingwei sniffed and frowned coldly.

"It's not the smell of blood."

"It's the smell of rust ore."

After he finished speaking, the others were stunned.

Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes and suddenly remembered.

"An ancient book collected by Crazy Master said: There is ochre on the top and iron below. Ochre is a red stone iron ore."

"Could this be it?!" When it snows, the smell of iron ore will also become heavier.

Ye Shangyi widened her eyes and was extremely surprised: "Then according to what you said, under this layer of red stone ore, there is iron ore!"

Iron materials are scarce, especially in Cangyun Country, which has experienced two natural disasters.

This time, Xie Mingxu fought against Changliu Country on the border, and their weapons were smelted from ironware collected by the whole country.

But this is the last resort.

If there is another war, or if the war is delayed, they will surely become weak and sick generals who are unarmed and at the mercy of others.

Mo Lingwei realized that the matter was serious.

He immediately picked up Shen Ningning: "Let's go up first, I will find the responsible officials to investigate thoroughly."

Shen Ningning was forcibly taken back to the palace by Mo Lingwei.

After the imperial physician's examination, fortunately the little guy was fine.

Not only did he not have any scratches or falls, he didn't even catch a cold.

And the next day, the report of the Ministry of Works was presented to the emperor.

"That whole mountain is actually a whole iron mine! A whole one!" The emperor paced back and forth happily, and couldn't sit still, feeling that the dragon chair was hot on his butt.

He read the memorial back and forth three or four times with great excitement.

"Lucky star, Shen Ningning is really a lucky star!"

The officials of the Ministry of Works present looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Princess Funing still has some skills.

She went out for a trip and found such an important and scarce resource - iron ore.

I heard that this mountain was originally barren, and it was resold by several groups of people and finally fell into the hands of Xie Suzhi.

He didn't want this barren mountain either. The terrain was remote and useless.

If he hadn't thought of letting Shen Ningning take a look this time, he might have sold it to the next person.

Who would have thought that it would be so easy to find that the mountain was full of unmined and unsmelted iron ore!

The emperor has arranged heavy troops to guard it and start mining and refining immediately.

If they can have powerful soldiers and weapons, Xie Mingxu and his men will surely win again!

Mo Lingwei sat in the hall, looking at his father with cold eyes.

The emperor happily paced back and forth, sometimes raising his arms and shouting, and sometimes shaking his head with emotion.

"Have you ever thought about what to reward Shen Ningning with?" Mo Lingwei spoke in a cold voice.

The emperor came back to his senses: "Yes, yes, yes, we need to reward her with something."

"But, last time I wanted to promote her to a princess, didn't you say she didn't want to be too conspicuous?" The emperor was a little embarrassed.

Shen Ningning has everything she wants.

Reward her with a bunch of silver?

Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows and asked lightly: "Don't you have any ideas? Then I'll give my father some ideas."

"Okay, okay," the emperor agreed immediately, turned to the imperial desk, and picked up the pen: "You say, I write."

Mo Lingwei nodded: "First, reward her with 10,000 taels of silver."

He knew that Shen Ningning had all materials.

Silver would never be too much.

The emperor wrote: "No problem."

"Second," Mo Lingwei pursed his lips: "Confer the title of the first rank of the imperial edict on Old Lady Qin."

The emperor nodded and thought: "Well, yes, it should have been conferred long ago. It's not easy for her to support Ningning."

Mo Lingwei looked at the emperor.

"One last thing. If no one's ability surpasses Shen Ningning in the future, she will not be appointed as my female official."

The emperor hadn't reacted yet, and said with a smile: "Okay, I... huh?!"

He came to his senses, raised his head suddenly, and stared at Mo Lingwei.

"What did you say?"

"I don't want to repeat it again. I think you have understood what I said just now."

Mo Lingwei was dignified, with his white and slender hands on his knees, and his expression was proud.

"I don't need any female officials, and don't force anyone from the Li or Zhang family on me. I have a good temper now, not because I have changed, but because I want to change my bad temper, be friends with Shen Ningning, and not scare her."

"If you just force someone over, then you'll have to wait for the other person to collect his body."

The emperor was furious and slammed the table: "Ling Wei! You're exaggerating."

"What a good child the little girl from the Li family is? She donated fifty war horses!"

Mo Lingwei stood up, raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Then Shen Ningning also discovered a mine."

"If it weren't for her dislike of being bound, the position of female official would not be taken by others, and you should worry less about my affairs and take care of your own government affairs."

After that, Mo Lingwei strode away.

"You, you, you, a rebellious son, a real rebellious son!" The emperor beat his chest and stamped his feet, and overturned the teacup in anger.

At the end, the emperor sighed.

"But what he said makes sense."

Putting Shen Ningning here, if everyone wants to surpass her, they have to work harder.

The emperor thought this method was not bad.

So, he picked up the imperial pen again and made decrees for the several things Mo Lingwei requested.

He never mentioned the earlier decision to make Li Yuyi the crown prince's female official.

It was half a month later that the news reached Nanzhou.

The sky in Nanzhou City had long been clear, and there was a beautiful scene of winter plum blossoms blooming.

An eight-year-old girl in bright clothes stood in front of the window and learned about the flying book express from the capital.

She was so angry that she tore up all the practiced calligraphy on the table and threw it directly into the charcoal fire behind her.

There was a muffled "bang" sound, and the flames licked the paper.

Xie Yuanjiu happened to walk to the door. She took a look inside the house, picked up the calligraphy that had not yet burned to ashes in the fire, and slapped the flames to put out the flames.

"Yuyi, what's wrong with you? I have practiced for so long, wouldn't it be a pity to burn it?" She sighed.

Then he said, "Isn't it because Shen Ningning made things difficult for her? I told you long ago that she is not simple."

The little girl at the window turned around, with a round face and phoenix eyes, wearing the finest silk and satin, with a fire fox around her neck, which made her look even more angry and red.

"I just donated the war horse the other day, and then she found an iron mine. The emperor thought she was better and never mentioned letting me be the crown prince's female official again."

"Shen Ningning herself didn't want to be the crown prince's female official, but she also kept this position and didn't let others sit. You said she was only five years old, who would believe it!"

She was suddenly compared to the disgusting tile and stone that "pearls and jade are in front of you, and it's hard to be a tile market"!

Such a scheming child is now regarded as a serious concern by Li Yuyi.

"If there is ochre above, there is iron below" comes from - "Guan Zi·Di Shu Pian"
