Chapter 38

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!

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.
