After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Shen Jinyao stood up straight, waiting for everyone to finish laughing in a calm and collected manner.

She chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you may not know that Wuhe Village is called Wuhe Village because it produces very little grain."

"Wuhe Village is a small village on the border of Quzhou. This year, the Qiang people have been constantly provoking wars, and the villagers of Wuhe Village are extremely poor."

When the queen heard this, she wanted to refute it, asking why a young lady from a noble family would worry about such things.

But when he thought that the Shen family was demoted to Wuhe Village, he stopped.

"Although my father was exiled for his crimes, he always remembered the emperor's grace and often worried about lack of food."

"Jin Yao also happened to get some seeds during her exile, so she asked her father to lead everyone in planting one."

"But unfortunately, the Shen family has many members, so we can only rely on a few half-grown children to try to grow crops in the village."

"As expected, with the Emperor's blessing, the crops have been successfully planted. Wuhe Village finally has food to eat."

"I heard from my father that the grain grown by the Shen family was brought to the emperor by the eldest prince."

"Due to the disasters in those two years, food was in short supply across Jiuzhou, even in Shangjing."

"The Emperor specially rewarded the eldest prince, so I think he approves of this matter."

Shen Jinyao said this, looking at the Queen's somewhat unpleasant face, and said: "In this case, what does it matter if Jinyao has a bad reputation?"

The queen had a cold face and said nothing.

How could she forget.

At that time, it was indeed the eldest prince who brought back the potato and sweet potato seeds.

She also asked the eldest prince to take the credit for himself.

However, she heard from Nanny Qian that the eldest prince still said in the court that it was the Shen family who gave birth to the child.

She originally wanted to lose her temper with the eldest prince, but for some reason, the emperor rewarded the eldest prince in the end.

So the matter was dropped.

She also put the matter behind her.

She had only eaten potatoes and sweet potatoes a few times.

After all, we have refined rice and flour, who would eat these coarse things?

However, as the queen of a country, she also knew that she could not take the lives of the people lightly, let alone say such words.

If that happens, not only will the emperor not forgive her, but the vixen in the harem will also spread her words.

At that time, her father's political enemies would submit an impeachment memorial against her.

The Xue family will be in trouble.

The eldest prince was even criticized in the court.

If she is then given a reputation for disregarding the lives of the people and squandering money, she won't be able to hold this position for long.

These were all told to her by Ping'er.

She wrote it all down.

Ping'er also said that although the third prince has now obtained the position of crown prince, there is no need to rush, as he still has plans.

She believed it too.

She was about to open her mouth to say a few words in defense, but she saw Nanny Qian shaking her head slightly at her.

Nanny Qian smiled and said, "The eldest daughter of the Shen family is indeed very sharp-tongued. The Queen didn't mean that."

The Queen nodded awkwardly.

"Our queen has always been the mother of the country, and she sympathizes with the suffering of the people."

"What Her Majesty said just now was simply out of concern for Miss Shen's future marriage. If that's the case, Her Majesty will definitely help you clarify things so that you don't suffer any injustice."

Queen: "Yes, Madam Qian is right."

Shen Jinyao: Why do I feel like something is wrong?

Could it be that a queen is such a simple-minded person?

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You are just like your father. You become serious after just a few words. Hahaha."

Shen Jinyao smiled along.

Nanny Qian made a face at the Queen.

She just saw a piece of yellow clothing fluttering past the side hall.

The queen saw this and said uncomfortably, "Look, I kept you kneeling and forgot to let you get up."

"Mother Qian..."

Nanny Qian naturally had to accept this insignificant scolding.

"Yes, I am guilty."

Shen Jinyao sighed inwardly, it seemed that the master and servant had acted out the role very skillfully.

The palace maid wanted to help Shen Jinyao up.

Shen Jinyao stood up by herself without even swaying.

This surprised both the Queen and Nanny Qian.

Shen Jinyao is indeed not like those weak women.

Nanny Qian personally led Shen Jinyao to sit down.

Then the queen said, "In that case, I will leave the farm outside the city to you."

The Queen did not dare to give Shen Jinyao anything else, after all, she didn't know what the Emperor would do with Shen Jinyao.

Only this one is neither painful nor itchy, and it is worthy of Shen Jinyao's talent in farming.

Of course, it can also help Shen Jinyao repel some rumors.

After all, although the Shen family had only returned to Shangjing for a few days, the affairs concerning the young masters and young ladies of the Shen family had already spread widely.

The rumor about the eldest daughter of the Shen family is that she likes farming, has brute force but doesn't know how to manage the inner chambers.

Of course, the queen was in no mood to find out who spread the news.

It was because she believed these that she thought of saying a few words today.

However, granting Shen Jinyao an imperial farm showed that the royal family had recognized Shen Jinyao's ability to farm.

Those aristocratic families will naturally follow suit and praise Shen Jinyao, and no one will mention the matter of the peasants anymore.

Although Shen Jinyao was surprised, she did not show it on her face.

No one knows who spread the rumor, maybe the queen directed it herself.

It was not until later that Shen Jinyao realized that the queen definitely did not have this ability.

"hehe."

A man's muffled laughter came from inside.

When Shen Jinyao saw the palace maids about to bow, she also stood up.

Who else could the person coming be but the emperor?

Shen Jinyao lowered her head and took a look. She saw that the emperor was wearing court robes.

Has the court been dismissed over there?

If the court session was over, my father and elder brother should have seen the Shen family members at the palace gate.

"emperor."

The Queen's voice couldn't help but become sweet.

The Emperor: "Yes."

"That's Shen Maoshan's daughter, Shen Jinyao?"

The Queen paused, thinking of Shen Jinyao's plain and simple appearance, and nodded calmly: "Yes."

"Okay, look up."

Shen Jinyao looked up and saw disappointment in the emperor's eyes.

Now Shen Jinyao still has nothing to understand.

The information Xiang Hongxuan gave him was indeed accurate.

Even Xiang Hongxuan asked her to change her makeup, probably because the lecherous emperor took a fancy to her.

But she is self-aware of her appearance.

With a beauty like Shen Tingyao at home, she doesn't think she is pretty at all.

At most, she is just a beautiful lady.

The Queen was naturally observing the Emperor as well, and saw a smug look on his face.

"Your Majesty, were you just meeting or..."

The Emperor interrupted the Empress and said, "Empress, I'm craving the peach blossom pastry you made. I also missed it when the eldest prince mentioned it."

When the queen heard that the emperor and the eldest prince both wanted to eat, she no longer had time to think about him.

"In that case, I'll do it."

She had to recall carefully how to do it, after all, she had only done it once since she married the emperor.

How could she remember that the emperor didn't seem to like eating it at that time?
