The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

Not surprisingly, Xiao Yibai's group won first place today.

When preparing to return to Beijing the next day, Mu Xiyue wanted to leave the fire fox in the hunting ground, but the fire fox just stayed on Mu Xiyue and squeaked non-stop.

It’s not that Mu Xiyue doesn’t want to raise it, it’s just that this fire fox is too eye-catching. After all, it is the auspicious beast of the Apocalypse Kingdom!

In the end, it was the emperor who decided to let Mu Xiyue take the fire fox back to raise it, even if she didn't take good care of it.

The fire fox seemed to understand what people were saying. It happily jumped off Mu Xiyue, ran to the emperor's feet, squeaked a few times, and then returned to Mu Xiyue, making the emperor laugh out loud.

In addition to the fire fox, Mu Xiyue and Xiao Yibai also brought back two wild boars.

There are domestic pig farms in Tianqi Country. The meat of domestic pigs tastes better than wild boar meat, and the current weather is not suitable for making bacon and sausages.

It was already dark when I returned to the mansion. Although the weather was cool in early September, the dead pig could not be kept for long. Wild boars were bled when they were killed, so it was not difficult to dismember it now. I called a few guards to dismember and skin it.

Wild boar skin is generally not eaten by anyone. When Mu Xiyue was in Mujia Village, she killed wild boars herself and sold the skins to pharmacies. Wild boar skin is a good medicinal material, but there are many wild boars in this era, and the skins are not worth much.

The next day, Mu Xiyue was going to the farm. The sweet potatoes were already four months old, and she wanted to see if they were ripe. When Xiao Yibai heard that she was going to dig sweet potatoes, he was also very interested and did not go to court.

When they arrived at the farm, Mu Xiyue distributed some of the wild boar meat she brought to Zhang Da and his three families, and had the rest sent to Xiao Yibai's farm.

Old Man Tian was very happy to see Mu Xiyue coming and said, "Miss, those sweet potatoes can be harvested. The stems and leaves have started to turn yellow in the past few days. I dug up one plant yesterday. It's not as big as the seed potato you gave me, but I dug out seven big ones and three small ones from it. I weighed them and they weighed a total of 37 kilograms."

As Old Man Tian spoke, he asked his grandson to take out the sweet potatoes he had dug yesterday. Mu Xiyue saw that although the sweet potatoes were not as big as basketballs like the mutant ones, they were still much larger than before the mutation. Each of the seven large ones was as big as a grapefruit. Only the three small ones were the size before the mutation.

Mu Xiyue didn't rush to dig. She first asked Old Man Tian's grandson to wash a big sweet potato, and tested the skin and flesh of the sweet potato with colloidal gold test paper. She was relieved to find that they were indeed non-toxic.

Unexpectedly, the mutant sweet potatoes are still of mutant size when they arrive here, and the plants no longer contain toxins. This is the ideal state.

Mu Xiyue naturally didn't need to do the digging of sweet potatoes. After returning to the farm, Zhang Da was in much better health than before, so he went to dig sweet potatoes with Old Man Tian and the others.

Because Mu Xiyue was not sure whether she could grow the crops, she did not plant much this first time. She only planted less than half an acre of land in total. This was achieved by planting sweet potato seedlings through cuttings.

After all the crops were dug up and weighed, the total harvest was nearly 4,000 kilograms, equivalent to a yield of about 10,000 kilograms per mu.

Lunch was prepared by He Daniu's wife. Mu Xiyue asked her to steam a big pot of sweet potatoes as the staple food.

The sweet potatoes are sweet and sticky, and taste exactly the same as the mutated sweet potatoes.

Mu Xiyue kept 3,500 kilograms for seed potatoes, and left less than 300 to 400 kilograms of sweet potatoes for Old Man Tian and his three families. She also gave some to Xiao Yibai's farm, and some were transported back to the palace.

The next day, Mu Xiyue brought ten sweet potatoes into the palace. Each sweet potato weighed five or six kilograms, so ten of them weighed fifty or sixty kilograms.

Xiao Yibai had already mentioned Mu Xiyue's high-yield crops at the morning court. The emperor had been waiting for Mu Xiyue in the imperial study and was very surprised to see the sweet potatoes. Xiao Yibai said that sweet potatoes grew in the soil like potatoes and tasted great.

The sweet potatoes were sent to the imperial kitchen to be steamed. When the emperor saw that Fire Fox was not with Mu Xiyue, he asked about it. Mu Xiyue said that Fire Fox was having fun in the Princess's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion.

This fire fox was really clever. When they were at the hunting ground, they clung to Mu Xiyue, afraid of being left behind. Once they arrived at the Princess's Mansion, they stopped clinging to her and ran around the two mansions. When it was time for dinner, they would wait at the door of the dining hall, and sleep in the outer room of Mu Xiyue's bedroom at night.

The emperor was even happier after hearing this. "This shows that this spirit beast is destined to be with you two. Take good care of it!"

The steamed sweet potatoes were quickly delivered from the imperial kitchen. Eunuch Lu personally watched over the steaming of the sweet potatoes for fear of making any mistakes. The sweet fragrance was really tempting.

The emperor asked the two of them to eat together, and Mu Xiyue did not refuse. Her main purpose was to prove to the emperor that this was really edible.

The emperor ate a small piece and exclaimed, "It really tastes good. Xinping, how did you find this sweet potato?"

Mu Xiyue had already prepared her story. "Your Majesty, these are what I occasionally found in the mountains when I was in the countryside. I was so poor back then that I would try anything I found to see if it was edible. I also have a few vegetable seeds, which I bought from a merchant I met while shopping in the county town. I heard they were seeds brought back from overseas. I originally wanted to plant some in front of my house in the countryside, but I haven't planted any since I came to the capital, so I don't know if they'll work."

The Emperor asked, "Jinzhi said that the sweet potatoes can yield tens of thousands of catties per mu? How many mu of land can you plant with the sweet potatoes you're saving for seed?"

Mu Xiyue did a quick calculation in her mind, because after the sweet potatoes grow vines, they can be cut and planted by cuttings, and these sweet potatoes are like the mutated sweet potatoes she has seen in the apocalypse, with many buds, one sweet potato has at least ten buds, which is much more than the buds of non-mutated sweet potatoes.

"Your Majesty, based on the amount I planted this time, I estimate I can plant a hundred acres. However, although I grew up in the countryside, I have never farmed before. This batch was planted by people on the farm, so I can't say for sure. Xiao Yibai said he wanted to promote this sweet potato so that people all over the country can grow it, so the seed potatoes I left are at Your Majesty's disposal."

The emperor should have thought about it long ago. He smiled and said, "Xinping is indeed Tianqi's lucky star. This matter will be handed over to Jinzhi and the Sinong Division to jointly coordinate. The Sinong Division can be dispatched by Jinzhi on this matter."

Xiao Yibai agreed readily. He didn't want anyone else to take Mu Xiyue's things.

Mu Xiyue curled her lips and said, "Your Majesty, please don't say that this humble servant is the lucky star of Tianqi. I'm afraid that someone with ulterior motives will kill me."

The emperor said angrily, "You are not very capable, yet you are afraid of being killed. What kind of rapeseed seeds did you bring back from your trip to the west with Jinzhi? When can you plant them?"

Mu Xiyue chuckled, "Wait until next spring, if the rapeseed oil is successfully pressed, it will be delicious."

In fact, she didn't think much about it, but just took it for granted that it should be planted in spring. But then she thought about it carefully and realized that it might have to be planted in autumn.

The emperor wiped his hands and motioned for Eunuch Lu to take the uneaten sweet potatoes away. He then asked, "How did Xinping know that rapeseed can be used to produce oil?"

Mu Xiyue made up a story, "I've read about it in a book. When I was in the countryside, I had the good fortune to be taught by an old man. He had a large collection of ancient books that recorded many unusual plants."

Mu Xiyue had thought of this excuse a long time ago. Her skills must have a source. She made up a master so that she could put all the blame on her unusualness. She didn't care whether others believed it or not.
