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

He left two kilograms of cooking oil for Qi Heng and took the rest back to the palace.

The next day, Mu Xiyue asked someone to divide the cooking oil into four portions, each weighing five pounds. One portion was sent to Yu's house, two portions were sent to the palace, and she only kept five pounds for herself.

There was no morning court today. It was not until the end of Chen time that Xiao Yibai accompanied Mu Xiyue into the palace with cooking oil.

Last year, the emperor said that some new crops had been planted and sent to the palace, and rapeseed was also mentioned at that time.

Xiao Yibai opened the ceramic jar containing cooking oil, and the aroma of cooking oil immediately filled the entire imperial study.

The emperor couldn't help but walk out from behind the dragon table and look at the rapeseed oil in the pottery jar next to Xiao Yibai. "Is this the oil pressed from the rapeseed that Yue'er planted? How does it taste?"

Xiao Yibai smiled proudly, "I used this vegetable oil to stir-fry two dishes for breakfast in my residence. The taste is better than cooking with soybean oil. Does your Majesty think it is particularly delicious?"

Then he pulled out a paper bag from his bosom, which contained a handful of rapeseed. "This is rapeseed. I only planted less than half an acre this time and harvested 130 kilograms. I kept 50 kilograms for seeds and only squeezed 22 kilograms of rapeseed oil. Five kilograms of this is for Father. Yueyue and I will send the remaining five kilograms to the Empress Dowager later."

The emperor pondered in his mind, "So this acre of land can produce about 300 kilograms, right? Have you calculated how it compares to soybean oil? How many crops can be grown in a year?"

Mu Xiyue sat on the side and listened to the conversation between the father and son. She did not interrupt. No matter whether rapeseed oil was worth growing compared to soybean oil, she would definitely grow it on her farm next year. Although soybean oil now had some fragrance, the bean smell was too strong. Dishes cooked with soybean oil were not as delicious as those cooked with lard.

Xiao Yibai had obviously done his homework. "Soybeans yield about 250 kilograms per mu, and rapeseed yields about 300 kilograms per mu. One hundred kilograms of soybeans yields about 15 kilograms of oil, and one kilogram of rapeseed yields about 28 kilograms of oil. Currently, we only plan to plant one crop per year. We haven't tried it yet, so we don't know if we can plant two crops."

The emperor was delighted to hear this. "Very good, very good! Yue'er is indeed the person chosen by the auspicious beast. She is truly the lucky star of my Tianqi."

Mu Xiyue was furious after hearing this. "Father, please don't say that your daughter-in-law is a lucky star. If others hear it, she will be envied."

Who wants to be a lucky star? Mu Xiyue's original intention of growing rapeseed is just to improve her own life. If the emperor is willing to promote it, she will not be stingy to share some seeds.

The emperor did not care about Mu Xiyue's attitude. Instead, he felt that this was the way Mu Xiyue interacted like a child and his parents.

"You little girl, if others were to receive my blessing, they would be so happy, but you despise it. What are your plans for this crop?"

Mu Xiyue said, "Father, this isn't food after all. Ordinary people usually grow grain, so we don't plan to promote it for now. If anyone wants to grow it, your daughter-in-law can provide seeds, but that will have to wait until next year. This year, I'll plant all the 50 kilograms of seeds myself."

The emperor nodded, "Okay, you guys can do whatever you want!"

After having lunch at the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace, the two returned to the palace. Xiao Yibai had something to do, so Mu Xiyue went back to take a nap.

She never had the habit of taking a nap before. She didn't know if it was because of her pregnancy or the warmer weather these days. She felt sleepy in spring, tired in autumn, and took naps in summer, but she wanted to sleep as soon as the afternoon came.

As the days passed, Xiao Yibai became busier and busier, while Mu Xiyue became more and more idle.

By mid-May, Mu Xiyue's belly was already noticeably pregnant. The belly of more than six months of pregnancy was already very obvious. Xiao Yibai would not let her go out alone, and he was still worried even if there were guards accompanying her.

Xiao Yibai's affairs were almost finished, and Mu Xiyue didn't want him to be distracted so she stayed in the palace and didn't go out, although she felt that pregnancy did not affect her supernatural powers.

As soon as Mu Xiyue walked out of the yard in the morning, she saw Qi Yun and others in the yard.

Seeing Qiyun's cheerful face, Mu Xiyue was curious and asked, "Qiyun, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Qi Yun scratched his head and said with a smile, "Princess, I'm asking for a few days' leave on behalf of Xiao Tao. My Xiao Tao is pregnant. She vomited violently last night and even threw up her breakfast. I'm worried she's not feeling well."

Mu Xiyue's face lit up with joy. "Really? Have you asked a doctor to see her? Oh, how can you leave Xiaotao at home alone? Didn't the Princess's Mansion reserve a yard for you? Go and fetch Xiaotao'er quickly. You two can live here from today."

Mu Xiyue treated Xiaotao as her younger sister and gave her her own courtyard since she moved into the Princess Mansion. When Xiaotao got married, Mu Xiyue said that the Princess Mansion was Xiaotao's natal home and that courtyard would always be reserved for her.

Qiyun was also very worried about Xiaotao. He asked Xiao Yi for a day off today, but the doctor said that Xiaotao's morning sickness was so severe that this situation might last for two to three months. He couldn't take leave every day, and he couldn't find a suitable person to take care of Xiaotao.

Seeing Qi Yun's hesitation, Mu Xiyue urged him, "Hurry up and pick him up. Today is the day that Imperial Physician Lu takes my pulse. It's a good opportunity to ask Imperial Physician Lu to take Xiao Tao's pulse as well."

When Qi Yun heard that Mrs. Lu was asked to take Xiao Tao's pulse, he no longer hesitated and bowed to Mu Xiyue, "Yes, thank you, Princess. I will go get Xiao Tao right away."

Qiyun and Xiaotao arrived quarter of an hour later. Xiaotao looked pale and not in good spirits.

"Miss, did you feel uncomfortable at first? I feel nauseous just by smelling the food."

Xiao Tao sounded aggrieved, and it seemed like she had really vomited a lot.

Xiao Tao is not serving Mu Xiyue personally now. She happened to be taking inventory of goods in several shops these days, and she hasn't been to Mu Xiyue for several days.

Mu Xiyue hurriedly asked Qiyun to help Xiaotao sit down, "Why do you look so bad? When did you find out? Did you buy some sour plums to calm your stomach?"

Qiyun quickly answered for Xiaotao, "Princess, she vomited violently after dinner yesterday. She went to the doctor and found out she was pregnant. I bought her some sour plums last night, but she couldn't eat them."

In fact, Xiaotao had morning sickness a few days ago, but it was not serious. Qiyun was busy with Xiao Yibai recently and did not notice anything unusual about Xiaotao. The morning sickness started to get worse yesterday.

Qiyun thought there was something wrong with the food, so he hurried out to find a doctor. The doctor found out that Xiaotao had been pregnant for more than a month. Qiyun was both happy and distressed.

Mu Xiyue's morning sickness was not severe at that time, and it was much better than Xiaotao's current condition.

"Guyu, go to the kitchen and tell Aunt Li to make a few more dishes, just like what she used to make for me."

Guyu answered yes and went to the kitchen. Mu Xiyue said, "Qiufeng, Bailu, from now on, you two will stay with Xiaotao and take care of her."

Xiao Tao said hurriedly: "No need, miss, there are only four people serving you, I have nothing to do."

Mu Xiyue deliberately showed an annoyed expression, "Shut up, do you want me to listen to you or you? Believe it or not, I will beat you up."

Qi Yun was startled. It was rare to see Mu Xiyue with such an expression. He actually thought that the princess was angry, so he hurried forward and knelt down in front of Mu Xiyue to apologize for Xiaotao.

"Please forgive me, Princess. Xiao Tao did not mean to contradict you. She is too weak to bear the punishment. I will take the punishment for her."

Mu Xiyue nudged Xiaotao with her elbow and said, "Seeing Qiyun sticking with you, I feel relieved. Get up. I was just joking with Xiaotao. If you really beat her up, you might not be able to be a father anymore."

Xiao Tao felt very sweet in her heart. She could talk and laugh without restraint in front of Mu Xiyue, but she was still very shy when talking about the topic of couple.
