The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

The lights in the Yangxin Palace were brightly lit. Liang Zhan summoned ministers into the palace overnight and the conversation lasted until the early hours of the morning.

"Your Majesty, it's already three quarters past midnight. You should rest for a while before attending the morning court. You are the master of Daxia. You must ensure the health of the emperor so that you can proceed with your plans."

Qi Deyuan also stayed up all night, his little eyes were so sore that he could hardly open them.

Liang Zhan has been immersed in the joy of the new variety of rice created by Chongyue.

It was not until Qi Deyuan reminded me that I realized it was almost dawn outside.

Liang Zhan pinched his eyebrows, and now his hands were filled with the fragrance of rice.

Liang Zhan raised his hand and pointed at the small bag of rice and the rice that had just been harvested but had not yet been threshed, and said to the Minister of Agriculture:

"Take these. From now on, this kind of rice will be called Fu Yue Xiang. Chong Yue said that this kind of rice will mature in three to four months. I will give you a year to figure out its growth patterns. By this time next year, I want to see double the amount of rice presented to you."

"As the Minister of Agriculture, you should understand the importance of this rice to the people. If this rice gets out during this period and anyone knows about it, I will execute your entire clan."

Liang Zhan's tone turned cold, and the Minister of Agriculture, who had just been holding the rice with great excitement, was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Yes, yes, I understand. After I return home today, I will move to the imperial farm to watch over it. I will never let these rice out of my sight, and I will never let anyone know."

The Grand Minister of Agriculture held the rice in his hands, his heart pounding. He wished he could risk being beheaded and rush to the Yiku Palace to ask the Fifth Princess how this rice was developed.

After hearing the Grand Minister of Agriculture's assurance, Liang Zhan turned around, his eyes calmed down, and said to Xiang Huayan:

"Hua Yan, you are Chongyue's uncle. I order you to take your men and cooperate with the Agricultural Department to take good care of these rice crops during this period. I believe that you will protect Chongyue's hard work."

Xiang Huayan respectfully saluted the emperor and received his orders:

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely protect Chongyue's hard work and the future of the people of Daxia."

Xiang Huayan didn't expect that the emperor would summon him late at night for this matter. He had heard his father mention Chongyue's intelligence a long time ago, but he didn't expect that she could achieve things at such a young age that those well-read and knowledgeable top and bottom scholars could never achieve in their entire lives.

When the emperor first said this, he couldn't believe it. But when he saw the plump grains of rice and the heavy ears of rice, his heart beat faster than when he almost died on the battlefield.

He fought on the battlefield all year round, and no one understood better than him the importance of food to soldiers on the border.

The loess soil at the border cannot grow rice. Although Daxia was a powerful country, the soldiers at the border often had no rice to eat.

Coarse grains can fill you up but not keep you hungry. Once a war breaks out, it will last at least half a day. The soldiers will fight to the end with all their might.

There should be no more wars in Daxia in the next few years. After a few years, the new rice developed by Chongyue will be mass-produced, which will provide another layer of protection for the soldiers defending the country.

Xiang Huayan's hands hanging on both sides of his body trembled constantly, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest with excitement.

"Okay, I'm relieved by your words. Qi Deyuan, I'll ask for leave from Crown Prince Hua Yan and the Minister of Agriculture this morning. I'll notify the Ministry of Personnel later."

"Let's all go back."

After Qi Deyuan and his men left, Liang Zhan took out another bag of rice from the drawer of the desk.

Smiled silently.

"Dark one."

"The slave is here."

A huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the hall.

Liang Zhan threw the bag of rice in his hand onto the desk.

"I don't want to repeat what I just said. Take this bag to Sifangtai. I'll give you six months. After six months, I want to see results. Also, go and improve the lie Chongyue told today. Don't let anyone catch her."

"Yes, I will do it right away."

An Yi took Dao Gu away. Liang Zhan leaned on the dragon throne, thinking of Chong Yue's serious look while talking nonsense, and smiled and shook his head.

"You're still young."

Liang Chongyue was lying on the big bed in his mother's bedroom, unaware that his lie had been discovered by his scumbag father.

She really didn't know how to explain to her mother, so she just wanted to get away with it by pretending to be asleep.

Xiang Huayue propped herself up, she had a lot to say to Chongyue, but seeing Chongyue pretending to be asleep seriously, she hesitated and remained silent.

She reached out and brushed the hair off Chongyue's face. Chongyue looked like her, but he was still childish and his facial features had not fully developed.

Her daughter is so smart, better than any man in the world, and she is proud of Chongyue.

But extreme wisdom will inevitably lead to harm. If Chongyue were a little more mediocre, like an ordinary woman who only loved to play with flowers and the moon, recite poems and compose essays, she would be able to protect her and ensure a safe and smooth life, no matter how arrogant and domineering she was.

But she was so smart that she wanted to hide her shortcomings, but she couldn't bear to bury her talent.

Although Liang Chongyue closed his eyes, he could still see the confusion and distress on his mother's face through the system screen.

"Host, are you really not going to open your eyes and take a look? Mother looks so pitiful."

The system nudged Liang Chongyue aside. Liang Chongyue was silent for a moment and then turned off the system screen.

"She gave birth to a daughter who was destined to be extraordinary. It's better to get used to some things sooner rather than later."

Liang Chongyue forced herself to sleep after she finished speaking. No emotion could be heard in her tone, but the system could sense that she was not as high-spirited as she was in the backyard in the evening, and did not dare to approach her again to provoke her.

Liang Chongyue closed his eyes and forced himself to empty his mind and sleep.

Half asleep and half awake, she vaguely heard her mother whispering in her ear: "Protect yourself... Everything is safe and sound..."

Liang Chongyue responded subconsciously and fell asleep completely.

The next day, Qi Deyuan came to Yiku Palace and read the imperial edict in front of all the concubines when the concubines came to pay their respects. Liang Chongyue got up early and waited in the side hall. This was the first time in her life that she received an imperial edict.

As soon as Qi Deyuan stepped into the gate of Yiku Palace, Liang Chongyue received the news.

Although I had already read the contents of the imperial edict last night, receiving it today in front of everyone in the harem had a different meaning.

She specially chose a red gauze cloak with hundreds of butterflies and gold double happiness patterns, which was festive and dignified.

Qi Deyuan had long known that the Fifth Princess's appearance combined the best features of the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort Chen, but he was still amazed by the Fifth Princess's outfit today.

The Fifth Princess doesn't often wear such bright colors. It's rare to see her like that. She looks bright and playful. Wherever she stands, she looks extremely wealthy. One can even vaguely see the shadow of the Emperor on the Fifth Princess.

Liang Chongyue knelt down beside her mother, and then she heard Qi Deyuan's sharp voice:

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: My fifth daughter, Chongyue... should be granted the honor of bathing in the springs, to honor her dignity and respect. Ten thousand households may be added to her fiefdom, and she may be promoted to the title of Princess Zhenguo. This is my decree, Fifth Princess, please accept my decree."

"Your Majesty, I accept your order and thank you for your grace."

Liang Chongyue stood up and took the imperial edict. When she looked up, she saw beads of sweat on Qi Deyuan's temples. It was only morning, and there was plenty of ice in the mother's palace. It shouldn't be so hot, right?
