Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and picked up the sprouted potatoes and sweet potatoes piled on the ground and started cutting them into pieces according to Liang Shulan's instructions!

Soon, five acres of potatoes and five acres of sweet potatoes were planted.

Yu Ruyue stood on a high slope, looking down at all the cultivated land below, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Manager Yang, who had not appeared in public for a long time, just went through the motions and then went back to slack off because he fell ill.

He still didn't believe that a woman disliked by the emperor could come up with anything. She had never heard of potatoes, sweet potatoes, or corn. She could only fool those illiterate people!

Especially when he heard Yu Ruyue tell Sinong Shaoqing that one acre of paddy field could produce about 2000 kilograms of rice, he rolled his eyes to the sky.

He was also more certain that Yu Ruyue was nothing and knew nothing. She just wanted to come here to pretend and attract the emperor's attention.

What kind of seeds? What kind of land? Could one acre of land yield 2000 kilograms of rice? Even the gods in heaven wouldn't guarantee a -kilogram harvest.

After all, those pieces of land are more than one acre, but during the autumn harvest, only two or three hundred kilograms can be harvested at most!

"Humph! Nothing at all."

As soon as he got home, Yang Jiaojiao came to greet him, "Dad! What happened to His Majesty? Why hasn't he come for so long?"

"My daughter hangs around that woman's door every day. Her face is tanned and her legs are thin. And I don't see anything special about that woman!"

"She doesn't have the temperament of a lady from a wealthy family at all. She's just like an ordinary farmer's daughter. Every day she's either dealing with this seed or that seed!"

"He even did menial work like farming himself!"

"I don't know what your majesty likes about her. Apart from her pretty eyes and fair skin, she looks just like that."

Yang Xiaobao, a carefree man, held up a silver ingot and chimed in with disdain, "Dad! You didn't see it. That woman was truly vulgar. I saw with my own eyes that she took off her shoes and socks, rolled up her trousers above her knees, and went to the fields with those peasants to plant rice."

"We even went to plant some corn together."

"You are such an unfaithful wife! I won't even accept your offer even if it's free."

Manager Yang looked at the five taels of silver ingot in his son's hand and asked hurriedly, "What are you going to do with the five taels of silver?"

Yang Xiaobao looked mysterious, "Dad! Guess who I'm hooking up with?"

"who!?"

He raised his neck proudly, "The current Empress."

Yang Jiaojiao snorted disdainfully, "His Majesty the Emperor has never married, so where did the Empress come from? Yang Xiaobao, have you been deceived?"

Yang Xiaobao glared at Yang Jiaojiao fiercely, "Women are long on hair but short on knowledge. What do you know?"

"I have received accurate information. His Majesty has already decided on the candidate for Empress, and the Empress has already given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The twins are inscribed with the Royal Jade Butterfly. They are legitimate princes and princesses!"

"Also, the city is filled with joy. I heard that His Majesty is planning a grand wedding for the Queen who just gave birth!"

"Furthermore, Your Majesty and the Empress have known each other for a long time. They have truly been through life and death together, and their love is as deep as the sea. For this Empress, Your Majesty has repeatedly argued with the ministers in the court, righteously refusing to choose a concubine!"

"Dad! Instead of relying on Yang Jiaojiao to win His Majesty's heart, you should rely on your son, me, to curry favor with the current Queen."

Manager Yang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Twins!? Deep love!? Yu Ruyue's image instantly emerged in his mind, but he quickly ruled out this possibility!

She was the Empress, the Mother of the Nation, the epitome of womanhood. How could she possibly be in a farmhouse in the suburbs, hanging out with the peasants, planting rice in the fields herself? It was simply impossible.

However, he still asked nervously, "Where is the Queen now?"

Yang Xiaobao rolled his eyes, "Dad! What are you asking? Of course it's in the palace."

Yang Jiaojiao also thought of Yu Ruyue, "Dad! Don't worry, even if your daughter becomes the queen, that peasant can't be the queen!"

Yang Xiaobao finally realized what was happening. He held his stomach and laughed heartily, "Dad! You don't think the one living on the farm is the Queen, do you?"

"How can this be?"

"The Queen is such a noble person! How could she possibly come to our remote countryside to farm?"

Steward Yang also thought so. "But this woman clearly came out of the palace. I saw it with my own eyes that day. It was Lord Liuguang who personally escorted her here."

Yang Xiaobao curled his lips, "Dad! I always thought you had some inside information, so you said this woman was the Empress in the palace, but it turns out you only saw Master Liuguang."

"You should have said it earlier! Maybe this person is someone that Master Liuguang keeps outside."

"Even if this woman really does have a relationship with Your Majesty, it's a shameful one. After all, what man wouldn't cheat? We should be happy about this. If, as the rumors say, Your Majesty and the Empress are truly deeply in love, then there's no point in having a younger sister."

Yang Jiaojiao quickly recovered from her sadness, "Yes! I believe that as long as His Majesty sees me, I will definitely win His Majesty's heart."

Manager Yang was so happy when he saw his children who were very confident in front of him.

"Good! Having raised two good children like you, Dad is content for the rest of his life."

"Yes! Xiaobao, what are you talking about the Queen's family?"

Yang Xiaobao threw the silver ingot into the air, then grabbed it with a fierce smile. "The man your son is marrying is the Empress's biological brother. If we wait another month or two, after the Emperor and Empress' wedding, I can arrange for him to become a seventh-rank official."

Manager Yang and Yang Jiaojiao were both very shocked. They even gave him another five taels of silver and repeatedly told him to come back for more if the money was not enough.

When Yang Xiaobao took the silver ingot and left in a nonchalant manner, he made a disdainful snort as he passed by Yu Ruyue's yard.

The protagonists who were being chased by the three members of the Yang family, Shen Chou and Yu Ruyue, were entertaining the children in the house.

"Why did you come so early today?"

"You look so worried, is there something wrong?"

Shen Chou sighed, "Oh! Damn Qin Shi! They emptied the entire treasury. I originally wanted to secretly hold a grand wedding for you while you were at the farm, but when I looked at the account book, it was a mess, with countless losses."
