Meanwhile, in the palace, Emperor Zhu Zichen was still furious. "You didn't find anything? Impossible! Why do I keep you here? Keep looking for me."

The eunuch walked into the ceremony and said, "Your Majesty, your junior sister is here."

Oh! Quick, go and invite her in.

Siyu walked into the hall, looked at the ministers kneeling on both sides, and asked in confusion, "Brother, what are you doing? Who made you so angry?

Zhu Zichen's face changed in an instant. "Junior sister, now that you're here, it's because these old guys are useless. I've raised them in vain. It's really difficult to ask them to find something."

How dare this country girl call the emperor "brother"? How could a woman show her face in public? She should strictly abide by the rules of womanhood, be virtuous and kind, and be gentle and modest. How could she be so careless and ignorant of etiquette?

The Grand Secretary was an old-fashioned man, and when he saw Siyu he started to belittle and criticize her.

Siyu rolled her eyes and said, "Who are you? Why should you care about me? What I call you, Senior Brother, is my business. Senior Brother, Senior Brother."

You, you, little brat, you make me so angry.

Siyu continued to ask, "Senior brother, you haven't told me what made you so angry?"

Hey, didn’t these people go to those houses to search and find nothing?

Oh, what are you looking for, brother? Let me help you find it!

Okay, junior sister, you have suffered a lot over the years, how can you help me find things?

It's not that difficult, leave it to me. Oh, brother, I brought the high-yield seeds I promised you.

Emperor Zhu Zichen was so angry that he waved his sleeves and sat back on the dragon throne. He said, "How dare you, Grand Secretary Du, what else can you do besides being a Zhihu fan? When will it be your turn to be here to meet my junior sister?"

I dare not.

I think you are very brave!

Come here, the Grand Secretary has made a mistake in front of the palace, please take him away.

Your Majesty, I am innocent. I have always been thinking about Your Majesty and have no intention of being disloyal.

Siyu watched the Grand Secretary speak so harshly to his senior brother!

The guard who came in said nothing, dragged the Grand Secretary, gagged him, and walked out.

Okay, little sister, now that the annoying person is gone, tell me why you are here!

Senior brother, I came here this time to give you the high-yield grain seeds I promised you, but... Siyu looked around.

How could the emperor not see this? He waved his hand to the ministers, "All of you, leave!" As if granted amnesty, the ministers stood up and bowed as they left the hall. Some were still muttering, "I was so scared, I almost lost my life!" "Yes, yes!" The ministers echoed in agreement...

Among this group of people, there was one person who glared at Siyu with eyes full of resentment, blaming Siyu for ruining his good fortune.

No matter how resentful others were, Siyu ignored them and continued walking towards the emperor...

Brother, I'm sending you some high-yield grain seeds this time, but there's a catch. First, let me make it clear! I'm not giving it to you for free; you have to pay for it.

Zhu Zichen's bad mood from the morning disappeared when he saw the high-yield grain seeds brought by the junior sister. Seeing the junior sister's playful behavior, no one else could compare to her, so the emperor reached out and tapped the junior sister's nose, saying, "You, you, good, good, senior brother has prepared everything for you."

After talking with my junior sister, my gloomy mood improved a lot and I nodded happily.

Okay! Then, Senior Brother, please pay me five thousand taels of silver! Siyu stretched out her white and tender little hand...

Zhu Zichen saw that his junior sister was a money-grubber and only asked for 5000 taels. He knew that these high-yield seeds of his junior sister were priceless treasures. The junior sister only went through the motions and did not ask for more money out of consideration for the fact that they were fellow disciples.

Zhu Zichen was deeply moved. Even though it was their first meeting, the junior sister still cared about him very much. So he thought about compensating the junior sister with some local specialties and rare treasures.

Siyu, however, was thinking, "Now that you've had enough to eat, and that the two countries have established a friendly alliance, they should refrain from harassing the border and avoid further war." When Long Linxiao becomes emperor, she'll feel much more at ease. What are you thinking? Emperor Zhu Yangchen doesn't know, but he's certainly happy right now.

The high-yield varieties that Siyu brought included rice, potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Siyu put away her smile and looked serious at Zhu Zichen. She said, "Brother and sister, we only hope that with these high-yield seeds, the two countries will have friendly diplomatic relations and avoid war in the next hundred years."

Zhu Zichen thought about it and agreed. This is a good thing. Who would want to fight a war if they have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear? For ordinary people, having enough food to eat, clothes to wear when it's cold, and medical treatment when they are sick is a good life. Who would think about conscription and fighting?

After saying this, it was already noon, and Zhu Yangchen asked Siyu to stay in the palace for lunch.

Okay! Didn't I promise to help you find something? Let's eat quickly and then go. I'm leaving tomorrow.

It’s so fast! Senior brother hasn’t taken you around to have a look yet?

Next time! Brother, it's been over two months since I left this place, and it's almost the end of the year. My parents and brothers must be worried...

Inside Prime Minister Zhou's residence, his wife, Li Yunlian, paced anxiously back and forth: "Prime Minister, what should we do? What should we do now? The entire residence is trapped and no one can enter or leave. What is the emperor trying to do? You have worked diligently and diligently, and even if you have no merit, you have worked hard. The emperor has no evidence, so why is he surrounding the prime minister's residence? What is he trying to do?

All right, thunder and rain are all God's grace, just be quiet for a while, don't keep circling around in front of me, it makes me dizzy. What do you know, woman?

Li Yunlian had been crying silently and complaining to the Prime Minister. But this time, after being yelled at by the Prime Minister, she let out a loud voice. "Well, Zhou, what sin did I commit to marry a bastard like you? You have a slew of women in your backyard and countless illegitimate children. If it weren't for my dowry, you and your concubines wouldn't have lived so comfortably. Now you think I'm noisy, I'm going to fight you."

Prime Minister Zhou: "Alright, that's enough, stop making trouble."

Li Chen sobbed and said, "We are old, and if something really happens, we will die, but our little great-grandson, grandchildren are still the roots of our Zhou family! Where is Jun Mo? Such a big thing happened at home, and there is no one to be seen. Jun Ge is only three years old!"

Well, Madam, you have worked hard to run this family for decades, and I, Zhou, feel sorry for you.

"Master, what are you talking about? We've been married for decades. I'm doing what I should do."

A couple of decades old, they exchanged glances, and understood each other's meaning. They stopped arguing and returned to their rooms to await their grandson's return... Speaking of this secret passage in the house, it was when my grandson, mischievously playing as a child, hid there, only to find him two days later. Initially, it was the old woman who wanted to block the passage, or I stopped her myself. Now, well, it's finally useful, helping to preserve the Zhou family's bloodline...

Okay, senior brother won’t force you to stay in the palace for dinner. When do you set off tomorrow?

Siyu: "Brother, we will set off at noon tomorrow."

Well, senior brother has prepared a surprise for you?
