Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 163; Strange Qi

As he saw Huo Junyao's abilities again and again, the Supreme Emperor paid more attention to his granddaughter than his original love.

Even though he has taken a back seat, he is still very concerned about the future of the Yu Dynasty.

He didn't like the prince's behavior, but because the other party was the prince, there were many things he couldn't say clearly.

After all, what he, the Supreme Emperor, said would have a huge impact, and if he didn't do it right, it could cause shock to the court.

But this time is different. Huo Junyao's potential has been revealed, combined with her attitude towards the emperor some time ago.

The old man knew very well that this granddaughter was not easy to fool. He had to show his attitude, otherwise the little girl might not even pay attention to him.

If this was the case, he knew very well that it would definitely be Yu Chao's loss.

So when he heard Ning Yang's words, he also nodded at Emperor Zhaowu, hoping that he would correct his attitude in the future and not blindly favor his son, thus chilling the hearts of some important people.

The important people here are not only Huo Junyao, but also Princess Ningyang and Huo Jingzhi.

Since the beginning of the new year, he has heard that Duke Ji's family has begun to distance themselves from the emperor and empress, which is not a good sign.

Whether it is a personal relationship or a national level, he does not want to see the relationship between the two continue to deteriorate like this.

Emperor Zhaowu was also a smart man. When he heard what his father said, he understood what he meant. However, things had become like this, and he would not be able to find a chance to make up for it for a while.

In the past few months, he had thought about making amends, but Duke Ji's family didn't give him a chance.

Thinking about it, he has invited Ning Yang to the palace many times, but she has never been there once.

If it were about others, he might be a little tougher, but when it comes to his sister, he doesn't dare at all.

Of course, that's what I mean by saying that I don't dare. It's more because I feel guilty in my heart, I'm embarrassed to be tough, and I'm afraid of making the relationship between them more rigid.

What the Supreme Emperor could see, he couldn't see. Duke Ji's Mansion was originally the party he relied on the most, but now that it was like this, he was quite helpless.

"Since the Emperor and the Emperor are here, let's go to Yaoyao's Xiaohuangzhuang to have a look. I heard that it is new food grown."

Huo Jingzhi did not continue this topic. First of all, he was also dissatisfied with the emperor in his heart. However, the other party was the emperor, and there was a difference between monarch and minister. Even if he was dissatisfied, he would not show it.

"New food?"

Emperor Zhaowu was quite interested.

"Ningyang, do you know?"

However, the eldest princess Ningyang who was questioned did not show any face to Emperor Zhaowu, and got into the carriage by herself without even answering.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Zhaowu touched his nose a little embarrassedly, but the Supreme Emperor next to him sighed slightly in his heart.

"I'd like to thank you for riding in the car with me. I happen to be very curious about what this new grain is."

When the Supreme Emperor spoke, Huo Jingzhi naturally understood what he meant.

Although he was dissatisfied with the emperor, as a minister of the Yu Dynasty and as a family member, he still hoped to talk things out so that their relationship would not be so stiff.

There was nothing he could do. After all, his status was there, and he had never thought about rebellion. Even if he was dissatisfied, he still hoped to resolve it.

The three of them got on the carriage, and Emperor Zhaowu was not in a hurry to ask.

Although he knew that if he asked, Huo Jingzhi would not be as disrespectful as Ning Yang, but since the Supreme Emperor was nearby, he still asked the Supreme Emperor to ask, which could be regarded as a bond between them.

The Emperor did not live up to his hopes.

It's just that Huo Jingzhi doesn't know much about this corn. He just heard about it and ate some. Even so, it still aroused the interest of Emperor Zhaowu and the Supreme Emperor.

When the group arrived at Xiaohuangzhuang, Emperor Zhaowu asked in surprise, "Why is there a wall around Xiaohuangzhuang?"

He was very clear about the past situation of this small Huangzhuang. Although it was called Huangzhuang, it was actually no different from an ordinary village.

"This was done by Yaoyao's people. I don't know the specific reason."

Huo Jingzhi was not talking nonsense. He was quite busy and rarely had time to leave the capital. The few times he came to visit his daughter, he always went directly to the Hot Spring Villa and never visited Xiaohuangzhuang.

He had only heard about the wall.

"The corn grown by my daughter is very valuable. It is related to the food and clothing of the people in the entire Yu Dynasty. Naturally, it must be strictly controlled. What if some people get crazy and cause damage?"

Princess Ningyang suddenly answered, but some of these people had some intentions.

Emperor Zhaowu was helpless about her yin and yang aura, but he couldn't find any reason to refute such considerations.

If it really concerns the entire Yu Dynasty, let alone building a wall, it would be fine to ask him to arrange some soldiers to guard it.

"Ningyang knows about this corn, so he came to tell his father about it."

Regarding the old man's question, Princess Ningyang had another attitude, with a smile on her face and some pride in her eyes.

"Father, this corn is a kind of food that has never appeared in our Yu Dynasty."

"The reason why Yaoyao has it is because of her strange master Yize."

"This thing grows very big, and the grain it produces is much larger than ordinary grain, and it tastes sweet and soft."

"This is not the most important thing. I heard Yaoyao say before that the yield of this corn can reach more than one thousand kilograms per mu."

As soon as she finished speaking, several people around her opened their eyes in shock, even Huo Jingzhi and Huo Jinyan and his son.

Although they all know about corn, they are not very clear about the yield per unit of corn.

Huo Junyao never said it, but when Princess Ningyang asked about it before, she simply said it.

However, Princess Ningyang was skeptical about this at the time.

A thousand kilograms of grain per mu was indeed unimaginable in today's Yu Dynasty.

But why what he said at this time was naturally somewhat like Emperor Zhaowu's intention to show off.

Let your son look down on my daughter, look at how powerful my daughter is?

"Is this really true?"

Emperor Zhaowu was short of breath.

The food problem of the people has always been one of the most troublesome things for him as an emperor.

If this corn can really reach a thousand kilograms per mu, it will definitely be God-given food, and the food problem of the people of Yu Dynasty will be greatly alleviated.

"What Yaoyao said, and whether that's the case, I don't know, but I guess it won't be much different."

Although the eldest princess Ningyang was still a little angry when she saw Emperor Zhaowu like this, the appearance of her daughter like this made her feel a little happier.
