Quick Transmigration: Pangu is Actually My Brother

Chapter 446 The Flower of Barrenness (21)

Perhaps seeing how diligently they worked, the senior scholars would teach them things to varying degrees, which made the two of them even more diligent in their work.

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Urgent news came from the south: a sudden flood had occurred in Sichuan, submerging vast amounts of farmland and leaving people homeless and suffering terribly.

After receiving the message, Wangyou took Tian Xiaoyu to the backyard and dug up some potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans, corn, and other things that had been planted, as there wasn't enough time to plant them.

However, the yield is quite good; if you lift up a sweet potato vine, you can see a bunch of sweet potatoes.

Wangyou summoned Tianye and had him take a basket to find Murong Guan.

Tianye is currently only a minor official of the sixth rank and is not qualified to see the emperor. Finding Murong Guan is the fastest way.

The two of them carried a basket of sweet potatoes and potatoes into the palace overnight. Since Tianye had been keeping an eye on this land, he spoke eloquently about it.

Upon hearing that the grain might yield 10,000 catties per mu, the emperor couldn't sit still any longer and immediately decided to leave the palace to witness it for himself.

After seeing the two off, Wangyou summoned Tian Zhuang, made arrangements, and then returned to her courtyard to rest.

The emperor came secretly and saw the two acres of land in the backyard of the Tian family. He started digging it up himself and found bunches of sweet potatoes and potatoes. After tasting the dishes made with sweet potatoes and potatoes in the kitchen, his eyes lit up.

He then went to Tian Zhuang's house and took a look at the four or five acres of sweet potatoes and potatoes planted in the field. He was overjoyed and immediately dug up a basket to take back and have the imperial chef cook them.

The emperor brought these out during the morning court session. This kind of grain can be harvested twice a year in the south and is not picky about the land. Isn't this a good thing to solve the disaster in the south? It's just that there are a few seeds.

Of course, before that, some grain should be transported to the south for disaster relief, at least until the people have a harvest.

After discussing it, Tianye and Tianzhuang decided to use the same method they had used to repair the river, having wealthy households contribute silver and grain.

In addition, the Ministry of Revenue's broadcasts indicated that the disaster relief funds were more than sufficient. Fu Jinzhang directly dispatched Murong Guan to provide disaster relief, with Tian Ye and Tian Zhuang accompanying him, to prevent anyone from embezzling funds.

Murong Guan was probably the most unhappy about the emperor sending him away. A few days before his departure, he stayed at Wangyou's place for a whole day, and finally left reluctantly.

After seeing off Murong Guan and the others, Wangyou's life remained largely unchanged. If there was any change, it was probably that more people were sending invitations to her family.

These noble ladies couldn't help but be curious, since Murong Guan had many admirers in the capital, and they all wanted to see what kind of woman had managed to win over this unattainable beauty.

Wangyou closed the door and pushed everything away. As for the Song family, there were some things she couldn't refuse. After all, they were officials' wives, and basic social obligations still needed to be observed. Besides, Tianye should also be looking for a partner.

However, on this day, the Princess's residence sent out an invitation to them to attend a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. After all, they were her future in-laws, so Wangyou couldn't be too disrespectful.

"Xiaoyu, pack your things and come with me and my mother to the banquet."

"Me too?"

"Of course, you can't hide forever. Besides, it's just eating, drinking, and watching the fun, there shouldn't be any problem."

"OK then."

After they finished packing, the group headed to the Princess's residence.

Wangyou wore a light yellow dress today, which made her look quite lively.

This was Wangyou's first appearance before the noble ladies of the capital, so there were quite a few people waiting at the door to watch the spectacle or ridicule her.

But when Wangyou appeared in front of these people, all their thoughts vanished. How could this person be so beautiful? It was completely indescribable, and no adjective could do justice to her.

A little beauty can evoke envy, but extreme beauty can prevent even envy.

"Miss Wangyou, please come this way with me." The head maid of the Princess's residence was already waiting at the door. When she saw Wangyou and the others arrive, she quickly led them to find the Princess.

This brought the crowd waiting at the entrance to their senses, causing them to blush with embarrassment, and the entrance suddenly became unusually quiet.

"You look beautiful today!"

"Thank you, Your Highness. You look beautiful too, and even younger!"

"Really? It's all thanks to the beauty cream you made. It's incredibly effective."

"If you like it, I'll make you a few more boxes in the future."

"No, don't overwork yourself. How have you been feeling lately? Are you feeling any better?"

"much better."

Seeing that her daughter had captured the princess's attention, Madam Song breathed a sigh of relief. She decided to still look for a suitable match for her son.

Once the banquet officially began, the eldest princess and Wangyou came out together, which made everyone realize how much the eldest princess valued this future daughter-in-law. Those who wanted to cause trouble thought twice.

Others admire chrysanthemums, using them as a metaphor for people. They appreciate flowers to forget their worries, and they also think that these flowers would be great for making flower tea.

Wangyou and Tian Xiaoyu sat to the side, and none of the other noble ladies came up. Wangyou was very comfortable.

"System, are you sure the Crown Prince will take this route later?"

"Confirmed, the system's calculations are accurate. You'd better work on winning over the Crown Prince."

"Xiaoyu, did you hear anything?"

"No, Wangyou, what did you hear?"

"It's nothing," Wangyou shook her head.

What is this "system" thing? And what's this strategy guide? Is this another person who isn't the original?

Wangyou sipped her tea and continued watching the noble ladies perform their talents.

"Ding! A person with great fortune and great merit has been detected! Host, you've struck it rich! As long as I absorb her fortune, I can level up ten levels in a row. Then I can buy whatever I want."

"Which one?"

"That woman over there in the yellow dress, her face is truly blessed by the heavens. If it weren't for the fact that this system is short of energy, I really wouldn't be willing to devour her luck and merits."

Wangyou suddenly looked toward the source of the sound and saw a round-faced girl. The girl's eyes had the same clarity and naivety as when she first met Tian Xiaoyu, but also a hint of weariness.

"That's the eldest princess's daughter-in-law. Besides, she's in poor health. If she loses her luck and merits, something bad might happen to her. I'd better continue trying to win over the eldest prince!"

"Warning! If the host disobeys the system three times, an electric shock punishment will be imposed. Please win her over as soon as possible!" The system's voice was cold.

Wangyou looked into the girl's eyes and clearly saw panic and fear. In addition, Wangyou also saw a gray mass.

The object gave Wangyou a bad feeling, and she couldn't help but frown. Such supernatural things should not exist in the human world.

Yu Huan moved closer and closer to Wang You, her eyes filled with helplessness, and even a hint of death in them.
