Probably every ancient emperor could not resist the charm of potatoes and cotton, and Yan Shu was no exception.
After learning about the effects of potatoes and cotton, Yan Shu happily found someone to experiment and promote it.
The result is naturally whoever chooses the best.
Because of these two crops, Yan Shu, who was already popular among the people, was even more loved by the people.
Previously, the people's support was due to the gimmick of the golden dragon coming to the world, and the people's awe for ghosts and gods. But now, it is their love from the bottom of their hearts.
"His Majesty is indeed a true Dragon Emperor. He discovered such high-yielding potatoes as soon as he ascended the throne. The yield per acre can reach up to 1,000 kilograms! If every household can plant a few acres, we will no longer have to worry about going hungry."
"Yes, and that cotton, it's so warm! This winter is colder than in previous years. In the past, we often heard that people froze to death somewhere, but we rarely heard of it this year."
"Wearing thick cotton clothes, eating fragrant roasted potatoes in the house, my body is warm, and my stomach is full. Such a good life, I never dared to think about it before!"
"This is all thanks to Your Majesty. She was sent by God to save the people of the world. Otherwise, why didn't such a good thing be discovered before? Why did Your Majesty discover it as soon as he ascended the throne?"
"Yes, yes, I would say, we should build a monument to His Majesty and wish Him a long life, so that our lives can get better and better."
"Yes, it's time to erect a monument to your Majesty's immortality!"
…
When Yan Shu and the "system" left the palace for a private visit, they overheard these discussions in the teahouse.
Yan Shu couldn't help but sigh, "The common people are the easiest to be satisfied."
She just did a small thing, and yet she was loved by them so much, which made her feel very happy.
Yan Qing smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. You will be the first empress of the ages. From now on, you will be supported by all people and your reputation will last forever."
Yan Shu shook her head, "This is not my credit, but the credit of your system. With the help of a magical system like yours, I believe that anyone can achieve a great career. I bear these prestigious names in vain, but I have a lot of hope in my heart. ashamed."
"You can't say that. Not everyone is willing to trust a system with unknown origins, and not everyone has the world at heart and is willing to seek the welfare of the people of the world. Otherwise, there would not be so many foolish kings and tyrants. These potatoes Even if I take out the cotton, it won’t make a difference if no one promotes it, so you don’t have to belittle yourself, you deserve this reputation.”
After listening to the system's explanation, Yan Shu felt even more at ease.
She now believes that the system has no ill intentions toward her, and instead is wholeheartedly helping her. Because it gave too much, Yan Shu felt that nothing in her body was more valuable than what the system took out. If it had an agenda, it would have suffered a huge loss in this transaction.
"System, thank you." Yan Shu thanked her sincerely from the bottom of her heart.
"You're welcome, I'm you... your system manager! This is what I should do." Yan Qing almost said something, but luckily he changed his tune in time.
Afraid that Yan Shu would notice his momentary pause, Yan Qing changed the subject without leaving any trace: "It has been three years since you took the throne. Everyone in the court is urging you to get married and establish an imperial husband as soon as possible. Do you have a favorite candidate?"
Yan Shu got a headache when she mentioned this matter. It was because she was bothered by this matter that she hid outside the palace and paid a private visit incognito.
Everyone is paying attention to her marriage. The ministers are urging her to choose a husband. They even bring their good-looking young men to approach her from time to time. Even her sister-in-law Cui Shi has been frequently visiting the palace recently to care about her marriage. .
The eldest sister-in-law didn't propose any candidates, but she was like a mother and couldn't bear to see her alone so far, so she urged her to choose someone to accompany her as soon as possible.
"I don't know why those emperors are so keen on choosing concubines. It's obviously a headache."
"You can also try the talent show, and you will probably be able to understand it when there are fat and thin men of all kinds in front of you to choose from, and they will be jealous of you and dress up every day just to win your favor... to their happiness.”
Yan Qing persuaded his sister to "choose a concubine" with ulterior motives. He couldn't believe that all the handsome men in the Yan Dynasty were standing in front of her, and she could be abducted by that brat Lin Xinghan!
Yan Shu shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, I have experienced the life of a concubine in the palace, and I know how sad it is for so many people to compete for one person's heart. If I push myself against others, how can I make others jealous because of me? Besides, when it comes to relationships, you can only be single-minded and cannot tolerate a third person. If you don’t love, why bother with so many people?”
Yan Qing couldn't help but rub Yan Shu's head and sighed, "You..."
Why are you so determined to hang yourself on that crooked-necked tree
Such a doting and helpless tone made Yan Shu a little stunned. However, before she could think about it, she was made blushing by Yan Qing's next words.
"If that's the case, then why don't you choose the one you like? You two are happy with each other, and the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, so why are you dawdling?"
"Who, who?" Yan Shu blushed with embarrassment. After all, this was her daughter's house, and she couldn't remain calm after being exposed to the girl's concerns.
"Who else could be there besides Lin Xinghan? It's not like you don't know his feelings, and you also like him. Since we are in love, why not marry him as a matter of course?"
The blush on Yan Shu's face slowly faded, and there was hesitation in her eyes, "Although I like him, but he is a good man, has ambitions in all directions, and has a beautiful life. How can he be willing to enter the harem?"
The position of imperial husband is said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, but the concept of male superiority and inferiority to women is still difficult to change for a while. However, any man with a rift in his heart will not be willing to succumb to the harem.
Most of the ministers recommended were the second son and the youngest son. Who would be willing to send the eldest son and eldest grandson to the palace if they were raised seriously
Presumably the same is true for the Lin family. Otherwise, why didn't you submit a proposal for marriage
"What a coincidence, Lin Xinghan thinks so too. He has expressed his feelings to you a long time ago, but you have been reluctant to marry him. Therefore, he thinks that your position as imperial husband must be carefully considered, weighing the power of the court, and not wanting to embarrass you. I didn’t play again, and I secretly got drunk.”
Yan Shu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yan Qing couldn't help but reflect, how did he get to this point? From taking every precaution to prevent that brat from snatching away his sister, to now actually being an assist for him
Wouldn't it be better to just let them misunderstand each other
After all, I am getting older and my heart has softened, alas!
The emperor's wedding is naturally not an ordinary grand ceremony. Yan Shu had ordered everything to be simple and not to waste people or money, but the Ministry of Rites still held a grand ceremony.
Attending his sister's wedding again, Yan Qing's mentality this time turned out to be a bit strangely dull. After all, this time it was not his sister who was getting married, but the brat who was getting married back!
This is probably the difference between marrying a daughter and marrying a wife, right
In this life, Yan Qing has grown old with his sister, assisted her in creating a prosperous era of literature and art, and watched her be admired by all people and eventually become an emperor for the ages.
Before Yan Shu died, her husband Lin Xinghan stayed by her side.
After saying goodbye to Lin Xinghan, she looked in a certain direction in the air, and her old voice was inaudible, "System, are you still there?"
"Yes, I'm always here."
"That's good."
She smiled and closed her eyes calmly.
Lin Xinghan held her hand tremblingly, arranged her remains, then lay beside her, closed his eyes, and followed her away.
Yan Qing watched the two souls float out, and walked out confusedly holding hands.
Yan Qing noticed that Yan Shu's state of mind had reached perfection, so he took action to protect their souls and murmured in a low voice:
"Let's go, brother will take you home."
