Chapter 1353: This Is the Foundation of Her Establishment
Editor: Henyee Translations
Precious herbs like ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, Chinese fleeceflower root, false starworts, precious orchids, peonies, plum blossoms, and valuable trees including rosewood, golden-threaded nanmu, and golden star rosewood thrived abundantly.
Other medicinal herbs, flowers, trees, and orchards flourished as well.
The branches bore numerous fruits, some of which Qiao Xuan had stored in the storage compartment, while others remained accessible for plucking and consumption.
The blossoms and fruits on the trees were a breathtaking sight.
The fertile land within the s.p.a.ce had expanded to approximately 1,700 mu. Unaffected by climate changes, it proved suitable for the growth of various plants year-round.
A wide variety of crops flourished consecutively—rice, wheat, corn, peanuts, potatoes, and soybeans were among them.
Qiao Xuan surmised that the fertile fields in her s.p.a.ce wouldn’t expand indefinitely, yet they continued to slowly grow. The exact limits remained uncertain.
Nonetheless, the more it expanded, the better.
This served as the bedrock of her foundation.
As long as her s.p.a.ce endured and her wood-type superpower remained intact, silver held little significance to her.
It was a privilege to a.s.sist her husband, support the Crown Prince, and savor the freedom of life, all while deterring anyone who might dare to provoke her easily.
Shao Yunduan found himself torn between laughter and exasperation at her words. He offered a reminder, “Keep the banknotes secure and don’t disclose this to anyone else. Finding a dependable partner isn’t as simple as it sounds. Brother Yuezheng and Young Master Zhao are truly exceptional!”
Qiao Xuan nodded with understanding. “Of course, I’m aware that finding the right partners depends on fate, and I’ll take my time in the search.”
Hearing her response, Shao Yunduan felt rea.s.sured.
By late November, the two of them had returned to the capital.
Indeed, the capital was on the brink of upheaval due to the potatoes.
The Crown Prince brimmed with excitement as he deliberated with his advisers and trusted aides throughout the night. The following day, he hurried into the palace with a basket of potatoes, seeking an audience with his father, the Emperor.
The Emperor’s schedule was consistently occupied, divided between creating elixirs and practicing Qi. Consequently, anyone seeking an audience with him had to wait until he became available.
This protocol applied not only to the Crown Prince but also to the Queen and his cherished Honored Princess Mei.
The pursuit of longevity was an endeavor that no one could obstruct.
Historically, when the Crown Prince requested an audience and found the Emperor unavailable, he would respectfully kowtow outside the palace and depart. Unless the matter at hand was exceedingly crucial, waiting was not typically practiced.
However, this time, the Crown Prince chose to wait.
Whenever the Crown Prince appeared in court, the Queen, Honored Princess Mei, and Princess Concubine Virtue would scrutinize him closely.
It was one thing if he simply knelt outside the palace without meeting the Emperor. However, by waiting to see the Emperor, the palace residents would keep a vigilant eye on him, eager to discern the nature of his discussion with the Emperor.
This was the consequence of the Crown Prince not having a biological mother. Without his mother’s support within the palace, his options were limited.
Without a maternal presence, which of the minor concubines in the harem would dare to risk the empress and n.o.ble consorts’ retribution by forming an alliance with him and becoming his confidant?
As the Crown Prince crouched outside the Qianqiu Palace, Empress Qi and the others grew increasingly puzzled. Had something significant occurred recently that they were unaware of? Why were they not informed?
If there was no pressing matter, why was the Crown Prince stationed here?
Empress Qi and her cohorts recognized the need to pay closer attention to this matter.
