Wang Xingjian grew up with landlord Wang since childhood, and was very proper and methodical, like a smaller version of Wang Can.

"My mother asked the princess in the palace to divine her son's future and also wanted the princess to calculate the luck of her unborn siblings."

My mother said that back then, His Majesty and the princess were bullied and destitute in Longmen Town. To change my father's fate, my grandfather gave the princess 30,000 taels of silver for divination.

In addition, the princess wanted to ask Madam Gu to run the "Da Qi Daily" with her, and her mother also wanted to participate; she wanted to be the director...

Landlord Wang beat his chest and stamped his feet, pointing at Madam Hu and saying, "Do you know why Xingjian wasn't entrusted to you for support? Because you're short-sighted and lack tact. Do you know that every single thing Xingjian said is a crime punishable by death?"

Your Majesty and the Princess were the founding emperors of the Qi Kingdom, and could be considered the greatest emperors of Western Xia/Qi Kingdom. How could you be so brainless as to bring up their past hardships?

Princess Jiutian is of unparalleled nobility. What great merit have you accumulated to warrant having a princess of a nation tell your fortune? And for 30,000 taels of silver per divination? Isn't this openly tarnishing the princess's reputation?

Back then, the landlord Wang insisted on giving her 30,000 taels of silver, but the princess didn't take a single coin and donated it all to the poor!

The Great Qi Daily reports: These are His Majesty's eyes and mouth. What face do you have to ask to participate just by opening your mouth? You even want to be the curator? Why don't you just fly to the heavens?

Only then did Madam Hu become frightened, and she said defiantly, "But the princess didn't say anything..."

"If she didn't care, she wouldn't have come all the way to my home to express her gratitude for taking me in back then! Does a subject need his sovereign to come and thank him?"

"You're so stupid you don't even realize it, and you still think it's your duty to be visited? Are you even thinking that when she comes to your mansion, you'll catch her and have your fortune told?"

Landlord Wang was so angry he almost fainted. He ordered Hu to return to the old house in Longmen Town after giving birth and forbade her to return to the capital.

After staying at the mansion for a short while, Wang Can and Landlord Wang, along with Wang Xingjian, hurriedly entered the palace.

Landlord Wang is now seventy years old, but because he works hard all day, he is still in good health.

His eyesight wasn't very good, and he also knew the rules so he didn't dare to look up at the heavens, so he had no idea what the heavens looked like.

Jiutian had someone serve him good tea, and they chatted for a long time about everyday things.

Landlord Wang was convinced and full of respect, so he said sincerely, "Your Highness is the lucky star of the Great Qi. My family has received the grace of His Majesty and Your Highness, and our lives are getting better and better. In recent years, the weather has been favorable and the harvest has been very good. I am offering 500,000 shi of grain to celebrate Your Highness's return. Please accept it with a smile."

Five hundred thousand shi of grain is nothing to a country, but for a large landowner, it is almost all of his grain reserves.

Jiutian asked, "Will it affect your family's income and expenditure?"

Landlord Wang said magnanimously, "I am just a peasant, and I am already very content to have a pancake for a meal. There are only so many people in the manor, how much grain can they eat? Don't worry, all this grain will be offered to His Highness, and the manor will not go hungry for three to five years."

Jiutian said with a smile, "Then I will accept it and thank Minister Wang for his generosity on behalf of the people."

Upon returning to his residence from the palace, Wang, the landlord, immediately ordered his men from his hometown to send 500,000 shi of grain to the local treasury at top speed.

Not long after, Jiutian received an official document from Ganzhou, where Longmen Town is located: the national treasury has received 500,000 shi of grain donated by Landlord Wang.

Jiutian didn't hesitate either. After discussing with Yin Jin'an, he summoned Wang Can and Wang Dizhu to the palace and conferred upon Wang Dizhu the title of Fifth-Rank Fengzhi Dafu (a nominal official title, similar to the honorary title of Lady of Imperial Decree).

Wang Can and Landlord Wang received the imperial decree and expressed their gratitude.

Wang Can then said, "Your Majesty, I beg for your grace. I wish to marry the eldest daughter of the Su family of Suzhou as my secondary wife. I humbly request Your Majesty's permission."

The eldest daughter of the Su family in Suzhou, a lady of high birth, said to be extremely well-mannered.

The Wang family is determined to keep the Hu family permanently confined to their old house in Longmen Town.

"allow!"

Wang Can and Landlord Wang expressed their gratitude once again.

With the imperial decree issued, Jiutian smiled and handed a jade pendant to Wang Dizhu: "This is a jade pendant of mine. Wang Fengzhi may go to Yulong Kingdom to do business and make connections."

Landlord Wang asked, puzzled, "Your subject, may I go to Yulong?"

“Yes.” Jiutian smiled and said to the Wang family father and son, “Because I have another identity—the Nine Heavens Priest of the Jade Dragon Kingdom.”
