After discussing it with his court officials, the emperor decided to first try planting the seeds on the imperial estates near Luoyang. Once the harvest was complete and enough seeds had been collected, the planting would be promoted more widely.

The ministers who participated in the trial planting were all incredibly excited. When they learned that it was sent by Princess Chang Le's teacher, they kept praising the princess as a lucky star.

The Emperor remembered Master Li Yao's words, which told the princess to be a happy and carefree princess. So the next day, the Emperor issued an edict to announce to the world the princess's contribution in finding a superior seed. Now, the people all praised the princess as a great blessing.

Afterwards, Li Yao lived a more and more comfortable life in the palace, while the Zhao family experienced the ultimate hellish torture package in prison: iron combs, facial piercings, needle pricks, barbed whips with concentrated salt water, and finally, they were sentenced to slow slicing. The execution was carried out a month after Li Yao was conferred the title.

After Li Yao learned to read, the Emperor arranged for her to go to the Imperial Study to study with the other princes and princesses.

Among all her siblings, Li Yao was the youngest and a princess. Since there were no princes to make things difficult for her, they maintained a peaceful facade.

Her three elder sisters were jealous of her title and tried to play a trick on her, but Li Yao saw through their scheme and tricked them back, thus establishing her authority in front of everyone.

Everyone knows she's not someone to mess with, so they don't usually provoke her.

Li Yao's days in the Imperial Study were not too difficult. She had a good memory and could memorize what the teacher said after hearing it only once. Therefore, she was allowed to daydream in class or read other books. Sometimes when she dozed off, the teacher would even hand her a pillow.

This only fueled everyone's envy, jealousy, and hatred towards her.

But Li Yao enjoyed all the little squabbles and responded actively. For example, if someone tripped her, she would step on their foot; if someone tore up her books, she would tear up their homework. She always tried to have a give-and-take.

Li Yao felt that she had almost developed feelings for these brothers and sisters, but they thought that Princess Chang Le was a tough nut to crack, impervious to reason and fire. Every time they teased her, they would lose 1000 points of their own strength and only 0.01 points of the enemy's strength, which was a complete loss for them.

Li Yao gradually became the "other people's child," the little tyrant in the Imperial Study.

Because Li Yao is just as skilled in martial arts.

After Master Wu started teaching, ever since Li Yao learned to shoot arrows with perfect accuracy, and could also box and kick someone away with one kick, none of her brothers and sisters dared to mess with her, because they couldn't afford to hurt her or beat her.

However, Li Yao wouldn't bully them for no reason.

As a top student, Li Yao had a very happy life before the age of 12.

She learned music, chess, calligraphy, painting, horseback riding, archery, swords, spears, and axes, all of which she excelled at. She considered herself a qualified princess and began to bully the palace guards. Every few days, she would climb over the palace walls or onto the rooftops. The emperor didn't care, as long as no one was hurt.

Li Yao also tried to ambush the emperor's secret guards several times, but was always kicked out. Each time, she would go up to "learn from them," while the emperor watched with great interest, munching on melon seeds.

The princess has grown up, and her brothers and sisters are gradually getting engaged. The empress is getting a little anxious, but Li Yao is not in a hurry at all.

She was only 12 years old, which in modern times would be just graduating from elementary school. Her marriage partner would definitely not be too much older than her. Just thinking about a junior high school student constantly calling her "wife, wife" made her feel cold in her uterus.

Therefore, Li Yao refused the Empress's matchmaking, saying that she would not consider marriage before she turned 18, and if she did not find a suitable match in the future, she would not get married. She really did not want to have children, as it was too painful.

The Empress remembered what Li Yao's master had said, telling her to be a free-spirited princess, so she didn't force her and let her do as she pleased.
