Li Yao was taken in by the Empress and the Crown Prince in the palace. After getting to know them for a while, she also began to learn etiquette, literacy, and needlework.
The Emperor asked Li Yao about her name. After thinking for a while, Li Yao decided on the name "Li Yao," dropping the original character "Yu."
To compensate Li Yao, the Emperor bestowed upon her the title of "Princess Chang Le," along with a fiefdom, a fief of three thousand households, a group of guards, a princess's residence, three thousand taels of gold, and a quantity of jewelry.
After Li Yao received the imperial decree and expressed her gratitude, she became the most prestigious princess among all the princesses.
Over the next month, Li Yao successively learned court etiquette, the script of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Three Character Classic, the Thousand Character Classic, and basic needlework.
With her mental strength already at level 8, she learns things very quickly. She figured, since she was already here, and had access to such top-tier instructors, she might as well make the most of it.
Her learning speed surprised the Empress and the Emperor, and even the Crown Prince's tutor, the Grand Tutor, asked the Crown Prince about the authenticity of the news.
Li Yao has been eating and dressing well for the past month, and hasn't lifted a finger to do any housework, so she has become even more beautiful.
She was living a very comfortable life and was thinking about how to solidify her reputation as an auspicious person.
She asked the system, "System, does this dynasty have sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, and beets? Can I offer them to the emperor to plant? Will I get another warning?"
The system replied: "Host, these things exist in this dynasty, but they're still hidden away in remote corners, unnoticed and unappreciated. You can take them out without being warned. Strictly speaking, things from a prosperous world can be shared. The Rouran incident—you stifled their original development, disrupting the natural order. Of course, they weren't happy. But if you add to their success, they'll definitely be pleased."
Li Yao rolled her eyes, indicating that she understood.
In the afternoon, Li Yao spent half a day tinkering in her dormitory, taking out over a hundred pounds of various crops. She then returned to the [Spirit Spring Space] and had Da Zhuang print out ten copies of planting instructions, edible methods, and derivative product processing techniques using a computer printer, in traditional Chinese characters and with accompanying pictures. She then placed them all in her bedroom.
That evening, Li Yao dined with the Empress and the Crown Prince. She then sent someone to invite the Emperor, saying she had a gift for him.
When the emperor heard that his little princess was going to bring gifts, he came over eagerly.
Then Li Yao ignored the Emperor's bright eyes and waited until after dinner.
After the meal, Li Yao went to her room and had her maids and eunuchs bring out four burlap sacks and a wooden box, which she then presented to the Emperor with a smile.
Li Yao said, "My master said this is a gift for Father Emperor."
Upon hearing the word "master," the emperor quickly opened the sack and looked inside. He didn't recognize any of the items; they all seemed to be some kind of plant.
He then opened the wooden box and saw the booklet inside, made of thick, colorful paper with a high-quality feel and illustrations.
The Emperor himself reviewed it and, upon seeing the description of potatoes (2000-5000 jin per mu),...
Sweet potatoes, yield 2500-3500 jin per mu.
Corn, yield 600-1200 jin per mu.
Sugar beets yield 7,500 jin per mu, after which 1,600 jin of sugar is produced.
The Emperor laughed and said, "Good, good, hahaha, hahaha, I'll have no shortage of food now, hahaha, cough cough..."
The Empress saw that the Emperor was laughing so hard he almost choked, so she quickly helped him catch his breath.
The Emperor, having caught his breath, quickly picked up Li Yao and asked, "Yao Yao, is everything in this booklet true?"
Li Yao replied, "Yes, it's a question from Baidu, so it should be true."
The emperor didn't understand which deity Baidu was referring to, but he heard the key phrase, "it's true."
At this moment, the Emperor wished he could worship Li Yao and offer her three sticks of incense. He held Li Yao and went into a frenzy for a while.
After the Empress and the Crown Prince found out what had happened, they held Li Yao tightly, praising her and acting crazy.
Finally, the emperor remembered that he needed to arrange the planting, so he gave Li Yao a bunch of rewards, ran to the Hall of Diligent Governance, and took away all the crops and the wooden box.
The head steward, Eunuch Hai, carried the wooden box with extreme care, as if he were holding a bomb, which made Li Yao want to laugh.
