Don’t underestimate Shuanghe Village because it is small. It is more than just a village. The emperor even allocated the entire back mountain and the mountainous area behind Shuanghe Village to Xiao Lingdang.
Calculated this way, the area is no smaller than the entire Huaxiang County.
This is also the reason why the debate in the court lasted for three days.
According to convention, only the daughter of a royal prince can be given the title of princess, and most of them are given the title for face when they get married, and they do not have any fiefdom.
As a result, Xiao Lingdang, a peasant girl, has now risen from the status of a princess, even more noble than the daughter of a prince. Naturally, everyone has opinions.
But the emperor naturally had his reasons for doing this.
He once secretly gave the potion to the imperial doctors for study, and they were able to identify most of the medicinal ingredients.
But there were a few herbs in it that they couldn't identify, and they tried to mix them several times but all ended in failure.
However, a conclusion was reached, that is, the required medicinal materials are indeed precious.
So the emperor gave the mountain to Xiao Lingling in the hope that there would be more medicinal herbs in the mountain so that she could make more potions.
The imperial edict was just issued three days ago and is on its way to Huaxiang County. It will probably take another three days to arrive.
Qin Yu's letter did not require any formalities and was sent much faster, so he took it and showed it to Xiao Lingling first so that she could be mentally prepared.
Xiao Lingling was stunned. She didn't expect that her action would have such a big impact. It was really beyond her expectations.
"Little brother, is this true?"
Qin Yu glanced at her with some annoyance. "Of course it's true. I heard that the Third Prince came in person to announce the decree this time. He's already set off. How could it be false?"
Little Bell sat down on the chair and said, "Why is there another prince coming?"
again?
Qin Yu subconsciously glanced at Xiao Lingling, and a hint of doubt flashed through his mind.
He had never told Xiao Lingdang about the fifth prince before, so where did this come from?
Could it be that Xiao Lingdang knows the fifth prince?
Although he was confused, he did not ask any more questions.
"They definitely won't come empty-handed this time. They'll most likely take all the new seeds and potions with them. I'm afraid you'll have to make more."
Xiao Lingling was not surprised by this. She had already made three new vats in the past few days, each weighing almost 100 kilograms.
Although she can still do it, she doesn't want it to become a means for businessmen to make money, so she can't just let it go and do it casually.
If I submit it this time, it will take at least a month before I can submit it next time.
These potions are enough for now.
Xiao Lingling was thinking about whether to tell her family the news when suddenly a dark shadow flashed outside the window and someone knocked on the window.
"Master, something strange has been discovered in the capital! Qin Zheng has made unusual moves, and it seems to be related to the border."
Qin Yu immediately straightened his back. "What's the point of telling me this? Go tell your general!"
When Xiao Lingling heard this, her heart jumped into her throat.
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over. Will the man in black outside expose my amnesia?
What should I do? If Qin Yu turned evil again at this time, she would gain merit, but she would have to overdraw her magic power.
I have to say that it feels really bad.
Just when Xiao Lingling was struggling, the man in black outside spoke.
"But my Lord, hasn't the General already..."
Seeing that her secret was about to be exposed, Xiao Lingling felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
The next moment, Qin Yu suddenly waved her hands in annoyance, "Forget it, forget it. Explain it to me later and I'll have someone investigate! Anyway, even if I tell her, she probably won't have the energy to care!"
"Xiao Lingling, I'm going to go out for a while. Just tell me the news! By the way, next time I can help you deliver this kind of news, you don't need to go to Wu Bokai and owe him a favor!"
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Lingdang to reply, he turned and walked out. Several footsteps were heard, and soon, it was quiet outside the window...
So, this crisis is over???
Little Lingling was so nervous that her mind was a little confused.
She was still a little uneasy, wondering if the man in black would notice something was wrong and say something, but she couldn't possibly get close to him now.
Forget it, let’s just wait and see.
I still have to tell my master about this matter, and then find a reason to cover up Qin Yu's amnesia.
Otherwise, there will be a thunderstorm sooner or later.
If she is not there at that time, it will be troublesome.
After this little incident, she no longer felt like telling her family.
Forget it, let’s not talk about it for now. The imperial edict will arrive sooner or later anyway, so we can give them a surprise then.

On the other side, on the official road from the capital to Huaxiang County, the third prince's team was not moving very fast.
After all, the weather is too hot, not to mention people, even horses can't stand it. They have to find a place to rest during the hottest time at noon.
Although there was an ice basin in the carriage, it was inconvenient to replenish ice cubes on the road, so the ice in the ice basin had melted long ago and only water was left.
The third prince's face turned red from the heat. He sat on the side of the road, and the guards beside him fanned him.
A young eunuch held out a tea bowl and handed it to him, "Your Highness, please drink some water first. It's too hot today. If you don't drink, you'll get a heat stroke."
Su Jingxian nodded and drank the herbal tea in the cup in one breath.
The young eunuch felt a little distressed when he saw his sunburned lips. "Your Highness, why did you have to come along when all was well? Since the Second Prince wants to go, just let him go!"
Su Jingxian chuckled, "Some things are beyond my control! Recently, the fifth brother has disappeared, the fourth brother has been confined to his house, and the second brother is in the limelight.
But he was too radical, which made the emperor have a problem with him. Even if I didn't stand up, the emperor wouldn't let my second brother come.
I'm tired of the fighting in the capital, so going out for a walk is good. It can actually relax my mind. I don't have to worry about people watching me, and I feel free and happy. "
Su Jingxian said it lightly, but the young eunuch Mingshan felt distressed.
Although our prince was born to a palace maid, he is of royal blood after all. However, he has been bullied by those concubines and princes for so many years.
Even the Emperor only pretended to care about his own prince, but in reality, he was just pushing him out to take the blame.
Poor His Highness, he is originally a quiet person, but now he is being bullied so much that he dares not even say a few words.
If Su Jingxian knew what he was thinking, he would probably laugh.
In fact, he didn't feel wronged at all, nor did he feel that he was being bullied.
He knew better than anyone that his background meant that he would never be able to ascend to the throne in his lifetime.
Since I can't do that, I might as well lie low and be an idle prince for the rest of my life.
So those seemingly bullying things were just him trying to be nice and show his attitude.
He is not competitive and does not want to make enemies with anyone. He just wants to live a good life and not let his mother's hard work in giving birth to him go in vain!
