After the requirements of the imperial edict were written, half of the sweet potatoes, potatoes, rice and wheat seeds were given to Zhou Qingyun and let Long Yi take them away. When Long Yi left, he drove away overnight and ignored Yu Xiuming's attempts to keep him.
Originally, they did this for the sake of the people of this world. At this moment, it is impossible for them to ignore the lives of other people because of the things they had with Zhou Qingyun. In order to get these things, Zhou Qingyun paid more than just that. He even directly canonized Wang Shiyu as the princess of the current dynasty, and awarded her a fiefdom. As well as all the commercial permits available in the court, he gave all of them to Yu Xiuming, even the salt permits. It can be seen how much money Zhou Qingyun paid, and he didn't even get the sole agency rights.
How could Zhou Qingyun not know that the couple were deliberately making trouble for him, and this was just to appease them. Yu Xiuming was naturally happy that he could make so many concessions. He even agreed to Zhou Qingyun's request very happily and gave him seeds directly. He even promised to give Zhou Qingyun a quarter of the output of those that had not yet grown in the field.
As for Wang Shiyu, she gently stroked her belly which was almost five months old and watched Yu Xiuming telling her about the benefits Zhou Qingyun had given up, as well as the various titles, gold, silver and jewelry, and even that it was only exchanged for half of the seeds.
In fact, Wang Shiyu didn't care much about these things. After all, she had already decided to give these things to Zhou Qingyun for free. Besides, even if he gave her a fiefdom, what was the use? It could only collect taxes from a county, which was not much.
"Do you think Zhou Qingyun will go crazy? He could have gotten this thing for free, but now he has to pay such a huge price to take it away from us. He must be furious."
Our new emperor was raised by the Zhou family to have long hair and short vision. Otherwise, how could he have reached this point now?
Wang Shiyu didn't care about these things at all. After all, she had been hurt by Zhou Qingyun so much that she didn't want to say anything more, and she didn't even want to mention him. It was mainly because of the repeated exploitation and suspicion that made Wang Shiyu's kindness towards him shattered into pieces. She was in no mood to pity this bastard.
"Why do you always mention him? He is now the emperor, high and mighty. He has already ascended the throne and ruled the country. The entire Zhou Dynasty belongs to him. Why do you feel sorry for him?
Although this seed was originally intended for him, he was the emperor after all. If he could let the people live and work in peace and have enough food to eat, they would no longer suffer from the pain of war and displacement.
Then he was a very successful emperor. We don't need his money and status. We just hope that he will not appear in our lives again in the future.
Every time I hear news about him, it's always bad news. There's never any good news to make me feel at ease. From now on, it's better not to have any contact with him anymore."
Wang Shiyu has had a poor appetite since she became pregnant, and the weather has been very hot recently. As a result, although she is five months pregnant, Wang Shiyu's figure has become increasingly thin. She is extremely thin and has little energy.
It's even worse than when she was not pregnant, at least she still had some flesh on her body. Now Wang Shiyu's hands and feet feel so slender that they can be crushed with a light pinch. Even Yu Xiuming was afraid that she would suddenly fall every time he accompanied Wang Shiyu for a walk, so he protected her very well.
It’s not that Wang Shiyu doesn’t want to eat, but no matter what she eats, she will vomit it out as soon as she turns around, and her vomiting is very severe. It has reached the point where she will vomit even when drinking water. If Yu Xiuming had not had some rationality, he would have wanted to abort the child directly. After all, the only person he wanted was Wang Shiyu.
This child was originally the one that Wang Shiyu had forced herself to have, so the rejection reaction was so strong. In fact, Wang Shiyu probably knew it in her heart, but she just didn't tell Yu Xiuming because she was worried that Yu Xiuming would choose to forcibly abort it.
Wang Shiyu had no doubt that if Yu Xiuming had to choose between her and the child, he would definitely choose her. When he first started vomiting, his face was so dark that it was scary.
