Chapter 193 Good Year
Emperor Xuanhe was overjoyed by the birth of the Crown Prince's grandson in his harem, and because he himself finally had a child, he immediately announced it to the world.

After all, both he and the crown prince had no heirs, which was once considered a curse from heaven by the people and court officials.

This would also be detrimental to the development of Daqing and the consolidation of the throne.

Therefore, now that Emperor Xuanhe and the Crown Prince have an heir, it is natural to announce it to the world.

This proves that Emperor Daqing's rule was without fault, that Heaven had not cursed him, and that he had even blessed him with so many children.

Therefore, blessings were indeed bestowed, only they came several decades late.

As expected, after Emperor Xuanhe made the announcement to the world, the resentment of the people lessened somewhat.

At the same time, news came from the Imperial Stud that the pregnant Akhal-Teke horses had given birth one after another, and the foals were all healthy. Daqing finally had its own Akhal-Teke horses.

Once trained, Daqing's combat strength will be greatly enhanced with the Akhal-Teke horses.

Of course, this wasn't the only good news when the snow stopped.

From the Imperial Estate, Chen Hehua brought good news: the rice paddies that Princess Fuqing had touched and appointed her to take care of had now grown to maturity.

The rice ears have all been harvested, and the yield has doubled compared to before. This means that a high-yielding, superior variety has emerged!
When Emperor Xuanhe took a fine rice seed presented to him by his servants, its ears full of rice, his eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"That's great! With sweet potatoes and high-yield varieties, as long as they are widely promoted, no one in Daqing will ever go hungry again."

As an emperor, what he wants to see is that the people can eat and drink their fill and live in peace and happiness.

Emperor Xuanhe immediately took it and went to Yaoguang Palace to find his little princess.

"Little Princess, look! This high-yield, superior seed has appeared! All thanks to you!"

Emperor Xuanhe now understands just how miraculous the young princess's hands were that day.

Touching a concubine's belly will make her pregnant; touching the belly of a Ferghana horse will also make it pregnant; and touching a rice stalk will turn a sparse stalk into a full, high-yielding variety.

"This is all thanks to the little princess."

Emperor Xuanhe thanked Sui Sui.

Sitting in the chair, Sui Sui shook her head and swung her little legs. "I'm so happy to be able to help my nephew and the people of Daqing!"

Emperor Xuanhe still rose and bowed to Sui Sui.

Not only for himself, but also on behalf of the people of the Qing Dynasty, he wanted to thank the little princess.

After getting up, Emperor Xuanhe sighed, "The people of Daqing can finally have a good New Year this year."

Now that the snow has stopped, although it is still freezing cold, there are honeycomb briquettes and warm mines, and sweet potatoes for food. In the future, there will be high-yield improved varieties.

In terms of clothing, there were cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded jackets, as well as cotton quilts to cover oneself with.

The people of Daqing are much happier this year than in previous years.
-
Perhaps because we expect to have a good New Year this year, as the New Year approaches, every household begins to prepare for it.

Some people cut out red paper-cut window decorations and paste them up; others go to the market to buy chicken, duck, fish and meat to stock up for the New Year; still others go to the fabric shop to buy New Year clothes for the elderly and children in their families.

Because of the rise of textile factories this year, the price of fabrics is getting cheaper and cheaper.

Of course, I also bought a lot of salt and sugar. A while ago, fine salt and white sugar appeared, and now the prices of coarse salt and less refined sugar have also come down.

People will no longer have to worry about not having enough money to buy sugar and salt.

Some well-off families could even buy a few bars of soap.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone wears new clothes, takes a nice bath, eats and drinks their fill, and enjoys a good year.

Just as the people were preparing for the New Year, Li Tian'ao returned to his hometown, weary from his journey.

However, instead of returning to Li Family Village first, he planned to bring Tang Xiyue back to Li Family Village for the New Year, just like last time. Although he knew that his empress was Lin Qingru, and that Tang Xiyue married him not because she truly loved him, but because he could become the emperor in the future.

When Li Tian'ao first realized this, he felt deceived.

However, he has now let it go.

But he will not give the positions of Empress and Crown Prince to Tang Xiyue and the child in her womb.

But after all, Tang Xiyue is now carrying his bloodline, and is his first child.

Therefore, no matter how he treats Tang Xiyue, the child must stay!

"Husband, you're back?" Almost as soon as Li Tian'ao appeared, Tang Xiyue, heavily pregnant, rushed forward and hugged him.

"My husband, you're finally back. Do you know how much I've missed you? Our child misses you too." With that, Tang Xiyue took Li Tian'ao's hand and placed it on her belly.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, just as Li Tian'ao placed his hand on her, Tang Xiyue's stomach suddenly moved.

Li Tian'ao was stunned. "He... he moved?"

"Yes, he moved. He knows his father has returned!"

Li Tian'ao was gone for several months this time, and Tang Xiyue's belly, which was originally only slightly protruding, has now become very large.

This also allowed Li Tian'ao to feel the baby's movements.

To be honest, that feeling was magical.

After all, this was Li Tian'ao's first time being a father, and the first time he had felt closeness from his child.

"My child, I am your father..." Li Tian'ao gently stroked Tang Xiyue's belly, his eyes full of tenderness.

Tang Xiyue looked at Li Tian'ao with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

The next second, as if remembering something, she asked, "By the way, husband, did your trip go smoothly?"

Li Tian'ao's expression froze.

Thinking of the humiliation he suffered at the Su family's gate and the system that Princess Fuqing had taken away, Li Tian'ao's expression turned ugly.

"Yeah, it went well."

However, there's no need to tell Tang Xiyue any of this.

Tang Xiyue wanted to ask more, but Li Tian'ao clearly didn't want to say anything more.

Moreover, Tang Xiyue noticed that his expression was off.

Tang Xiyue's eyes darkened.

Li Tian'ao has indeed changed.

So, it was indeed influenced by Lin Qingru?

I wonder what Lin Qingru said to Li Tian'ao.
Has Li Tian'ao already wavered in his idea of ​​making her empress and her unborn child the crown prince?
If so...

Tang Xiyue wished she could kill Lin Qingru.

Initially, Tang Xiyue and her father were furious when they learned that Li Tian'ao was secretly dating Lin Qingru and even calling each other husband and wife.

Tang's father, in particular, felt that Li Tian'ao was truly ungrateful.

Li Tian'ao and his family are doing quite well now, all because he married Tang Xiyue. However, now that Tang Xiyue is pregnant at home, Li Tian'ao has turned around and is calling other women his wife!
