Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

He looked at Jiang Xue deeply, then turned to Murong Rong and asked, "Oh! What's the matter, uncle?"

Upon seeing this, Murong Rong immediately stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, this girl is a rare person. She is not only outstanding in appearance, but also talented and of noble character. I think she is completely worthy of the prince." His tone was full of affirmation and praise, and it was obvious that he had a very high opinion of Jiang Xue.

Xuan Zhentian was silent for a moment after hearing this. His eyes were deep, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. Then, he looked at Jiang Xue deeply, with both scrutiny and helplessness in his eyes.

"Chen'er is the crown prince, and she has a long way to go in the future. If she doesn't have a stable family to back her up, even if she becomes the crown princess, she may not have a good result in the future struggles in the harem." Xuan Zhentian's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be knocking on Xuan Yuchen's heart.

Xuan Yuchen's heart tightened when he heard this. He couldn't help but ask, "But didn't the Queen Mother have a prominent family background?"

Xuan Zhentian shook his head and sighed, "Chen'er, although your mother's family is not as good as the four major families, it is also a martial arts family with strength that cannot be underestimated. This is why your grandfather did not object at the beginning. Miss Jiang Xue, she does not have such a power behind her."

Xuan Yuchen wanted to argue, but Xuan Zhentian interrupted him: "Chen'er, don't you understand? The struggle in the harem has always been so cruel. I won't live much longer. Now relying on the life-extending pills of Doctor Bai, I can only hold on for three days at most."

At this point, Xuan Zhentian's tone revealed a hint of sadness. He waved his hand, signaling Xuan Yuchen and Murong Rong to stop arguing.

"I am not afraid of death. I have experienced the pain of being loved but not getting it. But you have to know that Chen'er will have countless concubines in the future. He needs to stabilize the government and needs the support of a strong family. This is for his own good and for Miss Jiang Xue's good." Xuan Zhentian closed his eyes and a tear slipped down. Although his voice was calm, the helplessness and pain in it made people feel the same.

"Then what kind of family background is needed to be worthy of him?" Jiang Xue looked at the emperor on the dragon throne neither humbly nor arrogantly. Her eyes revealed a kind of firmness and confidence, as if she did not think that family background was the only criterion for measuring a person's value.

Jiang Xue's words echoed in the empty hall. She looked directly at Xuan Zhentian without any fear or retreat. Although her voice was soft, it carried a power that could not be ignored.

"Your Majesty, I know very well that the struggles in the harem are cruel. I also know that the prince needs not only someone who loves him, but also someone who can help him stabilize the government. However, family background is not the only measure of a person's value. I also have the ability, wisdom, and determination to help the prince face the challenges of the future."

Jiang Xue's words were full of confidence and determination. She did not think that her background was an obstacle to her becoming the Crown Princess. She believed that as long as she had enough ability and wisdom, she would be able to provide strong support to the Crown Prince, help him stabilize the government, and deal with the struggles in the harem.

Xuan Zhentian listened to Jiang Xue's words, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman had such firm belief and determination.

Xuan Zhentian was silent for a moment, his eyes stayed on Jiang Xue for a long time, as if he was measuring the truth and determination in her words. The atmosphere in the hall was solemn and tense, and every breath seemed to affect people's hearts.

"Miss Jiang Xue, you are right. Family background is not the only measure of a person's value. I also understand that truly capable people, regardless of their background, can bring help to the court and the prince." Xuan Zhentian's voice sounded slowly, with a barely perceptible softness.

He paused and continued, "However, the struggle in the harem is indeed cruel. Without a strong family as a backing, it is difficult to gain a foothold in it. However, I have also seen your determination and wisdom, which makes me a little shaken."

At this point, Xuan Zhentian looked at Xuan Yuchen, with a complex emotion in his eyes. "Chen'er, you like Miss Jiang Xue, this is your choice. However, you must also understand that choosing her means you have to bear more responsibilities and risks. Are you willing?"

Hearing this, Xuan Yuchen knelt on the ground without hesitation, his eyes firm and determined. "Father, I am willing. I know that choosing Xue'er means taking on more responsibilities and risks, but I believe that she has the ability to help me, and I am willing to do everything to protect her."

Xuan Zhentian listened to Xuan Yuchen's words, and a wave of emotion surged in his heart. He saw the determination and persistence in Xuan Yuchen's eyes, and understood his choice. He looked at Jiang Xue deeply, and then nodded slowly.

"Okay, since this is your choice, I will grant your wish. But Miss Jiang Xue, you must remember what you said today. You must use your ability and wisdom to prove your worth and help the prince stabilize the government." There was a hint of majesty and expectation in Xuan Zhentian's voice.

Jiang Xue was filled with excitement and gratitude when she heard this. She knelt deeply on the ground and kowtowed to Xuan Zhentian. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help. Jiang Xue will definitely use her ability and wisdom to prove her worth and help the Crown Prince stabilize the government." There was a hint of firmness and confidence in her voice.

"For the rest of my life!" Xuan Zhentian waved his hand gently, signaling Jiang Xue and Xuan Yuchen to stand up.

"Your Majesty, congratulations!" Murong Rong said with a happy face.

"What are you so happy about? Uncle, don't keep us in suspense, just say it directly." Although Xuan Zhentian said this, there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, do you know who this Jiang Xue is?" Murong Rong deliberately paused, as if waiting for Xuan Zhentian's reaction.

Xuan Zhentian was stunned, then shook his head, "Who?" There was a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Your Majesty, have you heard of three-season rice? This is made by her," Murong Rong said slowly, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

When they heard that it was about grain, all the civil and military officials were shocked. In this era, grain is the lifeblood of the country, and any news about increasing grain production will attract great attention.

Xuan Zhentian looked at Jiang Xue, with a hint of eagerness in his eyes: "Miss Jiang Xue, please tell me."

Jiang Xue smiled slightly, but did not speak immediately: "Your Majesty, please treat your illness first. When you are well, I will tell you, okay?"

Xuan Zhentian knew that he was beyond help, but he still insisted: "I want to know."

Seeing this, Jiang Xue no longer refused: "Three-season rice means rice planted three times a year."
