Chapter 794: Chapter 679, Rising Fame_1

On the first day of April, during the morning court, the Emperor noticed that the officials were all whispering amongst themselves and couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the lively discussion about?"

Jiang, the Princely Heir, pondered for a moment before stepping forward to respond, "To report to Your Majesty, everyone is discussing Four Seasons Manor. Yesterday, at Tangyu Mountain, Old Prince Yong and Princess Huijia held a flower appreciation event and encountered Countess Shengping, who was visiting Beijing; they personally witnessed her staying at Four Seasons Manor."

The Emperor had already received secret reports about Gu Jian and Daohua arriving in Beijing, so he asked with a light smile, "What’s there to discuss about that?"

Thinking back to when his daughter was getting married and he had requested the Emperor to bestow the Four Seasons Manor, which had hot spring waterfalls, as a dowry, only to be flatly refused, Jiang, the Princely Heir, couldn’t hold back and inquired, "Your Majesty, when did you bestow Four Seasons Manor to Countess Shengping?"

Could his daughter truly be inferior to the Countess of Shengping, who came from humble beginnings?

The Emperor’s face chilled as he indifferently said, "Princely Heir Jiang, are you questioning me? If I wish to bestow a manor to someone, must I really inform you in advance?"

His words stung deeply. Jiang, the Princely Heir, was shaken to the core and quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty is discerning, your servant didn’t mean that. Four Seasons Manor’s reputation has soared over the past two years, its high-yield grains and fruits and vegetables are widely cherished by the populace; I had always thought that only Your Majesty could accomplish such a feat."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chenghua, Wu Jingyi, and others can’t help but glance at Jiang, the Princely Heir.

What a sly message...

The Emperor silently watched Jiang, the Princely Heir, for a while before speaking, "The Yan Family has made notable contributions to agriculture, which pleases me greatly. Since my ascension, I have encouraged everyone to focus on agricultural research, but alas, it has often been less than satisfactory."

"Agriculture is a matter of great importance to the livelihood of the people. If the Yan Family can help me and the people of Daxia in this regard, I naturally wish to reward them generously. The Yan Family has been able to sell high-yield seeds without increasing the price, which is a joy to me. If you all could be like the Yan Family, how can Daxia not prosper?"

After the Emperor’s remarks, the weight of the Yan Family in the hearts of the officials rose another notch.

Afterwards, the Emperor did not ask Jiang, the Princely Heir, to rise, letting him kneel throughout the duration of the morning court.

The Jinling Guard was well informed; Xiao Yeyang had just returned to the city from Four Seasons Manor when someone told him about what happened at the morning court.

After getting to know this, Xiao Yeyang fell silent for a while, then summoned his capable subordinates and had them secretly spread the word that the Yan Family was the owner of Four Seasons Seed Store.

Such an opportunity to enhance reputation must be fully utilized.

The Yan Family’s foundation may be weak, which is a significant flaw; their heritage needs to be accumulated bit by bit, but reputation can quickly be gained if managed properly.

Although he and Daohua had gone through the wedding ceremony in the presence of their grandmother, he was well aware that there could be hiccups in formally solidifying their status in the eyes of the public.

The easiest point of critique would be the Yan Family’s background.

Fortunately, his Yiyi was intelligent and capable; while he was still battling at the Northern Frontier, she had already earned a good reputation for the Yan Family by donating medicine and grain.

Previously, when Daohua wanted to open the shop in Beijing, he hadn’t realized that two small shops could play such a significant role.

This was primarily because Xiao Yeyang had some understanding gaps regarding agriculture; he didn’t comprehend the significance of high-yield seeds to the common people.

The matters of the Four Seasons Manor were initially only circulating among the nobility and officials, but with Xiao Yeyang’s intervention, it quickly became known to the common folk as well.

High-yield seeds increased the harvest for the common people, and knowing that the Yan Family provided them, the prestige of the Yan Family rose once again.

If previously, the Yan Family arriving in Beijing went unnoticed, now when people in Beijing mentioned the Yan Family, they could say a few words, mostly positive.

...

Xiao Yeyang didn’t immediately enter the palace but first returned to the Jinling Guard. As soon as he arrived, the men of the Jinling Guard could feel his good mood.

No helping it, Xiao Yeyang was always very serious when on duty; days like today, with a smile on his face, were genuinely rare.

Everyone curiously watched, and after a while, Yan Wenkai and Wentao came over to see what the fuss was about.

With sharp eyesight, Yan Wenkai instantly noticed the bite mark on Xiao Yeyang’s neck and widened his eyes, grabbing Xiao Yeyang, "Who gave you that bite mark on your neck, did you meet with a beauty last night?"

Before Xiao Yeyang could say anything, Wentao slapped Yan Wenkai on the forehead, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Yan Wenkai quickly pointed to Xiao Yeyang’s neck, "Who’s spouting nonsense? Look for yourself, third brother!"
