After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 188: Her Request Was Too Ordinary

Under the emperor's control, the news of these heavenly-gifted corn seeds soon spread throughout the entire capital and to other places.

The emperor being the chosen one by heaven had destroyed those rumors.

If he wasn't the chosen one, why would the heaven gods give him those seeds.

The commoners couldn't help but get excited when they heard that the seeds could produce a thousand catties per mu.

Some even ran to their house door and knelt down to thank heaven and the emperor.

They only hoped that after the imperial court planted the corn next year, everyone could also plant it in their backyards.

The emperor did not deliberately let people cover up the existence of the old priest.

After all, there was nothing to be afraid of someone who wasn't human.

It could also deepen the credibility of these heavenly-gifted seeds.

Because of this, the news of an old immortal in Xiaxi village also spread within Daliang.

Gradually, many people came from other places to offer incense.

Four days later, a few carriages arrived at the capital.

Mo Qingling received the news and personally went to the capital gate to pick them up.

He looked at Xiao Hanzheng and smiled. "You're here."

He continued to welcome them. "I have a house in the capital. While you're here, stay at my place."

Xiao Hanzheng was about to speak when Mr Hou, who had gotten down from the carriage behind, spoke first. "I have a house in the capital too. They'll stay with me."

He was Xiao Hanzheng's teacher. Naturally, his students would live with him when they came to the capital.

He added, "I also want to introduce some old friends and his three seniors to Jinyu."

Upon hearing this, Mo Qingling knew that Mr Hou wanted to expand Xiao Hanzheng's network.

He smiled and said, "It is naturally best for him to go to your house."

Fei Congjun, who had wanted to invite Xiao Hanzheng and his wife to the Fei family, did not say anything after hearing this.

Mo Qingling thought for a moment and said, "Go to the Hou family and freshen up first. Then, follow me to the palace to pay your respects to the emperor."

Xiao Hanzheng cupped his hands to Mo Qingling and said, "Alright, sorry to trouble you, Brother Qing!"

Fei Congjun returned to the Fei family while Xiao Hanzheng and his wife went to Mr Hou's residence in the capital.

Mr Hou's wife had already passed away.

He had a son and two daughters.

His son was deployed elsewhere as a governor and had brought his family members over too.

Both of his daughters had married a long time ago.

Thus, only a few servants guarded his residence in the capital.

Mr Hou asked the housekeeper to arrange for Xiao Hanzheng and his wife to live in the guest courtyard next to the main courtyard, suggesting their importance in his eyes.

Xiao Hanzheng and his wife washed up before following Mo Qingling into the palace.

Because they had already been informed beforehand, they managed to meet the emperor with ease.
