Chapter 1509: Her Highness the Princess (59)

With her son as the Crown Prince and her daughter respected by all under heaven, the Empress felt that this life had been worth it.

When she heard that the Emperor intended to bestow a plaque upon Lü Yuzhi, she readily agreed. “Then I can't very well do nothing. I only hope that all the women under heaven can learn a little from my Guo'er.”

Truth be told, the Empress was rather envious of Tang Guo. She had lived the life many women only dreamed of.

When Lü Yuzhi received the plaque bestowed by the Emperor and the palace token granted by the Empress, she was completely stunned.

“Your Highness, isn't this happening a bit too quickly?”

Although she knew she was talented and believed she would eventually attract the attention of those two, she had never expected it to happen so soon. Recovering from her shock, she hurriedly expressed her gratitude. “Thank you, Your Highness.”

Surely it was because Her Highness had spoken well of her that the Emperor and Empress had shown her such favor.

She understood Tang Guo's intentions—to place their family of three on the highest peak, allowing Lü Qing to look up at them with regret and despair before finally destroying him.

Her mother often said she could never understand Her Highness's thoughts. Why go through so much trouble to torment Lü Qing? Well, it was simply his bad luck. Who told him to provoke a grudge-holding princess?

“When you're free, visit my mother in the palace. She especially likes young girls. She was very fond of the flower tea you made last time.”

“Yes, Yuzhi will certainly go and thank His Majesty and Her Majesty.”

Lü Yuzhi knew that she had risen to the heavens in a single step, all before reaching sixteen years of age.

She wondered what expression Lü Qing would wear when he learned that he had such a daughter.

At this moment, she felt that Her Highness's method of revenge was truly ingenious.

Afterward, Tang Guo wandered over to the agricultural fields. Watching Lin Yuexiang, wearing a straw hat, directing the old farmers among the fields, she sat leisurely to one side, sipping tea with a smile.

System: Of course you're comfortable. All the cattle you've raised have grown strong enough to plow the fields.

At some point, the host had become obsessed with raising cattle—herds and herds of them. Every single one was sturdy and powerful, perfect beasts for farm work.

“Your Highness, I have a feeling you're doing something great.”

Tang Guo glanced at Yun Buxiu. “Then you've guessed wrong. What I'm doing isn't anything particularly great.”

“But Your Highness has nurtured three remarkable talents for Beixia. One is the Little Divine Doctor with miraculous healing skills. Another is likely to become the next top scholar, versed in literature and worldly matters, a blessing to the nation. And the third is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and martial arts, but most gifted in the cultivation of crops. That is an even greater blessing for Beixia.”

“Your Highness, if this isn't something great, then what is?” Yun Buxiu was utterly captivated. This was the woman he loved. How could she possibly be so outstanding?

Tang Guo chuckled softly. “National Teacher, have you not also played a part in these three talents? Lü Yufan's scholarship and chess skills were taught by you. Lü Yuzhi's medical knowledge was likewise passed down by you. You have contributed greatly as well. If this truly counts as a great undertaking, then it is you who have accomplished something great.”

“As for me…” Tang Guo sighed helplessly. “I merely wanted to settle a personal grudge. I just accidentally made it too big. I never expected things to turn out this way. Perhaps it was simply fate.”

Yun Buxiu: “…”

He simply couldn't believe her. Fate? Could fate remain unchanged in her hands? She could even defy heaven and alter destiny itself.

System: Pfft—Host is really good at showing off. Though perhaps when she said that, she wasn't actually trying to.
