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

474 Also a jinx

After tasting the potato and experiencing the feeling of satiety, the ministers present were even more speechless.

After they finished eating, one of the officials related to Prince Jin couldn’t help but ask the emperor why Princess Zhen was demoted to an ordinary princess.

The emperor did not hide anything and recounted how Liang Mingmin had used her power to bully those in Northern City, and even went to Heyang County to kill Dumby and bully Shi Qingluo.

Who would dare to have any objections to that?

The ministers were even more shocked after hearing this.

It turned out that Princess Zhen was demoted because of Shi Qingluo’s complaint.

They were wondering why Princess Zhen was demoted when Shi Qingluo entered the palace.

Even if someone was bullying others in Northern City, that was under Prince Jin’s management.

The reason why the emperor demoted her was that he wanted to protect Shi Qingluo and the goose king.

They had once again underestimated the influence Shi Qingluo had on the emperor.

The more they thought about it, the more shocked they became.

From the third prince’s wife being demoted to a concubine, to Xiao Yuanshi being stripped of his official position in the capital and thrown to the northern border, to Princess Zhen being demoted to Ordinary County Princess, all of these were related to Shi Qingluo.

That’s right, there was also a third-rank official who had mocked Shi Qingluo in public and lost his position.

Hence, Shi Qingluo was not only a golden doll, but also a jinx.

In the future, if one could avoid provoking her, one would definitely not provoke her. Otherwise, if one could not deal with her, one would be in deep trouble.

Because of this, after returning home, a similar scene appeared among many families.

“When you see Shi Qingluo in the future, try to be on good terms with her. If you can’t, you’re not allowed to offend her.”

“Why would we offend Shi Qingluo for no reason?

“Shi Qingluo is just a village woman. Why must we befriend her and not offend her?”

“What do you know? She’s now Princess Fubao. Anyone who offends her will not have a good ending.

“Are you more powerful than the third prince’s wife or more powerful than Princess Zhen? Or are you more capable than a third-rank general?

“If you don’t, don’t doubt it. Just listen and do as you’re told.”

All the families were telling their younger generation, wives, and daughters about how powerful Shi Qingluo was.

In short, they should try to get along with her and not offend her.

As a result, Shi Qingluo became famous among the noble families in the capital.

She had also become the subject of envy among many women in the backyards.

Of course, it also attracted jealousy and hatred.

After the banquet, Shi Qingluo requested for a few hundred catties of potatoes from the emperor to be brought back for the people of Heyang County to plant them.

The reason why they had to transport the potatoes back and forth was that they had no choice.

This way, the emperor would feel that they respected him and not think that they were arrogant by not keeping him in loop before they saved some for themselves.

As expected, the emperor agreed without any hesitation.

After that, the agriculture minister dragged Shi Qingluo to the imperial manor to learn how to breed potatoes and other things.

Shi Qingluo did not hide anything and explained in detail how to grow potatoes.

Including what she didn’t manage to share in the village, she had told him everything.

For example, after cutting the sprouted potatoes, he had to make sure that there were two to three bud holes on each piece.

After cutting them, he had to apply some plant ash on the openings in time.

She also shared the spacing between adjacent potatoes, when to water and fertilize them, and so on.

These were the key points.

Otherwise, if the cut potatoes were thrown into the ground, not only would they not become potato seedlings, but they would also directly rot.

As a result, the group that had snatched the potatoes from the third prince’s escort team had their efforts in vain.

All of this was within Shi Qingluo’s expectations.

She stayed in the imperial manor for a few days and settled the matter with the agriculture minister before returning to the capital with Dumby.

The next day, the emperor had the head eunuch beside him deliver an exquisite gold medallion for the goose.

It was a thin and strong gold chain with a small gold plate with a goose head carved in the middle.

On the back of the small golden token, the words “death-exemption golden token” were engraved.

On the lower left corner, there was a miniature version of the emperor’s seal.

Most importantly, it wasn’t very heavy, and it didn’t press down on Dumby’s neck after it put it on.

It had to be said that the person who made this gold medal was very meticulous.

With the small golden token on its head, Dumby called out to the chief eunuch several times with a proud and happy face.

After returning to the palace, Shi Qingluo told the emperor that the goose king was very happy, which put the emperor in a good mood.

In the past few days, the emperor had deliberately let people spread the news that the goose king had found the potatoes, that the old immortal had appeared in Shi Qingluo’s dreams, and that they had escorted the potatoes to the capital city.

The rich people did not have such a deep understanding, but the poor people were extremely grateful to Shi Qingluo and the goose king.

They could only hope that corn and potatoes would become a common good soon, so that they could plant a crop every year.

One mu of potatoes could produce so many catties, and they would not be hungry anymore.

It was also because of this that everyone acknowledged the emperor’s bestowment.

Shi Qingluo was indeed Princess Fubao, and she was a blessed treasure.

There was also Dumby, the immortal pet sent by the old immortal to protect Daliang.

If it was not the king goose, who should be?

In particular, when they heard that Princess Zhen of Northern City, no, now Ordinary County Princess, wanted the king goose to be slaughtered and stewed, it attracted a lot of criticism from everyone.

Ordinary County Princess was really cruel and heartless.

She didn’t even spare the immortal goose king. This was her retribution.

Under the deliberate guidance of the emperor’s men, the commoners’ impression of Prince Jin from the northern border had also worsened.

They all felt that one who could raise such a daughter was probably not a good person.

This didn’t only happen in the capital, the news also spread to other places in Daliang.

One day, Shi Qingluo took Dumby out for a walk on the streets.

Dumby successfully became the most beautiful pet on the streets in the entire capital.

Its fur was black and shiny, and with a small gold medallion on its goose head, it was very eye-catching.

It was so dazzling that it blinded many people’s eyes.

However, no one dared to have any wicked ideas about this small gold medal, unless they wanted to die.

Everyone knew that this was a death-exemption medallion bestowed by the emperor.

“As expected of the goose king. Just from its posture and steps, I can tell that it’s not an ordinary goose.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen such an imposing goose. It really lives up to its reputation.”

“This little gold medal is hanging on the goose king’s neck. It’s a perfect match.”

“Look at how quick-witted those eyes are. I heard that it can understand anything. It’s so intelligent.”

As soon as these people finished speaking, Dumby raised its heads and puffed out its chests and called out a few times, as if saying “You’re right, you have good eyes.”

Everyone was amazed and praised the goose king for being able to understand human language.

At this moment, many of the onlookers had the same craving.

They really wanted to keep a big goose as a pet.

As a result, a similar scene occurred among many families in the capital.

“Mother, I want to raise a big goose as a pet.”

“How can a goose be a pet? Don’t think about it. Didn’t I just get you a dog?”

“How can a dog be better than a big goose? I heard that the goose is the best at looking after the house.

“I saw that the goose king was very impressive today, so I want to raise a goose.”

“That’s the goose king raised by Princess Fubao. Other geese aren’t comparable to that.”

“But I just want to raise a goose. Mother, please buy me one.”

“Father, I want a big goose that’s as cool as the goose king…”

He had no choice. Since his little troublemaker wanted it, he could only buy it.

Besides, not to mention children, even many adults were envious of Dumby’s majestic appearance and wanted to raise one.

As a result, all the geese in the capital were quickly snatched away.

Countless geese escaped the fate of being stewed in an iron pot.

They all had to thank the goose king.
