My Princess Holds Superpowers

"Alright, just state your demands directly, and even if there's no sweet potato, as long as I can fulfill your hopes, I definitely won't let you down," the King said, then added, "But if you're going to talk about staying here, then there's no need to mention it."

Sweet potatoes are very important, but not more important than his daughter.

Moreover, he had already shipped a batch earlier this year. Although it wasn't a large quantity, given the yield of this crop, it only meant delaying mass planting for a year—a delay he could afford.

Ye Jiu understood that trading sweet potatoes for the chance to stay would have been possible at the beginning, but now that the King already had the seeds, there was absolutely no room for negotiation.

Fortunately, she only wanted to delay for a while.

"Going to the capital is fine, but I don't want to go there confused and unaware. Even if I go, I want it to be justified," Ye Jiu said seriously to the King.

The King looked at Ye Jiu just as seriously, "You are inherently the legitimate and rightful heir of the Royal Residence. Being justified is inevitable. Once we are in the capital, I will personally request the Emperor to grant you the title of Commandery Princess of the Royal Residence."

"No, I want to receive the decree here," Ye Jiu insisted.

She still needed time because she wanted to persuade her parents to go to the capital with her.

"Jiujiu, be obedient, don't push your luck," the King said displeased.

This girl had too many tricks up her sleeve, and this time, there was finally a chance for her to go back. If they kept dragging this out, who knows what might happen next time.

Besides, since she is his real daughter, if Ye Jiu was determined and unwilling to go back even at the risk of her life, the King really couldn't bring himself to threaten her.

Because once some cracks appear, they become difficult to mend.

Just like the Princess Consort, even though she is regretful at the moment and even though she wants to make amends, in the future, she might never outweigh Mrs. He in this child's heart!

Seeing the King's grave expression, Ye Jiu, who did not come to argue with him, could only shamelessly act spoiled, "Don't forget, we know about my origin, but others may not. If I just go back so confusedly, others might even think I am an illegitimate child you had outside, which will only bring disdain upon me—I don't want that."

The Princess Consort was sent to the temple under the guise of praying for blessings, and even though Qin Zhou was disposed of, the pretext was the Princely Heir's stupidity and inability to take on the heavy responsibilities of the Royal Residence.

So, other than those who are in the know, outsiders are totally unaware of the child-swapping incident at the Royal Residence back then.

Looking at the earnest Ye Jiu, the King asked, "Then what do you want?"

The King had thought about it before but had consciously ignored it. Indeed, how to publicly disclose Ye Jiu's origin while keeping the Princess Consort safe posed a significant dilemma.

If the child-swapping were admitted, no one could save the Princess Consort's life.

Because the Imperial Family's dignity does not tolerate defiance, especially not an issue as grave as mixing bloodlines.

If such acts were not severely punished, wouldn't it mean that anyone could swap children in the future, and how could the Imperial bloodline be secured?

Regarding this, Ye Jiu had already prepared her argument, "Father can say that the Princess Consort actually had twins back then, but I was stolen away. Now, because I resemble father too much, it aroused your suspicion, and the investigation into the past incident revealed this matter."
