Chapter 161 Concubine Fang is so nervous

"Since it's not you, then it must be a misunderstanding."

Chu Cong reached out and pinched her face and said, "The seeds have been planted. Both the Royal Farm and South City are planting according to the method in your booklet. In a few days, we will definitely be able to harvest."

"Also, there's news about the early rice in South City. The seedlings are growing well and strong. I don't know how much we'll harvest, but it's definitely going to be a success!"

Chu Cong changed the subject and mentioned the news he received this morning. He was in a particularly good mood. As long as the early rice survived, it would prove that early rice could really be grown.

Not to mention how much the harvest is, as long as one mu of land yields 100 kilograms, it means that one mu of land can yield an extra 100 kilograms a year!

If this were three seasons...

By then, he dared to say that the people of Mu Ning Kingdom would never go hungry again!

"Lingshu, don't worry. When the crops are ripe, all the credit will be yours. No one can take it away from you."

Chu Cong raised his hand to comfort her, his eyes seemed to soothe her.

"Well, I believe in you, Your Majesty."

Shen Lingshu raised her eyes, with wholehearted trust in them, which made Chu Cong feel heavy in his heart. He was even more determined that no one would take away this credit!

night.

Concubine Fang returned to Prince Lin's mansion and suppressed her desire to ask the prince for help. She said, "Madam Gui, please don't light any incense in the room. And have someone check the room to see if there is anything unclean in it."

“The kitchenette is even more important.”

"And all the flowers and plants in the yard were dug up and replanted."

"The vases, flower pots, and ornaments in the house also need to be replaced."

“…”

Concubine Fang protected her belly carefully. If there was no suitable yard, she would even want to change the yard!

She was afraid that someone would take advantage of her pregnancy and harm her!

Even if she couldn't change it, Concubine Fang wanted to change the yard inside and out, even turning over the mud for planting flowers, to feel at ease.

There was quite a commotion in Qiutang Courtyard, and it was so grand and ostentatious that the concubines in the backyard were all terrified. Could something have happened?

Li Susu, who gave birth to a daughter, has now accepted the fact that she has given birth to a daughter. Although she is disgusted, she has been trying hard to take care of her body during the confinement period in order to get pregnant again.

Try to give birth to another son for the prince as soon as possible!

After hearing the news, Qi Qing thought about all the work she had done in recent days and was worried that she had accidentally done something wrong and offended the concubine.

Cheng Lanshu didn't have any ideas. Her main task was to serve the prince well.

Aunt Lin, who was still recuperating, decided to continue pretending to be sick and not go out.

As for Shen Lingshu, it was already the next morning when she heard the news.

"No need to greet?"

Shen Lingshu worked hard for most of the night before, and when she learned that she didn't need to greet him, she immediately fell back to sleep.

Although the prince told her that she didn't have to pay her respects.

But, who is Shen Lingshu?

She would never give anyone the handle lightly. If anyone wants to use it to challenge her rules, that is absolutely not allowed!

After dozing for a while, Shen Lingshu felt something was wrong. Concubine Fang had no children, and paying respects was a way for her to show her noble status. Unless she was too sick to get out of bed, Concubine Fang would definitely not waive the respect.

"No, the concubine is sick? Seriously?"

Shen Lingshu's eyes gradually became clear, and she looked at Zhu Xin and asked, "Quick, go check what's going on."

Zhu Xin immediately told what happened in Qiutang Courtyard last night.

Zhu Xin speculated: "Master, could it be that the concubine is ill? Or, poisoned?"

Otherwise, why would you go to such great lengths to turn everything in the house over?

Even if Concubine Fang was avoiding people, with such a big commotion, everyone could vaguely sense the difference, not to mention Shen Lingshu, who used to be the housekeeper.

During the days when she was the housekeeper, Shen Lingshu was naturally not just a housekeeper. Now, she can also know about the slightest movement in the mansion.

"Master, I'll go ask again."

Zhu Xin said this and immediately ran out in a hurry. Soon, he ran back in a hurry and said, "Master..."

Zhu Xin swallowed his words halfway through and looked at the sleeping Shen Lingshu with his eyes widened. Didn’t the master just wake up?

"Shh, the master must have been tired yesterday. He ate something and then went to sleep."

Willow pulled Zhu out and spoke in a low voice.

"Your Majesty is too unsympathetic."

Zhuxin muttered softly. Every time she saw the mark on her master's body, she felt sorry for her master. After she finished speaking, Zhuxin covered her mouth and looked around cautiously.

…

Kyoto, Zuixianlou.

"Second brother, why are you here alone?"

The prince saw Chu Cong coming alone, and there was no sign of Shen Lingshu. He couldn't help but say, "I came here specifically to thank Shen Lingshu for saving my life."

"I'm afraid you misunderstood, brother."

Chu Cong said: "I went back and asked Ling Shu, and she said she never saved Big Brother."

"I guess there must be someone else who truly saved Big Brother's life."

Chu Cong said seriously: "Brother, I wonder if the benefactor who saved you has any other characteristics? Big brother, please tell me, I may be able to say something to help you!"

"Second brother, do you think that I can't even recognize my savior?" The prince said with a gloomy face.

Chu Cong: "Brother fell into the water at that time, and the person who saved his life did not ask for anything in return, so it is understandable that brother did not recognize him." Didn't he recognize a fake one before?

Chu Cong glanced at Shen Lingyi!

She looked like she had no bones, and her eyes were charming. How could she compare to Ling Shu?

At this moment, Chu Cong felt somewhat fortunate that his elder brother had admitted his mistake, otherwise, would Ling Shu no longer be hers?

"Chu Cong!"

The prince saw the look he gave Shen Lingyi, as if reminding him of his mistake: “Get out.”

The prince glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and Shen Lingyi immediately went out, fearing that if she walked too slowly, the prince would get angry again.

Soon, only the two brothers were left in the room.

"I said I won't admit my mistake this time." The prince said to Chu Cong with a gloomy face, "I just want to see my savior. Second brother, do you disagree with such a small matter?"

"Brother, if Lingshu is truly your savior, there is no reason not to acknowledge her."

Chu Cong spoke in a deep voice, sensing the displeasure in the Crown Prince's words. He said, "Growing crops is just about making sure the people have enough to eat..."

"Oh."

The prince chuckled. He raised his eyes, looked at Chu Cong and said, "It seems that my second brother is confident enough about this food."

“…”

Chu Cong was silent for a while before he said, "If it really can save the people from starvation, even if it's just a pipe dream, we have to give it a try."

'Snap' 'Snap' 'Snap'

The prince raised his hands and clapped them, saying, "Second brother, you are so concerned about the people. You deserve the word 'virtuous'."

"The burden of being a virtuous king is too heavy. I'm afraid I can't bear it. From now on, I just want to be a prince peacefully. The manor in South City is a good choice."

Chu Cong made his attitude clear, he had no intention of competing for the throne.
