Chapter 271 The Male Peacock Spreading Its Tail Feathers

...

...

"Madam Ye, these are things sent from the palace."

Ye Wan had gotten used to it; every few days, the palace would send things over, and she would return the favor.

However, this time the person in charge was different, and some of them looked unfamiliar.

"How is Madam now?" Ye Wan looked at the man; just by looking at his face, she couldn't tell that he was a eunuch.

"This is for the lady."

The man took the box from Huigu's hand, his gaze becoming more eager.

Ye Wan smiled slightly, "I hope the people who deliver this will not open it halfway. I have put a seal on it, and once it is opened, it cannot be restored to its original state."

The man paused for a moment, then immediately put on a smiling face.

"Yes, Madam Ye, rest assured, my men won't do that. If anyone dares to, I'll skin them alive."

The eunuch left with a forced smile.

Aunt Cai came out, frowning as she couldn't help but ask, "Do these people dare to touch the things you took out?"

"This person is probably connected to the harem, but I don't know exactly whose people they are. I've already warned them, and they don't have the guts to make a move."

It's likely that because Madam Lin has been interacting with her so frequently, someone else is trying to salvage the situation.

King Jing is not a good-tempered man. Anyone who dares to play tricks under his nose should go and explain to the King of Hell.

"This is because we lack a strong foundation. These lackeys of powerful families are masters at judging people based on their status."

Just as Aunt Cai finished speaking, she saw Fang Daru walking out.

"Old man, where are you going?"

"King Jing summoned me, and I went to the palace."

"When did this happen?" Ye Wan asked in surprise.

She's been busy lately and doesn't know yet.

"The carriage is already waiting at the door. Let's talk when I get back."

Fang Daru smiled elegantly, glanced at his wife and Ye Wan, then turned and walked out the door.

...

...

"It's been many years, but the teacher's charm remains unchanged!"

The Hall of Diligent Governance.

King Jing stepped down from his chair and personally helped the Confucian scholar Fang, who was bowing.

This great scholar, whose father the emperor had been alive, had been asked to guide his writings.

He and his elder brother were both taught by the great scholar Fang when they were young.

"The same goes for Your Highness." Fang Daru looked at the handsome Prince Jing and was filled with emotion.

The Prince Jing, who initially only wanted to be a carefree prince indulging in food, drink, and entertainment, ultimately ended up on this path.

If things have truly changed and people are no longer the same.

"Over the years, I've sent many people to look for the teacher. I never expected that the teacher was right under my nose."

When King Jing thought that Fang Daru was also his son's father-in-law, he addressed him with great kindness.

Isn't it just that the family is turning a corner?

With Fang Daru gone, those pretentious scholars should be less likely to criticize him.

He didn't care, but he was mainly worried about implicating Yiyi.

"I've gotten used to living in anonymity all these years. I just want to be laid to rest peacefully." Fang Daru sat down with the help of Prince Jing.

Thinking to himself, "This old man is so kind to Prince Jing. If he doesn't succeed, who will?"

"So, how come the teacher has come to a change of heart now?" King Jing asked with a smile.

“There’s no way to avoid it. Now that I have people I care about, I can’t let them continue to be inferior. I only ask for a wise ruler.”

Fang Daru stood up, knelt down, and bowed.

"Haha, teacher, get up quickly and have some tea."

King Jing helped the man up, but this time he didn't help him sit down.

Only after he fulfilled the proper etiquette between ruler and subject could he be considered to have acknowledged the great scholar Fang.

"You could say this is fate..."

As King Jing listened to the scholar Fang recount how he had adopted Ye Wan as his daughter, Green Ivy arrived.

"What's wrong, Madam?"

“Madam is alright. This is a gift from Madam. Please let this old gentleman take it.”

Green Ivy placed a rather expensive-looking jewelry box on the table and opened it.

Inside was a set of jewelry, emerald green, which looked extremely valuable.

"Your Majesty is truly generous," Prince Jing said, stroking his chin with a smile.

Is Yi Yi worried that her husband's wife might not have any jewelry to make a good impression when she goes back to her parents' home?

How thoughtful!

Seeing Prince Jing's lovestruck expression, Fang Daru coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness now has someone you love. Congratulations."

This commotion is just like Lin Anyuan's, like a male peacock spreading its tail feathers.

"The congratulations are yet to come. I have another son. You'll be surprised when he arrives, hahaha."

Fang Daru: "..."

King Jing's habit of liking to act as a father figure seems to be getting more and more serious.

...

...

"My goodness, it actually formed a fruit! But can this stuff really be eaten?"

The melons in the field are ripe, and Ye Wan brought people to the melon field today.

These seeds have been soaked in spiritual spring water, so they grow twice as fast as normal. Otherwise, it would be difficult to have a good harvest at this time of year.

Ye Wan had two large ones picked and cut them open on the spot so that everyone could have a taste.

Of course, she was already at home and didn't want to eat anymore.

"This, this..."

The group looked at each other, none of them wanting to be the first to try it.

"Lord Zhang, if you have any doubts, I'd like to eat first."

Ye Wan picked up a piece.

Everyone could see the bright red juice.

Is such a bright red color really harmless? Besides, the previous ones weren't this red or this big.

After Ye Wan finished eating, she thought to herself that it wasn't as delicious as the one in the space, but it was still very sweet.

"The pulp inside is edible, and the outer skin can also be mixed with salt and eaten as a dish."

When there's nothing left to eat, we'll eat grass roots and tree bark, so what's a little watermelon rind?

Seeing that Ye Wan didn't react, the group of people started eating, their eyes wide with surprise.

"I never expected it to be so sweet and thirst-quenching. I am indeed far inferior to Lady Ye."

Lord Zhang and others expressed their feelings.

They went from being unconvinced at the beginning to being completely convinced now.

King Jing's use of people was indeed unconventional, which truly reflects the vision of a ruler.

"We will give one to each of these farmers. Everyone has worked hard these days."

"While transportation is still possible, let's find merchants to sell it to various places."

After making the arrangements, Ye Wan returned home. She didn't need to worry about the rest; she just needed to focus on farming.

"Mother, I've already made back all the money I spent in my shop. This is half of what I promised you."

As soon as Er Ya returned, she brought back a huge pile of silver, which was very heavy.

In her words, she disliked light, flimsy banknotes that felt weightless in her hand; she preferred solid silver.

"You can keep it yourself. What would I do with your money?" Ye Wan was genuinely taken aback. Er Ya, that little stingy girl, was actually so willing to part with it.

"Our mother raised us, and we want to support her too. Please don't think it's too little, okay?"

Er Ya will never forget the time when Ye Wan led them to set up a stall together.

Although he was always deliberately bickering with Ye Wan back then, your life started to get better from that time on.

Thank God she met such a wonderful mother.
