Ji Fengshou's body trembled even more violently.

Anyone who shows you kindness without any reason is either a traitor or a thief!

This guy came up to me for no reason and showed his goodwill. Could it be that... Could it be that he was really attracted by his beauty?

Ji Fengshou swallowed hard and wanted to refuse: "At home today..."

"Okay! In that case, I'll shamelessly come to your house. Let's go together?"

Wei Qiumao didn't wait for him to say no, and almost couldn't wait to pull Ji Fengshou out of the palace gate.

Sitting in the carriage on the way home, Ji Fengshou still hadn't realized what was happening.

Why did Lord Wei follow him home talking to himself? ! !

But everyone was already in the car, and he couldn't kick them out, so Ji Fengshou had no choice but to take them into the reception room and sit down.

"I wonder what Sir Wei has come to visit today?"

Ji Fengshou was so nervous and unsure about Wei Qiumao's enthusiastic attitude today that he just sat down and asked without even saying hello.

Wei Qiumao chuckled, "Master Ji, what you said is really too formal! I am the emperor's right-hand man, and you are the emperor's son-in-law. We should be close to each other. I have been busy before, and now that I am free, I want to come and pay my respects. The princess and the county lady are here, right? Why don't I pay my respects first?"

Ji Fengshou felt uncomfortable with the other party's familiar yet intimate attitude: "My Yue...my princess went to the Marquis Zhongle's mansion, but A Ying is here."

Wei Qiumao's eyes instantly became more eager: "Then why don't you, Master Ji, call the princess over to have a chat?"

Ji Fengshou glanced at Wei Qiumao warily.

What does this guy mean?

Why did his daughter's eyes light up when he heard it?

"It's not appropriate to ask my daughter to come over while we're talking, right? How about if Lord Tianwei brings your daughter over instead, I'll naturally let my daughter come out to entertain the guests."

Seeing Ji Fengshou's suspicion mixed with a bit of vigilance, with an expression of 'you are up to no good' written all over his face, Wei Qiumao realized that his attitude had been misunderstood.

He gave a bitter laugh and then spoke: "To be honest, I came here today just to see the princess."

Ji Fengshou secretly clenched his fists.

"I'm genuinely curious about how the princess discovered potatoes and sweet potatoes, and how she cultivated them. You know, our Ministry of Revenue is in charge of all matters related to land, taxes, and labor service. What the princess does is closely related to us, so how could I not be concerned?"

"I don't know how you and the princess raised such an outstanding child like the princess. It's really shameful!"

After listening to his explanation, Ji Fengshou suddenly understood. Hearing the last word of flattery, the corners of his mouth immediately raised, and he pressed his fist against his mouth to suppress it: "It's nothing, actually. This child is just born extraordinary. He has been different from other children since he was a child."

After saying that, Ji Fengshou raised his voice and said, "Linzi, go get Ah Ying!"

"Okay!" Ji Shilin agreed in a loud voice and ran to call people.

Wei Qiumao's curiosity was piqued: "Master Ji, would you like to tell me how extraordinary the princess has been since she was a child?"

"My daughter Aying has always had a different mind since she was young..."

Ji Fengshou talked about the past incessantly, from how Ji Changying was diagnosed as a fool when he was a child, to the Taoist priest's comments later, and then to how he suddenly woke up a little bit and was "gifted" with the ability to recognize various plants, and so on and so forth. Wei Qiumao was sometimes skeptical and sometimes shocked when he heard it.

When Ji Changying came over, she saw the two of them having a very pleasant conversation.

"Dad, why did you call me here?"

Wei Qiumao stood up and looked at Ji Changying with fiery eyes: "Princess Hehua! I am the Minister of Revenue, Wei Qiumao!"

Ji Changying smiled and nodded: "Hello, Lord Wei!"

"Princess! Is the potato and sweet potato thing true? Has it been implemented in Liangzhou? Can the yield per mu really reach 4,000 kilograms? Can these two things really fill your stomach?"

Ji Fengshou didn't expect that Lord Wei would talk so much.

Ji Changying was also stunned for a moment before she laughed out loud: "Of course it's true. Liangzhou has already planted two crops, and the yield per mu is between 3,000 and 4,000 kilograms. They can plant two crops a year, so maybe more people will plant next year."

Wei Qiumao pinched his thigh excitedly, "Please tell me in detail, Princess! This is very important to our Ministry of Revenue!"

Since this matter was exposed, Ji Changying knew that this day would come sooner or later.

Listening to Ji Changying talking endlessly about the discovery, planting and harvesting of these two crops, as well as the outlook for the future, Wei Qiumao was so excited that he could not sit still. Even Ji Fengshou was excited.

"Could it be that the Taoist priest was talking about precognition? Is it really that magical..."

Wei Qiumao couldn't help muttering to himself. He remembered what the prince of Northern Yan said to the Taoist priest: they had a good harvest in the Dali period, and their homes were full of food.

"What foresight?"

Ji Changying's crisp voice brought Wei Qiumao back to his senses. He looked at Ji Changying with a complicated expression and couldn't help feeling a little regretful. Why is it just a girl?

Why does it have to be a girl?

If this was a boy, he would be so shameless as to stay in the princess's mansion every day and would still try to get him into the Ministry of Revenue.

He is so familiar and professional about crops, he must be someone from their Ministry of Household Affairs!

"The Crown Prince of Northern Yan once said that a Taoist priest there predicted that our Dali years would be plentiful and abundant, so he asked for 10,000 dan of grain. It turned out we didn't have any, so everyone thought it was a joke and that they had been deceived."

"But now, considering what the princess said, I can't help but wonder, could it be that the Taoist priest is really some master? He wasn't talking about now, but about the future?"

Ji Changying couldn't help but frown. "These are turbulent times. Lord Wei, you can't just say that casually. It will only lead to speculation. Regardless of whether it will be true in the future, this is the result of our solid progress, step by step. It has nothing to do with ghosts and gods."

Wei Qiumao's expression froze. "Indeed, I was careless."

···

When he returned home at night, Wei Qiumao tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, and sighed from time to time.

Mrs. Wei finally couldn't stand it anymore, she stood up, picked up the pillow and hit him: "Are you still going to sleep?!"

Wei Qiumao sighed again: "Madam, I really can't sleep."

Madam Wei looked at his worried expression and took a deep breath. "Tell me! Why can't you sleep?"

"I've fallen in love with a young lady and want to..."

"Wei Qiumao!!!"

Madam Wei roared in rage and reached out to grab Lord Wei's head. Screams were heard in the room.

"Madam! Madam! You misunderstood! I am talking about official business! Official business!"

Seeing his wife's displeasure and the hair on his head being pulled out in small clumps, Lord Wei was heartbroken and did not dare to delay for a moment, and quickly said the rest of the words: "I am attracted by the ability of a young lady and want her to work for the Ministry of Revenue, but she is a young lady! It is really a pity!"
