Seeing that he was starting to suspect something, Lin Yuxin spoke up:
"These seeds are all being planted for the first time, so no one knows what to expect. We're learning as we go, and the harvest might come in a longer time next time we plant them. Who knows! So don't have too high expectations."
Lin Yuxin wanted to remind him that no matter how miraculous this planting was, he shouldn't have too high hopes. What would happen to the people if it didn't meet the current expectations?
Only she knew what was so special about the seeds she gave, but if they left later, the next batch of seeds might not have these special characteristics.
"Yes, yes, I was just being presumptuous!"
After being reminded by Lin Yuxin, Lord Long also came to his senses and realized that he had been too happy for too long, as food was entirely dependent on the weather.
Given the weather in the northern part of the city, it's already a blessing from heaven that the crops are growing so well.
"Alright, you go ahead with your work! I, the princess, will go and check on the fields in the nearby villages."
Seeing that he understood, Lin Yuxin did not linger any longer. She and Li Xiaochen, along with Lord Su and Wang Yuxueying, boarded a carriage and went directly to the nearest village near the prefectural city.
When Lin Yuxin arrived, she saw some people watering the wheat fields.
Although it's already October and the temperature has cooled down, the soil in the northern part of the city is usually drier, and it hasn't rained for almost three or four months. If they want the wheat to grow well, they have to water it every day.
This is why Lin Yuxin frequently asks Xueying and the others to find a water source.
"Princess, you've arrived!"
As Lin Yuxin walked along the path by the fields, villagers saw her and greeted her warmly.
Lin Yuxin would visit the nearby villages every few days to check on the condition of the fields.
Sometimes they would even go to more distant villages to conduct research.
Therefore, the people all knew this beautiful, gentle and dignified princess.
Moreover, everyone in the North City knows that the princess found water for them, distributed food and seeds, and provided free medical care, ensuring that no one in the North City starved to death.
Therefore, Lin Yuxin now enjoys a high reputation in Beicheng. Although Lin Yuxin often emphasizes that she is acting on the Emperor's orders, the people are not stupid. Even if she is acting on the Emperor's orders, the princess is genuinely thinking of their well-being.
Unlike some officials who outwardly comply but inwardly defy authority and disregard the lives of ordinary people, they did not act as such.
"Yes, Grandma Liu, are you watering the plants? How much water is left? Let me have someone help you!"
Lin Yuxin looked at the old woman whose back was already bent and asked with concern.
"No need, this old woman can still do it. We're almost done watering, so there's no need to trouble you, Princess!"
The old woman quickly declined, saying that the princess was so busy every day, and she was a dying woman, how could she trouble the princess?
"It's okay, I'll have someone help you, it'll be done in a bit."
As Lin Yuxin spoke, she asked a guard to help.
The old woman declined a couple of times, but couldn't refuse, so she gratefully agreed.
Don't ask why Lin Yuxin didn't go down to help herself. The answer is that as soon as she got down to the ground, the people would make excuses and blame themselves, as if they had done something heinous that made Lin Yuxin afraid to get down and help them.
Over time, whenever Lin Yuxin went to the countryside, she would bring a few guards with her. Whenever she saw elderly people with mobility issues working in the fields, she would ask her guards to help them.
No matter how much the common people refused, the guards were acting under orders, so they couldn't refuse and had no choice but to accept.
Lin Yuxin chatted with her mother-in-law for a while longer, then led the group forward.
"I never expected Yuxin to be so popular now!"
Li Xiaochen remained silent throughout, following behind Lin Yuxin like a bodyguard. Only when they were alone did he step forward and ask with a light laugh.
You're making fun of me!
Lin Yuxin glared at him and said.
"I am pleased that my wife is respected by so many people, which shows that I have good taste."
Li Xiaochen explained with a smile.
"Who...who is your wife?"
When Lin Yuxin heard Li Xiaochen call her "Madam," her face flushed instantly. She looked around in a panic and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xueying and Wang Yu were guarding a few meters away. Then she looked up and glared at him.
Why does this person speak without considering the context?
"What's wrong with you? Don't you want to be my queen?"
Li Xiaochen continued to tease her, and he found Lin Yuxin's embarrassed and angry appearance quite cute.
"I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Lin Yuxin said angrily and strode forward.
Lin Yuxin is completely helpless against Li Xiaochen now. He is no longer the prince she knew. So, is this how all love-struck people are?
Even the most powerful person can become so shameless once they fall in love with someone?
Li Xiaochen watched Lin Yuxin's retreating figure, shaking his head with amusement. He hadn't expected that this girl, who was usually quite bold, would be so easily amused.
After that, Li Xiaochen stopped teasing her. Lin Yuxin checked several more plots of land and discovered a new problem.
"Uncle Chen, there are insects on this wheat. We have to find a way to get rid of them."
Lin Yuxin looked at the wheat field in front of her. On her way here, she noticed that several wheat fields were starting to show signs of insect infestation. If she didn't find a way to get rid of the insects, all the wheat would be affected.
But she'd planted these wheat crops several times in her space, how could they be infested with insects? Did she not use enough fairy dew? No, I have to go into the space tonight and ask Zizi.
"What should I do? I've been coming here every day for the past few days. I didn't notice it at first, but there are so many today!"
