After Jiang Yunshan left, Madam Zhang hesitantly spoke, "Sir, I, I don't know that new composting method..."
Yu Zizhen heard her voice was floating, with obvious guilt, and couldn't help but smile, "It's okay, you just put your name on it, I won't really let you study this."
Madam Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she was just being used as a shield. That was no problem.
She said, "All the work in the fields can be done by me. As long as you don't need to do anything new, you can ask me to do the work in the fields."
Her son is a precious person, and she can't just watch him ferment fertilizer, plow the fields, weed, water the crops, etc. She will do these rough and tiring work.
At this time, Yu Zizhen didn't know that because of Madam Zhang's wholehearted protection of her, her subordinates would soon compete with her to do farm work.
Because there were so many people and so little work, these people finally "sidelined" her and turned her into a mere technical instructor.
She completed today's reading and martial arts tasks quickly and well, and then lay there thinking about matters related to increasing grain production.
To increase production, it is essential to improve soil, fertilizer, seeds, farm tools, etc., regulate temperature and humidity, and prevent and control pests and diseases.
There are so many complicated things to do. If she wants to do them, she has to find good helpers first.
Thinking about this, Yu Zizhen fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Yu Zizhen, who claimed that he was "frightened and needed mental compensation from the culprit", first practiced martial arts at home with full energy, and then took Yaoguang to the palace to study without any pretending.
Wan Jingrong has been under house arrest since yesterday, so he naturally won't come to the South Study to study today. However, Lu Heng, who was only punished by Lu Tong to copy books in private, came to the South Study early.
Seeing Yu Zizhen walking in with high spirits, Lu Heng, who was holding back a lot of anger, could no longer suppress his emotions.
He pointed at Yu Zizhen and said, "You! You came to the palace alive and kicking just one day ago. How could you have the nerve to say you were frightened yesterday?"
Yu Zizhen smiled, "Didn't Wan Jingrong's family send me some silver notes to calm me down? And you know what, it worked really well~"
Lu Heng:!!! I was so full of curse words that I wanted to burst out.
The others tried hard not to laugh out loud. It wasn't because they wanted to gloat over Lu Heng's misfortune, but because they suddenly felt that Yu Zizhen's despicable and infuriating tone was really funny.
One of the eldest prince's study companions, Yang Shixian, liked Yu Zizhen, who was straightforward and had a clear distinction between love and hate. He took the initiative to come over and talk to Yu Zizhen, "My name is Yang Shixian."
"Yu Zizhen." Both of them had heard of each other. After greeting each other, there was no need for further self-introduction.
Yang Shixian smiled and invited Yu Zizhen, "Your Highness, you haven't chosen a seat yet, right? There's an empty seat next to me. If you don't mind, why don't you sit next to me?"
Yu Zizhen touched his chin and asked, "Where will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sit?"
Yang Shixian was startled, but he quickly pointed to the table without a chair on the middle right of the front row, "There."
Thinking of the eldest prince's difficulty in walking, Yu Zizhen immediately understood why the table did not have a matching chair.
She immediately asked, "Can I sit behind or beside His Highness?"
Before Yang Shixian could say anything, Lu Heng had already sneered rudely, "A barbarian is a barbarian. He wants to fawn over others, but he doesn't even know how to choose a promising master for himself first."
Yang Shixian's face was filled with anger, but Yu Zizhen smiled with sharp white teeth, "A dog is a dog. All he has in his mind is servility and fawning over his master."
Lu Heng was so angry at her that he almost exploded on the spot. He wanted to curse back, but at this moment, the eldest prince Xiao Yuanjin was pushed into the southern study by the eunuch beside him.
Lu Heng dared to mutter behind the eldest prince's back that he had no future, but he didn't have the courage to do so in front of the eldest prince.
He obediently shut up, but Yu Zizhen was even more animated than before. She quickly ran to the eldest prince, smiling brightly as she called out, "Your Highness!"
The eldest prince, Xiao Yuanjin, was as aloof as ever. He nodded slightly and said, "Prince."
"Just call me Zizhen." Yu Zizhen's enthusiasm remained undiminished. "There are at least 20 or 30 princes in the capital, if not 180. You called me prince, and I couldn't even react immediately to realize you were calling me."
This familiar attitude made Lu Heng and others feel a toothache.
The eldest prince still maintained his expressionless, icy demeanor, but to everyone's surprise, he actually called Yu Zizhen by her name, "Zizhen."
Yu Zizhen smiled and said "Hey", then asked the eldest prince, "Your Highness, I would like to sit next to you. Is there any empty seat next to you?"
Lu Heng looked at Yu Zizhen, who was fawning over the eldest prince, with disgust, wondering if this guy was really the prince of Zhenbei. Could the prince of Zhenbei be so humble as him and try to please a disabled prince?
Even the eldest prince's other study companion, Fan Zhongming, was so shocked by Yu Zizhen's performance that his face showed a lot of emotions.
The young master, who usually always smiles and doesn't let anyone see any real emotion, was so shocked that his mouth could hardly close.
The eldest prince Xiao Yuanjin was also a little surprised by Yu Zizhen's excessive enthusiasm when facing him. You know, this was the little warrior who had just confronted Duke Cheng'en Lu Tong yesterday!
That's Duke Cheng'en. Even if he doesn't cover up everything in the court, at least he can cover up most of it without any problem.
Yu Zizhen could treat such a person with a cold face and refuse to give in. So what kind of considerations made her so kind to a disabled prince like him?
The eldest prince was worried, but Yu Zizhen was just overly enthusiastic towards him and did not pose any threat to him. Naturally, the eldest prince did not want to show any displeasure to him, the prince of Zhenbei.
He pointed to the empty seat closest to the door, "That one's still empty."
Because it was close to the door, the teacher, and the eldest prince, this seat had never been occupied. To the left of the eldest prince sat Xiao Shaoke, the late emperor's youngest son.
Directly behind and to the left of Xiao Shaoke sat his study companions Wan Jingrong and Lu Heng respectively.
As for Yang Shixian and Fan Zhongming, they sat directly behind and to the right of the eldest prince respectively.
"Then I'll sit there!" Yu Zizhen sat in that seat without any disgust. After sitting down, he turned around and smiled at the eldest prince.
The eldest prince was dazzled by her brilliant smile, but soon he clenched his fists and looked away from Yu Zizhen.
Yu Zizhen was not in a hurry. She was already here and had expressed her goodwill so clearly. The eldest prince would become close to her sooner or later.
