Chapter 233 Xiao Chengjin and Madam Xiao are obsessed with farming
In order to ensure the germination rate of wheat, Jiang Ruo told Housekeeper Lin a rough date range.
At the command of Steward Lin, the strong laborers took the initiative to get up early and return late.
Jiang Ruo was inexplicably moved by this scene.
During the sowing period, many people from nearby came to watch.
They looked at the busy figures in the fields, as if they were seeing the scene of a good harvest next year.
Some people quietly picked up the new tools, gesturing and nodding.
Some of them secretly imitated the strong laborers' movements and picked a few times. It turns out that this tool is quite easy to use once you get started.
Jiang Ruo watched the scene from a distance and said to Xiao Chengjin proudly, "Look, they are still quite concerned about this matter!"
"After a while, when the wheat has a high germination rate, I think they will come to observe it every day."
Haha, there are people who specialize in looking after the crops.
Xiao Chengjin looked at that pretty face and replied jokingly, "Everything is under Ruo Ruo's control."
"Of course." Jiang Ruo said with a smug smile.
Inside the palace.
Xiao Junze, who was handling official business, calculated the time and knew that all the assassins sent to assassinate Xiao Chengjin were killed in return.
Thinking of this, Xiao Junze's face became even gloomier.
He threw the memorial in his hand onto the table, stood up and paced back and forth in the hall.
At the beginning, I should have listened to my mother and taken advantage of Xiao Chengjin's young age...
Deep brotherly love?
How can there be brotherhood among the royal family?
It's like raising a tiger to harm you in the end.
Manager Ji looked at Xiao Junze's gloomy face and subconsciously took a step back, trying to minimize his presence.
Xiao Junze suddenly thought of the "arrogant" traveling doctor.
He glanced sideways at Manager Ji and said sharply, "Have you found out the origins of that itinerant doctor?"
When Manager Ji heard this, he shuddered.
He frowned, bowed, and replied, "Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to investigate, and there is no problem with this person's identity."
"That's good. At this critical juncture, we must not let people with ulterior motives sneak into the palace." After Xiao Junze finished speaking, he returned to the desk and picked up the memorial to review it.
Manager Ji patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, a young eunuch hurried into the hall.
He knelt on the ground and presented a secret letter, "Your Majesty, a secret letter from Jizhou."
"Present it!" Xiao Junze put down the memorial in his hand.
Steward Ji hurried forward and took the secret letter from the young eunuch.
He turned back to Xiao Junze's side and quickly presented the secret letter to him.
Xiao Junze couldn't wait to open the secret letter and whispered, "The Phoenix has disappeared. Xiao Chengjin and Madam Xiao are obsessed with farming."
Manager Ji: “…”
Obsessed with farming?
Is the information wrong?
Xiao Junze placed the secret letter on the table, his expression becoming somewhat subtle...
Farming?
What tricks are these two playing?
Opening a grain shop and farming...
It turns out that he has wolfish ambitions.
Thinking of this, Xiao Junze's face suddenly became gloomy.
But when he thought of the soil in Jizhou, he couldn't help laughing.
"Ha ha......"
"Since you like farming so much, just farm in Jizhou for the rest of your life!" Xiao Junze seemed to be in a particularly good mood.
Manager Ji was watching from the side with a terrified heart.
The emperor is moody and life is very difficult for them as servants.
Xiao Junze stopped laughing and said to the eunuch, "Write a secret letter to the people in Jizhou to monitor Xiao Chengjin's every move at any time."
"I obey your order!" After receiving the order, the young eunuch stood up and left tremblingly.
East Palace.
Xiao Mocheng no longer took charge of state affairs after Xiao Junze recovered.
However, Xiao Junze would send someone to deliver some memorials every day to Xiao Mocheng for processing.
In the study, Xiao Mocheng flipped through the memorials and muttered unhappily, "Sure enough, they're all insignificant memorials."
Xiao Shunzi caught a glimpse of Tang Shihuan and her servant approaching slowly, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is here."
Xiao Mocheng restrained his expression and said, "I understand."
He put down the memorial in his hand and put on a gentle smile the moment Tang Shihuan entered the study.
"Huan'er, why are you here?" Xiao Mocheng stood up and walked in front of Tang Shihuan.
"I noticed that Your Highness has lost some weight recently, so I personally cooked some bird's nest porridge."
After Tang Shihuan finished speaking with a shy look on her face, she said to her maid Cailian, "Cailian, put down the bird's nest porridge and go out and wait!"
"Yes, Princess."
Cailian placed the tray on the table beside her, bowed, and said, "I'll take my leave!"
After Cai Lian left, Xiao Mocheng said to Xiao Shunzi, "Xiao Shunzi, you should go out and wait too!"
"I'll take my leave!" Xiao Shunzi bowed and left, closing the door of the study.
Tang Shihuan turned her head to glance at the closed door and smiled.
She took off the lid of the soup bowl and poured the bird's nest porridge into a small bowl.
"Your Highness, this is something I made specially for you. Please try it." Tang Shihuan said, covering her burned fingers.
It would be fine if she didn't cover it, but by covering it up, wouldn't she be telling Xiao Mocheng that her fingers were burned?
"Huan'er, what's wrong with your hand?"
Xiao Mocheng put the bowl down and, with a worried look on his face, he picked up Tang Shihuan's hand to check...
Looking at Tang Shihuan's red and swollen fingers, Xiao Mocheng said distressedly, "Huan'er, from now on, just let me do this kind of rough work."
"Look at your fingers, they are burned."
"I will feel bad."
Upon hearing this, Tang Shihuan was so moved that her eyes turned red.
She snuggled into Xiao Mocheng's arms and whispered softly, "Your Highness, I see you working so hard every day, but I can't share your worries. I feel deeply guilty!"
"Oh, by the way, Concubine Ye will be carried into the Eastern Palace the day after tomorrow. I have already sent someone to tidy up her bedroom."
"Your Highness, rest assured."
Xiao Mocheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
He reached out and stroked Tang Shihuan's back, and said meaningfully, "Huan'er, these women I took in are all for our future."
"Don't worry, you are my only wife in Xiao Mocheng."
Tang Shihuan listened to Xiao Mocheng's sweet words and felt secretly delighted.
My mother is right. Men like sensible and gentle women.
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Mocheng, deliberately putting on a guilty look, "Your Highness, it's a pity that my father is just a civil servant."
"If... you can take over the General's Mansion..."
Xiao Mocheng covered Tang Shihuan's mouth with his hand, "Huan'er, the General's Mansion is not something we can worry about, understand?"
"Your Highness, Huan'er knows she was wrong." Tang Shihuan lowered her head, her voice trembling, but a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Mocheng sighed helplessly, "Huan'er, our father is still in his prime. We must be patient about some things."
"So, we have no choice but to wait."
"When the critical moment comes, we can win over the General's Mansion."
Hearing this, Tang Shihuan smiled gently, "Huan'er understands!"
She turned around and picked up the bird's nest porridge on the table, "Your Highness, the bird's nest porridge is cold."
Seeing that Tang Shihuan was so docile, Xiao Mocheng didn't say anything more and reached out to take the bowl she handed over.
Tang Shihuan was particularly happy after she learned that Xiao Mocheng would not try to win over the General's Mansion for the time being.
She thought to herself: When this Crown Princess gives birth to a legitimate grandson, I won’t be afraid of any woman, no matter how powerful her background is.
Therefore, the first priority is to quickly conceive a legitimate grandson.
