The next day, Gao Zhijun's brilliant performance in the palace was widely spread, and every corner of the capital was talking about it with exaggeration.
The poems written by Gao Zhijun are even more widely circulated, especially the one "When the sun is at its highest point in the sky, I am hoeing the field, and my sweat drips to the soil. Who knows that every grain of rice on the table is the result of hard work?" It made many wealthy businessmen realize that food is not easy to come by.
The people knew that the emperor advocated not wasting food, and many wealthy businessmen and landlords told their families not to be extravagant and to save food.
As a result, a trend of saving food was set off in the capital.
The emperor issued an imperial decree to help the second prince divorce his wife.
When the Second Princess received the imperial edict, she regretted her decision and begged the Emperor to revoke his order and the Second Prince to intercede for her. However, the Second Prince treated her coldly, and Eunuch Zhang and others sent her back to her parents' home.
Her family thought she was useless, kicked her out of the house and cut off all ties with her.
The Second Princess looked at the bundle in her hand and hated Gao Zhijun to the core. She vowed to kill her to relieve her hatred.
The streets and alleys of the capital were all talking about the Second Princess, and it was a hot topic.
After the ministers knew the consequences of the Second Princess, they all warned their sons/grandsons, daughters/granddaughters not to learn from the Second Princess, otherwise they would not blame him/her for being cruel and cold-blooded and would drive him/her out of the house.
Although those young ladies were dissatisfied, they did not dare to go against the wind and offend Princess Xiangyun, ending up like the second princess.
After Gao Zhijun got up, the Sun family and the Huo family had already left the princess's mansion to open for business.
Hongyue brought breakfast to Gao Zhijun.
"What time is it now? They've all gone to open the shop, right?"
Gao Zhijun asked Hongyue while eating breakfast.
"Yes, Princess! There is only Master Huo Jinqian in the mansion."
Hongyue said.
When Gao Zhijun heard that Huo Jinqian was the only one in the mansion, she couldn't help but think of what happened last night, and her face turned red instantly.
"I understand. You can leave now. I'm going to check on the Second Princess's farm and shop later, and have Qinglong and Canglang get ready."
Gao Zhijun said a little uncomfortably.
She was afraid of being alone with Huo Jinqian today, so it would be best to go and see the farm and shops.
"Yes, Princess!"
After Hongyue finished speaking, she left Gao Zhijun's room and went to find Qinglong and Canglang.
Gao Zhijun finished her breakfast, tidied herself up, and then walked out of the room.
Qinglong and Canglang were already waiting outside the room. When they saw Gao Zhijun, they said respectfully, "Miss, are you going to see the farm and the shops?"
"Yes, are you ready?"
Gao Zhijun asked Qinglong.
"Ready and ready to go!"
Qinglong said.
"Let's go!"
Gao Zhijun went out first and passed by Anranju, where Huo Jinqian was waiting.
It turned out that after Hongyue informed Qinglong and Canglang, she took the initiative to inform Huo Jinqian. She didn't know that Gao Zhijun suddenly went to see the manor and the shop because she didn't want to be alone with Huo Jinqian.
"Zhijun, you need to go see Zhuangzi, wait for me!"
Huo Jinqian saw Gao Zhijun passing by Anranju without stopping, and he felt she had no intention of calling him. Hongyue's calling him was probably not her order, but her own initiative to inform him.
Gao Zhijun had originally thought of pretending not to see and simply walking past, but Huo Jinqian saw her and called out to her, so she had no choice but to stop and wait for him.
It was strange, why was he waiting here? I hadn't asked anyone to notify him. Could it be that the servant had informed him on his own initiative? Or maybe he hadn't meant to be here, and I just happened to see him passing by.
The only people who knew she was going out to see the manor were Qinglong, Canglang, and Hongyue. Could it be these three? Gao Zhijun speculated in her mind, then observed the three people's faces back and forth.
Qinglong and Canglang were confused, not knowing why the young lady/princess would look at him like that.
Hongyue lowered her head feeling guilty, not daring to look at Gao Zhijun. She didn't know that the princess had no intention of calling Master Huo. If she knew, she wouldn't have dared to inform him on her own even if she had ten times the courage.
Gao Zhijun could clearly see the reactions of the three people and knew that it was Hongyue who took the initiative to inform Huo Jinqian.
Forget it, ignorance is not a crime. Hongyue didn’t know what she was thinking and did the opposite. Seeing that she was usually loyal and just committed a crime for a moment, I forgave her.
Since Huo Jinqian was already waiting for her, she had no choice but to go with him to see Zhuangzi. After all, they were engaged, so if he did something a little inappropriate, she could just treat it as a way for an engaged couple to get along.
After Huo Jinqian arrived, Gao Zhijun continued to move forward and arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion. The coachman was already waiting in the carriage.
Canglang took the reins and asked the coachman to get off. He personally drove the carriage to take the princess to see Zhuangzi.
Gao Zhijun got on the carriage, followed by Huo Jinqian, and Hongyue also got on the carriage and sat next to Gao Zhijun to serve her.
Huo Jinqian sat opposite Gao Zhijun and looked at her.
Qinglong sat next to Canglang, always on guard and observing both sides of the street. He wanted to protect the young lady's safety.
After being whipped by Canglang, the horse galloped towards the Second Princess's farm.
Zhuangzi was located in the suburbs south of the city. Soon the carriage arrived in front of Zhuangzi and stopped.
Gao Zhixia was the first to get off the carriage and saw a spacious farm. It was said to be a hundred acres, but she estimated that it was more than a hundred acres.
The person who measured the land must have wanted to curry favor with the Second Princess, so he lied about the amount.
Behind the farm was a large mountain, about a thousand acres. Gao Zhijun thought she could buy it and plant some flowers, plants, and fruit trees. If possible, she would also like to grow rice.
The village is surrounded by farmland where sweet potatoes and cassava are grown.
The emperor acted swiftly, having already had the people plant sweet potatoes and cassava. It is believed that soon, the people here will be able to eat sweet potatoes.
