Chapter 414 How long have you been married to your prince?
The two worked until it got dark before they finished.
The King of Qin rubbed his aching wrist. "This is the day I've written the most characters in my entire life."
Jiang Wan Ning didn't say anything. During the locust plague, she had to treat patients and distribute porridge every day, so this was nothing.
Jiang Wan Ning noticed it was getting late and was about to go check on Niannian when Kan'er stopped her, saying, "Your Highness, everyone has prepared a meal. Why don't you go and have a bite first?"
"We don't have anything decent to offer, so we can only make something nice for the princess to eat."
"Grandma Li went back and killed her own rooster." Kan'er was afraid Jiang Wan Ning would look down on the food here.
He explained hastily, "Your Highness doesn't know, but Granny Li's rooster starts crowing before dawn, sometimes even in the middle of the night. Scarface wants her to kill it."
Grandma Li couldn't bear to part with it, and the first thing she did after returning home from Your Highness's place was rush into the kitchen to grab a knife and kill that big rooster.
“Everyone has prepared some food, and I’ve come to invite the Princess over.” Kan’er glanced at the King of Qin, “Oh, and this prince will also come.”
The King of Qin knew that their main purpose in inviting him was to express their gratitude to Jiang Wan Ning.
His title of prince is just a side job, don't worry about him. Let's have a good meal first. We haven't eaten since we came in, and we're hungry.
Seeing the sincerity and expectation in Kan'er's eyes, Jiang Wan Ning nodded, "Okay, but I need to go see Niannian first."
"Your Highness, are you referring to that child?" Kan'er replied with a smile. "Your Highness, don't worry, that child has already been taken away by Scarface and is eating right now."
Jiang Wan Ning was startled. What can an eight-month-old baby eat?
This man doesn't know how to take care of children, and he probably won't feed her anything that's hard to digest.
"Where are you? Let's hurry over there."
Kan'er pointed in a direction and quickened his pace.
When Jiang Wan Ning arrived at the dining area, everyone had brought out their own small wooden tables from home and pieced them together to form a large long table, with each family bringing out a dish.
The table was laden with dishes, enough to be described as a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, all prepared in the simplest and most rustic way.
"Your Highness is here? Please have a seat." Someone saw Jiang Wan Ning and immediately gave her the middle seat.
The scarred man heard the sound and turned around to look.
Jiang Wan Ning's beautiful eyes widened instantly, not because she was surprised that the scarred man had shaved his beard and the scar was gone, but because he looked like a refined scholar.
Instead, she was surprised to see Nian Nian lying on the scarred man's chest, sucking incessantly.
"It seems this child has chosen the wrong breast milk. He cries as soon as I put him down, and he keeps sucking even when he can't get a suck. Do you have any ideas on how to treat this?"
He took the child to Aunt Zhang's house today. Aunt Zhang had just given birth and had milk.
But after the little girl had eaten and drunk her fill, she kept asking to be held. And not only that, she even started sucking on my...
He would cry if he wasn't allowed to suckle, his face turning blue and red from crying. He was genuinely afraid that crying would cause something serious to happen.
He felt like he would be eaten by Jiang Wan Ning.
Therefore, we can only let her suckle as much as she wants.
Jiang Wanning shook her head, "I treat illnesses, I don't treat this kind of mother-child relationship."
"Perhaps you could ask these aunties who have given birth."
“I asked them, and all they did was laugh and say there was nothing they could do.” The scarred man gave up struggling and gently patted Nian Nian’s bottom. “Don’t eat anymore.”
"Isn't this the most delicious food on the table?"
Niannian sucked for a long time before looking up, grinning at the scarred man, "Okay, okay."
She was referring to her 'brother'.
Because she was just learning to speak, her pronunciation was a little unclear, but her soft and sweet voice made the scarred man's heart melt completely.
"Such a young child can already talk?"
"That's normal; some children start speaking early."
"......"
The experienced women in the village chatted amongst themselves.
The scarred man held Nian Nian in his arms, taking care of her carefully.
Jiang Wan Ning sat opposite, watching intently. The people here seemed genuinely kind and simple, and the scarred man's care for Nian Nian didn't seem fake either.
Her vigilance eased somewhat.
The most dangerous person now is the King of Qin.
Jiang Wan Ning turned her head to look at the dignified King Qin sitting next to her, who was now gnawing on a soft, mushy pig's trotter.
never mind...
Early the next morning,
Jiang Wanning got up early to continue seeing patients for her fellow villagers and also stayed with them to farm.
She had longed for this kind of life for a long time, but she never expected to live it here. It's just that the prince wasn't here, and the prince beside her wasn't her own prince.
Jiang Wan Ning glanced at the King of Qin following behind her, muttering to herself about when dinner would be served.
Since last night's meal, it's as if he's discovered a new culinary continent.
"You have no idea what kind of life I lived in the northern desert. Not only did I not have any delicious food, but even if there were many things available, I could not eat them."
"With you by my side now, I can eat anything. I'm so happy."
An old woman nearby overheard this and joked, "Isn't the princess and the prince husband and wife? Aren't you two?"
"Isn't it known that only by marrying a prince can one become a princess?"
“Grandma Li, you’ve misunderstood. There are many princes,” another aunt said. “This prince and his wife are not a couple.”
Grandma Li said "Oh" with some regret, "You two are both quite handsome, why aren't you a couple?"
As she spoke, Granny Li moved a little closer to Jiang Wan Ning, "Child, is your prince treating you well?"
Jiang Wan Ning knew that the old woman was concerned about her. She bent down to pull out the grass in front of her, looked up and smiled, "The prince is very good to me."
"Why haven't you sent anyone to look for you, even though you've been here for so long?"
Grandma Li said, "You're still young and so beautiful, you must have a lot of people around you who flatter you."
"You must keep your eyes open. Your so-called prince hasn't come looking for you yet. I don't think he's a good person."
The old lady pouted and shook her head when she said her last words, looking very cute.
"I think this gluttonous prince next to me is not bad. Although he looks a bit silly, I've met many people, and this prince is not a bad person."
"She's still a tagalong, which will make her easy to control. Once this daughter has a man under her thumb, life will be comfortable no matter what."
“Oh, Grandma, don’t worry about them,” another aunt said. “These kinds of things should be left to the young people to handle.”
The aunt had barely finished talking about Granny Li when she eagerly came over and asked with a grin, "Hey girl, don't feel bad that we call you that."
"We villagers feel this is so welcoming."
Jiang Wanning smiled and shook her head.
"How long have you been married to your prince?"
