Zhong Muyu mentioned the dream incident from last time.
Lu Ziyuan said, "But... I was the one who went to save you."
"Yes, yes, yes, you deserve the most credit."
Zhong Muyu grinned and walked around to the back of his seat, wrapping her arms around his neck from behind.
"You, sigh..."
Lu Ziyuan looked like he couldn't do anything about her.
Zhong Muyu gently nuzzled him: "Don't be jealous. It was my fault today. I left without saying goodbye and came back so late. For the next few days, I'll only go out and play with you, okay?"
Lu Ziyuan pulled her close and gently hugged her: "I'm sorry, I haven't had much time to play with you these past few days. I don't want to keep you by my side all the time, but I'm afraid. I'm afraid you'll run away, afraid you'll be captured by those strange people with sorcery like last time."
Zhong Muyu patted his back: "I won't run away, and I will protect myself. You have to believe me."
Lu Ziyuan said solemnly, "That's right, I must believe in you, and I cannot be afraid of those sorcery. If you are captured, I will risk my life to save you!"
He realized that it was useless to be afraid of the unknown; he had to overcome it, and he still had to protect his wife!
Thinking of this, Lu Ziyuan held Zhong Muyu even tighter. Just then, Chengfeng called out from outside, "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's time for dinner."
How come Chengfeng is still so clueless even after getting married? Can't he see that he's being all lovey-dovey with his wife?
Oh, the door is closed, he can't see it either.
"Understood, you may leave."
Lu Ziyuan's tone was unfriendly, but Zhong Muyu smiled and patted him, "Alright, don't take your anger out on them. Let's go eat."
Zhong Muyu pulled the dissatisfied Lu Ziyuan along, and the two went to eat.
...
After resting for a few days in Qingshui Village, the two returned to the Wangfu (Prince's Mansion), accompanied by a cart full of crops.
The townspeople all peered out curiously, wondering what strange things were loaded on the truck. A few corn kernels that accidentally fell along the way were picked up and examined for quite some time.
After returning, Zhong Muyu handed the crops to Uncle Qiu and gave him some instructions.
Uncle Qiu nodded: "Leave it to this old servant with peace of mind!"
Zhong Muyu instructed, "Remember to find a spacious hall. I will prepare the specifics with you."
At this moment, Lu Ziyuan came up from behind and said, "How could such an important matter be without me?"
"You? What are you going to do?"
"Do as much as you can, as long as my princess doesn't get tired."
Zhong Muyu smiled slyly: "Then I'll have to make good use of you!"
"You can order me around as you please."
Lu Ziyuan didn't expect that Zhong Muyu was serious.
Zhong Muyu arranged for him to negotiate with the shop owners, and with his own official duties in Lingqing City, he was busy all day long, spinning like a top.
A day later, the exhibition was set up and the invitations were sent out; all that was left was for people to arrive.
This invitation extended not only to the shopkeepers of the Prince's Mansion, but also to prominent merchants in the city and the president of the Lingqing Chamber of Commerce.
Back in their room that evening, Lu Ziyuan leaned on Zhong Muyu's shoulder, exhausted: "Yu'er, I've done everything you said."
"Finished? Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Ziyuan was very dissatisfied: "That's it? Aren't you going to give me a reward?"
Here it comes again, that coquettish tone that Zhong Muyu isn't used to.
She sighed helplessly and kissed Lu Ziyuan on the cheek.
Is this okay?
"That's not enough, we need more."
As he spoke, Lu Ziyuan actually untied her belt.
Didn't you say you were very tired?
Seeing the glint in his eyes, Zhong Muyu knew he was lying.
"Yu'er..."
Lu Ziyuan called her softly.
"Um?"
"The more I'm with you, the less I want to let you go. I'm afraid I'll never be able to change this habit in my lifetime."
"What's going on all of a sudden?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you these things."
Lu Ziyuan put her on the bed and whispered in her ear, "Yu'er, we have to work hard."
effort?
After a moment's thought, Zhong Muyu understood the meaning.
She had stopped taking birth control pills, but having a child is something that can't be forced. Lu Ziyuan was quite anxious, but she wasn't.
Just let things take their natural course.
"Um……"
She nodded softly and then closed her eyes.
...
The exhibition was held as scheduled on the second day.
Zhong Muyu set off two strings of firecrackers at the entrance, attracting a lot of onlookers.
People only see all sorts of wealthy people coming here, but there isn't even a signboard, so they don't know what's going on inside.
Zhong Muyu had already arranged all kinds of agricultural products and had also personally prepared many delicacies, which everyone could enjoy.
Looking at the crops they had never seen before, the shopkeepers exchanged glances, seemingly hesitant to eat them.
I hope that anything I've never seen before is poisonous.
Seeing this, Lu Ziyuan reassured everyone, "Don't worry, everyone can try them. They're all safe."
After saying that, he personally demonstrated by eating a piece of peanut brittle.
With the Prince of Ling taking the lead, the others became less wary and started eating. As soon as they started eating, the doubts on their faces vanished instantly.
"It's delicious! It's really delicious?"
"The ingredients smell delicious, and the cooking is excellent. The chefs in the Prince's mansion are truly amazing."
Lu Ziyuan said, "Actually, all of these were made by the Princess herself, so that everyone could truly appreciate the deliciousness of these foods."
"It's actually the Princess! This humble subject is truly terrified!"
"It's alright. After everyone has eaten, just share your thoughts."
After Lu Ziyuan finished speaking, several people immediately shared their opinions, which Zhong Muyu, who was in the inner room, listened to and wrote down.
She was too lazy to attend such social events; she would only appear when she was needed.
After grain crops came into season, it was time for vegetables and fruits. Growing these things was quite laborious, so Zhong Muyu only planted a few in her space's cultivation room and the restaurant's backyard, in very small quantities.
However, these brightly colored things are not like grains, and even if Lu Ziyuan personally demonstrates them, they are not very daring.
But since it was the prince's order, everyone had no choice but to bite the bullet and try a little.
People have different tastes, and even if someone has tried this kind of food, there will always be people who don't like it.
Soon, several people's expressions changed, but the others ate with relish.
Lu Ziyuan gave them the manual that Zhong Muyu had prepared in advance, so that they could learn what things were while eating and then make comparisons.
Just as Zhong Muyu had imagined, chili peppers are indeed not a popular food.
Lu Ziyuan sat there casually, and seeing that they had finished eating and looking around, he asked, "How did you all feel?"
One of them said, "These are all good things, but if everyone were to grow them, it wouldn't just be as easy as them being delicious. We can use the Prince's land to grow some and supply the Prince and the capital every year."
