“Half a month ago, the Third Prince’s wife invited Miss Yang to the birthday banquet at Prince Kang’s mansion.
But somehow, Miss Yang fell into the water. Since no one else was there, the Third Prince's wife asked the Third Prince to go down and rescue her.
Miss Yang's reputation was ruined and she immediately wanted to commit suicide.
The Third Prince's wife then suggested that she marry into the Third Prince's mansion, saying that they could have the companionship of sisters.
Miss Yang originally had a fiancé, but it was said that his family fell into poverty and they had not been in contact for many years.
Once this happened, both families were very happy.”
Chi Xingyue understood that this fall into the water was most likely arranged by the Third Prince's wife.
The Yang family took advantage of the situation and married their daughter into the royal family, just in time to get rid of their impoverished in-laws.
“As for the Third Prince’s wife, she is the daughter of the Minister of the Supreme Court.
There was nothing special about her, but she had the Third Prince completely under her control.
There's been a severe drought these past two years, and I heard the Third Prince's wife has been buying food early on. They've also been sending people to buy medicinal herbs these past couple of days, but I'm not sure what's going on."
Chi Xingyue understood.
After being reborn, he knew that a natural disaster was about to happen, so he made preparations in advance to lay a solid foundation for the third prince to ascend the throne.
I just don't understand why the warehouses were not opened to provide disaster relief.
The two men asked for the addresses of the main officials in Shangjing City and prepared to leave.
Chi Xingyue gave the little beggar the lotus cake as promised, and the little beggar was so happy that he said, "Madam, I come here to beg every day. If you have anything else to know, come and find me!"
Chi Xingyue agreed, and walked out of the corner with Ling Jiheng, and went straight to the rice shop without any discussion.
As a result, there were few visitors here.
After asking around, I found out that, except for those authorized merchants, ordinary people have to look up their household registration before buying food here.
For those registered in Beijing, each person is entitled to one dou of affordable rice per month. If they purchase additional rice, they will have to pay a higher price.
As for outsiders, they are limited to purchasing one stone, and each stone weighs fifteen taels.
This price is quite high, but it is a seller's market now.
The two men bought a stone of japonica rice and asked the store to deliver it to the inn. They walked around the street for a while before going back.
After returning, they changed out of their luxurious clothes and turned back into Chen Gouzi and Chen Xiaotao from Jingzhao Prefecture.
The waiters were used to this. In order to fit in in Beijing, many outsiders would bring nice clothes to show off.
Of course, if you dress appropriately, you won’t be ripped off when shopping.
Chi Xingyue lay on the relatively clean wooden bed and asked Ling Jiheng what his plans were.
Ling Jiheng leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I'll go explore these mansions tonight and then take action based on the situation."
Chi Xingyue wanted to say that she wanted to join in too.
But with my skills, forget it. I won't be a drag.
He looked at Ling Jiheng with some worry: "Be careful. Even if we can't deal with them, it doesn't matter. As long as there is green mountains, there will be no fear of running out of firewood. A gentleman's revenge is never too late!"
Ling Jiheng held Chi Xingyue's little face and burst out laughing.
Then he held the person in his arms: "Don't worry, I can still escape unscathed! Go back to the fairyland tonight and don't come out until dawn!"
Chi Xingyue said "hmm" and waited until the moon was at its highest point in the sky and Ling Jiheng climbed out the window and left before he slipped into the space.
The space is as peaceful and tranquil as ever.
Chi Xingyue went to the bathroom to take a shower, then put on her pajamas and strolled in the yard.
The space didn't change when I took the bus last night and this morning.
But in the afternoon, while shopping and eating in Shangjing City, I still unlocked the Hawthorn Forest.
Worried about Ling Jiheng, Chi Xingyue couldn't sleep. He used his consciousness to collect the output in the space, fed the small animals, and then started to make something.
What to make? Salted duck eggs, salted chicken eggs, and canned food.
For the first two, she had only seen the villagers of Nanshan Village do it, and had never done it herself. Now that the space had a lot of output, she could use it as she pleased.
Thinking of this, Chi Xingyue started to take action.
Wash the duck eggs, boil saturated salt water and pour it into the jar after it cools down, then slowly put the duck eggs in.
Then seal it and place it in a cool and ventilated place for 25 days.
This is the simplest method, but it consumes a lot of salt. However, Ling Jiheng has a lot of salt stored in Jiangning Prefecture, enough for her to make it easily.
Then I washed some yellow peaches and prepared to make canned yellow peaches.
This is also simple. Peel and cut into pieces, then cook in sugar water.
No matter how it tastes, in this era of food and clothing shortages, being able to drink a bowl of sugar water and eat a piece of sweet fruit is something you wouldn’t trade for.
What's more, these yellow peaches are more delicious in can than in fruit!
Chi Xingyue made two whole jars. She glanced at the time. It was three o'clock in the morning and there was still some time before dawn. She picked some hawthorns to make candied haws.
Although it is too hot now and not suitable to eat, it will be winter when we get to Youzhou.
Taking a bite of the sour and sweet candied haws is the most appropriate way to enjoy the occasion.
Chi Xingyue boiled the syrup, put the red fruit bunches on the pot, rolled them gently, took them out and put them on a stainless steel tray to cool, and then put them in the kitchen.
I didn't make a lot, just about thirty or fifty skewers. I finished work when it was almost dawn and lay down on the small bed in the dormitory to rest. It felt like I closed my eyes and opened them again, and it was already past seven o'clock.
Chi Xingyue hurried out and fell into Ling Jiheng's arms.
She looked him up and down worriedly, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he was fine.
Without asking him how his investigation went, he pulled him to sit on the bed, took out a portion of pickled fish and a portion of rice from the space, and asked him to eat and rest quickly.
Ling Jiheng raised his hand and rubbed Chi Xingyue's untidy yellow hair. He smiled and said, "I'm fine, just a little tired. We've figured out the location, so let's take action tonight!"
Chi Xingyue's eyes were shining with excitement, and he was stamping his feet in his heart.
Is it about to start? Is the famous scene from the exile novel about emptying the warehouse about to happen? Ahhhh, she likes it!
I completely forgot how I stuck to my principles when I first came here.
All I can say is, revenge is for revenge, and grievances are for grievances. Who made the Third Prince plot against the Ling family's property, and the Sixth Prince wanted to take their lives?
Humph, you deserve it!
After finishing his meal, Ling Jiheng moved around a bit, took off his outer clothes, and hugged Chi Xingyue to catch up on his sleep.
All I could think about was the conversation I heard last night.
Back to the early morning, the Third Prince had just finished being intimate with the Third Prince's wife and talked about marrying a concubine.
"My beloved concubine is delicate and soft. Miss Yang's body is so big and strong that it makes me feel sick."
The Third Prince's wife smiled sweetly: "If my husband likes her, please favor her more often. If not, just find a random courtyard for her to stay.
I didn't marry her for her looks. If I didn't have that beautiful bride and a fortune, I wouldn't have wronged my dear husband."
“Yes, yes, my beloved concubine is compassionate and would rather give up her husband and help the king.
My dear, if one day I ascend to the throne of the Supreme Ruler, I will certainly grant you the position of the head of the harem, and a life of glory and prosperity."
Next, there were more charming sounds, but before it could get to the climax, the guards reported.
