The rear hall of Qing'e Palace.
When Xie Zhou came over, he saw the eunuchs carrying several large earthenware basins.
It was quite large; the eunuchs needed two people to carry it, but Xie Zhou watched as his Crown Princess effortlessly lifted it up by herself.
The eunuch brought over some soil, and the Crown Princess was there discussing with the head gardener how to deal with it.
Xiuyun was confused, as she was only responsible for eating and tasting the food, which was not within her scope of duties.
Even though Jia Fei, the gardener, was in his thirties and had been cultivating the garden for thirty years, he didn't quite understand it.
Huan Yue, who was also only half-baked, said, "It seems to be in the book that if the soil is dried in the sun, the plants won't get sick easily. You also need to kill the pests. It's the same for planting in the ground."
Jia Fei didn't look down on the Empress for being an amateur. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "That makes sense. Let's take the soil to the back and let it dry in the sun."
Huan Yue looked at the sky: "It's going to rain, so it might not get any sunshine in the next couple of days. Let's plant it for now and deal with it later."
She's the one who wants to show off, and she's the one who wants to plant.
Xie Zhou watched as his Crown Princess carried a large basket of soil into a large earthenware pot, and she could even lift it up and move it to another place.
He is strong enough to lift a tripod!
It seems that Qing'e Palace is getting used to it.
Xie Zhou felt that the four imperial attendants were not enough for her to carry.
Huan Yue said to Jia Fei, "Seeds can also be disinfected, such as tea seed cake and maple seed cake. If done properly, they can be very useful for farmers."
Xie Zhou immediately understood and came over to ask, "Which book is it from?"
"I forgot."
Huan Yue looked at him, not remembering that she had bumped her head?
Xie Zhou wanted to kowtow to her and get her back.
Jia Fei got some seedlings.
Huan Yue looked at it and said, "The cucumber is good. It can be eaten raw or cooked, and it can also be used as a face mask."
She suddenly glanced at the scoundrel and wondered if putting on a face mask one day would scare away ghosts.
Xie Zhou didn't understand and asked, "Is this also from the book?"
Huan Yue said, "There are houses of gold in books, and beauties like jade in books. Honey and egg white face masks are also good, as are honey and cucumber masks."
Huiqing replied, "I'll give it a try."
Huan Yue said, "Honey is quite expensive, so let's grow more cucumbers. It's a pity we can't raise chickens."
Xie Zhou's eyes widened. His Crown Princess wanted to raise chickens in the palace? This Crown Princess must be from the Chang family.
It turns out that the Crown Princess was not like the Chang family.
Perhaps it's because village girls are used to doing manual labor that they are so strong, and they don't mind getting so dirty.
Huan Yue quickly went to tidy up.
The young palace maid went to serve him, but ignored the prince.
Jia Fei and his group tidied up; managing the garden was their job. Even if one person couldn't carry all the earthenware pots, they could just bring a few more.
The cucumbers, cowpeas, eggplants, and bok choy are starting to look promising.
The young eunuch asked, "Should we put it in the kitchen?"
It's a bit further away from here. There's a flowerbed here, but it doesn't look very nice, especially since His Highness comes here often.
Huan Yue tidied up and came out, saying, "We can plant them directly on the ground outside the kitchen, let's plant a row of them."
Everyone exchanged furtive glances, wondering if the Empress might really have turned Qing'e Palace into a vegetable garden.
The cat chimed in, pointing to the east corner: "You can also put some clay pots in there; you can grow cucumbers, loofahs, radishes, and cabbages there."
Qi nodded.
Although the master can eat fresh food, if it is skimped on, the servants often don't eat well.
If you can raise chickens, then forget about it.
Huan Yue thought for a moment and then said, "We can also grow some wild vegetables, like purslane and horse rancidity."
The young palace maid asked, "Why are we planting wild vegetables?"
Huan Yue said, "When there's nothing to eat, even wild vegetables are scarce. Besides, both purslane and horse purslane can be used in medicine."
Jia Fei said, "Plant."
Qi said, "Plant them inside too. It won't affect drying things."
Placing it in that corner doesn't affect the beauty of the Qing'e Palace.
So Xie Zhou has been watching here for a long time, but his Crown Princess doesn't care about him or the Pei family?
An official came looking for them.
Xie Zhou, seeing that he was about to talk about the Pei family, invited the Crown Princess to listen as well.
The wind was blowing hard outside. As Huan Yue entered the house, he said, "Plants grow faster after a rain."
Xie Zhou felt that he wasn't as popular as the cucumbers he had just planted.
I sat in the tea room in the east wing, waiting for dinner.
The window in front of the tea room was open, and the breeze blowing in was quite refreshing.
Xie Zhou looked at her. "Your headache is gone?"
Ouch! Huan Yue sat down to the side, supporting his head with one hand, his illness and weakness perfectly controlled.
Xie Zhou was speechless when he saw her transform into a sickly beauty in an instant.
The palace maids, serving tea, also found the Empress quite amusing. She could lift a large earthenware pot and fall ill without a trace of illness.
Huan Yue wore a green dress, which added a touch of fragility to her otherwise refined demeanor as a fake heiress.
She's beautiful no matter what, even when she's angry.
After the two officials were seated, he began to speak slowly and deliberately, serving them tea: "It seems that Pei Huanxu has his eye on General Lü's daughter."
Xie Zhou's murderous aura immediately filled the air!
Huan Yue was curious.
Pei Huanxu is truly a talent. He has a rumored affair with Princess Yongjia and is also eyeing General Lü's daughter. How could the Pei family possibly be worthy of him?
However, in the book, Pei Huanxu's wife is the daughter of Xin Di, the Vice Minister of War.
Xin Di's wife was the half-sister of Empress Dong.
Xie Zhou not only knew about Pei Huanxu's wife, but also knew that Lü Liang had once been a staunch loyalist to the emperor, but later forced Dong Shi to side with him.
Perhaps it was a scheme orchestrated by the Dong family? They sent Pei Huanxu to harm Lü Liang's daughter, and then he ended up marrying the Dong family's niece.
Wasn't Lü Liang also fooled? But because the whole situation was chaotic.
It seems the Pei family has caused all the chaos; the Pei family doesn't have that ability, but the Dong family does.
After the Dong family's chaotic endeavors, Lü Liang was ultimately killed in battle.
Huan Yue asked the palace official, "What does Pei Huanxu want to do?"
The official said, "We just found out that he planned to play the hero and rescue Miss Lü when she was out having fun."
Huan Yue blurted out four words: "Break his legs."
Xie Zhou suppressed his murderous intent.
