Chapter 514 Extra - Doubt
After returning to Wutong Residence, Shu Tong reorganized and copied the outline of the opening ceremony of the sports meet. By the time she finished doing this, it was just lunchtime.
However, to avoid the Crown Prince asking why she prepared so quickly, she decided to deliver it after her afternoon nap.
The sun was shining brightly today, and the sky was cloudless. After lunch, Shu Tong leisurely picked up two books from the study, sat on the swing set, flipped through them casually for a while, and then took a nap.
When she woke up, the sunlight was just enough to block out the fruit and vegetable garden she had cultivated in the park.
Suddenly she felt inspired, so she rolled up her sleeves, changed her shoes, and went to the field to weed and water the seedlings.
She lived in the countryside for a while when she was a child, and often went to work in the fields with her grandparents. Although it was just for fun, she developed a habit of enjoying interacting with these seedlings.
Even Haitang couldn't dissuade her, so she could only let her enter the garden.
After finishing his work, Chen Ci looked up and saw that it was a pleasant afternoon with the sun shining brightly. He then took Tang Ming out of Chengqian Palace and planned to take a stroll around the mansion.
Just as I was wandering around, I inexplicably found myself outside the gate of Wutong Residence.
Before he could speak, Tang Ming went over and knocked on the door. Chen Ci glanced at Tang Ming indifferently and then stepped into Wutong Residence.
After passing through the corridor, you enter the inner courtyard, where you see a well-maintained fruit and vegetable garden. Shu Tong is wearing a pink dress and is bending over to water her fruits and vegetables.
Seeing the tranquility in her eyes, Chen Ci's previous doubts about her identity dissipated somewhat.
She looked like someone who had lived in the countryside and grown some medicinal herbs.
Everyone at Wutong Residence bowed to Chen Ci, and Haitang hurriedly got down to help Shu Tong up. However, Shu Tong simply raised the water ladle in her hand and greeted Chen Ci, saying, "Your Highness has arrived."
Seeing her bright and cheerful expression, Chen Ci felt a warmth in his heart and nodded with his hands behind his back: "Mm."
Seeing Haitang trying to pull Shutong, Chen Ci called out, "No need to come out. I just came to check on you. You can continue with your work."
After the Crown Prince spoke, Haitang could only glance helplessly at Shutong and leave the fruit and vegetable garden.
Shu Tong didn't stand on ceremony and finished watering the remaining half bucket before crawling out of the fence above her head.
"Your Highness, the seeds I planted have a germination rate of up to 80%..."
Shu Tong paused for a moment, then said, "That's about 80%. When the fruit ripens, I'll give you the first batch to try."
Chen Ci nodded, his deep eyes fixed on Shu Tong's face.
80%—this is not a word an ancient peasant woman would use.
The doubts from before resurfaced one after another. He smiled and asked, "Is the opening ceremony outline ready?"
"Ready?" Shu Tong washed her hands and face casually in the basin that Haitang handed her, then led Chen Ci directly to the swing: "It's on the table."
Chen Ci looked at the glistening water droplets on her unadorned face and felt a strange sensation in his heart.
He suppressed his many doubts, went to the desk, took the opening ceremony outline that Shu Tong had prepared, and opened it to read.
Haitang came over and tugged at Shutong's arm: "Liangyuan, why don't you go back to your room and change your clothes?"
Shu Tong looked down at the mud on her clothes and nodded, "Your Highness, please have a seat. I'll be right back."
Chen Ci nodded: "Go."
He sat down in the chair next to the desk and read through Shu Tong's outline from beginning to end. It was similar to what he had roughly seen before, with some added details.
But the overall feeling is still very novel.
It doesn't seem like something a female doctor who's never seen anything like this would write.
On the contrary, he seems like a seasoned planner.
That's very strange.
