I never expected that this Miss Yun would know how to enjoy life so much. The chef in the manor is so skilled that he can even rival the chef in the prefectural government.
But then I thought about it again and it seemed normal.
Since His Highness Prince Cheng is here, the cook must have been transferred from the Prince's residence.
Not long after they finished eating, Yun Zhiyi strolled over with Fu Ziyu.
Fu Ziyu already knew that the other party knew his mother and was carrying something his mother wanted to give him.
As soon as he arrived, his eyes were fixed on Princess Fu'an, full of expectation yet also a little apprehensive.
He really wanted to ask about his mother's condition.
She's not the type to be overly outgoing.
Princess Fu'an noticed his embarrassment and took out the letter with a smile.
"Young master, this is a letter that Princess Zhao asked me to give you. What you want to know may be mentioned in the letter."
Although Fu Zishu, the eldest son of the Prince of Zhao, seems to have become much more well-behaved after being reprimanded by His Majesty recently.
But there must be quite a few underhanded tricks going on behind the scenes.
With Prince Zhao now back at his residence, and given his high regard for his eldest son, Princess Zhao's life is likely to become difficult again.
Since Princess Zhao didn't mention these things, she naturally wouldn't ask any further questions.
She wouldn't offer to help unless the other party did.
Therefore, without the other party's permission, she wouldn't say anything more to the child.
Fortunately, Fu Ziyu was currently focused on the letter his mother had sent, and had no time to ask any further questions.
He suppressed his excitement, accepted the letter and thanked the sender, then held it tightly in his arms and looked at Yun Zhiyi.
Yun Zhiyi patted his shoulder with a smile, "Go back and read the letter."
"Mmm." The little guy responded obediently, then happily ran off with the letter in his arms.
Princess Fu'an, observing the way the two interacted, wisely refrained from inquiring about how they knew each other.
Yun Zhiyi didn't explain anything to her, but invited, "Would you like to take a walk around the manor? How is Miss Yu'er? Is she alright?"
Princess Fu'an readily agreed, "Yu'er hasn't recovered yet, so let's leave her alone for now and let her have some peace and quiet."
Yun Zhiyi nodded and led her out of the courtyard.
Let's start by touring the estate.
Because of that farce and Fu Tingchen's presence, everyone was in a panic and had no time to pay attention to the scenery along the way.
Now, upon closer inspection, I discovered that although the houses in the village are ordinary, the scenery is exceptionally beautiful.
The weather has already turned cool, and the best blooming season for roses has passed.
But at this time, the roses in the manor were still in full bloom, forming clusters that hung heavily from the railings and pillars on both sides, a truly beautiful sight.
Fruit trees can be seen everywhere along the corridor, some still laden with fruit, while others still have some fruit left to ripen.
Some of them, though already plucked, still look lush and verdant.
Along the artificial stream, purple, white, pink, and yellow water lilies are in full bloom, creating a breathtaking scene.
Princess Fu'an looked at the vibrant flowers, plants, and trees in the manor and couldn't help but say.
"Where did you hire this gardener? He takes such good care of the flowers, plants, and fruit trees. Did the lychees grow like these fruit trees?"
Yun Zhiyi smiled and said, "Yes, the two largest trees that you just passed around the corner are lychee trees. However, they will have to wait until around August next year to bear fruit. At that time, you can still see the whole orchard in full bloom. If you had come a little earlier, you could have seen many more trees bearing fruit."
I've been busy harvesting fruit ever since the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Many of the ripe fruits from the fruit trees in the village have been picked.
To avoid over-ripening.
Some fruits also need to maintain a balance of sweet and sour flavors to be suitable for making drinks.
Otherwise, it could be left on the tree to ripen a little more.
For example, mulberries and raspberries.
The fruit trees in the village that haven't been fully harvested yet are cherries, longans, pears, and white peaches.
The first two types are not yet at their peak ripeness, while the latter two types will not ripen quickly and do not need to be used for the time being, so they are left hanging on the tree for now.
The group happened to walk past a few longan trees.
Then you can see bunches of longans hanging over the wall, almost touching the ground.
Yun Zhiyi led her over and picked a bunch of longans.
These longans are also a special variety.
Each one was a size bigger than a coin, bright yellow, round, and looked rather dull.
Pick one, peel off the stem, and a piece of the husk will come out, revealing the crystal-clear flesh inside.
Although it is not yet at its peak ripeness, the longan already tastes very sweet and juicy, with seeds so small they are almost invisible.
Princess Fu'an had naturally eaten longan.
This is different from lychees; it's not that rare. Every year, many are sent to Beijing from various places.
She owns two estates in the capital.
But this is the first time I've seen one this big with so many fruits.
Just like the first time I saw the lychees she brought me, it was unexpected.
Unlike other new fruits, these did not have a control group.
Compared to the norm, the difference is simply too obvious.
The air is filled with the sweet aroma of longan.
Kan Yunzhi casually peeled one and ate it.
She thought for a moment and then reached out and picked one as well.
The maid wanted to step forward and help her peel the shell.
She waved her hand and tried to peel it open.
Longan peel is even thinner than lychee peel.
The outer shell of the branch had already been peeled off when it was picked.
Simply tear along the opening to reveal half of the snow-white, translucent fruit flesh.
She opened her mouth and took a bite.
Her mouth was instantly filled with juice, which made her eyes brighten a little.
Is this really a longan?
She even suspected that the longan she had eaten before was fake.
Whether it's longan or lychee, whether it's common or tribute fruit, none can compare to the products from her village.
She had specifically asked the manager who used to be in charge of the estate.
The village does have a lot of trees, but 80% of them are expensive ornamental flowering trees. The few fruit trees transplanted from the forest are only so because they look nice when they bloom.
But as you walk along, there are hardly any ornamental trees; they are mostly fruit trees.
That is to say, all the flowers and plants in the manor have actually been replaced by the new owner.
In just a few months, these flowers, plants and trees not only grew so lushly, but also bore fruit as usual, and the fruit tasted better than any I had ever seen.
It really piqued her curiosity.
Where did Yun Zhiyi get so many rare and high-quality fruit trees?
Suddenly, she remembered the striking field of yellow flowers she had seen before.
It seems to be called a sunflower.
I've never seen that kind of flower before.
"The sunflowers I saw outside the manor seem to be missing inside. I find these flowers quite beautiful; why not plant them in the manor?"
Yun Zhiyi smiled and said, "Sunflowers only bloom for about a month, and their main purpose is not for ornamental purposes but for their fruit. A-Yun has come at the right time, just in time for the blooming season. They will wither in another month."
"Fruit?" Princess Fu'an asked in surprise, recalling the fleeting glimpse she had just caught.
"Do these flowers also bear fruit?"
I had only seen such large flowers before, I didn't realize there were fruits on them.
No wonder they planted such a large area of it.
I thought Yun Zhiyi especially loved this flower, which is why she planted so many of them in the estate.
