Emperor Kangxi was furious. The imperial physician came to examine him and found that he was perfectly healthy.
He couldn't openly discuss such a hidden ailment, so he could only send people to secretly search for similar cases among the common people.
He can tolerate not touching a woman for a while, but can he really tolerate not touching her for the rest of his life?
He's only twenty-eight, the age when his needs are at their peak.
Kangxi's troubles were unknown to anyone. He did not want to publicize such a shameful matter for the time being. In order to prevent people from noticing anything unusual, Kangxi could only become more and more obsessed with state affairs. Because he was in a bad mood, he was very unhappy with the flattery that was too fake. He purged a lot of people who were good-for-nothings who did not like to do practical work.
That's a good thing, too.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Youqing would go to the farm every night to check on things. Although there was no need to weed or fertilize, she just wanted to check on it from time to time.
As vegetables and fruits grew from seedlings to adulthood, they brought life and vibrancy to the otherwise dull and restrictive court life.
Fruit seeds are limited, so not many are planted, and they don't take up much space. Most of the land is used for fresh and lush vegetables that grow vigorously and look delicious.
The vegetables were good, but with such a large field, You Qing began to worry: "Won't I have to harvest them myself?"
System: "Of course."
All Youqing can say is, a bad review, absolutely a bad review.
Since she could only harvest manually, Youqing had no choice but to continue her work in the fields in order to get a good meal.
Planting and harvesting are both tiring, but with fresh, healthy vegetables right under your nose, at least you have something to look forward to, and you're motivated to get to work.
They harvested half an acre of vegetables in just one night.
The vegetables were planted in separate sections, with several varieties on half an acre. Even with Sangzhu, the two of them couldn't finish eating them all. They kept some and sold the rest, earning 110 gold coins.
Vegetables won't spoil if stored in a warehouse.
"System, I want to buy cutting-edge technology."
The system didn't speak, but a transparent panel appeared in front of Youqing, listing the prices of the cutting-edge technologies.
Then Youqing fell silent.
The cutting-edge technology of automatically harvesting vegetables: 1000 gold coins.
Gold coins featuring automated farming technology.
Needless to say, there are other advanced technologies that accelerate crop growth, with even the lowest-priced one costing 1000 gold coins.
...
The cutting-edge technology features are very appealing, but upon closer inspection, they are all things that Youqing cannot afford.
It seems that 110 gold coins can only buy one tool to assist in planting.
So Youqing spent 100 gold coins to buy a planting assistant, which could help with farming and make it less tiring.
Even if it can't be harvested with one click, it's still good if it can save time and effort.
In this way, Youqing's assets went from 110 to 10, returning to square one, with almost all of her assets wiped out.
Although the farm can process crops, it can only process real things. The warehouse only has vegetables, and if it wants to process them, it can only process them into dried vegetables, and only dried vegetables that are dehydrated without adding anything.
She had initially thought she could directly process it into various delicacies! But that was wishful thinking.
To achieve various delicious flavors, you also need various seasonings. These seasonings can either be grown yourself or obtained from outside.
Youqing thought about the remote location of Jingyang Palace and suddenly remembered that the farm store seemed to have solar furnaces. As the name suggests, solar furnaces are used to convert solar energy into heat.
Since it's cutting-edge technology, it's naturally different from solar energy devices with low conversion rates. It can last for ten to fifteen days after just one day of sunshine in the summer, and it can also store a huge amount of solar energy. It's incredibly useful.
Jingyang Palace is a cold palace with very few people. With the solar furnace, cooking without oil fumes is no longer a problem and there's no need to worry about being discovered.
Youqing asked the system, "Can I buy the solar furnace and use it in front of Sangzhu?"
The system gave her a positive answer: "Yes, you can."
Youqing was even more confused after getting the answer she wanted: "This doesn't make sense."
How could one not be suspicious when so many things suddenly appear out of nowhere?
The system explained: "It's actually very simple. Hypnosis will do. As long as Sangzhu thinks you are a fairy descended from heaven, she won't suspect anything, not even if a solar furnace suddenly appears out of thin air, or even if you ascend to heaven out of thin air."
Upon hearing "ascending to heaven," Youqing's eyes suddenly lit up: "Can you suddenly get me out of the palace?"
There are plenty of men with yang energy outside the palace, so she won't have to endure this weak body anymore. Plus, she has the farm in her hands. She thinks this is a good option.
The system froze: "This won't work!"
It's not that it's impossible, it's just that the system doesn't have enough energy right now. If the energy were sufficient, the system could actually make leaving the palace not too difficult by hypnotizing a large number of people. But the system's energy is insufficient. Hypnotizing one Sangzhu is possible, and hypnotizing one more would be barely manageable.
But she'd encounter so many people on her way out of the palace, and she was too weak to walk more than a few steps before she was breathless. To leave the palace safely, she'd have to hypnotize a lot of people, something the system couldn't do!
All Youqing wanted to say to the system was: Trash~ Heh
Although she couldn't leave the palace, the thought of being able to eat lots of delicious food in the future brought some comfort to the restricted Youqing, who silently memorized the menu in her mind.
Tomato fish, pickled cabbage fish, boiled fish...
Although there are no fish yet, the farm could dig a fishpond, and she even saw that they sell fish fry!
Spicy crayfish, hot pot, barbecue, mala tang (spicy hot pot), salt and pepper shrimp, sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, sweet and sour lotus root, spicy chicken, mapo tofu, Kung Pao chicken, twice-cooked pork, shredded pork with garlic sauce...
Slurp~
The more she thought about it, the hungrier she got. The imperial kitchen was terrible; their skills were undeniable, but everything she ate was substandard.
