Chapter 225: The Back Garden is a Vegetable Field
Chapter 225: The Back Garden is a Vegetable Field
The harem of the Qing Palace is a very strange place.
Other people’s harems are filled with beautiful girls and a hundred flowers competing for beauty.
In the harem of Qing Kingdom, concubines each stayed in their own little piece of land and never came out. Even if they did, they would not go to Panlongjing to frown.
Emperor Qing has not entered the harem for more than ten years and has lived like a monk.
There have never been any new people in the palace. The newcomers from many years ago have all become veterans, and the atmosphere now is terribly harmonious.
They all stayed in their own palaces, eating melon seeds and drinking tea, feeling extremely comfortable.
That is to say, on the first and fifteenth day of each lunar month, one has to pay respects to the Queen and the Queen Mother as usual. There is nothing special about the greetings, just a simple greeting, and then everyone goes back to the palace.
But today is special.
The ladies in the harem were a little busy, but only a little. After all, no one knew how the situation would eventually develop.
The reason why the emperor's white moonlight is white moonlight is because he has avoided her for many years, and if he can't get her for one day, she is no longer white moonlight.
Concubine Chen stayed in the palace because of the Fourth Prince's affairs, but many years later the Fourth Prince returned after completing his studies.
Could things have gone in a different direction?
What if Concubine Chen leaves the palace, and the Emperor and Concubine Chen rekindle their old love and stop being monks, and Bai Guangyue accidentally turns into a grain of rice, will they have a chance?
But it seems that even if there is a chance, there won’t be many years left. We are all not young anymore, and the emperor’s four princes are all adults.
Even if you receive divine grace and become pregnant, can you give birth to a child safely?
Forget it, let’s just watch the fun.
More than ten years have passed, and the fighting spirit they had when they first entered the palace has been worn away. It's pretty good for them to just eat and drink like this.
They dressed up and asked people to keep an eye on the movements in Blue Moon Pavilion, wanting to know whether she would come out to the welcoming party for that person's son.
Finally, in the evening.
The side door of Blue Moon Pavilion opened, and a maid walked out gracefully, heading straight to the former back garden, now the vegetable garden...
At that time, Li Jiaojiao was working as a tour guide in the vegetable field.
Although this was her first time visiting this place, she was familiar with the things on display as they were all things she had been eating since she was a child.
"Princess, these are the beans that have been harvested. They are extremely delicious, and the yield per mu can reach 4000 kilograms?" The gray-haired Zuo Xiang still had a loud voice.
He and Academician Ji each took a seat next to Li Jiaojiao, pushing everyone else aside.
Zuo Xiang’s question was undoubtedly another key issue. They were all tired of hearing such large yield figures per mu, but they still felt their scalps tingling when they heard that the yield was 4000 kilograms per mu.
My old swan.
What kind of concept is this?!
Li Jiaojiao raised her hand and picked up a long bean. She could touch it at will in the vegetable garden, even though no one else could touch it.
There was also a young eunuch following behind with a basket in his hand, and he would put whatever the princess picked into the basket.
"These beans are of course delicious when you first eat them." Li Jiaojiao played with a bean in her hand and secretly transferred supernatural powers to a few bean seedlings.
The ministers’ ears perked up high, with a look of confusion on their faces: ???
The supernatural power transfer is completed.
"Bang bang~"
Li Jiaojiao picked one and then another.
"And there are many ways to eat green beans. The simplest way is to stir-fry them and they are delicious. But... the yield is so high that you usually get tired of eating them after a while..." Li Jiaojiao looked at the green beans with a face full of mixed feelings of love and hate.
The varieties in her space are excellent varieties selected from the market. They have high yield, are resistant to pests and have good taste.
Later, it was germinated with her supernatural power and irrigated with spiritual spring water.
The yield and taste will definitely be the same, but when I think of the days in my previous life when beans dominated every year, I still feel a little... nostalgic, hehe...
The ministers: ...let out a sigh of relief. The princess is so young, but somehow she has the problem of panting heavily when speaking.
Everyone was secretly complaining in their hearts, but they were smiling brightly on their faces. Are you kidding? Don’t you see that the Emperor, the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince, and Censor Li are all staring at them with ill intentions?
Who dares to be presumptuous?
"Excuse me, Princess. How are the beans being taken care of? Is there anything that needs improvement?" Meng Qingxian asked as usual after the princess finished picking the vegetables.
"Lord Meng has taken good care of it. There is nothing that needs attention. The shelf is also very sturdy." Li Jiaojiao couldn't help but glance at the neatly built bamboo shelf and felt that Lord Meng could take up a part-time position in the Ministry of Works.
Minister Lin: ...
I suspect Lao Meng wants to steal my job!
He put a handful of beans into the basket brought by the eunuch, "As usual, just stir-fry them."
"Yes, Princess." The young eunuch bowed and stepped back, then trotted straight to the imperial kitchen.
These are the main dishes that will be served on the table tonight, so you have to hurry up.
……
When the maid from Blue Moon Pavilion arrived at the vegetable garden.
Everyone has surrounded Li Jiaojiao and asked about all the crops in the vegetable garden.
How can looking at the pictures be more detailed than a real-life introduction?
Although each family has sent people to purchase pictures of crops from Yuncheng, they already know what they will look like when they mature.
But it still does not hinder the enthusiasm of the ministers to participate in their growth process.
"Princess, can these be used to produce offspring?" Meng Qingxian asked the last question.
Even Emperor Qing turned his gaze over here again.
Whether seeds can be saved and how to save them will be the most critical information for the continuation of these crops.
"Of course you can." Li Jiaojiao smiled and took out a booklet from her sleeve.
Then he walked past the crowd and came to Emperor Qing, "Your Majesty, here are the methods of growing vegetables, maintenance and management, instructions for eating, and how to save seeds for sowing!"
Emperor Qing raised his hand past Li Jing who was about to take the booklet, and took it himself and opened it. Before he could read the content, the font he saw made him look up at the fourth brother who was not far away.
This was sorted out by his fourth brother.
The fourth brother has his father in his heart! Woo woo woo...
"Your Majesty, these are some methods of making fertilizer and preventing pests developed by the Fourth Prince in Yuncheng. They have been tested and are also given to you." Li Jiaojiao took out another booklet.
"Oh, by the way, there is also a method of making ice." Li Jiaojiao took out another booklet.
She is now the princess of Daqing and makes a living on Daqing's territory. Sooner or later, these things will have to be handed over. It is better to hand them over early than late.
What's more, she didn't reveal her cards.
If it is something that everyone knows, it is not called a trump card.
The more seemingly important things she reveals now, the more others will think they know her, and the more they know her, the easier it will be for them to let down their guard.
Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. This is what many people often keep in mind when trying to figure out a person.
But they often overlook that since it is a trump card, they will certainly not let you know it easily.
They are both good at hiding, such as her space and Lu Liang's invisibility.
For example, even Lu Liang didn't know about the spiritual spring water in her space...
"Princess and the Fourth Brother, thank you for your hard work for Daqing!"
Emperor Qing looked at the three booklets in his hands and the stack of papers in Li Jing's hand, then looked at Li Jiaojiao's sleeves.
Can this girl’s sleeves hold so much?
"Anything else?" asked Emperor Qing?
Li Jiaojiao: ...Take it out again?
Ministers:...
The princess simply left no chance for the minister to survive...
"Your Majesty, someone is coming to Concubine Chen's side." Li Jing looked at Concubine Chen's personal maid standing next to him and reminded Emperor Qing.
Emperor Qing turned around and said in a friendly manner, "Did Yueqing ask you to come out for something?"
The maid bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen asked me to ask His Highness and the Princess to change their clothes."
