Chapter 1157 Famine and Natural Disaster 317

Since it was a place for the master to watch, it was impossible for the Crown Prince to bring a foreign man here to play. If she met a foreign man here, she would not be able to explain it clearly.

"Sister Yuan, don't worry, no one comes in here on weekdays."

"Really?" Yuan Youniang asked uncertainly.

Mingyi nodded, "The prince doesn't like others to come in, and there are only a few servants here on weekdays. Sister Yuan can relax here for a while. If you are tired, sister will take you to the courtyard where I live to rest."

"That's right! Thank you sister Mingyi. I understand. Let's take a walk here. The flowers and plants over there are blooming really well, they are lush and full of vitality."

As long as no outsiders come in, Yuan Youniang can relax and enjoy the scenery. If you don't know it, it is really amazing at first glance. The small garden is divided into one large flower bed and many small flower beds, and different flowers are planted in each flower bed. of valuable flowers and trees.

For example, there are peonies of various colors planted in the middle, and beside them there are precious flowers and plants such as wintersweet, orchids, chrysanthemums, etc. of several colors.

Spring is here, and two types of wintersweet are still blooming, as are orchids and chrysanthemums, and the colors immediately become brighter.

She lived here on weekdays and saw a lot, but she didn't find it amazing.

"These were planted by the prince." Mingyi introduced them to her one by one, "Sister Yuan likes them very much."

Mingyi has not been to the aristocratic circles here and does not know about this; Zhou Ting will not tell her this. As for what Aunt Zhao and Aunt Rong teach, they mostly teach the rules of the aristocratic family and the genealogy of the aristocratic family. Maybe the two nuns just thought she knew about this.

Mingyi said it sincerely, and she really felt this way; in life, it is a great blessing to be able to eat and drink without worrying about food, let alone being born into an official family with a pampered daughter.

Yuan Youniang smiled and shook her head, "I don't like it very much, but I like it very, very much. I remember that General Huaihua also had a garden where he planted some orchids and chrysanthemums. These two species are relatively easy to survive. But that is Huaihua. You can only see them when there are banquets in the General's Mansion. There are not many precious flowers and trees in other mansions, so it's great to have one or two. I didn't expect to see so many flowers and trees in the Royal Mansion. It's really a blessing."

"That's not possible." Yuan Youniang chuckled, "Sister Mingyi, when you came to the northwest, you also experienced the coldness of the twelfth lunar month of winter. Rare flowers and trees are very delicate and require a lot of energy to take care of them. Even if they are moved into the house in winter, they are still there. Consider whether their root systems will be burned by floor heating.”

"Sister Yuan likes them so much, you can try to raise some."

"Sister Yuan is also a blessed person. She was born in an official family and has no worries about food and drink."

"Ah?" He was full of doubts, and his eyes showed it, "Why did Sister Yuan say that?"

Just, quite suddenly.

Staring at the flower, his eyes sparkled, but it was not greed, but pure appreciation.

"That's quite a pity." Mingyi looked at Zhou Ting's small garden, and at this moment she became deeply aware of the rareness of these flowers and trees.

"It's nothing, I just think sister Mingyi is very lucky." Yuan Youniang didn't elaborate, and Mingyi didn't ask in detail. Since she didn't want to tell, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to ask further.

It is a taboo to talk superficially and deeply.

The northwest is desolate, and growing flowers and grass requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Therefore, rare flowers and plants are rare in the northwest, but it is not difficult in the south.

Are there so few rare flowers and trees in the Northwest? !

Yuan Youniang covered her lips and smiled: "My sister is a very lucky person."

Yuan Youniang heard the kindness in her words, but didn't think much about it.

"Yes! Being able to eat and drink without worrying is already a merit accumulated in the previous life, so that you can be reincarnated under the knees of your parents." She smiled slightly, put down her hand and looked at Mingyi, with a light teasing in her eyes, "Sister Mingyi does everything at home. What is it?”

"Studying at home, farming, and going to the mountains to play, there's nothing special about it." Yuan Youniang raised her eyebrows slightly and asked curiously: "I'm going to ask, I heard that sister Mingyi fled to the northwest?"

"Yes, there is a severe drought in the south, and the vassal king repeatedly conscripts troops. The people can no longer survive. In order to find a way out, all the people in the south, with ten houses and nine empty houses, came out to find a way out."

"I only heard from dad that there is chaos in the south, and many vassal kings have rebelled. Fortunately, we have Prince Zhou's Mansion in the northwest to stabilize us. Otherwise, our northwest will also be affected. Can sister Mingyi tell me about the situation in the south? I have inquired with my father many times overtly and secretly these days, but he refuses to go into details. "

Mingyi's smile did not diminish and she continued to chat with her about what she had seen along the way. The two girls were interested in chatting, and they didn't ask any questions that couldn't be discussed. There was no hostility towards each other. Yuan Youniang was a gentle and obedient person, and she was also a sincere and kind person, so the conversation was quite congenial.

After the chat, Yuan Youniang had a sad look on her face.

Mingyi didn't ask, and Yuan Youniang didn't say anything. The two stayed in the small garden for two quarters of an hour before returning to the front yard where the girls played.

The girls have been playing for several rounds, and they are still enjoying themselves now.

"Sister Mingyi, I'm going to talk to my mother. Do you want to go?"

Mingyi didn't want to get together with the girls, so she nodded in agreement, "Just right, let's go together."

"Ok."

The two of them walked into the side hall. Yuan Youniang spoke to Mingyi and returned to her mother. Yuan Youniang's mother was seen gently comforting her and saying something, but Mingyi had no intention of listening. Just as she was about to walk towards the princess, she saw Zhou Ting standing at the door of the back hall waving to her.

Mingyi looked at the ladies in the side hall chatting together in twos and threes. Princess Zhou was no exception, surrounded by several ladies.

She tried to minimize her presence and walked towards Zhou Ting. As soon as she reached the door of the inner hall, her wrist was pulled and she was pulled into the inner hall.

Seeing Zhou Tingjun's smiling face and affection in his eyes, Mingyi raised his eyebrows.

"Chaosheng, aren't you entertaining the male guests? Why are you here?"

Zhou Ting took out a palm-sized oil paper bag from his sleeve and handed it to her as if it were a treasure, "Eat it quietly, I specially prepared it for you."

Mingyi opened it in confusion and saw that it was mutton. Her bright eyes were slightly bright, and she could tell she was happy even without looking at it.

"Roast lamb!"

Seeing her cheerful and bright smile, Zhou Ting narrowed his eyes; Ding Ding looked at her smile, and just looking at him made his heart jump for joy.

"Yes, eat quickly. Such a small bag can only barely fill your stomach. When the banquet is over, we will go back and eat enough, and we even brought back steak."

"Thank you Chaosheng, let's go find a place to eat."

He took the unrolled oil paper and wrapped it up again, grabbed Zhou Ting's wrist and left. The two of them found an empty rockery and sat down casually on a relatively clean stone. Mingyi opened the oil paper package again and didn't care. My hands are not clean anymore. Let’s eat a piece first.

Zhou Tingxiao looked at her and had no intention of reaching out.

Seeing this, Mingyi twisted a piece and brought it to his mouth, "You won't get sick if you eat it if you don't clean it. You can eat it too. You are much more tired than I am from entertaining the male guests. I have the princess as my host in the side hall. It's better than me." It’s much easier for you.”

Second update is in place, good night~~~
