"Planting?"

Shen Jingli held the tea cup and scraped the tea lid along the rim of the cup, feeling strange.

The palace maid who was close to her said: "Yes, people in Chu Lingyao's courtyard also said that she asked the palace ladies to find wood, but there is no wood in the East Palace, so they still go to the craftsman to get it."

Shen Jingli didn't know whether to say that Chu Lingyao was playing tricks again or that it was weird.

The corners of her lips twitched, "The queen only grounded her for half a month, and didn't stop her from eating. Are you so afraid of starving to death?"

The palace maid replied: "Then what should we do, Princess? Let the palace maids poison all those vegetables?"

"It doesn't have to be."

Shen Jingli raised his hand to stop her and said, "The prince will not be able to go to her in the past half month. I will not cause any trouble or arouse the prince's suspicion."

The red candle fluttered in the wind, and the light and shadow cast continued to sway. Qiu Shuang's eyes were dazzled, and she stretched out her hand to rub her eyes.

Chu Lingyao stepped forward and closed the window and said, "Let's just copy here for today and continue tomorrow."

Qiu Shuang put down her pen, her forehead twitched, her legs were almost numb, "What are you doing in the courtyard?"

The knocking sound was carried to the inner room.

Chu Lingyao lay on the rocking chair, supporting her head, "I'm going to build you a house."

Qiu Shuang was confused, "What kind of house are you building for me?"

Chu Lingyao had a smile on her lips, "You'll know when the time comes."

During the following days of confinement, Chu Lingyao took care of vegetables and built a pig shed, and he was busy every day.

With their sleeves tied and hammers in hand, the nails were clanging into the wood. At first, the maids were cautious and afraid that Chu Lingyao would be tired and rush for work. Later, they found that they were almost exhausted and could not care about her.

Chu Lingyao was banned by the queen, and the prince was not allowed to visit her. Even if she made a loud bang, no one dared to set foot on her.

The wonderful Wanyan Pavilion was transformed into a construction site.

Qiu Shuang copied for her, and after finishing copying, Chu Lingyao pulled her up to work with her.

After the pig shed was built, the maids' thin arms all gained muscle mass.
Chu Lingyao has very few skills. He used to have money to hire people, but now he can only do it by himself temporarily. There is nothing about beauty, as long as it is practical!

The pig shed and the vegetable field are next to each other. The four simple wooden walls are stacked up. The doors and windows do not fall down. The roof is crooked, but it can keep out wind and rain. The interior is spacious and divided into several areas. There are feeding wooden boards in front. bag.

A pig shed is called a pig shed, but it doesn’t just raise pigs.

The half-month of confinement passed quickly. The queen's people came to Wanyan Pavilion to get the rice paper for copying. She handed over the copy Qiu Shuang had copied for her without blushing or heartbeat.

Qiu Shuang sincerely didn't want to help Chu Lingyao copy, but she was afraid that Chu Lingyao would dare to disobey the queen.

The first thing Chu Lingyao did when she came out was to go to the imperial hospital. She gave some herbs from the farmland to the imperial doctors and asked them to make ointments.

When the imperial doctor saw the herbs, he hissed, touched his white beard and asked, "May I ask the concubine, where do these herbs come from?"

Chu Lingyao: "I grew it myself."

"What?! You grew it yourself?"

The imperial doctor was shocked and disbelieving, as if he had heard wrongly.

There is only a few taels of weight in the palm of your hand, but it is not easy to get it even if you step on iron shoes.

The growth environment of these medicinal herbs is harsh. Insufficient rain and insufficient sun will cause them to die, and they all grow on cliffs.

How could this be grown by oneself?
The imperial doctor said: "The concubine must be joking with the old minister."

Chu Lingyuan was noncommittal.

She had not taken care of those acres of medicinal fields at all, leaving all the care to the experts she hired.

Judging from the reaction of the imperial doctor, it must be extremely difficult to get those precious herbs to sprout.

Fortunately, she discovered that her farmland space has its own nutrient function, the soil is more fertile, and it can handle the sun and rain, and it will be distributed according to different types.

Chu Lingyao wanted to avoid making mistakes when changing hands, so he waited for the ointment to be ready in Tai Hospital.When the imperial doctor handed Chu Lingyao the nail-like ointment, Chu Lingyao raised his eyebrows.

Although the herbs she gave were not many, it wasn't just that little, right?

Chu Lingyao raised his eyes and looked at the imperial doctor. He was calm and didn't feel guilty at all.

He dared to reach out among Chu Lingyao's herbs, proving that he was not afraid.

Even if the superiors knew about it, what if he stole the medicine to replenish the treasury for the royal family, and Chu Lingyao, a married princess, would only make people turn a blind eye.

Chu Lingyao didn't care, so he should keep a backup in Tai Hospital.

When Chu Lingyuan returned to the East Palace, he walked along the plum forest path and met Chu Qian again.

He walked with a limp, and there were a few bruises on his young face. He looked up and saw Chu Lingyao. His eyes were shocked at first and then complicated. He bit his lip and turned away.

Chu Lingyao didn't call him and went back to the East Palace as if nothing happened.

During dinner, the portions of meat dishes on the table were larger than usual.

After the people from the Dining Bureau found out that Xiao Mazi was the concubine of Chu, they secretly increased the portions of her meals, as if to express their concern for her.

Chu Lingyao always answered by finishing her meal.

There is no communication, but the connection seems to have never been broken.

While I was using my chopsticks, Xie Huaiyu came.

Just as it happened, Chu Lingyao was worried about how to find him.

Chu Lingyao saluted, and Xie Huaiyu said, "Have you been bored for the past half month?"

Chu Lingyuan smiled: "Plant some flowers and plants, do some handicrafts, and the days will pass."

The accompanying eunuch wanted to ask someone to pass the meal around, but the prince raised his hand to stop him and said, "No need to bother, that's all."

Xie Huaiyu didn't have dinner. After finishing his official duties, he came to Chu Lingyao's place.

There was light in his eyes, and the look he looked at Chu Lingyao didn't know whether it was the yearning he had not seen for a long time or the inexplicable pity.

After the meal, Chu Lingyao poured him tea diligently. It was a cool day today, but the autumn frost added to the charcoal fire.

Chu Lingyao smiled and stared at Xie Huaiyu silently.

Xie Huaiyu turned his head and his eyes met hers, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Chu Lingyao nodded, "Your Highness, I have a favor to ask of you."

"You said."

"I am not good at sociability"

Xie Huaiyu suddenly laughed softly, like water falling from a spring, "If you are not good at sociability, then how do you get along with the people in Dianshan Bureau? They even came to me to beg you to be given a lighter sentence."

Chu Ling was paused for a moment, and a warm feeling passed through her heart. The corners of her lips twitched, and she continued: "That's because grandma and the chefs took care of me, and I was also holding my pockmarked face at that time."

Xie Huaiyu said: "Then what do you want?"

Chu Lingyao nodded and lowered the curtain, "I always live in Wanyan Pavilion. I would like to raise some small animals in the courtyard to relieve my boredom."

Xie Huaiyu said nothing and frowned. A few days ago, a white cat scratched Li Fengyi's face. Shen Jingli issued an order prohibiting pets in the East Palace.

He agreed rashly, didn't he slap Shen Jingli in the face and give Li Fengyi an explanation?

Chu Lingyao saw that Xie Huaiyu didn't move, so she raised her eyes and saw through his concerns.

She had to explain it to him!Otherwise, how could she let out the pigs, ducks, chickens and rabbits!
Chu Lingyao evoked a bitter smile, "I know that Your Highness is in trouble, but I can assure Your Highness that the pets I keep will only stay in Wanyan Pavilion and will not be taken out. I have also done something to keep them." Cage, it’s rare for the sisters to come to my place even once, I just want to relieve my boredom.”
