Resourceful beauty

Chapter 255 The Great Victory
"She was able to know that His Highness and his party were about to return after a great victory before reporting to report. It can be seen that she has a means."

In the inner hall of Xuanyi Hall, Fang Ruxuan and Mu Mian were talking, and they were a little startled by the changes in Concubine Fang these days.

It doesn't matter if she is a mother, she is strong for the sake of the child, or she wants to take revenge on King Yong because of love and hatred. Fortunately, Concubine Fang is now willing to cooperate with the East Palace. Fang Ruxuan feels that this should be something to be thankful for.After all, in this lonely and deep palace, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

Counting on her fingers, Chu Yuan should be back in early November, and the two of them will be able to welcome the birth of the child together, Fang Ruxuan's mood is even better.

However, within a few days, Chu Yuan's report was presented to King Yao, and the return trip had to be postponed for another half a month.

"Have you inquired? What happened?"

Sending Zheng Ping out to ask about the situation outside, Fang Ruxuan was a little restless all morning, and when Zheng Ping came back, she asked eagerly.

"Returning to the master, His Highness said that a kind of crop that can be planted in winter has been found in the local area, and it is now the season for planting. Therefore, His Highness has found several experts in this field, and plans to try planting it in the dry area in the south. These crops. If they can be successful, starting next year, we will promote this kind of winter crops in the country, so the trip back will be postponed again."

Zheng Ping replied.

"Crops grown in winter?"

Talking to herself, Fang Ruxuan already understood Chu Yuan's thoughts.

No wonder, in the days before he left, he always stayed in the study until midnight, reading books on agriculture and water conservancy.

Chu Yuan's reading range is extensive, which Fang Ruxuan never imagined. He seems to read all kinds of books, and when he chats, he is very eloquent. It seems that nothing can stump him.But later, when I was in the capital of Dayuan, Kapok had been to the Proton Mansion several times. Sometimes, Chu Yuan met Kapok in the study, and when she came back, Kapok said that there were a lot of books in the study of the Proton Mansion.

Thinking about it now, Fang Ruxuan felt that Chu Yuan seemed to have started preparing for today, and all his efforts were not in vain.

"Has your majesty approved it?"

Fang Ruxuan asked.

Zheng Pingping nodded happily, "Your Majesty is very happy, and immediately summoned several adults from the Ministry of Industry, and asked them to send a few stewards who are familiar with agriculture to assist His Highness as soon as possible, so as to promote this matter as soon as possible."

If the trial planting of winter crops is really successful, it means that in the future, two crops can be planted in a year, and the annual output of crops in the households of people in various places can be doubled. , This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan stroking her stomach and wondering what she was thinking, Zheng Ping said softly: "Master, don't worry too much. Your Highness knows well, and will definitely come back before the little master is born."

Fang Ruxuan smiled, and asked Zheng Ping to go down to rest, while she began to think in her mind.

When he was in Jiangbei, King Qi devoted himself to this. For this reason, in Jiangbei King Qi's mansion, all the people who entered and exited for a period of time were experts who were good at planting.

Several test fields were developed, and several crops suitable for winter planting were planted. However, either they rotted in the ground during the severe winter, or the yield was too low during the spring harvest, which affected the spring plowing. Let it go.

Yao Country's climate is similar to that of Da Yuan. This time, Chu Yuan promoted winter planting, but he didn't know if it would be successful.

However, whether King Yao or the local people would understand his thoughts on serving the people, right?From this point of view, even if it fails, it is not without gain.

Thinking to herself, Fang Ruxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The room was quiet, Fang Ruxuan touched her belly gently, and said with a smile: "My good boy, don't be impatient, wait patiently with your mother for your father's return, okay?"

While speaking, the voice of the palace servants came from outside, saying that Hu Moyan and the others had come.

During the draft in August, after Hu Moyan and Lin Keer entered the East Palace, Xinlan and Luwu became more and more careful in their actions. After watching for a month, they saw that neither Hu Moyan nor Lin Keer went to bed, and they gradually became familiar with each other. However, Lin Keer and Xin Lan are the only ones who really got close.

Hu Moyan is an indifferent person, except for paying respects to Fang Ruxuan, most of the time he is bored in Qixia Palace reading books and painting, rarely going out, Lin Keer and the others went a few times, seeing Hu Moyan's indifferent appearance, gradually They all stopped thinking.

After a few days, Xinlan and Luwu became regular visitors to Chenxiang Pavilion. The three of them talked and laughed, and from time to time they would go to Shouchang Palace or Fengming Palace to say hello together, looking like sisters loving each other .

"The Crown Princess is about to give birth, and I don't know if His Highness will be back in time."

After saluting, they got up and sat down, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Ke'er sighed softly.

Hu Moyan's cold eyes slid across Lin Ke'er's face. Although she didn't say anything, Lin Ke'er blushed pretty, and said to Fang Ruxuan in an explanation-like way: "Princess, don't blame me for talking too much."

Fang Ruxuan smiled, and then asked Hu Moyan, "There is a horse farm over the imperial garden. When the side concubine is bored, she can go there to ride a horse. There are a few horses that His Highness collected from outside the palace that day. I heard that they are rare. The good horse. I heard His Highness said it, but I haven't seen it yet. If the side concubine is interested, you can go and see it."

Sure enough, Hu Moyan's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Can I still lie to you?"

Fang Ruxuan smiled, and then called Sang Ye, "When the concubine is free, take her to the Yuyuan racecourse to see the horses of His Highness, if you are interested, practice a few laps with the concubine."

After Fang Ruxuan finished speaking, Hu Moyan's face already had a look of eagerness, which made her who looked a little cold and arrogant finally a little lively.

Lu Wu curled her lips invisibly, then smiled and said: "The side concubine should be more careful, those horses were found by His Highness, who said he wanted to teach the Crown Princess how to ride a horse."

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had intentions, Hu Moyan was stunned for a moment, then stood up and bowed to Fang Ruxuan, "The princess is full of heart, Mo Yan is ashamed to accept it."

I was worried that she would stop thinking because of Lu Wu's words, but seeing her not only not avoiding, but accepting it with pleasure, Fang Ruxuan was puzzled, but she liked her honesty even more, so she immediately nodded with a smile nod.

On the side, Lin Ke'er asked in a soft voice: "I heard that in the hunting garden in the backyard, there is also a pair of tiger cubs that His Highness and the Crown Princess caught from the paddock that day, can I go and have a look?"

They were indeed tiger cubs that day, but after raising them for nearly a year, those two guys have become giants, so they can be more stable when Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan get close, and other people can hear them frantic and frenzied whenever they get close to the hunting garden The roar changed the expression of those who heard it.

Thinking of Lin Ke'er's delicate appearance, it would be troublesome if she turned around and frightened her for good or bad, Fang Ruxuan smiled and refused, "It's better for Lin Liangdi not to go see, last time a little palace maid sneaked in and was thrown by them. I roared a few times in front of the fence, and my legs were so frightened that my legs went limp."

Lin Ke'er was startled, lowered her head and said nothing, but the handkerchief in her hand had already revealed her discontented thoughts.

Knowing that she misunderstood what she meant, and felt that she treated Hu Moyan and her favorably, Fang Ruxuan didn't bother to explain, and after talking for a while, she sent them away.

Coming out of Xuanyi Hall, walking around the corridor and exiting the Moon Gate, the four of them parted ways.

Seeing Lin Keer's lonely expression, Xinlan and Luwu naturally followed her to the Chenxiang Pavilion. Along the way, they said countless words of comfort and comfort.

After entering the Chenxiang Pavilion, Lin Keer waved her hand to signal the maidservants to retreat, looked at Xinlan and Luwu sadly, and said, "Keer knows that he is not blessed, and cannot serve in front of His Highness and the Crown Princess. Sister, you don’t need to persuade me, I know it in my heart.”

Since entering the East Palace, I also knew that Xinlan and Luwu were sent by the Queen Mother Lou and Queen Zhou respectively. Although Lin Keer's status was higher than theirs, she always called "sister" every time she opened her mouth. The two became close.

Xinlan smiled, while Luwu had already opened her mouth and said, "Di Liang is too sad, how can I say that the identity of the side concubine is there, and it is not without reason that the crown princess treats her so favorably. However, in the future Well, it's hard to say, it all depends on whether His Highness likes it or not, but looking at the cold appearance of the side concubine, it probably doesn't please His Highness, so Liangdi can relax as much as possible."

Think about it too, which man would like a cold-faced beauty?
Lin Ke'er was secretly relieved, and at the same time, inquired about the prince's preferences from Xinlan and Luwu without any trace, and then sent the two away with satisfaction.

In the afternoon, when she learned that Hu Moyan had brought mulberry leaves to the Yuyuan Racecourse, Fang Ruxuan sighed to Ding Xiang, a little dumbfounded: "Looks like an ice beauty, she is cold to everyone, but when it comes to horses, she is very enthusiastic."

In the evening, Hu Moyan came back with a flushed face. When he came to Fang Ruxuan to thank him, he hesitated and asked Fang Ruxuan to give her the brown rouge horse.

Thinking that Chu Yuan gave it to her, it was considered as her own. Now that she was in Hu Moyan's eyes, it made her happier than rewarding her with gold, silver and jewelry, so Fang Ruxuan agreed.

Seeing Hu Moyan leaving happily, Fang Ruxuan felt more and more unable to see through her for a while.

For several days in a row, Fang Ruxuan paid attention to the outside affairs. When she learned that the winter plowing had started in the southern trial farm, the court was full of joyful expectations. Fang Ruxuan also hoped in her heart that this would come true.

In Fengming Palace, looking at King Yong with a dejected face, Queen Zhou said angrily: "When it comes to leading troops, you should be much better than the prince. How can you say that you have been in the military for so many years?" , What about now? What is the use of repenting like this if you hand over the credit you are about to get to others?"

"Mother, son..."

Sighing, King Yong was speechless, and his face became more ashamed.

Queen Zhou sighed helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, when you have time to turn around, talk to Marquis Zhongshan. I'm afraid it won't be so easy for the crown prince to come back this time."

Hearing this, King Yong suddenly raised his head.

Knowing what Queen Zhou must have arranged, King Yong was overjoyed, stood up and fell to the ground, "I have made my mother bother you."
