The next morning.

Doctor Yao secretly sent Ji Chongning the Baibian wine he brewed himself.

As promised, Chen Dongyue gave Ji Chongning two baskets of fruits that had just been picked from the mountain.

She told Ji Chongning to take it back and not to give it to the elderly at home.

Because the fruits on the mountain are so sour that they make your teeth ache.

Chen Dongyue was afraid that if he made the old man's teeth sore again, he might be taken to the capital and beheaded.

Ji Chongning, who was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, thanked Chen Dongyue for her kindness, and went to Prince Kang's mansion with two baskets of fruits and three big pumpkins.

Although he bought all of Chen Dongyue's pumpkins, he really couldn't take so many away.

So this time when he returned to the capital, Ji Chongning only brought three pumpkins, saying that he wanted to give them to his great-grandmother to taste.

He said that as for the rest of the fruits that were still in the fields and had not been picked, he would donate them to Ci'an Hall as a good deed.

Song Haopo, who had already accepted Chen Dongyue's wave of pumpkin attacks, actually wanted to refuse.

But since Ci'an Tang is a non-profit organization that relies on the kindness of wealthy people to survive, she can't be picky.

So she could only smile awkwardly and accept Ji Chongning's kindness.

"Let's go. Take care of yourself." Ji Chongning stuck his head out of the carriage and said softly to Chen Dongyue.

Chen Dongyue, who was standing beside the carriage, waved at him and said, "Let's go, and have a safe journey."

Ji Chongning wanted to say something else.

But Geng Hui, who was driving the carriage, had already raised his whip and walked away.

Soon, the carriage disappeared at the end of the road.

The people who came to see Ji Chongning off gradually dispersed.

Only Chen Dongyue and Doctor Yao were left at the door.

Suddenly, Chen Dongyue said, "Doctor Yao, are you reluctant to part with Master Wen?"

"Ah!" Doctor Yao covered his mouth, stared with surprise on his face.

"What's wrong?" Chen Dongyue smiled sinisterly: "Did I say something wrong?"

"You, how did you know?" Doctor Yao looked around like a thief, "Did Master Wen tell you?"

"Yes," Chen Dongyue nodded and said, "Whatever he told you, he told me, so naturally... I know everything."

"......Dongyue, listen to my explanation." Doctor Yao came close to Chen Dongyue and whispered, "We didn't mean to hide these things from you.

It was really because Jun Lan's identity was a bit special. Think about it, the emperor had issued an order to execute the entire general's family, and the fact that Jun Lan was the youngest daughter of the general's family could not be mentioned to anyone.

It was a coincidence that Master Wen came this time. He happened to see the jade token on Jun Lan and learned that she was the youngest sister of the Crown Princess and his aunt.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even know about this.

Dongyue, please don't tell anyone about this~~~~Dongyue?!"

Chen Dongyue, who had been completely stunned, finally came to his senses and replied blankly, "Oh, I see."

"Just know it yourself. Although Jun Lan is your daughter in name, she is actually General Lin's only bloodline.

There is another thing, I... forget it, there is no point in talking about it now anyway, let's talk about it later.

By the way, before Ji Chongning left, he specifically asked me to ask you to talk to Prefect Meng about repairing our city wall.

And...what else?! I can't remember it for the moment, I'll tell you when I remember it someday."

After Doctor Yao finished speaking, he looked up at Chen Dongyue.

But Chen Dongyue just looked at the gate of the villa with empty eyes.

The whole person seemed as if his soul had left his body.

Doctor Yao waved his hand in front of Chen Dongyue, "Hey! Dongyue, have you been possessed by another spirit or something?"

"Ah? What?" Chen Dongyue looked at Doctor Yao in a daze.

Doctor Yao asked again: "Did you hear everything I said?"

"I heard it." Chen Dongyue answered obediently, which was rare.

"That's enough. I have to see a doctor soon, so I'm leaving now. I don't think the world will be peaceful this year. Remember to wait until the grain arrives and tell Hu Zhuangtou not to rush to sell it!"

After giving these instructions, Doctor Yao walked out onto the path.

At this time, Chen Dongyue said, "Wang Defa!"

She originally just wanted to trick Dr. Yao and see what secrets this old man had that she didn't know.

But who would have thought! ! ! !

He actually lied about Jun Lan's background.

What was even more unexpected to her was that... Ji Chongning was actually Jun Lan's nephew!!!

Ah, help.

Jun Lan calls himself mother.

Then wouldn't Ji Chongning have to call me...Aunt?!

Wang Defa! ! !

She is so awesome!

There was a grandson in his twenties out of nowhere~~~~

Alas, alas, the eldest grandson passed away early and didn’t have the chance to call her “grandma”.

What a pity, what a pity!!!

but.......

“Doctor Yao!” Chen Dongyue suddenly seemed to wake up from a dream and chased after him, “Doctor Yao, wait for me! What did you mean by repairing the city wall and delaying the sale of grain?!

What’s going on?! Please tell me clearly before you leave! ! Doctor Yao! ! ! Old man, I advise you not to run too fast! Doctor Yao! ! ! "

Chen Dongyue, shouting at the top of his lungs, finally stopped the old man at the gate of Ci'an Hall.

She was almost hoarse from shouting.

"Are we going to fight?" Chen Dongyue grabbed the strap of Doctor Yao's medicine box and stopped him from leaving.

"......No," Doctor Yao himself was not really sure, "but from what Master Wen said, maybe, maybe, the Emperor wants to appoint a crown prince, but...it's still uncertain who will be able to rule the East Palace.

So Master Wen is afraid that the world will be in turmoil, food will be cut off, bandits will arise, etc., so he asked us to take precautions in advance."

"Oh, is that what Ji Chongning said?" Chen Dongyue asked.

Unexpectedly, Doctor Yao shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I just guessed it myself."

"......Let's go, let's go quickly." Chen Dongyue waved at Doctor Yao with a little annoyance.

Doctor Yao glanced at Chen Dongyue and muttered, "You were the one who told me to stop, and you were the one who told me to leave. Why are you so moody? Is your menstrual period coming......"

"Speaking of menstrual blood, Doctor Yao, please don't leave. Please..."

"I'm leaving first!!!"

Doctor Yao ran very fast.

He was afraid that he would run too slowly and be caught by Chen Dongyue again, so he demanded that her irregular menstruation be returned to her.

This woman is so scary!

.........

Three days later, Ji Chongning, Prince Kang and Princess Kang returned to the capital.

The prince and princess naturally moved into Prince Kang’s residence in the capital.

Everyone is curious.

What exactly is the birthday gift that King Kang brought this time?

That thing looked very big, but it was actually short and stocky, and it didn't look like Taishan stone or coral stone at all.

But because it was covered with oilcloth, passers-by had no way of knowing what it was.

Only the Empress Dowager was informed in advance by Ji Chongning that Prince Kang was going to give the Emperor a pumpkin this time.

"Nonsense." The Empress Dowager glared at Ji Chongning, "Even if you don't want the throne, you can't use a pumpkin to perfunctory the emperor."

"Great-grandmother, look!" After Ji Chongning finished speaking, Geng Hui brought people and carried in a pumpkin.

The Empress Dowager immediately stood up from the couch and said, "Oh my, this pumpkin has grown so big! It's as big as a round table.

I have never seen such a big pumpkin! Is this the pumpkin your uncle wants to give to the emperor?"

"No," Ji Chongning shook his head, "The pumpkin that the emperor's uncle wants to send is three or four times bigger than this one!"

"......This is incredible, this is incredible." The Empress Dowager walked around the pumpkin three times, "How many people will it take to eat this thing?!"

"Then let's try it?" Ji Chongning asked flatteringly.

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Okay, let's try."

three days later.

The old lady regretted it.

"I don't want to eat pumpkin anymore. I'll vomit if I eat more."

"There are still two~~~~哼~~~~not finished~~~~哼~~~~" Ji Chongning ate and ate at the same time.

"I will donate five stone of rice and two pumpkins. I will start distributing porridge outside the South Gate tomorrow. Pumpkin porridge! I will distribute porridge for three days. Don't close the stall until you have used up those pumpkins!!"

The old lady would rather cut her meat than eat this rotten pumpkin.

"Grandmother Huang really has a kind heart!"

Ji Chongning knelt down in front of the old lady on the spot.
