Xia Yun looked calm on the surface, but he was ecstatic inside. Xia Qingqing couldn't help but chuckle. He is still a proud little brother.

Xia Yun's hands moved very quickly, but he still restrained himself. He only took a few bites of each dish with his chopsticks, strictly following the prince's dining rules.

When Xia Yun put down his bowl and chopsticks, the other three were still eating. When they saw what was happening over here, they turned around to look. Three pairs of eyes were staring at him, making him feel at a loss as to what to do.

Xia Qingqing asked with concern, "Second brother, are you full? You only ate a little?" He ate even less than she did.

Teenagers are at the age of growing up. If they eat so little, what if they are not as tall as her in the future?

Xia Yun nodded, "I'm full."

Xia Xuan just glanced at him lightly and continued eating. He used to be like Xia Yun, but he stopped doing that after having dinner with Xia Qingqing.

Xia Qingqing picked up some food and put it in Xia Yun's bowl. Xia Yun just frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

Xia Qingqing had a serious face and educated him like a little adult.

"Second brother, you are not a good boy. You will be punished for not eating well. You are growing up now, you can't just eat this little. You need to eat more to grow taller!"

As Xia Qingqing was talking, she picked up a few more dishes for Xia Yun and continued to educate him.

"These grains are grown by farmers with great effort, you can't waste them!"

Xia Yun was stunned by what he said and didn't react for a moment. In his understanding, he could only eat a few bites of a dish. He was taught since childhood not to let others see his preferences, otherwise he would be threatened.

He had also been like this since he was a child, and when he saw Xia Qingqing eating whatever she liked, he was really envious.

But the two are still different. She is a princess and is loved, while he is a prince and will eventually fight for the throne. It is very common for princes to fight with each other in all dynasties, and it is understandable for him to do so.

Except for Xia Qingqing, no one knew what he was thinking at the moment. Outsiders just saw him staring at the bowl in front of him in a daze.

"Your sister has already picked up some food for you, are you still going to eat?"

Xia Xuan's voice rang out, Xia Yun suddenly opened his eyes, and Xia Xuan continued speaking with a frown.

"Put aside all your rules here and do whatever is comfortable for you."

He is very satisfied with his second son. He does things according to the rules, but he is too rule-abiding and stubborn, which makes him feel helpless sometimes.

Xia Yun didn't quite understand what Xia Xuan meant until he saw Xia Xuan's slightly angry eyes. He unconsciously picked up the bowl and chopsticks. When Xia Xuan saw him pick up the bowl and chopsticks, his expression eased.

Xia Qingqing smiled and said, "Second brother, eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

Seeing that they continued to eat, Xia Yun also started to eat, gradually starting to forget the previous rules and taking a few more bites of his favorite dishes.

After the meal, everyone was full and satisfied. The palace maids cleared away the bowls and chopsticks, and they sat on the stone table to rest for a while.

"Nannan, how is the land you worked on?" Xia Xuan was still very concerned about Xia Qingqing's affairs.

When he heard about growing vegetables, he hadn't considered that the weather was not suitable for growing vegetables, but he just believed that Xia Qingqing could grow them.

Speaking of this, the remaining two people looked at her with curiosity.

"It's only been a few days. If it really grows, tell Daddy right away!"

Xia Xuan didn't have excessive expectations, but he was very happy to hear that he was Xia Qingqing's first choice and laughed a few times.

"Okay, okay, okay." He said okay several times in a row, which showed how happy he was.

However, Xia Qingqing and the Queen were already accustomed to Xia Xuan's reaction. Xia Yun had never seen his father laugh so heartily. Seeing his father like this, he was slightly stunned. It seemed that he had never seen his father laugh so happily in his memory.

Looking at Xia Qingqing who was also laughing happily beside him, the same feeling surged in his heart. Perhaps she was the only one who could make his father laugh so happily.

Xia Qingqing's eyes narrowed into a straight line when she smiled. Such a genuine smile must be rare in the palace.

Xia Qingqing's laughter was so contagious that even the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise a little.

The yellow leaves in the yard fell slowly, and the person at the stone table smiled widely.

Xia Qingqing was very comfortable during this period. The people from the Ministry of Households were always observing the vegetable seeds. As long as the seeds did not germinate, they did not dare to disturb Xia Qingqing.

Xia Qingqing gave Xia Xuan some spiritual spring water and took his pulse. Her pulse was indeed much better. This was good news. Although it couldn't cure the disease, drinking so much spiritual spring water could alleviate some of the pain.

The food in the granary is almost gone. Xia Qingqing went to the granary and found that the food in the space is piled up like a mountain.

Take advantage of this time to release several months' worth of supplies from the space, so that you don't have to come here until the New Year.

This way I can concentrate on studying greenhouse vegetable growing.

When she walked out of the granary, two sparrows flew in front of her. To outsiders, it seemed that the two sparrows were chirping and no one knew what they were saying, but Xia Qingqing could understand what they were saying.

These two little sparrows are the ones in the hunting ground. They just told Xia Qingqing that someone was secretly following her nearby.

Xia Qingqing asked Little Sparrow to see where the man was, and Little Sparrow told her that he was in the corner opposite the granary.

Xia Qingqing was shocked. If this matter was discovered by someone, the consequences would be disastrous, and even her father would not be able to save her.

It seems that the frequent disaster relief food has attracted some attention. It's all her fault for not having complete ideas and underestimating these people.

They must have been watching here for more than a day or two. It seems that this matter cannot be so blatant.

Xia Qingqing immediately returned to the imperial study with an unusually serious look on her face. Xia Xuan thought Xia Qingqing had been bullied and asked hurriedly.

"What happened to Nannan?"

Xia Qingqing told Xia Xuan that someone was eyeing the granary. Xia Xuan's eyes flashed with an imperceptible viciousness, but he concealed it very well, not wanting Xia Qingqing to be scared.

"Okay, Daddy knows about this matter. You can go back first and let Daddy handle this matter."

Xia Qingqing nodded, raised her leg and walked out happily.

After Xia Qingqing's figure completely disappeared, the gentleness on her face was suddenly filled with hostility.

"Li De! Get in here!"

Eunuch Li, who was guarding outside the door, heard the sound and hurried in, thinking, who is the blind person who has provoked the emperor again!
