After Han Fengli left Prince Jing's mansion, he and his two personal guards arrived at a courtyard in the eastern suburbs. This was the courtyard where Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao had placed their food last night.

This courtyard was owned by a fifth-rank official in Kyoto. The courtyard was so ingeniously designed that if one did not observe carefully, one would not be able to find its back door, which led to a small river. No one could have imagined that this small river could lead to the Cang River, ten miles away.

The Cang River can directly reach Ningqing City. Starting from the official road of Ningqing City, it takes two days to reach the capital of Nanjun Prefecture. If you take a carriage from Kyoto to Nanjun Prefecture via the official road, it takes eleven days, but if you take this waterway, it only takes seven days to arrive.

When Han Fengli arrived at the villa, all the food had been loaded onto two ships parked at the back door.

"Prince Han, the food has been loaded."

"Departure."

In this dark and quiet night, two large ships sailed towards the distance under the cover of darkness.

……

The night passed and dawn came, and a new bustling day in Kyoto began.

Today, the Fifth Prince Chu Chenye and the Minister of Revenue Xiang Yimu are going to deliver grain to Nanjun Prefecture. After the morning court session, the Crown Prince, Prince Jing, the Sixth Prince, the Minister of Revenue and other officials came to the East City Gate to send the grain team away.

This time, the first batch of grain was delivered, with 40,000 shi, transported by more than 50 horse-drawn carriages. The grain carts were neatly lined up outside the city gate ready to set off. The guards escorting the grain were also ready.

The convoy had to go to Xijing Wharf, 20 miles away, change boats and take the water route, along the Cang River all the way to Ningqing City. This would take a total of seven days.

Chu Chenye glanced at the prince and Chu Chenjing, nodded, and ordered "Set off!" Chu Chenjing sent some secret guards to follow secretly.

The convoy set off in a mighty procession...

If you observe carefully, you will find that there are several groups of people around the city gate who are closely watching the grain transport convoy. After the convoy leaves, these people fly back and report to their masters.

Ouyang Yunyao of Yunqing Courtyard in Prince Jing's Mansion had a good sleep. She had thought that she would go to Yinyu Villa to have a look since she had nothing to do today, but she didn't expect that the housekeeper came to her just after breakfast and said, "Princess, these are the account books for this month."

Ouyang Yunyao took the account book and flipped through it. Seeing that the account was very clear, she said, "I remember the account well. Is the accountant new here?"

"Yes, it is from the old shop."

Ouyang Yunyao remembered that Chu Chenjing had given her the management of several shops and a farm.

"Butler Li, you have done a good job. Just look at these. If you have any questions, please tell me. I don't need to look at this account book often, but I will check it from time to time."

"Yes, I will resign, old slave."

At this moment, Ouyang Yunyao was not in a hurry to go out. She sat in a chair and thought about things. She remembered that she saw a lot of food in the space last night. If there was nothing else tonight, she would go to deliver some to the people in Xia Nan Street. Thinking of this, she shouted "An Liu!"

"Princess" An Liu appeared.

Ouyang Yunyao took out three thousand taels of silver notes from her bosom, that is, from the space, and handed them to him, saying, "You and Fei'er go to Li's Blacksmith Shop on South Street to have a look. The pot and spoon should have been made. Then pay the rest of the silver, and I will exchange the rest for small change and copper coins."

"Yes, princess."

Ouyang Yunyao felt that rescuing them was not a solution for the time being. Most of them were poor not because they were lazy, but because many of them had no land to farm and nothing to do. Most of them had fled here in the past.

Yinyu Villa is very large and has a lot of land. Most of the refugees who were arranged to learn how to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes will leave when the disaster is over. Then we can rent this land cheaply to the people in Xianan Street to grow crops. We can also guide them to build some greenhouses for fruits and vegetables, and grow watermelons, cucumbers, grapes, tomatoes, etc., which will definitely sell for a good price in this alien world...

Ouyang Yunyao was lost in thought when Xiao Cui walked in. "Princess, Madam Shi wants to see you."

"Mrs. Shi?" Ouyang Yunyao really didn't react to who this person was.

"It's in the backyard."

"Oh, the backyard." Ouyang Yunyao finally remembered that there seemed to be two women in the backyard. She had thought that she could find an opportunity to divorce and leave after a year. As long as these people didn't provoke her, she would have nothing to do with them.

"What does she want?"

"I don't know. I sent her away and told her that the princess was resting, but she still refused to leave and said she had to wait for you."

"Oh? Let's meet then."

After a while, a woman in pink came in, followed by a maid carrying a food box. "I pay my respects to the princess." "I pay my respects to the princess."

"Forget it. What do you want from me?"

"Princess, I was ignorant before and offended you. Please don't blame me."

Ouyang Yunyao: Huh? What's going on today? This woman has never made a fuss, but has always been following Yu Manyue to add insult to injury. Now that she has seen Yu Manyue's fate, she wants to come and improve her relationship with me? This is really unnecessary, and I won't stay here forever. If Chu Chenjing's white moonlight comes back, I will give up my position immediately.

Chu Chenjing: I am wronged. I really don't have Bai Yueguang. Ouyang Yunyao, you can't always wrongly accuse me. Don't push me away.

"Before? I don't even remember. As long as you don't bother me, everything will be fine!"

"My Lady Princess, are you unwilling to forgive me?"

"It doesn't matter whether you forgive me or not. If you don't have anything to do, you don't need to come to me, and you don't need to greet me."

"Princess, Princess..." Her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry.

"Don't do this in front of me. If you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can go and talk to Prince Jing." Ouyang Yunyao was too lazy to deal with her.

"Then I will not bother you, Princess. I just made some cakes as an apology to you."

She took out a plate of cakes from the food box carried by the maid behind her and placed it on the table. "My Lady Princess, this is what I made myself. Please try it. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, she turned around and walked out with her maid.

"Princess, the sun is rising from the west. How can she be kind?" Xiao Cui looked at the plate of cakes carefully and asked, "I don't know if there is anything wrong with the cakes?"

"No hurry, leave it alone, I'll take a look."

Ouyang Yunyao wondered why someone sent something here out of the blue. Was there any purpose? She was really puzzled.

Before he could finish his words, Wei Lei rushed in from outside and said, "Princess, this cake cannot be eaten."

"Well, what's going on?"

"Princess, An Shi, who is in charge of monitoring Madam Shi, reported that her maid had contact with Princess Ningyang's maid yesterday, and that maid gave her a package."

"No wonder, if someone shows affection for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief! But I don't understand, is there anyone so stupid as her?"

Ouyang Yunyao picked up a piece of cake and looked at it from left to right, sniffed it again and again, it's not poisonous! A fragrance wafted over, not good!

"You two, hurry up and get out." Xiao Cui didn't care about running, and stepped forward to grab Ouyang Yunyao's sleeve. "Quick, Princess, you should come out too."
