Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

I just don't know how Li Mengyue could hide it from the people in the prime minister's mansion. After all, in the capital, anyone can get an official position by stomping their feet, and the prime minister's mansion is also a powerful family.

Every master in the family has servants to serve him. As the former daughter of the prime minister, Li Mengyue will naturally not suffer any grievances in terms of food, clothing and shelter, and she will also have personal maids to serve her.

Under such circumstances, it was definitely not easy for Li Mengyue to hide the truth from everyone and learn medical skills and martial arts.

This also further proves that Li Mengyue's mental abilities are not low, no, it should be said that they are at the top level.

Even in a cannibalistic harem, Li Mengyue would probably be able to handle it with ease and live a comfortable life.

If he had a prince consort like this, he could take Li Mengyue with him when he went out. Not only would he not have to worry about being poisoned, he would also not have to worry about assassination. How wonderful that would be!

The key is that Li Mengyue has a stunning appearance. With his status, he has seen all kinds of beauties.

Not to mention anything else, the concubines in the palace are all beautiful, some are as passionate as fire, some are as gentle as water, some are as fresh as the wind, and some are as noble as frost.

Perhaps it was because he had seen too many beauties that he deeply realized how unique Li Mengyue was.

Now he was very glad that he did not go into a dead end and was obsessed with thinking about Li Mengyue's life experience.

Otherwise, he might really miss a good woman like Li Mengyue, and when Li Mengyue marries someone else, it will be too late for him to regret.

What bothered him was that Li Mengyue disliked him.

It seems that there is still a long way to go if you want to please a beautiful woman.

It doesn't matter, he has plenty of time.

Recently my cousin went to the south for disaster relief, and since he has nothing to do, he might as well live in Xinghua Village and enjoy the benefits of being close to the water.

Li Mengyue had no idea what Ji Jingyi was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely drive him away without hesitation to avoid attracting rumors.

While Li Mengyue and Ji Jingyi were silent, Li walked in.

"Master Ji, Yueyue, it's time to eat."

Seeing that Ji Jingyi was so persistent and insisted on staying for dinner, Li Mengyue did not say anything to chase him away.

She has a lot of things to do, so how can she waste her time on unimportant people and things?

When Li saw Ji Jingyi and thought of her daughter, she had some thoughts in her mind.

Therefore, the meal was very rich, including braised pork, clear chicken soup, garlic vegetables, mapo tofu, bean curd pancakes, and steamed rice with spiritual spring water.

Ji Jingyi sat down and was a little surprised to see the table full of delicious food.

He originally thought that there were only steamed corn bread, cold wild vegetables, wild vegetable soup or whole grain rice, but he never imagined that in such an obviously poor and backward village, he could eat such "luxurious" meals.

"Master Ji, these are all home-cooked meals. Try them quickly and see if they suit your taste."

"Aunt, you can just call me Jingyi."

"Okay, then I'll be bold and call you Jingyi."

"Ok."

When Li heard Ji Jingyi say this, she couldn't stop smiling and became more and more satisfied with Ji Jingyi.

"Hmm, Auntie, what kind of dish is this? It's not only soft and smooth, but also spicy and numbing."

Li looked at the dish Ji Jingyi mentioned and explained, "This is Mapo Tofu."

"Ma Po Tofu?"

Ji Jingyi has eaten countless delicacies from land and sea, and he often went to the imperial kitchen when he was a child.

After growing up, I couldn't stay in Beijing anymore, so I took Afeng to travel all over the country. I tasted many local foods, but I had never eaten Mapo Tofu.

Moreover, he had never seen Mapo Tofu in a restaurant in Qingshan Town, Wuning County.

Liu was very happy to see Ji Jingyi loved to eat.

To be honest, when she cooked this dish, she didn't know whether Ji Jingyi would like it or not.

After all, Mapo Tofu tastes both spicy and numbing. When my daughter made this dish for the first time, Li An, Mingyu, Minghao and Mingxuan took a bite and started eating quickly.

In a blink of an eye, the whole plate of Mapo Tofu was gone, and even the soup was poured into Minghao's bowl and eaten with rice.

Therefore, when she was thinking about what dish to prepare to entertain Ji Jingyi, the first thing she thought of was Mapo Tofu.

Seeing Ji Jingyi picking up his chopsticks one after another, Li said to her daughter who was eating in silence, "Yueyue, bring the mapo tofu to Jingyi. He can't reach it."

Li Mengyue rarely refuted what Li said, and this time was no exception.

Even though she was unhappy with Ji Jingyi, she didn't want to offend her mother, so she reached out and put the mapo tofu in front of Ji Jingyi.

Ji Jingyi was immediately flattered. Li Mengyue, who had always been cold to him, actually brought his favorite dishes to him personally.

"Thank you, Miss Li."

Ji Jingyi had good dining etiquette, but he did not follow the rule of not talking while eating.

Instead, he took the opportunity to chat with Liu, trying to make his presence felt in front of his future mother-in-law.

Ask my mother-in-law to say a few good words for me to Li Mengyue.

Li couldn't stop smiling when she heard Ji Jingyi praising her. She felt that this young man was good and was more than suitable for her daughter.

With Ji Jingyi's lively atmosphere, the atmosphere at the table was pretty good.

Li Mengyue saw that her mother was really happy, and her impression of Ji Jingyi improved a little.

It's not that I feel disgusted, but at least I don't have the thought of driving the person away.

After dinner, Ji Jingyi suggested leaving at an appropriate time, and Liu and Li Mengyue saw him off.

Li Mengyue went back to her room.

When the door was opened, the tiger cub came running over as usual.

Li Mengyue touched the tiger cub's head, took out the food she had prepared for it, and poured some spiritual spring water into the bowl.

The little tiger cub began to eat happily.

half a month later.

Not only Xinghua Village, but also the fields of the other six villages were irrigated with the help of water wheels and bamboo pipes.

The crops in the field are growing well and will be ready for harvest in about ten days.

When the villagers in the seven villages saw the rice growing well, they knew that even though there was a severe drought this year, it would still be a year of bumper harvest.

Of course, they all knew that without Li Mengyue, a reduction in production would be considered a good thing, as there was a high possibility that nothing would be harvested.

Under such circumstances, it seemed as if the villagers in the seven villages had been brainwashed and they admired Li Mengyue highly.

Nowadays, not only does Li Mengyue’s prestige in Xinghua Village exceed that of the village chief, but even the other six villages will unswervingly carry out what they say to Li Mengyue.

So much so that basically no one had any objection to what Li Mengyue had said before, about building a large reservoir and widening the river.

Even if there were some who disagreed, they were drowned out by the crowd.

People always go with the flow. Villagers who have opinions see that everyone else is doing it and don't want to be out of the group, so they follow suit.

Obviously, the results in the past half month are still very significant.

The section of the river from Xinghua Village to Zhoujia Village has been cleaned up and the river has been widened as planned.

We just want to widen the river by three meters. Twenty miles is not a short distance.

Even if all the people from the seven villages were put together to work day and night, it would still be a huge project and would take a long time.

But Li Mengyue plans to complete the river channel and start digging the reservoir before the cold winter comes.

But there is only one and a half months left before winter arrives.

Li Mengyue knew that in order to complete the plan as scheduled, in addition to getting more lightweight and labor-saving tools, she also needed people, a large number of talents.

Just when she was worrying about where to get so many people, an opportunity broke the current dilemma.

The entire Qingshan Town, even Wuning County, and Qingshan Prefecture have undergone earth-shaking changes as a result.

But before that, the locust plague that the villagers had been worried about finally broke out.
