The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Chapter 66: The Melon Has Been Accomplished, and the Feeling Has Been Missed

It turns out that there are some things you can't eat randomly.

Hu Luanfei was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see Wen Ruoxue's disappointed expression, so he swallowed all the egg pancakes in a few bites.

As night fell, my stomach began to ache slightly. I felt nauseous until midnight, and my stomach was churning. I had to get out of bed several times to go to the bathroom.

The barefoot doctor in Taohua Village was far away and was a man. She didn't dare to go as her husband was not at home, so she endured it and lay on the edge of the bed until she fainted.

"Cough-cough-"

A slight cough was heard outside. Hu Luanfei, who couldn't sleep, pricked up his ears and became extremely alert.

There was a noise at the door and someone tried to open it with a key, but unfortunately there was another wooden lock on the inside of the door and it could not be opened from the outside.

"Who is it?" she asked weakly, then thought about it and slapped herself in regret.

The man is not at home. If the person outside is a criminal, won’t he suffer?

Fortunately, the man spoke up.

"it's me."

The familiar voice was like a reassuring talisman, and Hu Luanfei's whole body softened. When he came to his senses, he was shocked to find that he was covered in cold sweat.

She forced herself to get up and open the door. In the night, Qi Siriao's figure dropped from the sky and landed steadily in front of her.

So, the gate is really just a decoration.

"It's already three o'clock in the morning, why are you..." Noticing something was wrong, Qi Si Liao put his hand on her forehead, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Hu Luanfei nodded, "I ate something bad and got diarrhea."

"what did you eat?"

Hu Luanfei told everything that happened during the day.

He listened carefully to every word she said, but when these words were put together, they became an excellent anecdote.

To her, this was clearly a sad experience. However, in her ears, she could hear his low, muffled laughter, which was completely different from her own weak, aggrieved and uncomfortable mood.

Hu Luanfei bit her lower lip, tears in her eyes, and she was about to cry out loud the next moment.

"You also have times when your brain gets rusty." Qi Si Liao suppressed his smile and said seriously, "You are too kind-hearted. You knew that the food was not good for you, but you still cared about how disappointed others were. If you encounter such a situation next time, just refuse to go."

"Who would have thought that the aftereffects would be so strong." Hu Luan shed a tear, which bloomed on the back of Qi Siriao's hand with a "pop" sound.

"Don't cry, I'll go to the village to get you some medicine."

Looking up, his gaze rested on her cheek, like a pair of gentle hands, gently soothing her.

So warm and soft.

In the end, Hu Luanfei had even forgotten to breathe, and all his thoughts were on Qi Siliao.

In such a quiet night, he came back for a while and went out again. Not long after, he came back with a few bags of medicinal materials. During the whole process, he never considered whether he was tired.

While the medicine was boiling, he hurriedly washed up and went back to wait in front of the stove. In the glow of the fire, his brows were covered with a thick layer of traces, as if he had a lot on his mind.

"Your Highness, is there a problem at the canal? You've been gone for three days and just returned. You must be exhausted."

"Yes. The weather has been getting hot recently, and the workers have been losing body fluids and energy. They can't even get water. The project plan has been suspended. I'm wondering if we should wait until winter to start the project."

The summer in Menghu Mountain is already unbearable, and with the lack of fruits and drinks to relieve the heat, the body becomes unbearably hot and it becomes hard to work.

But the project cannot be stopped because of the weather, we have to find a solution.

An idea suddenly popped up in Hu Luanfei's mind. If we follow the modern work system...

"Your Majesty, how about we start working at Mao hour every day, rest from noon to Wei hour, and then stop working at You hour to eat and rest, and do the same the next day, work five days and rest one day, this way the project doesn't have to stop, and the workers can get a good rest."

Qi Si Liao suddenly opened his eyes wide, "I didn't expect this."

In fact, considering the issue of treatment, Hu Luanfei also prepared some things.

"There are always more solutions than problems. Besides, the melons in the vegetable garden are ripe. I'll ask Jiang Shi to go pick them tomorrow. You can take them and give them to the workers to cool down."

"What melon?"

"Watermelons, green stripes, round or oval, big, sweet and juicy, a perfect way to cool down in the summer."

Early the next morning, when Hu Luanfei was still asleep, Qi Siliao had already taken Jiang Shi to the vegetable garden.

Hu Luanfei has a good habit. She will write on a wooden board what is planted on each piece of land. She plans very well.

Following the clues, Qi Siliao found the watermelon field. There was no doubt that it was the magic weapon for relieving summer heat that she mentioned.

"My Lord, this melon is so sweet."

He was still thinking, but Jiang Shi had already opened one sitting next to him. The flesh was red and very sweet. Taking a bite was like seeing the person he loved for the first time.

The crops grown by Hu Luanfei all had good harvests, and the villagers passing by all looked at them sideways. They had noticed these things from the beginning, but had never seen them and rarely asked about them.

Now, seeing Qi Siriao picking them, he greeted from a distance, "Master Qi, is this edible?"

Qi Si Liao curled his lips, "Yes, it's very sweet." Then he gave one to each of them, "Take it back and let the children taste it."

"How can I take yours?"

"Neighbors, let's not talk about this, sometimes we still need everyone's help."

"In that case, we won't be polite."

"Ah."

As the saying goes, one who receives favors will be grateful and one who receives food will be soft-hearted. Even the most shameless person would know to help pick the melons and load them onto the carriage.

"Your Majesty, there are some over there. Do you need so many?" Jiang Shi chewed the melon, his mouth full of juice. "By the way, can I take a few and share them with the children in the village?"

Qi Si Liao held his forehead with his hand, "When has this king ever influenced your decision?"

"That being said, this isn't something I planted. If I take it without permission, won't you guys beat me to death?"

Jiang Shi is not very old. He was picked up by Qi Siriao on the battlefield when he was eighteen years old. Now he has grown into a grown man, about seventeen years old.

Seventeen…

For an ordinary family, he should get married and have children at the age of seventeen.

When this thought came to my mind, I suddenly realized that none of the brothers who followed me had started a family.

"Jiang Shi, you are not young anymore." He murmured.

Jiang Shi was puzzled, "I know, is the prince going to propose marriage to me?"

"Well, what kind of girl do you like? Do you have a target?"

"princess…"

As soon as the words came out, they were blocked by someone's big hand.

Qi Siliao warned her sternly, "The princess belongs to me, you can't have any desires."

In fact, what Jiang Shi wanted to say was, "The princess is good, and girls like that are fine."

But it seems I was misunderstood.

Faced with suppression, Jiang Shi could only hold the melon in both hands and nodded weakly.

Qi Siriao returned home and placed three or five watermelons in the corner of the side room. Hu Luanfei directly moved the steamer filled with steamed buns to his carriage, preparing for him to take it and distribute it to the workers.

"It's hot, you have to hurry over, or the buns will get smelly."

She is very hardworking and capable. Every time it is clearly his problem, it is she who solves it in the end.

"Luan Fei." He called affectionately.
