Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Although Xie Junyi had never been to the kitchen, he followed Meng Xiyue in at her request.

Meng Xiyue walked around the kitchen and finally set her sights on the chickens in the cage.

"My Lord, let's eat chicken."

"it is good."

As soon as Xie Junyi nodded in agreement, he saw Meng Xiyue looking at him with a strange look.

"Then please kill it, Your Majesty."

"it is good."

Xie Junyi took out the soft sword from his body and was about to stab the chicken in the cage.

"Your Highness, this is not the way to kill." Meng Xiyue hurriedly stopped him.

"Isn't it enough to just kill him? Why is there a specific way to die?"

"To kill a chicken, you need to use a kitchen knife, cut its neck, and then drain the blood."

Meng Xiyue had never killed a chicken before, but she knew this was the process.

She handed the cage to Xie Junyi, "Your Majesty, go outside and kill them."

Regardless of whether he understood or not, this important task was given to him.

After a while, Xie Junyi brought the killed chicken.

Looking at the chicken in his hand, which had even lost its feathers, he was puzzled and said, "You are too fast."

"Ahem..." Xie Junyi's face flashed with a bit of unnaturalness, "This book isn't difficult at all, just do it."

"Can the prince light a fire?"

"What's so difficult about that?" In the past, when he was on the march and fighting, he often made a fire to keep warm.

But even though I know how to make a fire, a campfire in the wild is still different from a fire in the kitchen.

In a moment, smoke billowed and Meng Xiyue was so frightened that she couldn't even open her eyes.

There was no choice but to chase the person away and let Qianxiang do it.

"It seems that this king is really useless to you."

After dinner, the two went for a walk by the lake.

Xie Junyi reflected on himself and realized that Meng Xiyue did not seek fame or wealth, and she had the ability to support herself. It seemed that he could not give her anything.

"Your Majesty, whether it is useful or not is not determined in this way. The two of us are together, and I am happy in my heart. That is also a kind of usefulness. Isn't Your Majesty the same to me?"

It seemed that Meng Xiyue could bring him nothing but trouble when she was by his side.

The two of them had nothing to ask for because they loved being together.

"My Lord, I have something for you."

"what?"

"Put your hand out." Meng Xiyue smiled like a flower, standing in the moonlight, like a fairy, making Xie Junyi lose his mind.

He stretched out his hand obediently, only to feel a chill on his ring finger. He looked down and saw a ring on his finger.

"Why is it on this finger?"

"This is called a couple's ring. I designed it specially for you. You see, we are a couple."

Meng Xiyue stretched out her hand, and an identical ring was also put on her hand.

"The ring finger is the finger closest to the heart and is the vein of love."

The pulse of love, hearing this confession, Xie Junyi was overjoyed, "This king will keep you in his heart and never abandon you."

"it is good."

Meng Xiyue lowered her head to hide the bitterness in her eyes, "Prince, I don't want to go back to the palace recently. Can I stay here for a few more days?"

"Sure, you can stay as long as you want. I'm not busy with official duties these days, so I'll stay here with you."

Xie Junyi held her in his arms, "It just so happens that Third Uncle wants to see you about his rice."

"Then let's go and have a look tomorrow."

It's so boring to live in this villa, it would be nice to follow the chief minister and farm.

The next day, when she came to Dashitian's villa, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the rice was growing well.

Although it is still in the seedling stage, the stems are very thick, the seedlings are tall and the leaves are green. With time, it will surely grow vigorously.

At this time, I saw Da Sitian, dressed like a farmer, squatting in the rice, and no one knew what he was doing.

"Third uncle."

After Xie Junyi called out, he stood up and was very happy to see Meng Xiyue.

He asked with full of pride.

"Girl, look, how are these rice plants growing?"

"Very good, there will definitely be a good harvest next year."

Although Meng Xiyue knew that this rice could not produce 1,000 kilograms per mu like modern rice, it was still more than enough to exceed the current rice production.

"I have been farming for my whole life, but this is the first time I have grown rice with such a high seedling success rate, and each one is strong and sturdy."

"I went out shopping a few days ago and got some seeds. I want you to help me see if you know how to plant them."

Da Sitian told Meng Xiyue the purpose of his invitation.

"Then let's take a look first. But don't hold your hopes too high, Dashitian. I really don't know much about growing crops."

If it was something common, she might know a little about it, but if it was something else, she might not know.

But when Dashitian took out the bag of seeds, her eyes lit up.

Some of them were seed-shaped, and she couldn't tell what plant they were from, but there was one thing among them that she recognized.

“It’s potatoes.”

It turns out that potatoes existed in this era.

"Girl, do you know this lump of soil? Do you know how to plant it?"

What puzzled Dashitian the most was this big lump, so he selected some other seeds and planted them like ordinary seeds to see if they could grow.

As long as there is nothing we can do about it, it doesn't look like a seed, and we can't just bury it in the ground.

"As for the potatoes, I remember they were cut into pieces first and then germinated."

Meng Xiyue remembered that she seemed to have seen this done in a video.

"Germination?" After growing rice seedlings, Dashitian roughly knew how to do it.

"I've been staying in the other courtyard these days, so I'll plant with Dashi Tian."

Meng Xiyue has never experienced real farm life, so this is a good opportunity to try it out.

"Well."

For the next half month, Meng Xiyue went to plant crops with Dasitian every day.

Thanks to their efforts, the potatoes have sprouted and were transplanted successfully.

Meng Xiyue was very happy thinking that she would be able to eat potatoes soon.

Xie Junyi seemed to have turned down a lot of official duties and stayed with her in the villa.

The two of them farmed, climbed mountains, and cooked together, just like a normal couple.

But the happy time is always short.

Xie Junyi said during dinner that day.

"It's time for this prince to return to the capital."

Meng Xiyue paused for a moment, and forced a smile, "It's time to go back. You are busy with official duties and can't stay here forever."

"Then do you want to go to the palace with me?"

"No, I haven't had enough fun yet, let's wait a few more days."

After she finished speaking, she could clearly feel Xie Junyi heaving a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to go back because he was afraid that I would block his way.

"Okay, you stay. Whenever you want to go back, I will send someone to pick you up."

"Ah."

Meng Xiyue groaned and tried hard to control her trembling hands.

After dinner, they both went to the yard to admire the moon, but neither of them spoke.

After an unknown amount of time, Meng Xiyue closed her eyes.

Xie Junyi reached out and touched her face, and said softly, "Wait for me."
