Female-to-male: I live on farming

The man rested his elbows on the table, his fingers resting on his forehead. His posture looked comfortable and lazy, but Qin Ke felt that this man was more like a tiger taking a nap with its eyes squinted. Although he looked calm and harmless on the surface, as long as he opened his eyes, he would inevitably exude a heart-pounding aura.

And... Qin Ke looked at the person in front of him and always felt that something was wrong.

The next second, Lu Youqing, who was standing next to Qin Ke, suddenly bent her knees and saluted, with a respectful posture and a humble tone, "I, Cheng Youzhi, pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Lanxi's aura suddenly became dangerous, and murderous intent flashed across her.

Qin Ke, who was standing below, was stunned. He stood there and looked at his wife stupidly, then raised his head to look at the man sitting on the main seat, oh, no, it should be said that it was Her Royal Highness the Princess.

No wonder he felt she was a little too feminine when he saw her. It turned out she was a woman dressed as a man.

No, the point now is not about a woman dressing up as a man!!

And this person is actually Her Royal Highness the Princess! The legendary Her Royal Highness the Princess who is so beautiful and unparalleled in the world with her military and literary skills!

Just as he was standing there in a daze, Lu Youqing, who was kneeling, quietly tugged at the hem of his clothes, turned her head and winked at him.

Qin Ke, who reacted quickly, bowed and saluted.

Her Royal Highness the Princess only raised her eyebrows slightly, with her facial expression unchanged. She stared at Lu Youqing quietly for a long time. Her eyes seemed gentle, but they seemed to contain a breathtaking majesty, making people feel as if they had nowhere to hide under her gaze.

"When Her Royal Highness the Princess defeated the Turks and returned to the court, I had the honor of seeing her face on the street."

The princess tapped the tabletop with her left hand, as if thinking for a while before she said, "Your name is Cheng Youzhi, and you are Cheng Li, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College?"

"It's my father." Lu Youqing kept her head down. She was not surprised that the eldest princess could guess her origins.

"Get up first."

Lu Youqing then stood up, and Qin Ke blinked and followed suit. He grew up in an era where everyone was equal, and in fact, he did not have a deep understanding of the ancient system of distinctions between the superior and the inferior.

Well, it was the first time that Qin Ke knew that his wife had another name, and it was thanks to the eldest princess that he knew this.

He had long guessed that his wife had some background, but for fear of touching upon her sad memories, he had never dared to ask.

The eldest princess raised her eyes to look at Gu Lanxi, and she guessed what she meant with just one look.

"Come with me first. I have something to ask you."

Qin Ke looked at Gu Lanxi, raised his finger and pointed at himself uncertainly.

Gu Lanxi didn't even glance at him and just walked out.

"Husband, you go first." Lu Youqing gave Qin Ke a reassuring look, indicating that he didn't need to worry.

Okay, Qin Ke pursed her lips, followed Gu Lanxi out obediently, and helped close the door.

Gu Lanxi was already sitting in the pavilion, holding the drawings that Qin Ke had drawn these days in his hands and looking at them.

"Is this the detailed design of your harvester?"

Qin Ke sat opposite her, nodded slightly, and introduced: "Yes, this is just the drawing of one of the parts, but I haven't finished it yet."

Gu Lanxi looked at him with some surprise at his posture. Most people were very reserved in front of her, and they acted and spoke carefully.

Gu Lanxi knew that it was because those people respected and feared her. But when the man in front of her faced her, he was unusually relaxed. She could see that there was no fear in his eyes when he looked at her.

It was like looking at a normal friend, he saw her as an equal.

Interesting! Gu Lanxi lowered her eyebrows and smiled, and found these two people more interesting.

"When can you make it?"

Qin Ke thought about it and felt that since he had already found a backer, why not hold on to this thigh, and this was a pretty strong thigh.

That was Her Royal Highness the Princess. Although he was not quite sure about her specific power in the court, based on his limited understanding, it was estimated that apart from a few people in the royal family, no one was more powerful than her.

With such a big shot, what else does he have to worry about? And judging from the tone and attitude of the lady, she is extremely respectful to the eldest princess.

"Well, the main problem is that I don't have suitable craftsmen, and I don't have trustworthy carpenters, so I have never dared to start work." Since Qin Ke decided to curry favor with someone, he naturally told all his current difficulties.

"So...you want me to send you a craftsman?" Gu Lanxi was surprised by his honesty.

"Well, you are in charge of so many people, it should be easier for you to find the right person than for me."

The people involved in making this kind of thing must be trustworthy, and the entire process must be kept secret. And how to operate and use it after it is made are all issues they need to consider.

Qin Ke just wanted to focus on production, and those things would naturally be taken care of by smart people.

Gu Lanxi appreciated his understanding of the current situation and said immediately, "In that case, I will send some craftsmen over. If you have any needs, just tell them when the time comes."

The two discussed the location of the factory for a while. Qin Ke couldn't help but sigh that the Gu family was indeed wealthy and powerful, and they didn't even blink an eye when it came to building a factory.

Seeing his eyes glance towards the main hall again, Gu Lanxi couldn't help but chuckle. She stared at him with a half-smile and asked, "Why, are you still afraid that your wife will be eaten?"

No matter how he listened, Qin Ke felt that there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"How could that be?" Qin Ke suddenly turned his head and said with a smile, "I'm just curious. If you send everyone out, aren't you afraid of danger?"

Gu Lanxi glanced at him with an idiotic look and said calmly, "You think there is no one because you can't see it? Also, is it you who are in danger? Believe it or not, you would have been beheaded before you even got close to me."

Qin Ke choked.

He was ignorant. As expected, such people would always be surrounded by someone who would protect them. They must be the so-called secret guards.

Qin Ke felt that time passed unusually slowly. He didn't even know how long the princess and his wife had been talking inside before the door was finally opened.

"Madam." Qin Ke hurriedly stood up and went to greet her.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. My husband grew up in the countryside and is not very familiar with etiquette."

"It is indeed as you said." The eldest princess glanced at Qin Ke with a smile. She knew it when she saw Qin Ke's awkward greeting, but she was not the kind of person who cared about these things.

"Take me to your melon field for a look."

"Your Highness, please."

After being apologized, Qin Ke had no choice but to follow them obediently, not daring to make any more trouble.

The maids they brought with them were quietly guarding outside the courtyard with calm faces, but Li Nanqiao and the others stood aside somewhat awkwardly.

He was obviously frightened by such a scene.

"Is this your melon field?" The eldest princess looked at the green ocean in front of her and her mood unconsciously relaxed.

"Yes, Your Highness," Qin Ke learned his lesson this time, pointing to the rice fields not far away and introducing: "That is the rice field I planted, and it will be harvested in another month."

"Oh?" The princess understood the meaning of the song and raised her lips slightly: "What's so special about the rice you grow?"

"Normally, the maximum yield of rice per mu is two dan, but I can grow up to six or seven dan per mu."

One dan is equal to ten dou, and one dan is equivalent to about 120 jin in modern times. The rice seed instructions given by the system indicate that one acre can produce jin, and Qin Ke did not make such an exaggeration.

This is a rather astonishing number. Even someone as knowledgeable as the eldest princess was surprised by such a number, and there was a bit of scrutiny in her eyes when she looked at Qin Ke.
