Female-to-male: I live on farming

After realizing the value of Black Stone Mountain, Gu Lanxi did not delay any longer and ordered Xiao Anyi to set off immediately.

More than an hour later, they finally arrived at Cangwu City in Liangzhou. Qin Ke lifted the curtain of the car. No wonder people said that Liangzhou was hard. He had never been to the capital, but compared with Jinzhou alone, the overall environment of Liangzhou was much worse. As the main city of a state, the streets were deserted and the clothes worn by passers-by were tattered. Then the conditions in the lower counties must be even more difficult.

Before Qin Ke came here, Lu Youqing had briefly briefed him on the situation in the court, saying that the eldest princess had made many military achievements and was both civil and military, but was not liked by His Majesty.

Now Qin Ke had seen it with his own eyes. The late queen had only one daughter, the eldest princess who had guarded the frontier and driven out foreign enemies, but her fiefdom was in such a remote and backward place.

Although the current dynasty's territory is somewhat different from the historical map he learned in his previous life, Liangzhou is located in the south of Jinzhou. They traveled for more than half a month, and the climate became milder as they traveled.

Qin Ke couldn’t say anything else for now, but he knew that the warmer the place, the better the development of agriculture.

Their carriage followed Xiao Anyi and traveled on the street for about an incense stick of time before they finally saw the Princess's Mansion. This was the most magnificent building they had seen in Cangwu City, with red walls and blue bricks. The courtyard wall was more than 300 meters long and more than 2 meters high, with flying eaves and brackets, and a high gate and courtyard.

The guards standing outside the mansion saw their team and hurried inside to report the news to the princess. The carriage team also stopped about ten meters away from the princess's mansion.

Gu Lanxi was the first to jump off the carriage. The head of the Gu family, who always acted steadily and solemnly, now had a bit of disorder in his steps. Qin Ke and Lu Youqing also got off the carriage and followed him, but he made a gesture to Li Nanqiao and the others, asking them to stay behind.

As soon as I got closer, I saw the eldest princess had already arrived at the mansion gate. It seemed that she had heard the report from the servants and came immediately.

The eldest princess seemed thinner than the last time they met. She was wearing a moon-white brocade robe with an ink-colored edge and embroidered with a dark pattern of a flying phoenix. The white brocade robe fluttered as she walked. She stood tall at the gate of the mansion, with a towering plaque of the high gate behind her.

The dusty Gu Lanxi stopped and looked up at her. The two of them stared at each other from a distance, emotions surging in their eyes.

Lu Youqing pulled Qin Ke and stopped walking. Qin Ke muttered silently, "The two of them have been in a long-distance relationship for such a long time, shouldn't they hug each other first when they meet again after such a long separation?"

However, Qin Ke forgot that the ancients were much more restrained in expressing their emotions, not to mention the eldest princess who had never shown her emotions since childhood. Her deep eyes fixed on Gu Lanxi's gentle and beautiful face. After just a moment, she restrained her emotions and looked up at Qin Ke and the others.

"Your Highness, I, Xiao Anyi, pay my respects to you."

Seeing Xiao Anyi bowing, Lu Youqing pulled Qin Ke to salute the princess together.

"You all have been exhausted from the long journey. You should rest for a night first. I have arranged a residence for you. Please come to pay your respects after you have packed up." The eldest princess waved her hand, signaling Xiao Anyi to take them to the residence to rest.

The mansion that the princess arranged for Qin Ke and the others was not too far from the princess's residence. Qin Ke estimated that it would only take half an hour to walk there.

Although the courtyard is far less majestic than the Princess's Mansion, it is also exquisite and elegant. Entering the inner house, you will first see a spacious courtyard with corridors built around it, and a gravel path leading directly to the main hall.

Lei Zhonghan and others were arranged to live in the outer courtyard, Li Nanqiao and her mother temporarily lived in the east wing, and Qin Ke naturally lived in the main room with Lu Youqing.

……

On the other hand, Gu Lanxi naturally had to settle the people she brought with her first, but in fact she didn't have to worry too much, because many of the Gu family's properties had been transferred here earlier, and the Gu family also had its own house in Cangwu City.

Before she said anything about her luggage, the maid had already brought people to move it into the main courtyard of the princess's mansion. She glanced at Jinyang who was listening to Xiao Anyi's report, and thought to herself: He is a playboy.

Jin Yang, who had been keeping an eye on Gu Lanxi's movements, saw her bringing Qiu Tong into the mansion. He pursed his lips, lowered his eyes secretly, and stroked the white jade pendant on his waist, saying, "In that case, you should first send people to surround Black Stone Mountain and not allow anyone to approach. I will arrange the rest."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Jinyang raised his hand and patted Xiao Anyi's shoulder, then walked back with his hands behind his back.

Gu Lanxi, led by the secretary, entered the Princess's Mansion. The mansion was divided into the front hall and the back yard, separated by a high wall. A corridor connected the entire house. In the courtyard, there was a rockery waterfall, gurgling water, and green pines brushing against the eaves.

The Gu family is large and powerful, so although she traveled light this time, many daily necessities and valuables had been moved here before and are now safely placed in the master bedroom.

"Where is Lanxi?" As soon as Jinyang entered the main hall, he asked his personal maid.

"Madam is bathing in the warm pool."

Jinyang raised his eyebrows when he heard the name "Madam". As the personal maid of Princess Jinyang, Shishu has been with Her Highness since she was a child, so her vision is naturally extraordinary.

Now that we are no longer in the capital city which is rife with dangers, and there is no need to hide our identities, it is natural that we should address them as such.

Knowing that Gu Lanxi liked cleanliness, after traveling outside for many days, even if she rested in a hotel, it was very cold in winter and there was no condition to take a shower. Otherwise, she would catch a cold, which would not be worth it.

Jinyang guessed that now that she was here, she would probably take a long time to wash, so he asked the servant to prepare dinner, mostly dishes that Gu Lanxi liked.

Just as Jinyang expected, Gu Lanxi changed the hot water twice for her bath. The sun had already set when she finished her bath. When she came out after wiping her wet long hair, she saw Jinyang leaning on the couch, reading a book in his hand.

However, what Gu Lanxi did not notice was that she had not turned a page of the military book in her hand for a long time.

"Are you waiting for me?" Gu Lanxi had her long hair loose and was wearing comfortable pajamas after taking a bath.

Jinyang hummed, his dark and deep eyes never leaving her. When he saw her coming out, he simply threw down the military book he was reading halfway and stood up and said, "You must be hungry. I'll ask the secretary to serve you food."

She only needed to call out softly, and the servant standing guard outside the house would immediately order the servants to serve the meal.

Gu Lanxi took a look and found that most of the food on the table was what she liked. She curled the corners of her lips. She really hadn't had a comfortable and delicious meal for many days, so she sat down to eat.

Jinyang sat next to her, and didn't seem to be hungry. He mainly picked up food for her.

"Don't you want it?" Gu Lanxi swallowed the food she had brought over, staring at her all-too-familiar face, hidden in the candlelight, with a calm and unperturbed expression, and said, "Is this why you've lost so much weight?"

Hearing the tenderness and love in her words, Jinyang paused holding the chopsticks for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's just that I've just been busy with the affairs of the fiefdom. It will be fine slowly."
