Female-to-male: I live on farming

The clothes of the two people were hanging on their bodies, and the parts where their skin touched were naked. Jinyang felt that this posture was a little inappropriate, so he maintained this posture and held her in his arms while she lay down carefully on the couch. He picked up the brocade quilt with cloud brocade and phoenix pattern beside her and covered them with it.

Gu Lanxi struggled slightly in her arms and turned around, with his back to her. The red in his eyes had not faded from his crying, and he refused to turn around to look at her.

This sulking look is really cute.

Jinyang tilted his head and looked at her cold profile, and coaxed her softly for a long time, but she remained silent.

The hand buried under the quilt had no choice but to reach out along her slender waist and hold her tightly in his arms again.

The other's body temperature continued to penetrate through the thin clothes, feeling the willow-like lightness of the back, the curvy body, and the slender and straight legs rubbing against her inconspicuously under the cover of the quilt. No matter how angry Gu Lanxi was, it was like a bubble, which was gently poked by her and dissipated.

What's more, what she was really angry about was not the person behind her, but those people who disregarded family ties and did whatever they wanted.

"Have you found out who did it?"

Although Gu Lanxi never turned around, his words were full of protection for her.

"No, it doesn't matter who it is. My good brothers or my father, they are all the same to me." Jinyang's dark and deep eyes were filled with a faint glow. She closed her eyes slightly, and the hot tide rolled over her heart, making her chest feel ironed and hot.

"Then are you still angry with me?" Jin Yang's jade-like cheek pressed against hers, his lips rubbing against her rosy and delicate earlobe. "We've been apart for a long time, don't you want to hug me?"

Want to?

Of course she did, but when Gu Lanxi thought about the first time she met her, she had countless scars on her body, was weak, and even had a pale face. It took her a long time to take good care of her. But just after leaving her, she fell into danger again.

Even though she hadn't said a single word to her in advance, she felt bitter, painful and angry in her heart.

"Were you saying those sweet words just now to coax me in advance?" Gu Lanxi still had a tense expression.

"…I miss you. I didn't lie." Jin Yang was silent for a moment, but he didn't deny his little thoughts. He promised sincerely, "I promise that I will never hide anything from you again in the future."

"Anything?" Gu Lanxi climbed down the other party's ladder.

Jinyang's eyes were filled with doting and tenderness.

"anything."

"Then I'll be on top for the next month."

"……it is good."

Gu Lanxi finally relaxed her cold expression, twisted her body with the force of the person behind her, and buried her head in her neck. With the warm and soft jade in his arms, Jinyang's lips finally curled up slightly, revealing a brilliant smile.

The next day, shortly after noon, the secretary came to report that Qin Ke and Lu Youqing came to pay a visit. Jinyang then ordered someone to take them to the meeting room in the front yard to wait.

Qin Ke looked around the Princess's Mansion silently. The main hall for meetings was spotlessly clean, the floor was polished very smoothly, and it was spacious and bright. Qin Ke estimated from the degree of wear and tear on the furniture that the Princess's Mansion was not built too long ago.

He and Lu Youqing had just sat down at the table when Xiao Anyi, wearing silver armor and with a sword hanging from his waist, strode in.

It seemed that the eldest princess had ordered someone to call her over. Qin Ke followed Lu Youqing and stood up, bowing slightly to her as a greeting.

The servants respectfully served tea to the few people.

Not long after, the eldest princess walked in hand in hand with Gu Lanxi. Today she was wearing a brocade dress made of golden fur, with the cuffs slightly tightened, giving her a dashing look.

"There are no outsiders today, so no need to be polite. Please take a seat." Jinyang sat upright in the main seat and nodded to the few people who bowed slightly.

His words already implied that he treated Qin Ke and Lu Youqing as his own people.

Lu Youqing heard some deep meaning in His Highness' words, and Xiao Anyi heard it even more so. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at the two of them.

"An Yi has already told me about what happened at the Black Stone Mountain Coal Mine yesterday, but I still need you to explain the details." Jinyang went straight to the point and set his sights on Qin Ke on his left.

Qin Ke was naturally well prepared. After he had tidied up and lay down on the bed last night, he clicked into the system mall and exchanged for the coal processing method. It not only included how to mine coal in the coal mine, how to process it into coal cakes, and even the design drawings of the matching furnaces.

"Your Highness, coal is a natural resource that was created through billions of years of geological action. It only needs a little processing to be made into coal briquettes for winter heating. It burns at a higher temperature than charcoal and lasts longer. Only a few pieces are needed to keep the fire burning all night long."

Jinyang's deep dark eyes slid over him and asked, "If you use this to smelt iron..."

Qin Ke seemed to have sensed her implication and continued, "If we use coal to forge iron tools, it will take less time and the efficiency will be much higher."

Xiao Anyi's eyebrows also moved.

"In that case, let's start mining this thing. An Yi, be careful not to leak the news. The workers involved in the mining must also be strictly screened."

Seeing this, Qin Ke suggested: "Your Highness, I will summarize the matters that need to be paid attention to during the mining process as soon as possible. Mining coal requires caution. Moreover, transporting coal is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is better to choose a place nearby as a factory to process coal."

"Leave this matter to me." Gu Lanxi, who was sitting next to Jinyang, suddenly spoke up.

Indeed, she should be familiar with such things.

Jin Yang turned his head and looked at her, then said softly, "Okay, you can just go to my private vault to get the money you need."

Unexpectedly, Gu Lanxi glared at her when she heard this.

She accompanied her to handle state affairs in the morning, but she knew that the people in Liangzhou had been struggling to make ends meet in recent years, taxes were difficult to collect, and the maintenance of the army depended on Jinyang's private treasury.

"No need."

Qin Ke and the others just watched their own business and didn't get involved in the couple's affairs.

Jinyang had finally managed to coax her last night, so naturally she would not refute her at this time. Moreover, she knew that this was Gu Lanxi's good intention, so she changed the subject and continued to say to Qin Ke: "Spring plowing is about to begin. The potatoes you brought before are kept in the warehouse. I appoint you as the Minister of Agriculture of Liangzhou. Part of my real estate, as well as the land I seized from the governor of Liangzhou, which is hundreds of acres, will be handed over to you. You have the final say on cultivating new varieties and planting them in the state."

"I hope you can live up to my trust."

Qin Ke hurriedly stood up and accepted the order. It was like he had just joined a large company, but his boss valued him very much and gave him a big project. Qin Ke was a little flattered.
