Female-to-male: I live on farming

After arranging all matters related to spring plowing, Jinyang turned his gaze to Lu Youqing and sighed, "I am personally in charge of Cangwu City, and I have suppressed it by force. Now everything is under my control. The only exception is Xihai County in Liangzhou. Over the years, the county magistrates sent by the court either resigned or died in an accident. In the past two years, no new county magistrate has been appointed."

Lu Youqing knew that Xihai County was the southernmost county in Liangzhou.

"Your Highness wants me to come over?"

"There are many Yi peoples in the Xihai area, and they have their own unique culture and traditions. In this context, the local villagers are under the strict control of the gentry, and the orders issued by the government office are difficult to be effectively implemented. Whether it is the implementation of new policies or the resolution of social problems, there are many obstacles." Jinyang explained the difficulties of Xihai County to Lu Youqing, then looked at her deeply and said in a deep voice: "I do intend to send you to Xihai County to take it into my pocket. I want the huge city of Liangzhou to fall under my control."

Her ink-clear peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a determination to win.

Lu Youqing did not hesitate, he stood up, bowed with both hands and said: "I am willing to serve your Highness."

"Once you arrive at the West Sea, you can act boldly. I will dispatch the Royal Guards to obey your orders and take over the West Sea as soon as possible."

This sentence was very weighty, implying that Lu Youqing could use any means to eliminate the interests of the gentry in Xihai County, even by using force. However, using force was the worst option, as she wanted to be an official, not a bandit leader.

Qin Ke straightened his back as he listened to their discussion, and suddenly realized: he and his wife were going to live apart!

He had just arrived in Cangwu City and hadn't even warmed up yet when his wife had to go on a business trip and he would become a left-behind family member.

They discussed until the night fell, and finally they arranged everything. Jinyang naturally invited them to have dinner together. This was not the capital, and Jinyang was not someone who liked to show off. The people here were all those who resolutely chose to follow her when she was weak, so she naturally would not regard them as ordinary subordinates.

"I heard that you invented a way to eat hot pot. I have never had the chance to try it. Why don't we try it together today?" Jinyang took Gu Lanxi's hand and walked into the banquet hall.

"I have heard of this thing in the capital, but I heard that it is very expensive and I have never had the chance to taste it. Today, I am grateful to Your Highness." Xiao Anyi's expression, which had been cold and resolute, relaxed a lot.

Qin Ke had previously sold the hot pot recipe to Caiyue Tower, so the chef brought by the Gu family would naturally be able to make hot pot.

The servants in the Princess's Mansion were prudent and smart in their work. After they had washed their hands, the maid had already brought the prepared soup base to the table.

Qin Ke took a look and found that they were basically the hot pot ingredients he often used at home, but the copper pot used was much smaller and more delicate, suitable for one or two people.

There were three copper pots on the dining table. The eldest princess and Gu Lanxi naturally shared one, while Xiao Anyi used one for himself.

The servants in the kitchen had already asked them what kind of soup base they used. Xiao Anyi was extremely curious about the chili peppers that had just appeared in Dayan Dynasty, so he ordered a spicy hot pot to try.

Qin Ke ordered bone soup, just like the eldest princess.

The soup in the copper pot is boiling and steam is rising.

Tender meat slices, fish balls, fresh vegetables, delicious mountain delicacies, tofu, etc. Xiao Anyi boiled them in the pot for a while, and when the ingredients were cooked, he dipped them in the prepared sauce and put them in his mouth. His mouth was immediately filled with fragrance, and his eyes lit up.

When Qin Ke was thinking about living apart from Lu Youqing, she didn't have much appetite.

Gu Lanxi looked at him with a slight tilt of her eyes, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. After those people finished their dinner and stood up to say goodbye and leave, she gently leaned her head on Jinyang's shoulder and chuckled in a low voice: "Look at you, you actually sent Lu Youqing to the West Sea. Qin Ke is full of resentment."

There was a hint of teasing and mockery in his tone.

"A seven-foot-tall man is too obsessed with love affairs." Jin Yang had sharp eyes, so how could he not notice the resentment in Qin Ke.

Gu Lanxi glanced over and said, "Isn't this what you like most about him?"

"There are too many magical qualities in him, making it really hard to figure out. Only people with obvious weaknesses can use him with confidence." Jin Yang, whose thoughts were guessed, smiled lightly and did not refute.

Qin Ke, who was regarded by Princess Jinyang as indulging in love, was indeed full of resentment. After returning home, she sat on the bed with puffed cheeks and stared at Lu Youqing with her eyes rolling.

Lu Youqing stretched out her green jade finger and poked his soft cheek, and said softly, "Are you angry that I didn't discuss it with you?"

"I am worried about you. From what the princess said, Xihai County is full of dangers. Many people have died there before. What if you are in danger too?"

Qin Ke is not such an ignorant person. Lu Youqing has the ability and freedom to pursue her career, and Qin Ke will never hinder her.

If it was separation, Qin Ke would naturally be reluctant to live apart from her, but he also knew that a certain distance between lovers could appropriately enhance their feelings.

"I know you're worried about me, but His Highness has assigned her guards to me. With them around, I'll be fine." Lu Youqing sat down next to him and said softly, "This is a test from His Highness. If I can't handle this, how can I live up to His Highness' trust in the future?"

"Then I will finish my work here as soon as possible, and then I will find time to visit you." Qin Ke felt that based on his wife's work style, once she was busy, she would be a typical workaholic, and then he would have to take the initiative to visit her to maintain their relationship.

"it is good."

Qin Ke sighed deeply. All industries in Liangzhou are waiting to be developed and people's lives are still difficult and hard. They have a heavy responsibility to revitalize this place.

After seeing the people here, Qin Ke also developed a sense of responsibility: he wants everyone to have enough food to eat, live a prosperous life, and live and work in peace and contentment.

He thought that Lu Youqing also had such ambitions, so he couldn't stop her.

However, while his wife is now coaxing him with sweetness and soft words, why doesn't he take this opportunity to seek more benefits for himself.

An Lushan's claws quietly climbed up Lu Youqing's waist. With skillful and deft movements, he easily untied the belt around her waist and reached in through the gap in her clothes.

Lu Youqing did feel a little apologetic, so she did not stop him and let him do what he wanted.

They were going to be separated soon, and she really couldn't bear to leave him.
