Farming and reading family

When Xu Boyan found out, the matter had already been done, and he went to Luo's house to see Luo Qing'er.

"Prince Bin is an idle king. He will never let you rely on him for revenge." Xu Boyan reminded, worried that Luo Qing'er had taken a wrong path.

By then, let alone revenge, even Prince Bin probably won't tolerate her.

"I need an identity." Luo Qing'er said firmly.

She didn't want to be a burden to Xu Boyan. The identity of Prince Bin's adopted sister was enough for her to come into contact with many powerful people. With gradual accumulation, she would be able to fight against the Tao family one day.

Xu Boyan didn't know what to say. This was something Luo Qing'er had done herself. "It's good that you have a good idea in your heart. Don't drag down the Chen family."

Luo Qing'er knew that Brother Boyan meant not to burden Sister Gao. "I know. After this incident, Brother Boyan will return to the capital, right?"

Xu Boyan did not answer when Luo Qing'er asked this.

He hasn't figured out what to do with Luo Qing'er yet.

Now he couldn't entrust Luo Qing'er to someone else's care, but the capital was a den of wolves and tigers, so he had to be cautious and was really worried that he couldn't take care of her.

"Brother Boyan, don't worry. I will take good care of myself." Luo Qing'er looked at Xu Boyan. "I can also be your comrade-in-arms."

Xu Boyan looked at Luo Qing'er.

Before, he always thought that Luo Qing'er was just eager to grow up and was actually still a child.

Now he had to admit that Luo Qing'er had grown up.

"Okay." Xu Boyan nodded.

When Gao E heard that Xu Boyan had arrived, she asked Lianxin to invite Xu Boyan over.

"What's going on?" Xu Boyan looked at Gao E placing a stack of portraits aside. "This is..."

"There are three copies of the portraits of those assassins." Gao E handed them to Xu Boyan.

Xu Boyan flipped through the pictures and asked, "You want to find someone through the portrait?"

"Those people wear night clothes during the day. Maybe someone really knows them. Why not give it a try?" Gao E suggested.

Xu Boyan had many people who wanted to assassinate the eldest princess. If they all came from the capital, it might attract other people's attention. There was a certain possibility that those people came from Qinzhou City.

"Okay." He accepted it directly. "I checked He County and found nothing unusual. There shouldn't be any assassins for the time being."

Gao E felt relieved when she heard Xu Boyan say this: "When will the people who will pick them up arrive?"

"Even if everything goes well, it will take about ten days." Xu Boyan calculated.

Gao E thought that as long as there were no assassins, dealing with it for about ten days wouldn't be a big deal: "Okay."

He has temporarily transferred the people from Ghost Crying Mountain here. Having those people guarding is better than having the villagers.

When the eldest princess first arrived, she was a little nervous and disliked the environment here. But she got used to it after living there for a few days. Although there might still be assassins, she lived a more leisurely life than in the princess mansion.

The dishes prepared by Gao E allowed her to eat an extra bowl of rice. If she continued like this, she would probably gain weight.

"Can we catch shrimps like this?" The eldest princess held up a bamboo pole.

"Yes." Princess Qingfeng was very sure.

In the past, she had to pretend to be stupid and could not do some things with Hanyue and the others. Now she has to do all those things again, and she won’t be able to do them when she returns to the capital.

"Don't talk, you're just a timid shrimp." Princess Qingfeng reminded.

The eldest princess looked at her daughter and laughed. It was rare to see her daughter so serious in the princess's mansion.

Soon the float of a bamboo pole moved, and Princess Qingfeng immediately pulled it up, catching a shrimp as long as a finger.

"Mom, look." Princess Qingfeng happily showed it to her mother.

Seeing her daughter like this, the eldest princess also laughed.

In the past, her daughter always called her mother in a very formal manner, it was just a name.

When she heard her daughter call her like this, she felt like a mother and daughter.

Gao E had been mainly responsible for the food and drink of the Princess and the others these days. It just so happened that there were a lot of vegetables to be processed during this season, whether it was making kimchi, pickled vegetables, drying and storing them, making sauces, or making pickled fish...

This year there are more varieties of vegetables than last year, and there are more ways to prepare them than last year, so as to avoid getting tired of eating the same thing all the time.

"I have tasted all the delicacies in the world, but how come I have never eaten the things you make?" The eldest princess saw Gao E asking someone to mix the pickled fish.

"Because the princess can't afford to have any accidents while eating, and these are just ordinary people making them just to have something to eat." Gao E picked up a piece of fermented bean curd from the jar and said, "Try it."

The eldest princess thought the thing was strange, but since Gao E dared to give it to her, it should be fine. So she picked up a little with chopsticks. The taste was delicate but the flavor was too strong.

"Not bad." The princess put down her chopsticks after just one taste.

"This is the tofu that is pickled after it grows hair." Gao E said with a smile.

The eldest princess widened her eyes and tried to spit out the food she had just eaten: "Gao E, you actually fed me something bad."

"Look, when the princess heard that tofu had hair, she thought it was bad and she would definitely not dare to eat it. But for ordinary people, they would not be willing to throw away a small piece of tofu, so this taste came about." Gao E explained.

The princess savored it for a moment and said, "It really doesn't taste bad."

"Some of the food that ordinary people can eat is made by risking their lives. How dare I give it to someone as noble as you?" Gao E closed the jar. "If Princess is interested, I can make you fermented bean curd and peanuts."

"There's such a trick?" The eldest princess had never heard of it.

"In the princess's view, it's just a way to find joy in suffering." Gao E nodded.

Gao E planted a lot of beans this year. In addition to making various bean products in winter, she also wanted to feed some to the horses at home.

In the evening, Gao E prepared a variety of tofu-based dishes for the princess. The princess was quite satisfied and said she would bring some back for the emperor to try.

Gao E hurriedly refused, saying that if the emperor found out about the food, her family would be beheaded.

That evening, people who had been working in the fields were on their way home when a group of people rushed to Batou Village. The people were so scared that they immediately ran back and blocked the road into the village.

Those people did not force their way in, but waited at the village entrance for those people to report.

"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law..." Chen Jie shouted before he even reached his second brother's house.

Gao E was drinking tea with the eldest princess. When she heard Chen Jie shouting, she turned her head and looked over.

"Many mighty soldiers came to the village entrance, and their horses were all wearing armor." Chen Jie gasped for breath, and he felt so suffocated after he finished speaking.

"I'll go and take a look." The eldest princess knew it was her palace soldiers.

Those men were indeed the princess's guards. As it was late, they camped outside the village so as not to disturb the villagers.

The princess met her own guards and came back to look for Gao E.

"Your people will escort me back to the capital. The conditions are the same as before." The eldest princess planned to go back in two groups.

Her palace soldiers took the person who impersonated her back via the official road, while she went back by water with Gao E's men, so as to ensure that there would be no accidents.

If the prince becomes desperate and sends more people to kill her, she may not be able to go back.

Gao E nodded: "But you have to follow my people's arrangements on the way."

The eldest princess was dissatisfied: "I paid for the gold."
