After traveling through time, she still led the villagers to make money as a county magistrate

"But at that time I just treated him as a child, and there was no intention of gender between us. He always called me Sister Ranqing, followed me around, and helped me wash vegetables and rice. Although he basically made things worse, I was very happy at that time. It must be a happy thing to have a follower sticking around in this foreign world, isn't it?"

Gu Niannian, "What happened next? Did you go to the fiefdom with him?"

Mother Li shook her head. "No, I don't like places with too cold weather. The climate in Guanyi was still quite warm. If I go further north, my body won't be able to handle it..."

Gu Niannian said, "Then King Qi will go to his fiefdom alone. Don't you worry that he will not be able to adapt to the climate and eat?"

Mother Li, "What's the use of worrying? What's the use of not worrying? Our statuses are so different. There are people who take care of him, but I am just a floating duckweed. I will take root wherever I drift to. If I follow him, I will just be a cook in a different place. It's not as free and easy as living on my own."

Gu Niannian, "So you two parted ways and then met again?"

"Alas, just as you said, this child has been sick every other day since he arrived at his fiefdom, and he keeps clamoring for the fried chicken I made. Nanny Zhou, who has been watching him grow up, couldn't bear to see him go without eating every day, so she sent someone to look for me. I was reluctant at first, but the person who came knew I was soft-hearted, so she kept nagging me every day! She said the little prince was sick and refused to eat, and he didn't even have the strength to get out of bed."

Gu Niannian said with some disdain, "You are being soft-hearted now."

"Oh, how can I not go? I feel bad thinking about that pink and tender face I just nurtured sinking again." Mother Li pointed to her heart.

"It's funny, I got there and before I could even cook for the kid, I fell ill.

……

"Where am I?" Ye Ranqing stood up.

Prince Qi held a bowl of medicinal soup and said, "Sister Ranqing, you have caught a cold and have been sleeping for a day and a night. Come and drink this bowl of medicinal soup. Your headache will go away after drinking it. The medicine is bitter, but I brought sugar, so it won't be bitter after you drink it."

Ye Ranqing asked doubtfully, "You, aren't you sick and unable to get out of bed?"

"I did miss Sister Ranqing so much that I became ill, but now that Sister Ranqing is here, my illness will naturally heal." Qi Wang Song Zhixing stuck out his tongue.

"Hey kid, give me the medicine." Ye Ranqing drank the medicine in one gulp. It was a bit bitter, but it was nothing compared to the suffering he had endured over the years.

Song Zhixing handed over the candy in time

Ye Ranqing glanced at it and said disdainfully, "Only children eat this stuff."

"Sister Ranqing, if you don't like candy, then I won't eat it either." Song Zhixing threw the candy on the ground.

Ye Ranqing hurriedly got out of bed and picked up the candy, blew the dust off it, and rolled his eyes at Song Zhixing, "You kid, candy is very expensive. You really don't know how expensive food and firewood are if you don't manage the household."

He then wrapped the candy in paper and handed it to Song Zhixing, "Here, keep it for you. Don't throw food away casually. You should know that there are still many people in this world who can't even get enough food, let alone candy."

"I think you're alright. I'll go back after I recover tonight. The post station is waiting for me to go back and cook dinner."

"I have something to do. Look, I have no flesh on my face. I want to eat the fried chicken made by Sister Ranqing." Song Zhixing pinched his face, which had no flesh on it, and said, "I have something to do. I have no flesh on my face. I want to eat the fried chicken made by Sister Ranqing."

"What's so difficult about eating fried chicken? I'll teach the recipe to the cook in your house and ask her to make it for you every day," Ye Ranqing said helplessly.

Seeing that Sister Ranqing was determined to leave, Song Zhixing started to throw a tantrum, "They are not as delicious as Sister Ranqing's cooking. I don't care, I just want you to cook for me. If you...if you don't agree, I will not eat for three days and three nights and starve myself to death."

Ye Ranqing couldn't stand such a rogue and had to agree to stay for a few days.

Mother Li, "I just didn't expect that I would have to wait for two years."

"This child looks healthy, but he has a disease that he brought from the womb. He cannot drink too much alcohol. One or two drinks are fine, but if he drinks too much, he will not only become weak and powerless, but it will also cause secondary damage to his body."

"The north is famous for its good wine. It is common for officials to drink and recite poetry when they visit. As a prince, it is not easy for him to refuse every time."

"Indeed, although he is a prince, he came from the capital after all. In addition to the soldiers and followers he brought with him, it is inevitable for him to have good relations with the local aristocratic families." Ever since Gu Niannian became the local county magistrate, he understood that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.

Mother Li picked up the wick on the table and said, "Yes! Although he is not very old, only fifteen, he is old enough to get married and have children in this era. It makes sense for him not to go when someone invites him. Of course, he declined several times with various reasons. Later, as the number of times increased, the local big families no longer invited him, and of course they didn't take him out to play. It became increasingly difficult for him to do something for the people, so he went out of necessity."

"I saw Prince Qi drink quite a lot that night..." Gu Niannian asked doubtfully

Mother Li said, "That's because of the medicinal food I made. In order to make medicinal food for him, I quit my job at the post station and focused on taking care of his body. During that time, someone invited him to drink and have fun, so I dressed up as a man and went along to serve him..."

Gu Niannian, "Then how did you two become lovers? Was he the one who initiated it?"

Mother Li, "I once went to a banquet, and the other party claimed to be from the Fu family in the north..."

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this? You always ask someone to block your drinking for you, but you don't give us face." Fu Rong slammed the wine glass on the table.

Ye Ranqing quickly apologized with a smile, "My dear gentlemen, my master really can't hold his liquor, but I can't disturb your drinking mood..."

"How about this, I drink three cups of wine as punishment?" After saying that, Ye Ranqing gulped down three cups of wine.

Fu Rong, "How can a servant like you drink three cups of wine? You are not qualified to drink with us."

Ye Ranqing felt dizzy and had to support himself on the table with his hands to barely stand.

"What's wrong with you?" Song Zhixing stretched out his hand to support Ye Ranqing anxiously.

"There's something wrong with the wine... There's something wrong with the wine." Ye Ranqing uttered a few words with difficulty and then fell asleep.

"You are so brave! What did you put in the wine? Hand over the antidote immediately and I will spare your life."

Mother Li, "This is what I heard him say before I passed out. You know what, even though he's just a little kid, he speaks with quite a lot of authority."

"And then?" Gu Niannian asked impatiently

Li's mother: "Then..."

"What's going on? Why does my whole body hurt like it was run over by a car?" Ye Ranqing sat up from the bed with difficulty.

"Qing'er, you're awake," Song Zhixing, who was sitting beside the bed, said excitedly when he heard the noise.

"What's wrong with me?" Ye Ranqing rubbed his temples.

The maid Xiao Cui came in with a bowl of medicine, "Miss, you don't know that the villains gave you a poisonous drug, and it was our prince who saved you."

"What?" Ye Ranqing jumped off the bed excitedly

"I was drugged and you slept with me!"

Song Zhixing, "Qing'er, don't be excited, I will marry you, I... I have no choice."

After a moment, Ye Ranqing recovered and asked, "Have those thieves been executed on the spot?"

Song Zhixing, "Qing'er, don't worry, I have killed the man."

"What is their intention in doing this?" Ye Ranqing couldn't understand their intention in bewitching him. If you say that they like her, she is indeed very beautiful, but they didn't knock the prince unconscious and then attack her. Instead, they drugged her directly. How did they do that?

"These villains wanted to occupy the entire Qinghe County. Their original plan was to charm me and then call a married woman over. After I did something unbearable, they would make it public and I would become the target of public criticism. But they didn't expect that one sentence from them would actually make you drink three glasses of wine, including the one on my table."

"In the past, I would at least drink the first glass of wine as a token of respect. Now, the drug in your wine and the Lone Wolf drug in mine have both gone into your stomach. The doctor said that the most direct way is necessary to detoxify them." Song Zhixing explained with a blush on his face.
