The concubine pretends to be obedient, the sinister prince's favorite

But why... Why did she hide her talent and would rather be scolded as a loser than show her true strength?

The most important thing is... why did she stop hiding herself after marrying Li Jinyuan?

An inexplicable feeling of distress and depression spread from his chest. The man threw away his brush with a snap, his brows and eyes looking so gloomy that ink seemed to be dripping off.

Ji Qingwan was still unwilling to admit that Jiang Li could achieve such an achievement. Her lower lip had been bitten until it was bloodless. If it wasn't in the wrong place, she would have overturned everything on the table.

Her clenched fists were shaking, and she was almost going crazy from enduring it.

"Wan'er, it's getting late. I will send someone to take you back."

Ji Qingwan glanced sideways at the man, her red lips opened eagerly as if she wanted to say something.

But when she saw the impatience in his eyes, she swallowed it back.

"Yes……"

……

Changzhou cultivated land,

Jiang Li changed into a simple segmented dress. The top was a pink silk embroidered blouse. It didn't have the big sleeves of her usual dresses, making her look a lot more capable.

The skirt has an inner lining that covers the ankles, so you don't have to worry about exposing yourself even if you move a lot.

Her black hair was tied up in a simple bun, and she wore the same headscarf she wore at the Three Princes' Palace, revealing her smooth forehead and ears, looking very cute.

Li Youchuan couldn't help but stare at her and laugh. She looked much younger than him, but he still had to call her sister-in-law.

Jiang Li realized last night that this was not a simple puppy, so after glaring at him fiercely, she decided not to pay any more attention to him.

The boy was a little panicked. Weren't they the best in the world last night? Why did they ignore him today?

"Hey! Hey...Sister-in-law! Wait for me!"

"You promised to teach me how to catch rabbits today!"

The two ran past Li Jinyuan one after the other. The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt that his younger brother was more and more annoying...

……

In the dry fields, not only are the crops drying up and about to wither, but even the ground is cracked.

Li Youchuan put away the nonchalant smile on his face and raised his hand to support the rice ears that were about to fall.

"If it doesn't rain, these crops will be beyond saving..."

Jiang Li looked up at the sky. It was cloudless, with only dazzling sunlight, and no sign of rain.

Behind Prefect Song were two farmers. The three of them stood behind the girl, their faces also looking very sad.

This was the harvest of their year's hard work, and it was about to mature and be harvested, but then... this happened.

"It's not going to rain in this weather. God is so blind... He's just watching the people of Changzhou starve to death."

An older farmer couldn't help but beat his chest and stamp his feet, tears even welled up in his cloudy eyes.

Jiang Li pursed her lips, unable to bear this kind of scene. Her heart felt as if it was being torn apart by some force, and it felt heavy and tight.

"Don't worry, old man. I see the sky is getting darker, there's no wind and no clouds. Maybe it will really rain."

Jiang Li tried to make her tone firm. Even though she just wanted to trick the old man, she still really hoped that God would give her this face and let it rain...

Frequent rainstorms in Jiangzhou caused floods, while in Changzhou, not a single drop of rain fell at the same time.

Sometimes I really can't help but wonder if God really exists, and if he teases humans in the vivarium as easily as we play with ants...

"Princess Third... please stop comforting us. We're not asking for a heavy downpour to save our crops, but if it just rains a little to keep us from dying of thirst, we'll be grateful."

Another younger farmer smiled bitterly, as he could tell the girl was trying to comfort them.

Perhaps it was because of the long period of hunger and drought that he no longer believed in those intangible comforts.

Jiang Li swallowed and pretended to be calm.

"What if something happens? Don't be negative. Accidents are always a thing in this world."

"If there really is an accident, that would be great..."

The old man was old, and his speech was a little unclear. But Jiang Li could see that he still had hope in his eyes when he looked at the crops.

"There will be."

The girl murmured softly, not knowing whether she was responding to the old man or to strengthen herself.

……

"Got it! There's a nest of rabbits!"

Li Youchuan shouted loudly and returned to his unruly youthful appearance.

Jiang Li saw him running towards her quickly with a net bag in his hand from a distance. His speed made the girl open her eyes wide, fearing that he would bump into her.

Li Jinyuan's face also darkened. Before Li Youchuan could get close to him, he hugged Jiang Li tightly in his arms, scaring the young man so much that he started braking from a distance of four or five meters.

What a joke! He dared to guarantee that with the look in his third brother's eyes, he would be kicked out mercilessly the moment he approached the two of them.

"Look, sister-in-law! I caught another nest of rabbits using your method!"

Jiang Li lowered her eyes and saw four or five gray hares huddled together in the net bag.

"It's not too small... Not bad!"

Enough to make a whole dish!

Li Youchuan almost regarded Jiang Li as his idol at this time. His eyes were shining, even more eager than the look he had when he looked at his third brother.

"Imperial sister-in-law! How did you think of using smoke to smoke them out!?"

Jiang Li was stunned when she heard the voice, and for a moment she didn't know how to explain it.

"Well..."

In fact, she also learned this from watching documentaries in modern times. At that time, the protagonist was controlling mice in the fields. They also liked to dig holes, and there were many connections underground. The protagonist burned smoke in front of a hole, and when he saw smoke coming out of the other holes, he found something to block them.

In this way, the mice inside will be choked and will run out from the hole where the smoke is burning. At this time, you just need to prepare a net bag or cage at the hole to welcome them.

"How else could I have come up with this idea? Of course, it's because I'm incredibly clever... Okay, okay, go help them catch rabbits! I'll use them to make you something delicious tonight!"

“Hey…Hey!”

Li Youchuan was pushed away by Jiang Li. The boy turned around, his face full of curiosity and surprise.

"Can you eat these rabbits? They're so cute..."

"Go!"

The girl pushed him off the field with one force, and couldn't help rolling her eyes as she watched him stagger.

Why would a grown man play with her when the rabbit is so cute... If she makes it, he won’t eat it!

Just as Jiang Li was standing at the edge of the field with her hands on her hips, Li Jinyuan hugged her from behind again, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Jiang Li had become accustomed to this kind of sudden intimate behavior. She tilted her head slightly to try to see the expression on the man's face.
