I get up early in the morning, carrying a hoe to the fields, my clothes wet with dew, and I am in high spirits.

The gentle breeze blows over the green seedlings, and the cuckoo's call urges farmers to work quickly.

Bending down just for the abundant autumn harvest, and sweating all year round for a good harvest.

The evening mist is heavy and my body is tired, but my heart is filled with endless joy.

Sow in spring and reap in autumn!

Physical exercise, learning books, practicing etiquette, and working are the daily lives of these children. It seems to be in an orderly manner and without any disturbances, but how can you know their interests if you are not one of them?

Whenever they have free time every day, they will run to their respective fields to take a look.

I worry about the growth of my crops: Is it dry? Is there too much water? Are there insects? Do I need to fertilize or weed?

Only by caring for them as carefully as if they were children can they understand the hard work of farmers and appreciate the preciousness of food.

Otherwise, when eating at school every day, I would only pick what I like to eat, and sometimes waste a lot of food. The village chief and the chef in the cafeteria would feel heartbroken and helpless looking at the leftovers.

It has been mentioned several times, and although there has been some improvement, the effect is not significant, so Qingning came up with this idea.

The naturally bred cotton has finally sprouted and is growing well, so it needs to be transplanted into the field before sunrise.

As early as two days ago, Xue Jingtang brought the Minister of Agriculture from the yamen to kill him.

Wu Sinong was so upset that he didn't see with his own eyes how cotton was bred.

Fortunately, Qingning had recorded all the cultivation methods, which slightly alleviated Wu Sinong's regret.

Not to mention them, Prince Fu hurried over with his tutor, princess and Si Tian, ​​for fear of missing this opportunity.

At dawn, the Chen family courtyard was crowded with people.

Qing Ning brought a few old men and carefully dug out the seedlings one by one and placed them in a basket.

The fields outside were lined with straw ropes the day before, and the crops were planted row by row along the lines.

"Don't dig too deep, just bury the roots and give the surrounding area a little pressure."

Qing Ning stared at their movements and kept reminding them.

"Be careful, hold the roots where the clay is, don't hold the stems with your hands, it will break easily."

"Each one should be about a foot apart, not too crowded or too far apart."

The seedlings grown are enough to cover three acres of land, which is not a small amount.

After planting, pile up the fermented fertilizer and apply some between two seedlings, so as not to burn the seedlings too close to the roots.

"Go get some water and water these three acres of land thoroughly."

Qingning gave orders and everyone went to the river to fetch water with buckets.

Prince Fu and others did not stand by and watch. They did not know how to transplant the compost, and they were not sure how to irrigate the land.

Once everything was ready, everyone had the mood to take a closer look at this precious thing.

"Are these cotton seedlings attractive to insects?"

Wu Sinong's worries were not ignorant. After spring, the weather was getting warmer, and when it got warmer, there were more insects.

"It's okay, but don't worry, just sprinkle some insect repellent on it."

"Will that potion harm the seedlings?"

Zhao Sitian from Prince Fu's Mansion asked.

"No, the dosage of the insect repellent is very specific. To be on the safe side, I will test it on other crops before using it."

"That's fine, that's fine."

In this way, they felt relieved, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty!

"Your Highness, I will stay here for the next few days until the cotton harvest. I beg for your permission."

"Okay, you can stay here."

With the permission of Prince Fu, Wu Sinong also made the same request to Xue Jingtang.

They had no objection. This was a big deal, so naturally they had to respond.

After finishing this important task, Prince Fu took the princess to the school to see the children and the progress of the school's construction.

After looking at this, he took the princess around and talked about the changes and novelties.

"To His Royal Highness Prince Fu and His Royal Highness Princess Fu."

I greeted the people coming towards me.

The two of them were quite friendly and said there was no need to be polite outside.

But the smile on his face didn't last for long. When Prince Fu saw Zhou Yuerong, his expression suddenly changed.

"Why are you here?"

Zhou Yuerong chuckled and said, "Your Highness Prince Fu, what you said is unreasonable. This is not Prince Fu's residence. You can come here but I can't."

It’s not surprising that Prince Fu reacted so strongly. They came in a hurry yesterday and stayed directly at Mr. Ma’s place. They were only concerned with cotton transplanting in the morning, so he really didn’t notice it.

"Why don't you go back to the county with your husband? Why are you staying here? There are no wild boars for you to hunt here."

"My husband has his own business, and as his wife, I can't always watch over him."

Zhou Yuerong paused and continued, "Besides, how do you know there are no wild boars here? There are still a few in the mountains. Your Highness Prince Fu, do you want to go and see them?"

Prince Fu stared at Zhou Yuerong, pursing his lips and feeling so angry that his teeth were itching.

Princess Fu came from the Zheng family of Xingyang, a prominent family, but she had not lived in the capital since she was a child, so she did not know much about them.

Although Zhou appeared respectful on the surface, there was something wrong with her tone.

Zhou Yuerong saw that Prince Fu was angry with her, and seeing that the princess was beside her, she could not continue, so she bowed and left.

Prince Fu stared at Zhou Yuerong's back, feeling extremely unhappy.

"Who is she, my lord?"

"She's a shrew. Stay away from her."

Prince Fu said bitterly that he must not let that woman lead his princess astray.

Seeing him like this, Princess Fu became even more curious.

After walking for a distance, she saw the nanny beside her come over quietly and pull her a few steps behind.

"That lady is the wife of the Ruyi County Magistrate, Zhou Yuerong, the legitimate daughter of Duke Zhou. She was granted the title of County Princess. The prince and she have been at odds since childhood."

Princess Fu was surprised when she heard this.

When the prince saw her, he looked so angry that he wanted to eat her. What kind of feud did these two have? Why did it come to this?

"Mammy, this countryside is so beautiful. Do you think we should stay here for a while?"

Although he asked this question to the nanny beside him, his eyes were looking at Prince Fu in front of him.

The nanny understood and said loudly, "I also think this place is nice. It has outstanding people, beautiful scenery, and clear water. The princess's insomnia has worsened recently, but she didn't expect to sleep well here yesterday. I think it must be good for her health."

Fu Wu, who was sulking in front, turned around when he heard the conversation between the master and servant behind him.

"That's right. You've always been a light sleeper, but yesterday was a rare sight. The scenery here is beautiful, and Mr. Ma is here. You might as well stay for a while and recuperate to deal with your condition."

Prince Fu loved his wife very much, and at this moment he had put Zhou Yuerong's matter behind him.

Upon hearing this, Princess Fu said happily, "Thank you very much, Your Highness. I'll trouble Concubine Yu to take care of the affairs in the palace."

Although Prince Fu was somewhat lacking in political affairs, he had excellent character and loved the princess. He only took one concubine and no others.

His emotions come and go quickly, and his main point is that one should not keep worries in his heart, and happiness will come when one is at peace with himself.

Then he happily showed the princess around. He was already very familiar with the place and could tell her a thing or two about it.
