The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Leap Moon woke up first, pouting as she ran to Jingxue's side and said, "Miss, the Emperor Emeritus took my flashlight."

“Isn’t the flashlight placed next to your sister Xiaoman’s pillow? That’s so it’s convenient for you and Yingying to get up at night,” Jingxue said.

"I put it in my bag. My uncle said he had a telescope, but we didn't. I was not convinced, so I took out my flashlight to show him. He said he had given me that flashlight and told me to ask Miss for another one."

Jingxue was speechless; the retired emperor could only live at this age.

Looking at Runyue's expression, Jingxue couldn't tell her too much yet. This child was straightforward and might blurt out something that would betray her.

"Alright, I'll give you another one later. Go check if Yingying is awake yet."

When Leap Moon heard that her mistress could give her more, her little face relaxed and she went to find Yingying.

During dinner, the Emperor Emeritus invited An'an and Jingze to eat at the same table. At the same time, the old man also announced that he would go to the estate to take a look the next day.

This decision was made after he woke up from his afternoon nap, and Ye Muchen had already sent people to prepare.

Actually, Jingxue also wanted to see how the crops were growing, but Jingze and An'an had to go to school, and she had to pick them up and drop them off.

"Girl, we'll go horseback riding tomorrow. We'll leave early and be back by the afternoon!" the Emperor Emeritus said, slurping up a mouthful of rice noodles.

“But my daughter-in-law still wants to see Xiaoze and the others off.”

"It's alright, I'll send Dark Armor and the others to pick you up. Haven't you always wanted to ride a horse? Gao Chi has already made arrangements!" Ye Muchen said.

Jingxue was surprised that Ye Muchen still remembered. "Alright then!" At worst, she would prepare some self-defense items for Jingze and An'an tonight.

When Runyue saw that her young mistress was going to the estate, she eagerly said, "Miss, why don't you take us with you too!"

Yingying chimed in, "Sister, Yingying wants to go too, otherwise Yingying will miss you!"

"Yingying, it's cold riding a horse!" Jingxue was worried that the two little girls would catch a cold.

"It's alright, I'll have the wet nurse dress us in more clothes," Runyue said.

"Oh dear! Go! Go! Let Jin Shisan and the others take them." The Emperor Emeritus raised his chopsticks.

The two girls happily started eating their rice upon hearing this.

The Emperor Emeritus had almost finished eating, put down his chopsticks, and then began to look at An'an and Jingze.

"These two kids look like brothers."

Jingxue suddenly remembered that her aunt, Madam Sun, had mentioned that afternoon that her uncle's name seemed to be Yizhi, Li Yizhi? No, her eldest uncle's name seemed to be Li Huan, and her youngest uncle's name shouldn't be three characters long; the ancients were very particular about this.

We should find out more if we have the chance, because An'an once said that his mother called his father Yizhi.

But if An'an's uncle really is her father, why would he marry Sun?

Seeing Jingxue lost in thought, Ye Muchen said, "The child hasn't fully developed yet, so maybe he looks a bit like him!"

After the meal, the retired emperor took the children to the courtyard to play with flashlights.

Jingxue and Xiaoman and the other maids sewed several cotton masks and scarves. She didn't pay attention to what Ye Muchen was doing.

The next morning, Ye Muchen did not go to court. After breakfast, the group arrived at the gate of the mansion before dawn!

Jingxue had already used her supernatural abilities to check the number of people, so before coming out, she bought some outdoor cotton gloves in the mall, one pair for each person.

Once everyone had put on their warm gloves, everyone except the Emperor Emeritus and Ye Muchen bowed to Jingxue and said, "Thank you, Princess Consort Zhan!"

Ye Muchen led over a chestnut horse. "Xue'er, this horse is very gentle. Why don't you try riding it?"

Jingxue agreed, took the reins, stepped into the stirrups, and leaped onto the horse.

Just as Ye Muchen had said, the horse remained completely still.

Ye Muchen picked up Yingying, who was wrapped up tightly, and placed her behind Gao Chi. When the intercalary month arrived, the girl refused to sit behind Jin Shisan no matter what, so he had no choice but to let her sit in front.

With everything arranged, the group headed towards the city gate. The retired emperor wore a large hat that covered his white hair.

Ye Muchen patiently stayed by Jingxue's side, occasionally telling her a few words about the essentials of riding a horse, such as adjusting the strength of the legs according to the horse's reaction and actual needs.

Jingxue got the hang of it after riding for a while. Not to mention that she had ridden it once in her previous life, even now that she has superpowers, it wouldn't be a problem.

Riding a horse is much faster than a carriage, and they arrived at the village in just over half the usual time. On the way, they even encountered a carriage delivering vegetables to Li's Fruit and Vegetable Shop.

Yesterday, Ye Muchen had already sent someone to inform the several heads of the estate, since it was the retired emperor traveling, and his safety had to be guaranteed.

They arrived directly at the greenhouse, dismounted, and handed their horses to their attendants. There were already quite a few soldiers standing guard around the greenhouse.

Li Quan and the others came forward and knelt down in unison. Jing Xue, holding Runyue and Yingying's hands, saw Steward Yuan, Head of the Du Manor, and others.

The Emperor Emeritus waved his hand and said in a loud voice, "Get up, all of you! Take me inside to have a look."

Li Quan stood up and gestured for her to enter. At that moment, Yingying said, "Sister, there are puppies in the shed."

Jingxue remembered the dog Zhao Chen brought back. More than a month had passed, and the dog was about 60 days pregnant, so it must have given birth by now.

Sure enough, Butler Yuan said, "Miss, that dog gave birth to eight puppies a few days ago, and it took several hours to give birth!"

"Oh? It gave birth to so many puppies, is its milk enough?" Jingxue asked, worried that the mother dog might not have enough milk.

"That's enough. We'll make sure to feed the mother dog well during this time!"

"That's OK!"

Upon hearing this, the retired emperor said, "Then let's go to another shed! Let's not disturb the dog."

Li Quan replied, "Your Majesty, it's alright. People pick vegetables here every day, and the dogs are used to it!"

"Oh, then let's look at them one by one!" the Emperor Emeritus said.

Jingxue saw that Lord Liu He from the Ministry of Agriculture was also in the crowd, so she walked over to him.

Liu He nodded and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

"How has it been, Lord Liu? Have you made any progress during this time?" Jingxue asked.

Speaking of this, Liu He said, "Your Highness, this trip was truly worthwhile. Do you know what? Those potatoes were already as big as a child's fist! At the time, I didn't believe it when I heard that potatoes could mature in sixty days!"

"The soybeans have grown to over a foot tall, and the corn is more than half a person's height. It's wonderful! Seeing this lush and green scenery every day makes me feel especially hopeful about life!"

Seeing Liu He's excited expression, Jingxue smiled and said, "Lord Liu, you've worked hard these past few days!"

"I dare not say it's hard work. I am an official in charge of agriculture, and it is my duty. By the way, Your Highness, I think these potatoes should not be planted in the same field repeatedly. I wonder what Your Highness's plans are after this batch of potatoes is harvested?" Liu He asked.

Jingxue really didn't understand. "I don't know about this. Just in case, let's change to another shed and plant another batch! Then plant ten here as well, so we'll know the result. I'll talk to Li Zhuangtou about this. Then we can pick one of the sheds where we planted the bok choy and plant potatoes there. Let's try to harvest another batch in the spring."

"Okay!" Liu He nodded in response.
