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

Seeing Liu Sanhao's nervous expression, Jingxue said gently, "Sanhao, you didn't have a fever last night, did you? Don't think too much, just focus on recovering from your injury. I have something to do later, so I'll give you the injection first, and then Xiaoman will help you remove it."

"Miss, I didn't have a fever last night, and my wound doesn't hurt as much anymore, so please don't worry about me!"

Liu Sanhao looked at the medicine bottle in Jingxue's hand and didn't say anything more. Xiaoman had told her about Jingxue's habits last night, the most important of which was that she shouldn't ask about anything strange she saw.

She was from a poor family and had never seen a princess before. She had heard that princesses wore gold and silver, had many rules, and used things she had never seen before. Now that she was a servant, she had to learn to behave herself!

After breakfast, Jingxue prepared to go to the fields with Li Quan.

Qin Jing and Ye Musi are here, perfect timing to go together!

Everyone says autumn is golden, but what Jingxue sees is a field of withered yellow, as if a single spark could ignite a raging fire!

That river is dry, and the riverbed is full of grayish-white cracks. If it's still this dry next year, it will be really scary.

As Jingxue walked, she used her supernatural abilities to probe for underground water sources. If it didn't rain, she'd see if she could dig a well!

And you know what? There are actually a few places where there's water underneath, and it's quite plentiful!

The ground was too dry, and people kicked up a lot of dust when they walked on it, so Jingxue took out a face towel and put it on.

When Ye Musi saw that she was wearing a veil, only her eyes were visible, he immediately recognized her as the girl he had seen on his way back to the capital that day.

I never expected it to be my third sister-in-law!

He clenched his fist, unable to describe the feeling in his heart!

His mother was only a concubine, and his maternal grandfather was a general who was later poisoned to death by spies. His mother was his only child.

As for why she entered the palace, her mother never mentioned it.

His mother died when he was six years old, and he was then raised by the then empress, who is now the empress dowager.

When he was a child, his third brother treated him very well. Once, his mother secretly spoke a few words to him on the way to the palace school, which was seen by Consort Xian. When Consort Xian was about to punish his mother, it was his third brother who stepped forward to save them.

On her deathbed, his mother told him not to stand out in anything, that he didn't need to be outstanding, and that only in this way could he live a peaceful old age.

Three years ago, he left the palace to establish his own residence when he turned sixteen, and since then he has followed Qin Jing out of the capital every year.

One important reason was to avoid arranged marriages. He knew that marriage was inevitable, and he was just delaying it.

Third Brother had once told them that he disliked Jingxue because she was Jing Zhiyuan's daughter. But he still married her, and Jingxue became Third Brother's princess.

He can no longer even think about it!

"Uncle Li, how many wells are there in the village, and what is the water volume like?" Jingxue asked.

"Miss, there is only one well in this mountain village. The water volume is okay, but it's only enough for the villagers to drink. If you want to use the well to irrigate the land, I'm afraid that's not feasible!"

Jingxue smiled and shared her thoughts: "I'd like to dig a few wells in the field. Are there people who specialize in digging wells?"

"Well, this servant really doesn't know. This estate was bestowed upon our general—no, upon our Prince Zhenbei—by the Emperor Emeritus three years ago. I myself came here three years ago! Perhaps I can ask Village Head Yu later!"

"Sister-in-law, I can help you find someone to dig a well!" Qin Jing said.

“Okay!” Jingxue nodded.

By now the sun was high in the sky, and Jingxue felt her forehead was covered in sweat. Having seen enough, the group headed back.

Meanwhile, in the main hall of Yue'an Palace in the imperial palace, a man in black was kneeling. He was the same guard who had been hiding in the tree in Dashan Village the night before.

The retired emperor had already woken up, but he felt there was no point in getting up, so he lay in bed thinking.

He didn't get up until the chief eunuch, Eunuch Xi, announced that Jin Shier had returned.

The day before yesterday, when the Emperor Emeritus learned that Jingxue had entered the palace, she offered two good suggestions. He then sent his secret guards to investigate how Jingxue came up with those ideas.

After washing up, the Emperor Emeritus sat on a chair in the main hall. "Why are you back so soon? Get up and talk to me!"

Jin Shier is still annoyed!

"This servant should kneel and answer! This servant was discovered by the Princess Consort last night, and I don't know how the branch broke!"

The retired emperor flew into a rage upon hearing this, "You good-for-nothing! You've been a secret guard for so long, and you've been discovered by that girl in less than a day? Huh?"

Jin Shierbangbang was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Your Majesty, you don't know, please let me explain!"

Eunuch Xi brought in tea and quickly placed it on the table. He then patted the Emperor Emeritus's back and said, "Oh dear! Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. The imperial physician said you shouldn't keep losing your temper!"

"Say it!"

Jin Shier began to recount what he had seen.

"Is my black melon with Princess Zhan? I know she has medical skills, and she also brought out many foods I've never seen before? She also has a little girl in her family who can speak animal language!" The Emperor Emeritus summarized the contents of Jin Twelve's words, and his fingers began to tap the table again.

Grandpa Xi: Ancestor, please stop knocking! You've lost all rhythm and knocked the black melon away.

"Twelve, go and fetch Eleven for me!" the Emperor Emeritus ordered, stopping his finger.

Dashan Village

Jingxue and her friends encountered Yu Lizheng in the village.

Yu Lizheng bowed to the three imperial relatives and took out a contract of indenture, saying, "Your Highness, this humble subject is about to present you with Liu Sanhao's contract of indenture!"

Jingxue took it. "So fast! Did their engagement go smoothly?"

"Your Highness, everything went smoothly. I returned late yesterday, so I didn't want to bother you. Sigh! In the eyes of those two families, Liu Sanhao is just a burden. They can't wait to sever ties with him! But this girl is lucky to have met you!"

Having completed his task, Yu Lizheng decided not to disturb the important person any further and returned home.

"Sister-in-law, when are we going back?" Qin Jing was anxious about his business.

Jingxue said, "Let's pack up and go back!"

In the courtyard, Li Ma had just finished cleaning the robe.

Xiaoman said that Liu Sanhao's injections were finished, and Jingxue went to put away the needles and medicine bottles.

Yingying looked a little listless. Jingxue knew that the little girl was still thinking about the little white wolf. When An'an heard that they were going back to the manor, she sensibly carried the two brothers' small bundles on her back.

Liu Sanhao, being a farmer's son, wanted to get on the carriage himself.

But the leap month strongman suddenly gave her a princess carry and easily placed her next to the carriage. Then he climbed up from the other side and carried Liu Sanhao into the carriage.

Li Ma packed some boiled sweet potatoes and boiled eggs for the children to take with them, while Li Quan loaded the robe that Jingxue wanted onto the carriage.

On the way back, Jingxue told the children the story of "Journey to the West" in order to pique Yingying's interest.

"There is a country on the other side of the sea called Aolai..."
