Xiao Nan was taking a shower while Meng Fei stood guard at the door. He scratched his head, unable to recall anything from last night.

After his wife finished washing, he quickly handed her a clean set of clothes and then said in a sullen voice.

"Um, I'm going to the fields now."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come home for lunch."

"Um"

Meng Fei took off running, leaving Xiao Nan speechless. Were all men in ancient times like this? Or was it just him?

Back in the room, she lay lazily on the kang (a heated brick bed), not wanting to move, really not wanting to move, so tired.

Lovemaking is more physically demanding than working in the fields.

Just as he was drifting off to sleep, Meng Fei ran back from the fields. Remembering that his wife hadn't eaten breakfast yet, he hurried to the kitchen and started cooking in a panic.

He cooked a small pot of millet porridge and boiled a few eggs. What's even more ridiculous is that he added brown sugar to the millet porridge.

When Xiao Nan saw a bowl of dark, murky stuff, he asked...

"What is this? Is the porridge burnt?"

Meng Fei lowered his head shyly: "It has brown sugar in it."

"brown sugar?"

"Hmm, isn't it said that adding this makes it more nutritious and tastier?"

Xiao Nan burst into laughter: "I haven't given birth, and I'm not in postpartum confinement, why are you making a fuss about it, haha."

Meng Fei's face turned bright red: "Everyone in postpartum confinement eats this, which means it's nutritious. You, you worked hard yesterday, so you should replenish yourself properly."

"You're the one who needs to be compensated,"

"Here's a pot. You drink it, and have two eggs. I'll go to the kitchen to eat."

"Hahahaha"

Meng Fei's face turned bright red with embarrassment, and he fled like the wind.

"So cute, so cute! Haha!" Xiao Nan's laughter echoed in the house, and Meng Fei in the kitchen almost bit his tongue off.

Xiao Nan slept in a daze all morning, and only opened her eyes when there was movement in the yard.

After getting dressed and getting off the kang (a heated brick bed), he came out and saw Meng Fei, who had put the hoe on the wall and was about to go to the kitchen.

Xiao Nan smiled and rolled up his sleeves.

"Let me do it. You're already exhausted. Get some rest."

Meng Fei was stunned, his face turning bright red. What did he mean by "exhausted on top of exhausted"? Didn't that mean he couldn't do it?

"I'll light the fire for you."

"Okay! What do you want to eat?"

"I picked some scallions. Let's have some pancakes. They have sauce, so it's so satisfying to roll them up and eat them."

Xiao Nan asked him while he was still alive, "Where are you from?"

"Tongzhou in the North".

No wonder he's so tall.

"Yes, men from the South are thin and small, but each has its own advantages."

Can you swim?

"Yes, people like us are born to fight and deal with emergencies. I have been learning martial arts, swimming, simple mechanisms, and traditional Chinese medicine since I was a child. I have some knowledge of all of them."

"I never expected to find a prince, and a war god of the Dragon Kingdom at that. What an honor!"

"Then I've also found a lady from a distinguished family."

"Bullshit about returning, bullshit about showing off."

"Then I'm still a worthless warrior, a worthless king."

"Haha, we're nothing now, just ordinary farmers."

"Yes, it's farming. In the future, I'll work hard outside, and I'll stay home to grow seedlings and do some light work."

"I don't want to be a caged canary."

Meng Fei felt he shouldn't hide it from Xiao Nan: he said, "Wife, I want to buy all the wasteland within the entire Fengzhou territory."

"How much land would that require?"

"It must be tens of thousands of acres, and they hired local people to work there, making it exactly the same as ours."

"Yes, go ahead and do it if you want."

"Don't worry, my wife. I will put all the land deeds in your name and stamp them with the official seal. No one can steal them even if they want to."

"You decide what to do, I'm easy to talk to."

The two ate lunch and discussed their future plans, completely forgetting about what had happened before.

However, by evening, Xiao Nan was fine, but Meng Fei's heart was pounding with anxiety.

A man his age would already be a father of several children in this area.

My first experience with sex was naturally more intense than that of a tiger or wolf. However, thinking that my wife was also a virgin and would definitely feel uncomfortable, I suppressed my impulse and forced myself to close my eyes and go to sleep.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

When Meng Fei went to inspect the fields, his brother came up to him and whispered a few words in his ear.

Meng Fei's face showed shock: "Are you telling the truth?"

"The message came from the capital."

How did the emperor die?

"They say he was wounded in the neck and bled to death, but the palace says the emperor died peacefully in his dream."

What's the situation now?

"The country is in mourning. People throughout the land are forbidden from getting married, drinking alcohol, or making merry for a year."

"Pah, he's dead, the whole country should celebrate."

"Your grandfather had his leg broken and is now staying at home to recover."

A complex expression appeared in Meng Fei's eyes. He said indifferently, "It's good that he's not dead. With his leg broken, let's see if he still interferes in court affairs. He's so old, and instead of thinking about enjoying his retirement, he only thinks about loyalty."

"Now, seeing that the old prince's leg is broken and you have disappeared, none of the princes want to associate with him, and the old prince is very disappointed."

"Should!"

"The capital is in chaos right now; people are dying every day."

"Never mind, tell all the brothers to come back. I have something to tell them to do."

"Yes!"

Meng Fei took a deep breath. No matter which prince becomes the crown prince, the Dragon Kingdom will not be good. None of those princes are good people. They want to be emperors, but only for power. None of them care about the common people.

They all deserve to die, but he doesn't have the strength to fight them yet.

His soldiers had all been disbanded and returned home to farm, and the military tally was taken back by the dog emperor that year.

Therefore, he needed to conceal his talents and act in secret.

After giving his instructions, he looked at the manor again, a proud smile on his face.

Such a manor is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is high up and has a wide view. The outer ring is used for storage, while the inner ring can be used for living both underground and above ground. You can also enjoy the scenery from the rooftop. I never would have guessed. My wife is really smart. It makes me feel a little inferior.

Without the old lady around, the couple happily lived their life as a couple.

After Xiao Nan recovered, Meng Fei, that beast, worked diligently every night.

It wasn't for having a baby, but the madness that followed the first taste of human intimacy.

Xiao Nan let him have his way. Her body was very strong now, and she didn't even need contraception. If she got pregnant, she could just give birth.

The Meng family has a long history of single-lineage marriages and a small population; she wants to change this situation in her husband's generation.

Before we knew it, it was the end of October. The weather turned cool, and everyone put on light jackets.

The yams and medicinal herbs in the field will not ripen until the end of October. Xiao Nan directed the workers to pile up soil around the roots of the two hundred acres of fruit trees, then woven straw into curtains and tied them tightly.

They are still young, and this is done to prevent them from freezing.

As the weather grew colder day by day, Xiao Nan and Meng Fei prepared some gifts and planned to go to the Wang family to bring Grandma back.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw a fast horse galloping towards his home.

Upon seeing Meng Fei, the man immediately knelt down on one knee, handed over the large bag on his back, and whispered something.

"This is from my master."

Meng Fei glanced at him, took the bag, opened it, and immediately grinned.

Xiao Nan took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the man's hand: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you. Do you have something to say to my master?"

"No, go back."

"Yes!"

After mounting the horse, the man turned it around, spurred it on with his legs, and galloped away.

Meng Fei handed the cloth bag to Xiao Nan: "Inside are wheat seeds, white rice seeds, and another kind that I don't recognize."

Xiao Nan reached out and grabbed a handful, seeing that the three kinds of seeds were mixed together, and there were even corn seeds among them.

She smiled and said, "These seeds can only grow a small patch next year. Mass production will only begin the year after next."

"No matter how long it takes, as long as it grows successfully, that's good enough."
