Chapter 173 Good idea
The next day, Su Qianrou brought Chunzhu and Qiulan to the fields.
At this moment, Mu Jinchen and the other officials were discussing something.
Su Qianrou did not disturb them and waited quietly not far away.
It wasn't until Li Zixuan accidentally saw her and called out, "Your Highness," that everyone realized she had arrived.
Seeing that she had been discovered, Su Qianrou walked over and said, "It's hot, so I've prepared some mung bean soup for Your Highness and the other officials to cool off, as well as some food. It's getting late, and I imagine Your Highness and the other officials are hungry. Why don't you sit down and have something to eat and rest for a while?" After saying that, she looked at Mu Jinchen.
"Ok".
Having received his permission, Su Qianrou said, "Thank you all for your hard work. Please have a seat."
"Thank you, Your Highness," the officials said, and without further ado, they all sat down.
Su Qianrou picked up a bowl of cold noodles and handed it to Mu Jinchen, saying, "Your Highness, please try it."
Mu Jinchen took it and asked, "When did you arrive? We've been waiting for a long time."
"No, just a little while."
"There's no need to do that next time," he added, fearing she might misunderstand. "No need to wait."
“Okay,” Su Qianrou replied.
Then, the two fell silent.
Just then, Li Zixuan asked, "Your Highness, what is this? It's icy cold and very delicious."
"This is cold skin noodles, perfect for summer."
“I’ve had this at Pinshixuan before. I thought it was only available there. I didn’t expect that the Princess would have it here as well,” one of the officials said.
"Does Lord Wang not know?"
"Know what?"
"Pinshixuan is owned by the Princess."
"No wonder, I see."
Su Qianrou didn't say anything.
When no one was looking, Chunzhu secretly pulled Yingfeng aside.
Why are you pulling me?
"I heard that you gentlemen will be coming again tomorrow."
"Yes, I haven't finished this work yet, so of course I have to come."
"I've come up with a good idea."
"What's a good idea?"
Chunzhu gestured for him to lower his head.
Yingfeng immediately lowered his head, and then Chunzhu whispered something in his ear. His eyes lit up, and he said, "This is indeed a good idea."
"You also think it's feasible."
"That's a great idea, let's do it."
"Then go and talk to the prince."
"No problem, just wait for my good news."
Then, the two quietly returned to Su Qianrou and Mu Jinchen's side.
After returning from the fields, Mu Jinchen handled official business in the house.
After thinking about his words, Yingfeng said, "Your Highness, there are some things I'm not sure if I should say."
"Then don't say it."
"I'll speak, since it concerns the Princess."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinchen did not stop him.
“Your Highness, it takes two hours to travel between the manor and the capital. You gentlemen have been working hard all day and have to rush back. By the time you get back, it will be dark, and you will have to come back again tomorrow. This back-and-forth travel and the arduous journey will surely take a toll on your health.” He paused and continued, “Minister Li is alright, after all, he is young. But the other gentlemen… especially Minister Zhang, who is almost fifty years old. The back-and-forth travel will probably break his bones. And then there is Minister Su. Minister Su is the Princess Consort’s father. Your Highness, think about it. Minister Su is already so tired today, and the Princess Consort is already distressed to see him like this. If she sees Minister Su traveling back and forth like this, how can she feel good about it?”
"Then, in your opinion..."
“Let all the gentlemen stay here for the night. This way, they won’t have to travel back and forth and they can get a good rest. What do you think, Your Highness?” After saying this, she looked closely at Mu Jinchen, as if afraid that he would not agree.
"Okay, you can make the arrangements."
Seeing that he had agreed, Yingfeng was overjoyed and immediately replied, "Yes, I will make the arrangements right away," and then quickly walked out.
Mu Jinchen was already used to his impulsive nature, so he didn't think much of it, lowered his head, and continued to handle official business.
Meanwhile, Su Qianrou and Chang Le were chatting inside the house.
Chang Le suddenly asked, "I heard that you and your brother slept in separate rooms last night, and that you had a fight."
Su Qianrou paused in her tea-drinking motion, then replied, "No."
"Then why do you sleep in separate rooms?"
Su Qianrou couldn't very well say that they had always slept in separate rooms, so she could only say, "Last night, His Highness was handling official business until very late and was afraid of disturbing my rest, so he rested across from me."
"My brother is really something. It was one thing before he was married, but now that he's married, all he does is busy with official duties all day long. I don't know... I have to talk to him."
"Your Highness bears a heavy responsibility and dares not slacken your efforts."
"You shouldn't take his side."
Su Qianrou didn't know how to respond, so she could only smile.
As evening approached, but Mu Jinchen was still handling official business, Yingfeng had no choice but to say, "Your Highness, it's already past midnight, aren't you going to see the Princess?"
"Why would you go to the princess's place for no reason?"
"Your Highness, you've forgotten that all the esteemed officials are also staying here tonight."
"So what?" Mu Jinchen said dismissively, without even raising his head.
"Your Highness, do you remember what you said in front of all the court officials? You said you were in love with the Princess Consort, but now you and the Princess Consort have been married for less than half a month and you are already sleeping in separate rooms. Doesn't this expose your lie?"
Mu Jinchen thought about it and realized that there seemed to be a lot of truth to it.
Seeing that he was wavering, Yingfeng continued, "Also, if Lord Su knew that you and the Princess were sleeping in separate rooms, what would he think? He would definitely think that you dislike the Princess, or that the Princess has angered you. He would inevitably overthink things. What do you think?"
Mu Jinchen was completely convinced, so he got up and went out.
Seeing this, Yingfeng smiled triumphantly.
Meanwhile, in the house across the street, Chunzhu was also trying to persuade them.
“Your Highness, the Master is currently at the manor. If he finds out that you and the Prince are sleeping in separate rooms, he might overthink things.”
Su Qianrou had completely forgotten about this matter. Only after being reminded by her did she remember it. She put down the book in her hand and thought about the problem. Then she said, "If my father asks, I will say that the prince was busy with official duties and did not finish until late at night. In order not to disturb my rest, he rested in the study."
"Your Highness, you have already given this reason to Princess Chang Le. If Princess Chang Le asks about it again tomorrow, how will you explain it?"
"Let's say it this way: if there's any problem, tell her to go find the Prince."
"What do you want with me?"
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.
"Why has Your Highness come?"
"Your Highness is not welcoming me," he said, and sat down next to Su Qianrou.
"No, you've come at the perfect time. Here, take this," Su Qianrou handed him a folded document.
"What's this".
"The construction plan of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences".
"You've finished writing."
"Ok".
