"The mother and concubine are joking again." A look of coldness flashed through Si Haochen's eyes, "Although the father travels around the world, the mother and concubine have to live in the palace all the time. I have never heard of any prince's concubine living in the palace. . If you really want to act like this, everyone at Yushitai will be very busy.
The son originally thought that his uncle's family was not in the imperial capital, and his mother-in-law chose her husband's family, so it would be more honorable to marry from the palace. Since the mother-in-law wanted to keep her in service, it was also her blessing, so she would become a female official in the palace. It’s justifiable.”
Concubine Shen felt as if someone had hit her head with a hammer, and she was completely stunned. She only wanted Bichi to marry Chen'er as a concubine. Although she knew that Chen'er had no interest in Bichi, she was in the deep palace. After years of immersion, as long as Bichi could marry into the palace, she would have a way to help Bichi become a royal concubine.
However, after just saying a few words, why does Bichi need to be a female official in the palace? Although the female official has a good rank and a higher status than the palace maid, she is also a slave serving the master. How can her Bichi be a slave!
Shen Bichi was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping on the conversation between her aunt and her cousin. When she heard that her cousin wanted her to join the palace as a female official, she couldn't stand still.
Most of the female officials will die of old age in the palace, so she doesn't want to do it. After her cousin finished speaking, her aunt never spoke to her. Shen Bichi's heartstrings tightened, for fear that her aunt would have a brain twitch and let her go to the palace to do it. Female officer.
"If you are undecided, you can think about it carefully." Si Haochen stood up and said, "I have resigned."
Of course, it was impossible for Concubine Shen to let Shen Bichi enter the palace as a female official. All she could think about were the unmarried young men from aristocratic families who were similar in age to Shen Bichi in the imperial capital.
She previously only thought about letting Chen'er Nabichi enter the house and didn't pay much attention to these things. Now she can think of no one who can catch her eye.
Comparing them with Chen'er, whether it's appearance, talent, or martial arts, there's a huge difference. The more I think about it, the more annoying it becomes!
Seeing that her cousin had gone far away, Shen Bichi moved into the palace. She had a low eyebrow, a sore nose, and red eye circles, like a poor little kid who had been bullied.
"Aunt." Shen Bichi squatted on the ground, lying on Concubine Shen's knees.
Concubine Shen pinched her eyebrows and reached out to stroke Shen Bichi's head, again and again, as if she was comforting a little pet.
"Aunt..." Shen Bichi gritted her teeth and decided to take a big gamble, "Bichi is willing to join the palace as a female official and serve her aunt for the rest of her life."
"Silly boy, my aunt knows that you are a filial and good boy. But my aunt wants to see you with red makeup and a happy life with your children around her knees." Concubine Shen rubbed Shen Bichi's hair, "We have to discuss this matter in the long term. .”
In the next few days, the palace was peaceful. Concubine Shen was quietly 'recuperating' in Juyuan, while Mingruo was busy with the corn breeding plan.
Si Haochen brought back the dried corn, and Mingruo asked Perilla and Lithospermum to peel the corn kernels together. This job is not difficult, but it is very labor-intensive. Mingruo only peeled it for a while, and his fingers were red.
Si Haochen took the corn from Mingruo's hand and threw it back into the basket: "Just rest, your hands are hurt."
"Princess, let's just come." Zisu and Lithospermum have never done farm work. Although they have worked hard, their efficiency is not high.
Just when Bai Shen came in to report the government banquet, His Highness Prince Yun caught him and said, "Come and shell the corn."
"..." Bai Shen had no choice but to work resignedly and humbly accept the instructions. He could not use too much force and directly break the corn kernels.
It has to be said that Bai Shen's fighting ability is very strong, one person can do three things, and he can shuck the corn in no time.
Mingruo carried half a basket of corn kernels back to the dormitory, and did not allow anyone to disturb him. Mingruo closed the door and entered the space. He took out a small hoe and started sowing seeds. Only when he really started to work did Mingruo understand, 'Who knows what food is on the plate?
It's hard work for each grain. I'm not just saying it casually. Only one-tenth of the seeds have been used, and Mingruo is so tired that he can't stand up straight.
Mingruo let out a breath and sat down directly on the ground, just wanting to die on the spot.
Xiaobai ran out from the pine forest in the distance and rubbed his big head on Mingruo's knees. Then he waved his big, thick paws and dug across a row of neat shallow pits.
"Wow." Mingruo's eyes sparkled. This was much more efficient than digging with a hoe.
Linglong also flew over from the flowers of the aquatic plants and landed on Mingruo's fingertips.
"Linglong is finally energetic. It seems that he has adapted to living in a warm environment." This little thing was very sick when they lived in the valley. Mingruo gave it all kinds of elixirs, and it was fine.
No improvement.
Mingruo decided that the thatched hut was not as warm as the palace's bedroom, so he put Linglong into the space to keep it out of the cold.
Linglong flew around in front of Mingruo: This space is so awesome, I have taken good care of my body.
In just a short while, Xiao Bai finished digging a piece of land as big as a football field. He ran back to Ming Ruo and shook his head, as if saying: Is it big enough? Mr. Hu will dig it again.
"Young Master Bai, you are so capable." Mingruo rubbed his head.
Xiaobai's operation was a big help. At least Mingruo no longer had to dig the ground so hard and could just sow the seeds directly. Linglong held the corn kernels with her thin legs and threw them into a shallow pit. Xiaobai then pulled them out.
The claws are filled with soil, and one butterfly and one tiger cooperate in perfect harmony.
"I didn't realize it, but you two are still good at farming." Ming Ruo felt a little ashamed, because her dexterous hands were completely abused by the combination of small legs and big tiger claws.
With the help of Xiaobai and Linglong, Mingruo finally sown all the corn seeds. In order to ensure the germination rate, she watered them with ice spring water. Mingruo also thought about watering the magical well water, but it took so much water.
Come up, I guess my arm will be useless.
After watering the last piece of land, Mingruo shook her sore wrist and wiped the sweat from her forehead, her throat almost smoky. Mingruo fetched a bucket of well water, and she and Linglong each drank a glass, and the rest was given to Xiao
Drink for free.
After drinking the water, Mingruo gave Linglong and Xiaobai a Snow Velvet Pill each: "Thank you for your hard work."
Linglong flew around Mingruo in a circle, and then started to chew the elixir: she liked it the most.
Xiaobai swallowed it in one gulp and lay down under the grape trellis to rest.
After drinking the well water, Mingruo felt significantly less tired. He turned around and entered the bamboo house. He tidied the medicine shelf first, then picked up "The Story of Yan Ling Bracelet" on the table and flipped through it a few times.
"Fall!" Mingruo discovered that after the 'severe chest paralysis', there was another 'intestinal carbuncle, heat and poisonous disease'.
Mingruo threw "The Story of Yan Ling Bracelet" back on the table, unable to complain - I really didn't know what to say about this bracelet. He didn't consider Si Haochen's major thoracotomy to be an incurable disease. This small
