With his trouser legs rolled up and his white and red feet wrapped in black mud, Su Jinpa came out of the field, stood in front of Li Chen and said, "The prince is here just to tease the little girl?"
Li Chen lowered his head and looked at Su Jinpa's white and tender calves, which were full of the vitality and elasticity of a young woman. Even though they were wrapped in mud, you could still see the round and cute toes. He praised: "It's very beautiful. Wash the mud with water."
It’s definitely more lovable.”
From childhood to adulthood, men of the same age have always treated her like a princess, and everyone is respectful. Who has ever said such a presumptuous thing?
What's more, in ancient times, men and women were guarded against each other. Women's feet were strictly forbidden to be seen by men other than their husbands. When they grew up, even their fathers were not allowed to see them.
Although Su Jinpa doesn't like those restrictions and etiquette, after all, he grew up in the environment of this era, and he is a little shy at the moment.
She hurriedly took a handkerchief from the maid's hand and covered her calves and feet, and said angrily: "Your Highness, don't you know that you should not look at anything inappropriate?"
"You have the nerve to expose yourself in broad daylight. Let me see what's going on."
After Li Chen finished speaking with a smile, he turned around and glanced around, his eyes cold.
I just wanted to see these little feet. When the other men looked at them, His Royal Highness would lose his temper.
Sure enough, the guards and others nearby had already turned away, not daring to listen or look.
This action caught Su Jinpa's eye. She stamped her feet, snorted, ran to wash herself off, put on her pantyhose, and then returned to Li Chen.
"I have been observing the sweet potatoes you mentioned these past few days and found that the seedlings grow very quickly. Regardless of how many fruits they can bear, at least this greenhouse can really grow summer fruits in cold weather."
Su Jinpa's tone was excited and he said energetically: "This alone is worthy of being promoted nationwide. I don't know how many people can benefit."
Li Chen shook his head and said: "But I don't intend to promote this."
Su Jinpa was stunned for a moment and asked: "Why? This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people."
"Innocent."
Li Chen casually picked a piece of foxtail grass on the edge of the field and played with it, and said: "Don't even look at it. This greenhouse in this palace is made of bronze mirrors that are manually polished until they are transparent. Just this little bit costs a lot of money."
It took a hundred workers three months and countless bronze mirrors to make them. It cost a lot of manpower and material resources. Among the people, which common people can afford it?"
Li Chen's words made Su Jinpa suddenly realize, and then she said with disappointment: "That's true... I thought things were too simple."
"But having a kind heart is always a good thing."
Li Chen praised, then took Su Jinpa's hand and ordered her before she struggled: "Don't move!"
Su Jinpa looked at Li Chen in confusion, but saw that the dog's tail grass had somehow been woven into the shape of a ring for Li Chen.
Putting the ring on Su Jinpa's left ring finger, Li Chen smiled and said, "This is called a ring."
"Isn't it just a ring? It's so ugly." Su Jinpa muttered, looking at the dog's tail grass on his white and slender fingers.
"I have read in the anecdotal record that there is a tradition in Western barbarian countries where a woman wears a ring on her ring finger to indicate that she is married."
Li Chen chuckled and said: "So this is a token given to you by this palace. You are not allowed to throw it away."
