Xuan Du chuckled lightly, put her feet on the ground, then stood up and said, "Are you hungry? I'll go find something to eat for you."
Yuan Jiahe panicked and hurriedly grabbed his wrist: "Don't leave, I...I'm scared." She looked at Xuandu with wet eyes and said, "I'm not hungry, really."
As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach growled in dissatisfaction.
Xuandu sighed softly and knelt down to look at her levelly: "I won't go far, I'm just in this temple. There are sweet potatoes in the backyard. I'll go find some and I'll be back soon. Just wait here for me."
Yuan Jiahe wanted to go with him, but she couldn't walk on her feet. She didn't want to trouble Xuan Du, so she bit her lip and nodded gently.
Xuan Du then stood up and left. After walking a few steps, he finally felt a little worried and looked back, only to see Yuan Jiahe sitting on the ground with his arms folded.
This posture looked so lonely and helpless, which hurt his heart for no reason.
He turned around and turned back.
Yuan Jiahe suddenly raised his head when he heard the footsteps, and saw Xuan Du squatting down in front of her, then he took a piece of burning wood as a torch and handed it to her and said: "Come up, I will carry you with me."
Her eyes were hot, but she reached up to his back regardless, and then took the torch in his hand.
Xuan Du carried her out the door. It was pitch dark outside. Yuan Jiahe held a torch to point the way for him, and the two of them soon arrived at the backyard.
Although this temple is deserted, there are still some fruits and vegetables in the backyard. Although no one is taking care of them, they are still full of vitality.
Xuan Du placed her on an open space, then found something and dug it up on the ground.
Yuan Jiahe shined a light on him and asked, "What are you digging for?"
Xuandu said: "Sweet potatoes."
Yuan Jiahe was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "Are the sweet potatoes originally buried underground?"
She has eaten this thing before, but she doesn’t know where it grows. She is a princess and has lived in the palace since she was a child. She has no worries about food and clothing. How can she know about the sufferings in the world?
Xuan Du saw her surprised look and explained with a smile: "Yes, the things we eat are all very magical, some grow underground, some grow on trees, and some grow in the water.
"
After hearing his explanation, Yuan Jiahe scratched his head in embarrassment: "I...I haven't even seen it."
Xuandu said: "It doesn't matter, I can teach you." After that, he told her about all the fruits and vegetables in the yard.
From their growth environment to maturity to the dishes they can be made, as well as some effects.
Yuan Jiahe felt that what he said was more exciting than listening to the stories. She looked at the man talking eloquently under the moonlight, and suddenly she felt a sense of peace and tranquility in her heart.
At this moment, she forgot who she was and what she had experienced. All that was left in her world was this small vegetable garden and the man in front of her.
Nothing more.
...
Beijing.
Mu Yun'an spent a day shopping and planned to have a good rest when she came back. Unexpectedly, she was just lying on the bed when the housekeeper came to report: "His Royal Highness is here and wants to see you, the county lord."
She took a look at the sky outside. It was so late. King Jing's visit must be important, so she didn't delay and immediately followed the housekeeper to the front hall.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yuan Shuolin looked back and saw Mu Yun'an coming. He walked over quickly and asked, "Has Jiahe come to see you?"
