Chapter 80 Growing Love

"I'm also very curious about this planting of medicinal seedlings. You may teach me?" I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. When Mu Yunchen talked to Xie Zhiruo, even the self-proclaimed hall was changed to me. It can be seen that he really wants to get closer to Xie Zhiruo.

Xie Zhiruo didn't care too much. After all, in modern times, everyone called herself 'I'. Besides, now Mu Yunchen said that she was interested in the herbs she planted. She was happy that it was too late and how could she think so much!

"Actually, I don't know much about it, but if you really like it, we can discuss it together."

"This is the best!" Mu Yunchen also showed a heartfelt smile on his face.

Mu Yunchen's smile will make people feel like a spring breeze, which is very warm and easy to close the distance between the two.

Xie Zhiruo liked his smile from the bottom of her heart, because this smile was like Ye Yan's smile, which made her feel warm.

The two are like old friends they have known for many years. Some talk and laugh, forget their identity, and forget those helpless and tedious rules. They just quietly enjoy this moment of relaxation and happy time.

It's just that the two of them didn't know that their every move was seen by a pair of gloomy eyes.

It was night. After dealing with his own affairs, Mu Yunting came directly to Xie Zhiruo's Xilan Courtyard.

"Givedance to His Royal Highness."

"Ye-huh."

"Where have people gone?" After looking around and finding that he did not see Xie Zhiruo, Mu Yunting asked Yuexi beside him.

"Little, young lady returned to the original yard in the morning..." Originally, Mu Yunting asked her to take good care of Xie Zhiruo, but today she still failed to stop Xie Zhiruo, and Xie Zhiruo did not allow her to follow.

Hearing the words, Mu Yunting's face darkened! Are you dissatisfied with the yard you arranged for her? What does it mean to go back to where you used to live early? Haven't you come back yet?"

"See you, madam." Looking at Xie Zhiruo's new palace people who walked into the yard, the prince was still preparing to be angry! It's really timely to come back!

"Well, you don't have to do this. Just be as casual as Yuexi." She is not used to other people giving her gifts at any time.

"Madam, Your Highness is already waiting for you in the inner room." A maid of honor whispered a reminder.

Hearing this, Xie Zhiruo was stunned. Because Mu Yunting didn't come last night, she thought he would not come today!

Looking at the muddy dress and unwashed hands, Xie Zhiruo was a little embarrassed to go in and show Mu Yunting her now embarrassed look.

"How long will you let me wait for you!" Just as Xie Zhiruo was about to clean herself up, Mu Yunting's voice sounded in the house.

Xie Zhiruo trembled subconsciously when she heard the words. She was a little afraid of Mu Yunting.

"I, I'll come in right away." There was no way for Xie Zhiruo to walk in.

Xie Zhiruo was like a child who did something wrong. She didn't dare to speak when she went in. She stood in the room and waited for Mu Yunting's 'falling'.

Mu Yunting looked up at Xie Zhiruo, who was standing aside, and couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth. Does this person still think of himself as a child? How can you make your dress all mud!

"Isn't this yard good? Why do you want to go back to the previous yard?

"Ah? It's good here... It's good here! It's just that I can't give up the medicinal herbs I planted before, and the distance is not too far, so I want to go back and have a look.

"It's just some medicinal herbs. Why do you have to be so careful? Just leave those things to the palace people.

"But, but I..." Xie Zhiruo tightened the corners of her clothes with some embarrassment. She was really reluctant, and Mu Yunting was not there. She didn't know what she could do. As long as she was idle, she liked to think nonsense, so she still wanted to find something to do for herself.

"Go to clean it first and change the dress on your body." Looking at Xie Zhiruo, whose hands were a little red with cold, Mu Yunting, who wanted to punish her, suddenly felt very unbearable, so she had to change her dress and take a bath to warm up.

"Oh, okay, okay." Xie Zhiruo looked at Mu Yunting, who had softened a lot and exhaled gently. Fortunately, he was not angry. Next time he must come back earlier! Xie Zhiruo made up her mind secretly in her heart!

"Miss, you are so awesome. Your Highness won't be angry as soon as you come back. We were really scared to death just now!"

Xie Zhiruo smiled. When did Yuexi's words become so exaggerated? Who said that Mu Yunting would not be angry when she came back? She was not scared to death just now!

After Xie Zhiruo took a bath, he returned to the previous room. At this time, Mu Yunting was sitting at the desk and seriously reviewing the memorial.

"You haven't had dinner yet, have you?" Xie Zhiruo came forward and asked softly. It is estimated that the time when Mu Yunting came to her should not have dinner yet.

"Ye-huh."

"I'm going down and let people prepare."

"I want to eat what you made yourself." Mu Yunting put down the fold in his hand and looked up at Xie Zhiruo. His tone was very light, but Xie Zhiruo seemed to see a flash of coquettishness in Mu Yunting's eyes.

Xie Zhiruo blinked her eyes a few times in disbelief. Mu Yunting's mood was so fast that it disappeared in the blink of an eye, which was impossible to capture.

Xie Zhiruo shook her head in her heart and told herself that she must have been wrong. How could Mu Yunting have such an emotion? That's more impossible than a sow climbing a tree.

However, since Mu Yunting wants to eat what she made, she will do it for him. I don't know how happy I am to see him like him.

"Wait, I'll do it for you."

Looking at Xie Zhiruo who turned around and left, Mu Yunting showed a beautiful smile on the corners of his mouth. He found that he liked the feeling of being with Xie Zhiruo more and more, relaxed and happy.

Although the weather is very cold now, Xie Zhiruo still insists on making a big dinner for Mu Yunting.

Smelling the fragrance floating into the room, Mu Yunting had already had a great appetite, and even looked at the folds a little absent-minded.

When the dishes were served, Mu Yunting took the initiative to sit down at the table and motioned Xie Zhiruo to sit down and accompany him for dinner. After gargling his hands, Mu Yunting returned to the table and began to look at the folds seriously. He had no intention of leaving at all.

Mu Yunting's face turned bright and dark under the dim yellow light. Looking at Mu Yunting's face, Xie Zhiruo lost her mind again. This face is exactly the same as Ye Yan from any angle.

She doesn't believe that there are two people who are so similar in the world. Even twins are not so similar, unless they are the same person! Yes, they are indeed the same person...

"What? Is there a flower on my face? Do you want to stare at it like this?" Mu Yunting didn't know when he looked up at Xie Zhiruo, who had been looking at him in a daze, and said in a joke.

"Ah? No, no, there are no long flowers..." Xie Zhiruo was shocked when she heard Mu Yunting's voice. Why can't she control herself so much! I always want to look at him all the time!

"Is it so infatuated with this palace?" Mu Yunting's voice sounded again, with seductive magnetism in the low.

"Eh..." Xie Zhiruo subconsciously nodded and answered, but after that, she realized what she had just said. Her face turned red and she quickly lowered her head.

Looking at the shy Xie Zhiruo, the smile on the corners of Mu Yunting's lips was even stronger. That's it. I allow you to continue to look at me and raise your head.

Although she was very shy, Xie Zhiruo slowly raised her head. She would not disobey Mu Yunting's order, and she really wanted to look at him all the time.

"Come here..."

Xie Zhiruo slowly walked to Mu Yunting's side.

As soon as he came to Mu Yunting's side, Mu Yunting stretched out his long hand and pulled Xie Zhiruo closer to his arms.

Gently sniffing the faint fragrance of medicine on her body, Mu Yunting felt that his heart was full. This was a feeling he had not had for more than 20 years. Even when he was with Shen Yujuan, he had never felt it.

"You, you still want to see the fold..." Xie Zhiruo fell into Mu Yunting's arms and was even more embarrassed. She buried her head in Mu Yunting's arms, and her voice was a little muffled.

"Do you think I can't see the folds like this?" Mu Yunting lowered his head and buried his face in Xie Zhiruo's neck. He whispered in her ear. The warm breath sprayed on Xie Zhiruo's ears, and his body trembled unconsciously.

"No, it's not..."

Mu Yunting's smile became stronger. He buried Xie Zhiruo's head in his chest and made him face the same direction of the desk as himself, and then continued to look at the folds.

Xie Zhiruo's eyes also looked at the folds in Mu Yunting's hand at the same time. The fold is full of all kinds of old-fashioned calligraphy, but she can understand it, but after reading the contents of the folds, her eyebrows unconsciously frowned.

She knew that the matter was not over after Mu Yunting went to the disaster area for disaster relief and returned to the imperial city last time. Zhe Zi said that there was almost no guarantee of living in the north of the town because of the previous drought. Although the court also sent them a lot of grain seeds for them to go back to grow, it would take a long time to grow grain. However, during this period, it is still difficult for many people to solve the basic food and clothing. Now the officials there ask the court to allocate food and fodder for relief.

Xie Zhiruo knew the production level in ancient times that there was no way to grow anything like this in winter, so the food here was stored before winter, even in the imperial city, because the court must have allocated a lot of disaster relief last time. If the grain is allocated now, there may be some difficulties.

Sure enough, Mu Yunting rubbed his temple with a headache after reading the fold. This matter has been written more than once, but he is very clear about the situation of the treasury. It is impossible to take out so much more food and fodder.

"But is it for the trouble of things in Zhenbei?" Xie Zhiruo didn't like to see Mu Yunting's troubled appearance, so she asked softly.

Mu Yunting nodded subconsciously. The matter of the disaster victims there really made him feel helpless.

"The problem of this grain should be difficult to solve..." Mu Yunting didn't expect Xie Zhiruo to read the content on the fold and thought she was thinking about something.

"The north of the town is relatively north, and the climate is much colder than here. The grain planted there can only be harvested once a year. How can the people wait?"

Hearing this, Mu Yunting looked at Xie Zhiruo with a little surprise. He didn't expect that Xie Zhiruo, an official lady in the south of the Yangtze River, would know these things and said that he had been worried all the time.

"It's true. No matter what the main grain is, it will not be harvested until next year."

"Although the weather has become cold now, if the method is right, you can still grow some crops that can satisfy your hunger."

Mu Yunting was even more surprised to hear this. Everyone knows that there is no way to grow any crops in cold weather. Why did Xie Zhiruo say so? What can she do?

Thinking of her again, she said that she went back to the original yard today to take care of the medicinal seedlings she had planted before. At this time, can the medicinal seedlings grow? Won't you freeze to death? It's really strange.

"What can you do? Let's talk about it with me." He wanted to know what good way she could say.

"Zi Ruo knows that there is a kind of crop called potato in Fengyun Kingdom." That is, something similar to sweet potatoes, but because this sweet potato grows in the sand on the mountain, there are not too many people who know it. She also accidentally found it before. She also specially made it to eat it. It tastes good and can satisfy her hunger.

"Potato? What is this?" He really hasn't heard of this.

"It's a kind of food that can satisfy my hunger. There are still several plants in my original yard. I've been planting them in the yard. They grow very well in such cold weather!" In less than a month, the local potato has grown as big as her two fists and has strong vitality.

"Tonight, Zhiruo also made sweet soup with the local potatoes, and the prince drank two bowls!"

"You mean that what you ate in this palace tonight is the sweet potato you mentioned?"

"Ye-huh, that's it."

"They grow very fast, because there are many. Every time they dig, they can bury their rhizomes back and continue to grow!" The local potato is buried in the soil, but the fruit grows outside. As long as it is planted in a large area, it will definitely reduce a lot of burden for the imperial court.

After listening to Xie Zhiruo's words, Mu Yunting frowned slightly. The local potato tasted really good tonight. He didn't eat too much, but his stomach felt very full. It seems that this is indeed a good way.

He looked down at Xie Zhiruo in his arms. A beautiful smile appeared on Mu Yunting's face. He suddenly found that he didn't seem to know Xie Zhiruo. He didn't know why she knew so many things that the lady could not be in the boudoir. She was like a treasure waiting for him to dig. It seemed In the future, he will explore and explore well. Maybe she knows a lot of things that she doesn't even know!

"You helped me come up with a solution to the problem. How are you going to reward me?"

"Ah? Reward? I, I don't want any reward. I just don't want to see you frown. If things can solve your worries, I feel very satisfied. Xie Zhiruo's voice was very light, without too many gorgeous and pleasant words, and every word was so calm and simple.

Mu Yunting hugged Xie Zhiruo tightly in his heart. What a little woman who would affect his mood!

Put down the fold in your hand and pick up Xie Zhiruo and walk to the inner room...

It wasn't long before there was a groan in the room, a happy gasp, and an ambiguous room...

Shen Yuhua looked at the real gold jewelry and Puyu in the room, which made her dazzle. A few days ago, she wrote a letter to her father and asked her what gift to give to her for the emperor's birthday, but who knew that her father asked someone to send these things today, saying that it was enough for her to choose one.

Looking at the things placed in the room, there are only two words in Shen Yuyan's mind, which is tacky!

Shen Yujuan leaned on the soft couch angrily and rubbed her temples, and her heart was very upset! These days, Mu Yunting has not only not come to her yard once, but also forget it! But he actually went to Xie Zhiruo's yard at night! This makes her unable to stand it!

Before she got married, she was the direct daughter of a master of a country. After marriage, she was a high-ranking princess. How could she be treated like this? Although she tried her best to tell herself that she must calm down and not let the impulse ruin her big things! But every time she thinks of Xie Zhiruo, she feels angry!

Now there are still two days left before the emperor's birthday. She hasn't decided what to send. She also asked Mu Yunting to ask for his opinion, but in the end, she just got Mu Yunting to say, 'It's all up to the crown princess.' Come back if you are so perfunctory!

"Mother, why don't you choose one of these things?" Fei Yun knew that Shen Yuhuan's mood was not very stable recently. Now when she talked to her, she was a little cautious, afraid that she would do something wrong and anger her.

Shen Yuwen looked at the things in the room impatiently, sighed, and sent these tacky things. She didn't know what the emperor would think of me as a princess...

"His Royal Highness is arriving..." The announcement of the maid of honor sounded outside the courtyard.

Hearing the sound, Shen Yuyan suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the direction of the door as if she couldn't believe it. When she realized it, she quickly sat up from the soft couch and held her hair and greeted her at the door.

"See His Royal Highness."

"Ye, get up." As soon as Mu Yunting entered the room, he saw what was in the room and frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Shen Yuyan quickly came forward and explained, "Your Highness, these are all sent by my father..."

"Does the master want to choose the gift of his father's birthday from it?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you prepare yourself this year?" There is a faint reproach in Mu Yunting's words. In previous years, Shen Yuyan would have been ready for these things, but this year... There are more and more things that Shen Yuyan disappointed him...
