Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Just after breakfast, Gu Xiling accompanied Zhou Jin, who was sitting in a bamboo sedan, to stroll in the fields.

There is a wisp of moisture in the air and the rising sun indicates that today will be another sunny day.

The soil in the field became drier and drier, and there was no mud anymore.

The wheat greedily absorbs the energy from the sun and thrives.

Zhou Jin personally drew a picture of the growth of the wheat and asked questions carefully, not wanting to miss any key points.

The old farmers and people from the agricultural department in Zhuangzi carefully recorded the conditions of the soil, especially the moisture and fertility in the soil.

It is divided into ten wheat fields, and different planting methods will produce different wheat.

At the edge of the last field, soybeans were planted. Gu Xiling's eyes lit up and she moved closer to observe.

"Sir, look! The two rows of beans near the wheat field have lush branches, large leaves, and most importantly, many, full pods."

Zhou Jin leaned forward slightly, and followed Gu Xirong's finger. "Xi Ling, it is indeed true! If only a few plants in these two rows were like this, it would not be special. If two whole rows are like this, there must be a reason."

Gu Xirong nodded, then looked at Old Man Li, "Old Man Li, how did the beans grow in previous years? Like these two rows, or like the others?"

Old Man Li replied, "The growth of beans in previous years was similar to this one. These two rows are growing better than last year, and we have already noticed. We have agreed to harvest in five days, thresh these two rows of beans separately, and record the quantity and weight."

"I guess it may be related to the adjacent planting of corn and wheat, which is the focus of our experiment next year. I have written it down, please rest assured, Prince and Madam."

Zhou Jin was overjoyed. "Beans are one of the important foods. Although they don't taste very good, they can fill your stomach and are also very important fodder."

Gu Xirong nodded and praised Old Man Li, "You are very observant. You should be bold in thinking and doing in the future. With more experimental results, you may be able to find a better planting method. Prince, all the farmers responsible for this field will be rewarded."

Zhou Jin smiled and said, "Two taels of silver per person."

Old man Li smiled widely and bowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you, my Lord, for the reward from your Madam!"

Now, these old guys who are good at farming are more careful and serious about farming.

As long as there are new discoveries, you can try them. The expenses are borne by the prince and his wife, but if there are good results, there will be rewards.

What a great thing!

All the farmers are grateful to the Crown Prince and his wife for their kindness!

"Prince, I want to eat some salted beans. Can I pick some and ask the kitchen to make them?" Gu Xiling turned and looked at Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin was suspicious, "Will it taste good if it's just cooked in salt water?"

"I'll let you try some at noon. It's delicious." Gu Xiling chuckled and reached out to pick it.

Old man Li quickly stopped her, "Madam, please just stand there. There are burrs on this thing, and it would be bad if it hurts your hand."

After saying this, Old Man Li went to the field, picked out some low-growing beans that were not yet ripe and had not turned yellow, cut a handful, and asked his eldest grandson to deliver them to the farm.

Just then, Xiuzhu came to report.

"Madam, Miss Xirong has come to the farm and is waiting for you!" Xiuzhu once plotted against Gu Xirong under the instigation of Gu Xiling.

Therefore, when she saw Gu Xirong coming, Xiuzhu immediately ran out to report, not daring to face Gu Xirong alone.

Gu Xiling was startled, then looked at Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin smiled awkwardly, "Madam, I want to stay in the field for a while, you go back first."

He would not bring bad luck to himself. After all, sometimes a wrong word or expression could lead to misunderstanding.

Who made him have such a relationship with Gu Xirong?

If you want to avoid gossip, then stay away from it.

Gu Xiling stood up, straightened her dress, and smiled softly, "Then I'll go back and take a look!"

After Gu Xiling left with her maids and guards, Zhou Jin said to Lai Fu, "Lai Fu, go over and ask."

"Yes!" Lai Fu agreed and chased after him.

At this time, Gu Xirong was sitting on a chair, holding her waist with one hand and touching her belly with the other.

Having been frightened yesterday and having not slept well the previous night, Gu Xirong was not in good spirits today. Even with thick makeup, she could not hide the dark circles under her eyes.

Gu Xiling came in, smiled loudly, and asked, "Sister Rong, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Gu Xirong stood up, her tone more flattering, "Sister Ling, can't I look at you?"

Gu Xiling retreated without leaving a trace. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. This woman dares to do anything when she goes crazy!

"Sister Rong, I see that you are plumper than last time, and you are always caressing your belly with your hands. Are you pregnant?" Gu Xiling changed the subject and vaguely guessed Gu Xirong's purpose.

Xie Jin is worried about Li Guojiu's revenge and is looking for another backer!

However, given her extremely reckless personality towards Xie Jin, she did not seek help from the Changning Marquisate, but went directly to Jinlinwei. Before Li Guojiu killed him, she first confirmed the fact that Li Guojiu intended to embezzle Prince Ning's treasure.

However, if you get close to Jinlinwei, you will be disliked by both civil officials and military generals, and your future career will be difficult.

Gu Xirong was still counting on Xie Jin's promotion, wealth and becoming the Regent Princess. How could she allow Xie Jin to do this?

At least seek help from Changning Marquis' Mansion first. In case you can get help, you won't have to seek help from Jinlin Guards!

Seeing Gu Xiling pointing it out, Gu Xirong unconsciously stroked her belly again, "Sister Ling is very observant, it's only been two months."

Hearing this, Gu Xiling pretended to exclaim, "It's been two months, and the fetus hasn't settled down yet. How can you run around casually? If something happens, I can't take the responsibility. Sister Rong, what's going on? Xiuzhen, help your master sit down quickly."

"You all go down!" Gu Xirong sat down again and waved her hand.

Gu Xiling also nodded, "Go out, I want to catch up with my sister."

When there were only two people left in the living room, Gu Xirong stopped beating around the bush and said, "Sister, if I hadn't reminded you, Changning Marquis's Mansion would not have been able to escape Prince Ning's scheme. How are you going to repay this favor?"

Gu Xiling was stunned for a moment, then smiled, looking at the host with a critical look, "Sister Rong, what are you talking about? At that time, I used the secret of the medicinal materials to exchange for your reminder."

Gu Xirong knew that Gu Xiling was not easy to get rid of, but now it was a critical moment for the Xie family, and she had to come up with something that would make Gu Xiling feel that the Xie family was worth helping.

"Sister Ling, don't you want to know why I was able to know in advance that the price of medicinal materials would rise sharply? Don't you want to know why I was able to know in advance that Prince Ning would cause a rebellion?"

The Xie family has no money and no power, and they have nothing that the Changning Marquisate would value.

After thinking about it, Gu Xirong felt that it was only her "special ability"!

Gu Xirong was startled, picked up the teacup, lowered her eyes, took a few sips, and sneered in her heart.

I originally thought that Gu Xirong was stupid enough to tell Xie Jin about her precognitive dreams, but I didn’t expect that she would still talk about it in public. Isn’t she afraid of being tied up and burned as a heretic?

Since Gu Xirong was seeking death, Gu Xiling would not stop her.

She was courting her own destruction. Even if she didn't do anything, Gu Xirong and Xie Jin would step by step fall into the abyss and be unable to extricate themselves.
