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

Several guards from the Marquis of Changning's Mansion were also on high alert, protecting their master.

"Prince, who are these people?" Gu Xiling was stunned, looking puzzled.

Zhou Jin looked puzzled and stood on tiptoe to look around. "Oh no, there are a lot of people at the wheat field. Could they be people sent by the Xie family again?"

Before Zhou Jin finished speaking, Gu Xiling had already rushed over, holding up the hem of her skirt, running very fast.

If it was really the Xie family, Gu Xiling would knock on the Xie family's door and slap Gu Xirong twice.

"This..." Zhou Jin shook his head and laughed, and hurriedly chased after him, "Xi Ling, slow down. Even if the Xie family is doing something bad, you can't go up and argue in person. If they hurt you, what will you do?"

Zhou Jin ran very fast, but couldn't catch up.

Gu Xiling tiptoed the ground with her skirt fluttering. She was about to ask something, but was surprised to see Old Man Li laughing so hard that his teeth were showing.

"Uncle Li, what are you so happy about?" Gu Xiling could only see the backs of these people and not their fronts.

Old man Li smiled and said, "Yes, Madam. This gentleman is passing by here and has never seen Fanmai. I am talking about it now."

Because of Gu Xiling, the guards were on high alert.

At this time, Eunuch Huang turned around.

When Gu Xiling saw the man with a fair face and no beard, she recognized him at a glance as Huang Bing, the eunuch beside His Majesty.

But she had not met Huang Bing yet, so she could not show that she knew him.

The emperor came in person, proving that he still cared about the talented Zhou Jin.

At this time, Gu Xiling certainly would not miss the opportunity to speak well of Zhou Jin.

When they were alone, she would act like a spoiled brat and scold Zhou Jin, but outside, Gu Xiling would defend Zhou Jin and the Changning Marquisate without hesitation.

No matter how independent she is, she has to admit that in this world, the husband's honor is the wife's.

Her husband is her face, and she values ​​him more than anyone else.

"Then please look at it, but don't touch it. Don't destroy the crops that have grown with so much effort."

"My husband planted this himself. He worked hard, facing the earth and his sweat would break into eight pieces when it fell on the ground. It was very hard work. Please respect my husband's labor."

Emperor Kangping heard the clear voice behind him, every word of which was defending Zhou Jin, and he felt deeply moved.

Zhou Jin married a virtuous wife.

At this time, Zhou Jin had already caught up. He used to be a close minister of the emperor and could see Emperor Kangping almost every day.

Even though Emperor Kangping hadn't turned around yet, Zhou Jin had already recognized his back.

Zhou Jin immediately bowed and saluted, "Greetings to Your Majesty. I didn't know Your Majesty was coming. Please forgive me. My wife has never met Your Majesty. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

Gu Xiling was stunned when she heard this, and quickly bowed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Emperor Kangping then slowly turned around and spoke in a gentle voice, but his majesty as an emperor was evident without him being angry.

"No need to be polite! I won't blame those who don't know!"

"Zhou Jin, I'm quite surprised that you can settle down and farm."

Zhou Jin answered respectfully: "Actually, this is all my wife's advice. She said that I am used to seeing beautiful scenery and bright moons, and I only see the clouds in the sky, but I don't feel the soil under my feet."

"Instead of writing those sad poems for the sake of writing new words, it is better to ask the old farmers how to farm, how to pay taxes, and how to make a living. 'Lamenting the hardships of people's lives' cannot be left in books."

Zhou Jin's words made Emperor Kangping's eyes sparkle.

He admired Zhou Jin's beautiful articles very much, but he did not dare to entrust him with important tasks.

This uncertainty is due to this point.

Emperor Kangping's purpose in punishing Zhou Jin was also for this reason.

However, he did not expect that Zhou Jin did not understand his profound meaning, and this Gu pointed out Zhou Jin's shortcomings incisively and accurately.

Not only that, Gu can also work with Zhou Jin.

At this time, Gu Xiling's pretty face seemed even more wise and virtuous in the eyes of Emperor Kangping.

Look at this Gu, he is only sixteen years old, but he has such insights, which is really good.

Looking at the perfect couple in front of him, Emperor Kang Ping smiled and said, "Zhou Jin, you have married a virtuous wife."

Zhou Jin smiled lightly, his eyes full of joy, "Your Majesty is right. It is my humble servant's great honor to marry Xi Ling in this life."

Emperor Kangping looked up and saw that it was getting late. "Zhou Jin, since you care about farming, I will let you do the work of compiling the Kang Dynasty Agricultural Book, okay?"

Zhou Jin said modestly, "I thank your majesty for your kindness, but I know that I only know a little about farming and am not qualified to take on such a great responsibility."

"The Ministry of Agriculture also has many experienced officials who are more suitable for compiling agricultural books than this humble minister."

This is his truth.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to do it, it’s okay to do it in private.

But if your majesty gives an order, it is a government matter. How can you bypass the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Agriculture to do these things?

Emperor Kangping pondered for a moment and said, "Then I will transfer you to the Ministry of Agriculture tomorrow to be in charge of compiling agricultural books."

Zhou Jin was of course happy to hear this. Originally, he wanted to compile an agricultural book, so he had to look up various materials.

Where is the most complete information?

Of course it’s Sinongsi!

Not only does it contain data on crops and land of the current dynasty, but it also contains data on crops and land of the previous dynasty, and even the dynasty before that.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best to compile an agricultural book for our Kang Dynasty to benefit the people of the world."

Emperor Kangping smiled and said, "That's great!"

"Farewell, Your Majesty." Zhou Jin and Gu Xiling hurriedly bowed and saw Emperor Kangping off.

Old man Li got up from the ground only after everyone had left.

Although his body was trembling, his spirit was high.

"Prince, Madam, just now...was that His Majesty? Our Kang Dynasty's Majesty?"

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "Master Li, our emperor is wise and loves the people like his own children. Don't be afraid."

Old man Li slapped his thigh and showed his gap teeth excitedly, "I never thought that I, Li, would be able to see His Majesty at the age of sixty-six. His Majesty even asked me how to farm. I can be considered to have brought honor to my family."

Zhou Jin chuckled, that was indeed the case.

The Recorder's Association recorded in the Emperor's Diary: The emperor went on a private visit in disguise and met an old farmer and asked him about farming matters.

The old farmer here is Old Man Li.

Gu Xiling nodded and laughed crisply, "Yes, you are now farming for the prince and teaching him farming. The prince will also write about you in the farming book, and your name will go down in history."

"You must take good care of yourself and live a long life. I look forward to the day when the agricultural book is completed."

Old Man Li was full of energy and said, "Thank you Madam, the prince's wife for reminding me. I will take note of it and do my best."

As the sun sets, Zhou Jin and Gu Xiling walk onto a path in the fields.

Zhou Jin looked at Gu Xiling who was walking in front of him, swinging the dogtail grass in his hand.

Just now, Zhou Jin talked about his wife in front of His Majesty, and the pride and praise in his tone were beyond words.

At that moment, there was not a single bad thing about Gu Xiling in his mind, only good things about her.

At that moment, Zhou Jin was sure that Gu Xiling had entered his heart and was firmly imprinted there.

Looking at his wife's slender and beautiful back, Zhou Jin took a few quick steps.

He snatched the dogtail grass from Gu Xiling's hand, held Gu Xiling's hand, and looked straight ahead.

Zhou Jin didn't dare to look at Gu Xiling's reaction, and found a lame and childish excuse for himself, "Xiling, I think your hands are a little cold."
