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

Seeing that Zhou Jin misunderstood, Zhou Da explained in a low voice, "The Crown Prince's wife knows martial arts, and her skills are not low."

"This..." Zhou Jin was stunned and couldn't believe it. "How could Xi Ling know martial arts? Didn't she grow up in a farming family?"

Zhou Da thought for a moment, "The Crown Prince's wife should have had a strange encounter, but it's also good to know martial arts. The Crown Prince's wife is healthier than the average woman."

Lai Fu comforted him, "Prince, you and his wife love each other, and you don't fight with each other. Even if his wife is more powerful than you, you don't need to worry."

Zhou Jin glared at Lai Fu and said, "Lai Fu, you have a point, but don't say it again in the future."

His arrogant yet fragile self-esteem was hurt!

Lai Fu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and smiled awkwardly, "Prince, I am doing this for your own good. If you want to become stronger, why don't you practice martial arts with Master Zhou?"

Although Zhou Jin had practiced sword skills before, he didn't like the sticky and sweaty feeling of practicing martial arts, so his martial arts skills could only be described as fancy moves.

The actual combat effect is very poor.

Zhou Jin looked at Zhou Da, "Zhou Da, do you think it's too late for me to practice martial arts now?"

Zhou Da pondered for a moment and felt it necessary to give the prince more encouragement.

"Practicing martial arts is like studying. You can only make progress if you keep learning until you die. Otherwise, it's like rowing against the current. If you slack off even a little, you will regress. Since you want to learn, it's never too late."

Zhou Jin thought about it and nodded, "Okay, then I will continue practicing martial arts."

Zhou Jin didn't know that his original intention of practicing martial arts was just to avoid being too much worse than Gu Xiling. He didn't know that Zhou Jin's martial arts would improve in the future, and one day he would join the army and lead troops to fight.

When the old lady of Changning Marquis saw Gu Xiling coming back, she smiled kindly, "I just came back from a walk. You don't need to accompany me to continue walking. You and Jin'er should walk more."

The old lady has been anxious ever since she found out that her grandson and his wife haven't consummated their marriage yet.

How can we talk about a good relationship without consummating the marriage?

If the marriage is not consummated, where will her great-grandchildren come from?

When she arrived at the farm, the old lady clearly felt that the relationship between her grandson and his wife was getting better and better.

It's getting dark soon, why should I accompany this old woman?

Shouldn't these two young people be able to talk to each other under the moonlight?

Gu Xiling certainly understood the old lady's thoughts and smiled.

"Madam, His Majesty was just on a private tour in the fields, checking the crops we planted with the seeds we bought from the foreign merchants."

"Your Majesty learned that the Crown Prince was down-to-earth in farming and cared about the people, so he asked the Crown Prince to work in the Ministry of Agriculture and compile agricultural books."

“Although I am not as able to do things in front of His Majesty as before, what the prince does is more practical and meaningful.”

"Your Highness is extremely intelligent and down-to-earth. I'm sure he can compile a good agricultural book to guide the people in farming. In time, he will be remembered in history."

The old woman was shocked when she heard this and happily held Gu Xiling's hand tightly.

"Xi Ling, this is all thanks to you!"

In fact, all of this was led by Gu Xiling.

Sowing seeds and working hard in the fields.

The old lady can feel visible changes in her grandson Zhou Jin, and now he is appreciated by His Majesty for farming.

Gu Xiling said modestly, "In fact, it's not just my credit. My grandmother and my parents-in-law all support me no matter what I say."

"Without your permission, I can't accomplish anything even if I have a thousand ideas!"

"The prince is talented and willing to learn. He is able to recognize his shortcomings in time and correct them. He is becoming more calm and making continuous progress."

At this time, Zhou Jin had already arrived in front of his grandmother's room. Hearing Gu Xiling's praise, his heart was as sweet as honey.

Zhou Jin walked in and bowed to Gu Xiling, "Madam, I am here to greet you! Madam is a role model for a good husband."

The old lady's eyes lit up, as if she discovered that the gap between her grandson and Gu Xiling had disappeared.

This is great news!

Gu Xiling stood up and returned the greeting, "Your Highness, thank you for the compliment. This is Xiling's duty."

What happened that made his grandson look at Gu Xiling with eyes as red as molten sugar?

The old lady smiled and said, "Okay, I won't have dinner, so you don't have to stay here. I'll ask the kitchen to make lotus leaf porridge for you, and I'll have them deliver it to your room later."

Zhou Jin bowed to the old lady and said, "Thank you, Grandma. I have to go back to Beijing to take up a post in the Ministry of Agriculture tomorrow and will not be able to continue to serve you."

The old lady waved her hand and smiled, "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time. Since the court needs you, you must perform your duties faithfully and complete His Majesty's orders. I am doing well on the farm, with servants accompanying me, and I go for a walk in the fields every day."

"I'm keeping an eye on the wheat. I'll have someone record it carefully. Your absence won't have much of an impact. Tomorrow, Xi Ling will follow and return it to you. Young people should live together, manage their families, govern the country, and bring peace to the world."

"You two are good to go, so that other things can go smoothly. Okay, let's go, I need to rest."

Zhou Jin's face was slightly red, but his heart was burning.

Gu Xiling lowered her eyebrows and looked submissive, her face shy.

"Hello, grandma. I'll take my leave now." Zhou Jin said with a smile, and left the main courtyard with Gu Xiling, looking quite intimate.

Watching their backs as they left, the old lady asked hurriedly, "Why are these two people suddenly so close?"

Nanny Yuan had just received the old lady's hint and stayed to reply, "Replying to the old lady, just now the prince and his wife..."

Nanny Yuan didn't want to be too blunt, so she pointed her two fat index fingers together.

The old lady grinned and said, "Good, good! Give all the servants in the yard two months' bonus, ask the kitchen to make wedding cakes, and give six to each farmer's family."

Nanny Yuan was also happy and followed the orders of the Marquis's wife to serve the Crown Prince's wife.

Every time she saw the Crown Prince’s wife making him so angry that he jumped up and down, Nanny Yuan broke out in a cold sweat.

But now seeing that the Crown Prince is in love with his wife, I can't help but sigh in my heart that the Crown Prince's wife is very smart!

If the Crown Prince's wife only has the means to seduce people, no matter whether she is the Marquis's wife or the old lady, she will not be tolerated.

But the Crown Prince's wife is considerate in every way. Not only is she respectful to her elders, but she also considers everything for the Crown Prince.

A worthy wife!

The Old Lady and the Marquis's wife not only do not mind the Crown Prince's wife's methods of controlling the Crown Prince, but they also hope that the Crown Prince can quickly fall in love with the Crown Prince's wife and live in harmony with her husband.

The servants were in high spirits and the farmers also received delicious wedding cakes.

At dinner, Zhou Jin did not follow the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. With a smile in his eyes, he softly explained every dish on the table to Gu Xiling.

Gu Xiling listened carefully. It was just an ordinary lotus leaf porridge, but Zhou Jin could write a poem about it.

How about cooking porridge instead of rice? It’s better to discuss it with your children.

One liter can be used as two liters, and two days' worth of food can be used as six days' worth of food.

If you have guests, just add water and fire; if you have no money, there is no need to ask for soup.

Don’t say that blandness has little flavor, blandness is full of flavor.

(Excerpt from Shen Zhou's "Poem on Cooking Porridge" in the Ming Dynasty)

After careful consideration, Gu Xiling felt that this poem was truly exquisite.

It turns out that the poems written by her husband are not all sad, but also contain the truth that simplicity is the true life.

After eating, talking about poetry, and drawing a picture of children fishing, Zhou Jin still didn't leave.

Gu Xiling's eyes felt a little sore, and she yawned, gently covering her mouth with her jade hand, "Prince, aren't you leaving yet? I'm sleepy!"

"I want to stay here tonight." Zhou Jin mustered up his courage, approached Gu Xiling, and wanted to hug her, but Gu Xiling dodged him.

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Xiling raised her eyebrows when she heard this. She refused without hesitation and pushed Zhou Jin hard, pushing him out the door.

Zhou Jin was totally confused and full of doubts. Could it be that the warmth and kindness shown during the day were all fake?

"You and I love each other, why doesn't Madam let me stay?"
