Chapter 402 Who would have expected her surname to be a pig?
"That's right!"
The place where Xie's side branch now lives used to be the Qingwei Garden of the Xie family's mansion. Later, a house was built separated from it. There were indeed several old peach trees there, and there happened to be one in the yard of Xie Yue's family.
"What did he dig up the peach trees for?"
It’s easy to dig but hard to plant, right?”
"I'm surprised too." Xie Zhu reached out and pinched her chin, then thought for a moment and said, "It's not because you want to eat peaches, right? Although the peaches from the old peach trees in our house are not particularly good, they are pretty good.
Not bad.”
Xie Yixiao: "?!"
"There are so many peach trees in the world that can produce delicious peaches, so he won't come to our house to dig them."
Speaking of peach trees, Xie Yixiao raised his eyes and looked next door to the yard.
There are also several peach trees between Chunxueyuan and Zuihuayuan, which were transplanted before. They are blooming now, with clusters of pink peach blossoms dyed on the branches, which really look beautiful.
But these peach trees are beautiful in bloom, but they bear very few fruits, which are sour and astringent and not tasty.
Xie Zhu thought for a while, then stared at her several times.
Xie Yixiao was puzzled by her look: "What do you think I am doing?"
Xie Zhu said oh, and said in a long voice: "Yes, there are so many peach trees in the world that can produce good peaches. Why did Ninth Master bring people to ask our family?"
"Is it because of you, little aunt?"
"Me?" Xie Yixiao blinked, "Why is it because of me?"
Ji Danshu couldn't help laughing: "Auntie, you are confused. It's naturally because you like it. Otherwise, why would the Ninth Young Master come to someone else's house to dig up a tree?"
Xie Yixiao: "....?!"
Her whole body froze, that's impossible, right?
How can Mr. Jiu do such a thing as ‘smiling for a beauty’?
Not really.
And this behavior sounds a bit childish.
"It's not necessarily me. Madam Rong Guogong ate our fruit when she came last time and she thought it was very good. Maybe it's because Madam Rong Guogong likes it."
In the garden of Prince Ding's Mansion, in addition to flowers, there are also many fruit trees planted.
Mrs. Rong Guogong has no other hobbies, she just likes to eat some fruits. The farm where she went to Rong Guogong's house had planted many fruit trees, all to supply the house.
Although Ninth Young Master is always disliked by his old mother, he is still a filial child and has not forgotten his old mother.
Xie Zhu obviously didn't believe it: "Really?"
If it is really for Mrs. Rong Guogong, all you need to do is find a good tree for growing peaches, and there is no need to come to Xie's house to dig, right?
Xie Yixiao quickly said: "It must be, but have the trees at Xie Yue's house been dug up?"
"Not yet, but it will be soon." This tree has been rooted for twenty years. If others want it, the Xie family may not agree, but if the Ninth Young Master wants it, that is a different matter.
After all, it is just a peach tree. If it is really dug up, just find another one and plant it. Maybe the fruit will be more delicious.
Xie Yixiao reached out and pinched the beads, feeling a little funny in her heart.
.
Li Chongyang on the other side hurriedly entered the palace after receiving the imperial edict. However, he heard that His Majesty and His Highness were still busy with political affairs, so he waited in the side hall.
He waited until the sun set, the sky became dim, and the lanterns in the temple were lit, then he was summoned to go in.
I had just entered and was about to pay homage, but I saw the prince sitting squarely on the desk where the emperor used to sit.
The prince was born somewhat similar to the emperor, and his appearance was also very good. However, compared to the emperor, he looked more gentle, steady and restrained, but not lacking in majesty. When he sat there, he was like a bright moon in the sky, reflecting the heaven and earth.
.
Li Chongyang was stunned for a moment, his heart skipped a beat, and he even forgot to salute.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled: "But you are here to see your father?"
Li Chongyang bowed his head and paid homage: "Chongyang pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."
His Royal Highness the Prince was still smiling and said: "Get up. I just saw my father resting in the side hall. It's not good to disturb him, so I asked you to wait. Now that my father has also gotten up, you can go ahead."
Li Chongyang felt complicated for a moment, and finally he could only say: "Thank you, Your Highness."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded, and then said: "But the position of princess is not a child's play. If you want to marry a wife, she will be the royal daughter-in-law in the future, and not everyone can become it."
Even if you are not very virtuous or capable, at least you can't make trouble all the time and make people laugh at the royal family, right?
Li Chongyang paused for a moment and was about to say a few good words for Gu You, when His Highness the Crown Prince said again: "When the official went to the Changning Marquis Mansion to announce the decree, the daughter of the Gu family openly resisted the decree and refused to accept it. She also blamed her father.
have a finger in the pie."
Li Chongyang's heart skipped a beat and his face almost turned black. The corners of his mouth twitched and he was speechless for a moment.
Even though he wanted to fight for it, who would have thought that his teammate's surname was Pig!
"Okay, go ahead." His Royal Highness lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him.
Li Chongyang lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me."
After saying that, Li Chongyang followed the escort who led the way through a door and went to the side hall at the back.
The emperor had a comfortable sleep, and he wanted to continue to be lazy. Looking at the bright lights in the next door room, the prince was still busy, and he couldn't even get enough to eat, and then he had many thoughts of giving up his burden.
He is old, right?
Even if you want to abdicate, isn't this normal?
It makes no sense that Rong Guogong's old man can just quit his job and enjoy his happiness, but he has to sit in this position and work hard to death?
When Li Chongyang came, he was finishing a bowl of porridge and felt that he was in a good mood and relaxed.
Li Chongyang saw him sitting on a wooden couch with a table in front of him and some food on it. He must have been having a meal.
The emperor's life was simple. Although all the cooks in the imperial kitchen were good at cooking, he could cook as much as he wanted for a meal, and there was rarely any luxury or waste.
Li Chongyang just glanced at it and did not dare to look more. Then he went forward to pay homage: "Chongyang pays homage to your majesty."
When the emperor saw him coming, his face became pale, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, as if it had never been there before.
He thought he was very kind to his eldest brother's grandson, but he didn't expect that he would have such thoughts and even want to covet the throne.
"It's the Double Ninth Festival. What are you doing here? Is it about the marriage?" The emperor's expression was as friendly as usual.
Li Chongyang replied: "It is precisely because of this matter that I replied to Your Majesty."
The emperor smiled and said: "Originally, I shouldn't have cared about your affairs. Although your grandparents, father and mother are gone, you still have your mother. But you are already in your mid-twenties this year, and you are not young anymore. Marriage cannot be a major issue.
