Due to the lack of interaction, Li Zhi felt bored after playing for a while and said to Li Lizhi: "Sister Huang, I want to eat corn."
Li Lizhi was a little far away and did not hear Li Zhi's words clearly. She thought Li Zhi was talking to Lin Wanxi and did not respond.
But Lin Wanxi heard it clearly and whispered: "There is corn outside my house, but I don't know why my brother won't let it be eaten."
Li Zhi's eyes lit up and he asked: "Is there corn outside your house?"
"Well, there are many, many." Lin Wanxi gestured with her little hand.
Li Zhi swallowed and said, "Take me to pick corn."
Lin Wanxi was a little moved. She was also thinking about the taste of corn, and she had never eaten the roasted corn that Lin Xuan mentioned.
Lin Xuan didn't tell Lin Wanxi how important corn was because she couldn't understand it either.
Just tell her that corn is very important and cannot be eaten anymore.
Lin Wanxi didn't think corn was very important. She knew that there were a lot of corn grown outside, but Lin Xuan was very strict when she spoke, and she didn't dare to break the corn behind Lin Xuan's back.
She didn't know what the prince represented. She only knew that her brother Lin Xuan would salute Li Zhi. If he took Li Zhi to break the corn, Lin Xuan would be fine if he knew about it.
"But my sister-in-law won't let us go." Lin Wanxi glanced at Li Lizhi who was not far away and said.
Li Zhi rolled his eyes and said, "Look at me."
After saying that, Li Zhi came to Li Lizhi with Lin Wanxi's confused eyes.
"Sister Huang, she said she wanted to take me somewhere else to play," Li Zhi said.
"Where are you going? Sister Huang will send you there." Li Lizhi said.
"Sister Huang, please stop following us, we can just go and play by ourselves." Li Zhi said.
He also wanted to pick corn, so how could he let Li Lizhi follow him.
"This..." Li Lizhi hesitated.
It's not that I'm worried about Li Zhi and Lin Wanxi being alone. After all, they are both five or six-year-old children, so what do they know?
Even if I understand, my body won’t allow it.
She was mainly worried about what would happen to Li Zhi at the Lin family.
"Sister Huang, there will be so many people following us, nothing will happen." Li Zhi pointed to the waiting eunuchs, maids, and guards.
Naturally, it was impossible for Li Zhi to come alone when he went out. There were more than a dozen people here including palace maids and eunuchs, not to mention the guards to protect him.
Although most of the people in the Lin family were waiting elsewhere, there were still two palace maids and two eunuchs waiting on them. There was also a group of ten forbidden troops, led by a school captain, accompanying them for protection.
"Okay, but you can't bully Wanxi." Li Lizhi warned.
She hadn't seen Li Chengqian for a long time and wanted to catch up with him.
In addition, Li Lizhi suddenly had the idea that it would be good if Lin Wanxi could marry Li Zhi.
The two of them are still young, and it's still early for them to talk about marriage, but it's not a bad thing for them to spend more time together.
"Don't worry, Sister Huang, I'm a man, how can I bully a woman?" Li Zhi said seriously.
If an adult said this, it would be nothing, but if a five-year-old child said it, it would feel weird no matter what.
Coupled with Li Zhi's expression, Li Lizhi couldn't help but laugh.
Li Zhi looked at Li Lizhi with some confusion, wondering why his sister suddenly laughed.
"Okay, you can play by yourself, I'll leave first." Li Lizhi said.
Although Li Lizhi asked Li Zhi and Lin Wanxi to play together, she was still a little worried and kept Qing Yi behind so that she could know in time if anything happened.
Li Zhi watched Li Lizhi leave with a happy face. He ran to Lin Wanxi and said, "My imperial sister is gone. Please take me to pick corns quickly."
"Okay then." Lin Wanxi nodded.
The two left the bamboo forest and walked to the front yard, and the serving maids and eunuchs quickly followed.
Normally, without the consent of Lin Dongyang and the others, the concierge would never have let Lin Wanxi out of the house, but with Li Zhi following him, they would not have dared to stop them, so they just let them out.
Qing Yi originally wanted to stop him, but Li Lizhi only asked her to follow him in case something happened to Li Zhi. He did not say that Li Zhi would not be allowed to leave the house. She didn't know whether she should stop him or not.
After hesitating for a moment, Qing Yi did not stop her. Instead, the concierge went to inform Lin Xuan, and she continued to follow Li Zhi and the others.
After leaving the house, Lin Wanxi led Li Zhi directly to the west.
About a mile west of the Lin family, there is a cornfield.
Not long after, Lin Wanxi brought Li Zhi to the corn field, pointed to the corn in the field and said, "This is corn."
"Is this corn?" Li Zhi looked at the corn on the ground, a little confused.
The corn he saw was all boiled. He had never seen what corn looked like in the field.
Not only corn, but also rice, wheat, etc., he has never seen. It can be said that he can't distinguish between grains.
"Someone, chop up all these corns."
Although Li Zhi didn't know how to turn the corns into the fragrant corn he ate, as long as he knew it was corn, he could directly order people to chop the corns.
When he brings it back, the people from Shangshan Bureau will naturally do it for him.
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, these corns cannot be chopped."
If others don't know the importance of corn, how can she not know it?
Lin Xuan was scolded by His Majesty just because he broke some corn.
If Li Zhi chops up the corn, Li Zhi will naturally be fine, but slaves like them will be in big trouble.
Li Zhi was thinking about the corn and ignored Qing Yi's words.
Seeing that Li Zhi didn't speak, the Imperial Guards drew out the knives from their waists and prepared to go down to the ground to chop corn.
Qing Yi anxiously looked back at the road, and saw that no one was coming, and the imperial army was about to chop the corn, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, if you want to eat the corn, you don't need to chop it, you just need to break it off."
Since he couldn't stop it, Qing Yi tried to minimize his guilt.
Compared with chopping corn, breaking off a few corns should be much lighter.
"How do you break this corn?" Li Zhi had a reaction.
Qing Yi gritted his teeth, went down to the field, broke off a piece of corn, and said, "That's it."
Without Li Zhi saying anything, the Imperial Guards put away their swords and broke off the corn.
There were two people lying in the grass on a hillside a few miles away from Li Zhi. Ever since Li Zhi led the people to the cornfield, the two of them had been looking here with binoculars.
When they saw the forbidden soldiers pulling out their knives and going to the fields to chop corn, the two men's expressions changed drastically and they were ready to send out an emergency signal.
Although they recognized that those people were the Forbidden Army, the order they received was to protect the corn. If they only broke off a few, they could naturally report it to the people above and wait for the people above to deal with it.
But the other party is about to cut down the corn. If they report it step by step, the corn will be damaged too much, and both of them will be held accountable.
Just when one of them was about to release the signal, the other person saw that things had taken a turn for the better and quickly stopped him.
When they saw each other put away the knife, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hurry up and report to your lord, there are imperial guards in this group of people. It should have been ordered by some prince or princess. It is beyond our control." One of them said to the other.
