What does the Prince of Dingbei want to do by planting sweet potatoes secretly? Is he preparing for a food rebellion?
Even if the Dingbei Palace does not have this intention, even if they really just want to improve the lives of the people, they cannot stop those in high positions from having random thoughts.
So, it’s better to bring things to light directly.
"Let's plant it together. What will you do if the emperor is unhappy?"
"This is easy to do. When cutting, let the fourth brother and the young prince come to Zhuangzi together, and each of them can share a bit, so that the Dingbei Palace will not be out of place." He Yunxi said.
"If that's the case, wouldn't you lose a lot?"
"What does this have to do with it? No matter how much I plant, I will definitely donate it all to the imperial court." He Yunxi said, "And I donated so much to the imperial court, so it makes sense for the Dingbei Palace to go to Beidi."
Although the Northland was allocated to the Dingbei Palace, it was also the land of the Liang Kingdom. If the emperor gave it to other people, the Dingbei Palace would take the Northland back to the common people, and the emperor would not disagree.
"How do you know that fourth brother will stay in the capital?" he asked.
"I heard from Jin'an that she will stay in the capital instead of Prince Zhennan, so I know that the emperor wants to keep the sons of various princes in the capital." He Yunxi responded.
He Jingshen remembered that she had a very good relationship with Liang Jinan.
"We still have half a month to go, which should be when the results of the proficiency test come out."
They should have gone back a long time ago, but King Xian and the others didn't want to go back, so they made excuses. Since they didn't go back, there was no need for him to worry as an injured person.
"Then I'll come back and see you off."
"That's no need. There will definitely be a lot of people paying attention when we leave."
He Yunxi thought about it and stopped mentioning the matter.
"Brother, let me feel your pulse."
She checked He Jingshen and found that he was recovering well, but she was afraid that he would be plotted against him later, so she told him not to drink, lest someone ask him to drink and cause trouble.
Later, He Jingshen used this as an excuse to say he couldn't drink.
Don't ask, because if you ask, your benefactor, the doctor, won't allow it.
After He Yunxi inspected him, he asked him to leave a few acres of land on the farm for spring planting, and then went back.
Before leaving, He Jingshen had two big boxes brought over and put all the books in the study into them, leaving none for He Jingtai.
In his words: "He is a person who falls asleep as soon as he reads a book. When he is not reading, he drools and destroys the book."
The carriage was waiting outside. Because the two boxes were too big, He Jingshen sent another carriage.
However, when the boy was moving the box, his hand slipped and the box fell over. The lid opened and many books inside fell out.
When the housekeeper saw this, he said distressedly: "Oh, why did you so stupid throw the box? These books are so precious!"
The two boys picked up the books while admitting their mistake, and then carried the box to the carriage. Then they held the carriage and followed He Yunxi's carriage.
The people who were staring at the Dingbei Palace saw He Yunxi carrying two boxes of books back. They thought that her husband was a civil servant, and thought that it was normal for the Dingbei Palace to give the books to her.
He Yunxi watched the butler shouting in the carriage and laughed silently.
Those who can be housekeepers in the capital are indeed thoughtful people.
When they got home, Mrs. Liu and the others had already packed up. Even Lu Yu had packed up the things he had used all night, saying that he was going to see his mother off and would be back with his eldest brother tomorrow.
He Yunxi didn't care, and the group returned to Zhuangzi. She told Mrs. Liu and immediately went into the laboratory.
Lu Yan: "..." Alas, he is indeed a poor little man with no one to accompany him.
The next day, he took Lu Yu back to the capital.
As a result, as soon as he got home, he was dragged out for a drink by Yu Shaoyu, along with Huang Yumin, who had just finished his exam.
Lu Yan and Huang Yumin have not seen each other since before the Chinese New Year when he went to give him a New Year gift.
He had thought before that he could share some good information with Xie Yuanming when he came across it, but after seeing his concubine, he had no other thoughts.
He Yunxi is so outstanding, it is normal to feel love for her.
If Huang Yumin simply and secretly liked her, Lu Yan wouldn't be so angry. But he asked his concubine to imitate He Yunxi, which disgusted Lu Yan, so much so that he unilaterally ended the friendship between the two as classmates for the past two years.
.
Yu Shaoyu and Huang Yumin didn't know why he didn't come out after the New Year, but they thought he was busy studying.
Yu Shaoyu did not take the exam, but he was curious about the results of the two of them. Lu Yan said lightly: "It's acceptable."
Huang Yumin showed a wry smile: "The questions in the general examination are still much difficult for me, and I have almost no hope of winning."
Yu Shaoyu comforted him: "It doesn't matter. Your previous plan was just to test the waters. You can't try again in three years."
Huang Yumin felt bitter in his heart.
Three years, how many things can happen in three years?
Looking at Lu Yan's behavior, it is certain that he will win the ranking. If he wins the ranking, he will be awarded an official position. He may have been promoted in three years.
He is more capable and knowledgeable than himself. In another three years, he may not be able to catch up with him in his entire life.
He didn't speak, just drank from the glass.
Lu Yan saw Huang Yumin's thoughts and lowered his eyes without saying a word.
If Huang Yumin hadn't told his concubine to imitate He Yunxi, and if it weren't for the fact that he still cared about Yu Shaoyu and couldn't tell Yu Shaoyu directly, he wouldn't have come out today.
At this time, someone opened the door and came in. When he saw Lu Yan, he said in a strange way: "Hey, isn't this a member of Lu University? He came out to celebrate just two days after the exam? He seems to be very confident. I wonder how many people he will be.
ah?"
The person who opened the door and walked in was a Juren named Huang, who used to be the head of the case in their house. He had met Xie Yuanming when he took Lu Yan out to attend a gathering of literati.
After Lu Yan came to the capital, he also attended some Juren gatherings. Except that Xie Yuanming took him there at the beginning, others sent him messages later. Especially after New Year's Eve, many people knew that he was Xie Yuanming's student.
, everyone who knows him or not can send him a message.
Lu Yan picked a few and got to know more people.
This Huang Juren only met at a party, and then he was hated by him.
Without him, Lu Yan was more talented and was Xie Yuanming's student, so everyone was more willing to support him.
In addition to Huang Juren, there were several students following him, some of whom had participated in the examination this time, and some who had not.
And this group of people just pushed the door open and entered, looking very arrogant.
