Quick Travel: The Story of Your Highness's Pampering of Her Husband

Xuanyuan Xi's side had just finished the storm and was preparing for the second battle when the maid's voice came in again.

"Sir, Madam, Manager Yang sent someone to deliver a message, saying that His Royal Highness and his entourage would like to have lunch at our house."

Xuanyuan Xi: "..."

"Understood, you go down first."

Frustrated, she lay down on Xiao Yiwen's soft and fair body. She bit the other person's fleshy earlobe and said vaguely: "I must let that dog prince know that bad people and good deeds will be punished!"

Xiao Yi smiled sullenly and reached out to rub the woman's hair, "Okay, don't blame others. Who told us to do bad things in broad daylight? God can't even look at it."

They asked for a bucket of water, rinsed quickly, and then went to the kitchen to make arrangements.

Because he lived for a long time and the transportation of supplies was inconvenient, Xuanyuan Xi had already asked his servants to divide the land, plant various vegetables and fruit trees, and raise some common chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cattle and sheep to be self-sufficient.

Therefore, there is no shortage of food, and all the idle servants in the house are all active. The women go to pick and wash vegetables, and the men go to help kill pigs and sheep.

The cook in the house was trained by Xiao Yi and was very skilled. The two discussed the recipe and after deciding on it, they ordered the chef to start with the cold dishes and the cooks helped arrange the dishes.

Fortunately, there were not too many people who followed, only more than 100 people. The other escorting troops and palace maids went directly to the place where the prince stayed. Otherwise, the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks would not be enough.

Ten minutes later, everyone returned to Ji's house, and Xiao Yi stepped forward to greet them.

The prince and other officials were led into the dining room by Xiao Yi. The servants and some low-level officials were also led to the living room to dine by the butler. As for the eunuchs and maids, they were arranged to sit down in the place where servants usually eat.

Ice basins had been placed in advance, and the temperature in the restaurant made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.The prince was sitting on the main seat, and he pulled Xiao Yi to sit on his right side. However, he couldn't refuse, so Xiao Yi sat down.

After the others sat down in order, the maids brought warm water and cotton towels for everyone to wash their hands and sweat, and then put on tea to clean their mouths, and then filed out.

Then, the maids in green clothes began to serve the dishes one after another, holding porcelain plates in their hands.

The first thing that was served was all salads and ready-made dishes, and a plate of fruit salad was mixed with the yogurt that the two of them had made before. As for the wine, the wine that was served was also the wine that the two of them had taught others to make.

Except for a eunuch who stayed beside the prince to test the dishes and a palace maid who served the dishes, the other officials standing behind them were all maids from the Ji family. However, the etiquette was not bad at all and the service was very considerate.

The novel dishes tasted unexpectedly delicious, refreshing and not greasy. Nangong Rui also had a great appetite and used a few more chopsticks.

Next came stir-fried vegetables, steamed seafood, fried meat, etc., and then various stews that took a lot of time and effort.

Empty plates were removed one after another, showing that everyone was really hungry and the food was really delicious. It was a feast for both the guests and the host.

Only Magistrate Chang curled his lips sadly.

Humph, why haven’t I seen you serving these dishes to me before?

Xiao Yi indicated with her eyes: "It's delicious, aren't you so shameless and come here often to eat and drink?"

Governor Chang: I think we are already friends.

Xiao Yi: Not really.

Magistrate Chang:...

Xiao Yi couldn't help it. This magistrate Chang felt that he was in love with him, so he started chatting with him as soon as he came to the door. Xixi was so angry that she almost kicked him out several times, let alone entertained him with delicious food and drinks.

No one noticed the quarrel between the two of them. After drinking and eating, they sat on chairs, sipped tea, and chatted with contented expressions.

Nangong Rui looked at the news on the side and asked seriously: "Ji Juren, it is now the autumn harvest season, and the second season of rice in the southern region is about to be sown. Time waits for no one, and I will not go around in circles with you. , the imperial court has bought all the rice seeds in your land, just tell me how much it will cost."

"As for the other rewards, we will wait for the emperor father's decree."

Xiao Yi was not good at playing tricks, so he was very happy that the prince could go straight in. If the discussion was completed earlier, he could go back to accompany Xixi earlier.

Being stared at with fiery eyes by the table full of old men aged between 60, [-] and [-] years old, Xiao Yi felt a little uncomfortable, but it was not like he had never experienced larger occasions, so he cleared his throat and replied with a smile: "After the rice seeds are harvested, Your Highness, the Prince, can take people to transport them directly. The students will not receive a penny. There is no need for rewards or anything like that."

He and Xixi now live a very prosperous life. They really don't care about gold, silver, jewelry, official titles, etc., and they don't want the trouble.

There are only two mouths and two bodies in total. How much can be eaten?They have no shortage of filial piety from their parents, and no matter how much money or power there is, no one will inherit it, so they simply don't want it.

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole hall was silent. Everyone had incredible expressions on their faces. Even Prince Nangong Rui couldn't help but be a little surprised.

After coming back to his senses, he took a sip of tea, calmed down his mind, and then continued: "Ji Juren's righteousness is already known, but what should be given must still be given. The court cannot take such a great benefit in vain."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, in fact, these rice seeds are not important. What is important is the breeding method of hybrid rice."

Xiao Yi analyzed the pros and cons of hybrid rice to everyone.

It turns out that this hybrid rice cannot be planted by itself, otherwise the yield will still decline, and it needs to be bred and distributed every year.

"Students with this breeding method can submit it to the court for free, but there is one more thing I hope your Highness will agree to."

Nangong Rui had regained his composure. After hearing what Xiao Yi said, he smiled gently and asked, "What's the matter?"

Could it be that Ji Juren refused so many things before to make more excessive demands?

Xiao Yi didn't show off, and said straightforwardly: "I, the Crown Prince of Zhuangzi, can send someone to take over directly, but the servants on Zhuangzi are all veterans who are used to doing this. I hope that His Highness the Crown Prince can keep them and give them a Life security.”

Nangong Rui didn't expect that the other party made such a request. It seemed that he judged a gentleman with a villain's heart. Ji Juren was a truly noble and talented person.

"I can guarantee this."

After the matter was agreed upon, all the adults looked at Xiao Yi with admiration, especially the Minister of Household Affairs who was in charge of taxation. He looked at Xiao Yi as if he were a boy raking in money.

When he came, Master Shangshu gave him many instructions, saying that the state treasury did not have much money, so he must keep the price down when buying rice seeds.

As a result, he didn't spend a penny and overfulfilled the task.

Everyone praised Xiao Yi in various ways, rested for a while, and then followed the prince to the fields to see the harvest scene.

Xiao Yi still refused to stay and hid in the backyard to accompany Xuanyuan Xi.Warm fragrant nephrite, whispering soft words, so happy.

Such a strong sun can tan him in no time, and it's so hot, so why would a fool just stand there blindly?
