After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day

This day.

Shen Guidi finally gathered up the strength and walked out of the yard.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

She always felt that this yard seemed much tidier than what she saw that day.

She walked slowly in the yard.

Perhaps it was the season when fruits were ripe, or perhaps there were quite a few fruits on the farm. As she walked in the yard, she could smell the fragrance of fruits.

this line.

Youbai and Yunshu did not come with them, but He Qingchen took the initiative and brought Shen Guidi's four maids with him.

At this moment.

Yaoshu and Xiaoliu were nowhere to be seen, but Chunlan and Jingyue were following her closely.

"Where is the prince?"

Shen Guidi asked as he walked towards the back door of the manor.

Chun Lan lowered her head and replied, "The prince has returned to the capital. This morning he told the servants to tell you that His Majesty urgently summoned him and that he would go back for a while. He will come back as soon as he is done. He left his guard Zhou Hui behind. If there is anything you can ask him to do."

"Back to Beijing?"

Shen Guidi was a little confused.

He Qingchen does not hold any official position in the court. His Majesty would never summon him unless it was necessary, let alone urgently.

Could it be that something happened in Beijing?

"Princess, don't worry. Since the prince said he would be back as soon as possible, it's probably not a big deal. Yaoshu and Xiaoliu have already gone to the orchard. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Jingyue thought for a moment and said so.

"Well, let's go and take a look." After Shen Guidi finished speaking, Jingyue hurriedly led the way.

Zhou Hui and two guards followed closely behind to protect him.

Shen Guiyi followed him as he walked toward the back of the mountain, asking, "Do you know what kind of fruits are grown on this farm?"

"Princess, there are not many types of fruits grown on this farm. Most of them are peaches, oranges, and hazelnuts. I heard that there are also a small number of plums, red apricots, and prunes."

Shen Guidi nodded thoughtfully.

The entire back mountain of Zhuangzi is almost covered with fruit trees.

The fruits were planted according to categories, and now the trees are full of fruits, red, green, yellow... all kinds of them.

Da Zhuang, who was picking fruits from the tree, had sharp eyes.

He saw Shen Guidi and his men coming from afar, and after a quick thought, he went to meet them.

"The villain pays homage to the princess."

Shen Guidi recognized him, responded calmly, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Xiao, my name is Da Zhuang."

Da Zhuang was a little stunned when he heard that. After a long while, he stammered and answered.

Shen Guiyi hummed, and his eyes fell on the baskets of peaches on the ground: "How did you deal with these in the past?"

Everyone followed her gaze.

"My princess, the prince only grows fruit on this farm. The yield of fruit varies from year to year, but most of the time the yield is still very considerable. In the past, according to the prince's instructions, these fruits were only sent to three places.

One is to pack half of the fruit and arrange for someone to deliver it to the southern border military camp;

The remaining half was divided into two parts. One was sent to the Charity Bureau in the suburbs of Beijing to give the children there a taste, and the other was sent to the palace, the Prince of Yan's Mansion, the Prince of Rong's Mansion, and the Duke of Gu's Mansion.

only……"

As Da Zhuang was talking, he thought of the decision that He Qingchen had made two days ago.

Shen Guidi frowned: "Just what?"

"The prince gave instructions two days ago, telling us not to send fruit to the palace, Prince Rong's Mansion, and the Duke's Mansion. The three extra portions will be sent to the prince's mansion for the time being."

It has become a habit for Zhuangzi to send fruits to the palace, the Duke's Mansion and the Prince Rong's Mansion.

The sudden stop of seeing him off made him guess for a while.

Your Majesty is fine, why don’t you send it off?

"You're not sending me off?" Shen Guidi was a little surprised.

According to past habits, He Qingchen would definitely be reluctant to be without He Chengjue and the things in the palace. But now... is he really at odds with the Queen, Duke Gu's Mansion, and even Prince Rong's Mansion?

"Yes, I won't send any of them. But, Princess, the amount of fruit is enough in previous years. This year is a good year, and there are more fruits. If we send all of them to the palace, I'm afraid... we won't be able to preserve them."

Da Zhuang looked at the baskets of fruits and felt a little worried.

Shen Guidi also thought of it.

When she saw the fruit just now, some vague ideas came into her mind. Now that she heard this, the ideas became even stronger.

"Is there a cellar or an ice cellar on the farm?"

"Yes, there are, but it has been abandoned for many years. Now I'm afraid... Are you planning to hide all the fruits in the cellar?" Da Zhuang thought about it carefully.

There are indeed several cellars on the farm.

Before He Qingchen came back, the extra fruits were indeed stored in the cellar, and were only taken out for trade when the time was right.

Ever since he returned to the capital and Zhuangzi came into his hands, there has been no more of this fruit left.

As soon as the fruits fell from the trees, they were sent to the military camp in the south.

Naturally, the cellar would no longer be used.

Shen Guidi didn't respond.

She walked slowly to the basket, took out two peaches and looked at them carefully. After looking at them, her eyes shifted away and fell on the peach tree a few meters away.

"Da Zhuang, this peach is not ripe yet, right?"

Da Zhuang was stunned.

He glanced at the peach and said quickly, "Princess, these peaches are ripe and can be eaten. However, if they can stay on the tree for a few more days, the taste will be purer, sweeter and more delicious."

"Then why?"

"Princess, you don't know. This batch of peaches is to be sent to the southern military camp..."

Shen Guidi understood what was said unfinished at the end.

Normally, these peaches should have been picked from the trees a few days later, but because they were to be delivered to the military camp in the southern border, they had to be picked a few days earlier, when the peaches were still a little raw. The military camp in the south was far from the capital.

Even if we work at full speed it will take at least half a month.

If the peaches are too ripe, no matter how well they are preserved, they probably won't last that long.

We can only settle for the next best thing.

The fruits were picked from the trees a few days earlier.

Shen Guidi expressed his understanding and looked at the mountains of fruits and the people on the fruit trees.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then immediately stopped everyone from taking them off: "Don't pick them yet."

Everyone: "?"

"Da Zhuang, take your men to clean up the cellar. After you're done, store all the fruits that have already fallen from the trees in there. For those that haven't fallen yet, don't move them for now."

"But, in the southern border..."

"Except for those from the Charity Bureau, the others don't need to be sent away for now. I have another way to deal with them. Go and ask them to come down from the tree. I still have something to tell them."

Da Zhuang's eyes were full of surprise.

She was afraid that Shen Guidi didn't understand anything and would give blind orders, and she was also afraid that he would not listen to her and make her angry.

He did not dare to hesitate, and took a few quick steps, then shouted over there: "Come down, don't pick them yet, come down, the princess has something to tell us."
