I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With

Chapter 1021: Famous Chapter 1021: Famous Editor: Atlas Studios With his head buried in his homework, Little Bear said, “Just play along.

Tell your Mother Consort that you’re going to Guangzhou and tell her to take good care of herself.

Tell her you’ll be obedient towards your Fourth Uncle and be done with it.” “No,” Little An immediately retorted.

“Considering you’re a child, you must be very sad to go so far away alone.

Therefore, you should say that you feel scared.

Ask your Mother Consort to quickly come out and save you.” “No way.” Little Lion immediately objected.

“In that case, wouldn’t his Mother Consort be very anxious?

What if she really runs out to save Cousin and finds out that he’s actually not in the palace?

When she finds out about Brother Little Treasure and his secret, they’ll be given a fierce beating.” Tiger Head nodded in agreement.

He tilted his head and said, “Just say that you heard that Guangzhou is very fun and want to play with us.

Children won’t know fear when they’re having fun.

That way, your mother will believe you.” Little Bear objected again.

The four children surrounded the Second Prince in the middle and raised their opinions one by one.

In the end, with everyone’s “help”, Qi Wensu came up with a messy and incoherent letter.

Seeing that it contained the meaning they wanted to express, the three kids nodded in satisfaction and asked Qi Wensu to immediately get the messenger pigeon to send the letter.

Only Little Bear hesitated.

To him, it read like a letter written by a schizophrenic person.

But when he saw that his four younger brothers were very satisfied, and seeing that it was getting late, he shut his mouth and did not speak.

Alas, Concubine Zhao’s intestines nearly broke from crying when she read this letter.

She felt that her son was just suppressing his fear to comfort her.

How could the Emperor bear to send such an obedient son to Guangzhou?

By the time Concubine Zhao was released and the “Second Prince” arrived in Guangzhou, Qi Wensu no longer needed to consult his brothers regarding any more letters.

He heaved a huge sigh of relief and grabbed a pen to write to his Mother Consort again.

This time, it was much simpler.

Hence, Qi Wensu became the busiest of the four children.

Every day, he either had to write letters to his brothers or his parents.

In addition to that, he had to read and play.

Just as Fourth Aunt had said, time disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Just as the young child was lamenting that time passed quickly, Little An’s brother, Little Fu, could already stumble along behind his brothers.

Mu Yangling looked at the group of chattering and shouting children and said, “I feel like I’ve been doing something.” Little Madam Xia was puzzled.

“What is it?” Mu Yangling said solemnly, “A kindergarten principal.” Little Madam Xia burst out laughing and said, “It’s better to say that you’re the estate manager of the farm.

Before the New Year, His Majesty just commended you officially.

Now, all the commoners in the world think highly of you.

If you really want to be a kindergarten principal, you should hurry up and have another child with Fourth Brother.

After all, Tiger Head and Little Lion are already six years old.” Mu Yangling touched her stomach and smiled bitterly.

“Haoran and I also want another daughter, but I haven’t been able to conceive.

I don’t know what’s the problem.” Little Madam Xia leaned close to her ear and said, “I heard that Elder Nun Huizhen of Cining Temple has superb medical skills.

Last time, Mrs.

Yan recommended her to me.

Why don’t we go take a look and also take the chance to pray to the Guanyin of Child-giving?

Maybe that’ll work?” “Imperial Physician Wang said that Haoran and I are in good healthaEUR|” “Although Imperial Physician Wang is an imperial physician, I’m afraid he can’t compare to Elder Nun Huizhen in gynecology.

Besides, you don’t have to think of it as visiting a doctor, just consider it a little excursion.” Little Madam Xia watched her youngest son, Little Fu, stumble behind and tug at Little An’s clothes.

Little An turned around and supported him with one hand while only talking to Little Lion.

With a sigh, she said, “Now that I have two mischievous boys, I want a daughter too.

Daughters are more considerate.” Mu Yangling also felt that her boys were too mischievous and that they should have a daughter to neutralize the situation at home.

She nodded and said, “Alright, let’s find a time to go to Cining Temple.

Even if not to visit a doctor, it’s good to relax.” “Then let’s choose a sunny day so that we can have a comfortable and happy trip.” Little Madam Xia was enthusiastic.

“Leave this to me.” Hearing her say this, Mu Yangling really washed her hands of it and said, “I’ll just show up on the day then.

You can make all the arrangements.” When the children heard that they were going up the mountain to play, they gathered together to discuss the itinerary.

When they went out, they bragged to their friends that they were going on an outing on the mountain in a few days.

In less than two days, the officials’ wives in Guangzhou heard about this from their sons and asked Little Madam Xia for the exact time and place.

They also wanted to join in the fun and take the chance to acquaint themselves with the Princess Consort.

Seeing that there was so much interest, Little Madam Xia was worried that such a big crowd would make for a noisy trip.

For a moment, she was at a loss.

When Fan Zijin saw this, he said, “If you don’t like a big crowd, just seal the mountain.

Why are you conflicted?” Little Madam Xia said speechlessly, “Then what are we going to do on the mountain?” “Then let’s send out invitations and gather all the families to go up the mountain together.

That’d be lively and fun.” Unexpectedly, Little Madam Xia shook her head again and sighed.

“If so many of the officials’ wives head up the mountain, are we going to see them after we go up the mountain?

How are Ah Ling and I going to have any fun if we meet with this and that?

I don’t mind.

Ever since His Majesty personally praised Ah Ling during the New Year, countless people have wanted to meet her.

It’s useless even if we chase them away.” In the past, Mu Yangling was already popular enough as Princess Consort Rong.

However, she expressed that she didn’t like to socialize and rarely went out.

In addition, with Qi Haoran holding the fort, very few people had gone to her.

However, because the harvesting in the past three years was not bad, even the national treasury and the Ministry of Revenue were gradually loosening up.

Especially last year, the north, Jiangnan, southwest, and central regions all had a bumper harvest.

In addition, one can now also pay their taxes with corn.

Although two catties of corn was only equivalent to one catty of rice, it was enough to make the commoners ecstatic.

The taxes from various places were transported back to the capital or stored in the grain warehouses everywhere.

When the account books were completed, not only the Emperor, but even the Ministry of Revenue and the ministers in the court were shocked to see that the national treasury was starting to fill up.

Even when several major irrigation projects such as the Yellow River dredging commenced, everyone did not have to worry about running out of food and funds.

More importantly, the people had more surplus grains that they could store up.

Although not every family could eat rice for every meal, they would at least be full for eight months a year.

It was much better than in the past, where the commoners had to alternate between being full for three months, starving for three months, and being half-starved and half-full for six months.

Those who were in a better situation had already begun to save surplus grains.

These were all great achievements, and the Emperor declared that these great achievements were all thanks to Princess Consort Rong, Mu Yangling.

The corn seeds were given to Emperor Jingyan by Qi Xiuyuan when he was still a general.

However, Qi Xiuyuan now claimed that the corn seeds were obtained by chance by Mu Yangling.

She was also the one who developed the planting techniques, including Dry Rice No.

1, the harvest of No.

2, the improvement of wheat.

Mu Yangling even had a part to play in the widespread planting of Zhancheng Rice in the south and southwest because it was all promoted by her Harvest Grain Store.

If the other party was a man, he might have been able to become a marquis or a minister.

Alas, it was a woman.

If she was an ordinary woman, she might be able to bring honor to her ancestors.

However, she was already a supreme-grade Princess Consort.

Even if she was personally conferred the title of First-grade Lady by the Emperor in addition to that, others would still first remember that she was Princess Consort Rong.

Who would remember that she had earned the title of Lady of the Imperial Command based on merit?

A small number of people felt that it was a pity, but most people felt that Mu Yangling was lucky.

Not only did she marry a good husband, but she also had such good resources and obtained so much credit for no reason.

Now, not only the farmers, but even scholars also respected her very much.

It could be said that if one obtained Prince Rong’s favor, they might just have a smoother career in the bureaucracy.

The nobles and generals were eager to please him, while the civil servants retreated in fear in his presence.

On the other hand, if one could obtain Princess Consort Rong’s praise, they would be able to gain the favor of the scholars and the commoners of the world.

Not only would one’s career in the bureaucracy be smooth, but everything else would also go smoothly.

Even the crafty businessmen gave a thumbs-up at the mention of Princess Consort Rong.

Therefore, everyone had been trying their best to show their faces in front of Mu Yangling recently.

Unfortunately for them, Mu Yangling didn’t like to socialize and only played with the children when she went out.

Although one could create situations where they bumped into her by chance, they would come across as annoying if they did it too many times.

Thus, now that they finally had a chance to show their faces openly in front of Mu Yangling, countless people were trying their best to seize this opportunity.
