Chapter 52 The General Loves the Country Girl (22)
The small gray ball landed directly on the plate. Ning Shu quickly threw it away, took one and broke it in half, ate it herself, and then handed the other half to Li Wen.
Ning Shu's action was to tell Li Wen that this thing was edible and not poisonous. Li Wen took the sweet potato. The skin of the sweet potato was still stained with black ash. Li Wen followed Ning Shu's example, peeled the skin, and took a sip.
It tasted sweet. Li Wen nodded, "What kind of food is this?"
Ning Shu saw that Li Wen was still interested, so she said, "My brother, I call this thing sweet potato. I found it when I went to the manor last time."
"I sent someone to plant it, and the yield reached 1,000 kilograms." Ning Shu said, "This thing can satisfy hunger."
"Really?" Li Wen's face showed anxiety and surprise, and he obviously understood the function of this thing. "Does the manor still have this thing now?"
"I asked someone to collect it well. It is now in the cellar of the manor." Ning Shu said.
Li Wen nodded and said, "I will go out of the palace with you to the manor to have a look."
"Okay." Li Wen would definitely go to see something related to people's livelihood.
Li Wen and Ning Shu rode their horses directly to the manor, followed by a team of cavalry. When the emperor traveled, he had to be accompanied by people.
When he arrived at the manor, Li Wen first went to see the potatoes, and then went to see the land where potatoes were planted. He asked people to measure the land again, and the results were the same.
Li Wen, who always had a cold face, showed a little smile on his face. His eyes were bright, and his eyes softened when he looked at Ning Shu. He said to Ning Shu, "Jiahui, you are very good, very good."
Ning Shu just smiled and said, "Jiahui is very happy to be able to work for the emperor. Jiahui knows that the emperor cares about the people of the world. I am a member of the royal family and rely on the support of the people of the world. It is my duty to work for the people of the world."
It can be said that the entire aristocratic class is supported by the people, but these aristocrats still look down on the people.
Li Wen obviously didn't expect Ning Shu to say such a thing. He said with relief: "Jiahui has grown up and is sensible. She is no longer obsessed with those inexplicable things."
Ning Shu was sweating.
"I will trouble you with the planting in the future." Li Wen had a slight smile on his face and was very gentle to Ning Shu.
"The manager and tenant farmers of the manor know how to do it. In fact, I found it by accident. It's nothing. It would be great if I could help my brother."
"By the way, how did you find out that this thing can be eaten?" Li Wen asked with narrowed eyes, which made Ning Shu's heart jump heavily. She couldn't just say that she knew it.
"It's all because of Xiao Huiqiu. I saw this little thing holding this thing in the woods, and then I tasted it myself. Although it's not as delicious as cooked, it's raw." Ning Shu directly pushed the matter to Xiao Huiqiu. Li Wen knew that Xiao Huiqiu loved to eat.
Li Wen nodded and went back to the palace with a light body.
Ning Shu then breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally proved her worth in front of Li Wen. She should have hesitated when he asked her to marry. But Ning Shu's heart was still heavy, so the success of the next marriage mission depended on this marriage.
In fact, the mission this time was almost completed. I didn't love Duan Xinghui. Well, I did it. I made Duan Xinghui and Erya, a pair of bitches, have a bad end. Well, this one is almost the same. If it continues like this, Erya and Duan Xinghui will probably become a couple of grudges. There are many obstacles in their love.
In the original plot, Erya's status was improved because she saved a marquis' wife, which made Mrs. Duan accept it. However, because there was an extra Yuan Dong in the Duan Mansion, Erya couldn't even go out of the door and had to learn the rules every day.
I really don't know if Duan Xinghui still likes Erya, who is bound by rules and follows the rules in every move, hahahaha...
As Ning Shu expected, not long after, the Huns' envoys arrived in the capital. The second son of the Khan, the second prince of the grassland, came this time.
The original owner was married to the second prince. In the capital, she heard about the original owner's dirty reputation for competing for a man, and had a bad impression of the original owner. After the marriage, she was treated inhumanely.
The Xiongnu was a place without courtesy, righteousness, and shame. Women there were like goods. Although the original owner was married to the second prince, what made her collapse was that the second prince's brothers would share her and humiliate her.
This was simply a place where the devil lived. The original owner was very afraid of the second prince. Now when she heard the second prince's name, Ning Shu's body couldn't help shaking. This was the original owner's emotion.
Fear was mixed with hatred. Generally speaking, fear was the main thing. After so much torture, the original owner saw the second prince like a mouse seeing a cat, and there was a fear of being killed.
Ning Shu clenched her fists and was determined not to be married, otherwise how could she counterattack for the original owner? To change the original owner's fate, she had to change the fate of the marriage.
Sure enough, the Xiongnu envoys proposed a marriage in the court, and they asked to marry the only Princess Jiahui of the Yong Dynasty.
The ministers all said that they wanted Ning Shu to marry the princess, but Li Wen said nothing. He seemed to agree, but also seemed to disagree. He didn't say anything, which made the Hun envoys somewhat dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to act presumptuously.
Sure enough, this is the powerful force of the plot. Even if Ning Shu's reputation has not been tarnished, and she has not been involved in the scandal that the princess actually competes with others for men, she still can't avoid the fate of marrying the princess.
The cannon fodder female supporting role is really miserable. What should she do now? She can only stand up and masturbate. What made Ning Shu more fortunate was that Li Wen did not immediately agree to let her marry the princess. Obviously, the sweet potato matter occupied a little position in Li Wen's heart. Sure
enough, it was the right thing to please Li Wen. Since she was with the emperor who held the power of life and death in the world, she had to guess the emperor's mind. Obviously, Ning Shu made the right bet.
The envoys settled down in the capital. What made Ning Shu speechless was that the second prince actually came to visit her in the princess's mansion. Ning Shu had only one word for this: get out.
As expected, there are no rules. What would others think when the Second Prince came to visit her like this? She probably thought that she and the Second Prince were already having an affair. Damn, this Second Prince was really sinister and extremely vicious.
Ning Shu did not hesitate to speculate the Second Prince with the greatest malice. In the original owner's memory, this Second Prince was as cruel and cunning as a prairie wolf, vicious by nature, and his torture of the original owner was simply beyond the tolerance of humans.
Jiahui, who married into the family, was tortured to death two years later.
Ning Shu stayed in the princess's mansion and refused to go out. The Second Prince did not meet Princess Jiahui and could only return home disappointed. He heard that Princess Jiahui had grown up to be very beautiful.
