C88 Another Manor

"To the manor." This time, Prince Xian didn't keep up the suspense and directly answered. With that, he added, "There is a piece of sandy watermelon on the farm that just happens to be edible. Also, the peaches can be picked."

Hearing this, Shen Qi's eyes lit up. The desert watermelon was sweet and thirsty, the peaches at this time were tasty too, and she liked them all. She couldn't help but to look forward to it.

"What else?" She asked with a smile. There were many good things in the manor, and every year, she would bring a lot of vegetables and fruits to the manor.

Seeing that she liked it, he was also happy in his heart. In the end, he didn't arrange for this trip. Seeing that she wasn't satisfied, he smiled and said, "There's also the lotus seed and water caltrop." There was a pond in the manor with lotus leaves and water chestnuts growing on it. Every year, there would be a lot of fruits growing on it.

However, the water chestnut in the north could not be compared with the one in the south. The water chestnut in the north was much smaller than the one in the south.

Hearing his words, Shen Qi became even more expectant, feeling that the carriage was too slow, wishing that it could arrive right away.

No matter how much he tried, she was still a little girl. At the age of fifteen, she would always want to try anything.

However, this kind of wangfei was much more lively than usual, and also had a bit of youthful vivacity and vitality. It seemed that from now on she would have to treat her even better, so that she could see that wangfei was different from her usual self.

Wu Bo and Mother Song had received the news that the Duke wanted to bring Princess Hua-Yang over, so when Shen Qi and the others arrived, they saw them waiting outside the door.

Seeing that the Prince's carriage had come over, they came over to greet him with smiles on their faces. Duke Duanren helped Shen Qi off the carriage, and they came over to pay their respects, "Your Highness, Wangfei, everything is ready in the manor."

"Wu Bo, thank you for your hard work!" King Xian said gently.

Wu Bo and Mother Song immediately shook their heads and waved their hands, "It's not hard, it's not hard at all. As long as wangfei likes it, it's fine." They also knew that the main reason for their visit was because of Princess Hua-Yang's birthday.

Shen Qi went up to support Mother Song, and walked inside together, "There's no need to be polite, since we're here, I feel relaxed."

Mother Song had a very good impression of Shen Qi, seeing that she had changed a lot today, she was truly relaxed, full of vitality, making people feel like they were a few years younger.

However, she did not think too much about it. She only thought that because today was her birthday, she was in a particularly good mood.

Thinking about it, she really felt sorry for her master. Originally, she was going to be in her prime, but she couldn't be like the other noble ladies and have such a grand gift.

It could be seen that the relationship between the two of them had gotten even closer this time. The prince also really valued this wangfei and had her in his heart; otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much time and effort just to let her have an unforgettable birthday.

This time, Shen Qi brought the four servants and Wang Ma over, they were rarely able to come out, so they had always been in an excited state. Now that the villa was so big, their hearts were filled with joy.

The Wang Ma and the others greeted the Mother Song, and when the Wu Bo brought the watermelon over, Zi Zhu and the others immediately went up to help. The Wu Bo did not decline, but smiled and said to King Duan and the others, "The watermelon in the manor can help the princess quench her thirst."

King Duan nodded, but Shen Qi smiled and said, "Many thanks Wu Bo. On the way here, I heard that you said there was a sand watermelon here, I wanted to taste it a long time ago."

The Wu Bo laughed even more when he heard Shen Qi's words. He was good at farming and was confident that the watermelon he grew would be sweet enough to eat. Naturally, he would be happy when his wife praised him.

"Eat more if you like it, Princess."

Shen Qi smiled and nodded. Seeing them interacting, Duke Xian did not say anything, but just watched in a good mood, while his servants shared a plate of watermelon with them.

Shen Qi picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite. After spitting out the watermelon seeds, she smiled and said, "It's delicious. Then she picked up a piece and gave it to King Duanren. "Your Highness also needs to eat."

Normally, the servants would cut the watermelon into small pieces before eating it with a silver fork. Even the watermelon seeds were eaten well. When had the servants ever eaten a piece of watermelon?

However, he did not argue when he saw his wife eating like that. He took it and started to eat carefully. Shen Qi wiped his hands with the kernels and took another piece for himself.

She had always liked eating watermelons. In her previous life, she had visited Xinjiang to eat watermelons there. It was really delicious, really delicious, especially sweet.

At that time, the watermelon was very cheap, she remembered it very clearly, it was only 30 cents a kilogram, buying a big bag was only a dozen yuan, it was even cheaper than drinking water. At that time, a few friends bought a big bag together, they slaughtered it every day, and each of them ate it with half a spoon, it was very good!

On their way back from Xinjiang, they found their watermelon inedible, tasteless and expensive.

After they finished eating, the few of them started to think of how to play, but Wang Ma turned to Shen Qi and asked, "Esteemed wangfei, could this old servant help out with Mother Song?"

Shen Qi smiled and nodded, then said to Mother Song: "This is my wet nurse's first time here. I hope Mother Song can give us some pointers on what you don't understand."

Mother Song smiled as he waved his hand. He also knew that this Wang Ma was an important person to her, "I don't dare to accept your advice. With her with this old servant, I'm relieved. After all, she knows more about wangfei's taste than this old servant."

"Thank you, Mother Song." Shen Qi said as he smiled. The Mother Song smiled and left with the Wang Ma.

After the Mother Song and the rest left, Duke Xian asked, "What do you want to do next? To pick peaches or to pick lotus heads? "

The maidservants also looked at the wangfei in anticipation, hoping to go over together. Shen Qi smiled and said: "Let's go pick the peaches first, then we'll row to pick the lotus seeds."

A few people arrived at the peach forest in high spirits. The peach tree was located in the northwest corner of the manor, on a large hillside. Every tree was covered in peach, making it look very pleasing.

When had these servants ever seen such a scene before? All of them were very excited at once, as Wu Bo told them to pick whatever was good, what couldn't be picked, and what had to be grew. There were also some who had insect eyes, which they were all eager to try after hearing the explanation.

Each of them took a small basket and specifically picked the big red ones. With just a wipe of the kernels, Forsythia immediately started eating. Zi Zhu, Zi Li and Bai Zhi all surrounded her and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Lingtong nodded her head, "It's delicious, it's especially sweet." He was still smiling at Shen Qi, but seeing that they were all smiling and shaking their heads, Shen Qi did not care, just let them play by themselves.

Seeing that Zi Zhu and the others were trying to pick one from Shen Qi, Shen Qi also felt an itch in her hands. She extended her hand out wanting to pick one, but was stopped by King Duanren instead.

King Xian looked at the puzzled expression on her face and explained, "Let them pick it. Just take a look and it'll save you the itch." Peach hair prick

So that's how it is, Shen Qi laughed without care, "It's alright, I'll be more careful." As she finished speaking, he plucked a large and red fruit, which made him want to take a bite out of it.

Seeing her like this, King Xian didn't say anything further. He simply looked at her and said, "There's so much, can you finish it every year?" Shen Qi saw that there were quite a lot of them, since the peaches are ripe, they would not wait for you to pick them one by one, so what should he do with all of this?

"Every year, I give away quite a few people to make candied peaches." "It was all thanks to King Duanren's patient explanation." This is where you sent the candied fruit you ate last year. "

Shen Qi nodded her head, that's true, if she could make canned food, then that would be great. The yellow peach canned food should be good, that should be good, but she would not make it, so when the time came, she could describe it and see if it could be made.

In a blink of an eye, Shen Qi saw that Zi Zhu and the others had already picked a few big baskets, and immediately called for them to stop.

The maidservants were too excited, and when they saw that they had indeed harvested a lot, they looked at each other, a little embarrassed. They smiled and said, "I didn't even feel like we had harvested so much at once."

Shen Qi laughed, "Go wash your hands, so you won't feel uncomfortable."

Zi Zhu and the others said "yes" and went to wash their hands. King Duanren then ordered the guards to take the peaches back to the manor for the Wu Bo to handle.

"Do you want to pick the lotus seed now or do you want to go over in the afternoon?" On the way back, he asked Shen Qi.

Shen Qi looked at the sky. It was still early, but wouldn't it be a little sunny if she went to pick the lotus seed heads now? Noticing her hesitation, Prince Xian said, "Why don't we wait until it's cool. There are still some plum trees over there. We're all familiar with them."

"When are we going back to the Manor?" If the evening came when it was cool, could he still go back?

"Come back tomorrow." King Duanren replied.

"Then …" Wasn't the preparations made by the Zhonbo and himself for nothing? Shen Qi knew that they had been extremely busy for her birthday.

"I'm fine." King Xian reached out to grab her hand and squeezed it. Then, he said with a serious expression, "I can still use it tomorrow."

Okay, Shen Qi still has something to say, but could you let go of my hand first? So many people are watching, you really can let it go!
