Chapter 1211: The Specialness of Nanyuan Park

Translator: Lonelytree

After a day of hard work in Nanyuan Park, the officials thought that they could finally have a good rest. However, they were informed that they would continue tomorrow until the thousand mu of rice was harvested!

When a hundred officials heard this, they immediately wailed in grief. Today, they had more than a hundred people, but they had only cut off ten mu of land. It was still far away from a thousand mu of grains cut.

When would they be able to harvest all of this land?

Who knew what the Emperor was thinking? For no reason, he actually made them, the civil and military officials, work themselves to death to harvest rice.

However, even though they were wailing, they still did not dare to disobey the imperial edict.

Another thing was that the things in the Nanyuan Manor were very attractive to them.

For example, mungbean soup, lunch, and in the afternoon, there was even a sweet from the Western Regions. It were big sweet watermelons that could only be found in Ni Lai Wo Wang restaurant.

The taste of the watermelon was really sweet and refreshing. It was really delicious.

In the past, the Emperor would occasionally reward them with one or two small pieces. They could not even taste it before it disappeared.

Here, they saw dozens of big watermelons weighing more than ten catties. Each person got at least two slices of big watermelons, which satisfied their cravings in an instant.

However, they were really curious and puzzled.

Why were the things in Nanyuan Park so special?

What kind of secret was hidden inside?

Previously, the Emperor had decreed that without the permission of General Jiang Zhennan, no one was allowed to take a step inside. Was this related to these things?

And from the Emperor’s expression, it seemed like he already knew everything about the South Park Manor.

Of course, no one dared to ask Jiang Zhennan or His Majesty about these doubts.

They could only return to their residence to rest with fatigue and doubt. After all, they still had work to do.

“Ye ‘er, Consort Mother heard that your Imperial Father brought all the civil and military officials and the descendants of the Imperial Family to the Nanyuan Farm?” Noble Consort Zhou asked anxiously.

After all, they had sent many people to investigate the Nanyuan Park, but they had found nothing. On the contrary, they had also lost many secret guards.

Now that His Majesty had suddenly brought so many people to the Nanyuan Manor, it was finally possible to investigate.

She just didn’t know what kind of secret was hidden inside.

Yuwen Feiye’s face was filled with fatigue. After all, he had to work in the fields today.

For people who had been used to living a comfortable life since they were young, it was still hard and tiring for them to suddenly work in the fields and do such lowly work. n(/o/(v).e-.L-)b./I./n

However, with their father watching over them, they had to do it no matter how dissatisfied they were. Moreover, in order to show off in front of their father, they couldn’t slack off for even a moment. They were very active in doing the harvesting work.

Of course, Yuwen Feiye was no exception.

No matter how much he was doted on by his father, he could not be pushed

down by anyone else at this moment, especially in front of the Crown Prince and the eldest grandprince.

Yuwen Feiye gently rubbed his forehead and then gently lowered his waist. He said weakly,” Mother, the farm is full of rice. We haven’t found anything yet.”

Seeing her son’s exhausted face, Noble Consort Zhou immediately massaged his forehead with heartache. She said doubtfully,” Ye ‘er, you look very tired.”

Then, she noticed some wounds on the back of Yuwen Feiye’s hand and asked angrily,” Ye ‘er, what happened to your hand? Why are there scars? How did those servants protect you? Little Li,”

Noble Consort Zhou wanted to ask Little Li, who was serving Yuwen Feiye, to clarify the matter, but Yuwen Feiye stopped her.

“Consort mother, don’t be angry. Listen to your son first!”

Then, Yuwen Feiye told Imperial Consort Zhou about his work at Nanyuan Park.

When Imperial Concubine Zhou heard this, she said in surprise,” His Majesty brought you to the Nanyuan Park just to let you work? Furthermore, you have to continue working for the next few days?”

“Ridiculous!” Noble Consort Zhou was furious as she cursed,” Since ancient times, which emperor would bring hundreds of civil and military officials, as well as the princes and grandchildren of the imperial court, to do the lowly work of the common people?”

“Imperial Mother!” Hearing Noble Consort Zhou’s words, Yuwen Feiye immediately shouted,” The walls have ears!”

Noble Consort Zhou was immediately jolted awake and immediately covered her mouth in panic.

If her words were to be spread, it would be a heinous crime. If they were used by someone with ill intentions or if the Emperor heard about it, then the mother and son would have to bear the consequences.

Soon, Noble Consort Zhou calmed down and asked doubtfully,” Why would His Majesty bring so many people to work at the Nanyuan Park for no reason?

Yuwen Feiye shook his head.” I don’t know either!” This was also the question in his mind.

Imperial Consort Zhou lowered her eyelids slightly and thought for a moment.

Then she asked seriously,” Ye ‘er, have you discovered anything special about Nanyuan Park? Or any secrets?”

No matter how she thought about it, the Emperor would not have led all the civil and military officials of the court to work in Nanyuan Park for no reason. Yuwen Feiye listened to Noble Consort Zhou’s reminder and immediately fell into deep thought.

Then, he said,” Mother, your son heard from the other officials that the rice harvest in the Nanyuan Park is much higher than the harvest of ordinary people outside!”

“Is that so?” Noble Consort Zhou was puzzled.

“Yes.” Yuwen Feiye nodded and said,” I heard that the harvest of ordinary farmers outside is usually three or four stones. The best harvest is only five or six stones. However, the harvest of the Nanyuan Park has reached seven stones per mu!”

Upon hearing that the yield per mu was seven stones, Noble Consort Zhou was once again surprised.” There’s actually that much?!”

“That’s right!” Yuwen Feiye said with certainty,” And I found that Father was not surprised by the results of this harvest!”

Noble Consort Zhou was no longer surprised. She lowered her head and thought deeply again.” Then, did you find anything else?”

“Your son discovered that the food in Nanyuan Park is especially delicious!” Yuwen Feiye said.

“What?” Noble Consort Zhou was puzzled again. What was so special about this? There were many delicious things in Beijing.

Seeing the confusion in Noble Consort Zhou’s eyes, Yuwen Feiye immediately explained,” Consort Mother, it’s not just any ordinary food. For example, watermelons that only come from the Western Regions as tribute. But this afternoon, the South Garden Manor cut dozens of them at once. There are also many food and pastries that we don’t even recognize!”

Upon hearing Yuwen Feiye’s words, Noble Consort Zhou’s expression became solemn. She said,” It seems that this Nanyuan Park is really special! Just the fact that the harvest of rice was seven stones per mu would make the people of the world go crazy. This was a real guarantee of food supply!’

Yuwen Feiye immediately understood. He said in surprise,” Mother, what do you mean?

Noble Consort Zhou nodded and said,” Perhaps His Majesty will make a big move in the second half of this year!’

If the harvest of all the people could reach six or seven stones per mu, would

there be any need to worry about people starving to death?

Perhaps this was the reason why His Majesty had sent all the civil and military officials to Nanyuan Park..
