Happiness Consist in Contentment

The eldest princess came out of Emperor Chengwen's imperial study and returned to Qingyang Palace.

The three of Liu Fang were standing at the door waiting. When they saw her approaching, they saluted together, "Eldest sister."

The eldest princess smiled, returned a salute to them, and then looked at Liu Fang and said, "Sixth sister has been wronged when she chose her son-in-law this time."

Liu Fang shook his head with a smile, "Thank you eldest sister for your concern, my sister does not feel wronged, and the father has done justice for her."

The eldest princess nodded with a smile, "That's good."

The seventh princess smiled and said to the eldest princess, "Eldest sister, I miss you so much! Please tell me quickly, I heard that you beat the people of Liang country to the point of crying... is that true?"

The eldest princess smiled, "This rumor is too much. This battle is because of the bravery of the border soldiers. I am just one of them. Seventh sister, don't listen to their nonsense."

The Seventh Princess still said with a look of admiration, "Eldest sister is humble, but I have heard that you arrested their commander by yourself, isn't that powerful enough?"

The eldest princess smiled and said, "Okay, let's go first, there is a family banquet in the evening, I have to wash and change clothes."

The seventh princess stopped talking, and the three of them followed the eldest princess in together, not to mention their own washing and preparations.

At the evening banquet, including the crown prince, everyone was bragging about the eldest princess' exploits. Although Emperor Chengwen didn't speak, Liu Fang could see that he was actually very happy with his proud appearance.

That's good, isn't it?

The eldest princess came back to Beijing, firstly for this battle with Liang Kingdom, and secondly for returning to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

After all, I haven't come back for two years, so it's normal to take this opportunity to come back and reunite.

The eldest princess' biological mother, Wang Guiren, was very happy, and sent someone to talk to her early in the morning. At first, she talked about things like thinking about her, and then she began to urge her to marry.

The eldest princess was helpless and could only hide if she could.

The prince is also very happy with the return of the eldest sister. Whenever he has time, he will talk to her and talk about border issues. For a while, the eldest princess is very busy.

However, Liu Fang harvested the rice grown in his yard and took it to Emperor Chengwen to see.

Emperor Chengwen didn't care much at first, but when he heard Liu Fang's planting report, he suddenly looked at her seriously.

"You mean, this grain can increase production?"

Liu Fang nodded and said, "That's right. Father, although this kind of grain may not be suitable for the entire farmland of Chengguo, in Kyoto, it can increase a certain amount of production.

amount. "

Emperor Chengwen looked at Liu Fang and carefully looked at this daughter for the first time.

At the age of fifteen, it was when Shao Lu was young, and there were still traces of immaturity on his face.

However, now, Emperor Chengwen feels that the daughter in front of him has really grown up and knows how to share his worries.

In fact, he was well aware of Liu Fang's intention to choose Yang Luo as his concubine.

It's just that Liu Fang knows how to be euphemistic.

Moreover, Viscount Yang An's mansion knew that his son liked his cousin, and he handed his name to the palace, which itself was their problem.

Therefore, Emperor Chengwen disposes of Yang Luo and Viscount Yang An's house smoothly.

However, he really didn't expect that his daughter could give him such a big surprise.

Emperor Chengwen looked at Liu Fang, who looked indifferent, and sighed, "I didn't expect you, Liu Niang, to be able to research these grains."

Liu Fang smiled.

Emperor Chengwen said, "Okay, the grain seeds will be put here temporarily, and we will talk about it when the spring begins."

Liu Fang saluted, "In this case, my son will retire first."

After leaving the imperial study, she looked up at the rare blue sky in winter and smiled. She suddenly felt that it would be good if she could use what she had learned to contribute to the world.

...

During the New Year's Festival, all parts of Kyoto are full of joy. Either this house holds a wedding or that house holds a banquet.

The seventh princess and the eighth princess are mainly preparing for next year's marriage, but there is no time for the seventh princess to pester the eldest princess.

This made the eldest princess secretly relieved: Qimei is so good at talking, she is really afraid of her.

Several banquets were also held in the palace during the New Year's Festival. The whole family gathered together to celebrate the New Year. After the Lantern Festival, when the court opened, Emperor Chengwen told the court meeting about Liu Fang's improvement of grain.

All the ministers sighed in their hearts: The emperor's sons and daughters are really powerful, the crown prince will not talk about it, the eldest princess and the sixth princess are not mortals either. .

If it is really as the Sixth Princess said, after that, the people of Chengguo will really have a good life, and the Sixth Princess will become a great hero of the entire Chengguo!

Chengguo's current imperial administration is relatively clear, and basically they are officials who can do practical things. Therefore, Emperor Chengwen asked Liu Fang to go to the Agriculture Department of the Ministry of Industry to assist them in experimenting with planting new grains, and none of the ministers objected.

Since then, Liu Fang has entered the Department of Agriculture, and her marriage has been put on hold for the time being.

The princess and other seven princes

Lord, after the eighth princesses are all married, they are ready to leave Huibianguan.

But at this moment, the envoy of the Liang Kingdom arrived, and the eldest princess simply stayed and did not leave.

I want to wait for the outcome of the peace talks between the two countries before leaving.

But the people in Beijing waited for the envoys of Liang to come to the capital before they remembered: Yes, Liang has sent a proton here, and they dared to provoke Chenggu, they were really bold!

Aren't you afraid that your proton will be smashed by the emperor in Chenghui?

In fact, Emperor Chengwen has always been paying attention to the Liang Kingdom Proton in Kyoto, but this Proton is the son of the Liang Kingdom King who doesn't care. Therefore, he is like a little transparent in Cheng Kingdom, and no one cares about him at all.

Now, the two countries are at war, and naturally, everyone will stare at him.

And it was only at this time that everyone discovered that this proton was unusual!

It is said that he opened a department store in Kyoto, where there are all kinds of novel things, such as soaps, perfumes, shower gels, etc., which are very popular with Kyoto women.

Although Liu Fang was staying in the Department of Agriculture, she also heard about this and raised her eyebrows: I didn't expect that this world is also a sieve.

The eldest princess was also surprised when she learned about the proton of the Liang Kingdom, but then she asked people to thoroughly investigate the past of this proton Yanhe.

Following the investigation, the eldest princess looked at the report submitted by the people below, smiled, and then went to find Emperor Chengwen.

No one knew what the two discussed, but then the eldest princess did not return to the border, but stayed in the capital.

And because she was too old and no longer suitable to live in the palace, Emperor Chengwen simply chose a mansion to give her as the princess mansion.

The eldest princess then moved in.

However, it didn't take long for rumors that the proton of the Liang Kingdom wanted to marry the eldest princess in Kyoto.

Liu Fang frowned, always feeling a little weird.

The eldest princess is not a person who will be at the mercy of others, but now the gossip in Kyoto, she completely ignores it, and it does not resemble her personality at all.

However, things in the Department of Agriculture are rather cumbersome. It is not enough to have grain seeds, the tools for farming must also be improved, and the methods of farming must also be improved...

And she has to be ready before the farming time, otherwise she will not be able to catch up with the planting time.

So, now, she really doesn't have time to think about anything else.

After the seventh and eighth princesses got married, they were also busy getting along with their in-laws' family, and for a while, they didn't have time to care about the eldest princess.

In this way, when Liu Fang is busy with the spring ploughing, she can relax.

When he came, there were already rumors in the capital that Emperor Chengwen intended to marry the eldest princess to the Liang Kingdom Proko Yanhe.

Only then did Liu Fang go to the eldest princess' mansion to ask the eldest princess about it.

The eldest princess received Liu Fang in the mansion. After knowing her intention, she smiled and said, "Sixth sister, don't worry, the royal father did not intend to marry me to Yanhe."

Liu Fang saw that her expression was flat, she must have known the rumors outside, she was a little puzzled, "Since the father and the emperor have no intention, and the eldest sister has not thought about getting married, why are the rumors in Kyoto flying all over the sky?"

The eldest princess smiled and said, "Sixth sister, let's see. There will be no results in this matter for a while."

Liu Fang raised her eyebrows, it seems that there must be some plan between the eldest princess and Emperor Chengwen, and this Liang Kingdom proton is one of them.

Since that was the case, she was relieved, so Liu Fang put down the matter, didn't care any more, and continued to study her grains.

When the two countries negotiated and settled down, the Liang Kingdom embassy left. The eldest princess was still in the Princess Mansion in Kyoto. She usually went hunting in the suburbs of Beijing, or went to the palace to accompany the king and nobles. human appearance.

On this day, Liu Fang went to the third princess' mansion for a banquet. On the way back to the palace, she met the eldest princess, but saw a handsome man beside her.

After greeting the eldest princess, Liu Fang learned that it was the protist Yanhe of the Liang Kingdom, the third prince of the Liang Kingdom.

The third prince came to Chengguo eight years ago. Because of the drought in Liangguo at that time, the food supply fell sharply, and the people of the whole country almost starved to death. So the monarch of Liangguo sent envoys to Chengguo to borrow food. In order to show sincerity, the third prince was sent as a proton and left in Kyoto.

Later, Emperor Chengwen lent grain to Liang Kingdom, and Liang Kingdom was able to overcome the difficulties. Although Liang Kingdom also returned the borrowed grain, it never proposed to bring back the proton of the Third Prince.

As a result, Yanhe has remained in the capital of Chengguo until now.

And this time, the envoy of Liang State still did not propose to bring him back to the country. Everyone knew that Yan He was completely abandoned.

But now, when Liu Fang looked at him following the eldest princess, with that affectionate look on his face, he really... didn't know what to say.

Yan He's eyes lit up when he saw Liu Fang. It is said that the sixth princess is not married either. Although she doesn't look like the eldest princess, she is quite charming. She is indeed a royal princess. Different.

Seeing Na Yanhe's pretentious and romantic appearance, Liu Fang felt a little nervous in her heart. She hurriedly said a few words to the eldest princess, and then said goodbye.

Sitting in the car, she frowned and pondered: such a frivolous man, the eldest princess would never like him.

But during this period of time, she allowed this person to follow her, which was really strange.

However, Liu Fang did not intend to delve into the matter.

Since the eldest princess has already hinted, she can just watch it quietly, she believes in her, and also believes in Emperor Chengwen.
