Ling Xue was worried that the sweet potatoes and potatoes planted by the soldiers would not last long, so she took the opportunity of an inspection to secretly feed them some wood energy to help them grow.
The amount of wood energy Ling Xue had injected into the crops wasn't much, barely enough to accelerate ten days of growth, so the soldiers couldn't really tell. Even if some had doubts, it was simply because they didn't understand the growth rate of this new crop. After all, they didn't understand the growth of sweet potatoes or potatoes either.
Shen Lin in the palace has climbed to the position of imperial concubine by relying on money. She is now very popular in the palace. The old emperor can't dote on her enough. After all, he needs the Shen family to provide large sums of gold and silver for military expenses.
I don’t know what the head of the Shen family was thinking. He actually agreed to the old emperor’s insatiable request. He is really trying to get the skin of a tiger!
Concubine Shen wanted to adopt a prince. It just so happened that Concubine Li in the palace had given birth to a little prince who was not even a month old. The emperor had already agreed to give the prince to Concubine Shen to raise.
Kunning Palace.
Ning Yue, the trusted palace maid, whined and reported, "Empress, the Emperor has gone to the Imperial Concubine's Likun Palace!"
"This bitch!" A large number of porcelains in the Queen's palace were smashed. She cursed viciously: "Damn Concubine Shen, relying on the money in her family to act so arrogantly, she will be punished sooner or later."
Ning Yue looked at the Empress with distress and patiently persuaded her, "Your Majesty, calm down. Noble Concubine Shen only climbed to this position temporarily by relying on money. Once the situation stabilizes, the Emperor won't see her anymore! Besides, we still have the eldest prince, a legitimate prince, so noble. How can that nouveau riche like Noble Concubine Shen compare to him?"
The angry queen gradually calmed down. Yes, she still had the prince. What could that bitch Shen Lin do even if she was so charming? Wait for the future emperor.
The conversation between the master and servant, which they thought was very secret, was heard by the maid who was cleaning the outer room. Naturally, the news was finally passed on to Concubine Shen.
Shen Lin sneered disdainfully: "If you want to kill me, then I might as well take their lives first!"
At this time, the entire country had become riddled with holes, with rebel forces of all sizes everywhere, and the royal family in the capital had greatly reduced their control over the country.
Ling Xue is no longer worried about the court officials coming back to deal with her, because the court no longer has any control over Yunyang Prefecture.
She even specially copied a lot of steamed buns and distributed them to the people to celebrate her temporary safety.
The weather is getting cooler, and it is time to harvest the sweet potatoes and potatoes planted by Ling Xue.
Shen Zhen recruited a large number of refugees to harvest sweet potatoes and potatoes. They also made a detailed plan for this harvest.
"Yes, we've spread the word that it will take another month for the sweet potatoes and potatoes to mature, so we have plenty of time to harvest them."
Shen Zhen carefully explained their previous plan.
Ling Xue thought about it and felt that their plan was still not rigorous. After all, other forces would definitely send many spies to check when the sweet potatoes and potatoes would mature, and they would definitely come early to rush to harvest this season's crops.
"How about this? Notify everyone to start harvesting sweet potatoes and potatoes the night after tomorrow. Try to arrange for enough people to dig up the sweet potatoes and potatoes on each plot of land, and try to collect them all as quickly as possible. This will prevent the spies from discovering them and stealing them."
