When Li Xiang got up the next day, he naturally came to see his daughter first. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Li Xiang felt relieved.
This can almost be said to be Li Xiang's compulsory course every day. Every time Cheng Luan sees Li Xiang rushing in, she is very happy in her heart. However, the thing that Tiance General's Mansion has the most is probably children.
Now there is only this one child in the whole family, so Li Xiang puts all his love on him. When there are more children in the future, Li Xiang may not be able to cope. The son is still the most important. A woman can only regard her son as her life, especially a woman living in the royal family.
"Your Highness, do you have any plans for today?"
Cheng Luan was still half lying on the bed. Although the social atmosphere was relatively open in that era, a woman who had just given birth still had to stay in bed most of the time.
"Today, I'm going out of town to inspect our farm. I haven't been there in a long time. It should be doing well these days. The most important thing is to check out the new crops."
If Li Xiang had not said the last sentence, it would definitely be about Changsun Pingting. However, after Li Xiang said the last sentence, Cheng Luan felt that Li Xiang must have something important to do when he went out.
Although Changsun Pingting's affairs were not made public, everyone in the capital knew that if the next generation of the Changsun family entered the Tiance General's Mansion in the future, there would be two women in the Changsun family. Moreover, Changsun Pingting was pregnant now, and at the latest she would have three months to give birth. If she gave birth to a concubine's eldest son...
Cheng Luan has already been verified from several places, and Li Xiang has also made guarantees to some people that as long as they are sons, they basically have the same inheritance rights, and it will depend on their talents at that time.
"But what about the potatoes and sweet potatoes we mentioned earlier?"
Cheng Ying was taking care of her sister's food and accommodation, when she suddenly remembered the spicy stir-fried potato shreds she had made some time ago, which can be said to be a famous dish.
"We successfully cultivated them some time ago and are now planting them on a large scale. The yield per mu is very high. If we encounter any disaster, these things can save many lives."
The Tang Dynasty is indeed not short of food now, and the price of food has been falling for more than ten months. A large amount of food has been shipped in from neighboring countries, enriching the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty. However, no one can guarantee that there will be no natural disasters. Once there is a natural disaster, potatoes and sweet potatoes will be important items to save people's lives.
"Sister is quite interested in this. If it's convenient, why not bring her along to have a look? I'm probably tired of her staying in my room all the time."
Cheng Luan's words made Li Xiang stunned for a moment, but he soon understood. It was normal for Cheng Ying to go out with him. In this day and age, many young couples also go out to play together. But if that was the case, then Li Xiang would not be able to go to Changsun Pingting.
Is the harem drama finally happening? Li Xiang used to think that Cheng Luan wouldn't do that, because after all, she was a very sensible girl. But now it seems that's not entirely true.
Cheng Ying is very fond of agricultural products, which Li Xiang also knows. At this moment, Li Xiang looked at Cheng Ying, so that Cheng Ying was in a dilemma.
"May I, Your Highness?"
Cheng Ying's face showed a calm expression. In fact, this matter was also a test for Cheng Ying. If she did not stand firmly on her sister's side, she might be eliminated in the future.
The palace fight is so brutal. It has come to this point. If Li Xiang disagrees, there will definitely be some other things that will be difficult to explain at that time.
"Why not? Go back and pack up. It's best to change into men's clothes. Most of the people on the farm are men. It might be inconvenient to wear women's clothes after we get there."
Hearing Li Xiang's answer, Cheng Luan smiled. This is what the mistress of the house planned. Even if I can't watch you now, I have to find someone to watch you.
But Cheng Ying had other plans in mind...
After breakfast, Li Xiang set off with his men. It’s true that the daughter of Cheng Yaojin’s family can ride a horse quite well.
"Why is your highness looking at me like that?"
Cheng Ying had noticed it several times. Li Xiang had looked at her several times since leaving the General Tiance's Mansion.
"Did you also grow up in a military camp when you were little? This is a Xiongnu warhorse, not an ordinary horse. Ordinary people can't control it at all, but I see that you don't seem to be unfamiliar with it at all."
Li Xiang knew that Cheng Luan didn't have this ability, but he didn't expect that Cheng Ying had this ability.
"Your Highness is right. I grew up in the military camp with my father. Over time, I learned to ride a horse. As for drawing a bow and arrow, I can do it, but I'm not very proficient."
A smile appeared on Cheng Ying's face, as if she remembered her childhood in the military camp. At that time, Cheng Yaojin still liked Cheng Ying very much, but after he had a legitimate son and daughter, Cheng Ying, the eldest daughter of a concubine, had to be put aside.
It's no wonder that people of this era would think this way. After all, legitimate sons and daughters are supposed to inherit the family business. As for concubines' daughters and sons, they can basically be settled anywhere. They only serve to add icing on the cake for the family. As for taking over the entire family, these people have no qualifications at all.
"Your Cheng family is really amazing."
When Li Xiang said this, he had some other thoughts in his mind. Although he valued Cheng Yaojin now, he could not let things get out of hand. If Cheng Wan really gave birth to a boy in the future, Cheng Yaojin would definitely fully support his grandson. Together with Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang, they would definitely be the strongest relatives in his family.
"If Your Highness has other things to do today, please go ahead. I didn't see anything."
Seeing that Li Xiang had some concerns, Cheng Ying suddenly said this. Although she was used as a gun by her sister, Cheng Ying also had her own brain. The most capable person in the entire Tiance General's Mansion was naturally Li Xiang. If she made Li Xiang unhappy, even if her sister was the mistress of the house, could she rely on her sister to make a living in the future?
What's more, can you stop Changsun Pingting just because you want to?
If it were the Cheng Luan of the past, she would never do such a thing. Now it was just because she had just given birth to a child and she was feeling a little jealous.
