Chapter 9 The Forgetful Li Di(1/2)

Wang Shi stared at the eunuch and asked in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on?"

The eunuch then stated all the things that happened today.

Wang Shu was confused.

"Is the prince healed?"

"You still have to go farming outside the city?"

"Can't it..."

Did His Royal Highness fall into the pond and his mind get broken?

Of course, he didn't dare to say this.

For a moment, Wang Shu felt that the sky was about to fall, so he hurriedly got on the carriage and said hurriedly: "Hurry up, go to Kou Mansion, something big happened!"

The carriage galloped away.

...

At dusk.

The huge convoy left the Northwest Water Gate and continued to the northwest along the Jinshui River for more than ten miles.

In a short while, I arrived at the foot of a mountain called Pingshan.

This is the center of the 200 acres of land given to Zhao Zhen by Zhao Heng.

The terrain around Pingshan is undulating and beautiful, which is a good place to build palaces, but the land is barren, and it is not suitable for planting rice and wheat.

Zhao Zhen chose this place to prove that corn can be grown in this wasteland.

Zhao Zhen got off the carriage and began to give orders like a cannon.

"Get camp immediately and stay here tonight."

"Send a few more people to recruit a group of farmers nearby, about fifty people, and let them go to the foot of Pingshan early tomorrow morning to stand by."

"Go and buy another batch of farm tools and plow oxen."

Chen Lin was sweating profusely and repeated it several times in her heart before she wrote it down, and then went to do it quickly.

Not long after, Chen Lin ran back panting and wiped the sweat from her forehead, saying, "Your Highness, there are people stationed in Pingshan, so we won't go in."

"Hmm? Who is it?"

Chen Lin said: "It's the youngest son of Xianggong Ding, Ding Buju."

Ding Wei’s son?

Zhao Zhen's face sank, "Go and meet this guy."

...

On the top of Pingshan.

There is an open flat land.

Several wooden buildings have been built here and surrounded by the gate.

Outside the gate, a young man in his twenties was domineeringly and said to the guards of the Eastern Palace: "Our Ding Mansion is ordered to build the Daode Heaven Palace for the officials. This land is the territory of the Daode Heaven Palace. I think anyone dares to occupy it, even if the prince comes."

As soon as he finished speaking, an angry voice rang out not far away.

"Ding Buju, you are so brave. You don't even take this seriously."

Ding Buju looked up and his legs suddenly became weak.

It turned out to be Zhao Zhen!

He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Ding Buju quickly said, "Your Highness, around Pingshan, the official family is going to build the Heavenly Palace of Morality, look..."

"The bullshit Moral Heavenly Palace, now I announce that this place belongs to the Eastern Palace. Do you have any objections?"

"No...no...Your Highness said yes, that's it, the people of the grass retreat!"

As he said that, Ding Buju was about to take his people back to Ding Mansion and inform Ding Wei in time.

After turning around, Zhao Zhen said coldly: "Stop!"

Ding Buju's heart was thrilled: "What are your instructions?"

Zhao Zhen stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and patted Ding Buju's chest.

Bang bang.

"Ding Buju, your health is good." Zhao Zhen praised.

Ding Buju intended to win Zhao Zhen's favor and said proudly: "Your Highness said very well, I have liked to dance with swords and guns since I was a child, and I have good martial arts."

Zhao Zhen nodded and asked, "Would you like to follow me?"

Ding Buju was overjoyed.

His father Ding Wei was a close minister of Emperor Zhao Heng and was deeply trusted.

If he could follow the prince.

Who else dares to look down on yourself in the future?

Ding Buju said excitedly: "I am willing!"

Zhao Zhen turned around and said to Chen Lin: "Parent Chen, you have heard it all! Leave Ding Buju and others to farm."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Ding Buju looked shocked: "Farming? Your Highness..."

Zhao Zhen sneered: "I regret it now, it's too late! I was lazy and found out once. I broke one leg and ran away. I cut it and sent it to the palace..."

Ding Buju: "Ah..."

...

These buildings built by Ding Mansion can be used just in time, saving the effort of setting up camps.

After Chen Lin led people to decorate it, this place became Zhao Zhen’s residence outside the East Palace.

When it was dark, Zhao Zhen started to prepare dinner himself.

Chen Lin couldn't help but tell me what a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen and the prince was noble, and she was scolded by Zhao Zhen before she became honest.

What Zhao Zhen prepared for himself was a hot pot mutton hotpot.

Hotpot has appeared during the Han and Three Kingdoms periods, but it has not been widely accepted until this era and is a niche.

Put thin slices of mutton with skin into a hot soup pot and rinse them, dip them in a little carefully prepared dipping sauce, and put them in your mouth. The fragrance is pure, tender and delicious.

Not far away, Chen Lin felt a strong fragrance coming to his nose. His stomach was roaring and his saliva couldn't help it. He couldn't bear it anymore and quietly retreated.

...

Chen Lin had just walked out of the yard and saw an angry figure walking out of the darkness.

He hurried forward, "I've seen Mr. Li!"

The person coming was Li Di.

Li Di asked straight to the point: "Where is the prince?"

Chen Lin pointed to the courtyard, "Grandpa Li, Your Highness is having a meal. I wonder what happened to Mr. Li when he asked Your Highness?"

Li Di shook his sleeves and walked inside, "The prince is not good at reading the books of sages and not learning the art of governing the country. He actually wants to be a farmer. It is simply unreasonable. I am here to persuade the prince to return to the East Palace immediately."

His anger could no longer be suppressed.

Chen Lin knew that Li Di had a hot temper and was merciless. As the young tutor of the prince, she had scolded the prince a lot before.

Now, I am afraid that the prince will be scolded.

He quickly sent everyone around him away.

Then hide at the door.

...

Li Di walked to the threshold.

Um?

Li Di sniffed.

fragrant!

So fragrant!

"What does it taste? Why is it so fragrant?"

Li Di's eyes widened.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Zhao Zhen surrounding a hot pot not far away.
