Xiao Yilin followed Jing Yi throughout the whole process, watching Jing Yi dig here and dig there.

Xiao Yilin was at a loss in his heart, and asked worriedly: "Jingyan, what do you think, can this wasteland be managed well?" ”

Jing Yi stood up and looked around and said, "The places we are looking at at now are much worse than the soil quality of the wasteland in Hui'an County at the beginning, but it is not impossible, you can give it a try." It is estimated that it will be worse to grow wheat, there is a lake, there is plenty of water, you can try to grow rice. ”

Xiao Yilin was very surprised when he heard this, "Planting rice? Most of the people in the capital grow wheat, soybeans, sorghum, buckwheat, etc., and few grow rice. Is it possible to grow rice? ”

Jing Yi said: "Let's improve the field first." ”

Jing Yi didn't say anything to death, and Jing Yi also had reservations in the face of Xiao Yilin. She was afraid that she would talk to Xiao Yilin, and when the emperor asked, he would tell the emperor, and then she would have little room for maneuver.

Although Xiao Yilin said that she wanted to marry her as a princess, their relationship has not yet reached that point, and she can't tell Xiao Yilin many things. A relationship that has not been tested can be said for sure.

When Jing Yi and Xiao Yilin returned to the palace, Xiao Quanzhou sent two invitations, "Lord, the eldest princess's mansion is going to hold a flower-viewing banquet, and I have a post for you and An Lehou." Do you and An Lehou want to participate? ”

Xiao Yilin was a little surprised when he heard this, and then frowned and said, "Why did my aunt think of holding a flower viewing banquet?" ”

Jing Yi didn't know much about the situation of the various families in the capital, and asked, "Brother Xiao, how is the relationship between the eldest princess and you?" ”

Xiao Yilin said: "The relationship is okay, but it's not too close. My aunt and my father are siblings. At that time, my father and aunt were also fully supportive of my father's bid for the throne. Later, foreign tribes invaded, and my uncle went out with the army and died outside.

At that time, my aunt happened to be pregnant, and after receiving the news of her brother-in-law's death, she was overly sad and gave birth to a premature birth, and gave birth to a cousin who was born deficient because of her lack of a month, and she was in poor health since she was a child, and she was sick twice in three days and asked for a doctor.

My uncle died, and my aunt's mother-in-law complained that she had only given birth to a sick son to her brother-in-law. I also want to snatch my cousin away and not give it to my aunt to raise.

My aunt begged my father, and my father directly asked my aunt to live separately with the child, and the mother and son have been living in the eldest princess's mansion. Over the years, my aunt has been a widow and rarely interacts with her in-laws. She was devoted to taking care of my cousin, and rarely attended other people's gatherings, let alone held a flower-viewing banquet in her own house.

Before, Concubine Shu said that Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was going to hold a flower viewing banquet for me to participate, but I refused, I don't know if this time my aunt's mansion held a flower viewing banquet and Ningyuan Marquis Mansion has anything to do with it. ”

Jing Yi asked, "Does the eldest princess usually have any dealings with the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion?" What's their relationship like? ”

Xiao Yilin shook his head and said: "My aunt has always lived in a simple house, rarely interacts with other people's families, and has a few good relationships, but the relationship with the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion is very average, and she has not had much contact with Concubine Niangniang. I don't know what the purpose of my aunt's flower-viewing banquet is this time. ”

Jing Yi said: "Then should we participate in this flower-viewing banquet?" ”

Xiao Yilin said: "If the invitation of the Marquis of Ningyuan is pushed, it will be pushed, but my aunt's invitation is not easy to shirk. After all, this is the first time this kind of party has been held at my aunt's house. You have just come to the capital, and if you push it back, you will inevitably be said to be arrogant and have no one in your eyes.

I think we're still going to attend on time, and it's okay to have me with you. It just so happens that I will introduce you to my aunt. If you want to open up the situation in the capital, start with this flower viewing feast. This time, I happened to meet a few more friends. ”

Jing Yi smiled and said, "Then do I make male friends or female friends?" After all, I'm a man now, and if I have a female friend, it's definitely not appropriate, so I can only make a male friend. ”

When Xiao Yilin heard this, he imagined that the little girl was talking and laughing with a group of men, and his face immediately darkened, and he said helplessly: "You have been with me when you go to the flower viewing banquet, and I have blocked those men who want to make friends with you for you." The woman also stopped. ”

Jing Yi sneered, "This flower-viewing banquet is mostly a gathering for the purpose of making friends or blind dates. I went to attend but didn't make any friends. Isn't that a bit out of place? At that time, people don't say that there is no one to blame in my eyes. ”

Xiao Yilin looked at the smiling little girl and felt very helpless, she really didn't know what to do with her. Anyway, he didn't worry about the little girl making male friends, what if a guy hooked the little girl's heart?

Although he had a chance with the little girl, he could clearly feel that the little girl did not have much affection for him. There is also a friendship that has nothing to do with men and women.

In case the little girl meets a more desirable one, he doesn't keep me the little girl, so the best thing to do is to cut off the little girl's contact with other men from the source.

It's just that now it seems to be difficult, and I can only do my best.

Jing Yi asked again: "Brother Xiao, how old is the son of the eldest princess's family you are talking about, could it be that your aunt wants to choose a daughter-in-law for her son?" ”

Xiao Yilin was a little stunned when he heard this, but no. His cousin, who is not in good health, is twenty years old this year, and it is long overdue to think about family affairs.

Xiao Yilin sighed and said, "My cousin is not in good health and rarely walks outside, even if he is holding banquets in the New Year's Palace, he rarely participates. I almost forgot his age. As soon as you say it, I remembered that my cousin is twenty years old this year, and he is indeed old enough to get married.

My cousin has never stopped taking medicine since he was a child, and the doctors have always said that he will not live long, but my aunt refuses to accept her fate, and asks for medicine everywhere, and I don't know how many doctors she has changed or how many medicines she has taken over the years. Because of his poor health, my aunt didn't rush to kiss him.

Maybe my aunt is going to take the opportunity of the flower feast to show my cousin the girl. Let's just go through the motions. When the time comes, I can introduce you to my cousin, who is a nice guy. ”

Xiao Yilin and Jing Yi discussed and finally decided to participate in the flower viewing banquet held by the eldest princess's mansion three days later.

In order to participate in this flower-viewing banquet, Xiao Yilin specially ordered someone to make a few clothes for Jing Yi, all of which were men's clothes.

Jing Yi's court clothes have been sent to her, Jing Yi has seen it, it's not bad, but it's more cumbersome. Anyway, it's just worn when going to the court.

Jing Yi's biggest worry now is that her figure is becoming more and more covered in the future, but fortunately, the court clothes are relatively fat, and she doesn't show her figure very much when she wears them, and she basically can't see anything after she binds her chest.

It's just that it's still summer, and it's also very hot here in the capital, so it's really unbearable to wear a court dress with your chest tied.

Jing Yi is eager to build a house on the wasteland as soon as possible, and then she can use the excuse of clearing the wasteland to manage the fields without going to court.
