After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 222 Seed
Meanwhile, Ma Caidie, who was still busy inside, also came out.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess"

"Butterfly, come quickly, I've got corn and potato seeds for you."

Princess Xie

"Your Highness, are these potato seeds?"

Ma Caidie held the tiny seed in disbelief.

Yes, but these seeds are difficult to grow.

Duan Shirui opened the package, took out the seeds, touched them, and continued, "These are high-quality seeds, but if planted at this time, they might not survive. We need to cultivate seedlings first."

"I've already thought of this. Someone, come here."

Then they saw a group of workers following Fang Lingchu, each holding a transparent object.

Duan Shirui's eyes lit up instantly when she saw that thing.

"You've made the glass?"

"Yes, mass production. We'll use this to build an indoor greenhouse, so you won't have any problems with seedling cultivation. Next spring, we can distribute them to each state."

"Mmm, Chu Chu, you're amazing!"

In her excitement, Duan Shirui forgot her pretense of being a well-bred young lady.

"It's not that I'm particularly skilled, it's that these technicians are. Oh, and there's corn too, you guys can help with the seedling cultivation."

Okay, let's go now.

Duan Shirui quickly sent people to set up a tent for them at the back.

Although Ma Caidie couldn't understand, she just followed along.

"Your Highness, we'll be going down now."

"go"

Seeing that there was nothing she could help with, Fang Lingchu prepared to go back.

Just then, Strawberry, who had heard that her young lady had come to her fiefdom, rushed over.

"Miss"

Looking at Strawberry with tears streaming down her face, Fang Lingchu felt completely overwhelmed.

"No, why are you crying?"

At such an emotional moment, someone came along and spoiled the mood.

"Strawberry, you're a senior maidservant by the princess's side now, how can you still be so tactless?"

Strawberry heard the sound and looked up.

Ah!
The people around the Empress are still the old guards in the palace.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess"

Strawberry quickly bowed; she couldn't let others think that the maids who used to serve her mistress were all ill-mannered.

"Get up, these are Peach Blossom and Little Bamboo."

Peach Blossom and Little Bamboo also bowed to Strawberry and said, "Hello, Sister Strawberry."

Regardless of anything else, to Fang Lingchu, Strawberry was like an older sister to them.

But things are different now, and Peach Blossom simply doesn't want people to call her "princess" or "miss" anymore.

"Well, I'd like to discuss matters concerning the fiefdom with the princess. You may leave now."

The two people glanced at Fang Lingchu before leaving.

"What's wrong? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Fang Lingchu looked at her little girl, who had become much more mature after so long.

"It's nothing, I just missed Miss."

"We haven't seen each other for just a few months! Besides, come see me once you've settled things here!"

"Thank you, miss"

"You're welcome. By the way, I've changed the status of all of you girls who work outside to good status. From now on, you'll be Her Highness the Princess's housekeeper."

"Miss……"

Strawberry never expected her young lady to do this.

"Alright, then manage the fiefdom well for me."

"Thank you, miss"

Strawberry knelt down and kowtowed three times to Fang Lingchu.

"It's alright, get up, you're like this..."

Fang Lingchu was truly helpless!
Fang Lingchu is quite willing to give opportunities to capable people around her.

"As long as you're capable, this might be your only option in the future. Don't worry, I'll make sure you can all become independent."

After all, there are already several female officials in the imperial court.

With their joint efforts, women will surely be able to hold up half the sky.

It's a fair and just resource, a fairness different from what she experienced back then. Fang Lingchu felt sad when she thought about the popular divorce cooling-off period at that time.

I thought of my neighbor, who paid the ultimate price for this.

"Thank you, Your Highness. We believe you. Will you be going back tonight?"

Strawberry looked at the young lady she had grown up with and felt genuinely happy.

"I'm not going back; I'll sleep here tonight."

"Alright, I'll have someone prepare your room right away."

Therefore, Fang Lingchu's room is cleaned every day.

"Okay, let's go"

……

That evening, Fang Lingchu called over several adults who were working on her fiefdom.

Everyone eats together, regardless of gender.

"Your Highness, there is a difference between men and women, you..."

One of the nannies who was following Fang Lingchu and watching the men and women immediately spoke up to stop them.

[Holy crap, host, this old hag is actually one of the Empress Dowager's people!]

Is the Empress Dowager coming back?

Yes, the autumn hunt is coming soon, she should be back soon.

【That's good】

Fang Lingchu raised her hand and slapped him without hesitation.

"Who do you think you are, daring to interfere in my affairs? Guards, take you away!"

[Guagua, who put her next to me?]

[The Imperial Preceptor]

[Helian Shunan, what's he involved in all this?!]

[Host, you asked the Fifth Prince to go find him, but he...]

【I understand, they're getting revenge on me from afar! Okay, okay】

Then a man in black appeared next to Fang Lingchu.

[Go and have a proper exchange with the Imperial Advisor]

【Yes】

System: I told you not to cause trouble for this woman!
Helian Shunan, far away in the Imperial Preceptor's mansion, was exhausted from coaxing the Fifth Prince.

Anyway, she just wouldn't sleep. Whenever she tried to sleep, she would cry and wail like a banshee.

There's been a persistent rumor that the Imperial Preceptor's residence is haunted.

"Fifth Prince, why don't you go to your mother's place!"

"Waaaaah, no, no, no! I want to be with the Imperial Advisor! Waaaaah!"

Helian Shunan rubbed his temples, feeling his head buzzing.

All I could hear were various kinds of crying.

"okay"

Helian Shunan immediately cast a sleeping spell on him to shut him up and put him to sleep.

Then I went to deal with other things.

Compared to the chaos at the Imperial Preceptor's residence, things were much more harmonious at Fang Lingchu's place.

Several girls drank a little wine and started singing and dancing in the princess's residence.

"You are my little apple, I can never love you enough, your rosy cheeks warm my heart, and light up the fire of my life..."

Duan Shirui joined in, and the two of them, along with a devil, sang just one line.

She kept singing until her voice was hoarse before finally falling into a deep sleep.

The next day

Fang Lingchu was so exhausted she couldn't get up.

[Host, have you forgotten that we were supposed to visit the salt fields today?]

The system is at its wits' end.

No matter what I said yesterday, Fang Lingchu just wouldn't listen.

The drinking kept everyone up until the wee hours of the morning before they could sleep.

Okay, you can go now!

Fang Lingchu got up groggily, asked Tao Hua and the others to help her wash up, and then asked, "Have Lord Duan and the others woken up yet?"

Although Peach Blossom really didn't want to discourage her princess, but...

"Lord Duan and the others have already returned."
