Chapter 192: Throw him out!
Peach Blossom Village
Xingnong was in the courtyard, digging a hole with a hoe to plant a tree.
Xingnong planned to set up a formation in the courtyard and try to grow all-season vegetables.
This formation was very complex. Vegetables alone couldn’t form the array; it needed fruit trees with different colored fruits to cooperate.
It also needed things with different attributes, like stones, ponds, and the like.
Now, she would plant the fruit trees first, then dig the pond, and create a rock garden.
At this time, Songbai walked over, holding a carrier pigeon, and handed it to Xingnong, who was planting a yellow peach tree in the vegetable garden.
“Miss Xingnong, Master has a letter for you.”
Hearing this, Xingnong put down the hoe, washed the mud off her hands in the wooden bucket, dried them on her apron, and then took the pigeon. She took off the bamboo tube tied to its leg, took out the note, glanced at it, and raised her eyebrows:
Xingnong didn’t feel any sympathy or surprise about Shen Mingzhu being thrown into the Imperial Prison.
Looking at the words on the note, she sighed again about how beautiful the handwriting was.
Just misses you? How could he be so straightforward!
No, it wasn’t “misses you”! It was “Don’t worry”!
The corners of Xingnong’s mouth felt a little hot. What the hell!
How could she have mistaken the words “Don’t worry” for “misses you”?
It was all his fault for writing those two words so carefully, each stroke clear and distinct, without wildness, without flamboyance, as if condensing all the master’s emotions, each stroke carving through the master’s longing.
And what did “Don’t worry” mean? Who was worried about him? She was so busy that she couldn’t remember anything!
Songbai was a little surprised to see Xingnong blushing and then getting angry. What on earth did the master write in the letter? Why did it seem to have angered Miss Xingnong?
God knows, in order to keep the feelings between people separated by distance still burning hot, he had racked his brains, asking Prince Ding for five carrier pigeons, just to report to Master what Miss Xingnong did every day!
Now, he followed Miss Xingnong from morning till night, working himself half to death, and still had to write letters at night. What was it all for, if not to be a “bridge”!
The Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the sky had a magpie bridge.
The Crown Prince and Xingnong on earth had a pigeon bridge!
Songbai decided to help Master again; otherwise, relying on Master, that cold and stiff blockhead, he would never be able to marry Miss Xingnong in this lifetime!
“Miss Xingnong, aren’t you going to write back to Master?”
Xingnong scattered a handful of wheat grains on the ground and released the pigeon, which then lowered its head to eat.
Hearing this, Xingnong looked at him and was about to ask what to write back when Shen Dabao knocked on the courtyard door: “Is Shen Xingnong there?!”
Xingnong was facing away from the courtyard door at this moment. Hearing the voice, she turned around and looked over, her voice clear and cold: “What’s the matter?”
Shen Dabao was stunned when he looked at Xingnong. Was this Shen Xingnong, that ugly freak?
The girl’s features had completely opened up, no longer thin and dry. At this moment, Shen Dabao, who hadn’t read any books, could only think of “eyes like a painting” and “exquisite features”… It seemed that none of these were enough to describe her current appearance.
How could she have changed so much?
Now, even though her skin was darker than that of an average girl, it couldn’t be denied that she was a beauty! A great beauty!
But, her skin didn’t seem as dark as before!
If such delicate and perfect features were a little whiter, wouldn’t she be even more beautiful than Miss Mingzhu?
She seemed to be more beautiful than Miss Mingzhu now!
Feeling that even the sun in the sky wasn’t as dazzling as her, Shen Dabao couldn’t take his eyes away and couldn’t help but think:
If she had been like this before, he wouldn’t have looked down on her.
Now, he heard that Miss Mingzhu had already married a prince, so he didn’t dare to have any wishful thinking!
Since this Shen Xingnong had become beautiful, if she were a little whiter, he could ignore her humble origins, and it wouldn’t be too much of a grievance to marry her!
It turned out that slightly darker skin had another kind of charm. Shen Dabao felt that the more he looked at Xingnong, the more beautiful she became!
This cold and elegant temperament was simply like the bright moon in the night sky!
She was also like an unattainable princess, no, queen was more fitting!
“What’s the matter?” The cold voice, like pearls and jade colliding, interrupted his train of thought.
Shen Dabao subconsciously straightened his body, looked at her perfect features, and thought, as expected, a girl changes greatly at eighteen. Would her skin become whiter and whiter in the future? Would she become more and more beautiful? Thinking this in his heart, he asked, “Will your skin become whiter and whiter in the future?”
Xingnong frowned. What the hell?
“If you were a little whiter, I wouldn’t mind marrying you!” He said in a condescending tone!
The truth was, for a girl like her whose father was unknown, he felt wronged even before he came, but there was no other way. His mother told him to coax her first!
Once he got into that seasoning workshop and snack workshop and learned the secret recipes, it wouldn’t matter whether he married her or not!
Now he could barely accept it! He could ignore her lowly origins!
Songbai rolled his eyes in anger: “Where did this toad come from!”
Shen Dabao’s face flushed red. He pointed at Songbai unhappily, as if a husband was questioning his cheating wife: “Who is this man? How can you be so unfaithful?!”
Xingnong was speechless. Even looking at him was superfluous: “Throw him out!”
She picked up the hoe and continued digging holes to plant cherry trees.
Songbai and Shen Nan flashed, one on the left and one on the right, grabbing one of Shen Dabao’s arms and lifting him up. They used their Light Body Skill and left.

The two tacitly headed towards the deep mountains, flying away at lightning speed!
“Hey, put me down! What do you want to do?”
“Put me down! Help!”
✿✿✿
“Master, two big brothers, spare me!”
Seeing that the two were taking him into the mountains and going deeper and deeper, Shen Dabao was scared out of his wits: “I was wrong, big brother, spare me, woo woo”
The two, with perfect understanding, threw him into the deep mountains and then left.
Songbai: Damn it, how dare he come to Miss Xingnong and insult her? His Miss Xingnong was the future Crown Princess, and she would be the mother of the world in the future! This bastard looking at Miss Xingnong was an insult to her!
Shen Nan: The only princess of Jin Kingdom, the most noble princess in the world! This toad dared to have such wishful thinking, and even spoke in a condescending tone! Let him be food for the wolves! Even if he was reincarnated ten times in his next life, he wouldn’t be worthy of Miss Xingnong!
Speaking of which, Master should have returned to Jin Kingdom, right?
When will he come back to take the princess back to the country?
The princess has suffered too much!

Jin Kingdom
The imperial palace of Jin Kingdom was twice the size of Chu Kingdom.
The floor of the main hall of the Jin Kingdom imperial palace was entirely paved with white jade.
The majestic palace was adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, golden tiles and red walls, stretching endlessly, resplendent and magnificent.
The most powerful country in the Central Plains, it truly lived up to its name!
Hall of Supreme Harmony
From afar, roars came one after another: “What’s going on with the West River Weir? So much silver has been invested, and now you’re saying it can’t be built? It’s simply impossible to complete! Who was it who patted their chest and said that as long as the West River Weir was built, it could store water during droughts, divert water during floods, and the West River Plain would never be flooded? For generations to come, the West River would be safe from droughts and floods? I don’t care what difficulties you’re facing now, even if you have to crawl out of your coffins, you have to overcome these difficulties and build the West River Weir!”
“The Governor-General of Jiang Huai, that wolf cub, actually embezzled so much silver? Kill him! Kill him without mercy!”
“What? The Japanese pirates are disguised as pirates again, harassing the people on the border? Fight them! Sink those bastards!”
The civil and military officials in the main hall stood respectfully, not daring to move, bombarded by the roaring voice of the short-tempered emperor for an entire morning.
It was deafening!
Finally, the words “If you have something to report, speak now. Otherwise, the court is dismissed” rang out. Everyone hurriedly said in unison with respect: “Your humble servants respectfully send off Your Majesty!”
Only after the figure in bright yellow disappeared from their sight did everyone heave a sigh of relief and rub their ears!
Their entire ears, their entire bodies relaxed!
Finally, peace and quiet!
Everyone left one after another.
“Your Majesty, why was your temper particularly bad at the morning court session today?”
“A noble consort gave birth to the Twelfth Prince last night!!”
Hearing this, all the ministers understood!
So today was another day when the emperor’s wish to have a princess was dashed!
“Oh no! I want to ask for leave tomorrow!”
“I want to ask for a month’s leave!”
“A month isn’t enough, is it? I want to retire!”
They were exhausted. When would a princess come to save them?
Otherwise, the emperor’s temper would probably remain volatile until the next consort got pregnant!
They couldn’t stand it!
Censor Tang walked out of the main hall, looked at the sky, and thought: “Heavens! Don’t be too biased. I’ve already given birth to five daughters, and the emperor has already given birth to twelve sons. When will you give me a son?”
