Chapter 1207: Mungbean Soup!
Guo Bing looked at the n.o.ble princess in black, standing helplessly in the field, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Princess, you have soft skin and tender flesh. Don"t cut the rice in case you cut your hand. Why don"t you just stand in front of the thrashing machine and hand over the rice?" Eunuch Zhang was very perceptive as he arranged work for Yuwen Ling.
That was the easiest job.
She only needed to bend down and hand a bunch of rice to the person who worked on the thrasher.
"Ah, there"s a bug. There"s something biting me!" Before Eunuch Zhang could finish his sentence, Yuwen Ling saw a small green insect on the rice and immediately screamed in fear. She even ran without caring about her image and ran directly to Yuwen Longyan. She was so scared that her face was pale. She pointed ahead and said in a panic, "Father, there"s an insect, there"s an insect, it will bite!"
These officials, who were already exhausted from their work, could not stop without His Majesty"s order.
Now that the ninth princess had arrived, the scene seemed to have exploded.
Someone immediately shouted," Ah, there"s a snake!"
"Ah, there"s something biting my foot!"
..
Yuwen Longyan looked at the chaotic scene with a dark expression.
Back in Taoyuan Village, things were so smooth, but there were so many problems here.
He immediately shouted," Who gave you permission to stop? Continue! Whoever did not complete the mission would still have their salary deducted for three months!"
Everyone could clearly feel the Emperor"s displeasure and immediately did not dare to shout anymore. Otherwise, if the Emperor caught them and used them as an example, they would be in trouble.
Then, everyone returned to their previous state and did their own work.
After reprimanding the officials, he looked coldly at Yuwen Ling, who had run up to him and scolded," Yuwen Ling, are you going to help out like this? Go and work harder!"
Yuwen Ling looked at Yuwen Longyan"s anger and instantly understood that she had caused trouble. Moreover, she had made his father very unhappy this time. She immediately became fl.u.s.tered and uneasy.
Her face was pale as she said, "Father, Ling "er was wrong!"
However, she was really frightened by the black and dirty mud in the field and the various insects flying around.
Yuwen Longyan looked at Yuwen Ling coldly and asked, "Get up! Since you can"t help, just stand quietly at the side and watch. Don"t cause trouble!"
After all, she was a girl who had already turned pale from fear. He did not want to scold her too much.
"Yes, Imperial Father!"
"Eunuch Zhang, bring the princess to change her clothes!" Yuwen Longyan said to Eunuch Zhang. Just now, she was so scared that she fell into the field and was covered in water and mud. After all, she was his daughter, and his heart ached when he saw her.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Zhang bowed and replied with a great deal of respect. "Princess, please!"
After Yuwen Ling left, Yuwen Longyan sighed slightly and said," Minister Jiang, if Ling "er had 30% of Miss Lin"s intelligence, I wouldn"t have to worry!"
Jiang Zhennan replied," Your Majesty, the ninth princess is innocent and pure. Yue Er simply can"t compare to her!" In reality, she was too stupid, and Yue "Er could not compare to her!
Yuwen Longyan waved his hand and said," Alright. In your eyes, your Yue "er is like the moon in the sky and the stars in the sky. How can ordinary women compare to her?"
The corners of Jiang Zhennan"s mouth twitched as he said," Your Majesty, you flatter her!"
Guo Bing listened from the side and asked in confusion," Your Majesty, do you know Miss Lin?" Otherwise, he wouldn"t have commented on the relationship between the boss and Miss Lin.
Yuwen Longyan glanced at Guo Bing and said, "Yes, I went to Taoyuan Village a while ago!"
Hearing that Yuwen Longyan had been to Taoyuan Village, Guo Bing"s eyes widened in surprise." Your Majesty, you…"
Yuwen Longyan immediately put a finger to his lips." Shh!"
Guo Bing immediately understood what His Majesty meant.
There were many people here, so it was indeed inconvenient to talk about Taoyuan Village and Lin Yuelan.
Jiang Zhennan glanced at the exhausted officials and said," Your Majesty, let them rest for a while! They had used up most of their strength at the moment, so we should let them rest for a while to recover their strength. Yue "er once said, rest is an important part of work too!"
Yuwen Longyan pondered for a moment, trying to figure out the meaning behind his words. Then, he immediately laughed, "That is right. Miss Lin is such a knowledgeable person!"
After Eunuch Zhang brought Yuwen Ling out, he immediately asked Eunuch Zhang to pa.s.s on the message that everyone should rest for the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn.
Jiang Zhennan gave Guo Bing a look.
Guo Bing immediately left.
When they heard that they could rest for half an incense stick, everyone was stunned at first. Then, when they realized that it was indeed the Emperor"s order, they were so happy that they almost cried.
After that, everyone sat in the haystack or beside the bucket without any regard for their image. However, most of them ran to the ridge and sat down.
Not long after they rested, Guo Bing brought his subordinates over with a bucket.
In an instant, many people looked at the bucket in confusion. They didn"t know what it was!
Guo Bing gestured for his subordinates to put down the buckets and said," It"s been hard on you, my lords. I"ve made some Mungbean soup. Everyone, have a bowl to quench your thirst!"
"Green bean soup? What is this?" No one knew what Mungbean soup was!
Guo Bing first made a bowl for Yuwen Longyan, then asked Eunuch Zhang to send it over.
Yuwen Longyan still missed the sweet and cold taste of the Mungbean soup in such hot weather.
When everyone saw His Majesty take the green bean soup and drink it without hesitation, they immediately understood that it was definitely something good.
Then, everyone swarmed up and surrounded Guo Bing and the buckets. It was obvious that they were fighting to drink the Mungbean soup.
"Wow, it"s cold and sweet. It"s very delicious. Moreover, once I drink it, I immediately feel very comfortable!"
"Yes, I have the same feeling! This Mungbean soup is really delicious!"
After drinking the first bowl, they immediately rushed to drink the second bowl.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhennan and the others had expected this situation, so they simply asked someone to make a lot of Mungbean soup.
However, after Yuwen Longyan drank the Mungbean soup, he frowned slightly. The taste of the green bean soup was obviously not as good as the ones in Taoyuan Village.
However, when he thought about how Lin Yuelan had personally made the Mungbean soup in the village, he understood the situation.
After all, Lin Yuelan"s culinary skills were not something that ordinary people could compare to.
After Yu Wenling drank a bowl of Mungbean soup, her eyes lit up. She asked Jiang Zhennan curiously," General, how did you come up with this mungbean soup? You"re really smart!"
