The word "last wish" made Prince Jin's expression even more serious.
"In the third year of Chenglong, there was no rain in spring and summer, the crops withered, and there was no harvest in autumn. There was also a locust plague, and many people died of starvation, selling their wives and children. Their suffering was beyond words."
"Although my grandfather and father opened their warehouses to give out porridge to save people, it was just a drop in the bucket. They only saved less than one in a hundred people."
"Looking at the starving victims, my father said, it would be great if there was food that was drought-resistant, not afraid of locusts, and available in large quantities to fill the stomach."
"When my father was alive, he often bought all kinds of seeds to plant. Now I am just following his wishes."
What Jiang Changning said is basically true.
After hearing this, the King of Jin praised with emotion: "My father-in-law is kind and righteous, and has great love."
"Your Highness, I think sweet potatoes are the kind of food my father is looking for, but how do we promote it?" Jiang Changning frowned, looking embarrassed.
"Princess Jin, you can order Prince Jin to do things." Prince Jin said with a smile.
Jiang Changning chuckled, "But the Prince of Jin is too demanding in his demands for benefits, and the Princess of Jin can't afford it."
"King Jin is very generous and allows you to buy on credit."
"Please ask King Jin to arrange someone to discuss with Boss Zheng how to grow sweet potatoes." Jiang Changning would tell this matter in order to let King Jin promote it.
Although eating too many sweet potatoes may cause heartburn, it is better than starving.
The couple talked for a while, then went for a walk under the corridor hand in hand.
Half an hour later, the maid came to report that the hot water was ready.
Jiang Changning went to take a shower first, and after taking off his clothes he discovered that his arms were covered with bruises.
Xiulan asked in shock: "Princess, how come you are so badly injured?"
When they were learning to ice skate, Prince Jin held her arm tightly to prevent her from falling too many times.
Her skin was as white as snow, and now it was shocking to see her like this.
"It's okay, these will disappear in a few days." Jiang Changning said without too much concern.
Xiulan touched it gently, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Jiang Changning pulled the corner of his mouth. It was okay if he didn't touch it, but it still felt a little sore when he touched it.
"I should have put blood stasis pills in the water earlier." Xiulan said in annoyance.
"No need. Wait for me to bathe and then apply the jade skin cream. Okay, you can go out now." Jiang Changning did not want a maid to serve him when he bathed.
While Jiang Changning was bathing, King Jin told Chang Youshan, "Ask Su Huang to meet me at the bookstore tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chang Youshan took the order and left.
After a while, Jiang Changning came out of the shower and Xiulan used the jade skin cream to rub on her.
When King Jin saw the bruises on her arms, he was also shocked, "How could it be so serious?"
"It's okay. It looks scary, but it doesn't hurt." Jiang Changning said with a smile.
Prince Jin washed his hands and took the jade box from Xiulan, "Let me do it."
"Your Highness, please go take a bath. It's too late and it's cold at night." Jiang Changning advised.
"I'm not afraid of the cold." King Jin insisted on applying medicine to her, raising his eyebrows, "Besides, I caused this injury, I have to take responsibility."
After each lovemaking, Jiang Changning's waist was covered with his finger marks.
"Your Highness!" Jiang Changning called out coquettishly.
The maid is beside you, what nonsense is she saying
Xiulan was originally helping Jiang Changning pull up his sleeves, but now she quickly lowered her head and stepped out. She decided not to disturb the prince and princess from spending time together.
"My Ningning, your skin is so delicate and tender that I dare not use too much force." The King of Jin said with a double meaning.
Jiang Changning glared at him in embarrassment, "Apply the medicine and stop talking."
"Yes, as you command." King Jin said seriously.
"You're so smooth-talking." Jiang Changning raised his leg and kicked him lightly.
"Stop it, I'm so tired." Jiang Changning yawned.
Seeing her tired face, the King of Jin knew that she would not be able to eat meat today, so he concentrated on applying the medicine on her and said, "Go to sleep."
"Go take a shower quickly." Jiang Changning urged.
Prince Jin went to the bathroom, and Jiang Changning went into the bedroom. As soon as he lay down, he fell asleep.
After returning from a bath, Prince Jin did not wake her up. Instead, he held her in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.
In the middle of the night, King Jin was awakened by the fever and found that Jiang Changning had a high fever, with a red face. "Ningning, wake up."
King Jin called out several times but failed to wake Jiang Changning up, so he quickly shouted, "Someone, come quickly."
Su Fei, who was on night watch, rushed over upon hearing the noise and asked through the screen, "My Lord, what do you want me to do?"
"The princess is ill. Send someone to go out of the palace and invite the imperial physician immediately." Prince Jin said anxiously.
"Yes." Shu Fei hurried out to call someone, and then hurried back to see Jiang Changning.
Knowing that Jiang Changning had a high fever, she came out again, fetched some snow water, soaked a handkerchief in it, wrung it half dry, and covered Jiang Changning's forehead with it.
"Let me do it." Prince Jin picked up another handkerchief, soaked it in snow water, and helped Jiang Changning wipe the cold armpits, arms, palms and soles of his feet.
This method of cooling down worked a little, and Jiang Changning's face didn't look as red as before.
After more than half an hour, Chang Youzhong brought in Doctor Xue.
Doctor Xue bowed and said, "To Your Majesty."
"Okay, there are no more rules. Hurry up and take the princess' pulse." Prince Jin frowned. He felt that Jiang Changning's temperature had risen again.
Doctor Xue hurried forward to feel the princess's pulse, and then looked at her face, saying, "Your Highness, the princess has a cold that has entered her body and is trapped on the surface of her skin, so she has a fever but no sweat. In addition, the princess is weak, so her pulse is heavy."
"There's no need to talk about medical knowledge. Just prescribe some medicine for the princess. We can't let her have a fever any further." Prince Jin said in a deep voice.
Jiang Changning caught a cold because he stayed on the ice rink for too long today.
Prince Jin was very upset. He was a man and was not afraid of the cold, but Jiang Changning was a delicate woman like a flower and could not bear it.
Doctor Xue wrote a prescription and Chang Youzhong took him to the pharmacy in the mansion to get the medicine.
It will take time to boil the medicine. Even if King Jin is extremely anxious, he can only continue to help Jiang Changning wipe his body with snow water to cool down.
After a quarter of an hour, the medicine was delivered.
Doctor Xue did not dare to leave, and followed in, saying, "Your Majesty, as long as the princess sweats, the fever will go away tomorrow morning."
"Doctor Xue, please stay in our palace today until the princess's fever subsides," said the Prince of Jin.
"I will obey your orders." Doctor Xue did not dare to object.
Fu Cui came in and led Doctor Xue to a side room at the entrance.
Xiulan fed the medicine to Jiang Changning. Fortunately, although Jiang Changning was confused due to fever, he was still able to swallow it.
The next morning, Jiang Changning's high fever subsided. When she woke up, she felt dizzy and her whole body ached. She thought it was the aftereffect of sudden exercise after not exercising for a long time, so she didn't take it seriously.
He rang the bell to call someone, and the person who came in was Prince Jin.
He asked in surprise: "You today"
Why is my throat so dry
"Awake?" Prince Jin walked to the bedside and raised his hand to touch her forehead.
"Why didn't you go to the morning court today?" Jiang Changning asked the same question.
The King of Jin tucked the loose hair on her forehead behind her ears and said softly, "You are sick, I am worried, so I am asking for leave."
