Princess Jing'an smiled gently: "I appreciate the princess's kindness, but I have been a vegetarian for two years."
Mu Nanzhi looked incredulous: "You... do you really believe in Buddhism? Isn't it... not to accompany the Queen Mother on her purification?"
Princess Jing'an nodded and said a little lonely: "When you are alone, you have to find a way out, otherwise how can you live in the future?"
Mu Nanzhi looked at Princess Jing'an's calm face and felt very uncomfortable. He said hurriedly: "I was talking nonsense just now, so just pretend you didn't hear me, okay? From now on... I will never talk nonsense again. Also...I won’t eat meat secretly anymore, I...I promise you!”
"Don't worry, Princess, I won't tell the Queen Mother," Princess Jing'an said to Mu Nanzhi with a smile. She paused and said to Mu Nanzhi, "You don't believe in Buddhism, so you can eat meat, so don't wrong yourself. "In the future, don't force yourself to read these Buddhist scriptures that you don't want to read. I will try my best to speak for you at the Queen Mother's place."
Mu Nanzhi was a little confused when he heard what she said: "Why are you so nice to me?"
Princess Jing'an smiled and said nothing, then stood up and left.
Under the night, Princess Jing'an laughed secretly in her heart, why should I be so nice to you
In the past, I was so arrogant in Jingren Palace, which caused you to lose your reputation and caused a storm in the city. If Prince Ning hadn't taken the initiative to ask to marry you, you would have been forced to marry into the wolf's den in Prince Kang's Mansion.
I almost ruined your life, and you asked me blankly, why am I so nice to you
How could there be such a person
He doesn't hold grudges at all, and he's so silly that people like him.

The tenth day of November in the twenty-fourth year of Jiasheng
Lu Zhishan has been recuperating in the Suzhou magistrate's office. Officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Household who accompanied him went to various places in Jiangnan to inspect the disaster situation.
Du Heng came in from outside, sweating profusely. He washed his face before entering the backyard.
"Prince Qi, my subordinates have just sent people to send oranges and pomelo to Wutai Mountain and the capital respectively," Du Heng reported to Lu Zhishan, while thinking about it, he added, "They should be able to be delivered before the princess's birthday. Mount Wutai.”
Lu Zhishan nodded to indicate that he understood, took a sip of tea, and asked: "How are the Zhuangzi tea gardens in Jiangnan? Are they also affected by the drought?"
"A few years ago, my subordinates ordered people to build waterwheels. Each village and tea garden has four or five waterwheels. Irrigation is much more convenient than other villages. Although it has also been affected, it is still It won't have much impact," Du Heng also took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "But this year's rice is expensive and tea is also expensive, but we collected about 100,000 taels more silver than last year."
Du Heng actually held back something in his mind, the extra money was just enough to subsidize the princess's food expenses on Mount Wutai, but he didn't have the guts to say it out loud.
Hearing that the private treasury was quite abundant, Lu Zhishan was not happy at all. Instead, he frowned and said, "The common people are having a hard time."
Du Heng looked helpless: "There is nothing we can do about it. The imperial court does not pay attention to agricultural irrigation. Jiangnan is already considered a developed place, but there are few waterwheels in the fields. Coupled with this severe drought that has not been seen in decades, it is natural to have Prices have risen and people are having a hard time. Fortunately, the court has ordered canals to be dug and water tankers built across the country. It is not too late to make up for the situation. "
