Chapter 632 - Long Journey
The soft spring wind of March gently brushed across her cheek. Gentle rays of sunlight shone brilliantly on the mountain. On both sides of the road were wheat fields and they were so green it looked like the plants had been dyed. It truly showed that the world was full of verdant life.
"Hey! I gotta say! The wheat seeds that Royal Princess Jinan bred are not that bad. Our entire north has been planted with it. It's said that the previously fertile and plentiful Jiangsu area is now envying the people in the north. Not only are they able to eat enough to fill their stomachs but they can also, from time to time, enjoy the tastes of refined grain!"
Ning Donghuan gazed at the bright green wheat fields with the farmers working hard in them. He couldn't help but let out a few compliments. In actuality, as someone who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, how could he possibly know how hard the lives of commoners were? In the past, being able to eat food made with white flour was considered something only the wealthy could enjoy ah! Thus, just how wretched were the lives of the commoners in the north then?
"That's right! The common people have plenty, the treasury is full, and Royal Princess Jinan's contributions cannot be forgotten ah!" Ning Donglan agreed as he glanced over in the direction of the youth dressed in white.
"But...why aren't we traveling along with Royal Princess Jinan's large entourage ah? I heard that the conditions in the north aren't always peaceful, so if we traveled together as a group, wouldn't that be more safe?" Ning Donghuan was a bit puzzled. Clearly, they were all headed towards the same destination and He Wanning and Yuan Xueyan were also very good friends with Royal Princess Jinan, so why were they traveling separately?
He Wanning heard his question and immediately answered, "Every time Younger Sister Xiaocao travels, she always brings along delicious snacks, fruit juices, and canned goods. Third Young Master Ning, perhaps you're more interested in the good things that Younger Sister Xiaocao brought along?"
Ning Donghuan immediately rearranged his expression and stated seriously, "Am I, Ning Donghuan, such a person ah? I was just curious. You two are really good friends with Royal Princess Jinan and usually inseparable from each other. How come this time you're not with her?"
"In the past when we were together it was because we had agreed upon having fun together. This time Younger Sister Xiaocao is out on an official mission, so how could we muck it up for her?" He Wanning stated in a lofty manner.
Ning Donghuan 'tsked' at her and then turned his attention to the only person he hadn't met before, the youth, "Royal Prince Guo, I heard that in the past your health wasn't the best and that it was Royal Princess Jinan who helped you by giving you some medicines and writing medicinal cuisines for you. Are that lass's medical abilities even better than the imperial physicians'?"
Yu Xiaocao, who was currently disguised as the never before seen Royal Prince Guo, replied in a shameless manner, "This young prince cannot make the judgement as to whether Royal Princess Jinan's medical skills are better than the imperial physicians'. However, my imperial uncle's body and myself have all been treated by her, so she definitely has some skill!"
Ning Donghuan seemed to fall into contemplation and he muttered to himself, "In the future, I cannot offend that lass. Otherwise, if I have an issue with my body in the future, then I'll have no face to beg her for help."
Yu Xiaocao let out a peal of laughter, "Third Young Master Ning, you are quite a practical person!"
"I just have a clear view of things!" Ning Donghuan didn't think he was doing anything wrong, "However, when will Little Black and Little White have pups ah? If I could get one, then I could die contently!"
