Chapter 1204: Yu Wenling Trespassing Into the Farm
Translator: Lonelytree
Just as Guo Bing had expected, although these people had stepped on twenty bundles of rice, they were already so tired that their faces were red, and they were out of breath.
I say, Lord Zhou,” Lord Li complained to his partner,” Why am I the only one stepping on the pedal?!”
“Lord Li, you’re accusing me!” Lord Zhou immediately said in dissatisfaction,” I was clearly the one who stepped on it with all my strength. You didn’t use any strength at all!”
Lord Li’s face turned red.” You…” He was really wronged.
He had clearly used a lot of strength to step on it again, but why did the more he stepped on it, the more effort it took.
Then, he said to Guo Bing,” First Lieutenant Guo, is this machine broken? Why is it draining more energy from me? Why don’t you come over and give it a try?” This way, he could stop and rest.
Guo Bing rolled his eyes and said,” Lord Li, don’t worry. The machine is not broken at all. It was because when you stepped on the pedal at the beginning, you used too much strength and consumed all your strength. Now, after your energy lessens, it feels more strenuous. Lord Li, you should take it slow. His Majesty has said that none of you can stop and rest until you finish half a bucket of grain! Oh, I still have things to do, so I won’t accompany you. Little Three, look after the lords!”
Little Three was laughing secretly at the side. When he heard Guo Bing’s words, he immediately stood up and replied very seriously,” Yes, Lieutenant Guo!”
A total of 12 thrashing machines were carried out. Yuwen Longyan wanted to poke the arrogance of these officials.
When he was in Taoyuan Village, even with Jiang Zhennan helping him, he was still exhausted. Moreover, the next day, his back was sore. At that time, he didn’t complain.
Now, these officials had not even started working, but they were already complaining about their hardships and tiredness.
Yuwen Longyan did not work the machine anymore. Instead, he sat on a chair specially prepared for him on the ridge of the field and looked down at the actions of every official in the field.
No matter who wanted to play tricks, they could not escape his sharp eyes!
In the palace
“What is it? Did you say that Imperial Father brought all the officials to Nanyuan Manor?” Yuwen Ling asked in surprise.
“Yes, Princess!”
Hearing this news, Yuwen Ling frowned slightly and asked in confusion,” Why did Father bring all the civil and military officials to the Nanyuan Manor for no reason?
Xiao Tao also said in confusion,” That’s right, Princess. Why is that?”
Then, as if she had thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she said,” Princess, this servant remembers that the Nanyuan Manor was once a forbidden area in the eyes of everyone in the capital! Nanyuan Manor had become very mysterious. More and more people were curious about it.”
But then, she was puzzled.” But the moment the Great General returned, the forbidden area was opened. What’s going on?”
Yu Wenling lowered her head and seemed to be thinking. She said, “Nanyuan Manor was originally the General’s! It’s not strange that the place is open to the public when he returns. What I find strange is, why would Imperial Father bring the civil and military officials and Imperial Brothers over there?”
She immediately felt extremely curious. Then, she rolled her eyes and said,”
Xiao Tao, let’s go. We’ll go to the Nanyuan and see what’s going on!’
Xiao Tao immediately stopped her,” But Princess, Consort De won’t allow you to leave the palace.”
Consort De was worried that the Princess would go to the General’s manor the moment she left the Palace, so she strictly prohibited her from leaving the Palace.
The Ninth Princess immediately said, “Mother doesn’t want me to leave the palace. In that case, we’ll sneak out and not let Mother know!”
Xiao Tao was hesitant to persuade the ninth princess, but with her temper, she was not someone a servant could persuade.
However, it was too eye-catching for the two unmarried women to be wandering outside. Yuwen Ling and Xiao Tao dressed up as men and sneaked out.
Yuwen Longyan was sipping his tea and watching the civil and military officials in a leisurely manner.
Suddenly, a guard ran to Jiang Zhennan and reported,” General, there’s a woman dressed as a man outside. She claims to be the Ninth Princess and wants to see the general!”
When Jiang Zhennan heard this, he frowned slightly. Then, he walked in front of Yuwen Longyan and reported truthfully,” Your Majesty, there’s a woman dressed as a man outside. She claims to be the Ninth Princess and wants to break into the estate!”
Hearing Jiang Zhennan’s report, Yuwen Longyan frowned. When he saw that the farm was filled with men, his sharp eyes darkened.
This girl was really spoiled by him. Some time ago, she had been clamoring to marry Jiang Zhennan, but he had ignored her.
Who knew that in the blink of an eye, she would bring her servants to the General’s Estate and even want to exercise her rights as the General’s Madam in advance? He turned a blind eye to all of these.
As long as it didn’t damage the Emperor’s reputation, he would usually let it go. Besides, he knew very well that Jiang Zhennan would never give up on Lin Yuelan.
“Your Majesty!” Jiang Zhennan called out to Yuwen Longyan, who was deep in thought, and said,” Ninth Princess, she…”
Even though Jiang Zhennan was the master of the manor, he couldn’t send the ninth princess away.
Yuwen Longyan smiled and said,” This girl is really too reckless. Minister Jiang, don’t take it to heart!”
He was obviously referring to the matter of her breaking into the South Park Manor.
However, Jiang Zhennan said very seriously,” Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess is still unmarried. It’s not good for her to barge in! If she meets someone with ill intentions, then…”
Yuwen Longyan waved his hand and said,” Minister Jiang, you don’t have to say anything. I understand. It’s just that this girl has been spoiled by me to the point of being lawless. It seems that I have to teach this girl a lesson.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuwen Ling, who was disguised as a man, ran in. “Father!” When she saw Yuwen Longyan, she was so happy that she rushed over.” Father, so you guys are really here!”
Then, Yu Wenling seemed to have noticed Jiang Zhennan standing beside her when she said this. Her eyes immediately lit up, and she said in surprise,” Great General, so you’re here too!”
The corner of Guo Bing’s mouth twitched, and then he said with a smile,”
Ninth Princess, that’s strange. The owner of this place is the Great General.
Plus, now that the Emperor was here, where else could the Great General be? As for the Ninth Princess,” Guo Bing sized up the Ninth Princess, who was dressed in men’s clothing, and continued, “What is the princess’s intention of dressing up so strangely and inappropriately and barging into Nanyuan Manor without permission?
Hearing Guo Bing say that she was dressed inappropriately, she was so angry that her fair face turned green. She glared at Guo Bing.” You…” “What’s wrong with me? Did I say something wrong?” Guo Bing said.
“Father, did you hear…” Yuwen Ling said coquettishly..
