Chapter 433 Cotton Harvest
Ye Jintang's remarks were always so sharp that Xiao Mo couldn't help but peck her on the cheek.
"Hey, Jintang, it's a pity that you don't become the empress."
"Then you should stop being the emperor and give the throne to me."
"It's not impossible. Ever since my mother passed away, I have severed all ties with the Xiao family. I don't really care who becomes the emperor."
"Uh?"
Ye Jintang turned around and looked at Xiao Mo. This was the first time she heard Xiao Mo mention the late queen.
She only knew that the previous queen died when Xiao Mo was very young, and it was not easy for Xiao Mo to live in the palace.
Little did they know that his hatred for the royal family was so strong.
This topic was a bit heavy for Xiao Mo, so Ye Jintang quickly changed the subject.
"Qiao Yuan has brought back many craftsmen recently. How is the crafting of the prince's weapons going?"
"I have a lot more weapons, but the money I have is flowing out like water, and it hurts me."
Xiao Mo pretended to be distressed. Ever since he started making weapons, the 20 taels of silver in his hand disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. Making money was not easy, so it would be strange if Xiao Mo didn't feel distressed.
"It doesn't matter. The second batch of goods has been shipped out. It won't take long for it to turn into silver and return to the prince's purse. The prince can just arm your army."
Xiao Mo has to support 20 soldiers. In addition to weapons, they also need all kinds of food and clothing, all of which require money. But Ye Jintang does not have too much pressure, as she still makes money very quickly.
"Your Majesty, how are the farmers who grow cabbages doing? I haven't left the palace for more than a month, so I don't know the situation outside."
"Now the Chinese cabbage seedlings have grown. I heard from Mr. Cai that there has been enough rain this year, so there will definitely be a good harvest of cabbage and radishes. No one needs to worry about having no vegetables to eat this winter."
Since the bumper wheat harvest, all farmers in Ningchuan Prefecture have regarded Ye Jintang as a god. After all, they have never seen wheat ears as big as a palm.
When vegetable seeds were distributed later, everyone took the initiative to get them without any persuasion.
"Vegetables are a small matter. The cotton harvest is only half a month away. This is the most important thing. Your Highness must have someone keep an eye on it and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Of course, there are people patrolling the cotton fields every day. If there is any unusual movement, someone will report it immediately."
"That's good. This year's cotton seeds are also excellent. I am looking forward to seeing how good the quality of the cloth woven from the new cotton will be."
The two of them chatted about political affairs, and the two little ones didn't cry or make a fuss, but just played by themselves beside Ye Jintang, babbling.
"Dabao, we will only set up a few tables in the palace for Xiaobao's full moon banquet. When it comes to the hundred-day banquet, I want to have a grand celebration. You are not allowed to stop me."
Xiao Mo looked at the two pink and tender little babies and felt so envious that he wanted to pick the stars from the sky and give them to them.
"No need to go through so much trouble, right?"
Ye Jintang felt that for the twins' hundred-day banquet, they should set up more than a dozen tables and have everyone in the palace sit together to have some fun.
"I want everyone in Ningchuan City to know how much I, Xiao Mo, love my children."
As he said that, Xiao Mo kissed Ye Jintang hard on the cheek.
"Jintang, thank you for giving birth to Dabao and Xiaobao for me."
"Come on, you should hurry up and think of a suitable name for them. They are already out of confinement, and you are still calling them Big Bao and Little Bao all the time. There is no proper name at all."
"I thought of it, but I thought of so many and finally couldn't choose the right one. Don't worry, don't worry. There are still many days before the Hundred Days Banquet. Let me think slowly."
Xiao Mo held Ye Jintang in his arms and reached out to tease the two little babies.
He leaned over to Ye Jintang's ear and whispered, "Jintang, your body is almost recovered. Can we have sex now? I have been a vegetarian for several months."
"You're so frivolous all day long. You're so hot. Don't sleep with me at night. I want to sleep with Dabao and Xiaobao."
Ye Jintang pushed Xiao Mo behind him hard. He was so shameless that he actually had thoughts about her in front of two children, and it was broad daylight.
"Wife, you can't have Dabao. Xiaobao won't want me as your husband. I will be sad."
Xiao Mo has always been shameless in front of Ye Jintang, saying sweet words non-stop as if they were free.
Ye Jintang kept talking until his face turned red before he stopped.
I don’t know when, the two little babies fell into a deep sleep, and his big hands on Ye Jintang’s waist became even more unscrupulous.
"Don't mess around, the children are still here. If you wake them up later, they will cry."
"Then I'll be gentler."
Xiao Mo once again proved that what men say when they are emotional are all lies.
The two were clearly chatting and enjoying the cool breeze together, but in the end it turned into a duel that was not suitable for children. Faced with Xiao Mo's bravery, Ye Jintang could not withstand his torment even if he drank more spring water.
If the two little guys hadn't woken up from their sleep, Xiao Mo didn't know how long he would have to deal with this.
"How about letting Dabao and Xiaobao sleep in the outer room at night?"
Xiao Mo bit Ye Jintang's ear, still not satisfied.
"That's wishful thinking. It would be better if Your Majesty went to sleep in the outer room. I'm still too hot to sleep in my bed."
After a fierce battle, Ye Jintang was sweating all over. She immediately asked someone to prepare hot water. As for Xiao Mo behind her, she told him to get out of here quickly.
She really didn't understand why he was so energetic every day and seemed to have endless energy.
Ever since giving birth to twins, a boy and a girl, Ye Jintang suddenly felt as if time had been accelerated.
She had just told Xiao Mo about the bok choy, and within two days, there was a dish of stir-fried bok choy on her dining table.
I heard that farmers have recently been cleaning up the overly dense Chinese cabbages in their fields. They are pulling out the small ones and leaving only the big ones.
The pulled out cabbages become a dish on the farmers' tables.
After eating the Chinese cabbage, everyone suddenly discovered that this year's Chinese cabbage seemed to be more edible than usual, and it was delicious just by stir-frying it.
So people who have eaten baby cabbages began to look forward to the harvest day. If such small cabbages are so delicious, what would large cabbages taste like?
Not long after the cabbages started growing, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Ye Jintang held a lively Mid-Autumn banquet in the palace.
In a few days, Liuli and Shi Bin will get married.
Liuli married from the palace, and although she went through a side door, it was still very respectable.
To outsiders, Liuli was just a maidservant with some reputation by Ye Jintang's side, but they did not expect that when she got married, the dowry she brought was more than that of the girls from the official families in Ningchuan City.
The firecrackers blasted loudly early in the morning, and Ye Jintang, who was far away in the backyard, could hear the sound clearly.
At first she thought the two little babies would be scared, but they just stared at her with their big round eyes, full of curiosity.
Liuli changed into a bright red wedding dress and came to the backyard to say goodbye to Ye Jintang. Her eyes were red and she tried hard to hold back her tears, not letting herself cry out loud.
From today on, she is about to usher in her new life.
