Chapter 798 Hypocritical Crown Princess 6
When Jiang Chunxi met the prince, she told him about her sudden idea of growing vegetables in winter: "I have been very interested in growing crops since I was a child. I have read many books on this subject, but I have never had the opportunity to realize this hobby."
"This time, I was able to come up with the idea of growing vegetables in winter, all because of the Crown Princess' trust. If the Crown Princess had not given me the power, no matter how many ideas I had, it would be useless."
"I am not bragging. If I were to grow crops on the farm, I would definitely be able to accomplish a lot. Maybe I could even grow seedlings that would increase the crop yield."
"Of course," Jiang Chunxi smiled shyly, "This may just be my fantasy. After all, how could a mere woman like me have such great abilities?"
The prince fiddled with the Buddhist beads in his room with a solemn look in his eyes. After a long while, he spoke: "You are so arrogant, but I would like to see if you have the ability to cultivate seedlings that increase grain production."
"Of course, even if you fail, I will not punish you, so..." The prince smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Are you willing to go to the farm?"
"I am willing," Jiang Chunxi said with great excitement, "Your Highness, I am willing. I swear to Your Highness that if I betray your trust, I will die."
"You don't have to die to apologize," the prince said. "In the past few months, you have managed the East Palace in an orderly manner, which is enough to prove that you are still capable. If you fail, you can return to the East Palace and serve me."
Over the past few months, Jiang Chunxi has managed the Eastern Palace in an orderly manner, and the Crown Prince has naturally noticed this. The Crown Prince has always valued capable people, so although the Crown Prince is not optimistic that Jiang Chunxi can really cultivate seedlings that increase grain production, he is very optimistic about her abilities and wants to promote her to his side.
As for why he was not optimistic about Jiang Chunxi, but still wanted to send Jiang Chunxi to the manor, it was naturally because the prince was thinking, what if?
What if Jiang Chunxi really succeeds?
If Jiang Chunxi succeeded and could help him, the crown prince, solve the food problem and make the people of the world no longer have to suffer from hunger, then no one could shake his position as the crown prince. Even if his father was afraid of his son, he would not dare to easily think of deposing the crown prince.
Jiang Chunxi returned to the palace where Shen Qinglan lived with excitement and joy.
"Kneel down." As soon as Jiang Chunxi saw Shen Qinglan, she was hit hard by Shen Qinglan's angry voice before she had time to salute her.
Of course, Jiang Chunxi had already anticipated such a situation. She immediately put on a fear-inspiring expression and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"You slut, tell me the truth, when did you seduce the prince?" Shen Qinglan was so angry that her expression became ferocious. "I really regret it! I clearly noticed your slut's ambition before, but I was fooled by you."
"My Lady Crown Princess, I am innocent!" Jiang Chunxi cried, "I have been under your watch all day long. Don't you know whether I have seduced the Crown Prince?"
"You still dare to quibble," Shen Qinglan was furious, "If you didn't seduce the prince, why would the prince summon you for no reason?"
"Tell me, does the prince want to make you his concubine? Will he let you sleep with him tonight?"
That's it. No matter how the original owner explained about her past life, Shen Qinglan would not listen. She was convinced that the original owner had seduced the prince. Even though the prince had never actually paid attention to the original owner, Shen Qinglan was convinced that the prince had fallen in love with the original owner.
"No," Jiang Chunxi shook her head vigorously, "The Crown Prince summoned me just to ask me about growing vegetables in the house. It's not like what the Queen thinks, that he likes me and wants me to sleep with him."
"Also, the prince plans to send me to the farm to farm. The prince said that I can grow vegetables in the winter. If I were to be sent to the farm to farm, there might be some unexpected surprises."
The anger on Shen Qinglan's face immediately turned into joy: "What you said is true, the prince is not interested in you, and he really wants to send you to the farm to farm."
"Really, it's absolutely true," Jiang Chunxi nodded heavily, "The prince asked me to pack my things tonight and send me to the farm tomorrow. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to ask Eunuch An now."
"Alright, this is just a small matter, and it's not worth it for me to send someone to ask Eunuch An," Shen Qinglan regained her noble character, "Get up! Since the prince has entrusted you with an important task, you must not let him down. When you get to the farm, just farm the land honestly and don't think about coming back to serve me."
Although she had misunderstood Jiang Chunxi, Shen Qinglan was still not at ease, so she never thought of asking Jiang Chunxi to come back to serve her, which was considered as completely giving up on her as a servant.
Jiang Chunxi wiped her tears and stood up: "I will never let the prince down, nor will I embarrass you, my lady, but I can't bear to leave you."
"I have been serving you since I was a child. I have to leave you all of a sudden. I can no longer serve you. I feel very sad. I am also worried. If I am not here to serve you, will others be able to take good care of you?"
"Enough, stop crying," Shen Qinglan frowned in dissatisfaction, "I have so many people serving me, if you are missing, the people below will not be able to serve me well."
"Okay, let's go! Since you are leaving for the farm tomorrow, hurry up and pack your things."
If the person is smart, or if he is a master with normal thinking, he will usually reward something in this situation.
But Shen Qinglan was a fool who regarded money as dirt. Giving rewards to servants was simply out of the question. The original owner had served her since he was a child, but had never received a reward.
It is also because of this that the servants in the Eastern Palace who serve Shen Qinglan naturally have no loyalty to her as the Crown Princess. This would be the case if it weren't for the original owner, a loyal servant, who took care of her and helped her discipline the servants.
Otherwise, Shen Qinglan would have suffered a lot at the hands of these servants during the past six months since she married into the Eastern Palace. After all, every mouse has its own way of thinking. If the servants under her do not serve wholeheartedly, it would be too easy for them to cause trouble for a stupid master.
The reason why the original owner was able to suppress these servants was not only because she did have some ability, but the most important reason was that these servants were still waiting and watching whether the Crown Princess Shen Qinglan would allow herself to be manipulated by the servants under her, and what kind of position she held in the Crown Prince's heart.
