Time flies, and six years have passed in a flash.

Many major events happened in these six years. The first one was that after Emperor Yuan He fell seriously ill, he abolished the crown prince's position as the crown prince with lightning speed, named him Prince Jing, and established a new prince who would not show off his mountains and rivers.

The eighth prince became the crown prince, and the throne was passed to the eighth prince the following year, and he became the supreme emperor.

The second thing was that the Ministry of War established the Arms Department and produced the first artillery piece, which was so powerful that it taught the small barbarian countries that had been nuisances on the border all the time to retreat three hundred miles and declare themselves as vassals and pay tribute.

The third thing is that the Yuncheng flood management has begun to show results. Not only has it withstood a rare flood in thirty years, tens of millions of acres of land on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will become fertile land, benefiting millions of ordinary people and enriching the national treasury.

These three major events are all closely related to Qin Xiaoxiao. One is that the Princess Protector's Mansion has never had any grudges with the new monarch, so there is no need to worry about being misled; the other is that Jingheng was named Nanming County King by the new monarch, all because of Qin Xiaoxiao and Jingheng

He ventured to the country of Italy and tried his best to obtain the secret method of making artillery; Sanze Qinhe made great contributions in controlling floods in Yuncheng. When he returned to Beijing to report on his work, he was promoted to four levels in a row, became a third-grade minister of the Ministry of Industry, and was given a mansion.

.

Now the plaque of the Nanming Marquis Mansion has been replaced by the Nanming County Prince's Mansion, and Qin Xiaoxiao has also transformed into the princess of the county. She is the most popular among the married women, and there are people who flatter her wherever she goes. Good luck is once again in the back houses of each mansion.

Spread around.

However, Qin Xiaoxiao and Jing Heng knew very well that although obtaining the secret art of artillery was a great achievement, it was not enough to confer a royal title.

If you want to dig deeper, firstly, the new king has just taken office, and he intends to show kindness to all civil and military officials; secondly, Jingheng, the Minister of Household Affairs, is extremely competent. In just a few years, he has reversed the national treasury deficit and can save millions every year.

The two banks, especially the sea trade, were supervised by Jing Heng, which brought huge returns to the national treasury.

In this regard, after Jingheng recovered the three million taels of silver cost of opening the sea trade, he simply gave the remaining 30% of the profit to the court on Qin Xiaoxiao's suggestion.

It’s not that the couple is selfless, but that the Princess Protector’s Mansion and Nanming County Prince’s Mansion are already prominent and eye-catching. Holding 30% of the net profit from sea trade for many years will definitely attract jealousy and cause trouble. By then, no one will dare to say anything new.

What's your attitude? It's better to give it away to save trouble.

After that, the new monarch became more and more affectionate towards the two houses, constantly giving him rewards during festivals and festivals, and treating Momo Nao Nao like his own son and nephew, allowing them to have more contact with his eldest son.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't have any ambitions, and she didn't feel any different from before after becoming the princess. She didn't feel like she was floating as some people had guessed.

It was a beautiful spring day and it was the time when the four Mo Mo brothers and sisters were on vacation. Qin Xiaoxiao pushed a few posts inviting her to enjoy the flowers, and then took the children to Xingyue Lake, planning to stay at the Villa in the Center of the Lake for two days.

Look at the situation over there on the plantation.

Seeing that they were about to arrive, Qin Xiaoxiao told her two sons: "You two will take your sister to the other garden in a while. After my mother has finished her work, she will take you up the mountain to hunt."

Momo was already a twelve-year-old boy. When he heard this, he immediately said: "Mom, my aunt and uncle are also there. It wouldn't be appropriate for us to come and not go to see them."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't expect this, and couldn't help but rub her eldest son's head happily: "He has grown up and is becoming more and more sensible!"

Momo tilted her head slightly and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Mom, I have grown up. It is not appropriate for you to touch my head like this all the time."

Qin Xiaoxiao moved her wrist and pinched his ears angrily: "As long as I live, you will be my son for the rest of my life. What's wrong with me touching your head?"

It’s here again, can’t there be another reason?

Momo rolled his eyes secretly, his baby-fat face bulged, and every expression showed displeasure.

Qin Xiaoxiao let go of his ears and touched her youngest son's head lovingly: "You are still filial, unlike your brother who always dislikes me."

Nao Nao had a straight face and stiff body, obviously not happy to be coaxed by his mother like a child.

August, who was sitting on the edge, smiled and rolled his eyes, and said softly: "Mom, please don't embarrass my second brother. I am such a big person sitting here, am I not worthy of your favor?"

Qiyue echoed her sister's words: "That's right, mother is partial."

Qin Xiaoxiao was so happy that she took the two little girls into her arms and said, "When did you show your preference, mother? If you can't explain why, I will punish one of you to eat only vegetables and the other to eat only meat at noon today."

The two sisters were immediately frightened and said in unison: "No, don't eat vegetables (eat meat)!"

The diet of the two of them has almost remained the same since they were young. One doesn't like meat and frowns when seeing vegetables; the other eats meat like a stick and will feel nauseous after one bite if the smell of meat is still there.

Qin Xiaoxiao was worried that the way her daughters ate was not good for their health, so they had to keep an eye on their diet and eat at least some vegetables or meat every day.

Whenever it was time to eat, the two sisters tried every means to avoid the meat and vegetables their mother fed them. They even wore the same clothes and combed the same hair to pretend to be each other, thinking that this way they could still eat their favorite dishes.

But it was useless to do so. Even if they looked the same, spoke and behaved the same, they still couldn't escape Qin Xiaoxiao's sharp eyes. In the end, they would be punished and had to eat more vegetables and meat miserably.

Seeing the two girls as if facing a formidable enemy, Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly: "I really doubt that one of you was a carnivore and the other was a herbivore in your previous life. I have never seen such picky eaters like you!"

The two sisters looked at each other, full of deep doubts about each other.

They doubted that what their mother said was true, and that it was about eating and being eaten. Otherwise, it was such a coincidence that they were born into the same mother's womb at the same time, and their diets were so different.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know what they were thinking, so she said earnestly: "You are just growing up, how can you grow well if you are so picky about food? Listen to your mother, eat vegetables well when you should eat them, and eat meat well when you should eat them.

Meat, don’t let me have to worry about you even though I have a meal.”

The two sisters were so afraid of their mother's endless chatter that they unanimously covered their ears and nodded sharply: "Mom, we are obedient."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't believe it at all. The two little girls had said this promise a thousand times if not ten thousand times, but they still had to be pushed before they would use chopsticks to pick up vegetables (meat) every time they ate, but there was nothing better.

Ways to supervise them.

The carriage drove straight into the plantation, and the five mother and son got off the carriage and went first to the silkworm-raising workshop.

The gatekeeper saw them from a distance and shouted in surprise: "The princess is here, the princess is here, come out quickly!"

When the silkworm girls working in the silkworm room heard the shouting, they all stopped what they were doing and ran out.

A young woman caught a glimpse of someone in the corner who was not moving, and hurriedly called out: "Aunt Zhao, come here quickly, the princess is here. You haven't seen the princess in half a year since you came here!"

Aunt Zhao froze, raised her head and said unnaturally: "I, I am dirty, it would be rude for the princess to see it, so I will disappear, next time."

The young woman said anxiously: "It's rare for the princess to come here. I don't know when the next time will be. Please hurry up and don't delay. The princess is a kind person and doesn't care whether we are dirty or not!"

Besides, they either feed the silkworms or clean the silkworm houses every day, and they don't roll around on the floor, and their bodies are not dirty at all. This Aunt Zhao is really very particular. She still looks like a beggar when she first arrived here last winter.

Aunt Zhao shrank and said: "You, you go first, I, I will go back to the house to tidy up." After that, she turned around and rushed out of the silkworm house and ran towards the backyard where they lived.

When the young woman saw this, she shook her head and ran towards the gate. Meeting a familiar companion on the way, she casually commented on Aunt Zhao's performance, with a hint of ridicule in her words.

The companion sighed: "Aunt Zhao is also a poor person. She has forgotten all the past and only remembers that her surname is Zhao. It was so cold last winter. If the chief steward hadn't discovered her on the way back and brought her to us, I'm afraid she would have died early.

He froze to death in the snow."

The big steward in her mouth was Xue Ya. With the expansion of the plantation, the original few stewards were no longer enough, so a group of capable female workers in each garden were selected and promoted to stewards, and they all came under Xue Ya's command.

The young woman nodded, and then gossiped: "Do you think Aunt Zhao has really forgotten everything? I don't know what happened to her to become like this. When she first came here, she couldn't speak clearly.

"

The companion waved his hand: "Whether she really forgets or pretends to forget, she is just a poor person. Let's not dig out her scars. If she remembers in the future and is willing to tell us, we can just be an audience."

After hearing this, the young woman was too embarrassed to gossip. She took her hand and walked forward faster: "Let's walk faster. If I can squeeze in front to talk to the princess, I will be satisfied."

The companion joked: "Look at your potential, how much fat can you gain by talking to the princess?"

The young woman said with a smile: "You are right, the princess has this ability. Since I came here, I have eaten well, drank well, and slept well, but I have become lenient and fat."

The two of them laughed and walked away, not realizing that "Aunt Zhao" whom they were talking about was quietly following them, hiding in a deserted corner, looking at Qin Xiaoxiao who was surrounded by silkworm girls.

Zhao Xiuxiu looked at this familiar face, covered her mouth tightly and cried and laughed: "Princess Princess... It turns out that it is like this, it turns out that it is like this, it is not a dream at all, it is all real..."

It turns out that she married the same person in her previous life. Although she didn't know why she became the county princess a few years later than in her previous life, her title did not change. She was the county princess in both lives.

Zhao Xiuxiu looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with no hatred in her eyes. The moment she regained her freedom three years ago, she couldn't hate anyone anymore and just wanted to live well in the rest of her short life.
