Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 711 Grand Finale (15)

The hand holding the teacup paused slightly, pondering deeply over his words. After a moment of contemplation, she nodded, "Your idea is quite good, but there’s no need to disband the other part of the people. Both the ’Summer Garden’ and ’Winter Garden’ need warmhouses constructed. We will need the manpower for this as well. Although it’s early summer, constructing the warmhouses now is better than rushing to do so in autumn, especially since the areas of the ’Summer Garden’ and ’Winter Garden’ are not small."

Xiu Bingxi frowned, troubled, "Your Highness, this warmhouse construction... requires expertise, but... I don’t have people skilled in that area."

"Hmm, that is simple. Leave it to me. When the time comes, I’ll have them come to you."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"There’s nothing else. You haven’t seen your father for a whole year; go and visit him soon."

After hearing this, Xiu Bingxi was taken aback, but then nodded in gratitude, turned, and left.

Not long after he walked away, Xuan Yue caught up to him, handing over a basket of fruit, "This is a reward from Her Highness. Even with silver, you could not buy these." Then, pulling a rosewood box from within her wide sleeves, she gave it to him as well, "Inside is a Purple Lotus, which can save your life in a critical moment."

Xiu Bingxi was even more astonished by this gesture, and excitedly bowed to Xuan Yue, "Please convey my thanks to Her Highness for her generous favor on my behalf."

"Yes, I will pass on your message." Xuan Yue, looking at the excited Xiu Bingxi, understood how precious the Purple Lotus was for him—for there were no more than five people in the world who possessed such a treasure.

Xuan Yue watched him leave the Imperial Palace before she herself returned to report back.

"My lady, I have given it to him. He asked me to express his thanks for Your Highness’s great kindness," Xuan Yue reported.

Dugu Chen glanced at Xuan Yue, then turned his gaze to the small person in his arms, "He’s gone. Come have lunch with me; I’m starving."

Feng Xuxu turned her dark eyes towards him and laughed, "Such a grown man, still like a child, needing company to eat."

"Humph, how long has it been since you’ve eaten with me?" he said, sounding quite aggrieved.

Feng Xuxu blinked and regarded him suspiciously, "It’s you who are always busy. You have the nerve to blame it on me not dining with you, sheesh, give me a break."

"Heh heh heh, my dear wife, I was wrong. I will eat with you now, let’s go." Without another word, he took Feng Xuxu from her chair and left.

Those following behind them exchanged glances, trailing far behind them.

On the dining table, dishes that both enjoyed were laid out. Dugu Chen ate while serving Feng Xuxu, and by the end of the meal, Feng Xuxu had eaten an extra bowl of rice than usual. After the meal, she leaned back, clutching her stomach and glowering at him, "It’s all your fault. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have overeaten."

Dugu Chen blinked and chuckled, "Yes, yes, it’s all my fault. Let me rub your stomach for you."

"Not happening. You certainly don’t have good intentions." She snorted and waved his hands away, standing up and slowly pacing around the room, holding her waist.

Dugu Chen just sat in the chair, admiring his wife, feeling as if he could never get enough of watching her.

After Feng Xuxu walked around the room for a while and felt better, she stopped and turned her dark eyes to see her husband still calmly sitting in the chair. Curiosity filled her, "My husband, you seem rather idle today."

"Hmm, indeed." He was in a good mood and accommodatingly took hold of his wife’s hand.

Feng Xuxu slightly furrowed her brows, looking at her husband’s triumphant face, and asked, raising her eyebrows, "Is it settled?"
