Chapter 472 This winter is a bit lively 2
"Hei Dou, did you eat your fodder well today?"
Ye Jintang led her warhorse Hei Dou out of the stable. There was no room in the stable, so Hei Dou and his family had to bear the consequences.
Heidou's parents are both war horses rewarded by the system. Other horses can give birth to a foal in about seven days. Since coming to Heidou's family, Heidou has only one younger sister.
Hei Dou’s sister is not black, but a chestnut pony.
Compared to the playfulness of black beans, jujubes are much gentler.
When Ye Jintang came over to hold Xiaozao's hand, it came over and rubbed her palm considerately.
"Good girl, I'll take you for a walk later."
Ye Jintang, who was in a good mood, gently stroked Xiaozao's mane and liked it very much.
Like other war horses, the Ningchuan horse gave birth to a foal after seven days.
Perhaps the breeding conditions in the space were too good, the newborn foal looked extremely tough, and soon it was jumping up and down in the stable.
The healthy birth of the first foal gave Ye Jintang great confidence. She believed that it would not be long before she would have a business team composed entirely of Ningchuan horses.
In the future, more goods will be transported from Ningchuan City to various parts of Tianqin State.
She immediately asked Qiao Yuan to look for Ningchuan horses everywhere. As long as they were adult horses, she would buy them no matter how much money they offered.
However, within seven or eight days, Ye Jintang had received more than 10 Ningchuan horses, several of which were rare stallions, and were worth tens of thousands of taels of silver when they were purchased.
After settling all the Ningchuan horses, Ye Jintang waited to collect the foals.
But before her foal arrived, she had to wait for Xiao Mo's letter.
Another messenger brought her three letters by carrier pigeon.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Ye Jintang really didn't know what to say.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't touched. Xiao Mo really went to great lengths to let her know the situation in the capital and how much he missed her.
"The dignified Danyang Marquisate really has no bottom line in what they do. Ye Yanran is still alive and well, yet they actually sent Xia Ying into the palace. Aren't they afraid of being stabbed in the back?"
Looking at the introduction of Xia Ying in the letter, Ye Jintang really wanted to ask Old Madam Ye whether she could use everyone as a bargaining chip for her own wealth and glory.
"The Danyang Marquisate was shameless enough to let Ye Yanran marry a second time and become the queen. Now sending Xia Ying into the palace is nothing."
Nanny Zhang was somewhat worried about this matter.
She is old and has seen all kinds of things in the backyard. The appearance of Xia Ying brings with it many uncertainties. If Xiao Mo really has thoughts that he shouldn't have, it would be very embarrassing for Ye Jintang to return to Beijing in the future.
And given Ye Jintang's personality, she might not even want the position of queen.
Nanny Zhang quietly observed the expression on Ye Jintang's face. She saw that she was looking at the letter Xiao Mo sent to her by carrier pigeon very calmly, without any look of anger or worry on her face.
"My queen, after the beginning of spring, should we set off for the capital right away?"
"No hurry, I still want to wait and see the spring ploughing. We will plant a lot of corn this year, and I don't know how many farmers will follow my advice."
The corn cultivated by Ye Jintang has a higher yield than wheat. She hopes that everyone can plant more wheat first to solve the problem of food and clothing, and then consider wheat after they can fill their stomachs.
Ye Jintang looked at the letter in her hand without even raising her head. She was wondering whether she should introduce an incentive policy to encourage the people to grow more corn.
"The spring ploughing will be over in May, right?"
Nanny Zhang's voice rose slightly. Now there was only one Xia Ying in the palace, but who knows how many women there would be in the harem by May next year.
This is extremely disadvantageous for Ye Jintang.
"May is neither too hot nor too cold, and my two children will be older and stronger, so I can feel more at ease when I take them on a long trip."
"Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will appoint Xia Ying as his consort?"
Seeing how calm Ye Jintang was, Nanny Zhang couldn't help but ask about the doubts in her heart.
"If it was to be enthroned, it would have been enthroned long ago."
As he spoke, Ye Jintang raised his head and looked at Nanny Zhang with a smile.
"Madam Zhang, you don't have to worry about me. If Xiao Mo dares to touch another woman, I will dump him immediately. He doesn't mind the dirt, but I do."
She felt sick whenever she thought about so many women in the harem sharing one man.
If that day really comes, she will leave her father and son behind without hesitation, and find a place to live in seclusion with Ping An, so that Xiao Mo will never see them again.
"Miss?"
Nanny Zhang opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to persuade Ye Jintang.
She has been with Ye Jintang for such a long time and knows her to some extent.
When dealing with Xiao Mo, she was extremely strong-willed and not only did she not allow him to have concubines, she even did not allow him to have side concubines.
The backyard of the Prince of Qin's mansion is always clean.
But the prince's mansion and the imperial palace are different. When an emperor has many things that are beyond his control, Emperor Jing and Queen Jiang loved each other and wanted to give their hearts to each other.
But in the end, Queen Jiang still died in the power struggle, and the Jiang family also declined.
Nanny Zhang was really afraid that history would repeat itself, but Ye Jintang was not Queen Jiang, and not just anyone could control her.
Putting down the letter in her hand, Ye Jintang raised her eyebrows slightly. She seemed to see through Aunt Zhang's worries. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Aunt Zhang, I believe Xiao Mo. He is not Emperor Jing."
The two have been together for so many years, and Ye Jintang believes that his judgment is not wrong.
When Xiao Mo was still the King of Qin, he did not marry a concubine for her sake. Naturally, when he became the emperor, he could withstand all the pressure and not enthrone any concubines, with only her as the queen.
Seeing Ye Jintang so confident, Nanny Zhang didn't say anything else.
I hope everything is as she imagined.
Letters from Daxue and Xiao Mo came to Ye Jintang one after another. More and more Ningchuan horses were produced in her space. The children grew up gradually in laughter and it was New Year's Eve again.
On New Year's Eve, the messenger brought Xiao Mo's gifts to Ye Jintang and the children.
It was a vermilion wooden box, which contained, in addition to Xiao Mo's handwritten letter, two wooden hairpins and several small wooden puppets.
Ye Jintang picked up the wooden hairpin and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
The wooden hairpin is exquisitely crafted, with the two people's names carved on the tail. It is obvious that it was made by Xiao Mo.
The peony flower on the tail of the hairpin is lifelike. I wonder where Xiao Mo, who is busy with political affairs, found the time to carefully carve the wooden hairpin.
Xiao Mo's thoughts for her overflowed from the two wooden hairpins, and Ye Jintang's heart was filled with sweetness at this moment.
"Mom, this wooden kitten is so cute. It looks exactly like Tuan Tuan."
When Ye Jintang opened the wooden box, An An kept staring at the little puppets with envy, but out of politeness, she didn't have the courage to reach out to take them.
"This is the little puppet that Daddy carved for you and your brother."
