So True! So Logical!

Shen Mingjiao finished processing all the accounts in one morning.

After all, she was used to doing this in her previous life.

Shen Mingjiao supported her waist and walked one round around the courtyard. She glanced at the bare courtyard and she felt a sense of excitement in her heart.

So when she finished her meal, she eagerly took Haitang to the garden.

For some reason, Feng Lisheng insisted on joining them.

"Your Highness, if you have something to do, go ahead!"

Don't interrupt my stroll in the garden.

Feng Lisheng said, "My brother allowed me to take two weeks off."

Feng Lisheng was the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army, but the border was relatively peaceful at the moment. He only needed to spend a few months every year to coordinate the situation.

Meanwhile, he was the commander of the western camp in the capital. He was in charge of training the troops and occasionally, he exterminated bandits. He was quite free.

"Oh," Shen Mingjiao replied casually.

In his previous life, when the old Emperor of the Northern Barbarians passed away, the few princes who had failed to force him to abdicate harassed him constantly.

Based on the timeline, Feng Lisheng should have set off for the border long ago.

Since he was still here at the moment, it could only mean that he had done his deployment in advance.

Shen Mingjiao lowered her eyes. Since Feng Lisheng did not take the initiative to expose her, she would pretend not to know. Anyway, it would not affect her current life.

The Prince's Mansion occupied nearly a hundred acres of land. Haitang originally thought that even if the back garden of the First Class Prince's Mansion was not a place where a nice scenery could be seen every ten steps, nor a place where there were posts every five steps, it should at least be a rockery corridor with waterside pavilions.

But who could explain it to her? What the hell is this vast open space filled with weeds?

Shen Mingjiao received her maidservant's questioning gaze and she glanced at Feng Lisheng. "You'll have to ask His Highness!"

Feng Lisheng touched his nose awkwardly. "I used to be in the military camp all the time, so I didn't have time to take care of it. That's why it's abandoned."

Haitang, who was born in a farming family, was speechless. It was such a big empty space. Couldn't he plant something?

Shen Mingjiao took the lead, and the three of them strolled leisurely.

A gust of wind blew past her ear. Haitang turned her head in confusion and seemed to see a figure flying over her head.

"Miss… It's…"

Shen Mingjiao patted the maidservant's shoulder very calmly. "It's fine. Just treat this as a unique scenery of the Prince's Mansion."

After saying this, another figure flew over their heads. Haitang looked up and met a terrifying smile full of whiskers.

Haitang clutched her thumping heart. "…" This scenery was indeed unique.

Feng Lisheng stared in a certain direction warningly.

On a large locust tree not far away, Xu Dazhuang shook his big beard.

Laughter immediately came from all directions. His younger brother, Xu Daniu, had a gloating expression. "Brother, you're too bold. How dare you scare the maidservant of the Princess Consort!"

Xu Dazhuang stroked his beard innocently. "I just wanted to say hello to that little girl!"

Everyone snorted in unison.

Tie Zhu, the youngest among them, lowered his voice and said excitedly, "The Princess Consort is really beautiful! She's prettier than all the women I've seen."

The person beside him rolled his eyes at him. "Why are you so excited about how pretty the Princess Consort is?!"

Tie Zhu snorted. "Can't I be happy for His Highness?"

Someone watched the two good-looking people walking side by side and he asked worriedly in a low voice, "Will the Princess Consort not like us?"

They were born at the bottom of the hierarchy. Even though they had made war contributions and become generals, they were subconsciously afraid of noble ladies like Shen Mingjiao. They were always afraid that others would think that they were poor relatives of the royal family.

Tie Zhu rolled his eyes and waved at them. "Isn't that simple? You guys…"

Shen Mingjiao looked at the large patch of weeds excitedly.

Where should she begin her plan?

"We have to dig a pond here and plant some lotus flowers…"

"We also have to hire the best gardener in the capital…"

"As for the flowers… Various peonies, orchids and camellias…"

"Over here, we shall leave a small path and lay cobblestones, then build an octagonal pavilion…"

"Right, and here we can plant a large number of plum trees. Red plums. When winter comes, there will be white snow and red plums, and we will make a pot of tea outside. Yes! How aesthetically pleasing…"

Shen Mingjiao planned excitedly along the way. Every time she said something, Haitang would take out a small notebook and write it down. However, as she listened, Haitang's hand that was holding the pen subconsciously trembled.

She quietly tugged at Shen Mingjiao's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Miss… H-How much money would these cost!"

Shen Mingjiao took the notebook and flipped through it.

Eh! It did seem like it would cost a lot of money.

She turned around and glanced at Feng Lisheng, curious about what he would say.

Feng Lisheng asked her curiously, "Not enough money?"

"If it's not enough, go to Huitong Bank and withdraw them."

Shen Mingjiao blinked. "Don't you think that I'm behaving like a vain prodigal?"

Feng Lisheng glanced at her, as if he felt that she had asked a stupid question.

"Why are you overthinking? Money is meant to be spent."

Shen Mingjiao: So true and so logical!

Actually, she was partly probing him with her previous actions. She wanted to know what Feng Lisheng's bottom line was towards her in this life.

She stared at Feng Lisheng with sparkling eyes. "Your Highness, you're simply the best prince in the world. There's no one else like you. At this moment, your back view is so tall and heroic, and you're dazzling…"

Feng Lisheng's ears turned red, but he interrupted her seriously. "Shut up, what are you talking about!"

…

Since Feng Lisheng had agreed, Shen Mingjiao had no more scruples.

Along the way, Haitang took notes. But…

Shen Mingjiao said, "Send someone here to get rid of the weeds first…"

Before she could finish her sentence, a man with a hoe flew over silently and started weeding in silence. The hoe was as fast as an afterimage.

Shen Mingjiao said, "Build a corridor here and get the masons of the Ma Family in the south of the city. We need to prepare…"

Immediately, a man dressed as a guard flew past. He grabbed the paper in Haitang's hand, and flew out of the residence.

Shen Mingjiao continued. "Get the flower seeds from the Fang Family's flower garden in the Flower and Bird market at the Southern side of the city. Each type is…"

As soon as Haitang finished writing, her fingertips were empty. She could only see the corner of a guard's shirt flash past.

Haitang was speechless.

A bright-looking youth flew over and said with a smile, "Aiya, how can I let Sister carry so many things?"

Without waiting for her to react, he snatched all the papers and rushed up the eaves excitedly. He vaguely heard a bang.

Haitang stared blankly. Is this also a unique scenery of the Prince's Mansion?
