Growing a Lot of Vegetables

When Qiong Hua said this, she cried out of self-blame.

She felt guilty that she was unable to provide a good life for her child. It was a pity that she had to suffer with her at such a young age and that she was unable to eat well.

Hearing the sobbing, Jun Ning quickly said, "Mother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that." She bit into the cornbread and said, "No, I'll eat this. You eat this cornbread, so I'll eat it too. "

Qiong Hua pulled Jun Ning into her arms and said, "Good girl. I will work hard to grow more vegetables so that you can live a good life."

Jun Ning nodded, determined. "I'll help you, Mother."

Stealing food from the imperial kitchen was not her long-term plan. Her mother would not approve of that, and she could not bear to enjoy the good food on her own. Her mother ate cornbread every day.

Jun Ning decided to grow vegetables with her mother.

In addition to the cabbages that her mother was planting, she also wanted to grow other vegetables to ensure that they would have vegetables to eat all year round.

As for the vegetable seeds, her mother managed to obtain cabbage seeds by working hard with her embroidery. It had been very tortuous and difficult.

It was clear that she could not rely entirely on her mother's methods for procuring more vegetable seeds.

Jun Ning thought about it for a long time and decided that the only person she could count on was Yu, the boy who shared a chicken with her the other day.

Jun Yu's mother was the empress. As the empress's son, even if he did not go through the empress, getting seeds should not be a problem!

It was decided then. When they met the day after tomorrow, she would definitely tell Jun Yu to help her with this small matter.

In the following days, Jun Ning began to reclaim the barren land in The Cold Palace in preparation for growing more vegetables.

However, she was too small and weak. No matter how intent she was on helping, she could not even lift the hoe. Everything was in vain.

She could not reclaim the desolate land of The Cold Palace on her own.

Dejected, she cast the hoe aside and sat on a large pile of weeds. She wiped the sweat on her forehead and panted heavily.

Her small hands, small arms, and small legs were really useless.

Jun Ring really despised them!

She could not even compare this body to that of her previous life.

The difference was too great.

Jun Ning had made up her mind. From now on, she could not continue to be muddleheaded and held back by this small body. She had to continue her training and strive to reach the peak of fitness she experienced in her previous life as an assassin. She had to do this as soon as possible.

However, the prerequisite for training was to have a full stomach. Otherwise, how could she have the strength to train?

Sigh...

After going around and around, they had ended up in a wasteland.

"Yiyi, what are you thinking about?" Qiong Hua could see that Jun Ning had something on her mind.

Jun Ning was silent for a moment. "Mother, I want to reclaim the barren land in The Cold Palace. I want to plant more vegetables. Then, it'll be enough for us to eat all year round."

Qiong Hua agreed without even needing to think about it. "I can help you, but tell me, which plot of barren land do you want to prepare?"

Jun Ning pointed at the large expanse of barren land in front of them. It was about two acres in size and large enough. Weeds that were taller than humans were growing everywhere.

Just removing these weeds required a lot of time and energy.

"All of this, Mother."

"But... But..."

Jun Ning hesitated and stammered, as if she did not know if she should continue.

Qiong Hua touched her head dotingly. "No buts, just say what you want to say."
