Chapter 16 Diligence in Anping Palace
Just as he promised, Chu Yi quickly found the old doctor who was well-versed in farming in the Imperial Hospital and sent him to Ye Jinshu.

However, Chu Yi put forward another condition to the imperial physician: he could not come to Ye Jinshu all day long and could only come once every seven days.

The reason for setting this condition was that Chu Yi saw that the old doctor was also somewhat obsessed with farming. When he heard that Ye Jinshu invited him to go over and take a look at the land, his eyes lit up.

In order to prevent the two people who were obsessed with farming from causing unnecessary trouble in the palace, Chu Yi could only limit the number of times the old doctor and Ye Jinshu met.

Once every seven days is enough.

The old doctor really liked Ye Jinshu's land and he praised it highly as soon as he entered Anping Palace.

"Oh my God, oh my God, there is such a suitable land for medicinal fields in the palace. If I can grow herbs on it, it would be simply..." The old doctor thought for a long time and couldn't think of any words to describe his mood. In the end, he could only say a random word.

"The sky has eyes!"

The old doctor looked at the water spinach on the ground again and shook his head. It was a pity to use such good land to grow water spinach. The land should be used to plant some hard-to-buy herbs and take good care of them.

After carefully observing the land that Ye Jinshu had carefully cultivated, the old doctor slowly suggested, "Have you ever considered planting some herbs, Princess?"

After thinking about it, Ye Jinshu asked, "Are herbal medicines expensive?"

After thinking for a while, the old doctor replied, "There are expensive ones."

"Then let's grow something very expensive."

"The princess is wise!"

The two reached a consensus in a few words and successfully regarded each other as friends regardless of age difference.

Ye Jinshu had already begun to imagine that if she learned how to grow these very expensive herbs, she would be able to live a rich and happy life with her sisters by relying on these very expensive herbs when she was sent to the farm.

God is watching over us!

That day, the old doctor taught Ye Jinshu many things to pay attention to when growing herbs.

Some precious herbs are not like the water spinach grown now, which can be grown casually. The more precious the herbs are, the more careful they must be to cultivate. A little more or less water will not do, the temperature also has to be appropriate, and there are many other strange requirements.

"Have you ever heard of soul-nourishing grass?"

Ye Jinshu had never tasted such fine bran before. Medical skills and medicinal materials were Ye Ruoyan's field.

Her field is another.

"Is it expensive?" Ye Jinshu asked sincerely.

"Extremely expensive." The old doctor answered sincerely.

"Is it called Soul-Raising Grass because it can raise little ghosts?"

When the old doctor heard the precious princess mention the little devil all the time, he quickly begged Ye Jinshu to spit three times.

Ye Jinshu thought as he spat, ordinary people's souls do not need to be nurtured in the body. The souls that need to be nurtured are generally those of spirits or those without the protection of the physical body. Isn't that just raising a ghost?

"Princess! You are so precious, how can you say such a taboo thing? This soul-nourishing grass can be used as medicine to make a soul-resurrection pill, which is a miraculous medicine that can revive a person as long as there is a breath left!"

"Then why not call it the Resurrection Grass?"

No one had really thought about this question. The old doctor thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable reason. He could only explain: "Maybe it's because it has the same name as the Resurrection Pill." Ye Jinshu said "oh" and didn't continue to ask: "Then how should the Resurrection Grass be planted?"

"Resurrection grass, bah! Soul-nourishing grass! The place where soul-nourishing grass grows is still a mystery. From ancient times to now, less than 10 soul-nourishing grasses have been found, and each time they are found in a different place. Later, a traveling doctor bought a freshly picked resurrection grass at a high price and tried to grow it himself. Unexpectedly, it actually grew."

"He tried to grow more resurrection grass with the seeds he got from it, but he never succeeded. Later, he sold the seeds he had, hoping to meet someone who could help him solve this problem."

"I also bought it and tried many methods. Finally, I made it sprout. Unfortunately, the soul-nourishing grass withered and turned yellow not long after it became a seedling."

Ye Jinshu exclaimed when he heard this: "Why is this happening?"

The old doctor sighed and said, "I took the withered seedling to consult the itinerant doctor who first grew the Soul-Nourishing Grass. After checking, he guessed that it was because the Soul-Nourishing Grass did not like my voice and did not want to live anymore."

Hearing this, Ye Jinshu finally couldn't help himself and let himself go: "Hahahahahahahaha!"

The old doctor remained calm, as if he had seen this scene many times before. He waited quietly until Ye Jinshu finished laughing before saying, "If the princess is willing to give it a try, I will bring the remaining soul-nourishing grass seeds to the princess next time."

Laughing is laughing, joking is making noise, Ye Jinshu never jokes about money.

She agreed immediately: "Okay."

Don't look at her like this. In fact, she has always suspected since her third life that she might be an ordinary farming genius. If she can successfully grow soul-nourishing grass, then she will no longer have to doubt it.

Afterwards, the two discussed some details of the old doctor's previous failures. Ye Jinshu wrote them down one by one and prepared to do a great job.

By the time he came to his senses, it was already dark. The old doctor had to end his meeting with the princess and wait for the next seven days.

Today, there seemed to be someone outside Anping Palace who wanted to cause trouble because of the wooden sign outside her door, but perhaps because Ye Jinshu had already instructed the guards a day in advance, the people making trouble today were not as noisy as Chu Yu's day.

Ye Jinshu stayed in Anping Palace for another day. Her comment was, it was comfortable!

She is Princess Anping and should stay in Anping Palace!
Another day passed peacefully, and then the day I had agreed to meet Ji Yanqing arrived.

Ji Yanqing was brought in by Xiaohua after Ye Jinshu finished lunch.

The gentleman's attire was completely different from three days ago. He was wearing an exquisite white robe that fluttered in the breeze, and holding a book in his hand. Although one couldn't tell what the book was just by looking at the cover, Ye Jinshu had a hunch that it was the manuscript of "The Rebirth of the Legitimate Daughter"!

Today, Ji Yanqing is still handsome and his eyes are as clear as a spring. Although he is wearing a white robe, he has a grass-green belt tied around his waist as an embellishment, which is eye-catching.

When Ji Yanqing saw Ye Jinshu, he was about to salute but was stopped by Ye Jinshu.

"I told you that you don't have to bow to me. In this palace, at least in Anping Palace, I have the final say."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yanqing did not insist on bowing, but slowly stood up and smiled at Ye Jinshu, saying, "I thank the princess."

Ye Jinshu pointed to a rectangular stone table not far away that had just been set up yesterday. The four treasures of the study had already been placed on it in advance as arranged by Ye Jinshu.

“Write there today.”

Ji Yanqing took a look and replied, "Yes."

Ye Jinshu walked to the side of the land he had reclaimed, looked at the hardworking Mr. Storytelling who had picked up his pen to start writing a story not far away, and nodded with satisfaction.

That’s right, that’s it, her Anping Palace must be filled with the atmosphere of diligence!
