Chapter 253 Greenhouse

At this moment, she saw the man from three years ago—the decisive, ruthless one—in Luo Junhe.

He was naturally stunning, sitting in a wheelchair in white, his features as delicate as a painting, his manner elegant and serene, like a celestial being.

When he spoke these words, a hint of sharpness and authority crept into Luo Junhe's gentle eyes and brows, greatly amplifying his overall presence.

But it had to be said, this side of Luo Junhe was both dazzling and dangerous.

Ji Yuntang looked up at him, a smile curling at the corners of her lips.

"I didn't leave before, and I won't leave now."

Before Luo Junhe could even enjoy the moment for two seconds, Ji Yuntang suddenly leaned close to him, leaving only a finger's width between them, close enough to feel each other's breath.

Ji Yuntang narrowed her eyes, her slender, fair fingers tracing his perfect cheek, a playful smile flickering in her eyes.

"Not to mention, your face is so handsome, better than any man I've seen in the capital."

"Everyone knows the saying: 'With a pearl before you, why look for jade?' With such a stunning husband by my side, even just gazing at you daily brings me joy, so why would I ever think of leaving?"

Luo Junhe: "..."

He paused, looking at Ji Yuntang with a complex expression.

He hadn't expected Ji Yuntang to compliment his looks during such an intimate moment.

In the capital, many praised his appearance, but Luo Junhe didn't realize how handsome he was.

Deep down, he felt that as a general, being skilled in martial arts and leading troops was enough; good looks didn't matter much.

After all, on the battlefield, swords and arrows were merciless, and enemies wouldn't go easy on you just because you had a handsome face.

But now, Luo Junhe realized he was wrong.

It turned out that having a good-looking face was an advantage.

Just like now, his little princess consort had been staring at his face for a full half hour without blinking.

That was proof enough that he was truly handsome.

A bizarre thought suddenly crossed Luo Junhe's mind.

If Ji Yuntang was willing to stay by his side and grow old with him, then even if he had to use this face to seduce her every day, why not?

After all, losing face can be fixed, but losing your wife is permanent.

With that thought, he looked at the woman before him, a faint smile curving his thin lips.

Though it was a gentle smile, Luo Junhe gave it a seductive twist, his lips curling mischievously, his eyes and brows brimming with affection.

Ji Yuntang's ears turned bright red in an instant.

She was speechless!

A man's charm is lethal!

And a man who smiles with eyes that sparkle is even more lethal!

Who could withstand Luo Junhe smiling like that!!!

Ji Yuntang's heart pounded like a caged rabbit.

She quickly stood up, pretending to fan herself with her hand.

"Oh, don't you think it's a bit too hot here? Let's go somewhere else!"

Without waiting for Luo Junhe's reply, she turned and pushed his wheelchair.

With her back to him, she finally let out a long sigh.

Ji Yuntang thought to herself that when the time was right, she would have to give Luo Junhe a stern talking-to about not smiling like that so casually.

Especially not at other women.

A man needed to protect himself when out in the world too.

Unseen by Ji Yuntang, a triumphant glint flickered in Luo Junhe's radiant eyes.

It seemed that his first attempt at seduction had already yielded results!

He would have to learn more and keep at it.

Ji Yuntang pushed Luo Junhe, and before they knew it, they arrived at the southernmost rock garden of the manor.

Stretching before them were rows of white arched doorways, neatly lined up, creating a spectacular sight.

A look of wonder appeared in Luo Junhe's eyes as he asked, "A Tang, what is that?"

This was originally the back hill of Prince Ye's manor, with a large open space that had long been barren.

Luo Junhe had previously instructed Nanny Xu to clear the area and plant some vegetables, but she had refused, saying the soil was too hard to plant anything.

Now, however, the place had undergone a dramatic transformation.

Ji Yuntang smiled slightly and explained, "I thought it was a waste to leave such a large area of the back hill unused, so I had Chen Hu lead some men to till it, remove the weeds, and fence it off to create a vegetable garden."

"What you see is called a greenhouse. Vegetables grown in a greenhouse not only produce a lot and grow quickly but also effectively prevent pests and birds, providing protection."

"Most importantly, a greenhouse can grow vegetables out of season, ensuring that the entire Prince Ye's manor enjoys a steady supply of fresh produce. Over time, this saves us a considerable amount of money!"

Ji Yuntang spoke with pride, while Luo Junhe found it all fascinating.

What was a greenhouse?

He had never even heard of such a thing, let alone seen one.

Where did his little princess consort come up with these weird and wonderful ideas?

Suddenly reminded of something, Luo Junhe turned and asked, "Are the pumpkins, potatoes, and zucchini I eat every day also grown here?"

Ji Yuntang nodded, "Yes, along with cucumbers, eggplants, and tomatoes. They're all grown here, and they're ready to eat in about ten days."

The reason her greenhouse vegetables matured so quickly was thanks to the magical spring water in Ji Yuntang's space.

The magical water made plants grow three to five times faster.

As long as she watered them with it during planting, the vegetables in the greenhouse grew at an extraordinary speed. Ji Yuntang turned to speak to Luo Junhe but noticed he was frowning slightly, as if deep in thought.

Ji Yuntang asked, puzzled, "A He, what's wrong? Is there something off about this greenhouse?"

Luo Junhe shook his head and said softly, "This greenhouse is very good."

"I was just thinking, if this planting method could be spread, would all the soldiers and commoners have enough to eat and not starve anymore."

As he said this, a hint of sadness appeared in his dark eyes.

Ji Yuntang felt that Luo Junhe was truly kind.

Even when he himself had been harmed so badly, he could still think of the people of Dongchen Kingdom and the soldiers fighting.

This kindness moved Ji Yuntang, but she couldn't truly relate.

She crouched down and looked intently into Luo Junhe's eyes.

"A He, I may not be as selfless as you think. For now, I am only concerned with having enough to eat and wear for you and me, and the entire Prince Ye's residence."

"While greenhouse farming can indeed boost production, it can still fail without proper techniques and solid agricultural knowledge."
