After Marrying a Vegetative Princess, I Went Crazy With Joy!

Chapter 66:

Chapter 66:

Husband there are still so many stories you havent told me!

Even during her comatose state, Princess Changle was aware of her surroundings. Her parents frequently visited, so she never felt alone.

Due to this extended family presence, Changle felt like her private space with her husband was being invaded. Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Er and Empress Zhangsun returned to their residence.

Li Chengqian also went back to the Eastern Palace. After some contemplation, he sighed before saying, Go and deliver a message to my cousin

Li Chengqian regretted that his sister was forced into marrying a peasant due to her unconsciousness instead of marrying his cousin, Eldest Grandson Chong. The latter was a close and trusted partner since childhood.

Considering his close relationship with Eldest Grandson Chong and his inability to marry his sister Li Lizhi due to her marriage to a peasant, Li Chengqian felt disappointed.

Eldest Grandson Chong, who often visited the palace and was close to the crown prince, knew the personalities of various princesses well. He believed Princess Changle was the best choice, making him feel resentful about the situation.

Eldest Grandson Chongs feelings of regret, frustration, and even contempt for the way he was treated by the Princess Mansion authorities and Su Li, the farmer, brewed inside him.

Fortunately Princess Changles life was on the brink of death, and she remained unconscious

Thinking this way, Eldest Grandson Chong felt more at ease.

He even entertained a more malicious thought, How long could Princess Changle live in this state? Once she passed away, would Su Li not be buried with her?

Considering all of this, Eldest Grandson Chong could find some comfort, and thankfully, he wasnt married to Princess Changle when she fell into a coma. Otherwise, he would be the unlucky one.

Eldest Grandson Chongs current emotions were filled with contradictions, but most of his negative feelings were directed towards Su Li.

Regardless of the situation, Changle had already been engaged to Eldest Grandson Chong, and seeing her married to another man naturally stirred up hostility towards him in Eldest Grandson Chongs heart.

Moreover, because of Princess Changles unique condition, Zhangsun Chong could comfort himself and maintain a psychological equilibrium, perhaps even feeling a sense of victory.

News about Princess Changles awakening arrived from the East Palace!

What? Princess Changle woke up? How is that possible? Zhangsun Chong abruptly stood up, his gaze fixed on the messenger approaching from the East Palace.

No I mean, the royal physicians are at a loss. When did this happen? Zhangsun Chongs heart was complex, but he concealed it on his face.

Just today. The Princesss Mansion sent news this morning. His Majesty, the Queen, and the Crown Prince visited the Princesss Mansion. They only returned in the afternoon and sent me to deliver a message to you. The young eunuch whispered.

Zhangsun Chong stood frozen in place, his mindset suddenly unbalanced.

Princess Changle!

How could she wake up?

She was the woman who was supposed to be married to him!

Zhangsun Wuji had previously told Zhangsun Chong that even if he didnt marry Princess Changle, he would still marry another princess.

Zhangsun Wu Fei and Li Er didnt have many daughters. Apart from Princess Changle, none others were the right age for Zhangsun Chong. Hence, Zhangsun Wuji eventually chose Princess Gao Yang, three years younger than Princess Changle!

How could Zhangsun Chong not know about the often naughty and arrogant Princess Gao Yang, who always followed Princess Changle?

Princess Gao Yangs appearance wasnt bad, but could it compare to Princess Changles natural beauty?

And their personalities were like night and day

Originally, Zhangsun Chong could console himself with the thought that Princess Changles life was nearing its end. After all, that was what the royal physicians had said, and even the sage and great scholars were helpless.

But now, with the news of Princess Changle waking up, the realization of the vast difference between Princess Gao Yang and Princess Changle, coupled with the image of Su Li, the simple peasant who might eventually succeed, all these thoughts whirled in Zhangsun Chongs mind. His mindset was instantly thrown off balance.

All those memories replayed before his eyesthe time he entered the Princesss Mansion, Su Li holding Princess Changle, their intimacya flood of scenes from his memories played out like a movie.

He had believed that Princess Changle didnt have a long time to live, and he had consoled himself that Su Li was just an opportunist.

Now could it be that the fool was himself?

Despicable farmer! Despicable farmer! Zhangsun Chong gnashed his teeth as he spoke.

In the end, there was nothing to be done

After all, the marriage between Princess Changle and Su Li had already been established.

Could it be that my cousin has no feelings for me? Zhangsun Chong murmured.

I refuse to believe it!

Initially, he thought of seeing Princess Changle but feared witnessing something he didnt want to see. When he looked up again, the sky was already growing late. Zhangsun Chong hesitated in the room for a while before ultimately giving up.

Inside the Princess Mansion

Su Li and Princess Changle had set up a barbecue grill. In the inner courtyard, Su Li and Changle worked together. They had a variety of spices on hand, including cumin, chili flakes, pepper, and more.

The Tang Dynasty had just achieved a breakthrough and hadnt yet established connections with the Western regions. Spices like pepper and star anise were more precious than gold, and some countries in the Western regions might even launch wars for these spices.

Su Li had a stockpile of various spices, even more than the Princess Mansion. He had purchased chili peppers through the system, including chili sauce, chili flakes, and even devil peppers. Although chili peppers were originally from the Americas and hadnt been discovered by Columbus in this era, Su Li managed to obtain them through the system.

Unfortunately, he couldnt fully enjoy the spiciness of chili in this era, where the flavors were mostly derived from leeks, peppercorns, and other ingredients that paled in comparison to chili.

Thinking about the future freedom to enjoy chili, Su Li took advantage of a moment when he was starting a fire and had a few more flowerpots brought over. He planted the chili seeds in the warehouse and placed the flowerpots alongside those containing sweet potatoes and potatoes. After two months, the crops were nearly ready to be harvested.

The potatoes leaves and the sweet potatoes vines complemented each other, presenting a vibrant and pleasing sight.

In regions with warmer climates, sweet potatoes, and potatoes typically mature within three to four months. Su Li had planted more than a dozen pots of each, and when it was time for the harvest, given their high yield, he could expect to gather over 200 pounds of seeds. The sweet potato vines could also be propagated for further planting, potentially spreading throughout the Guanzhong region within two years.

In the future, sweet potatoes and potatoes would become a staple in countless households, benefiting numerous people. The people of the Xia Dynasty could even experience the freedom of enjoying roasted sweet potatoes and fried potatoes thousands of years ahead of their time.

Husband, what kind of flower is this? Princess Changle watched as Su Li finished planting the peppers and carefully handled the sweet potatoes in the flowerpot, her curiosity piqued.

This isnt a flower; its food, Su Li said.

Producing a thousand catties per acre When its planted and spread to millions of households, countless lives will be saved, and the fear of starvation will be eliminated! Su Li spoke.

Princess Changle stepped back, fully aware of the significance of producing such a large quantity of food.

Dont worry. These crops are easy to grow and maintain. Just give it another month or two! Su Li smiled.

Princess Changle observed the seemingly ordinary sweet potatoes from a distance. She understood that her husband had many secrets, but she trusted his intentions and actions. The couple then moved to the barbecue grill.

Lamb skewers, chicken wings, large drumsticks, shiitake mushroom skewers, and beef skewers, a forbidden treat in this era, were all on the menu.
