The Beloved Little Farmer of the Qing Dynasty

[Blurb] Little Prince Yin Zuo is on the verge of death when he runs into the Land God, who's skipped work to chase after his beloved. From then on, he goes further and further down the path of farming... While the other princes attend lessons in the Imperial Study, little Yin Zuo weeds the imperial garden. While the other princes practice archery and horseback riding at the training grounds, little Yin Zuo turns the soil and sows seeds in the princes' residential courtyard. While the other princes drink tea and eat pastries, little Yin Zuo waters the vegetable garden... Kangxi scolds him for neglecting his proper duties, Consort De resents him for lacking ambition, and his brothers and sisters mock him for lowering himself. The servants even laugh behind his back, saying he doesn't act like a master. He turns a deaf ear and does as he pleases. Then, later, they all come around... Kangxi finds food tasteless if he misses a meal of Yin Zuo's vegetables. Consort De feels uneasy if she doesn't eat the fruit he grows every day. His brothers and sisters have to work in the fields themselves just to get a cucumber or half a tomato from him. The servants compete to help him clear new plots of land. In the end, even the Land God, who has caught up with his beloved, sees him in a new light... Theme: Food is the people's first necessity, and the people are the foundation of the realm.
