The Young Prince’s Farming-Science PhD Consort

She is a PhD researcher at an agricultural science institute in a livestock technology center, supported by a national stipend. She is highly skilled in agricultural production and livestock farming, and her research has earned worldwide acclaim. When she discovers that a large amount of research funding has been embezzled, the culprit causes a car accident that takes her life. Her soul transmigrates into the body of a prince’s maid in ancient times, who has just died while giving birth. She manages to deliver the baby. He is the young prince Qin Gong, a member of the royal family. Cold and hard to read, he is decisive and ruthless, and assists in governing the court. Though a man of justice, there is one woman who makes him defy convention and change everything, tugging at his heart wherever she goes. Li Jiujiu is a maid, but her fate changes in an instant, like the weather. She becomes a princess consort, and her husband’s affection clings to her like glue. The two are always together, and even their arguments are sweet. All she has to do is act coquettish, and he’ll agree to anything. They live a sweet, happy life, farming in the fields and growing bountiful crops that bring in heaps of gold and silver. With modern technology and first-rate skills, she enjoys a peaceful rural life, managing the household and raising children, and a happy life as a family of three. [Excerpt One] The official said menacingly, “You little brat, go call your mother to pay the taxes.” “Ptooey.” “This spit is your tax payment.” The little brat the official had addressed dragged over a stool, sat by the door, and said arrogantly, “Have you ever seen a Beile pay taxes?” The leader behind him heard how brazen the child was and came forward to take a look. He immediately dropped to his knees. “Little Beile, we were blind and failed to recognize you. We’ll leave right away and make sure to teach them a lesson when we get back.” Never mind that the little brat was a Beile. Who would dare provoke his father? [Excerpt Two]“The farmers sing as they rise again, oh, they rise and sing…” Li Jiujiu was working in the fields. She noticed someone trampling the vegetables she had painstakingly grown, and looked up. “I wonder what I’ve done to offend Your Highness, for you to trample my vegetables like this.” Oh no, Mother’s in trouble! The little one rushed to her rescue, only to find that the troublemaker was his own father. The little one ran over and grabbed the prince’s leg. “Father, you’re here! Don’t crush Mother’s Hybrid No. 1!” The little one clung tightly to his father’s leg. Chinese cabbage was his favorite, and it would be such a shame to see it trampled. The young prince was not pleased. Why would this woman give their child such a name? Why wasn’t she at home? What was she doing out in the fields? If she stayed home, she’d just fiddle with those bottles and jars. Qin Gong grabbed Li Jiujiu’s hand. “Come on, let’s go home and help Your Highness get some sleep.” It was broad daylight! Instead of sleeping, she’d rather focus on developing ways to increase crop yields and make a fortune through farming. [Excerpt Three]“Who says women are inferior to men? No, they’re not…” Seeing Li Jiujiu so happy made the young prince happy too. Good agriculture meant the people wouldn’t go hungry, but how could this woman go out in public? Wasn’t she bringing shame on his household? “Jiujiu, shall we go back?” “You good-for-nothing, get lost! Don’t step on the vegetables!”
