Chapter 525: Rolling in the Fields
In the afternoon, the rain cleared.
Leng Yu Yan went to the medicine field again to gather herbs, and Ye Yiheng, worried, insisted on accompanying her.
Because it had rained, the ridge was slippery and the fields were muddy, making it quite difficult to walk through.
Although Leng Yu Yan was the Pavilion Master, whenever she was at Linqing Pavilion, she often moved through the fields. Even on the narrow paths of the ridge right after the rain, she could walk with ease.
On the contrary, Ye Yiheng, who had followed her, was constantly swaying from side to side with his tall figure.
Leng Yu Yan slightly frowned and stood at one end of the ridge, tilting her head to look at him.
"I’ve come this far, and Your Highness is still five yards away from me."
Earlier when they had set out, someone had said they would take care of her, and she had said there was no need. He had insisted, saying that he had regained his sight and could take care of her if anything happened to her in the field.
Unexpectedly, walking alone proved challenging for him.
"This path is too narrow; it gets slippery after the rain. It was fine yesterday when it was sunny, but today it’s really hard to walk," Ye Yiheng explained aloud, then muttered under his breath, "Couldn’t the path be a bit wider."
Leng Yu Yan shook her head, "This path is called a ridge, it not only allows people to walk on it, but plants can also be grown on the sides. Most importantly, it helps in water retention, and it serves as a boundary between fields."
"Has the Crown Prince ever been to the fields before?" she asked with a slight smile, "The fields are precious, usually, the ridges are quite narrow."
