After Xie Ming'an left, the days slowly passed.
He wasn't in the habit of writing letters, it seemed, so Shen Ningning had to wait for his return to learn the outcome.
In the meantime, the sweet potatoes planted by Dong Sanhua had become a great success.
Shen Ningning quickly recommended Dong Sanhua's method to the Emperor.
Although Mr. Zhang Liu was grief-stricken that his life's work had been burned to ashes, many commoners were still going hungry.
The Emperor no longer hesitated, immediately ordering the Chief Eunuch to begin preparing hothouses and cultivating soil for the sweet potatoes.
Shen Ningning took all the sweet potatoes grown in Xiangyun Village and distributed them as relief aid.
The people around the Capital City were finally able to eat a full meal, every meal.
While waiting for Xie Ming'an to return to the capital, Shen Ningning not only went to the palace to practice calligraphy with Mo Lingwei, but also paid closer attention to his illness.
