As this nursery rhyme was being sung, it reached the ears of some ministers.
Although the prince lived deep in the East Palace, he did not hear it with his own ears. But when his staff relayed it, he also turned pale when he heard it.
"Chu or not...Does this mean that the prince is not worthy of being the prince? Only the one who comes from the east with purple energy can be the prince?"
"No merit in growing up? Gu, the eldest son, has no merit. King Huai, the god of war who stabilized the country, has great merit?"
The prince took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Angry, vomiting blood!
"Your Highness, don't be angry. This is obviously because someone saw that King Huai bowed his head to Your Highness! He is deliberately sowing discord!"
"His Royal Highness is the eldest son and the rightful crown prince. Although King Huai has great achievements, he was unruly when he was young. But now that he has a wife and children, he is more stable and willing to bow his head and submit to the throne... Some people can't sit still!"
The prince nodded, he understood the reason, but he couldn't bear to say that these words were too heartbreaking.
If only the children were singing...
The imperial court just sent people here to stop the children from singing such nursery rhymes...
Someone at the court meeting over there asked the emperor to reinstate Prince Huai to his post.
"Now it seems that King Huai did not lose his ambition by playing with things. The playing cards and mahjong studied by King Huai are now not only widely sold in Daliang, but also loved by all classes in Daliang.
"It also attracts merchants from the three countries to Daliang. According to statistics at the city gate, the number of people in Kyoto has increased by more than 40% compared to the previous few months!
"According to my observation, the business of major restaurants, teahouses, and inns in Kyoto is also extremely prosperous! It is truly a grand occasion where the country is peaceful and the people are living and working in peace and contentment!"
At the court meeting, the ministers praised King Huai for his "addict to pleasure".
Civil servants rely solely on their words, and whatever they say makes sense, it makes sense.
"There are more merchants traveling to and from Kyoto, and the income of small businessmen and hawkers in Kyoto has increased. The lives of the people have become easier and more prosperous, and they can live and work in peace and contentment."
"These foreign merchants come to Kyoto from foreign countries and need to eat and stay in hotels along the way...the income they bring is not limited to Kyoto!"
"The ancient sages said that only when you govern the world with kindness can you make the world return to its heart!"
"Nowadays, the lives of our people in Daliang are getting better and better, and naturally we can attract people from other countries to submit to us!"
The civil servants praised King Huai and asked him to reinstate him, which may have been for political purposes.
But the military generals followed suit, and it was entirely out of admiration for Xiao Yuchen's personal charm.
"The Jinwu Guards under King Huai's management are obviously more disciplined than they are now!"
"King Huai is strict in his command and manages the army well! The defense arrangements are more reasonable..."
Military generals admire generals who are strong in personal skills and can lead troops.
Xiao Yuchen is undoubtedly the well-deserved number one in their hearts.
When the civil servants were saying good things about Xiao Yuchen, they certainly refused to fall behind.
Xiao Yuchen was sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky.
Although they were all good words to "praise him", they undoubtedly put him on the fire.
In the past few days, what made him happiest was that because of his injury... he was able to move into Qinghe Residence.
Not only did Wen Jin not drive him away, he also personally gave him medicine every day.
Xiao Yuchen felt that the beating was worth it when it came to going alone!
Everything else is considered a bonus.
"Has the prince heard about the nursery rhymes?"
Wen Jin asked while giving him medicine.
Xiao Yuchen hummed.
"It's easy to spread rumors, but it's hard to refute them," Wen Jin said.
Xiao Yuchen glanced at her and suddenly laughed.
Wen Jin glared at him, "Are you quite happy?"
"You care about me... Of course I'm happy." Xiao Yuchen lay there with the corner of his mouth going straight to his ears.
Wen Jin:......
Isn't King Huai a fool? How could she care about him when she stated the facts?
"How many days will it take for my injury to heal?" Xiao Yuchen asked.
Wen Jin raised his eyebrows, "What? Your Majesty can't stand it anymore? Do you want to be reinstated?"
Xiao Yuchen quickly shook his head, "I don't want to. It's just that I haven't moved my muscles and bones for too many days, and the joints are about to get rusty."
Wen Jin knew very well that it would be an injustice to say that Xiao Yuchen lost his ambition by playing with things.
When he was not injured, he would get up before dawn every day to practice martial arts. It was like "dancing after hearing the chicken".
Regardless of whether it was windy or rainy, as long as there were no knives falling from the sky, he would have to practice for an hour before finishing.
Wen Yudu followed him and developed the habit of getting up in the morning to practice Qigong.
He was dismissed from his job and spent most of his time at the school. Since he didn't have any soldiers, he led his family's guards to practice in the school.
It just so happens that he still has a kind of charm... No matter how strict his training is and how demanding his requirements are, none of the servants and guards under his control will disobey him or hold a grudge against him.
Even Wen Yu, under his strict requirements, worshiped and loved him more and more.
"The injury is almost healed. If the prince wants to move his muscles and bones, he will be able to do so in the next two days."
Wen Jin was about to speak but stopped.
Xiao Yuchen turned his face sideways and lay on the pillow, looking at her face.
He grinned suddenly, the smile deep in his eyes, "Worried about me? Are you afraid that those nursery rhymes and the official's petition will make me hate the prince again?"
Wen Jin looked at him without saying anything.
Although this person is a bit...arrogant.
But there’s no need to expose him, just let him be.
"Don't worry, I know how to avoid people's eyes and ears. I have my mouth in other people's faces and I can't control what others say, but I can always control myself and not do things that are objectionable."
Wen Jin lowered her eyes. She quietly increased the amount of spiritual spring water in the medicine today.
Xiao Yuchen's recovery ability was already amazing. After increasing the amount of spiritual spring water, that night. Some of the blood scabs on his back fell off on their own.
The next day, it was still dark.
Wen Jin was still in a daze in his sleep when he heard the loud wind in the yard.
After she gave up the main room to Xiao Yuchen, she moved into the east wing where Wen Yu originally lived.
She stood up in a daze, stood at the window of the east wing, and saw a figure. Under the dim morning light, he looked as graceful as a startling dragon, vigorous and strong, and his moves were full of strength and majestic... It was amazing. I was immediately attracted and couldn't take my eyes away.
Wen Jin yawned and went back to sleep.
This person is really impatient. Fortunately, she increased the amount of spiritual spring water yesterday...
After Wen Jin got up, the servants said, "The prince is still sleeping. Do you want to wake him up for breakfast?"
Wen Jin raised his eyebrows, was he still sleeping?
"No, please leave a fire in the kitchen until the prince wakes up."
Later, when she was giving Xiao Yuchen medicine.
He turned his face sideways and lay on the pillow, looking at her intently, "Jin'er's medicine is so good. There is no tight feeling in my back today."
"My lord, if you practice more, the blood scabs will collapse and the blood will no longer be tight." Wen Jin smiled half-heartedly.
Xiao Yuchen's face tightened and he whispered: "Did you see it?"
"It disturbed me until I fell asleep," Wen Jin said.
Xiao Yuchen turned his face away and buried it on the pillow without saying a word.
After that day, Wen Jin was not woken up again. She thought Xiao Yuchen had restrained himself and never got up to practice martial arts no matter how itchy his hands were.
Unexpectedly, Yu'er quietly told her, "Mom, daddy has worked hard. Others only saw him sleeping until midnight, and when he got up, he would play with birds and play cards.
"Actually, he gets up at midnight every night to practice martial arts and practices for an hour or two before going to bed.
"During the day, he also taught Yu'er how to practice calligraphy and taught me the skills of making an eagle. There are dark circles under his eyes!"
Wen Jin:......
Not to mention whether Xiao Yuchen has gained anything else, he has at least gained a die-hard "fan".
Wen Jin looked at his son's distressed eyes and sighed in his heart.
If the purple energy is really caused by the thousand-year-old purple lotus...then she is responsible.
Maybe she should take the risk and try again...
