No matter how much Jiang Qian pressed, Wen Jin refused to say more.
But at least, she can be sure that her eldest brother is safe now... As long as he is fine.
Jiang Qian is a person who doesn't worry about anything.
To put it in a nicer way, it is open-minded and indifferent.
In Fengyuan's words, he is "unaffectionate and cool".
Knowing that her eldest brother's life was not in danger, she put aside the matter and devoted herself wholeheartedly to her role as "school director" and worked hard to run the medical school.
Jiang Qian probably never thought of her eldest brother who was the most powerful person in the family.
Now it is really "humble" and has entered the dust.
"I want to eat roasted chestnuts from Dongjie. I heard they are a variety improved by the Queen. They are very sweet. Go and buy them."
After Que Ye said a word, Jiang Shuo rushed to East Street without stopping.
He hurried back slowly and put the hot chestnuts in his arms in order to keep them from getting cold.
When I took it out, it was still smoking.
But Mr. Que didn't even look at the chestnuts, "Suddenly I don't want to eat them anymore. I heard the hemp flowers on West Street are good. Go and buy two."
Jiang Shuo looked at her with a faint look.
Master Que raised his eyebrows, "Don't want to go? Don't forget your identity! I can let you stay, which is a gift to you!"
Jiang Shuo frowned...
Master Que chuckled, "If you don't want to go, just say so and our contract will be terminated..."
"I'll go." Jiang Shuo turned around and went to West Street again.
Only then did Master Que look at the bag of steaming chestnuts.
She reached out and took out a round and plump chestnut, then suddenly let go and retracted her hand.
The chestnuts seemed to burn her fingers, and even more so her heart.
She calmed down, took out the chestnut again, peeled it open and popped it into her mouth.
Chestnuts are very sweet, and there seems to be a little bit of bitterness in the sweetness.
…
Master Que, on his side, deliberately tormented Jiang Shuo and tried to force him away before going to Dagu.
While working hard to train her successor, she can bring him to Wen Jin as soon as possible.
And the palace is also making intensive preparations for this matter.
The young prince took his staff and went to the royal study to beg the emperor for permission to build a shipyard for them in Dagu.
According to Yu'er's guess, his father must have approved it without saying a word.
Unexpectedly, his father read their plan, put his head under a pile of memorials, and said, "I want to think about it. You go back and continue preparations."
His father's reaction was unexpected.
Wen Yuanjie and other staff returned to the East Palace and surrounded the prince to ask questions.
"The Emperor doesn't agree?"
"Do you need to ask the Queen again? Please tell the Queen?"
"The emperor has fully supported all the measures taken by the empress in the past, even if the ministers objected..."
"This shipbuilding and shipping project is also the empress's strategy. Why do you think the emperor means to shelve it?"
Everyone gathered around Yu'er.
Although Yu'er is young, she is taught the emperor's policy by the Confucian gentlemen every day, and she actually has the prudent look of "youth and maturity".
He sat upright, holding his chin, thinking silently, not distinguishing between joy and anger.
Everyone even began to wonder if the little prince didn't understand...
Yu'er then raised her head and said, "Although A-niang proposed this matter, since she left it to us, it's up to us to find a way to solve it.
"If we encounter any difficulties or setbacks, we will go to A Niang to find a solution... Why should she leave it to us?
"Perhaps Father is testing us! Let's see if we have the unyielding determination!"
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Although what His Highness said is simple, it is not impossible.
"Besides, grandma is pregnant, so we can't keep asking her to work hard. Let's not be anxious and just prepare actively.
"Father, let me test his tone again and see what he means!"
Yu'er's big eyes were full of aura.
His words were childish, but they also calmed everyone's impatient mood.
Everyone retreated and actively prepared.
Xiao Yuchen waited and waited...
He waited for several days, but still didn't wait for Wen Jin to speak to him.
On this day, he went down to court and went straight to Wenjin Palace.
Wen Jin was reading lazily. When he saw him coming, he raised his eyes and smiled at him, then lowered his head to read.
Xiao Yuchen frowned slightly... Why didn't Yu'er come to Wen Jin for help?
"You have nothing to do, tell me?" Xiao Yuchen decided to take the initiative.
Wen Jin was startled, "No, what's the matter?"
Xiao Yuchen was silent for a moment, "Yu'er hasn't been here for the past two days?"
Wen Jin was suspicious, "I was too busy in the morning, so I didn't bother to greet you in the morning. He came to have dinner with me in the evening, what's wrong?"
This is strange.
Xiao Yuchen said, "He didn't ask you for anything?"
Wen Jin shook his head and thought for a moment, "Are you two having a conflict?"
Xiao Yuchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How could it be! I'm not a child, and I still have a conflict with him?"
Wen Jin stared at him.
Xiao Yuchen raised his hand to cover her slightly swollen belly, fearing that she would worry, so he simply said, "Yu'er asked me to approve the construction of a shipyard in Dagu, but I suppressed it."
Wen Jin raised his eyebrows, "Why? When I told you, you agreed. And wasn't Daku the place you chose?"
Xiao Yuchen said, "Yes. So I thought he would come to beg you and ask you to tell me."
Wen Jin couldn't understand, "What's the difference?"
Xiao Yuchen said, "What I mean is that you send a female official to put the proposal at the court meeting, and your people will formally propose it."
Wen Jin said oh...then this is indeed different.
The thing is still the same thing, but the political aspect is different.
One is the prince's proposal.
One is the suggestion of the Queen of the Harem.
"Although Yu'er is young, he is a child with ideas. After I mentioned this matter, I always asked him to organize people to do it.
"Although there are gentlemen and counselors who advise him, this is what he is thinking about.
"He has done all this, but you asked me to do it. When the work is completed in the future, won't the credit go to me again?"
Wen Jin thought of the records of "Zheng He's voyages to the West" in history books.
She said seriously, "If this can be done, maybe it will leave a name in history! For such a thing, it's better to give Yu'er the name!
"This will be of great benefit to his current position as crown prince and to his future as the emperor."
Xiao Yuchen took a deep look at Wen Jin...the emotion in it was like thick ink that could not be dissipated.
Wen Jin was still thinking...did the father and son start fighting over "throne and power" so early?
But Xiao Yuchen said: "I am just thinking about Yu'er's reputation. How can you be sure that this matter will succeed?
“Although many people opposed these things at the beginning, such as planting sugar cane, making snowflakes, building girls’ schools, and popularizing basic education, they were gradually accomplished.
"Can't we say that shipping can be done? What if it fails?"
Wen Jin was startled... Xiao Yuchen didn't look like someone who was afraid of failure?
He never says anything depressing. What's wrong with him today?
"This matter is important, and the investment must be huge. If it succeeds, it will be fine, and Yu'er will naturally have a good reputation.
"But if he fails, it will be detrimental to his reputation. It will also easily attract opposition from his courtiers.
"But you are different. You always like to 'confront' the courtiers. If you propose this matter, the courtiers will get used to it.
"Even if you fail, it won't do you any harm."
