He made that one for Xiao Qingyin; he definitely wouldn't give it away.

The emperor could not possibly feel at ease riding in the hot air balloon provided by him.

His actions greatly reassured the emperor.

However, he still gave him a warning.

"Such a strange object is too eye-catching. If it is to be used in the future, it is best to inform people in advance so as not to disturb the people."

Yi Shuihan nodded: "I will be more careful in the future."

Seeing that he was so sensible, the emperor felt a little more at ease.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held, Yi Shuihan was given a seat second only to him.

Yi Shuihan didn't care about this.

Situ Ming was furious.

"Has Father been bewitched by him? He was persuaded to do something so important with just a few words."

He tried his best to increase his monthly salary, but to no avail.

As a result, they had to sell some of their land to cover the Crown Prince's ever-increasing expenses.

This worried him greatly. When he rode his horse down the street and saw thriving shops, he wondered how to open one like that.

As a result, he accidentally bumped into an old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest was almost trampled in the stomach by a horse's hoof; if he hadn't been agile enough to roll to the side, he would have been in trouble.

Seeing that he was alright, Situ Ming was about to leave when he was stopped by him.

"Your Highness, you've been struck by bad luck lately."

One sentence was enough to make Situ Ming stop his horse.

He turned around, looking down at the Taoist priest coldly: "What do you mean by that?"

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and said, "If Your Highness would like to host a few drinks for me, I will let you know. If Your Highness would like to order a few more dishes, I can also help you resolve the issue."
