After Wen Zhenghai learned about the situation from his subordinates, he couldn't wait to report to the court the next morning, and he specifically mentioned that Mr. Zhan had already moved to the countryside to live.
He stood in the main hall and spoke with great joy, looking so proud that those who didn't know him would have thought he had moved into the Ye family's territory.
The emperor listened with interest for a while at first, but then he realized that Wen Zhenghai had nothing new to say and was only talking about things that Prince Rui had reported before. He waved his hand impatiently, signaling him not to continue.
Wen Zhenghai was speaking excitedly, and he also vaguely noticed that other colleagues were looking at him with envy.
But why did the emperor seem to have no interest and even interrupted me to stop me from speaking?
Wen Zhenghai subconsciously cast his gaze towards Wang Wei who was standing behind the emperor, thinking, didn't you tell me that the emperor asked his subordinates to pay attention to the crops of the Ye family in Rongxi Village?
Could it be that Wang Wei conveyed the wrong message?
This shouldn't be the case! Wang Wei is also an old man who has been with the emperor for a long time. It's impossible for him to make such a mistake.
Jiang Wei half-closed his eyes, not even looking at him, and even thought in his heart, who the hell are you? You've been talking nonsense for a long time, and the emperor has been very patient. He interrupts you now, and you still have the nerve to look at me?
The emperor then said, "I have given Prince Rui full responsibility for this year's autumn harvest. If you have anything to report, please go directly to Prince Rui."
Wen Zhenghai was stunned when he heard this, and for a moment he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Although everyone in the court knew that Prince Rui was intelligent since childhood, he was also naughty. When he grew up, he did not do any serious work and just wanted to be an idle prince with a bird cage.
Of course, he is a legitimate prince and now the emperor's only brother.
As long as he doesn't go out and bully men and women, and doesn't think about starting an uprising, he can do whatever he wants. Some people may even praise him for being romantic and free-spirited.
But why did the emperor suddenly ask him to be in charge of the autumn harvest?
If Prince Rui was a fool who only cared about his reputation and didn't do anything, it would be easier to deal with.
What I’m afraid of is that he pretends to know everything, is willing to take the lead, and meddles in other people’s affairs.
Then you will be the one who suffers.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just look at today’s morning court.
The emperor has already handed over the autumn harvest to him.
This is a major matter concerning the country and people's livelihood!
But Prince Rui didn't even come to the morning court.
I really don't know what kind of magic potion he gave to the emperor behind his back to make him entrust such an important matter to him.
But since the emperor had already said so, no matter how reluctant Wen Zhenghai was, he had no choice but to take the initiative to ask someone to deliver a visiting card to Prince Rui's mansion after the court was dismissed.
Unexpectedly, the servant came back soon and brought back a piece of news that Wen Zhenghai had never expected.
"What did you say?" Wen Zhenghai's eyes widened after hearing this.
"Reporting to you, sir, the people from Prince Rui's Mansion did say so.
"Prince Rui led his men out of the city early in the morning and headed for Rongxi Village."
Wen Zhenghai couldn't sit still any longer. He jumped up anxiously and shouted, "Someone, prepare the car, go to Rongxi Village!"
No wonder Prince Rui didn't attend the morning court.
So I'm waiting for him here!
Is it necessary to work so hard?
This is the first time you have been entrusted with such an important task in your life. You can’t wait to show it to the emperor, right?
Before even meeting Prince Rui, Wen Zhenghai had already assumed in his mind that he was a person who was eager to show off.
He hurriedly got on the carriage and ordered the driver to go at full speed and make sure to reach Rongxi Village as quickly as possible.
As Wen Zhenghai was complaining in his heart while hurrying on his way, Prince Rui and his entourage were almost able to see the farmlands of Rongxi Village.
They all rode horses, letting the carriage move slowly behind them, so the speed was naturally much faster.
Qingtian sat on Prince Rui's horse, held tightly in his arms.
The oncoming wind ruffled Qingtian's hair, making it difficult for her to even open her eyes completely, but she was very happy, and her silvery laughter filled the air all the way.
"Are you so happy just to ride a horse with daddy?" Prince Rui was also very happy to see his daughter happy.
"Yeah!" Qingtian nodded vigorously. "Riding a horse is really nice. It's much more comfortable than sitting in a carriage."
It's not like she had never ridden a horse before. Qin Hexuan had also taken her on a horse ride.
But Qin Hexuan was still young after all, and he was taking care of a younger child like her, so he was very careful in everything, fearing that something might happen.
However, Prince Rui learned riding and archery since he was a child. Although he did not do any serious work all day long, his skills on horseback were still quite good.
He also dared to let the horse run, so Qingtian instantly fell in love with this feeling of freedom.
"When you get home, Dad will pick out two good horses for you. You must cultivate a relationship with them from a young age so that you can work together better in the future."
"I have a pony now." Qingtian said quickly, "My great-grandfather prepared one for me."
"It's just one. Dad will prepare a few more for you later. You can ride whichever one you like."
As expected of a prince, he speaks so lavishly.
As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem at all for Prince Rui.
If he really can't find a good one, the worst that can happen is that he will go directly to the palace to find his brother.
He still didn't believe it, but in the whole Da Qi, couldn't he pick out a few ponies with good bloodlines, good looks and gentle temperaments for his precious daughter?
Prince Rui was just thinking about it when Qingtian in his arms suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the front left and said, "I see! I see the crops in our village!"
Following the sound of sunny days, everyone rode on horseback and galloped past the farmland of the villagers in Rongxi Village.
After running a short distance, they saw a field of crops standing out in front of everyone.
Not only is it taller than the crops in the surrounding fields, but it can also be seen from a distance that it is thicker and stronger, and even the color is darker.
The most eye-catching thing is the ears of crops on top, which are so big and heavy that they bend the crops.
Everyone who saw it felt that it was fortunate that the crops grew thick and strong, otherwise they would not be able to withstand such heavy ears of corn!
This time, Qingtian didn't even need to say anything, everyone knew that it must be the Ye family's farmland.
At this moment, everyone had the same thought in their minds: no wonder the emperor attached so much importance to this matter, the second son of the Ye family is indeed quite capable!
Now that he had seen the Ye family's farmland, Prince Rui simply pulled the reins, turned around, and headed towards the farmland.
The people following behind him also hurriedly turned their horses around and followed Prince Rui.
Seeing his farmland getting closer and closer, Qingtian excitedly waved his hands and shouted, "Second Uncle!"
