Fang Ruotang received the manuscript, glanced at it, and then looked up in delight.
"I can understand it all!"
"Take a look first, is there anything that needs to be changed?"
"I don't think so?"
The words are not long, just a few sentences.
She asked, somewhat puzzled, "Is it enough for me to just say a few words? Don't I need to chat with the people? Answer their questions? I think they probably have a lot of questions for me."
"You are the high, mysterious, and powerful Imperial Advisor. You don't need to be too close to the common people. It's better for them to have a sense of awe towards you," Ye Wuxia explained.
After saying that, knowing Fang Ruotang's personality and afraid that she wouldn't understand, he added another sentence.
"Most people are ignorant, and the ignorant are fearless. If you are kind, they will think you are easy to bully; if you are noble and aloof, they will respect and fear you."
"Is it that strange? But the people seem to be doing quite well to me, and shouldn't kind people be even more lovable?"
Fang Ruotang only saw what her family wanted her to see, so there were no bad people or bad things around her. After the Crown Prince and his family took over, the situation became even worse.
"But some people are ignorant. They don't see it as a rare kindness, but only as someone they can manipulate."
Ye Wuxia came from a small town and had seen all sorts of people. She even understood the evil in human nature better than the Crown Prince. After all, when people are poor, their bottom line will be constantly broken.
People who are poor but have high aspirations are extremely rare.
He didn't really agree with the Crown Prince protecting Fang Ruotang like this. It wouldn't hurt to let her see the other side of beauty, but every time he saw her innocent smile, he felt that all their hard work and struggles were for the sake of making the people they loved live better lives. Why did he have to shatter her perceptions?
"Okay!" Fang Ruotang didn't quite understand, but she listened to advice.
She then casually gave the manuscript to the Crown Prince, who also thought it was acceptable, and the matter was settled.
Then, the three of them looked at each other in bewilderment.
Fang Ruotang began to feel anxious again.
"Is there... anything else?"
Neither the Crown Prince nor Ye Wuxia spoke, but they both looked at Fang Ruotang in tacit agreement.
Fang Ruotang swallowed and chuckled awkwardly, "It's alright now. Why don't you all go? I'm going to the Star-Picking Tower tomorrow, so I need to prepare today. I won't entertain you then."
Ye Wuxia's speech was prepared long ago for Fang Ruotang.
But their arrival was rushed.
After all, he could sense when the Crown Prince was eating meat, so he put aside his official duties and rushed over before his shift ended.
The Crown Prince looked at Ye Wuxia.
Ye Wuxia's expression was not good, and she gave a forced smile.
"Alright, I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he strode away.
Fang Ruotang glanced at his retreating figure, then silently looked away. Meeting the Crown Prince's scrutinizing gaze, she smiled faintly, "Is Crown Prince returning to the palace?"
"Okay! Tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM), I'll come over to have breakfast with you, and at Sishi (9-11 AM), we'll go up to the Star-Picking Tower together."
Okay.
Fang Ruotang readily agreed, waved to the Crown Prince, and before anyone else could leave, she skipped off to find her older sister, Fang Shengtang.
Seeing her carefree attitude, the Crown Prince felt complicated.
Upon exiting, they saw Ye Wuxia standing guard in front of the Prime Minister's residence. The two exchanged a glance but said nothing more.
The two walked a few steps one after the other in tacit agreement, and then began to talk about the war, supplies, and other issues.
After all, both of them knew that there was nothing to talk about regarding Fang Ruotang, and neither of them was willing to let go, so they couldn't come up with anything interesting to discuss.
However, when the two parted ways, Ye Wuxia suddenly said something.
"I wonder if there's been any fighting at the border today, if so..."
Ye Wuxia's words were brief and to the point.
The crown prince's expression darkened, and he didn't respond, only uttering a single sentence.
Mind your own business.
"Oh!"
Ye Wuxia gave a silent, cold laugh.
However, he also knew that in the days to come, he wouldn't have to experience the joy brought by the Crown Prince when he was so busy that he couldn't even eat.
The next day, after breakfast, he went to the Star-Picking Tower accompanied by the Crown Prince.
She was somewhat surprised to see the Crown Prince standing a few people behind her.
Aren't you coming along?
"No, I'll wait for you behind."
"But if you stand there, the people won't be able to see you!"
The Crown Prince smiled, offering no further explanation, but simply raised his chin, gesturing for Fang Ruotang to step forward.
Fang Ruotang tilted her head in confusion, but seeing that the Crown Prince wasn't coming up, she wasn't afraid. Especially after peeking down, she felt no tension at all, and even wanted to laugh a little.
She thought of feeding the fish in the pond, scattering some bait, and the fish stretched their necks to look up, just like the people downstairs at that moment.
The only difference is that the voices of the people are more noisy than the sound of fish stirring the water.
Fang Ruotang cleared her throat and spoke.
"There are many rumors about me in the capital, the most important of which is about my identity as a celestial envoy."
There is no doubt about that.
I stand here today to convey the will of Heaven.
Many people have heard about the monsters that appeared not long ago, and some have even seen them with their own eyes.
Next year, these monsters will invade our world on a large scale.
We need to unite to fight against alien species.
Therefore, the land must be unified.
War is inevitable.
To quell external threats, one must first secure internal stability; I believe everyone understands this point.
The imperial court is doing its utmost, and our Tianyi Sect disciples are also diligently cultivating.
