"By the way, sister, this is what I want to give to you."
Yuchi Feng took out a small wooden sculpture from his arms. It was a depiction of Yuchi Xi. Although it was not as good as the one carved by the Grand Tutor, it was the best he had carved so far.
Yuchi Xi took it and touched the small wooden sculpture with his chubby little hands. Yuchi Feng's heart suddenly rose to his throat, "What, what's wrong?"
"Is it, is it too ugly?"
"I……"
Yuchi Feng lowered his head, feeling a little lost.
“How could that be?!”
Yuchi Xi hugged Yuchi Feng and said, "Thank you, Xiao Ba!"
"I'm so happy!"
"Your sculpture is so beautiful!"
“The carving is amazing!!”
"Xiao Ba, you are really amazing!!"
Yuchi Feng's face instantly turned red when he was praised by Yuchi Xi. He scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Hey, is there?"
"Then I'll carve a gold one for my sister later!"
Yuchi Xi:!!!
Xiaoba, you understand me!
"Okay, thank you, Xiaoba!"
"You're welcome." Yuchi Feng smiled shyly, "As long as my sister is happy, I'm happy."
Yuchi Xi:!!!
Angel!!
Xiaoba, you are an angel!!
You are so cute woooo.
Yuchi Xi stayed to play with Xiao Ba.
Imperial study.
Emperor Dewu criticized those ministers, and they all lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
cough.
They didn't expect that the emperor would come back suddenly!
They wrote such memorials just to appease the Second Prince.
But they only dared to criticize it in their hearts. If they really said it out loud...
That would be the end of it.
After Emperor Dewu finished cursing, he took a big sip of water. Suddenly, the image of the second son appeared in his mind. He immediately felt that the position of the emperor was really damn dangerous!
Emperor Dewu reached out and pinched his eyebrows.
"Report—"
"Your Majesty, a portion of the three iron mines and three gold mines that Xiliang Kingdom previously lost to our Yuan Kingdom, as well as the two iron mines given to the little princess, have been transported here."
A guard ran in and knelt down to report.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Dewu's expression softened considerably. "All the iron ore will be sent to the ironworks under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture for smelting."
"The gold ore is sent to the alchemy plant."
"Yes!" The guard responded and hurriedly retreated to pass on the order.
The ministers looked at each other and flattered the emperor one after another.
"Oh, the little princess is really amazing!"
"That's not right. It's so easy to get all the gold and iron mines in Xiliang Kingdom!"
"We in the Yuan Kingdom have a little princess. What a blessing!"
There is nothing wrong in praising the little princess in front of the emperor.
Emperor Dewu's face showed obvious joy. "Alright."
"Everyone, please step back."
"Yes!" The ministers were shocked and took their leave one after another.
As soon as they came out, they started talking in low voices, "Luckily, I reacted quickly. If I hadn't praised the little princess, we wouldn't be able to get out now!"
"The little princess is really useful!"
"Next time I get scolded, I'll praise you!"
"Who made our emperor have such a precious child..."
"By the way, did you get the news? I heard that our Yuan Kingdom took first place in this cloth competition!"
"Is this true? This news came out so quickly?"
"That's not true. My relative is acquainted with the royal family of that small country... He just heard it from that royal family."
"The royal family... is quite far from here, right? How do I tell your relatives?"
"Write a letter!"
"For something like this, he wouldn't even use an albatross that can travel thousands of miles a day, would he?"
"Yes, they are royal family!"
"Don't lie to me..."
"Why would I lie to you? How could it benefit me? If you don't believe me, just wait a few days and you'll know. The Embroidery Pavilion will release the news in a few days."
"Then just wait, a few days won't make a difference!"
A few days later.
The Embroidery Pavilion announced that the first place in this cloth competition is from the Yuan Kingdom!
This news shocked the entire continent.
You know, the Yuan Dynasty used to be ranked last!
He actually won first place this time?
Many people didn't believe it, but many people from small countries who went to participate in the competition spread the news: it's true.
After all, Embroidery Pavilion never tells lies!
At this point, all the major cloth merchants were eager to make a move. If they could get first-hand Yuan Dynasty cloth at this time, wouldn’t they be rich?
Emperor Dewu has submitted more memorials recently, but this time they are all about serious matters.
Many cloth merchants wanted to cooperate with the Yuan Dynasty.
The people of Yuan Dynasty were also very proud of this fact. They would tell everyone they met, "Oh, yes, I am a citizen of Yuan Dynasty. Oh, haha, I thought you didn't know!"
In major teahouses, storytellers told this story in a vivid and interesting way.
This matter caused a lot of uproar.
Several cloth merchants who had settled in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty before were feeling a little uneasy.
In the past, the cloth business in Yuan Dynasty was not very good, but they were still able to expand it.
Now that the Yuan Kingdom has won first place in the cloth competition, it means that a larger number of cloth merchants will flock to the capital of the Yuan Kingdom.
By then, these businesses with little strength may be eliminated.
Because of this matter, these people who were once rivals gathered together to discuss it.
"What do you think we should do about this?"
“I feel like once those big cloth merchants move in, it will be hard for us to survive.”
A cloth merchant said, "I don't think the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty would do such a thing. He doesn't look like that kind of person."
