Chapter 2318 I have an idea
He had a vague idea of something, but it seemed as if there was a layer of window paper in front of him that he could never break through. He could vaguely see a little light, but it was still unclear.
After a while, they arrived at the bedroom.
As soon as he entered the gate, he heard laughter from all over the garden just like that day. This laughter actually cheered him up.
I couldn't help but mutter to myself, "I'm afraid I'm teasing the child again."
When I walked in, I saw that the scene was almost exactly the same as what I saw that day. Nan Yan was wrapped in a thick fox fur, sitting under the eaves, throwing the bamboo ball down, and Xin Ping was still full of energy. She jumped over to pick it up and happily handed it to her.
The only thing that was a little different from that day was——
Today, there is a familiar figure accompanying them.
King Wei Zhu Chengxuan.
His face was pale and his eyes were red. It was obvious that he hadn't slept well for several days and looked a little tired. However, when he saw his sister like this, he kept laughing.
When Xinping picked up the bamboo ball and brought it back again, he put the ball in his hands.
"Brother, come too."
"I?"
"Yeah, mother didn't throw it far, it's not fun at all."
"Well--"
"Brother, throw it further away."
Although Zhu Chengxuan felt that this was not a good idea, but when he met his sister's big, eager eyes, as a brother, how could he resist? He raised his hand and threw the bamboo ball out with force, and kept reminding her: "Be careful, don't fall."
The bamboo ball drew an arc in the air and was about to fall when it was caught firmly by a hand.
Xinping jumped up immediately when he saw it.
"Father!"
When Zhu Chengxuan saw Zhu Feng, he was so frightened that he hurried down and knelt on the ground. Nan Yan also immediately stood up and brought everyone to kowtow to the emperor.
Zhu Feng walked over with a smile, picked up Xin Ping who was rushing towards him, and then walked in front of them and said, "Get up, the ground is cold."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone stood up.
Zhu Feng glanced at Nan Yan and saw that she looked fine, so he nodded with relief and turned to look at Zhu Chengxuan.
Just as she was about to speak, Nan Yan interrupted her and said, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Wei has been working hard in Chengqian Palace these past few days. I saw how hard he was working, and his eyes were filled with tears. I was afraid he was exhausted, so I pulled him over to rest."
Zhu Chengxuan lowered his head and said, "I will go back immediately."
Zhu Feng said, "No need."
Zhu Chengxuan looked up at him, and Zhu Feng looked into his eyes, which were indeed full of red bloodshot. It was obvious that he had not had a good rest in the past few days.
He was obviously unable to sleep well because of that incident.
So he said, "Don't be too tense. Sometimes, you can take a break."
“…”
"Maybe if I go out and explore more, the solution to the problem will naturally appear."
"yes."
As a few people were talking, people from the imperial kitchen arrived.
It turned out that Zhu Feng was walking slowly all the way here, while the imperial kitchen was rushing over and immediately prepared the food and sent it over, just in time to meet him.
Eunuch Yu hurriedly said, "Send it inside."
Nan Yan took a look, then looked at Zhu Feng and said, "Your Majesty, is lunch not ready yet?"
Zhu Feng nodded and said, "I've been busy all morning."
Nan Yan shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, you can't do this from now on. Even if it's just a small snack, always eating so late is not good for your health."
"Okay, I understand."
Zhu Feng waved his hand, then looked at them with a smile: "That's perfect, why don't you guys come and have some too?"
It was time for tea and snacks. You Xinping had been running around for quite some time, so he immediately raised his hand and said, "Xinping is hungry. Xinping wants to have dinner with Father."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Okay."
Then he said to Zhu Chengxuan, "You can have some too. Eat more and grow taller."
Zhu Chengxuan has grown a lot in the past two years. Although he is not as tall as him, he is taller than his shoulders and looks like a grown man.
Zhu Chengxuan nodded hurriedly: "Yes."
So, the group walked in and saw that the table was set with food, so everyone sat down.
This was a rare occasion for them, especially Zhu Chengxuan, who seldom had meals with his father. Today, he felt like an ordinary family, eating together at the same table, enjoying the warmth and intimacy of one another.
His eyes felt a little hot.
Just when I was feeling emotional, a bowl of hot soup was brought to me.
He looked up and saw that it was Nan Yan who handed it to him personally. He smiled and said, "You've been outside in the wind for a long time. You must be cold. Have some soup to warm yourself up first."
"Thank you, Madam."
He held it in both hands.
Everyone was there to keep them company, except Zhu Feng and Xin Ping, who were actually eating with big mouthfuls of food. Seeing them like this, Nan Yan felt distressed.
After Zhu Feng finished two bowls of rice and was finally full, she served him half a bowl of hot soup.
She whispered, "Where did the emperor come from just now?"
Zhu Feng said: "Cabinet."
When Nan Yan heard that it was the cabinet, she didn't ask any more questions. After all, she shouldn't interfere in state affairs.
On the other hand, Prince Wei Zhu Chengxuan, upon hearing this, looked at him cautiously and whispered, "Is your Majesty discussing with them the matter of sending troops to suppress the Sang Nong people?"
Zhu Feng glanced at him.
Then he said, "Since I promised you some time, I won't go back on my word."
“…”
"What we discussed today wasn't that matter, but rather—He Yi proposed a plan."
He told Hei about the plan proposed by him to send a special envoy.
Zhu Chengxuan listened and nodded, saying, "Lord Heyi's suggestion is quite good. My father has always been interested in establishing friendly relations with the countries in the Western Regions. Sending a special envoy will, on the one hand, strengthen our ties with the ruler of Parthia, and on the other hand, allow us to learn about the customs and practices of the countries along the way and understand their attitudes towards our Great Yan Dynasty."
“…”
"This will be beneficial for sending a large number of envoys in the future, or even for establishing direct friendships."
Zhu Feng nodded and said, "Not bad."
“…”
"But now, the biggest problem at hand is silk."
"silk?"
Zhu Chengxuan asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhu Feng said, "Currently, there are less than 200,000 pieces of silk in the treasury."
"Two hundred thousand?"
Zhu Chengxuan calculated and said, "This is enough as a gift."
Zhu Feng said: "But young people need money."
“…”
"Besides, the treasury was emptied in one fell swoop, and there's still half a year until next year's tribute. Could it be that the imperial court won't leave anything for it?"
"this--"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chengxuan's eyes, which were originally bloodshot and had turned black with fatigue, suddenly flashed.
He said softly, "Father, I, your son, have an idea."
