The end of the year is fast approaching.
According to Ye Mu's plan.
The priority is to celebrate the New Year with the people of Xinyan City.
We'll set off back to Dayuan City on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
It starts on New Year's Eve.
Ye Mu then went to the street.
Celebrate the New Year with the people.
Eat street food.
They danced the dragon together with the local people.
Let's set off fireworks together.
Let's watch a shadow puppet show together.
Let's make lanterns together.
Let's release river lanterns together.
The people were happy to be with Ye Mu.
"Your Highness should be celebrating the New Year with the Emperor, but instead you're staying here with us common people."
"Yes, His Highness is just like the Emperor, very willing to integrate into our people, and never has a haughty attitude."
"If His Highness were to inherit the throne in the future, it would surely be a very good thing."
"Yes, if His Majesty didn't trust His Highness, he wouldn't have sent His Highness to Xinyan City."
"But His Majesty has more than one prince. I wonder if the Third Prince has any designs on the throne?"
"You mustn't say anything carelessly. The Third Prince has no designs on the throne! He's just focused on fulfilling his duties as a prince."
"Yes, the Third Prince has been taught by the Imperial Noble Consort to be an upright person, and there will absolutely be no situation where brothers kill each other. We common people don't need to worry about these things."
"Yes, let's just enjoy the New Year."
The voices of the people discussing it.
Ye Mu did indeed hear it.
But he wouldn't take it to heart at all.
Because Ye Mu knew very well what kind of person Ye Chen was.
Ye Chen had great respect for his elder brother.
I never thought of competing with him for anything.
However, neither Ye Mu nor Ye Chen knew this.
There is a conspiracy that will take place around the time of the Chinese New Year.
It was used on Ye Mu and Ye Chen.
This could lead to fratricide between the two brothers.
After spending the New Year with the people of Xinyan City.
Ye Mu then set off for Xinyan City.
On the way back.
Ye Mu saw an elderly person begging by the roadside.
Out of kindness, Ye Mu gave the old man some money.
The old man tugged at Ye Mu's sleeve and said.
"Kind sir, please take me in! Let me go back with you and do some menial work."
Ye Mu hesitated for a moment.
Because he was unsure of this person's true identity.
Ye Qianqian glanced at the old man.
I can't hear her true feelings.
Perhaps, he really was just a pitiful old man?
After Ye Mu heard Ye Qianqian's thoughts...
I felt relieved.
Since Ye Qianqian couldn't hear the old man's true feelings.
This means that the old man is not a villain.
Since she's not a villain, we can trust her.
then.
Ye Mu asked, "Old man, is there anyone else in your family?"
The old man immediately said.
"Everyone in my family is dead, and now I'm just an old woman all alone."
"I am barely clinging to life now. Please, sir, have mercy and take me in."
"I don't want wages, all I need is a bite to eat."
Ye Mu thought for a moment.
It's Chinese New Year.
It is indeed unreasonable to let an elderly person beg on the street.
Ye Mu nodded and said.
"Then come back with me first, and then we'll make some plans."
"Thank you, young master."
Ye Mu arranged for her to sit in the carriage at the back.
Nobody saw it.
After the old man got into the carriage.
A strange smile appeared on his face.
The convoy continued forward.
Ye Mu sighed.
King Cheng asked him.
"What's wrong?"
“Uncle, I just didn’t expect that under the wise rule of my father, there would still be common people begging on the streets.”
"King Cheng said."
"It seems some of the officials aren't doing their jobs well!"
"Ask the old woman where she is from, and find out who the local officials are."
"The people are suffering so much, doesn't this official see it?"
Ye Mu nodded.
I sent my men to ask the old lady.
"Sir, what's your name? Where are you from? Who is the local official in your area?"
The old man was taken aback.
She hadn't expected Ye Mu to investigate this matter so thoroughly.
Her subordinates noticed she remained silent.
They thought she was afraid of being retaliated against by corrupt officials.
So he said.
"Old man, don't be afraid. The person sitting in the carriage is His Highness the Second Prince!"
“He has come to help you. Your Highness is worried that the officials in your area are not doing their job, causing the people to suffer.”
"So you don't need to worry about anyone retaliating against you. His Highness can protect your personal safety."
nonsense.
Of course I know he is the Second Prince.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have pretended to be a beggar to block the road.
I naturally have my own plans.
I appeared out of nowhere; there was no place to live and no local officials to govern me.
but.
In order not to arouse suspicion.
The old lady just made up a name on the spot.
"My name is Qin Lian. I live in Taohua County. I've forgotten the name of the local official."
His subordinate immediately went to report.
"Your Highness, the old lady's name is Qin Lian, and she is from Taohua County."
King Cheng was taken aback.
"From Taohua County?"
"Has the Imperial Uncle been to this place?"
