Chapter 272 Lifelong Teacher
When the Crown Princess led Zhao Yuanye out of the Yangxin Palace, Jiang Xun was still outside the palace.
He looked up at the night sky, wondering what he was thinking.
Zhao Yuanye looked up at his mother.
The Crown Princess understood and let go.
"gentlemen!"
Zhao Yuanye immediately ran towards Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun turned around, first bowed to the Crown Princess, and then extended his hand to Zhao Yuanye.
Zhao Yuanye was stunned at first, and then immediately held Jiang Xun's hand tightly, with a strong dependence in his eyes.
"Would you like me to accompany Your Highness for a walk?"
Jiang Xun tilted his head and asked, his voice very gentle.
Zhao Yuanye was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, not forgetting to turn around and ask the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess nodded, and only when she saw Jiang Xun holding a lantern and leading Zhao Yuanye into the palace corridor ahead did she gently lower her long eyelashes.
She really couldn't express her gratitude to Lord Jiang enough.
I'm sure Lord Jiang also noticed that Ye'er felt aggrieved, frightened, and angry.
His little heart was filled to the brim with today's events, leaving him no time to breathe and in urgent need of venting and releasing.
Lord Jiang truly loves Ye'er. He is also an excellent guide and Ye'er's lifelong teacher.
No wonder that year, even though A Ji was exhausted, he still insisted on writing a letter, just to protect Lord Jiang.
Aji...
The Crown Princess couldn't help but look sad, but she soon cheered up.
Aji, did you see it?
Ajin was also very brave tonight.
And tomorrow, the day after, and every day thereafter, Ajin will do better than today, and together with his loyal ministers, he will support the young Ye'er until he grows up, stands on his own, and then becomes a wise king.
At that time, Ajin can miss you unrestrainedly, and take your share with her, and go to see the countryside, wilderness, mountains and rivers.
Finally, I will pick a branch of the most blooming green-calyx plum and bring it to you.
Aji, I will come to find you in the next life.
You must wait for me.
————
On the empty palace road, two figures, one tall and one short, walked side by side.
When facing Jiang Xun, Zhao Yuanye was the one who could least keep secrets.
He told Jiang Xun what he had just said to Emperor Sheng without reservation, and then asked carefully:
"Sir, did Ye'er do anything wrong?"
Jiang Xun slowly stopped, half-knelt down, put the lantern aside, put his hands on Zhao Yuanye's shoulders, and said with a smile:
"Your Highness has taken the lead. I was planning to do the same thing tomorrow."
When Zhao Yuanye heard this, his heart suddenly relaxed and a smile finally appeared on his face, but he quickly lowered his brows and pursed his lips in grievance.
"Sir, Ye'er...I'm very confused."
Jiang Xun raised his hand and touched Zhao Yuanye's head, and replied in a gentle voice: "I know that today is really difficult for Your Highness."
"But I have to praise you. Your Highness handled the situation today very well, which was far beyond my imagination."
"Besides, even my life can be said to have been saved by Your Highness from the hands of His Majesty."
Such generous praise and affirmation made Zhao Yuanye slowly raise his head, flattered, "Sir, is it true?"
Jiang Xun nodded heavily and softened his voice:
"I didn't tell Your Highness about these past events before because I was worried that Your Highness was too young to hide his thoughts. But today, it seems that I really underestimated Your Highness."
"Your Highness just said that you are upset, but there is no need to be like this."
Jiang Xun looked at Zhao Yuanye, his eyes calm but firm, and he patiently persuaded him:
"Your Majesty has made a mistake, and it is a serious one. He should be punished. Your Highness is kind and benevolent, but showing kindness to evil is to encourage evil to grow, which is absolutely unacceptable."
"And today, Your Highness is the crown prince. You should not dwell on the past. Because starting tomorrow, the land, the people and the people of this world are waiting for Your Highness to govern them steadily."
"I know that the burden is heavy and Your Highness is still young."
"But Your Highness, please do not forget that as a minister in a high position, it is our duty to serve the country and the people."
"Your Highness, do you still remember what I said that day?"
"'Govern the country with justice and employ the military with surprise', adhering to justice and using surprise is the correct path for the benevolent—"
When Jiang Xun said this, Zhao Yuanye took over the conversation with a serious face: "The importance of the world and the people must be treated with a clear and fair way, so that the country can be stabilized and benefit the people."
"Sir, I have never forgotten what you said!"
Jiang Xun could no longer hide the satisfaction on his face after hearing every word Zhao Yuanye said.
"So, Your Highness, please do not hesitate. All the ministers and generals will spare no effort to assist Your Highness and help him achieve great achievements."
"I firmly believe that Your Highness will become a wise and holy ruler in the future, benefit the people, and create a prosperous era."
Zhao Yuanye felt that every word the teacher said touched his heart. Such earnest expectations and unreserved trust made his heart ache and filled with gratitude.
"gentlemen......"
Jiang Xun saw tears in Zhao Yuanye's eyes and knew that he was a smart man and must have listened to him.
This child is already extremely outstanding.
Thinking of this, he leaned forward, stretched out his arms, and gently held Zhao Yuanye in his arms.
"Your Highness, you have worked hard. I will accompany you on the road ahead."
"Now, Your Highness, would you like to talk to me about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and your father?"
Jiang Xun was really gentle and considerate, and he took into account every aspect of Zhao Yuanye's thoughts.
Zhao Yuanye's small body stiffened slightly, and the next moment he pressed forward tightly, as if he was very greedy for this warm and inclusive embrace like a father.
He reached out and hugged Jiang Xun, hugging him so tightly, and choked with sobs: "I want to~"
Jiang Xun's eyebrows curved slightly, and his voice was gentle, "Then when should I start?"
Zhao Yuanye responded, so urgently, "Let's start from the beginning!"
"That's a long story..."
Jiang Xun's voice was also filled with a hint of sigh, but he still agreed with a smile, "Then let me start from... the first time I met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The palace road is long, but at this moment it does not feel deep, lonely and cold.
Jiang Xun's gentle voice sounded softly, and with the August evening breeze, it passed over the palace wall, as if reminding every tree and blade of grass in the palace.
There once lived here a prince who was bright and kind, benevolent and generous, the bright moonlight in everyone's heart.
Ta-ta-ta——
The sound of light footsteps was heard.
Shen Jiasui was really worried about Jiang Xun, and at this moment, under the guidance of the Crown Princess's palace maid, he was walking towards the Yangxin Palace.
When the Crown Princess saw that Zhao Yuanye had not returned for a long time, she became worried and came from the Yangxin Palace to look for him.
On the palace road, three spots of light gradually converged into one place.
Shen Jiasui took a look in the candlelight and saw that the person carrying a child in the middle of the palace corridor was Jiang Xun.
When the Crown Princess looked carefully, she saw that the person sleeping soundly on Lord Jiang’s back was Ye’er.
Jiang Xun seemed to be a little tired, with his head slightly lowered, and was about to carry Zhao Yuanye back.
The warm orange lights on both sides approached almost at the same time, but he seemed to have sensed something and tilted his head to look to the left.
Shen Jiasui was seen striding towards him with a smile on his face and bright eyes.
Jiang Xun's heart suddenly warmed up, full of attachment, and he called out silently:
"Years old."
