Gu Yuzhi understood the importance of food to them and wanted to return to Changzhou even more.
While Xie Changshi and the others went down to prepare, Gu Yuzhi leaned on his arm again, his big eyes darting around, and sighed like a little adult: "Teacher Shu, Manager Wen, I'm so busy!"
He counted on his fingers: "When I get back, I need to see Guard Zhang and Prefect Qi to find out the results of their interrogation. I need to mobilize manpower to arrest everyone from Li's Trading Company. I also need to see Guard Shen to discuss the grain purchase."
He scratched his head, his voice lowering considerably: "I still need to write to my mother and the others to tell them that my eyes are better and that they don't need to worry."
Gu Yuzhi muttered to himself, "When I get back, I don't want to write so many letters to my brother anymore! I'll just write a little bit."
He gestured as he spoke, and finally nodded solemnly to show that he really would do it!
Hearing Gu Yuzhi say this, Shu Xiaohan asked in confusion, "Why? Didn't you like your brother very much before?"
Previously, when the young prince mentioned the emperor, he would always smile and say things like, "My brother has been good to me, so I should be good to him too."
Why did things suddenly change?
Gu Yuzhi pouted and complained softly, "I share so many fun things with my brother every time, but the letters he writes to me are gone in a flash."
He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and snorted heavily: "Moreover, the things my brother bestowed upon me were no different from those given to the other ministers."
He's not the most unique younger brother of the Emperor.
Hearing Gu Yuzhi's childish words, Shu Xiaohan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Little Prince, how could you think like that!"
Gu Yuzhi tilted his head to look at her and hummed twice: "Isn't that right?"
"Of course not!" Shu Xiaohan squatted down and gently rubbed his head. "Although you said that the rewards the Emperor gave you would be the same as those given to other ministers, these rewards are very useful to you, right?"
Is that so?
Gu Yuzhi played with his index finger in circles, recalling the first time his elder brother gave him gold, which seemed to have instantly freed him from his predicament when the treasury was almost empty.
Although it was always in silver, his fiefdom was under construction, which was a time when he was particularly short of silver!
Every time Chen Dianyi discussed Xinliang's accounts with him, Gu Yuzhi would be shocked by the enormous expenses.
Wow, clearing land costs so much money...
His tone instantly lost its previous self-assurance, and he stammered, "So, so, my brother still likes me very much?"
He puffed out his cheeks and said with dissatisfaction, "Then why does my brother always write such short letters? He never shares the fun things that happen to him with me."
Shu Xiaohan and Wen Xiuzhu exchanged a glance, both with helplessness in their eyes.
After all, they had no idea what interesting things the emperor might encounter.
Shu Xiaohan wanted to persuade him again, but then she cleared her throat and gave Wen Xiuzhu a meaningful look.
Ever since the young prince overheard those words, the two of them seemed to be deliberately avoiding conversation. So many days have passed, and neither of them has uttered a single word.
Shu Xiaohan vaguely felt that the young prince's concerns were related to Wen Xiuzhu, but she couldn't figure out what those concerns were. She just wanted Wen Xiuzhu to take the initiative and repair their relationship as soon as possible.
It's worth noting that the young prince was actually a very easy child to please.
Wen Xiuzhu received her signal, but he opened his mouth but failed to speak, and just lowered his head to think.
Gu Yuzhi, oblivious to everything, asked as if his left and right hands were fighting, "Tell me, am I not the most adorable and considerate younger brother of my elder brother?"
He beckoned with his right index finger: "Yes, yes!"
He waved his left hand from side to side, saying, "No, no! My brother doesn't consider me his cutest little brother..."
Wen Xiuzhu couldn't help but chuckle softly, lowering his eyes as he stepped forward: "Your Highness, I believe that His Majesty truly cares about you. Think about it, if it weren't for His Majesty's permission, why would the ladies of the palace send you so many things?"
"For example, this time, because you went blind, didn't Consort De send you a lot of medicinal herbs as soon as possible?"
Gu Yuzhi exclaimed in confusion, scratched his head, thought for a while, and then asked hesitantly, "Did they really send me medicinal herbs? How come I didn't know?"
Did Guard Qi say anything?
Shu Xiaohan and Wen Xiuzhu...
Perhaps because he had already spoken, Wen Xiuzhu found it easy to speak again: "What Guard Qi just said, you may not have heard carefully. Moreover, the medicinal herbs that Consort De gave you are different from those obtained from the herbal medicine merchants; they are all precious."
Gu Yuzhi's eyes darted around, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head: "I still can't remember."
However, Gu Yuzhi quickly became happy. In addition, after Qi Shiwei mentioned that after arriving in Jinzhou, his elder brother sent people from the grain store to contact them, did this mean that even though his elder brother knew he had lost his sight, he had not given up on his idea?
Gu Yuzhi sat up straight, her lips pursed into a thin line, and asked again uncertainly, "Your Majesty really had Consort De bring me medicinal herbs? Really?"
Wen Xiuzhu finally understood what Shu Xiaohan meant when she said that the little prince was really easy to coax.
However, the moment the young prince heard that Consort De had sent over some precious medicinal herbs, he immediately became happy again.
Wen Xiuzhu breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious: "Of course it's true! Your Highness, you may not have noticed, but Guard Qi also gave Imperial Physician Qin a list of medicinal herbs. Imperial Physician Qin said that these herbs are basically for improving eyesight."
Gu Yuzhi's eyes lit up, meaning that these were all specially selected for him?
His pursed lips instantly relaxed, and he chuckled, revealing his white teeth. He shook his head and skipped towards his room, saying cheerfully, "Since my royal brother specially sent me medicinal herbs, I should give him a gift in return."
As for what it is, he can't think of it right now, it's just...
He scratched his head, thinking that he should write less in his letters, since his elder brother probably wouldn't like reading them anyway.
Gu Yuzhi gave a soft hum, and then heard Shu Xiaohan say, "Young Prince, I think the reason the Emperor writes so few letters is not because he doesn't want to share with you, but because he doesn't have the time, and he doesn't have anything fun to share with you."
She had heard the interns say that there were short videos explaining how boring the emperor's memorials were, such as officials in the court greeting the emperor three times a day, or high-ranking officials submitting memorials three times a day saying they wanted to return to the capital to meet the emperor, and so on.
If that's really the case, it's perfectly normal that the Emperor doesn't have extra time to write letters to the young prince.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuzhi thought, "That seems to be true too!"
His smile instantly became even brighter.
