Chapter 143 Return to Beijing
Xiao Xixi was startled and quickly retracted her hand.
She covered her fingers and complained, "I fed you chestnuts, why did you bite me?"
Luo Qinghan ignored her, threw the chestnut meat into his mouth, chewed it into pieces and swallowed it.
He continued reading his book as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Xixi looked down at her fingertips. The place where she was bitten was slightly red. It didn't hurt much, but it felt weird.
The next day, the prince got on a carriage and slowly left Gangu County under the escort of the Yulin Army.
The Prince's Tutor and the Prince's Protector were left in the Gangu County Government Office. They could not leave until the new county magistrate and county magistrate arrived.
When the people learned that the prince was leaving, they spontaneously followed the team and reluctantly saw them out of the city gate.
Only after the prince's carriage had gone more than ten miles did the people stop and watch it go away.
After Xiao Xixi got in the car, she found a comfortable position to lie down and quickly fell into sleep mode.
Luo Qinghan read quietly.
Everything is the same as when we came here.
The news that the prince had prayed for rain for the four southern counties spread quickly. Wherever the prince's carriage passed, many people along the way knelt down to express their gratitude.
These people did not understand any profound principles; they only knew that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who prayed for the rain for them.
This is a great favor from heaven!
The intimidation of the royal power, coupled with the catalyst of favor, made the people's worship of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reach its peak.
However, within just a few days, the prince's reputation in the south suddenly soared to an incredible level.
People in many places also spontaneously raised money to build a shrine for the prince, burning incense and praying for him every day, hoping that the prince would live a long life and bring more blessings to the people of the world in the future.
He stopped and walked along the way, leaving behind countless legends about the prince in various places.
Through word of mouth, in the eyes of many people, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has become a mythical existence.
It was two months later when the prince and his entourage returned to Shengjing.
The news that the Crown Prince had successfully prayed for rain had spread to Shengjing through the merchants. Everyone was amazed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was worthy of being the future emperor, as he had made it rain with just one move.
In one word, awesome!
The people of the Dasheng Dynasty were open-minded and did not prohibit them from talking about royal affairs.
A storyteller adapted the prince's prayer for rain into a story and told it to everyone in teahouses and restaurants. Suddenly the prince became famous in Shengjing and attracted the admiration and worship of countless people.
The prince's carriage moved slowly along Suzaku Street.
Zhuque Street had already been cleared by the Yulin Army, and no outsiders dared to approach.
Only the Prince's Grand Tutor and a few officials came forward to kneel and greet the emperor.
The prince got out of the car himself and helped the prince's tutor up.
The Prince's Grand Tutor is now sixty years old. His hair and beard are all white, and he looks very thin. He needs someone to support him just to stand.
He looked at the tall and graceful Crown Prince in front of him with mixed feelings.
Originally, he was just like everyone else and was dismissive of the idea of praying for rain.
He also tried his best to dissuade the prince from going south to pray for rain.
Faced with the prince's stubbornness, he was very disappointed and thought that the prince would not listen to advice and would not become a wise ruler in the future.
When the prince left the palace, he didn't even come to see him off.
But the result is——
The prince not only prayed for rain to solve the drought in the south, but also rectified Gangu County, winning the gratitude and admiration of the people.
The extra chapters are over, and I have become the four-update weirdo again. Don't hit me, and don't scold me, I have to save up for the burst of chapters when they are released. (Running away with the lid on the pot)
