Chapter 1236: Emotions Need to Be Cultivated

In a blink of an eye, another three days had passed, and the emperor still had no intention of meeting with envoys from various countries. At this time, the envoys from various countries had visited all the places they could visit in the capital, and had also observed some places that they could not go to from outside. After arriving in the capital for many days, they felt guilty at first, so the emperor did not meet them immediately, and they were still calm.

Now they were a little uneasy. Hearsay was never as shocking as seeing something with one's own eyes. Only when they arrived in the capital did they understand why biographies described the ancient Eastern country as being covered in gold and so powerful.

Now that they had seen with their own eyes how powerful the Eastern Kingdom was, they regretted having such inappropriate thoughts. They really regretted it, especially when they saw the clean streets of the capital. They were not muddy even when it rained, and the drainage was very good, and the streets were not dirty at all.

This is what they desire, that's right.

Inside the palace, the emperor and Zhou Shuren were playing chess. The emperor said, "The day of sacrifice will be in three days."

Zhou Shuren said, "Everyone in the capital knows about it."

This is the most important event at the moment. Even more than the visits of envoys from various countries, the emperor is preoccupied with the important matter of his son returning to the royal family.

The emperor was in a good mood. "It's thanks to you that this child can return safely. Now sometimes I get scared when I think about what would have happened to Rongchuan if you hadn't saved him."

Zhou Shuren thought that if he had not extended his help, Rongchuan would have either died or suffered hardships. A person's growth environment is very important. Because of the ideological education of two modern people, him and Zhulan, Rongchuan stood up straight even though he was fostered in the Zhou family, and worked hard to fight for his own future.

Rongchuan indeed did it, and was ranked third in the imperial examination. This child proved his excellence with his own efforts.

But if it weren't for him and Zhulan, even if Rongchuan was alive and finally returned to the royal family, he would still feel inferior. Environment and education are too important for children.

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "After a great disaster, there will always be good fortune. Now it has been proven."

There is no one in the entire capital city more fortunate than Rongchuan. These days, Rongchuan has gradually taken charge of publicity and represents the royal family, which is the trust of the prince.

The emperor was proud of his youngest son, "You have taught him well."

In this regard, he was really grateful to Zhou Shuren. His younger son's abilities were all taught by Zhou Shuren. Zhou Shuren was not only a father to Rongchuan, but also a master.

Zhou Shuren looked at the emperor. Although he didn't want to make any malicious assumptions, he couldn't help but think that if Rongchuan hadn't met him and wasn't so outstanding, the emperor probably wouldn't be so proud.

In the study, Rongchuan remembered what his father-in-law said, that at this moment he should not be too deliberate in observing the etiquette between monarch and subject with the prince, and should be more intimate with the prince. They are brothers from the same mother, and the prince will feel it as long as he is sincere.

Rong Chuan sat casually, looking depressed. "I'm so annoyed. The foreign prince has blocked me several times in the past two days and gave me a lot of things. I really don't want them."

The prince looked at his brother's sitting posture, but did not scold him. Instead, he felt relieved and smiled. "Actually, I want to see you try it on."

Rong Chuan glared, "Are you still my brother? You let me wear high heels, they are high heels!"

Prince, "I am happy alone, but not as happy as others."

Rong Chuan was surprised, "They also gave it to my eldest brother."

The prince nodded and said, "I gave it to my father. When he saw it, his face turned black."

Rong Chuan wanted to laugh, "No wonder the foreigners are so obsessed with cement. Every time they see me, they flatter and worship the Ministry of Industry, and even want to meet the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry!"

The prince took the fruit from Rongchuan's hand and said, "I am willing to sell it."

Rong Chuan was stunned for a moment, "I thought Big Brother wouldn't sell it!"

The prince would instinctively indulge his younger brother, and after his younger brother's identity was revealed, his closeness and dependence on him made the prince feel more and more like an older brother. This is his younger brother, and they are different because they are born of the same mother.

The prince gained brotherhood from his disappointment in his own backyard, and patiently explained, "I got a lot of information from the spies who came back from the ocean. You have been in the Imperial Hospital for a long time, and you know that dirtiness can easily cause illness. Now that maritime trade is so prosperous, even if the court is prepared, it cannot be infallible, so I am willing to sell cement."

He felt it was a good thing as it not only brought benefits but also eliminated some dangers.

Rong Chuan blinked his eyes, "Big Brother will definitely become an emperor praised by the world."

The prince's eyes were full of smiles. He rubbed his brother's hair. Seeing his brother protecting his head with both hands, the prince laughed.

The study was not far away, and the prince's laughter was not concealed, so Zhou Shuren and the emperor could hear it.

The emperor was in a particularly good mood, and then said, "I allow Shuren to regret his move."

Zhou Shuren, "......."

Haha, you three father and son are happy, but he is not happy.

However, Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, and Rongchuan took his words to heart. No matter they were brothers, their feelings needed to be cultivated. If brothers did not show affection to each other, there would be a gap between them sooner or later.

Ever since Zhou Shuren heard from his wife about the prince's backyard affairs, he would talk about them with Rongchuan whenever he had time. If they did not cultivate a deep brotherly relationship now, there would be no chance to cultivate it in the future.

The current prince is still the prince. Once he ascends the throne, the throne will change. He will be the king first and then the brother. If Rongchuan seizes the opportunity, his future will be better.

At Zhou's house, Xue Han came back from outside and brought back a lot of things.

Zhulan was puzzled, "You are not going to pick up jewelry, why are you buying so many things?"

Look at the exquisite and gorgeous boxes; these are sold in foreign shops.

Xue Han, "Mom, I didn't buy them. My daughter met a foreign princess, and these were given to her by the foreign princess."

Zhulan blinked, "I've already started looking for you."

Xue Han spread her hands, "Yes, Rong Chuan didn't respond several times, so he came to my daughter. Mom, do you think there is anyone you like?"

As she spoke, the girl had already opened the box.

Zhulan looked at the rows of exquisite glass bottles, which contained perfume and some wine sold by foreigners.

Zhulan shook her head, "No, I don't like it."

The taste is too strong and she really doesn't like it.

Xue Han doesn't like it either. It's a habit she developed with her mother over the years, and she likes light tastes.

At this time, the girl opened the last box. There were some interesting items in this box, some exquisite decorations. She picked out a few and kept them, and asked Xue Han to distribute the rest to several sisters-in-law and nieces.

In the blink of an eye, the day of sacrifice arrived.
