After discussing the imperial edict, Zhao Xian began to recount the actions of the eldest prince in Shuixian Village.
Li Xue and Li Guang listened quietly, but gradually they became uneasy. They hadn't expected that such strange things would happen as soon as the eldest prince entered the village.
In Narcissus Village, the eldest prince did not settle down to understand the people's conditions as the emperor had hoped; instead, he pursued eating, drinking, and having fun.
Unexpectedly, Li Hui, in his desire to eat bear paws, set his sights on Xiao Hei, which led to the two little guys retaliating. Was this fate?
As the saying goes, "Those who do evil will not live long." The Crown Prince's injury from the mountain bees was entirely his own fault, and he has no one to blame but himself.
This trip back to Beijing to treat his pockmarks is probably pointless; it's probably divine punishment, a mark left on his face.
Li Xue sighed. The emperor had good intentions, wanting the eldest prince to go out and gain experience, but Heaven did not agree and did not give him the opportunity at all.
Li Xue stared blankly at Li Guang, her feelings a mix of confusion and bewilderment.
Zhao Xian looked at Li Xue and felt uneasy. Li Xue was so young, yet she was risking her life and traveling around for the sake of the country, which seemed a bit out of place for her age.
He knew Li Xue's worries, but he was powerless to help her.
This is a matter for the royal family, and there's nothing one can do about it. Forcibly interfering will only bring trouble upon oneself, and the final outcome will be disastrous. History has seen many such cases, and the lessons are painful.
Seeing Li Xue staring at him, Li Guang felt his heart was bleeding. He wanted to comfort Li Xue, but there were other people around, so he couldn't speak.
The scales in Li Xue's mind began to tip; she could not continue like this and had to make a difference.
Marrying Meng Yaoyao might have been an opportunity, with the Nanyi tribe as a powerful backer, but he missed it.
Although he was unwilling to fight Li Hui, a man of his own flesh and blood, he had no choice but to do so for the sake of the Great Northern Dynasty's century-long foundation and the eternal stability of its empire.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was rather dull, so Zhao Xian decided to tell some lighthearted and cheerful stories to liven things up.
"I have good news for you: all the lotus leaves in the lake have sprouted."
I released a large number of koi into the lake, a full thousand. These koi swam in the lake in groups, which was a spectacular sight.
The presence of koi fish has made the lake even more beautiful.
Li Xue was delighted to hear that lotus leaves had sprouted in the lake and that a large number of koi had been released into it. Unfortunately, it was already late, so it seemed she would have to go and see for herself tomorrow.
Li Guang said, "Brother Zhao, I have conducted investigations and careful research in several water towns in the south, and designed a pavilion and tower."
I plan to go to the site tomorrow to take a look and start construction.
Zhao Xian nodded and said:
"Between the fertile fields and mountains bestowed by the imperial court, there is a thousand acres of barren land that I have purchased, and I plan to build a mountain villa there."
At the same time, we also need to build workshops and warehouses to expand our industry and cooperate with the construction of the second phase of the village's market.
In addition, I plan to build a square on the wasteland so that important events in the village and my family can be held there in the future.
Of course, these are just some of my ideas. I've already drawn up the blueprints. Li Guang, please give me your feedback and see if there are any modifications needed.
When Li Guang thought of building a square on the barren beach, he immediately thought of the dance venue in Nancha Ancient Castle.
Building a large square now is quite necessary; it will definitely come in handy in the future.
“Okay, Brother Zhao, we must make use of this huge wasteland,” Li Guang said.
Having said everything she needed to say, it was Li Xue's turn to talk about her experience traveling south.
Dinner was over by then, and everyone gathered around to listen to Li Xue recount her journey south.
Li Xue explained in great detail, and everyone present listened very attentively. No one expected that they would encounter the old Taoist priest on their trip south.
What's even more incredible is that the old Taoist knew they were coming and waited for them in Lianqiao Water Town for three months, which further proves that the old Taoist was a hermit master.
Everyone listened with great interest, and soon Li Xue began to talk about the Nansha Ancient Castle.
Li Guang was a little embarrassed and lowered his head, almost burying it under the table.
When Li Xue saw Li Guang's expression, she couldn't help but laugh. However, she still had to say what needed to be said, but since it involved Li Guang's secret, she didn't dare to reveal it.
Li Xue only said that Li Guang attended a bonfire dance party and was noticed by the daughter of the Nanyi tribe chief. She then took Li Guang to the castle, and in the end, Li Guang married Meng Yaoyao.
Because there were still some things to take care of at the castle, Meng Yaoyao did not come this time. She made an appointment with Li Guang that she would come to Shuixian Village a month later.
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered immediately, and the atmosphere at the scene instantly became lively. This trip south was such a good deal; Li Guang had married the daughter of the chieftain of the Nanyi tribe. He was incredibly lucky.
Zhao Xian was also very happy. He had always felt that Li Guang was lonely and miserable, but he never expected that Li Guang would get married during this trip south. In this way, Li Guang would no longer feel lonely.
With Li Guang's intelligence and diligence, the couple's future life will surely be happy.
"Lord Shaofu, you borrowed Li Guang back then, and now I'm returning him to you unharmed, and even bringing him back a wife. How will you thank me?" Li Xue asked.
Zhao Xian burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"Princess, please tell me how you wish to express your gratitude, and I will do my best to do so."
"I haven't decided yet. I'll ask Lord Shaofu for it when I've made up my mind."
"Okay, no problem, then it's settled."
It was getting late, so Li Xue went back to the inn to rest, and Li Guang went to the farm.
By the bright moonlight, even though they were still quite a distance from the farm, Li Guang saw Yu Hong perched on Xiao Hei's head, running towards him.
Although it was a trip, it was still very tiring. Li Xue slept until the next morning before getting up. After washing up, she came to Zhao Xian's place.
"Greetings, Princess."
Seeing Zhao Xian's serious expression, Li Xue wanted to laugh, but Zhao Xian still looked serious, so she felt that something must be wrong.
"Your Excellency, there's no need for such formalities. Is there something important?" Li Xue asked.
"Does the princess still know Nassbah?"
"Of course I know. In the Yuanxi incident, we captured some barbarians. According to their confession, a barbarian named Nashibai went to the Central Plains and his whereabouts are unknown. Does the Lord Shaofu know the whereabouts of this person?"
Zhao Xian nodded and said:
"Of course I know where this person is. He just came by. If the princess had come earlier, she would have run into him."
"What?" Li Xue was taken aback.
“This Nashbai knows kung fu. He came to you because he definitely wants to hurt you. Tell me where he is, and I’ll catch him first.”
