In the 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, 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 began to feel guilty, so the emperor did not meet them immediately, and they were still able to remain calm.
Now they are a little uneasy. Hearsay is never as shocking as seeing it with one's own eyes. Only when they arrived in the capital did they understand why biographies wrote that the ancient Eastern country was covered with gold and how powerful it was.
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, yes, it is what they desire.
In 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, overshadowing the visits of envoys from various countries. The emperor is preoccupied with the important matter of his son's return to the royal family.
The emperor was in a good mood. "It's all thanks to you that this child can return safely. Now sometimes I feel 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 did it indeed, and was ranked third on the list of successful candidates in the imperial examination. This child proved his excellence through his own efforts.
But if it weren't for him and Zhulan, even if Rongchuan was alive and 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 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 shows the trust of the prince.
The emperor was proud of his youngest son, "You 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 was not so outstanding, the emperor probably wouldn't be so proud.
In the study, Rongchuan remembered what his father-in-law said. At this time, he should not be too deliberate in observing the etiquette between monarch and subject with the prince. He should be closer to the prince. They are brothers from the same mother. 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 a lot more relaxed, with a smile on his face, "Actually, I would like to see you try it on."
Rong Chuan glared, "Are you still my brother? You let me, your brother, wear high heels. They are high heels!"
The prince said, "It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone."
Rong Chuan was surprised, "They also gave it to Big 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 admire 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 will instinctively indulge his younger brother, and after his younger brother's identity was exposed, his intimacy and dependence on him made the prince feel more and more like an older brother. This is his younger brother, and they are different even if 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 it is easy to get sick in a dirty and messy place. Now that maritime trade is so prosperous, the court cannot be foolproof even if it is prepared, so I am willing to sell cement."
He thought it was good because it not only brought benefits but also eliminated some dangers.
Rong Chuan blinked his eyes and said, "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 his 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 sons are happy, but he is not happy.
However, Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, and Rongchuan took his words to heart. No matter how blood brothers are, their feelings need to be cultivated. If brothers do not show affection to each other, there will be estrangement sooner or later.
Ever since Zhou Shuren heard from his wife about what happened in the prince's backyard, he would talk to Rongchuan about it whenever he had time. If they didn't 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 prince first and then the brother. If he seizes the opportunity, Rongchuan will have a better future.
At Zhou's house, Xue Han came back from outside and brought back a lot of things.
Zhulan was puzzled, "You didn't go to pick up the jewelry, why did you buy 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 she gave them to her."
Zhulan blinked, "It's already started to find you."
Xue Han spread her hands, "Yes, Rong Chuan didn't respond several times, so now he comes to my daughter. Mom, do you see 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 smell was too strong and she really didn'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 flavors.
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.
