Chen Huang and You Lihua sat side by side on the dragon throne.

There is a small table in front of the dragon throne, which is filled with a number of melon seeds, dried fruits, dried meat, etc.

Chen Huang and You Lihua listened to Zhu Xiuyuan's narration as if they were listening to a story. They kept eating melon seeds and dried fruits in their mouths...

Zhu Xiuyuan pursed his lips and couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Here, this emperor is a bit interesting, does he think of me as a storyteller? Looking at their appearance, they are no different from when the lady and the others listened to "The Legend of the Bird Shooting Hero"

!”

no way.

Who told them that one of them is the current emperor of Chen State, and the other is the most favored concubine of Chen State!

Although Zhu Xiuyuan did not expect that his journey to the palace would turn into a "story meeting", but since things have already happened, let's tell them to satisfy their curiosity.

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't even think about things like laziness and bad governance that harmed the country.

Because he had already preconceived the idea that Liu Shubao was a coward. Facing a coward, Zhu Xiuyuan did not dare to risk his head by running to dissuade him.

If the emperor could listen to his advice, how could he still stay in the palace and listen to his stories? I'm afraid he would have gone to deal with the mountains of memorials long ago.

Zhu Xiuyuan instinctively rejects the idea of ​​"if the king wants his ministers to die, they must die".

…

Zhu Xiuyuan started to talk eloquently. What he talked about was so exciting, exciting and exciting.

When he talked about how pitiful the people affected by the disaster were, Chen Huang and You Lihua also sighed repeatedly.

Although Emperor Chen was a foolish king, he was not so foolish as to say, "Why not eat minced meat?" According to Zhu Xiuyuan's observation, he was more lazy and didn't want to take care of it, and found it troublesome...

When Zhu Xiuyuan talked about the specific process of implementing plague prevention and control methods, Chen Huang and You Lihua turned into curious babies and asked questions, such as the reasons for not drinking raw water and eating cold food.

…Following Zhu Xiuyuan’s detailed explanation, Chen Huang and You Lihua realized that this method of preventing and controlling the plague indeed contained great principles, and even some of the terms could be applied to daily life…

Later, Zhu Xiuyuan told the story of how he fainted from exhaustion and how Dong Cheng was infected with the plague and was finally cured. This section was quite tortuous. Chen Huang and You Lihua were fascinated by it, as if they had been integrated into the story.

This is still worrying.

When Zhu Xiuyuan talked about Jiangzhou's soldiers and civilians finally defeating the plague after hard work, Chen Huang and You Lihua clinked glasses to celebrate, laughing happily, as if they had defeated the plague.

Next is the story after Jiangnan West Road Investigation and Disposal Envoy Yang Tingyu came to Jiangzhou.

This part of the story also made Chen Huang excited, especially the part where Fang Tang, Hua Chao Shi, and Wan Qian were sentenced. Chen Huang was so excited that he took pictures of the dragon chair three times in a row and praised: "Not bad, Old Man Yang can do this."

Not bad.”

Zhu Xiuyuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, what? Old man Yang?

…

"Haha, yes, yes, I didn't expect so many things to happen in Jiangzhou..."

After the story was told, Chen Huang was extremely satisfied.

"I understand. Among the floods and plagues in Jiangzhou, Zhu Aiqing and Ling Taishan contributed the most. It is right for Old Man Yang to promote you to Jiangzhou Governor and Sima. I fully agree!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhu Xiuyuan bowed his hands. Since Emperor Chen said so, then his and his father-in-law's positions would be secure.

"However, the positions of governor and Sima alone are not enough compared to your achievements!"

"Your Majesty, if my father-in-law can be promoted to governor and Sima, he has been promoted several levels in a row, which is enough!" Zhu Xiuyuan said modestly.

You Lihua interjected: "Your Majesty, the positions of governor and Sima are already the highest among state officials and cannot be promoted. How about giving more gold, silver, cloth and fields, etc., so as to show your majesty's praise for Sima.

."

Liu Shubao thought for a moment, nodded and said, "What my concubine said makes sense!"

…

The emperor rewards you with gold and silver, so naturally it is impossible to tell you what I want to reward you on the spot. In fact, after Zhu Xiuyuan returns, someone from the palace will send you the reward.

Only then will we know what the emperor has rewarded.

The "story" had been told and the reward issue had been "negotiated," so Zhu Xiuyuan left the hall.

The young eunuch still led him out of the palace.

However, after the little eunuch led him for a few steps, he suddenly stopped, raised his hands to Zhu Xiuyuan and said, "I wish Sima to come out of the palace later. If the noble concubine has invited me, please wish Sima to come with us."

Zhu Xiuyuan took steps in confusion and followed the little eunuch in the other direction.

He was extremely confused, "Is the imperial concubine invited?"

What's the meaning?

Which concubine invited him? Is it Concubine You or some other concubine?

If it was Concubine You, couldn't she say something in the main hall of Qin'an Palace? Why did she have to invite him alone...

I go!

Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly stopped in his steps and became alert in his heart.

There's a ghost!

There must be a ghost in here!

Zhu Xiuyuan glanced at the eunuch leading the way and saw him walking forward quickly.

Zhu Xiuyuan carefully recalled the little eunuch's expression. It seemed... very natural, without any hint of caution or sneakiness.

Zhu Xiuyuan was filled with doubts. After a moment's hesitation, he took steps to keep up with the young eunuch.

If he didn't follow him, Zhu Xiuyuan would be like a headless fly in this deep palace. He wouldn't be able to find a way out!

Zhu Xiuyuan followed him all the way, secretly looking around...

After walking for a long time, they came to a place called "Renshou Palace".

The young eunuch invited Zhu Xiuyuan into a side hall, but saw that there was already someone waiting there.

This person is a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old. His clothes are luxurious and elegant, his appearance is very delicate, his body is relatively thin, but he has an extraordinary bearing and a strong scholarly atmosphere.

When Zhu Xiuyuan saw this person, he was immediately dumbfounded.

What's the situation? Didn't it say that a certain noble concubine was invited?

How did he end up being such a handsome young man?

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned, but he saw the little eunuch quickly walked up to the young man, knelt down, and said: "I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Prince!

Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly bowed his hands: "I, Jiangzhou Sima Zhu Xiuyuan, pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

The prince paid no attention to the kneeling eunuch. He looked at Zhu Xiuyuan, with a smile on his face. He raised his hands and returned the greeting: "Jiangzhou Sima Zhu Xiuyuan, are you the handsome young man my mother mentioned?"

Zhu Xiuyuan felt that His Highness the Crown Prince... was quite easy to get along with, mainly because he had such a strong scholarly aura. He was such a handsome gentleman that he was hard to dislike.
