Chapter 491 I feel at ease listening to you
From the moment you step into the palace grounds, all the flowers you see along the way originate from the Realm of Auspiciousness.
Led by their biological father, Cang Nanxi, followed by Dongfang Jin, with Cang Lingchen and Gu Chenglin walking side by side behind them, they walked steadily toward the Imperial Study.
Just as the little eunuch standing at the door was about to shout, Long Yi gestured for him to shut up.
Cang Nanxi whispered to his daughter, "We'll see how things go in a bit, but don't worry, your cousin won't do anything to you."
This nephew of mine is really something; he sent someone to Mingyue Manor to pick up people yesterday.
Dongfang Jin nodded obediently; this cheap father of hers was actually quite reliable in a crucial moment.
"Thank you, Father. Don't worry, my cousin won't be wary of me, no matter who he is."
Hearing her confident words, Cang Nanxi remembered something: a contract. Yes, she had a contract with her nephew.
One glory and one glory.
As the group stepped into the hall, a warm, ink-scented atmosphere greeted them.
Emperor Shengde, Cang Lingyuan, was sitting with several senior ministers, including the Duke of Zhenguo, the Duke of Fuguo, the Duke of Suguo, the Duke of Wenguo, and the Duke of Dingguo.
The Imperial Tutor tapped his folding fan rhythmically, while Master Jingkong, dressed in a gray robe, sat quietly to the side, nodding occasionally.
Prime Minister Xie stood with his hands at his sides by the imperial desk, while everyone else had pleasant expressions and their laughter filled the air as they talked.
Upon seeing Prince Dun and Dongfang Jin enter, everyone stood up to greet them.
Emperor Shengde, Cang Lingyuan, looked at him gently and forgot to greet his uncle. He beckoned to Dongfang Jin and said, "Cousin, you've come at the right time. Come and sit down. Anshun, make some tea for Xiao Jin."
Anshun immediately replied, "Yes."
Cangnan rests...
What does my nephew mean by this?
He's still alive and well.
Cang Lingchen and Gu Chenglin stepped forward to pay their respects to Emperor Shengde, but were stopped: "Cousin and brother-in-law do not need to pay their respects."
"Uncle, please have a seat. You look much better these past few days."
As soon as Cang Lingyuan said this, everyone present could detect a hint of sourness in his voice.
Cang Nanxi pretended not to understand and sat down next to Master Jingkong with a smile: "It's all because Jingchuan is so lucky."
Everyone...
Don't try to steer the conversation away from the Second Prince.
Dongfang Jin is your own daughter, how could she possibly mistreat you?
Dongfang Jin was too lazy to watch them fight, so she pulled Anshun Steward aside and handed him a can of black tea: "Drink this."
Anshun took the tea canister from her hand and said excitedly, "Wow, this is good, this is good."
Haha, he's in for a treat again.
Dongfang Jin watched him smile so hard his eyes were practically slits; his chubby, fair figure looked like a Maitreya Buddha when he laughed.
The Imperial Tutor stared at Dongfang Jin with satisfaction: "Girl, if I had to say, it's the tea in your hand that I've been missing so much!"
Dongfang Jin rubbed her forehead, then waved her hand, and several tea canisters appeared on the imperial desk, enough for one person: "One for each person."
This tea has a very low yield; only this much is needed each year, so you must drink it sparingly.
This tea was grown in the Ruyi Realm and was also roasted by Ruyi herself, but she cannot take too much.
Because this tea needs to be brewed one root at a time, each jar contains about 150 grams (about 3 liang), which is enough for them to drink for a while.
Upon hearing her say this, the group quickly reached out and each grabbed a jar, stuffing it into their own storage bags.
Master Jingkong raised his kind eyebrows slightly, his gaze as calm and clear as a pool of water, and looked at the noble and elegant Dongfang Jin with a smile.
His voice was clear and gentle, yet tinged with seriousness: "Sheng An, the heads of the four major forces in the martial arts world have all gathered in the capital. I am eager to hear your opinion on this situation."
This girl is something else!
The nation's fortunes are currently on the rise, albeit at a pitifully slow pace, but this is a good omen.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jin stepped forward and bowed respectfully in a deep salute.
When he looked up, a sharp glint flashed in his dark, jade-like eyes, but a gentle smile remained on his lips: "Uncle-Master, your wisdom is profound, how could you not understand the key to this?"
Ever since the old monk emerged from seclusion at Lingwu Mountain, he has insisted that she call him "Shishu" (a term of respect for a senior monk).
You know, she's a woman... and in the end, she was so pestered that she had no choice but to scream.
Master Jingkong clapped his hands and chuckled, “Although we have some idea of what’s going on, we still need to hear your personal analysis before we can truly feel at ease.”
Hehe, this girl is indeed worthy of being the person whose great fortune was calculated by her master at the cost of his lifespan.
The seated Cang Lingyuan was completely devoid of his usual imperial majesty, with his robe sleeves half-rolled up, revealing a jade bracelet on his wrist (a spatial artifact given to him by Ruyi).
He laughed heartily, just like any ordinary young master from a noble family, and said, "Master is absolutely right! Cousin, you should tell your brother the truth. Only by listening to you can I feel at ease."
This girl has taught his crown prince very well, and he is extremely satisfied.
Now that the Empress is pregnant again, the Second Prince has also successfully gone to her side. He is in good health and can live long enough to wait for the Crown Prince to ascend the throne.
At that time, he will also take the Empress and go on a trip with this girl.
The Imperial Tutor's white beard twitched slightly as he stroked the three long strands of his beard with his fingertips, his gaze intense: "Speak freely, we are all ears."
He admires no one but this girl now.
Whatever she gave, it was quick to take effect and didn't cause much of a change.
Promote the imperial examination system, revitalize agriculture and sericulture, support commerce, and strengthen the military...
He single-handedly brought the Eastern Lin Kingdom back to life in just five years.
Those products not only boosted the local economy but also enriched the dining tables of the people.
Tea, oil, sugar, wine, fruit, braised meat, salted duck eggs... and so on.
Even those old guys were incredibly impressed!
The Duke of Zhenguo slapped the armrest with a hearty laugh, his voice strong and clear: "Girl, just tell us what you really want, we old folks want you to know the truth!"
My eldest son wrote!
They say that the soldiers in the army are now well-fed and warmly dressed, and they can train and farm at the same time.
Those soldiers' families who were willing to move to the border area with their children were not only allocated houses there.
They have land and jobs. Their children, regardless of gender, receive free education and free medical care.
Those who do well in their studies will receive a reward.
All of this was brought by this girl. Without her, his sons and grandsons would probably still be suffering on the border.
In the early days, there were five cities surrounding Longhu Pass, each with a population of less than a thousand.
Everywhere was desolate and deathly silent, and the people there lived like zombies.
Since the establishment of the Lingyun Pavilion branch, bean product factories, livestock farms, oil mills, and other businesses have sprung up there.
It not only solved the employment problem for military dependents, but also brought hope to the local people.
Today, the western border is overcrowded with people, who are all in high spirits, and the fields are full of vitality.
Every time his sons wrote to him, he felt very happy to see the contents, and he wished he could see the earth-shaking changes for himself.
Duke Wen lightly flicked his lake-blue wide sleeves, and the jade thumb ring gleamed with a warm luster in the slanting morning light.
His tone carried a hint of emotion: "To be honest, this turn of events truly exceeded our expectations..."
The others nodded in agreement.
Dongfang Jin glanced down at the eagerness in her cousin's eyes, then noticed her adoptive father nodding slightly below.
The jade belt hook at her waist swayed slightly with her movements. Finally, she nodded gently, her fingertips unconsciously caressing the jade cicada ornament in her sleeve, a faint smile curving her lips.
He stepped forward, bowed deeply to the elderly men, and stood up: "Your Majesty, the forces of the martial world have always been uniquely favored and unrestrained."
There must be a reason for this sudden gathering.
The Royal Primary School incident may be the trigger, but it may not be the root of the problem, though it is unlikely to cause any major trouble.
Although their arrival was sudden, they were very discreet; we just need to act according to the situation.
Before she finished speaking, the Duke of Zhenguo stroked his beard and nodded, while the Duke of Fuguo, Dongfang Su, raised his eyebrows slightly, as if in agreement.
This girl belongs to the Dongfang family.
His proud demeanor drew everyone's attention. His own father is still alive; what are you so smug about?
Cang Lingyuan tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, then turned his gaze to the swaying bamboo shadows outside the window: "My cousin thinks the same way I do."
He suddenly chuckled, his eyes crinkling slightly: "Long Yi has already notified Yu Chuan (He Lian Shuo) to keep an eye on the movements of each prefecture, and the Lin family has been brought under control."
Qingchen (Changsun Lan) also had his men spread throughout the capital—secretly watching their every move.
After saying that, he stared at Dongfang Jin for a long time, his eyes crinkling as if trying to entice her: "Cousin, this palace banquet... do you want to attend?"
