3788. Chapter 3788 Everyone has great ambitions [02]
Shen Mingzhu opened the curtains and took a look outside. The royal road was wide, with common people walking on both sides, but it was also paved with bluestones. It was clean and tidy. There were drainage ditches on both sides of the road, with stone slabs paved on them, which was also very neat.
On both sides of the road are residential structures with shops in the front and houses in the back. The shops are all two or three-story structures, neat and simple, but strong and beautiful.
Because of the clearing, there were no idle people on the road, but there were people moving in the shops on both sides. They walked to the door and windows one after another and looked out. They looked leisurely, without any tension or fatigue, and their faces were rosy, not like the common people in some places.
That way you won't have enough to eat or clothes to keep warm.
She said softly: "Your Majesty, it looks like the people in Chujing are living no worse than those in the capital."
Xiao Xian hummed, took a look, and said in a normal voice that was not afraid of Xia Zhilin hearing: "The land of Chu was originally a land of plenty, and the fiefdom chosen by the late emperor for the prince was naturally a prosperous land. In addition, the emperor has also treated the king of Chu over the years.
Being tolerant and generous, the King of Chu also had strategies, and Chu Jing naturally became richer and more prosperous."
Xia Zhilin heard this and thought: The prince's evaluation is fair. The emperor is indeed good to the Emperor of Chu. Although it is not sincere, it is just to save face, but it is also true. In addition, the Emperor of Chu was indeed full of scheming at the beginning.
He just pretends to be indifferent to fame and fortune.
Along the way, Shen Mingzhu saw that the people were all well-fed and at ease. No one was in a hurry, and even beggars were rare. She didn't know whether it was Chu Jing who was like this, or Xiao Wen****
***.
If ******** was doing it for Xiao Xian, then why and what are the benefits?
Shen Mingzhu looked all the way and then arrived in front of the palace gate.
When the guards saw Xia Zhilin driving the carriage in person, they naturally knew it was the emperor's order, so they let him go without questioning him carefully.
After entering the palace, you had to get off the carriage and change your carriage in a palace courtyard inside the palace gate.
The shoulder carriages have also been prepared a long time ago, and they are still the same as those of the prince and princess. In addition, they are allowed to follow a few followers.
Following Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu were six people including Qu Shui, Zhang Huai, Zhu Yi and Ju Yun.
Soon we arrived at the Qinzheng Hall where Xiao Wen lived.
The front hall of Qinzheng Hall was in the front hall and the back was sleeping. Xiao Wen usually went to the front to go to court, and when he went to court, he would review memorials and live in the back.
Major celebrations such as going to court on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month are all held in the Tai Chi Hall in front.
When Xiao Xian and others arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, a eunuch immediately went to report it. Huang Yong, the loyal eunuch who Xiao Wen had followed since childhood, ran out quickly and said happily in a high-pitched voice: "The emperor was still talking about it just now, but I didn't expect the prince and Shen
The lady is here."
He knelt down to say hello without any ambiguity.
Xiao Xian smiled and asked him to lead the way without any courtesy.
Huang Yong took Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu into the inner hall to meet Xiao Wen.
Xia Zhilin retreated and waited for the emperor's call before entering again.
Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu were led into the inner hall by Huang Yong. Before they got closer, they saw Xiao Wen, wearing the imperial uniform with eight dragon patterns, walking out of the inner hall. He had a loud laugh and a handsome face, striding towards
He walked over to the two of them and said, "Long time no see. How are you two?"
Shen Mingzhu knelt down and saluted, while Xiao Xian just cupped his fists. No one kowtowed to meet the emperor, and Xiao Wen didn't seem to care at all.
A complex look flashed in Huang Yong's eyes, he glanced at Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu, and then lowered his eyelids.
