"Your Majesty, the thing is roughly like this. After what happened today, I have understood that the people of our country are not as peaceful and peaceful as the officials said. Even in an important place like the imperial capital, beggars can still be seen everywhere. It can be seen that in How poor and difficult life is for people in other places."
"My brother is ashamed. He comes from a royal family. Wen can't rule the country and bring peace to the world. Military force can't expand the territory. Zhao Kang brought my brother out of the palace. This is to make my brother realize his responsibilities as a descendant of the Xiao family. It also makes my brother realize his responsibilities." I understand His Majesty’s hard work..."
Xiao Xuance was stumbling when he spoke, and even squeezed out a few tears. Zhao Kang couldn't help but admire his acting skills.
The young man has a future.
Xiao Linglong was stunned. She could no longer believe that these words would come from Xiao Xuance's mouth. She even hesitated for a long time before speaking in a tone that was extremely unbecoming of an emperor.
"Xuance, do you really think so?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely study hard and follow Mr. Zhao's teachings from now on. I hope that I can share your Majesty's worries in the future."
"Okay, okay!"
After saying several good words in a row, Her Majesty the Empress felt the tip of her nose was sore and turned around to prevent others from seeing her tears. After a long time, she turned around and spoke softly: "Get up quickly, the ground is cold, Xuance has really grown up. ."
Seeing this appearance, Zhao Kang and Xiao Xuance breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, finally passing the test.
"Go and change your clothes. What does it look like to be the crown prince?" Xiao Linglong looked at her younger brother with pity.
Xiao Xuance quickly thanked him and left. When Zhao Kang saw that he was left to face this tough woman, he hurriedly wanted to leave and run away, but was stopped by Her Majesty the Empress.
"Ahem, does your Majesty have anything else to do?"
Zhao Kang asked cautiously, really afraid of being beaten.
"You are very good. It is indispensable that Xuance has made the changes he has today without your contribution." Xiao Linglong calmed down her emotions and made her tone as calm as possible.
Zhao Kang only felt a little guilty: "Your Majesty has given you too much praise. Your Highness is already talented and smart. In the final analysis, your past naughtiness is just the nature of a child."
"You are quite modest. You did a good job today."
Xiao Linglong nodded and then changed the topic: "But no matter what, Xuan Ce is also a high-ranking prince. Isn't it too much to let a few beggars be pinned to the ground and beaten?"
"Uh... Your Majesty is saying that I didn't think carefully." Zhao Kang was helpless.
Xiao Linglong changed the topic and said calmly: "I heard from Mr. Lin that Xuance spent two thousand taels on this beating?"
"Ahem, it's all a joke. How could I be so mean?"
Damn you bitch woman, you have so many eyeliners!
Zhao Kang sighed and took out the two thousand taels of silver notes from his sleeves, but he just got them and lost them again!
Xiao Linglong took the banknote casually and looked at Zhao Kang who was looking down with her phoenix eyes, feeling a little headache.
This bastard was so courageous, but he still had some tricks up his sleeve. Even Xuance was convinced by him. Thinking about it, Xiao Linglong could only say: "It's better not to do this kind of thing in the future. It's about the reputation of the royal family. It won’t sound good if it gets spread out.”
"I understand."
"Okay, step back."
Although he lost two thousand taels, Zhao Kang didn't feel it was a pity that he had escaped safely, but he really had to find something to do in the imperial capital.
At the very least, we have to contact a few merchants, as there are a lot of goods in the Yuanjiang County warehouse.
With this idea in mind, Zhao Kang left the palace and ran around the imperial capital, stopping quickly when passing by the Weaving Bureau.
He knew this department, which was responsible for textiles for the royal family and officials. The level was not low. Zhao Kang subconsciously wanted to go in, but was stopped.
“Damn it, it’s not our own territory, it’s really restricting us everywhere!”
Just as Zhao Kang was about to leave, a familiar voice sounded: "Master Zhao."
Zhao Kang looked back, feeling wary in his heart, but on the surface he greeted him warmly: "Young Master Wang, long time no see."
The person who stopped him was Wang San, who had invited him to a meal as soon as he arrived in the imperial capital.
I also knew in my heart that the name Wang San must be fake. This guy might just be the son of a prince, general or minister, and he was not something a sixth-grade grasshopper like him could afford to offend.
"Master Zhao, are you here to receive your official uniform?" Wang San approached with a smile, holding a canary in a birdcage. He only asked this when he saw Zhao Kang standing at the door of the Weaving Bureau.
Zhao Kang shook his head and smiled: "I just want to go in and have a look."
"Go in and take a look?"
Wang Sanyile: "Isn't it just a place for weaving and dyeing cloth? Although the grade is not low, there is nothing interesting about it."
"That's true. Then I won't disturb Mr. Wang's leisure. I have to rush back."
Not wanting to have too much interaction with the person in front of him, Zhao Kang was about to leave.
Seeing his appearance, Wang San chuckled in his heart and said, "But, if Mr. Zhao wants to go in and have a look, it's not impossible. Come on, I'll show you the way."
As he said this, Wang San took Zhao Kang's hand and walked towards the gate of the Weaving Bureau without allowing him to refuse. He casually took out a badge and waved it, and the guard who had stopped Zhao Kang let him go.
This guy is really annoying.
Feeling helpless, Wang San would not let him go, so Zhao Kang had no choice but to follow him.
Wang San introduced Zhao Kang as if he had arrived at his own home, where was the embroidery workshop and where was the dyeing workshop, which was responsible for all the officials' textile supplies.
The Weaving Bureau naturally occupies a large area. The two of them walked around for a long time. Zhao Kang stopped when he heard that the place in front of him was a spinning warehouse.
"Master Zhao, want to go in and take a look?" Wang San said understandingly.
Zhao Kang: "Would it be too much trouble?"
"It's just a look, it's not a big deal, let's go."
In the room, a series of spinning wheels were operating. Qianguo had already used cotton. When the spinning wheels turned, cotton threads were produced in balls. Zhao Kang's eyes were instantly attracted to stare at the spinning wheels, and a picture flashed in his mind.
Wang San on the side looked at Zhao Kang with interest. What is this guy going to do?
What can be seen from a spinning wheel?
After a while, Zhao Kang stepped forward and said to the Weaver Girl in front of him: "Can you let me try?"
The woman hesitated for a moment, then looked at the female officer in the distance and saw that she had no objection, so she stepped aside and said, "My lord, please."
Zhao Kang stepped forward and turned the spinning wheel, but he was a layman after all and couldn't do it well. The Weaver Girl couldn't stand it anymore and started to teach him a few times, and Zhao Kang gradually understood.
Then Zhao Kang asked about the working principle of the spinning wheel, and immediately felt happy: "Yes."
"What's wrong, Mr. Zhao?" Wang San came forward and asked curiously.
Zhao Kang turned around and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Mr. Wang, for today. I will treat you to a drink another day!"
After saying that, Zhao Kang ran away without giving Wang San time to react. Wang San stared blankly at Zhao Kang's back, and it took him a long time to react.
Damn it, you didn’t even ask where my home is, why don’t you buy me a drink with a hammer!
Here Zhao Kang quickly ran back to his residence, picked up a pen and started drawing on the paper. In his mind was the weaver girl explaining every structure of the spinning wheel.
