Chapter 118 The Little Prince Visits Emperor Xuanyuan
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Looking at his own prince sighing, Xiao Dezi couldn't help but come forward and ask with concern.
Xuanyuan Ruize rolled his eyes at Xiao Dezi, his eyes seemed to say: "What's wrong with me? Don't you know what's going on?"
In recent times, Xiao Dezi has been in high spirits. After all, Xuanyuan Ruize has begun to regent the country, and as the closest attendant to Xuanyuan Ruize, his status has naturally risen as well.
Coupled with some recent rumors, he became even more arrogant. Some people said that no one could shake the status of the little prince. Even though the eldest prince and the third prince had made great military achievements and were named princes, their fame still could not overshadow the little prince. Some even speculated that by letting the little prince serve as regent, the emperor was hinting to everyone that no matter how outstanding the other princes were, the future heir to the throne would only be the prince.
However, many people do not know that, whether it is the eldest prince Xuanyuan Yihong, the second prince Xuanyuan Fengyi, or the third prince Xuanyuan Siqi, the shadow of the little prince is behind their brilliant achievements. But how could His Majesty, as the ruler of a country, not know these things?
Emperor Xuanyuan certainly knew this, so he urged the little prince to make progress even more firmly. In fact, Emperor Xuanyuan had another reason in mind: the little prince was not a cruel and bloodthirsty person. Apart from being a little dissatisfied with the seventh brother, Xuanyuan Ruize seemed to be full of brotherhood towards the other brothers.
This situation was not particularly obvious in the past, but especially in the past year, with the changes in the little prince, the relationship between the princes has become more harmonious. If the little prince can ascend to the throne, this harmony will be better maintained and protected.
However, the current Xuanyuan Ruize is unaware of Emperor Xuanyuan's thoughts. He is wholeheartedly pushing his brothers forward.
"No, I have to go and take care of my father!" After lying on the recliner in the East Palace and thinking for a while, the little prince felt more and more that he could not go on like this, otherwise he would not be able to continue to live freely.
So, he decided to take action. He thought he should visit his father and send him some supplements, hoping to help him recover soon. If his father could live another forty years, then he would not need to inherit the throne too early. After all, who has ever seen an emperor who ascended the throne in his fifties? Thinking of this, he felt that this plan was very likely to be realized.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible. Although he still had to rely on his brothers, as long as Emperor Xuanyuan was in power, he would be much more relaxed. So he decided to go to the warehouse in person to select some high-quality medicinal materials to give to his father to show his filial piety.
"Come on, Xiao Dezi, follow me to the storehouse to get some top-quality medicinal herbs and send them to father." After saying that, he stood up and went to the storehouse. As the young prince, his storehouse contained a large number of precious medicinal herbs, even more than the imperial palace.
Most of these herbs were collected by him, and some were gifts from powerful ministers. Especially in the past year, someone would send the best herbs every few days.
The young prince knew all this well. Some people were just putting in superficial efforts, but he didn't care.
Anyway, I won't lose a piece of meat, so I might as well accept them all. Maybe they will come in handy someday. And I have a good reason to accept them, saying: I am indeed weak and sick, and I need these things to recuperate.
Seeing the little prince suddenly change his mood, Xiao Dezi was confused, but he just followed him. "I am the prince's most intimate eunuch, and I can't let others take away my title."
Xiao Dezi quickly followed.
The young prince carefully selected in the storehouse, and finally chose a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and a hundred-year-old ginseng. The Ganoderma lucidum was as big as a child's head and was very old, so it was obvious at a glance that it was very valuable; and the hundred-year-old ginseng looked like a radish, with thick roots, and was also a rare treasure.
"Wrap these two things!" The little prince gave an order, and Xiao Dezi hurriedly took them with both hands, and then he wrapped them carefully, fearing that there would be any damage.
"Your Highness, everything is packed." Xiao Dezi came to Xuanyuan Ruize holding the two packed boxes with a flattering smile on his face.
"Let's go to Xuanzheng Hall." The little prince flicked his sleeves and strode forward. This time, the little prince did not go there leisurely, but with clear eyes, because he was not in the mood to appreciate flowers recently.
As a result, before reaching Xuan Zheng Hall, on the way, Xuanyuan Ruize met the third prince who was still staying in the Imperial Garden.
"Sixth brother, where are you going?" The third prince asked with a smile as he looked at the hurried little prince.
"Third brother, I have to go see father. I have been the regent for more than a month. It's time for him to take me back, right?" The little prince told the truth, muttering to himself, "It would be better to return this position to father."
After hearing this, the third prince smiled slightly and said jokingly, "Aren't you doing a good job?"
Thinking of the ministers who were currently reviewing memorials in the Qinzheng Hall, Xuanyuan Siqi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Only his sixth brother could come up with this method.
Even if others dare to think about it, they must dare to do it!
The little prince can be regarded as the first person in history.
"Third brother, you don't know that the position of the emperor is not something that can be held by just one person. You have to work from dawn to dusk, and still not get any favors. You also have to be on guard against assassinations and poisonings. Look, hasn't the emperor been tricked?" The little prince became more and more panicked the more he thought about it.
The third prince heard this and could sense Xuanyuan Ruize's thoughts.
Finally, he patted the little prince on the shoulder and praised his filial piety.
"Let's go, I'll go with you to see the father."
The third prince also said that he had also prepared a gift and would go to visit the emperor with the little prince.
"Okay," the little prince nodded and agreed, and the two of them went to the emperor's bedroom together. Along the way, the little prince complained to the third prince about how tiring and hard it was to be an emperor. The third prince just listened with a smile and comforted him from time to time.
The little prince hopes that more people will care about Emperor Xuanyuan. It would be perfect if he could get better soon!
The two of them went to the emperor's bedroom together and handed the gifts to the eunuch beside the emperor.
The young prince and the third prince came forward to pay their respects. Seeing them coming, Emperor Xuanyuan felt a little relieved.
[My sons are so filial] Emperor Xuanyuan thought
The little prince looked at Emperor Xuanyuan who was sitting on a recliner reading a book, and couldn't help but feel sorry for himself. With tears in his eyes, he said to the emperor: "Father, your son is here to see you. You must get better soon."
When the emperor heard the little prince's words, a warm current surged in his heart, his eyes moistened slightly, and he almost shed tears. This little guy actually knows how to care about himself! It's really gratifying! The emperor was secretly happy and felt that all the hard work over the years was worth it.
The emperor looked at the little prince and the third prince with his eyes full of love. Seeing the two children being so filial, he was in a good mood and couldn't help but praise them: "Good! Good! Good! You are all my good children, I am very pleased."
The emperor waved his hand and said generously: "Since you are so filial, I will allow you to enter my private treasury to select a few treasures you like and take them back to keep well."
When the little prince heard this, he jumped up with excitement, his eyes sparkling and his face full of surprise. He didn't expect that just by expressing his concern for the emperor, he would get such a reward. He thought to himself, if he had known that there would be such a good thing, he should have come to show filial piety to Emperor Xuanyuan more often. At this moment, the little prince has completely become a little money-grubber, with only those rare treasures in his eyes.
However, when the emperor looked at the little prince, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He sighed secretly, hoping that he was just overthinking.
