Chapter 554 Opportunity
"What the father said is absolutely true." Xiao Luoan handed over his hand, "There is no royal land in the world. Whether mountains can be moved and trees can be planted, from my perspective, it all depends on the father's will."

"Well, that's a good thing." The emperor nodded slightly, "You have been cautious for several years, but you can suddenly say such a thing, which really surprises me."
"I heard that when bamboo grows, it spends several years growing in the soil and taking root. When it sprouts, it can grow several feet in one day, and in a few days it can stand tall in the sky."
Xiao Luoan said, "But for bamboo to be like this, it needs a spring rain to fully moisten it. I hope that I will be lucky enough to have such a sweet rain."
"The rain falls from the sky mainly because of the needs of the people. It also depends on the kindness of the people, and even more on the diligence of the people. Otherwise, the rain will be useless."
The emperor paused and spoke again, "Recently, some people in the Meiling area have privately occupied the top of the mountain and started mining privately. You should go and investigate and see what the problem is."
"If there is anything wrong, report it directly to me." The emperor added.
This is to see if his ability is worth using.
Xiao Luoan immediately kowtowed and thanked him, "Thank you very much, father. I will do my best not to disappoint my father."
"Although Meiling is not far from the capital, the mountains are high and the roads are dense and the roads are difficult to navigate. Please be more careful." The emperor said, "I will send someone to you. The rest is up to you."
"Yes, please keep this in mind." Xiao Luoan responded again.
Things were settled, so the rest of the meal was naturally eaten faster.
After lunch, the emperor took a nap as usual, but Xiao Luoan didn't stay too long and got up to leave.
Just after dinner, the emperor sat for a while, opened a book and drank a cup of tea.
Ding Dahai carefully made the bed while chatting with the emperor, "The third prince seems to have grown up a lot."
"Yes, this year is already sixteen, and he is indeed quite young." The emperor put down the book in his hand and sighed, "It's because I don't pay much attention to him on weekdays. I always feel that he is still a little child, and he spends all day long He only knows how to pester his mother and concubine..."
When he mentioned the word "mother and concubine", the emperor suddenly stopped talking.
There are not many concubines in his harem. In addition to the queen, there are now two concubines, and there are a few others such as Jieyu and Cairen, but the ones he gave birth to are all princesses, and they are not enough to be named concubines.
Xiao Luoan's mother was just a palace maid at first. Because of her outstanding appearance, gentleness and virtuousness, she was attracted by him, and then gave birth to Xiao Luoan and the princess, who was made a concubine by him.
It's a pity that the beautiful girl had a bad life, and that gentle and considerate person left him early.
He originally wanted to take more care of Xiao Luoan because of her, but at that time, he was more concerned about the expansion of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
All affairs of the harem were left to the Queen and Concubine Shu.
The queen is virtuous, and this concubine...
Xiao Luoan suffered a lot in the palace.
"I am not a good father..." The emperor suddenly sighed.
"Your Majesty, you can't say that." Ding Dahai comforted, "When you are alive, you have many worries. Your Majesty is the emperor of the world. He is thinking about the world every day. He can't even take care of himself. How can he take care of himself? Should I go to the side? ”
"Everyone in the world says that jade cannot be made into a weapon if it is not cut into pieces. What the third prince has endured is God's tempering for him. He will probably be a good talent who can serve the country loyally in the future."
The emperor knew that these were words of relief, but he did have a lot of helplessness, and many times, he had to give up something.
He was born in a poor family, and now he is able to sit in this position. The hardships he has gone through during this period are very difficult for others to understand, let alone explain to outsiders. If Xiao Luoan is useless, he will just become a wealthy prince in the future.
If Xiao Luoan can be of great use, he will have to re-plan many things.
The emperor thought for a while and asked, "Honghui's new book hasn't been delivered yet?"
"One was just delivered ten days ago. I have to wait a few more days for a new one." Ding Dahai answered.
"Oh, if you count the days, it will be like this." The emperor smiled, "This kid Honghui is really reassuring."
"The emperor taught me well." Ding Dahai flattered him calmly.
The smile on the emperor's face became even stronger, and his face was filled with pride, "This child is also promising."
He also taught the eldest prince and the second prince, but regardless of their abilities, these two were actually taught by their respective mothers and concubines to have their own thoughts.
Many times, he wanted to get close, but he also had many worries.
It would be better to get along with Hongxin and Honghui more easily.
This is the imperial home...
The emperor sighed, stood up, and walked to the bed.
——
Xia Yunji has been fully fed by Xia Mingyue during these two days.
Crispy roasted chicken at noon, spicy skewers at night, fragrant pan-fried buns and tofu puffs early the next morning, and at noon, braised elbows with ham...
Xia Yunji ate very happily, and his daily burps almost never stopped.
But he ate what he ate, and he didn't forget to share some of his daily food, especially for Wu Jin.
Wu Jin was dismissive at first, but in the end he was short-tongued and gradually gave Xia Yunji some good looks.
Not only was he willing to play with Xia Yunji with sandbags and go for a walk, he would also wag his tail and rub his head when he saw Xia Yunji.
After all, if you choose a general among lame people, this small conspicuous bag that knows how to reserve meals for it is still better than the big conspicuous bag that tries to eat up all the food.
It doesn't mind a little expression of its affection.
As for Wu Jin's change of attitude, Xia Yunji was so happy that he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. Apart from talking and chatting with Xia Mingyue, his biological sister, he spent all day playing around with Wu Jin.
Xia Yunji started fighting in the battlefield at a young age. After working hard all day, now she can finally be happy and relax. At the same time, she can spend more time with Wu Jin, who is usually busy. Xia Mingyue is also happy to see this situation, and just calls Xia Yunji Take Ugin around the streets to see if there is anything you can buy for Ugin to play with.
Xia Yunji was in a hurry when he came back this time and didn't bring anything for Xia Mingyue. He wanted to take this opportunity to go to the street to see if there was anything suitable to buy for her, so he took his own money bag and asked Wu Jin to go out.
Wu Jin was happy to go out for a walk to burn off his energy, so he followed with his tail wagging.
After leaving the door, walking along the alley, and walking all the way to the street, Xia Yunji stopped, took a rough look at the terrain in front of him and the direction of the street, and decided a simple walking route for himself.
First, go all the way west from your feet. When you are done shopping, follow the north alley to another street, and then all the way east...
Just as Xia Yunji was calculating with great interest, he saw a figure from a distance.
Fan Jinglan.
