Chapter 144: Return to Beijing

Xiao Xi was taken aback and quickly shrank her hands.

She clutched her fingers and complained: “I feed you chestnuts, why do you still bite me?”

Luo Qingshan ignored her, threw the chestnut meat into his mouth, chewed it three or two times and swallowed it into his stomach.

He continued to read his book as if nothing had happened just now.

Xiao Xixi looked down at her fingertips. The place where she had been bitten just now was a little red, but the pain didn’t hurt much, it just felt weird.

The next day, the prince got on the carriage and slowly left Gangu County under the escort of the Yulin Army.

Prince Shaofu and Prince Shaobao were left in the Gansu County government, and they had to wait for the new county magistrate and county cheng to come before they could get out and leave.

When the people learned that the prince was leaving, they spontaneously followed the team and reluctantly sent them out of the city gate.

It wasn’t until they were sent out for more than ten miles that the people stopped and watched the prince’s car drive away.

After Xiao Xi got in the car, she consciously found a comfortable position to lie down and quickly entered sleep mode.

Luo Qinghan read quietly.

Everything is no different from when it came.

The news of the prince’s request for rain for the four southern counties spread like wildfire, but wherever the prince’s car passed by, many people bowed down and thanked him along the way.

These people don’t understand the truth, they only know that it was His Royal Highness the Prince who asked for Gan Lin for them.

This is a great kindness!

The deterrence of the kingship, coupled with the catalysis of kindness, made the people’s worship of His Royal Highness reach its peak, but in just a few days, the prince’s reputation in the south suddenly soared to an incredible point.

People in many places also spontaneously pooled money to build temples for the prince, burning incense and praying for the prince every day, hoping that the prince will live a long life and be a hundred years old, so that he can bring more blessings to the people of the world in the future.

Stopping along the way, countless legends about the prince have been left for all over the world.

After word of mouth, in the eyes of many people, His Royal Highness the Prince has become a mythical existence.

By the time the prince and his party returned to Shengjing, it was already two months later.

The news about the success of the prince’s request for rain has spread to Shengjing through merchants, and everyone is amazed. His Royal Highness is worthy of being the future emperor, and he begged for rain as soon as he made a move.

One word, cow!

Dasheng is open to the people, and it does not prohibit the people from talking about the royal family.

Some storytellers adapted the prince’s request for rain into a story and told it to everyone in the teahouse and restaurant. For a while, the prince became famous in Shengjing and attracted the admiration of countless people.

The prince’s car drove slowly along Suzaku Street.

Suzaku Street had already been cleaned up by the Yulin Army, and the idlers did not dare to approach.

Only the prince Taishi and a few officials came forward and bowed down to pick up the driver.

The prince got out of the car in person and helped the prince Taishi up.

The prince Taishi is now sixty years old, his hair and beard are all white, and his appearance is very thin. Just standing, he has to be supported.

He looked at His Royal Highness, who was standing in front of him, in a very complicated mood.

Originally, like everyone else, he was dismissive of begging for rain.

He also tried his best to dissuade the prince from going south for rain.

Facing the prince’s stubborn opinions, he was very disappointed in his heart, thinking that the prince would not listen to the advice and would not be able to become a wise ruler in the future.

When the prince left the palace, he didn’t even come to give it away.

But the result was,

The prince not only asked for rainwater to solve the drought in the south, but also reorganized Gangu County, winning the gratitude and admiration of the people.
