Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

"No!" The Fourth Prince subconsciously objected loudly.

The emperor's face was gloomy: Is the fourth son not very smart? I overestimated him!

The method of raising silkworms and weaving cloth was given by Xiao Chenyi, and he asked Lao Si to implement it in order to give Lao Si a chance. He also wanted to keep him from being targeted by Xiao Chenyi and fulfill the bet of leaving the capital.

But this brat is really disappointing!

After so many days and so many attempts, there is still no improvement.

Things started out in a high-profile manner, and the entire court was watching. How could it continue like this?

He asked Xiao Chenyi to go along, of course, for the good of the fourth brother.

If it was successfully completed, it was all thanks to Lao Si. If it still couldn't be completed, it was because there was something wrong with the method Xiao Chenyi provided before.

It's a pity that the fourth brother is a pig-brained guy and doesn't appreciate it.

Xiao Chenyi lowered his eyes and said nothing.

It would be best if the fourth one refused!

If the fourth brother doesn't refuse, he will find a reason to turn it down.

When he wrote it before, he was careful and hid a few key steps.

If the emperor handed this matter over to him to implement, it would naturally be resolved satisfactorily.

If the emperor still doesn't want to use him, then no one else can succeed!

Sure enough, he was right to be cautious.

It was clearly he who gave the detailed steps, but the emperor immediately gave such an important task to the fourth son.

Unfortunately, they underestimated him! How could he, Xiao Chenyi, let the fourth brother take the credit?

Of course, after Uncle Pu Yong's analysis, he could understand the emperor's awkwardness.

How could the emperor reuse a son who was suspected not to be his biological son?

For the sake of the royal family's reputation, the emperor could only endure it.

The only way to vent is to be ignored, driven out of the capital, and sent to a barren land to fend for oneself.

Unfortunately, Xiao Chenyi seemed to be assisted by God. After arriving in Shu, he completely changed Shu in just a few years.

Xiao Chenyi guessed that the emperor asked him to return to Beijing in order to interrupt the construction of his Shu area.

The emperor must be feeling aggrieved: I asked you to suffer, who asked you to achieve great things?

It doesn't matter if it's none of your business.

Anyway, Xiao Chenyi will not get involved in the matter of the fourth brother.

He lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the ground in front of him with boredom, and suddenly became a little curious about why there were ants.

That's quite a lot.

One, two, three...if you look closely, it's a long line!

Are the servants in the palace so careless when it comes to cleaning?

It would be very uncomfortable if tiny ants crawled onto people and bit them.

Xiao Chenyi followed the route the ants were taking, and found that the direction the ants were going was actually the emperor's seat - the dragon throne.

Xiao Chenyi looked at it curiously, muttering to himself.

Generally speaking, ants are very interested in foods such as sweets, proteins, and fats. For example, sugar, honey, dessert powder, fruits, etc. will attract ants.

Now they are all crawling towards the dragon throne. Is there food under the dragon throne that will attract them?

But, how is this possible?

No matter how negligent the palace servants were, it was impossible for them not to clean the dragon throne that the emperor had to use every day.

Xiao Chenyi estimated that the servants in the palace wiped the dragon throne at least ten times a day.

Of course, in addition to these foods, water sources can also attract ants to carry them. Ants also carry soil, grass, twigs, etc. to build and expand their nests.

In addition, ants will carry their dead companions out of the nest to keep the nest clean and hygienic.

Xiao Chenyi thought about it and couldn't understand why a colony of ants appeared in the court hall.

The only explanation is that the person who was working didn't do his job properly and left food residue around the throne. Or, someone hid near the throne and ate after someone else had cleaned it up.

But none of this has anything to do with him now.

It wasn't him who made the dragon throne.

No matter how many ants there are, it has nothing to do with him.

Xiao Chenyi turned his gaze away from the ant out of boredom.

"Fourth Brother, I will give you one more chance. If you can't weave silk cloth within a month, you must keep your promise, leave the capital, and never set foot in it again."

The emperor's cold voice rang out in the hall.

"I heard that it was the method proposed by the King of Chen. Could it be that the King of Chen's method is wrong?"

The person who spoke was Lord Wan, the Minister of Dali Temple, the grandfather of the fourth prince Xiao Hua.

The emperor looked at him with an unclear look in his eyes: "Master Wan, what do you mean?"

"I think that if the Prince of Chen is also unable to successfully make silk, the Fourth Prince is innocent and should not be punished. It is the Prince of Chen who should leave the capital."

Xiao Chenyi raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically:

“Sir Wan, you were not there at the time, so you may not know. I don’t mind talking to you about it.

After I wrote down that method, I told my father that I had seen it in an ancient book. Whether this method is correct remains to be verified.

Now that I have written it, I have no intention of keeping it to myself. My goal is to change the situation where silk is hard to buy in the country of Dali.

However, I originally wanted to verify it myself. It's just a book, I don't believe it completely. My plan is to experiment and adjust until I succeed.

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince took over this job and did not allow me to participate.

There is no other way, I can only trouble the Fourth Prince."

After Xiao Chenyi finished speaking, he spread his hands and shrugged helplessly.

He learned this move from Yun Xi, and he found it very useful.

Every time I do this, I will be very happy and my opponent will be very angry.

Lord Wan paused, frowned and said, "Since you wrote it, you must know what is right and what is wrong. You should have reminded your fourth brother earlier. As brothers, are you so happy to see him suffer setbacks?"

"Lord Wan, you are too kind!" Xiao Chenyi was not willing to take the blame.

"What I wanted to tell my fourth brother was that he refused to accept my kindness. Lord Wang from the Ministry of Works can also testify to this."

"My dear Lord Wan, I can testify to this matter." The emperor spoke unhappily while sitting on the dragon throne.

It was not the place for outsiders to interfere in the conflict between his two sons.

Lord Wan saw that the emperor had spoken and could only bow before leaving. He did not forget to say something, "This old minister is also worried that the Fourth Prince is too naive and has been deceived without even realizing it."

The emperor's face couldn't help but darken.

This Lord Wan, relying on Concubine Wan's favor, is becoming more and more ignorant of his own limitations!

He arranged this matter, so it's up to him to finish it.

"Chen Yi, since you know the method, why don't you try it too?" The emperor said seriously, "Within a month, no matter who makes achievements, I will reward them."

"Father, I suspect that the prince is cheating! I request that someone be sent to follow and monitor the prince's work from the beginning." The fourth prince said unconvinced.

He strongly suspected that Xiao Chenyi was deliberately harming him!

He would send someone to keep an eye on Xiao Chenyi around the clock, in all directions, to prevent him from having any chance to mess around. !
