"Prince Chen, what do you think?" The emperor sat on the dragon throne like an iron tower, looking directly at Prince Chen with a majestic gaze.

"Sure." Xiao Chenyi knew that the one who wanted people to stare at him the most should be the emperor. At this moment, he was smart and naturally agreed.

People can follow him.

However, when he arrived at his territory, what he should do was no longer decided by the emperor.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

He didn't want his son to get out of control.

This Xiao Chenyi was fine when he was the prince. He was very well behaved and never did anything out of line.

But later he was banished to Shu. People thought he would be depressed for a long time, but he changed his ways every day and wandered around the wilderness. He turned Shu, where people had trouble getting food, into one of the most economically developed regions in the country.

From time to time, there were people impeaching Xiao Chenyi in the court, and some were praising him. The impeachment accused Xiao Chenyi of acting on his own and not consulting the emperor first. This trend should not be allowed to continue.

They praised Xiao Chenyi for his outstanding abilities, saying that no matter how poor a place was, it could become rich under his guidance.

The emperor had mixed feelings about Xiao Chenyi's political achievements.

Xiao Chenyi, you should just stay in Shu. Isn't it good to live your life peacefully? Why do you have to be so high-profile?

Since you are so high-profile, I have to take action.

After thinking about it, I think it’s safer to keep an eye on it right under my nose!

"But, I have a request." After everyone stopped talking, Xiao Chenyi bowed and looked at the emperor neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Speak." The emperor frowned unhappily.

If there was no accurate evidence to prove that you are not my biological son, I would have detained you long ago. You still dare to make demands? You don't even consider your true identity.

"Your Majesty can send someone to follow the whole process, but that person cannot leave before the silk is finally made." Xiao Chenyi looked at the emperor, his dislike in his eyes not concealed at all.

"This technology is too important. I don't want anyone outside of the Dali Kingdom to learn it."

"Okay!" No matter how suspicious the emperor was of Xiao Chenyi, he still had a clear mind when it came to major issues.

"No! Your son won't allow it!" The fourth prince Xiao Hua jumped out again.

He asked someone to follow Xiao Chenyi, and of course, to pass on to him everything Xiao Chenyi did. Then he could follow Xiao Chenyi's method, copy it, and then surpass it, and deliver the finished product to the emperor before Xiao Chenyi.

The great hero who made silk weaving possible must be Xiao Hua!

Lord Wan quickly understood his grandson's idea and stepped forward with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is right. These are all things that benefit the country, and there is no need for the Prince of Chen to hide them. Besides, the Fourth Prince is different from the Prince of Chen. The Fourth Prince was born and raised in the capital and knows a lot of people. If he promotes it, he will definitely be able to sell the silk as soon as possible. This will definitely be good for our treasury."

What he didn't say was: Xiao Chenyi is a beggar, and all the people he knows are beggars. How can a beggar afford silk?

Xiao Chenyi looked at him and smiled sarcastically: "Master Wan is so obsessed with silk, isn't it possible that Master Wan will also participate?"

The reason why my fourth brother is so arrogant is not only because Concubine Wan is favored, but also because of the indulgence of Lord Wan.

Then let them, uncle and nephew, compete with each other and try to outdo each other.

Lord Wan's eyes lit up: "Can I also participate?"

To be honest, he was very much looking forward to learning how to make silk.

"Lord Wan, please go back and get punished, and then follow me." Xiao Chenyi didn't want to waste time.

"What to do?" The Fourth Prince was a little flustered.

If grandpa followed Xiao Chenyi, wouldn't it be more inconvenient for him to do something? Usually, it was his grandfather who helped him. Now that his grandfather was gone, what would he do?

No one helped him, no one taught him!

The fourth prince couldn't help but have red eyes.
