In the book, the princess of the fallen country saved the country by eating melons

Mo Jinyi glanced at the so-called wise king's aide.

He looks a little familiar.

Just when I was about to ask Li Desheng to find out who this person was.

System: [Young Master, Xiaoba just checked the person. To be honest, this person is a bit unlucky. He was arrested only one month after arriving at Xian Mansion.]

Mo Sheng was intrigued by Xiao Ba's words.

Mo Jinyi also pricked up his ears silently, ready to listen to who this person was.

【Tell me about it】

System: [This man is called Yizhi, from Shuozhou. He was born at the age of 20, full of vigor and ambition. Although he is very talented, he wants to serve the court.

But he forgot that he was the son of a merchant. In an era that emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, the children of merchants were of low status no matter how talented they were.

He tried every possible way, but found no where to turn for money, wine or paving the way.

He was not successful as an official, but his influence on the literary world was enormous, and he later became famous.

The late emperor asked him to enter the palace as an attendant, specializing in writing poems for the favorite concubine at that time.

Mo Jinyi raised his eyebrows. He had some impression when he heard this.

He was an attendant to his ridiculous father, and this man's poems were indeed well-known.

When he first ascended the throne, he valued his talent and used him.

But this guy, not only does he offend people because of his outspokenness, but he is also often accused of drinking and causing trouble.

Seeing that this man knew nothing about state affairs, he demoted him and made him a minor official with no work to do.

I didn't expect to see him in Prince Xian's mansion.

Xiao Ba continued talking.

System: [Later, the poem written by this person offended the favorite concubine of the previous emperor, and he was demoted by the previous emperor. He felt that being a minor official had no future, so he resigned and began to practice Taoism.

But he was unwilling to give up and felt that he had to find a way to serve the court. After more than ten years of wasting time, his family fell into decline.

When he was struggling to make ends meet, he married into the Linzhou governor's mansion and became a minor official.

Mo Sheng yawned nonchalantly.

[Merchants are inferior to scholars. This is true in every dynasty. But if it were me, I would still choose to be rich. I personally prefer money.]

Xiao Ba ignored Mo Sheng and continued speaking.

System: [After becoming an official, he offended his superiors because of drinking and making mistakes, and was impeached again. He was demoted by your father, and he resigned again.

I went to practice Taoism again, wasting half my life until now. 】

Mo Sheng was stunned.

[This person is really persistent. He perfectly illustrates what life is all about.]

System: [The wise king visited him three times to trick him into coming out of retirement to serve as his aide. He told his wife that the wise king valued him very much and that he should come out of retirement to help him. After he came, he was arrested again within less than a month. But he has many friends, so someone should be able to rescue him.]

After listening to it, Mo Sheng was amazed.

[This man is a prodigal son. In fact, he is only suitable to be a leader in the literary world, not to enter the court.

He didn't even know the current situation in the court and had no political acumen, yet he dared to come out and serve as the wise king's aide.

I don't know if this person is blindly confident or just bold, so it's understandable that he went in. 】

Mo Jinyi chuckled.

There are actually many people like this one in the court.

He claims to have unappreciated talent.

But I can't see my own strength clearly.

Mo Jinyi ignored him and carried Mo Sheng back to the palace.

The news of the virtuous king's rebellion soon spread throughout the capital, causing an uproar throughout the city.

This matter has been discussed recently.

Five days later.

When the prince returned to the capital exhausted, before he even entered the city, he had already heard that the virtuous king had been arrested for rebellion.

Not sure why.

Did the emperor act so quickly? He hadn't even handed over the evidence yet, but the virtuous king had already been arrested?

His carriage arrived at the palace gate.

When he lifted the curtain, he saw the royal relatives waiting to greet him at the palace gate.

I felt mixed emotions and my nose felt sore.

He had only been away for a month, but it seemed like he hadn't seen his family for a long time.

The prince got off the carriage, smiled and walked forward to salute Mo Jinyi and the queen.

"Father, Mother, I have returned safely."

Mo Jinyi held Mo Sheng in his arms and walked forward, patting the prince's shoulder, smiling kindly in a rare manner.

"It's good to come back safely."

Mo Jinyi said happily to General Yan again.

"General Yan, you have worked hard this time. Your reward has arrived at your house. As for these soldiers, I have already rewarded them according to your report."

General Yan saluted with his fists clasped.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. It is my duty as a minister to be loyal to Your Majesty."

The other deputy generals who followed behind also saluted with fists.

Mo Jinyi motioned for them to stand up and continued.

"You are tired these days, so please go back and rest. We will report the matter tomorrow."

Yan Zhuo nodded and retreated with several deputy generals.

Go back and have a rest.

The queen also stepped forward and looked at the prince carefully. Seeing that he was really not injured, she spoke gently.

"I'm glad you're back safely, my son. Let's go, your father has already prepared a welcoming banquet for you, go back and wash up and then go to the banquet."

[Brother Crown Prince, welcome home safely. Did you have fun? After going out for experience, you have matured a lot.]

Mo Sheng looked at the prince who had become much more mature after being out for more than a month, and greeted him.

The prince twitched his lips.

Imperial sister, I told you we are not going out to play.

Besides, I'm not mature. I obviously have dark circles under my eyes caused by traveling too fast.

"Royal sister, the crown prince has brought you gifts. I will send someone to deliver them to your palace later."

The prince walked behind Mo Jinyi and spoke gently to Mo Sheng.

[Wow, thank you, Crown Prince. When I return to Huaqing Palace, I must take a good look at what the Crown Prince gave me.]

Mo Sheng walked in Mo Jinyi's arms and moved towards the prince, motioning the prince to put his face closer to her.

The prince didn't understand, but he moved closer anyway.

She kissed the prince on the face.

[Thank you, my brother the Crown Prince. Hehe, I can’t give you a gift right now, so I’ll just give you a sticker to express my gratitude.]

The prince was a little stunned, then he reacted, pursed his lips and blushed.

The people behind laughed softly upon seeing this.

Mo Jinyi also smiled.

Holding Mo Sheng, he walked towards the palace.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. There is a gentle breeze on the night of early October, which has taken away the summer heat and brought a slight coolness.

The Linde Hall is a lively place tonight.

Since it was a family dinner, Mo Jinyi and the Queen didn't follow the rules too strictly for the little ones.

"Brother Crown Prince, you are amazing. You have accomplished something on your first trip."

The third prince symbolically held a wine glass and ran to sit next to the crown prince.

He said to the prince with admiration.

"No, it was General Yan who made the effort. If it weren't for General Yan's proper command, how could this matter have gone so smoothly? I am just a military supervisor who went there to learn."

The prince took off his armor and returned to his usual attire as a prince. He smiled gently and shook his head as he spoke.
