Transformed into a vicious concubine? Being led by the eldest sister is annoying

The breakfast is very exquisite, with steaming buns, soft and glutinous rice porridge, and fresh side dishes.

The emperor ate with gusto and praised Prince Chen for his thoughtful arrangements from time to time.

Prince Chen sat aside, watching his father eat with a smile, and couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, the room was filled with a warm atmosphere.

The Emperor and Prince Chen sat around the table with an exquisite breakfast in front of them.

The steaming buns emit an enticing aroma, the soft and glutinous rice porridge is slightly steaming in the porcelain bowl, and the fresh side dishes are brightly colored, which greatly increases one's appetite.

The emperor picked up a bun, took a bite, and nodded with satisfaction.

Prince Chen ate quietly, looking up at his father from time to time, his eyes full of respect.

They ate and chatted about some trivial matters, just like an ordinary father and son. The scene was beautiful and peaceful.

However, the warm moments between the father and son in heaven are always short-lived.

Soon, breakfast was over and the eunuchs quickly came forward to clear the table.

They moved skillfully and silently, and soon the room was tidy again.

Then, the father and son got up and went to the study.

In the study, the bookshelves are filled with books, and the four treasures of the study are placed on the desk.

The emperor sat on the armchair behind the desk, picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip.

The aroma of tea is everywhere, making people feel relaxed and happy.

King Chen stood aside and began to report on the situation in Guanzhou.

He gave a detailed account of Guanzhou's economic development, people's livelihood and recent affairs.

When it was mentioned that a new coal mine had been dug up, Emperor Xuanwu's eyes suddenly lit up and he burst into laughter.

"Old Fifth, your Guanzhou is really a treasure land. You can dig up anything here." The emperor's tone was full of surprise and admiration.

King Chen bowed his head slightly and said respectfully: "Father, this is all your gift. Even if it is a precious land, it was given to me by you."

These words made Emperor Xuanwu very happy, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

He looked at King Chen, his heart filled with emotion.

This son has always been very sensible, not greedy for power, and always thinking about the people.

Then, the emperor mentioned again the matter of letting King Chen succeed to the throne.

Upon hearing this, King Chen knelt down without hesitation and said in a firm tone: "Father, I just want to be an idle prince and protect the people of Fengyun Kingdom. I have no desire for the throne, please understand."

The emperor was just testing you, and he felt even happier when he heard this.

He nodded slightly, signaling King Chen to stand up.

"I know what you mean. When people get old, they hope that their descendants will live in harmony. I am very pleased that you have such thoughts."

King Dust stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

He really has no idea about the throne.

Otherwise, he couldn't think of pushing the Sixth Prince to the throne.

After chatting for a while, Emperor Xuanwu expressed his desire to go to the coal mine to take a look.

Naturally, there was no reason for King Chen to refuse.

When he went out, there were guards so thickly that not even a mosquito could fly in.

After Bai Qianqian woke up, she heard Qingyan's report and learned that the emperor had gone to the coal mine.

A faint smile appeared on her face and she nodded slightly.

Then she told Qingyan to bring in breakfast, while Qingqing skillfully helped her comb her hair and wash up.

After a while, breakfast was served.

Bai Qianqian sat at the table, looking at the exquisite food, but her mind was filled with wandering thoughts.

The three of them finished their breakfast in silence, and Bai Qianqian decided not to go out.

Now that the emperor has come, she really can't go out often, so as not to be impolite.

So she simply stayed in the house, picked up a book and read quietly.

At this time, at the coal mine, the emperor, surrounded by King Chen and many guards, was carefully observing the surrounding situation.

The workers were all covered in dust and dirt, but their eyes were surprisingly bright.

The emperor was curious and asked King Chen whether those who were digging coal were soldiers or civilians in the city.

King Chen replied respectfully: "Father, these are all common people. They get 100 coins for a day's work, so they are very motivated."

The emperor was stunned when he heard this number.

In his impression, the wages for ordinary people's work were rarely so high.

But he quickly reacted and praised King Chen's actions, "You have done a good job. You have not only provided income to the people, but also tapped into resources for the country."

After the emperor took a walk around the coal mine, he had a new idea in his mind.

He suddenly said, "I want to go see the soldiers' vegetable fields."

When King Chen heard this, he felt even happier.

He hoped that the emperor would go and see it and order soldiers from other places to do the same.

In this way, the national treasury can spend less money and reduce the burden on the country.

So he agreed without hesitation: "I obey your command. Your Majesty, please come this way."

The crowd marched towards the soldiers' vegetable fields.

When everyone came to the soldiers' vegetable fields, they saw a vibrant scene.

Green vegetables are arranged neatly, some are ripe and hanging heavily on the branches.

The soldiers took good care of the vegetable fields with proud smiles on their faces.

The emperor looked at this vibrant vegetable field with admiration in his eyes.

"I didn't expect the soldiers to be so hardworking," he sighed.

King Chen smiled and explained, "Father, letting the soldiers cultivate vegetable fields can, on the one hand, help them be self-sufficient and reduce military expenses; on the other hand, it can also train their will and patience."

The emperor nodded slightly, "This is a good strategy. It is beneficial to both the country and the soldiers."

He walked around the vegetable garden and carefully observed the growth of various vegetables.

He asked a few questions from time to time, and King Chen answered them one by one.

After visiting the vegetable fields, the emperor became more confident in the development of Guanzhou.

He said to King Chen: "Old Fifth, your governance in Guanzhou is exemplary. I want to promote your methods to other places and make the entire Fengyun Kingdom prosperous."

King Chen quickly said modestly: "Your Majesty, I am just doing my part. I would be honored if I could make a contribution to the country."

Afterwards, the Emperor and Prince Chen returned to the palace.

The emperor waved his hand and asked Prince Chen to call Bai Qianqian over.

Prince Chen took the order and went to call Bai Qianqian. Along the way, he secretly speculated on the emperor's intention, but he could not figure it out.

He quickened his pace and soon arrived where Bai Qianqian was.

When Bai Qianqian saw King Chen coming, she was confused and didn't understand why the emperor suddenly summoned her.

The two of them went to the emperor's room together, feeling a little nervous.

After entering the room, the emperor smiled and motioned for them to take a seat.

Bai Qianqian bowed respectfully and sat down carefully, her eyes full of confusion.

King Chen was also full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask questions rashly.

Afterwards, the emperor asked the eunuchs and palace maids to leave, leaving only Eunuch Li in the room.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became a little subtle.

The emperor looked at Prince Chen and Bai Qianqian kindly, and said slowly: "This time I came to Guanzhou mainly to relax."

Bai Qianqian was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that the emperor summoned her for this matter.

She nodded slightly to show that she understood.
