Chu Xiong was amazed: "Your Highness, at that time I blamed Miss Lu for giving you a stone. Now it seems that I was shortsighted."

Ye Feng laughed out loud.

The tension and oppression brought by the assassin just now were swept away.

"You don't understand. I am the only one who knows the value of these stones." He was very proud.

Thinking of something, he walked to the bookshelf nearby, picked up another stone as big as a cuju, and said, "I'll send one to Grandpa Huang."

Rong Zhixing suggested: "Your Highness, why don't you cut open this stone and see what it is. If it is beautiful, you can give it to Your Majesty later."

"Well, that's fine. I was just impatient." Ye Feng handed the stone to Chu Xiong, "Come on, split it."

Chu Xiong took the stone, his hands trembling: "Your Highness, if this is also a piece of jade, I might destroy it if I chop it. It is better to let the jade craftsman come."

Ye Feng thought about it and it was right. So he gave another order: "Find a jade craftsman with superb craftsmanship."

The Imperial Household Department employed many skilled craftsmen, and soon a jade craftsman arrived with his tools.

It was the first time that the craftsman displayed his skills in front of the Crown Prince. After paying his respects, the craftsman was so nervous and trembling that he couldn't even speak clearly.

"You have no need to be afraid. Here is a stone, perhaps jade. Can you split the stone open without damaging the jade?"

The craftsman looked at the inconspicuous stone, picked it up with both hands, looked left and right, and felt a little uneasy: "This... is this a raw stone?"

But it doesn't look like it.

"What is the problem?"

"Forgive my poor eyesight. I can't see anything at the moment. I'll know after I cut it open." He thought for a moment, took out a piece of sandpaper, and began to polish the surface of the stone.

Rong Zhixing understood that the craftsman used the most conservative method, but also the safest method to cut the stone.

As time goes by, the stone layer on the surface of the stone peels off bit by bit, gradually revealing a little bit of crystal inside.

The craftsman's heart began to beat fast.

Unexpectedly, there is really something inside this stone.

He became more cautious in his movements.

After another quarter of an hour, the bright spot became larger and larger, emitting a soft purple color.

"This is... a piece of purple jade." Rong Zhixing was excited, "'Yellow, silver and purple jade, the king does not hide gold and jade, so the yellow, silver and purple jade shines in the deep mountains.' Your Highness, this is a rare auspicious item."

After the craftsman peeled out all the purple jade from the stone, he respectfully presented the jade to Ye Feng with both hands.

Ye Feng took the purple jade handed to him and looked at it carefully.

This piece of jade is larger than an adult's fist. It feels warm to the touch, purple and crystal clear, noble and mysterious. This piece of jade is not only of excellent quality, but also full of spiritual energy.

Feeling the strands of spiritual energy rushing into his body, Ye Feng smiled happily: "Let's go and give the jade to Grandpa Huang. Grandpa Huang will definitely be very happy."

…………

Emperor Zheng'an was indeed happy to see Zi Yu.

Over the past few days, a lot of manpower and resources have been spent to bring him back from the brink of death to a state of recovery of a little bit of life.

At this moment, he was lying on the bed, still weak and depressed. He knew how complicated the situation was recently and how busy Ye Feng was. Whenever he heard that the lights in the Prince's Mansion were often kept on all night, he would feel depressed and annoyed.

Ye Feng's health has just started to improve, so he must not get sick again.

Just as he was daydreaming, his most beloved grandson came and brought a gift.

"Is this purple jade?" Emperor Zheng'an opened his eyes wide, as if he saw wisps of faint purple light flowing out of the jade. He couldn't help but be amazed, "Such a large piece of purple jade is rare."

"Grandpa Emperor, purple jade is an auspicious object. Grandpa Emperor is blessed by heaven, and auspicious signs have descended from heaven, with purple air coming from the east. I believe that Grandpa Emperor will soon recover his dragon body and be full of energy again."

"Haha, kid, you look much sweeter when you come back after going out." The depression in Emperor Zheng'an's chest dissipated a lot, and he felt much more relaxed.

This purple jade is indeed rare. Qi State has little jade to begin with, and those few places that produce jade mostly produce white jade and jadeite.

It is really a delight that I got such a large piece of purple jade today.

I think that, as Ye Feng said, my health will gradually get better and my luck will eventually turn around.

Eunuch Zheng glanced at Emperor Zheng'an and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you don't know that Lingxia Village in Xilin County is a place of great natural beauty. Not to mention the fruits and vegetables grown there, even the water is sweet. Your Highness has lived and eaten there for nearly half a year. Hasn't your mouth become sweeter?"

Is there any other explanation like this?

Emperor Zheng'an glanced at Eunuch Zheng and suddenly became interested in Lingxia Village.

"I almost forgot that you went to Lingxia Village to announce the imperial edict." Emperor Zheng'an looked thoughtful. "Tell me, what is Lingxia Village like?"

Ye Feng glanced at Eunuch Zheng with a faint smile, with a hint of approval and encouragement in his eyes.

Eunuch Zheng felt relieved and even straightened his back unconsciously.

Look, even His Highness thinks so.

"Your Majesty, I have never seen the village in person, so I don't know what it was like in the past. However, I heard that the village was remote and poor, and the people there must have been crude and ignorant. But seeing is believing, hearing is not. When I arrived at the village and met Miss Lu, I realized that the rumors were not to be believed."

"Oh?" Emperor Zheng'an raised his eyelids, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes, "Why is it unbelievable?"

"Let's talk about the Lu family first. Except for the five-year-old child, the whole family is literate and polite. The Lu family has a clean family tradition, is frugal, and is united and harmonious. Even her maids are no worse than some ladies from wealthy families. Of course, the most outstanding one is Miss Lu. Although she is not yet of marriageable age, she is outstanding in appearance and knowledge. Not only is she an excellent doctor, but she is also an excellent cook. Nothing that passes through her hands will not make money. In my opinion, the Lu family is not just raising a girl, they are raising a little god of wealth."

Emperor Zheng'an's heart moved, and he turned his gaze to Ye Feng: "She can also make money?"

Ye Feng nodded: "Yes. She has a keen eye and a lot of good ideas in her head. She is currently building a mountain villa with an orchard. In addition, my grandson heard that two handicraft workshops have already started and will be put into use after the New Year. One makes pickles and the other makes skin care products. She is also planning to build a medicinal field and a breeding farm."

Emperor Zheng'an was shocked: "She has expanded her business to such a large scale? Can we manage it?"

"Grandpa Emperor, she is surrounded by a group of people, many of whom are capable and listen to her very much. She is also smart, and she leaves many things to trustworthy people. She just has to use her brain and open her mouth, and there are many people running errands for her." Ye Feng couldn't help laughing when he thought of Lu Kun, the three heroes of Jinji Town, Shi Chenxing's brother and sister, and of course Dong Ling and the others.
