The princess is very versatile, leaving the prince to become the richest

“Uncle, I am a descendant of the royal family.

On weekdays, he enjoyed a lot of love from the people.

If I don't stand up for them when they are in trouble, then what is the point of them worshipping me as a prince?

And uncle, you have to understand that I am the fifth prince first, and then the son of my mother, and the grandson of the Zheng family.

I can live for myself, or exist for the people, but I will never exist to be a pawn in your hands.

So whether I live or die has nothing to do with you!"

Xiao Jingyi's words were filled with righteous indignation. It could be said that he vented all the resentment in his heart over the years at once.

He was actually very happy that he could get the recognition from his father today.

Finally, I can be like my third brother.

Do your part for the royal family and the people.

However, the words his uncle just said immediately extinguished his inner excitement.

Over the years, although he is the queen's legitimate son, he is also the emperor's only legitimate son.

But what he heard most from his father was that he was not as good as his third brother, that he could not compare to his third brother, and that his third brother was so smart.

His mother was the same, always saying that she was no match for the virtuous concubine, and her son was no match for the virtuous concubine's son.

So, he was depressed inside.

In the past, he kept himself sober and pretended to be indifferent.

But he was too tired to pretend anymore.

So Zheng Heng's words gave him this opportunity.

After Xiao Jingyi vented his anger, he thought about the fact that the other person was his elder, and felt a little apologetic.

"I'm sorry, uncle. I didn't sleep well last night and my emotions got a little out of control."

Xiao Jingyi, who was polite, first apologized to his uncle who was a little confused by his yelling.

Then he bowed to his grandfather and uncle and took his leave.

"Grandpa, uncle, the situation is urgent. I have to go back and prepare things first."

His grandfather, Grand Tutor Zheng, waved his hand at him and spoke indifferently.

"Well, the Fifth Prince goes first."

After getting his consent, Xiao Jingyi bowed and left.

Grand Tutor Zheng and his son Junior Tutor Zheng stood there, watching Xiao Jingyi's back getting farther and farther away.

Until Xiao Jingyi disappeared from view, Master Zheng looked at his father.

"Father, what the Fifth Prince just said is full of resentment towards us.

You said how much we have sacrificed for him and my little sister, but he just pretended not to see it.

He also said that he was a prince first and then the grandson of the Zheng family.

Listen to what he said, how heartless he is.

He doesn't even look at who His Majesty likes the most. If it weren't for us, he, the legitimate son of the emperor, would have died long ago."

Only after Master Zheng heard what his son said did he withdraw his gaze from the distance.

"Humph, as an uncle, why are you arguing with a child?

He is young and frivolous at this age. Once he hits a few walls, he will know to turn back.

If you are not cruel, you cannot be a real emperor. If you want to become an emperor, you must first cut off all emotions and love.

Even if he is not close to us, he is still a relative of the same bloodline as us.

Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore.

Although the situation is dangerous this time, it can still be an opportunity if we do it well.

When we get back later, select some people with high martial arts skills and who can swim and send them to the Fifth Prince.

Also, you should inform the Ministry of Revenue later. The food and silver supply to Jiangnan must not be cut off.

If the imperial court can't afford it, we can spend our own money and make this thing look good."

After Grand Tutor Zheng finished speaking, Junior Tutor Zheng said he understood.

“Yes, my son will do it after returning home.

Father, let’s go back first!”

Master Zheng said nothing, but nodded gently to show his agreement.

Afterwards, Zheng Heng supported his father, Grand Tutor Zheng, and walked towards the palace gate.

Xiao Jingyi returned to his own residence.

First he packed some clothes for himself, and then asked the housekeeper to prepare food and fodder for him.

The whole process took less than half an hour, and because he was going to report the news first, he wanted to travel light.

He packed his things and went to the palace gate to meet the people arranged for him by the emperor.

Coincidentally, the eunuch Wang, a popular figure among the emperor, was also there.

He looked at Xiao Jingyi and behind Xiao Jingyi. There were only him and his substitute guard De Shuang, and each of them only had a package on their back.

"Fifth Prince, you are here so quickly.

Here, this is the imperial edict that the emperor asked me to give you, please keep it.”

Xiao Jingyi stood up and dismounted, respectfully taking the imperial edict from Eunuch Wang with both hands.

"Thank you, Eunuch Wang, for taking the trouble to make this trip.

Don't you know if the emperor has any other instructions?"

Xiao Jingyi can actually be considered a good child who is polite and well-mannered.

The mistake was that he was the Empress's son, but not the most favored son.

Seeing that Xiao Jingyi was so respectful to him, Eunuch Wang smiled and said to Xiao Jingyi.

"Your Highness, His Majesty said that this is a dangerous situation. I hope Your Highness can protect yourself and stay safe."

It turns out that my father also cares about me!

After hearing what Eunuch Wang said, Xiao Jingyi felt extremely happy, and even the unhappiness that his uncle brought to him was offset.

"Eunuch Wang, go back and tell my father to rest assured.

I will definitely complete the task and will not bring shame to the royal family or discredit the royal family.

Time is urgent, I will leave first, goodbye, Eunuch Wang."

After Xiao Jingyi finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Eunuch Wang to answer him.

Come to the horse and quickly jump on it.

He shouted to the guard in front of him.

“Brothers, Jiangnan is in trouble, and it’s time to demonstrate our value.

Good men of Qi, follow me!!!"

Xiao Jingyi's words were short, only two sentences.

But I don't know why, it's very confusing.

The guards assigned to him by the emperor were also excited by his words.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Afterwards, this group of guards also mounted their horses, closely following Xiao Jingyu in front of them out of the city, and together they set out on a journey to rescue the people of Jiangnan.

"Ugh!"

Looking at Xiao Jingyi disappearing into the distance, Eunuch Wang sighed.

The young eunuch beside him seemed to be new, very simple and ignorant.

"Master, why are you sighing?"

In response to his young disciple's doubts, Eunuch Wang simply shook his head.

"Nothing, we should go back and report to His Majesty."

The sigh of Eunuch Wang was actually a lament for Xiao Jingyi's bad luck.

Although he is a good boy, he has so many good ones before him.

The third prince was better and more outstanding than him, and therefore was more favored by the emperor.

Just like Xiao Jingyi asked himself, whether His Majesty had anything to say, what he had just said was actually made up.

His Majesty only asked him to hand over the imperial edict to the fifth prince, and did not say those words.

But just now, when he saw Xiao Jingyi's eyes full of hope, he couldn't bear to tell him that His Majesty had not said anything.
