Shangguan Hao looked at the huge crowd heading towards the imperial mausoleum, and a sense of melancholy welled up in his heart.

[They seem to have forgotten me...]

The book boy beside him looked at his master and asked softly, "Master, should we return as well?"

Shangguan Hao was silent for a moment, then said: "Let's go, let's go to the outskirts of Beijing first."

He was thinking about the school that Xuanyuan Ruize mentioned, and he was eager to join it as soon as possible and serve the prince. After all, he felt that he had implicated the prince, and he could only make up for this guilt through practical actions.

At the same time, the eldest prince Xuanyuan Yihong had sent the little prince to the imperial mausoleum, but before he could sit down and rest for a while, he was urged to leave by Xuanyuan Ruize.

"Brother, you can go back now. I have arrived at my destination and there is nothing else important to deal with."

The eldest prince helplessly looked at Xuanyuan Ruize, who had an indifferent expression, and the guards who were coming and going to carry items, and wondered in his heart, could it be that the young prince plans to live in this imperial mausoleum permanently?

"Well, if you can feel at ease here, as your elder brother, I will also feel relieved."

After the eldest prince left, Xuanyuan Ruize finally completely liberated his nature.

"Xiao Dezi, quickly take out the hot pot base that I brought!" Xuanyuan Ruize said impatiently.

But Xiao Dezi was a little hesitant

"Your Highness, is it really okay for us to do this? If His Majesty finds out, he will punish you again."

"I'm not afraid of you, so why should you be afraid? Hurry up and take it out. I'm waiting for lunch." The little prince really doesn't care.

Xiao Dezi had no choice but to rummage through the boxes and drawers for a long time before taking out the hot pot base that Xiao Taizi had prepared from a box.

The little prince had already started ordering people to go to the kitchen to prepare food, and he was afraid that the people in the kitchen would not understand, so he followed in person.

"That's not right, cut the mutton thinner." Xuanyuan Ruize directed the people in the kitchen to work busy, and finally even grabbed the knife and did it himself.

"Master, what do you think the prince wants to do? He only lets us cut the vegetables. He doesn't allow us to cook them. The prince wouldn't like to eat raw food, would he?" a young kitchen helper asked his master, feeling a chill at the thought of the prince eating raw food.

"Shut up, His Royal Highness is not someone we can discuss. What? Don't you want to have your head anymore?" The chef quickly stopped the young apprentice from talking. He still has a wife and children to take care of! He can't die here.

"Master, I was wrong." The young disciple quickly admitted his mistake and dared not think about it anymore. He did not even dare to look at the prince.

At this time, the kitchen was filled with a tense atmosphere, and everyone carefully followed the instructions of the prince. They didn't know why the prince did this, but no one dared to question it.

Xuanyuan Ruize was concentrating on processing the ingredients, as if it was an important ceremony. His movements were skillful and confident, and each cut was extremely precise, as if he had unique insights and requirements for these foods.

As time went by, the kitchen counter was filled with various cut dishes, which were neatly arranged, waiting for the next instruction. The whole scene seemed particularly solemn, as if these ingredients were about to be given a special mission.

"Your Highness, the hot pot base is here."

Just after Xuanyuan Ruize and everyone in the kitchen prepared the dishes, Xiao Dezi also handed over the hot pot base that had been taken out long ago.

Then, Xuanyuan Ruize ordered the servants to add water and hot pot ingredients. Soon, the whole kitchen was filled with the rich aroma of hot pot. The little prince stood aside impatiently, happily serving the dishes and eating with gusto. After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he finally had a little

Feeling leisurely, he began to walk leisurely inside the imperial mausoleum.

Actually, he had been to the imperial mausoleum before, but each time he came in a hurry and left even more hurriedly, so he had no time to appreciate the scenery here.

Now, when he set foot on this land again, he was surprised to find that this place was so special.

Looking from a distance, the entire imperial mausoleum appears particularly majestic. The huge mound looks like a towering and majestic mountain, standing firmly on the earth.

Surrounded by tall ancient trees, it gives people a solemn, quiet and mysterious feeling. The extremely solid city walls and majestic gates are always showing the supreme majesty and noble status of the royal family, as if silently telling people about the glory and honor of the past.

Walking into the imperial mausoleum, you can see all kinds of exquisite stone carvings everywhere. Some of those lifelike auspicious beasts are holding their heads high and looking vigorous and energetic, while others are lying on the ground, quiet and peaceful. Their postures are different and vivid, fully demonstrating the ingenious skills of ancient craftsmen. The huge stone tablet is engraved with the great achievements of emperors of all dynasties. The words on it are vigorous and powerful, and even after a long time of baptism, they are still clearly legible.

"Your Highness, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Dezi asked curiously as he looked at Xuanyuan Ruize who was in a trance.

"I was wondering, such a large imperial mausoleum is a little empty, as if something is missing." At this time, the young prince decided that he wanted to do something.

"Your Highness, please don't do anything rash!" When Xiao Dezi heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say this, he felt that his life was in danger. The imperial mausoleum was not a place where one could do anything rash.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is always playing tricks on His Majesty's bottom line, which makes life really hard for these servants!

"Why would I do such a thing? It's just that the imperial mausoleum is so empty, and those flowers and plants seem a bit redundant."

Xuanyuan Ruize explained seriously.

The more Xiao Dezi listened, the more frightened he became. Didn’t the little prince want to pull out all the flowers and plants?

Xiao Dezi was right. The little prince, who was well fed and well-drinking, really did so.

Xuanyuan Ruize ordered the guards to remove some of the flowers and plants in the imperial mausoleum, and he wanted to dig a large pit in the open space. Although Xiao Dezi and others thought this was a ridiculous idea, no one dared to disobey the prince's order.

A few days later, a large pit appeared in the majestic imperial mausoleum. Xuanyuan Ruize stood beside it, excitedly planning his next move.

"Xiao Dezi, go call the people from the Ministry of Works over to me. I want to do something big here!" Xuanyuan Ruize said excitedly.

Xiao Dezi's eyes widened. "Your Highness, this is not appropriate, right? If His Majesty knew about this..."

"Don't worry, father won't blame me. Besides, this prince just wants to do something good for the country and the people." Xuanyuan Ruize waved his hand nonchalantly.

Soon, people from the Ministry of Industry arrived at the imperial mausoleum, and Xuanyuan Ruize personally explained to them the principles of the brick kiln. The noises of quarrels and arguments echoed in the imperial mausoleum, adding a sense of downtown to the originally solemn atmosphere.

People passing by stopped and looked around curiously. What had happened in this imperial tomb?
