Chapter 252: Peace and Prosperity in Xia Country
Shadow looked embarrassed and replied with some guilt, "Your Highness, I was worried about exposing my whereabouts, so I didn't dare to follow too closely.
We only saw Miss Mei'er following His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Nanhu County, but then she suddenly disappeared.
"According to my subordinates' speculation, it's very likely that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliberately hid it away." After saying this, a trace of regret appeared on Shadow's face.
Zhao Haoyang hesitated for a moment and then said slowly, "It's okay. This matter is not easy to begin with. You have done your best to find out this.
Next, you will continue to closely monitor Prince Yu's every move. If you discover any abnormality or disturbance, you must report it to me immediately!"
"At the same time, pay attention to safety and remember not to be careless." Zhao Haoyang emphasized.
"Yes, sir. Thank you, Your Highness." Shadow saluted with his fists, then turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing.
After the shadow left quietly, Zhao Haoyang could no longer suppress his inner joy and laughed out loud with his head raised.
The laughter echoed in the empty and silent lobby, as if releasing all the long-pent-up emotions.
Zhao Haoyang's eyes sparkled as he murmured softly, "Royal brother, Xuan'er really has the same charm and spirit as you did back then! Back then, you were so handsome and ambitious, but it's a pity..."
At this point, Zhao Haoyang couldn't help but pause slightly, and a trace of regret flashed across his face.
But he quickly regained his resolute expression and continued softly:
"But it doesn't matter. Xuan'er has grown up now. He is extremely talented, wise and brave. I believe that he will be able to fulfill your unfulfilled wish!"
After saying that, Zhao Haoyang clenched his fist vigorously, as if he was making a solemn promise:
"Brother Emperor, please rest assured. Even if I have to sacrifice my own life, I will definitely protect Xuan'er and at the same time, ensure the peace and prosperity of the Xia Kingdom!"
On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. Wang Xinyao stood leisurely in the manor, gazing gently at the rice fields that were growing well in front of her.
The golden rice ears hung heavily, as if telling people the joy of the harvest.
A breeze blew, and the rich fragrance of rice filled the air, making people feel relaxed and happy. A happy smile involuntarily appeared on Wang Xinyao's face.
Just as she was deeply immersed in the beautiful pastoral scenery and the intoxicating fragrance of rice, suddenly, a clear and pleasant shouting voice came into her ears.
"Sister Xinyao!"
"Sister Wang!"
These two voices sounded so familiar and kind.
Wang Xinyao's heart moved, and she quickly turned her head and took a closer look. Sure enough, the people who came were her good friends Zhao Yue'er and Ouyang Ping.
They were walking side by side, walking towards him quickly with smiles on their faces.
Seeing her two good friends coming, Wang Xinyao was overjoyed and immediately walked forward with brisk steps.
She reached out and took their hands, saying coquettishly:
"Sister, sister, how did you find yourself here so suddenly? And what a coincidence that you came to visit me together today."
Zhao Yue'er's big watery eyes were sparkling with excitement at this moment, as bright and moving as the stars in the night sky.
She replied with a smile, "Of course. Ever since we heard that you came to the capital, we have been thinking about you day and night, so we hurried here to visit you."
Ouyang Ping on the side also nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.
Then, the three of them strolled slowly along the edge of the rice field, chatting and laughing.
As she walked, Zhao Yue'er suddenly stopped and looked at the lush rice fields with curiosity.
He asked, "Sister Xinyao, please tell us why your rice grows so well and thrives? Do you have any unique secrets for growing it?"
Wang Xinyao raised her head slightly, with an extremely proud smile on her face. She said proudly:
"Of course I did. I grew up in the countryside! There's nothing I'm not familiar with, from flowers and trees to birds and animals. I know so much more about the world than you do!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yue'er and Ouyang Ping, who were standing aside, couldn't help but look at each other, both of them with envy in their eyes.
At this time, Ouyang Ping came forward with a sweet smile, took Wang Xinyao's hand and shook it gently, saying coquettishly:
"Sister, I have good news for you. I'm getting married in a month! You must come when the time comes!"
Wang Xinyao was stunned when she heard this, but then she reacted and quickly responded with a smile:
"Of course, as a sister, I can't be absent from such a happy occasion for my sister. Don't worry, I will be there on time to give my sister my most sincere blessings!"
As she spoke, she did not forget to bow and congratulate Ouyang Ping: "Congratulations, sister, on finding your ideal husband. May you and Lord Luo Qing live happily ever after!"
Royal study room!
After a moment's contemplation, Zhao Guoan whispered to Eunuch Xu, "Pass on my decree; have the Empress move out of the cold palace, and inform her of the Crown Prince's return to the palace! After the Crown Prince's confinement is lifted, hold a flower viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden. Invite all the concubines in the harem, princes from various palaces, and noble ladies from the capital to attend, and arrange for a meeting between the Crown Prince and the Miao Princess."
Eunuch Xu understood what he meant and agreed quickly.
In the following days, Zhao Haoxuan lived a very fulfilling and busy life every day.
During the day, when the first ray of morning sunlight shone on the magnificent eaves of the East Palace, Zhao Haoxuan had already begun to deal with the tedious and complicated government affairs of the East Palace.
After finishing the government affairs, Zhao Haoxuan would gently close the door of the study and enter the mysterious and spiritual jade space.
In this isolated little world, he devoted himself to cultivation, wholeheartedly absorbing the rich spiritual energy around him.
Ever since he consumed the fourth-grade and fifth-grade Spirit Gathering Pills made from precious spiritual fruits, Zhao Haoxuan clearly felt that his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds like a rocket.
The bottleneck that had originally held him back was easily broken through, and he advanced rapidly all the way, successfully advancing to the fourth level of the Martial Emperor realm.
Not only that, the blood power in his body has also been stimulated and tempered to a great extent, and has now reached the level of elementary level eight.
Although there is still a long way to go before reaching the advanced stage, there has undoubtedly been a huge improvement compared to the previous situation.
Whenever night falls, Zhao Haoxuan will temporarily put aside his cultivation and accompany Wang Xinyao wholeheartedly to water the fields.
They strolled through the fields shrouded in moonlight, the breeze ruffling their hair and bringing with it the fresh scent of earth.
Along the way, they whispered to each other, sharing their experiences and feelings of the day, and laughter echoed from time to time in the quiet fields.
In this way, the days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, the ten-day confinement period was over.
