Chapter 328 Envy
Emperor Suwen lay tiredly on the simple wooden bed at the construction site. Although his body had been exhausted to the limit by the day's hard work, he still couldn't fall asleep. The eunuch Liu, who was standing next to him, had already fallen asleep because of his weak body. His light snoring was particularly clear in the quiet night.
At this time, a thin and dark worker came over and whispered to Emperor Su Wen: "Old Nine, I didn't expect that you are so strong! You haven't fallen asleep even though you are so tired. Why don't you just get up and walk around? I just heard that there will be a grand bonfire party here tomorrow night!
Our south city is really a golden nest now. Look, a large number of new houses have been built! The manager here said that we should reward our hard-working workers. Tomorrow night, we will not only have a sumptuous meal, but also drink several glasses of wine! "
When Emperor Suwen heard this, he was moved. He sat up and responded, "Okay, I feel a little hungry right now. I just wonder if there is any good place to eat nearby?"
Shouhei nodded quickly and smiled: "Of course there is! There is one not far away. The side dishes of the Sun family are really excellent! But... you just came here not long ago, and I guess your salary hasn't been paid yet? It's okay, I will treat you this time, and after you get paid, you can treat me in return!" After saying that, Shouhei laughed proudly.
"Okay, okay, lead the way." Emperor Su Wen was very humble. After learning about Emperor Su Wen's identity, Shou Hei would brag about his past when he drank with his descendants.
In the south of the city, Ji Lanchen was busy with the completion of the new house. He passed the good news to Yun Yuxi, looking forward to her response.
Not long after, Ji Lanchen received Yun Yuxi's reply and unfolded the note. It read: "You can handle this matter at your discretion, but you must first pay everyone's wages, and then give the hard-working workers a three-day holiday so that they can have a good rest."
Looking at the lively, cute and innocent twins in front of him, Ji Lanchen couldn't help but feel a strong sense of relief. Recalling the various choices and experiences he had made, he felt that everything he had now was so hard-won.
When he looked at the once barren land, which was now covered with tall buildings, Ji Lanchen admired Yun Yuxi even more. It was hard to imagine that such a grand project was created by a woman, and she also had such a broad mind and tolerance.
At the same time, the princes in the palace, as if they had telepathy, almost unanimously guessed that Emperor Suwen was not in the palace at this time.
As a result, they mobilized their respective forces and began to search for the whereabouts of Emperor Suwen.
However, no matter how hard these princes racked their brains, they could never have imagined that the king of a country, who was so high and mighty, would be hiding in a construction site in the south of the city at this moment, experiencing the hard life of the common people firsthand, and even willing to serve as an ordinary coolie.
In order to fight for the right to inherit the throne, the princes used all their tricks, which could be described as the Eight Immortals crossing the sea - each showing their magical powers. For a time, the entire capital was in chaos, with various forces competing with each other, fighting openly and secretly.
Among them, the third prince was the most active and proactive. He ran around everywhere, trying to win over dignitaries and people from all walks of life. In sharp contrast was the fifth prince, who was extremely low-key, as if he was staying out of the matter, and continued to live a free and unrestrained life all day long.
How could all this be hidden from the eyes of the Dragon Guards? Emperor Suwen didn't care. He just wanted to see how capable his sons were.
In the tavern, Shouhei and Emperor Suwen chatted idly. They toasted each other with glasses, and Emperor Suwen felt very relaxed. It turned out that happiness for poor people was so simple.
"Boss, what's the matter with you? I will go home as soon as these two guests leave. Look at you, you are tired all day long, why don't you take a good rest? You even came all the way here to pick me up. Oh, you are the only one who treats me as a treasure like this!" The proprietress of the tavern said coquettishly to the dark-skinned and burly man in front of her.
The dark-faced man chuckled and scratched his head: "Wife, you are pregnant now, and I really can't let it go. So, as soon as I finished the work at hand, I hurried to pick you up.
We can just ask someone to look after our pub. You just need to stay at home and take care of your pregnancy. You don't have to worry about anything else. I finally got a beautiful wife like you, and I'm about to become a father. How can I not treat my wife as my darling? "Li Musheng grinned, his face full of smiles, completely ignoring the looks from others, and said sweet words shamelessly.
The proprietress rolled her eyes at him and muttered softly, "Come on, stop talking nonsense. The customers are still here! By the way, are you hungry? How about I go make you something to eat, and we can go home together later."
"Haha, my wife understands my heart the best! Then please trouble my wife to cook me a bowl of delicious shredded pork noodles. I have been craving for it for a long time!" Li Musheng said as he happily walked to an empty table next to him and sat down.
Emperor Suwen shook his head, feeling like he was eating a handful of dog food. It turned out that the love between ordinary couples was so sincere. Then he thought about the three thousand beauties in his harem, wondering who truly loved him, and who was not scheming for power!
At this time, Shouhei was already a little drunk. He stood up shakily, paid for the wine, said hello to Li Musheng, and then left the tavern with the support of another guest, Emperor Suwen.
Li Musheng, who was happily waiting for his wife to make noodles for him, did not notice the two men's departure at all, let alone recognize the majestic Emperor Suwen among them.
At this moment, all he wanted to think about was how to quickly eat the delicious bowl of shredded pork noodles, then go home happily holding his wife's hand.
Uncle Mu touched his bald head, feeling a little depressed. It was his own niece who did it, so what else could he do? However, after he recovered, he still had a lot of worries. Many dignitaries in Kyoto wanted to marry into the Mu family, but he only had the girl from the Fang family in his heart.
