Chapter 260 What kind of dog is this? It's such a dog!
She tapped her head, somewhat dejected.
How did I fall asleep?!
[I was clearly planning to wait for Ah Xu to come back.]
Zhai Rongyu stood up with a sigh, took a couple of steps without realizing it, and then realized something was wrong.
Zhai Rongyu: ? ? ?
[Is my physical condition really that good?]
[Can you really regain your mental energy just by sleeping?]
She took two more steps, then hopped around in place a couple of times.
【Hehe!】
[It really did recover!]
[No, has the world really gotten this chaotic?]
Just as they were wondering, Hua Ying came in from outside the door.
"Miss Zhai the Second".
She observed that Zhai Rongyu's spirits had improved considerably, and nodded, saying, "It seems that what the Lord said is true. Opening up the Baopu Taoist Temple will accumulate merit for you."
"The Taoist temple is open?!" Zhai Rongyu exclaimed in surprise.
"No wonder you recovered so quickly overnight."
Hua Ying nodded. "Last night, the lord made a show of force in the capital. Before dawn today, Yunshan was already crowded with people offering incense."
Although the emperor had a hand in pushing things forward, the main reason was the "great achievements" that Miss Zhai had accumulated in the past, and many people in the capital already believed in her abilities.
"The incense offerings at Yuqing Temple are now less than half of those at Baopu Taoist Temple."
Zhai Rong took out the Boundless Divine Turtle from the cloth bag and saw that the markings on its shell had changed from red to yellow, and were even trending towards green.
[If I had known it would be this effective, I would have opened the Taoist temple sooner.]
I was so busy I forgot.
These days have left me exhausted...
However, the more people offer incense, the more she has to constantly seek out the appropriate causes and effects from their prayers to help them resolve their troubles.
Otherwise, if one only receives offerings but does nothing good, it will be difficult to sustain.
She excitedly put away the Boundless Divine Turtle, then suddenly noticed Hua Ying's lips.
"Sister Huaying, what happened to your lip?" she asked, puzzled.
"I got bitten by a dog," Hua Ying blurted out.
Zhai Rongyu's eyes widened.
"What kind of dog is this? It's such a dog!"
[It even bit its lip; this dog's got some nerve.]
Hua Ying's face turned unnatural. She coughed and changed the subject, "It's getting late. His Majesty asked me to escort you back to the Minister's residence."
"Where is Ah Xu?"
……
Zhai Rongyu arrived outside the study and heard the sounds coming from inside.
"The Ministry of Rites has scheduled the investiture ceremony for the princes in three days, but the candidates for the crowns have not yet been decided."
After Zhiying finished reporting, she happened to see Zhai Rongyu walk in. "Second Miss Zhai."
Jun Ce stood up and walked over to her. "Why did you come here?"
"Are you feeling any better?"
He helped Zhai Rongyu sit down and carefully examined her legs. Zhai Rongyu smiled and took his hand, saying, "They've recovered a lot."
"What are you talking about?"
"To be made a king? Who wants to be made a king?"
Jun Ce stood up and saw that she was indeed in much better spirits, which put his mind at ease.
"It's Huai Ren."
"San San?" Zhai Rongyu asked in surprise, "What did he do?"
Why have you suddenly become so highly regarded?
When Jun Ce heard her affectionate address, his eyes darkened for a moment, but he still said, "Huai Ren has grown Rouge Rice, which has solved the grain production problem in many areas. His Majesty is overjoyed and wants to bestow upon him the title of Prince of Fengze."
"Rouge Rice? What is that?" Zhai Rongyu asked, somewhat puzzled.
The figure smiled and said, "This Rouge Rice is round in shape and tastes better than ordinary rice, hence the name Rouge Rice."
"I never imagined that such good rice would be even easier to grow than the rice we had before."
"Moreover, the price of one shi (a unit of dry measure) of Rouge Rice is a full 30% cheaper than that of ordinary rice! How could His Majesty not be happy that the people can eat better-tasting rice for less money?"
Zhai Rongyu was even more astonished.
"I never knew San San had such abilities!"
She was truly impressed.
He is no longer the incompetent prince described in the original book.
He's changed; he's become a stranger!
Jun Ce glanced at her and said, "It was a method secretly given to you by your father."
"However, that method was not perfect, and Huai Ren did put a lot of effort into researching it."
"My father?" Zhai Rongyu's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up.
[Has Father switched sides and decided to support San San?!]
Jun Ce lowered his eyes, pondered for a long time, and then said to Zhiying, "Go and inform the Ministry of Rites that I will preside over Huai Ren's capping ceremony."
The figure exclaimed in surprise: "If Your Majesty is to bestow the crown upon the Third Prince, it is inevitable that people will divide you into factions..."
He glanced at Zhai Rongyu, then suddenly realized, "I'll take care of it right away."
The Lord is eager to draw up camps.
He really spoils his wife...
He's already so eager to announce to the whole world that he's siding with his future father-in-law.
The figure lowered its head, made faces and gestures for a while, and then wisely took its leave.
He silently closed the study door.
Jun Ce walked up to Zhai Rongyu, his handsome face solemn. "There's something you need to know: the Duke of Wei is a man of the Five Kings."
The book says that the second brother became Wei Wenshu's lapdog, but Wei Wenshu's heart belongs to the Fifth Prince.
At first, I just thought it was a melodramatic love triangle, but I never imagined there were such vested interests involved.
"The Five Kings?" Zhai Rongyu chuckled. "What a fine list of Five Kings."
"No wonder Wei Wenshu tried every means to get close to my second brother."
"So that's what they were planning."
She thought for a long time, then suddenly looked up and said, "If Wei Wenshu successfully gets involved with my second brother, then the Duke of Wei and my father will be bound together. Will you, for my sake, refrain from exposing the Fifth Prince's treasonous act?"
They really are cunning.
I hope my second brother will be more capable and not be led astray by Wei Wenshu.
Other teams are all skilled wolves and far-sighted eagles; Second Brother, don't become a troublemaker or a black sheep for Father.
“It is indeed a bit difficult.” A smile appeared in Jun Ce’s eyes. “Rong’er should go back to the Minister’s residence as soon as possible.”
"After all, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman."
Zhai Rong wrapped her arms around his neck, looked up and smiled, "Is A-Xu a hero too?"
"I wouldn't call myself a hero."
Zhai Rongyu slowly released her grip, "What the hell..."
Suddenly, her waist was embraced.
"Of all the waters in the world, only Rong'er is the hardest to overcome." Jun Ce's deep, husky voice rippled in her ear, and Zhai Rongyu blushed instantly.
"Then why do you want to send me back to the Minister's residence?"
"Didn't you say this place was safer than the Minister's residence?" she muttered, head down, seemingly dissatisfied. "How come you're already abandoning me after just one night?"
Jun Ce chuckled softly and looked down at the person in his arms.
"Rong'er really wants to stay with me?"
Zhai Rongyu's face flushed, and she turned her head away from him, saying, "Who wants to be with you?"
"I just saw that there was food and drink here, so I figured I might as well take advantage of it."
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore." Jun Ce let go of his hand and said seriously, "The Dragon Clan's kill order has been revoked."
"But my Regent's Palace will probably become the target of everyone's criticism."
