Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again
Chapter 229 The Crown Princess's Gentle Knife
As the ministers became anxious, they began to nag Jing Zhichen every day. Jing Zhichen was really annoyed by the nagging and his expression became worse day by day.
One day, Jing Zhichen had just finished dealing with a mountain of official business when he saw those ministers surrounding him again.
Amidst the endless persuasion, Jing Zhichen finally exploded and blasted everyone out.
Xu Xingyin learned about this from Grand Tutor Xiao Qilin.
Xiao Qilin said, "Now, Prince An is very aggressive, and His Majesty's attitude is getting colder. If Your Highness continues to stalemate with His Majesty, what if His Majesty really wants to abolish the crown prince? Your Highness has offended so many people over the years, I'm afraid he will be gnawed away to the bone. The Crown Princess is His Highness's first wife, and you are the only one who can persuade him at this time."
After Xiao Qilin said this, even though Xu Xingyin didn't think Jing Zhichen was to blame in this matter, he had no choice but to agree and went to the study room.
Xu Xingyin pushed the door of the study lightly and it opened.
The room was quiet, with only the faint scent of ink and the unique cold fragrance of Jing Zhichen.
"Your Highness?"
She called softly, but received no response.
Xu Xingyin frowned and walked a few steps inside, around the desk, only to find Jing Zhichen sitting by the window, looking deeply at the sky outside the window.
"Your Highness?"
Xu Xingyin called out again, and this time Jing Zhichen finally responded. He turned around, but his eyes were a little cold.
"How did you come?"
Xu Xingyin was startled by his sudden coldness, but quickly returned to normal. She walked to Jing Zhichen and spoke softly.
"I heard that Your Highness was in a bad mood today, so I came to see you."
Jing Zhichen glanced at her, the coldness in his eyes did not diminish, and asked lightly.
"Jiaojiao also thinks that I am wrong?"
"No." Xu Xingyin smiled and added, "Don't advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering. I understand this principle."
After hearing this, Jing Zhichen's expression eased a little.
Xu Xingyin quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "I just want to tell Your Highness that the weather outside is very good today. Instead of sulking in this room, why not accompany me for a walk. The sky is high and the sea is vast outside, why bother to be confined to this corner?"
It was a rare invitation from Xu Xingyin, so Jing Zhichen did not refuse. He put on his outer robe, and the two of them left the palace together.
Jing Zhichen was in a bad mood, and Xu Xingyin had no intention of showing off, so the two of them went out very low-key, without even bringing their personal servants.
At the market, Xu Xingyin and Jing Zhichen walked side by side. The shops on both sides of the street were full of dazzling goods, and people were coming and going, making it very lively.
Xu Xingyin didn't say a word about the court, but took Jing Zhichen's arm and ran straight to a stall selling candied haws.
Xu Xingyin said briskly, "Boss, give me two strings of candied haws."
The peddler was a middle-aged man. Upon seeing a customer coming, he immediately greeted the customer with a smile and deftly took out two strings of brightly colored candied haws from a straw bundle beside him and handed them over.
"Okay, take it, girl!"
Xu Xingyin took the candied haws with one hand, and Jing Zhichen took out his wallet to pay. When the vendor saw the shining silver ingot, he was so happy that he almost lost his sight.
While finding the money, he praised with a smile.
"Young Master and Young Lady, you are truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven!"
When Xu Xingyin heard this, a blush appeared on her face. Seeing that Jing Zhichen finally managed to smile, she quickly spoke in a proud tone.
"Boss, you have good vision. This young man is exactly what I want, so I got him early on. Now we are husband and wife!"
The peddler was even more delighted when he heard this. He handed the change to Jing Zhichen and congratulated him repeatedly.
"Congratulations to you two, it's a match made in heaven. May you stay together forever and grow old together!"
"Thank you, boss. I appreciate your good words!"
Xu Xingyin responded happily and said.
"Boss, you can probably coax even the little birds in the sky with your mouth. With such good words, you will surely make a fortune every day!"
"Ma'am, you are joking. I can only make a living with my mouth."
After hearing what Xu Xingyin said, the peddler scratched his head embarrassedly, smiled and sighed.
"If we want to talk about the prosperity of this business, it still depends on this peaceful and prosperous era. Without war and famine, people can live and work in peace and contentment, and have spare money to come to my stall to eat a string of candied haws."
Xu Xingyin took a bite of the candied haws, the sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth, and he blinked proudly at Jing Zhichen.
"Boss, you are right. If the country had not been prosperous, how could the people live and work in peace and contentment today? My husband and I also benefit from this peaceful and prosperous era, so we can travel together and enjoy the world."
Upon hearing this, the hawker nodded repeatedly with a gratified smile on his face.
"That's right! We have to thank the current emperor and the court for their good governance!"
Xu Xingyin said goodbye to the vendor with a smile, then handed the candied haws in his hand to Jing Zhichen's mouth and joked.
"Here, my husband, take a bite of the sweetness of this peaceful and prosperous age!"
The red candied haws were handed to him, and Xu Xingyin's face was full of the word "coaxing", which made Jing Zhichen feel a little amused and helpless.
The anticipation in Xu Xingyin's eyes was so strong that Jing Zhichen could hardly resist, so he turned his head and took a bite.
"Is it sweet?" Xu Xingyin blinked and asked with a smile.
"sweet."
Xu Xingyin smiled and said, "The reason why the people can live in peace and happiness is because there are upright people like Your Highness who carry the burden forward. Your Highness, the sweetness of this prosperous age is really hard-won, and it cannot be easily destroyed by others."
How could Jing Zhichen not hear the hidden meaning behind Xu Xingyin's words?
The sweetness of this peaceful and prosperous era is not only the candied haws in his hand, but also his responsibility and honor as the crown prince to protect the peace of this land and the people.
Jing Zhichen nodded slightly and said, "How can the world change because of one person?"
"Why not?!"
Xu Xingyin was a little anxious. "Prince An is ambitious and is making frequent moves in the court. Although Prince An is also of royal blood, he is too selfish and only considers his own interests, regardless of the lives of the people. Your Highness, you are angry with your father for a moment. If the situation in the court really changes because of this, the people will suffer!"
Jing Zhichen looked at Xu Xingyin, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he actually burst out laughing.
Xu Xingyin was a little confused and asked in confusion, blinking his eyes.
"What are you laughing at, Your Highness?"
"The gentle sword of Princess Xiao is much more effective than the words of the ministers in the East Palace. They have the same goal, but they put such a high hat on me. If I don't agree, I will abandon the people of the world."
