C313 The Emperor was ordered to do so

Above the Audience Hall, the Emperor was still waiting for the Fifth Prince.

Right at this moment, a sound came from outside the palace. The emperor looked down and saw the Eunuch Ming bringing the Fifth Prince back to report.

"Your majesty, the Fifth Prince has arrived." Eunuch Ming walked up and greeted Yuwen Di.

Yuwen Di nodded as he watched the Fifth Prince walk up and bow to him, paying his respects to his father.

After about half a month, the Fifth Prince had grown quite a bit taller, and his figure was tall, even slightly taller than the Emperor.

"However, after half a month, my son has grown a bit taller. "With this leader here, I don't know if his knowledge has improved." The Emperor glanced at the Fifth Prince before intentionally teasing him.

The Fifth Prince clasped his hands towards the Emperor and said with his head lowered, "In reply to Imperial Father's words, this son has been familiar with the 'Classic of the Left' for the past few days. Until today, I have only gained a little bit.

The Emperor didn't expect the Fifth Prince to reply in such a way, and couldn't help but smile at him. "'Left Wing' is obscure. You don't have to worry. You'll naturally reap rewards from studying it more."

"Father summoned me here today, is it to inspect my lessons?" The Fifth Prince cupped his hands and said to the Emperor.

As soon as the Fifth Prince finished speaking, Yuwen Di smiled and waved his hand, then said to the Fifth Prince: "Your son is always diligent, so these royal fathers know about it. Thus, the reason they called you here today, was not to inspect your homework."

"Father is in a hurry to summon me today. Is there something urgent?" The Fifth Prince was slightly surprised as he raised his head to ask the Emperor.

Only now did Yuwen Di's expression become serious. He looked outside, then returned to his senses and said to the Fifth Prince: "Do you know that in another month, it will be the salt season in my Jin Country?"

"Of course, salt luck is the bloodline of our Jin Country, and every year, the Prince Mu will be in charge of it." "The Fifth Prince hesitated for a moment before nodding towards Yuwen Di. Why did royal father suddenly bring up this matter today? "

Yuwen Di sighed, and spoke sincerely to the Fifth Prince: "has always been responsible for the matters of salt transportation in our country, but now that Prince Mu is old, we cannot bear to see him continue to work hard, so we have been thinking and thinking for the past few days, and want you to take care of it."

The Fifth Prince was surprised to hear the Emperor's words. He raised his head and looked at Yuwen Di, unable to say a word for a long while.

"What's wrong?" Yuwen Di saw that the Fifth Prince's expression was strange and asked him.

"This son has never been in control of anything related to salt. Father suddenly handed the matter over to this son. This son is truly terrified." The Fifth Prince bent down and said this to the Emperor.

Unexpectedly, Yuwen Di waved his hand, and with a composed expression, he said to the Fifth Prince: "It's not difficult to not have a deal, and there will naturally be people who will tell you about the matter. I have summoned you here today only to ask you, are you willing to take charge of the matter regarding the salt transportation?"

Would you like that?

"The Fifth Prince hesitated for a moment, before raising his head to look at Yuwen Di with a resolute expression. this son is willing. "

"Seeing the Fifth Prince's appearance, Yuwen Di nodded his head in gratification. Since that's the case, you can go and prepare. Before long, the imperial edict will reach your estate. "

Even as the Fifth Prince replied, Yuwen Di did not forget to remind him, "The matter of the salt transportation is extremely important. You must not let your guard down. If anything goes wrong, I will definitely not protect you. "

"Don't worry royal father, this son will definitely give it his all, and will definitely not disgrace royal father's mission." The Fifth Prince knelt down and said this to the Emperor.

Hearing the Fifth Prince's words, the Emperor waved his hand at him. "Of course I know your capabilities, or else I wouldn't have handed this over to you."

Yuwen Di arranged for him to go down and make preparations while he chatted with the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Prince was just about to leave when he seemed to recall something and turned around, hesitating to speak as he looked at the Emperor.

Seeing that the Fifth Prince was unwilling to leave, Yuwen Di could not help but feel suspicious. He smiled at him and asked: "What else do you want?"

Just as Yuwen Di finished speaking, the Fifth Prince knelt on the ground and said to the Emperor: "royal father, today, this son has accepted the task of bringing salt to Jiangnan, and will be leaving the capital in a few days' time. Furthermore, this departure will take at least two to three months, so before this son leaves, I wish to ask you for a favor."

"You child, why must you bow so deeply?" Yuwen Di's tone was laced with reproach, but he could not resist laughing out loud. His body slightly leaned forward as he said to the Fifth Prince, "Just what matter do you have to request of me? Speak freely."

Only now did the Fifth Prince slightly raise his head, and his throat was slightly choked with sobs. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Yuwen Di, "Father, this son wishes to request that you visit mother more in the days before I leave the capital."

Hearing the Fifth Prince's words, the smile on Yuwen Di's face slowly stiffened, and he slowly sat back on the dragon throne. He stretched out his hand to wave his sleeves at the Fifth Prince, indicating for him to get up.

Ever since Duan Yunfei's incident, the emperor had been brooding over it. After the empress's birthday banquet, Yuwen Di had never gone to the empress's chambers again.

The Fifth Prince refused to get up and earnestly said to the Emperor, "Imperial Father, this son knows that Imperial Mother has done many things wrong and also knows that because Imperial Father and Mother hurt Thirteenth Princess, there is a grudge between us. But he is still Imperial Mother after all. Now that Sixth Sister has been living in seclusion in the palace and is unable to come and go as a child, and this son is going to Jiangnan, I hope that Royal Father can, on the behalf of husband and wife, let bygones be bygones and stop blaming Mother. "

Hearing the Fifth Prince's words, Yuwen Di couldn't help but fall silent, and then let out a heavy sigh. Do you know how many evil and wicked things your mother has done for herself? " Yuwen Di smiled bitterly, raised his head and said to the Fifth Prince.

"Even if everyone in the world can speak ill of her, this son cannot. Even if everyone in the world can criticize her for doing wrong, this son cannot." The Fifth Prince heavily kowtowed on the ground and spoke word by word to the Emperor.

"Whatever, whatever. Although your mother has done many wrong things, she has given birth to a few good children." Yuwen Di sighed and waved the Fifth Prince off. "You can rest assured. I will naturally prepare well for you, your mother."

Seeing the Emperor's response, the Fifth Prince hurriedly kowtowed to the Emperor and said, "Many thanks, Imperial Father."

A long time ago! A new year was coming.
