Chapter 244: Medicine for Height Increase

Shu Xiaoxiao had a very happy New Year when she returned to Kyoto, but she didn't know that because of her, all the ministers in Kyoto were so anxious that they couldn't even sleep well, let alone celebrate the New Year.

Grand Prince's Palace

"This is a great opportunity to win the hearts of the people. Your Highness, you must grab this mission." A goateed counselor said seriously.

"Of course this prince knows that this is a good job, but what can this prince do if the emperor doesn't say anything?" The eldest prince was a little annoyed. This was a good job that benefited both the country and the people. Although the emperor had been discussing the specific matters in the court, he just didn't specify who would be responsible for it.

Even his self-recommendation was rejected by his father. The more his father was like this, the more the ministers in the court tried their best to show off in front of him.

Now, regarding the spring planting, various emergencies that may occur have been discussed many times in the court. Whoever can grab this job doesn't even need to use his brain, and just needs to proceed step by step according to what has been discussed in recent days. Not to mention the prince, many ministers are also eager to take a bite of this big cake, and each of them has shown their loyalty to their father these days.

This job is easy, not dangerous, and the rewards are huge, so everyone wants to get involved.

As a result, until now, my father still refuses to say who is responsible for these matters. It is really tempting to have such a big fruit hanging in front of us but not be able to eat it.

"I heard that this crop was discovered by Lord Ye. Judging from the emperor's attitude towards Lord Ye, this should be true. We might as well try to win over Lord Ye. If we succeed, it will be a great help not only this time but also in the future. Even if we fail, we can still see Lord Ye's attitude."

The Sixth Prince suddenly returned to the capital. He is the eldest son and has a close relationship with Lord Ye, Prince Yun and others. He has all the advantages. If he is unintentional, it would be fine. But if he is intentional, he will definitely be their biggest threat. Not to mention anything else, at least they have to find out Lord Ye's attitude so that they can decide whether to win him over or be hostile to him.

It doesn’t matter whether they can pick the fruit or not. What’s important is that the Sixth Prince must not get it.

"No, my father told us not to disturb Master Ye unless it's necessary." When this matter was first announced, my father said that anyone who dared to disturb Master Ye would not be able to participate in this crop event.

When he heard this, he began to doubt who was the prince. They were arguing like cross-eyed cocks and wanted to fight. He heard that Master Ye was having fun every day like a child, but his father said that he should not be disturbed. He has been conferred a title and is receiving a salary from the court. Isn't it natural for him to work for the court?

The emperor has always been partial to Prince Yun, but they have their own opinions after all, so they didn't say anything. But who knew that Lord Ye would appear out of nowhere, and the emperor also protected him like a hero. It seems that there is no problem for them brothers. Can't the emperor's partiality be applied to him this time?

The staff thought for a moment and suggested, "I heard that Lord Ye has a very good relationship with the General's Mansion and often lives in the General's Mansion. His treatment is not much different from that of the young masters in the mansion. General Shu has made great contributions at the border and finally returned to the capital. You going to visit him shows that you are kind-hearted and concerned about the war, right? I'm sure even the emperor would praise you if he knew."

When the eldest prince heard about the General's Mansion, the first person he thought of was the legendary seriously ill Miss Shu. Alas, Miss Shu fell ill at such a bad time. Why was her health so poor? If she was in good health, would he have to work so hard for her?

If Miss Shu and the Eleventh Brother were engaged, not to mention the General's Mansion, with the relationship between Lord Ye and the General's Mansion, they would have the biggest advantage, not to mention all of Lord Ye's affairs! Why would they need to compete with others?

The Sixth Prince was determined not to get involved in this matter. If he had not known about his father's situation before, he would have participated in it and had a share of the pie. As for now, he has found his position. He is now just a member of the princes to make up the numbers. Work? He has no ability; fight for the throne? He has no interest. Anyway, he does nothing but watch the show and see how his brothers jump up and down.

The situation was similar in the mansions of other princes. They were even a little confused about Miss Shu who was seriously ill in the general's mansion. But for them, no matter whether Miss Shu was really sick or faking it, as long as she didn't marry their rivals and didn't show up, it was a good thing for them.

In addition to these princes, some ministers also wanted to get a piece of the pie. They used their connections everywhere to get promotions and salary increases. As they got older, their legs became thinner, but only they knew whether they achieved their goals.

This resulted in the General's Mansion being particularly crowded this year. The father and sons never stopped coming and going. If you didn't know, you would think that the General's Mansion was very popular in the court.

But they also agreed that since people came to their house, they couldn't chase them away, so they just accepted the gifts as usual, according to the annual gift rules. If they didn't like it, they would give one in return. As for the matter, they wouldn't be involved at all. If they didn't like it, they could just take the gifts they gave back. They didn't care.

Emperor Jingming, on the other hand, was sitting back and waiting. He was slow to decide on candidates and let the ministers play freely. Unexpectedly, he really caught some big fish. Not only his princes were stronger than he thought, but he also won over quite a few ministers. These ministers were a little too anxious, but that was also OK, as the saying goes, while the fisherman gains, the snipe and the clam fight.

By then, they will cooperate and supervise each other, and I believe they will be able to handle the spring planting well.

Shu Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, didn't care about anything. She just ate, played, and slept after playing. Within a few days, she had gained several pounds.

No matter what, Kyoto is extra lively this year!

"What did you say you wanted?"

Zhang, the imperial physician who saw Prince Yun early in the morning, looked Yun Qinghan up and down in disbelief, and advised him earnestly: "Prince, this... medicine is three-quarters poison. With your height, there is really no need to take medicine."

Who knows what kind of medicine that can make him grow taller that Yun Shizi came to him early in the morning? He was in such an incredible mood. Yun Shizi was nearly eight feet tall, which made him taller than most people. He might even grow taller in the next two years. If he had to use medicine, how could others survive? Then he would not be a dwarf, but a dwarf!

"Sir, the taller the better. I think you are good now. You look so handsome and vigorous. You are simply perfect. There is no need to waste medicine."

Imperial Physician Zhang was very earnest. Did Prince Yun have any special insights on height? He also wanted to prescribe medicine?

But sometimes, the tallest is not necessarily the best. Having an upright posture is a good thing, but being too upright is not good either. If you stand there like a tall person, you may have trouble finding a wife in the future.
