The Tyrannical Emperor Reborn Chapter 36 Part 2

"Fuhua is a princess, and Yueqing is also a princess. If Lin En wants to be an imperial son-in-law, what difference does it make which princess it is?" Qi Junmu said flatly, watching the Empress Dowager's eyes redden with urgency, his heart unmoved.

"How could that be the same?" The Empress Dowager could tell the Emperor was speaking in anger and snapped, "Fuhua is the Eldest Princess—the Emperor's own sister, the Empress Dowager's own daughter. She has been cherished and adored since birth; even the court ministers treat her with special respect. What is Yueqing? The daughter of a mere concubine—how dare she compare herself to Fuhua? Go ahead and issue that edict, and see if your uncle is pleased with such a match."

Fang Zichen let out a long sigh.

Zhao Ger looked at him. "What's wrong?"

Fang Zichen said nothing was wrong, and went down into the field to chat with two old farmers.

He didn't really need to ask—he already knew. They got less than two hundred catties per mu. The only saving grace was that they could grow two seasons; if it were just one, there truly wouldn't be enough to eat.

Most villagers sold their harvested rice and bought cheap brown rice to eat instead.

"What rumors could possibly spread?" Qi Junmu asked, looking puzzled. "Your son already heard about this from Shen Nian before coming here. The one who pulled Yueqing out of the water was your eunuch, and the one who saved Cousin Lin En was Shen Nian. Shen Nian grew up on the frontier—his manners may be a bit rough, but he's an upright man. I trust he would never do anything to ruin anyone's reputation, let alone go around talking about this. Imperial Mother, you're worrying too much."

"How am I worrying too much?" The Empress Dowager's face showed irritation and impatience. Her brows knitted with concern. "Just now, so many eunuchs and imperial guards saw Lin En, Shen Nian, and Yueqing in the water. Those two are young men after all—people will wonder why they jumped in. Did they touch Yueqing? Rumors aren't something you can just forbid and make go away."

Zhao Ger changed the babies' pants, then personally went to the village to buy a chicken. He thought Guaizai looked a little thinner and wanted to fatten him up.

Fang Zichen was speechless. Thinner? Where? He didn't see it at all. The whole way back, the little rascal had been running around with those young women and gers, having the time of his life—he'd only come looking for Fang Zichen when he was tired and wanted to sleep. Zhao Ger made it sound like he'd been abusing their son!

After dinner, Fang Zichen bolted straight for their room.

Fang Zichen rushed over and scooped up Gungun and Dandan in one go. Though he'd been gone for over ten days, the twins still remembered him. They were delighted to see him and kept howling with joy, just like a pair of little wolf cubs.

Fang Zichen kissed them. The two little ones nuzzled against him, chuckling happily, clearly overjoyed.

Guaizai tilted his head up and said urgently, "Father, Guaizai wants to hold the little brothers too!"

Qi Junmu was a man of decisive action. Shen Nian's plan was sound, but there were still many details to fill in—especially regarding who would be sent to the West Frontier. He would have to weigh his options carefully.

First, the candidate needed to be of sufficiently high rank to outshine Chang Sheng—ideally, a prince. Second, he needed to make Chang Sheng feel as though the Emperor had no one else but him for the job. And since the best performances are nine parts truth and one part acting, the people accompanying the prince would be just as crucial.

He already had a prince in mind. But as for that one especially critical attendant—Qi Junmu ran through several names in his head, only to reject each one in turn.

Fang Zichen didn't know much about other types of roads—the only ones he'd dealt with were dirt roads, cement roads, and asphalt roads. The last one was too difficult, but cement roads were easy enough to handle.

For cement roads, the main materials were limestone and clay. Asphalt roads had higher construction costs, and their anti-slip and other properties were better than cement, but funds were tight right now. There weren't any big trucks on the roads anyway, and no one was racing—so cement roads were the first choice.

Originally, he'd only planned to tidy up the dirt roads—widening where needed, patching where needed.
